"Oh... so Aunt Xiao Shao likes to play a lot?" The little boy looked at Zhu Qianying with skepticism.
Zhu Qianying persisted in her cover story, apologizing silently to her friend in her heart, "Yes, didn't you know? Your Aunt Xiao Shao is more playful than Mommy!"
The little boy touched her face, "No, Mommy doesn't play for fun! Mommy is brave..."
It seemed that Zhu Qianying's activities had inadvertently instilled this idea in the boy - that the adventurous activities his mother participated in were not merely for fun, but a conquest.
Conquering difficulties and possibilities that seemed impossible.
"Hmm, you were very brave too..."
Zhu Qianying tried to coax the little boy into recounting the incident and giving a healthy outlet for his deep fear and shock.
Initially agreeing to chat with her, the boy dropped his gaze and started reading his fairy tale book again after hearing her words.
His obvious avoidance dissuaded Zhu Qianying from probing any further.
