The child probably didn't expect his grandma to hit him, and even though it didn't hurt much, he couldn't bear it. Clutching his little hand, he burst into tears with a loud wail.
The recently asleep Pangpang got frightened by the cry and also started wailing along.
Shen Yunfang's heart ached terribly, and she quickly sat down, picked up Pangpang, and soothed him, "Pangpang, don't be afraid, mommy is here, we're not scared, no more crying, no more crying, mommy will pat you." She comforted him in a soft voice by his ear, gently patting the child's little bottom over and over.
It took quite a while for Pangpang to stop crying with tears streaming down his face, hiccuping and looking up at his mother with pitiful little eyes, uttering two soft cries.
