"What?"
The mother leaned closer to her child.
Then she finally heard what her child was saying...
"My little sister likes it."
The mother froze.
But soon, a tender smile appeared on her face.
"Bao Bao picked the pink balloon for his little sister."
The mother spoke clearly.
Her voice grew louder, too.
She knew that plenty of people watching had said nothing, but were surely blaming her child in their hearts.
They thought he was being selfish, fighting a little girl over a balloon...
