His foot seemed to have recovered even more.
The little boy dragged his sprained foot and slowly made his way toward the school gate.
Xiao Xiao learned the rest afterward.
"You don't want to call Grandma..."
Xiao Xiao crouched down and looked at the child. "Are you afraid she'll scold you?"
"Or..."
"Do you not want Grandma to worry?"
The little boy stiffened.
Xiao Xiao understood. "You don't want Grandma to worry."
The little boy murmured,
"...Grandma's foot just got better..."
"And now I sprained mine..."
The little boy fidgeted with his fingers.
Speaking of which, Xiao Xiao had also thought it was quite a coincidence when he recognized the child as Lele.
Was the Yu family destined to keep spraining their feet?
And he seemed to have a connection with the Yu family, too.
He had been there when Grandma Yu sprained her foot.
In the end, he had been the one to take her home.
This time, was he going to take Grandma Yu's grandson home because of a sprained foot?
"So you still don't want to call Grandma now, either?"
Xiao Xiao made sure.
The child shook his head instinctively.
Xiao Xiao smiled gently. "Grandma will definitely be touched to know how much Lele cares about her."
"But..."
His expression grew serious as he looked at the little boy. "It's not good to push yourself too hard."
"If something were to happen to you..."
"Grandma would be even more heartbroken."
For example, if the electric scooter had hit the child just now...
What if it hadn't been an electric scooter, but a car...
What would have happened to the child?
The little boy looked sheepish.
A little at a loss.
Xiao Xiao held out his hand.
