Ning Rongrong nodded hard, tears swirling in her eyes, yet she fought to keep them from falling.
She extended her little hand and gently patted the back of his hand, imitating her father as if making a promise.
Su Yu said softly from the side, "Uncle Ning, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Rongrong and make sure she eats properly. I'll definitely get her to put on some weight."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Su Yu, relief showing in his eyes. He patted Su Yu's shoulder.
"With you here, I'm naturally at ease."
He lowered his head to look at Ning Rongrong again and ruffled her hair. "Then Father's leaving. Be good and listen."
Ning Rongrong released his sleeve and watched her father's back as he turned away.
Only after that figure disappeared through the academy gates did she clutch Su Yu's hand, lean her little head against his arm, and gently rub against it.
After Ning Fengzhi and the others left, Su Yu took Ning Rongrong to Suotuo City.
Tang Yuehua had said that getting out more would help Ning Rongrong recover!
"Rongrong, tell your older brother what you want to eat. Your older brother will buy it for you!"
"Mm! Mmm!"
"No need to thank me. It's what your older brother should do!"
Suddenly, Ning Rongrong seemed to think of something and patted Su Yu's back.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Rongrong?"
Ning Rongrong made no sound. She simply continued patting Su Yu's back.
Seeing that Su Yu didn't understand what she meant, Ning Rongrong walked in front of him and squatted down.
Then, Ning Rongrong stood up and pointed at the spot where she had just squatted.
How could Su Yu fail to understand? He walked in front of Ning Rongrong and, following her wishes, squatted steadily before her.
