Ye Fei looked at her son's exquisite and beautiful, yet surprisingly thick-skinned face.
Believed him.
"It's probably because Wang Zishuai likes Zhang Xintian from our class, but Zhang Xintian likes me, so he got jealous and started saying those things to me," Ye Xiaomo said proudly.
"..." Ye Fei was silent.
Kids these days are already playing out love-hate dramas?
"Whether it's about you or about me, it's not okay. You know I'm good, and I know you're good, and we shouldn't be casually despised by others," Ye Fei said. "I know you did it for me this time, but you can't do this from now on."
"No matter what, fighting is wrong, and you're so little, fighting with a kid who's a year older than you is a losing battle. What if you cause irreparable harm because you didn't know your own strength?"
"You can find a teacher or come back and tell me. I'll seek justice, I'll ask how the teachers are teaching, how the parents are educating. But Xiao Mo, you can't take matters into your own hands, or put yourself in danger, understand?"
Ye Xiaomo nodded obediently, "I remember."
When they arrived at the hospital, Ye Fei quickly registered Ye Xiaomo and took him to see a surgeon.
Fortunately, it was just a surface wound, and the doctor prescribed an ointment to apply, which would be fine.

Xiao Ruofeng knocked and rushed in, "Mr. Shen, I just sent that family's wontons for testing."
"Why? Is there something wrong?" Zhao Gushen immediately asked.
"Right after you left, Ye Xiaomo's mom came to pick him up, and she tasted a bit of the wonton soup. She said that the soup contained poppy powder. As for the wonton filling, she's not sure because the wontons had already soaked in the soup and might have absorbed its flavor."
"She spoke with such certainty, so I sent the wontons for testing, and we'll have results soon," Xiao Ruofeng explained.
Zhao Gushen nodded and, seeing that Xiao Ruofeng wasn't leaving, raised his eyebrows, "Anything else?"
"No, but Mr. Shen, I didn't expect Ye Xiaomo's mom to be so young; she looks about 23 or 24. She's really beautiful—"
Zhao Gushen said disdainfully, "You've been single for too long if you're even eyeing kids' moms now. Go find yourself a girlfriend."
Xiao Ruofeng's face turned green.
Did Zhao Gushen forget that he's also single, to the point of driving his grandma crazy from worry?
Besides, if he weren't working tirelessly by Zhao Gushen's side all the time, would he still be single now?
Xiao Ruofeng didn't want to deal with such an oblivious boss.

Ye Fei and Ye Xiaomo got home, and while changing shoes, Ye Fei asked him, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Since Ye Xiaomo had faced some grievances today, Ye Fei wanted to find a way to cheer him up.
And nothing made Ye Xiaomo happier than eating.
Sure enough, little foodie Ye Xiaomo excitedly said, "I want to eat cola chicken wings!"
Ye Fei thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "Actually, I've almost uploaded all my video stock; I need to record new ones. I haven't recorded a recipe for cola chicken wings yet. I'll record it this time."
Ye Fei changed both their shoes and said, "Will you help me record it?"
"Leave it to me!" Ye Xiaomo puffed out his chest and said proudly.
Ye Fei then went to help him change clothes.
Ye Xiaomo had long been able to change his own clothes, but since he was injured today, Ye Fei was worried he might accidentally hurt himself by moving carelessly.
Once they changed clothes, Ye Fei took out chicken wings from the fridge and put them in the microwave to defrost.
