Shuxin took in the child's expression and looked up at Mu Ning Jing. "Ning Ning, pour him a bowl of chicken soup."
Mu Ning Jing didn't know who the little boy was, but she could feel the loneliness from the little boy. It was just like when she was a child, when she had no friends and was ostracized. The little boy didn't say anything, but Mu Ning Jing had an inexplicable feeling. She hurriedly poured a bowl of chicken soup for the little boy.
Hao Hao dodged his small body and didn't take it. His small head kept shaking.
"Auntie can't finish it. It's a waste of food if it's spilled. Can you help Auntie drink some?" Shuxin tilted her head and looked at Hao Hao pleadingly.
Hao Hao pursed his lips and looked at the chicken soup in Mu Ning Jing's hand, then at Shuxin. His two little eyebrows were knitted together, as if he was making a difficult choice. After a moment, he nodded. "Then I'll help Auntie drink a bowl."
"Okay." Shuxin smiled. "Good boy. Auntie thanks you."
Mu Ning Jing was afraid that he would be scalded, so she fed him mouthful by mouthful. After he finished drinking, she didn't know if it was because the chicken soup was hot or because the little boy was shy, but his little face was red and he looked much better than before.
Shuxin saw that the little boy was a little embarrassed, so she took the initiative to chat with him. "Hao Hao, how old are you?"
The little boy answered obediently, "Seven years old."
Shuxin's eyes flashed with surprise. She thought that Hao Hao was only four or five years old. He looked thin and not tall at all. She couldn't tell that he was a seven-year-old child at all. "Are you in the first grade?"
"No."
Shuxin blinked. "Are you already in the second grade?"
Hao Hao looked at Shuxin timidly, as if hesitating whether to tell the truth.
Shuxin touched his head. "You don't have to say it if you don't want to."
Hao Hao's little face was full of loneliness. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I didn't study. I've never studied before."
Shuxin was even more surprised and blurted out, "Why?"
Hao Hao clenched his fists so tightly that they turned white. He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. When he raised his head to look at Shuxin, his eyes were red and filled with tears. "Auntie, I'm sorry."
Shuxin was a little confused. "Why are you apologizing?"
"Hao Hao fainted at the water park because of himself …"
"Hao Hao …" The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Hao Hao's mother appeared at the door. She glanced at Shuxin's pale face and felt a little guilty. She avoided her gaze and quickly walked to Hao Hao's side. She took his hand and said, "Come, let's go home."
Hao Hao stood there without moving. He raised his little head and looked at the woman. "Mom, can we not lie?"
The woman quickly glanced at Shuxin with a guilty conscience in her eyes. When she looked at Xiang Hao again, she said with a straight face, "Let's go back."
"Mommy …" Hao Hao dragged out his last word like a spoiled child.
The woman's eyes were a little red. "Are you not going to listen to me anymore?"
Hao Hao knew that his mother would definitely cry if he continued talking, and the last thing he wanted to see was his mother crying. He said obediently, "Hao Hao will be good."
The woman held Hao Hao's hand and walked towards the door of the ward. Hao Hao kept looking back at Shuxin with an apologetic look in his eyes.
The woman stopped when she reached the door, but she didn't turn around. "Thank you, Mrs. Huo, for risking your own safety to save my son. I will be your slave in my next life to repay your kindness."
Shuxin watched the mother and son's thin figures disappear at the door. She thought about how Hao Hao said that he fainted because of himself. This was obviously a trap. She didn't know what to feel.
