"Dr. Du!"
Shitou heard this, and his previously unsettled heart seemed to calm down all of a sudden.
Before, he didn't know why Grandma insisted on looking for Dr. Du. But now he understood. Grandma was gone, and Dr. Du was like a kind elder.
"Dr. Du."
Shitou threw himself into Du Chang's arms, and his crying, which had just stopped, burst out again like a dam breaking.
Du Chang was already squatting on the ground, and got knocked over instantly by Shitou.
Xu Nian'an reacted quickly, stepped forward, and caught Du Chang.
...
After being washed clean, Shitou changed into Ling Dong's clothes, which made him look even smaller—like a child sneaking into adult clothes. His hair was clean, his face freshly wiped, and his young, innocent face was revealed.
Shitou enjoyed a comfortable bath, his mood settling down. Thinking about how he'd just cried embarrassingly in the street, he hung his head low, a blush spreading across his cheeks, all the way to his ears.
