"Brother Gu, isn't it good-looking?" Chengcheng raised his chin in pride, "But the other kids usually start crying when they see it."
Gu Ning reached out to ruffle Little Fatty's chubby head. He guessed the child wasn't scared because he grew up watching it. If it were some other kid, they'd be scared to tears.
So, the good kids are those who cry, the fearless ones like Chengcheng, who've been toughened up by his older sister from a young age, are the outliers.
When Gu Ning carried Chengcheng back outside, they saw the other men sitting upright and waiting. Having so many 'uncles' around made Chengcheng excited, and he immediately tried to wriggle free.
Gu Ning put him down; Chengcheng hobbled over with his chunky little legs, brimming with enthusiasm.
"Brother, water."
Chengcheng picked up a cup from the table, and everyone hurried to take it to prevent him from spilling it or worse, getting scalded by hot water.
"Brother, have an apple."
