"Gurgle... Gurgle..."
Mengmeng almost instinctively swallowed, her little eyebrows all furrowed from the acidity of the vinegar. It wasn't until she finished a small cup of vinegar that Gu Zhihan stopped.
"So nasty!" Tears were nearly falling from Mengmeng's eyes as her small hand touched the remnants of vinegar at the corner of her mouth.
"That's what you get for doing this to yourself!" Gu Zhihan was both distressed and exasperated, with a taut little face, he couldn't help but scold her, "You're so foolish, even eating fish leads to you getting bones stuck!"
Despite Gu Zhihan's fierce words, his hands carefully picked up the chopsticks and meticulously deboned the fish for the little girl, making sure it was spotless of bones after a second check before placing it in her bowl.
Don't get it wrong, he was just feeling guilty for indirectly causing her trouble by buying her the fish. So now, he was simply trying to make amends.
