Youyou replied, "I'm sorry, mommy. Principal Li wanted to treat me to desserts, so…"
"There's no next time, alright? I'm just worried because it's already this late at night."
"Okay!" The boy returned a playful reply to assuage her. "Mommy, I'm not a little kid, so you don't have to worry. Once I'm done eating desserts, the principal will send me back home safely!"
The corners of Yun Shishi's lips twitched as she fell silent.
The seven-year-old child had actually told her that he was not a little kid!
It sounded queer to her no matter what.
"That's enough. Don't be smart-mouthed with me. Be sure to come back early if you don't want me to worry. Don't be playful and remember your manners while you're outside."
"I got it! Don't worry, mommy."
