Liu Danhang looked at the two of them chowing down on the whiteradishes. A glimpse of shyness crossed his simple smiling face. Then he took abig bite of the white radish. He was too hungry to politely decline.
 After finishing the whiteradish, Cheng Xiao Xiao picked up the herbs that Liu Danhang collected. Eventhough they were about the same as what she had, theyâd still be helpful to herfather.
Suddenly, Cheng Xiao Xiaoâs look turned serious. Slowly she pickedup a few plants that looked like orchid and her face was covered with joy andsurprises.

Cheng Xiao Xiao, who was walking in frontof everyone, stopped. She looked a bit surprised at the slightly nervous personand asked nonchalantly, âWhatâs the matter?â
Cheng Zheng Yuan smiled at them.
