Elder Mei was taken aback when he heard this. "He's still young."... "
"This is Master's instruction. When a child falls, don't help him up. He should be taught how to stand up after a fall." Leng Shuang explained as she walked slowly forward, her gaze remaining on the young boy. "You must stand up on your own. Stand up on your own. Good boy."
The little boy looked aggrieved. He sniffed, his mouth was flattened and his eyes were red and watery. He looked at Leng Shuang in this way, hands outstretched, and said in a soft, adorable voice, "Aunt, hug."
Elder Mei nearby couldn't bear to see it. How could such a young child...
"Stand up by yourself, and Aunt will hug you," Leng Shuang said, looking at him encouragingly.
