The man tugged at the woman's hand.
He gave Hua Ziyun an apologetic smile.
"Could you trouble yourself to close the door?"
Hua Ziyun nodded.
He closed the door behind him.
He had a feeling...
He was probably going to be delayed here for a while again.
"Thank you."
The man thanked the young man.
Then...
"Sorry."
The man smiled bitterly.
"Looks like we're going to take up some more of your time again."
Sure enough.
Hua Ziyun smiled.
His premonition had been spot-on.
He shook his head slightly.
Signaling that it was fine.
Only then did the woman realize that she had been overly agitated.
She took a deep breath.
She crouched down in front of the child.
She picked up the Little Bear Doll the child had thrown onto the floor.
She held it up in front of the child.
"Why did you throw the Little Bear Doll on the floor?"
The woman worked hard to calm herself.
She made herself communicate with the child calmly.
"It's not my Little Bear Doll!"
Compared to the woman, the child seemed even more agitated.
The child wore an almost ferocious expression.
Yet her eye sockets were red.
Like a small beast baring its claws and fangs.
Desperately displaying its sharp teeth.
The woman took another deep breath.
"Yesterday..."
The woman enunciated each word.
"Weren't you the one who said it was your Little Bear Doll?"
"That's why big brother went out of his way to bring the Little Bear Doll to you today."
"And now you're saying it isn't your Little Bear Doll?"
"Tian Xiaoyu."
The woman called the child by her full name.
"Are you joking?"
"Are you playing with us?"
"Do you know what you're saying?"
The woman's expression was stern.
