the way he runs up to hug naying
and when he hugs cats

stuffed animals are no exception

“He walked past the crowds, opened his arms, and gave him a sincere hug. He hugged him tightly, and buried his head in Wakin’s shoulder.”
xiaozhan’s mom: “i just want to hug you, and kiss you, and i’ll be satisfied.”
xiaozhan is just very affectionate with his family and friends

xiaozhan’s hugs are so warm and loving, just like he is
