The second person to start handing out chocolates was Xia Liang.
Putting aside Bai Jingxuan, who was momentarily puzzled after Emerald Sparrow suddenly tugged at her cheek, the other two had clearly begun to adapt to this entire process. When Xia Liang circled the table and handed out chocolate one by one, even Lin Xiaolu knew to stretch out her hand properly to accept it, quietly adding a soft, "Thank you," while at it.
Compared to the large pieces of chocolate Bai Jingxuan had given out, Xia Liang's creations were significantly smaller, judging from their packaging alone. Each person only received a palm-sized little box, tied with a silk ribbon and adorned with a bow of varying styles. Next to the bow, a dried flower corresponding to the recipient's code name was affixed. For instance, Lin Xiaolu's gift box featured a tiny dried white rose, Emerald Sparrow's box bore a paper-crafted emerald sparrow flower, and naturally, Bai Jingxuan's box was marked with an edelweiss.
