"If my grandma can't find me, she'll call me," Yu Ziqian wobbled the specially customized phone.
An Ning gave no reply, "..."
"I just wanted to feel what it's like to have a mother for a bit; all the other kids have mothers, mothers who spend weekends with their kids," Yu Ziqian said longingly. "But I don't."
In an instant, An Ning's heart shattered.
She couldn't bear to refuse this child's request. "Okay, let's not go far, just to the ice cream shop near the school."
Yu Ziqian nodded vigorously, tears streaming down as he did. "Okay."
...
The ice cream shop was very close to the school, just a five-minute walk away.
"Qianqian, what would you like to eat?" asked An Ning.
Qianqian casually pointed at the menu. "This, this, this..."
An Ning frowned. "Eating so much will definitely hurt your stomach. You can only have one ice cream, and nothing else."
Qianqian's gaze stayed outside, as if waiting for someone.
"Alright, just one," he agreed cooperatively.
