The First Warm Moment (Part 2)
Xiao Bai's Story — a careful meal and a gentle hand.
小白正在吃女孩放的饭。Xiao Bai was eating the food the girl had put down.他吃得很慢，好像怕东西会不见。He ate slowly, as if afraid the food might disappear.女孩看着他，脸上满是关心。The girl watched him, her face full of care.
小白抬头时，看见女孩正在微笑。When Xiao Bai looked up, he saw the girl smiling.这让他有点安心，也不再那么害怕。This made him feel a little safer, and less afraid.
女孩蹲下来，把手伸给小白闻。The girl crouched down and held out her hand for Xiao Bai to smell.小白轻轻碰了一下她的手。Xiao Bai gently touched her hand.女孩说：“如果你冷，可以在这休息。”The girl said, "If you're cold, you can rest here."
小白跳回纸盒，慢慢躺下。Xiao Bai jumped back into the box and slowly lay down.第一次，他觉得这个世界也有好人。For the first time, he felt there were good people in this world after all.
