In the evening, Yan Ni drove to school to pick up Xiao Bao and bring him home.
If this were the usual day, Xiao Bao would be like a hundred thousand "Whys," always asking countless questions. But today, he seemed a little downcast. Spotting his unusually quiet demeanor, Yan Ni asked, "Xiao Bao, did you not pay attention in class and got scolded by the teacher?"
"No." Xiao Bao shook his head, not uttering a word.
"Then did you get into a fight with your classmates?" Yan Ni asked again.
"No." Xiao Bao shook his head again, still remaining silent.
"Then why are you upset?" Seeing Paris Bei Tian Bakery up ahead, Yan Ni parked the car by the roadside, "Xiao Bao, if you tell aunty what's wrong, I'll buy you your favorite sponge cake pudding, okay?"
Kids will be kids - the promise of a treat immediately boosted his spirits.
"Okay!" Xiao Bao nodded vigorously, then added, "Aunty, buy it for me first, then I'll tell you."
