Grandma Yu gently stroked the child's cheek.
"Does it hurt?"
"Not too much."
The little boy answered obediently.
Grandma Yu didn't believe him.
If it didn't hurt, why couldn't he even walk by himself...
Grandma Yu looked up.
Her face filled with gratitude.
She really had to thank this kind-
Grandma Yu froze.
"It's you!?"
Grandfather Yu spoke first.
His face was full of surprise.
"Xiao, Xiao..."
Grandma Yu stammered a little.
Xiao Xiao blinked, the corners of his mouth turning up in a smile. "Yes, it's me."
"Xiao Xiao."
After a brief moment of surprise, Grandma Yu smiled. "You..."
She looked at Xiao Xiao, then at her grandson.
Xiao Xiao understood. "I happened to see him sitting on the ground while I was out on the street. I recognized Lele, so I brought him back."
"Sitting on the ground?"
Grandma Yu quickly picked up on the key point. "And you said your foot didn't hurt?"
If it didn't hurt, why had he been sitting on the ground?
"Huh?"
The little boy was a little confused.
He didn't understand what his grandmother's words had to do with each other.
What did sitting on the ground have to do with telling her his foot didn't hurt...
What was the connection?
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Grandma Yu, you've got it wrong."
"Lele fell onto the ground while trying to dodge an electric scooter."
"Though his foot did start hurting afterward."
So Grandma Yu wasn't entirely wrong.
She just had the order mixed up.
The little boy hadn't sat down because his foot hurt.
He'd discovered that his foot hurt after he fell to the ground.
While dodging the electric scooter, he hadn't been careful and had put too much strain on his foot.
