"Grandma taught me. I learned it after just two tries." Little Douzi looked at Lin Lan, his face practically begging for praise.
Seeing Lin Lan turn her head away, he thought he'd done something wrong. He anxiously walked over and tugged on her hand. "Mommy, I'll be good. I'll listen to you."
"Mommy knows Little Douzi is such a good, obedient boy!"
Lin Lan spoke gently as she bent down to kiss him, then scooped him up in her arms. "Sweetheart, Mommy loves you. Mommy will never, ever leave you."
Little Douzi threw his arms around her neck, buried his face in her shoulder, and let out a "WAAAH," bursting into sorrowful tears.
Lin Lan gently patted his back. "Shh, shh. Don't cry. Mommy loves Little Douzi more than anyone. My Little Douzi is the best boy in the world."
