"Aunt Shen," Shu Yi giggled, feeling a little embarrassed. If her parents found out, they'd scold her for not caring about herself, but it was different with Shen Lin'an - he'd actually get beaten up.
"Alright, alright, just this once. Next time something like this happens, you should seek help from us."
