Walking out of a mall hand in hand, Gui Gui stooped down and asked the little boy, "Now, you've got a new warm cozy little sweater, sweetie can you tell us what is your name so we can find your mommy?"
He squinted his eyes at her and pouted as Aaron also got down to his eye level to help persuade him.
He simply drew his hands over to his mouth and pressed his palms hard against his lips. Gui Gui knew that they were going to have a hard time and Aaron also quietly exchanged tacit glances with her. The boy creased his eyebrows ever so tightly and he shook his head defiantly.
Just as the two of them began to rack their brains together for an effective way to get him to speak up again, the evening wind rose and rustled. The cover above the mall entrance had its Christmas decorations loosened and a piece of mistletoe snapped and fell off right onto the little boy's head.
"Ouch!" He cried but his agile hand easily caught hold of the white round bulb of mistletoe that was actually made of real marshmallows.
He squealed and popped the candy right into his mouth, startling Gui Gui and Aaron. Chuckling with glee, he confessed to them that it is soft and sweet marshmallows. Though they were both not relieved in any way, he pointed with his pair of short fingers at either side of his cheeks.
"Me want a kiss!" He insisted at the top of his voice.
Gui Gui sighed in exasperation, "Oh my dear, don't you miss mommy and daddy?"
He broke into a bubbly laugh again with an adorably hopeful face.
Aaron turned to Gui Gui and shrugged smilingly, "Now, after we kiss you, please tell big brother and big sister about your mommy and daddy okay? Promise?"
The boy clasped his hands together and grinned rather mischievously before nodding excitedly.
Thus, Aaron and Gui Gui drew near to the little naughty angel and planted loving kisses on his chubby cheeks.
What happened next was the cheerful little guy abruptly stepped back in a flash and strongly pushed the shoulders of the unsuspecting two towards each other so their lips met forcefully. Aaron and Gui Gui opened their eyes wide in utter disbelief.
The clock tower struck twelve midnight and a touching Christmas hymn resounded in the air.
