A flicker of light sparked in Su Li's eyes, only to dim once more. "Mom, you don't need to console me," he murmured.
Gu Zi touched the tip of his nose with her finger, offering no further words of comfort. After entering the house, she dialed Guan Xin's number.
Guan Xin had previously promised her one wish in exchange for an exclusive report on the opening of Sister Hua's Gourmet Shop's new branch. At the time, Gu Zi hadn't paid much attention, jokingly saying she would seek her help when she thought of something. Now, as the call connected, Gu Zi was straightforward and said, "I've thought of a request."
The following morning, during the morning exercises, Su Li stood in his place, performing the movements listlessly, like a puppet. Gao Ming, standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch, hoping that Su Li would cheer up soon.
