It was actually a toy gun.
It was very similar to a real gun, with a metallic case and bore some weight.
Xia Ling did not expect Li Lei to give this to the child. In her impression, this wasn't a toy that a pure and naive child should own or play with. Maybe this wasn't a big deal for the black triads, but there was no way she would want Shaohui to have anything to do with a cold, ruthless tool like this.
Shaohui fiddled with the toy out of curiosity.
Xia Ling slapped his hand away. "Don't touch it."
Shaohui had never seen her this fierce and looked up at her with a look of innocence and confusion. Xia Ling sighed and toned down. "This toy isn't fun to play with. I'll get you something else, alright?"
Shaohui hesitated for a while as he looked at the toy gun longingly.
