Nuonuo watched her baby brother walk into the house, and only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.
The words of apology that the little master said to Beibei, she heard every single one, and because of this, she felt a deep discomfort in her heart.
"Mom..." Beibei, sitting on the grass, tugged at her arm.
Nuonuo hugged him and gave him a kiss. The little guy, with tears in his eyes, continued to complain about his little uncle, "Uncle... bad..."
Nuonuo rubbed the little guy's cheek, "Beibei, your little uncle has been very unhappy these past two days. Be a little nicer to him, okay?"
Beibei, not quite understanding, looked at his mommy with watery eyes. Nuonuo didn't say anything more; after all, how could such a young child understand the frustration and heartache when you treat someone kindly but receive no response?
The little master took out a small, delicately crafted plate of macarons from the range and accepted the black tea handed to him by Aunt Guan.
