With sugar stains still clinging to the corners of her mouth, Chaochao stared wide-eyed and solemnly denied the accusation.
"It wasn't me who stole or ate anything; Chaochao didn't eat any."

Unfortunately, she herself was unaware that she had been exposed.
Huo Qin clicked his tongue, bent down and pulled out a tissue, gently wiping away the sticky sugar residue from the corner of Chaochao's mouth.
