The military wives were all stunned.
Especially seeing Lu Siyuan's face after being pinched, it seemed to confirm the statement about his violent tendencies and destructive power. The key point is that Liu Shengrui is only one and a half years old and his strength is limited. If he were a few years older...
They dared not even think about it; the military wives were all worried about their own children.
“Then,” a military wife pulled her daughter aside and asked in a low voice, “Crescent Moon, is Youyou’s son really Chaoxiong?”
Su Yueya certainly wouldn't give anyone cause for gossip.
Moreover, her purpose was simply to remind everyone to be vigilant and take precautions so that they wouldn't fall victim to Liu Shengrui's evil deeds again. So, whether "it is true" or not isn't that important. What's important is that if the seeds of doubt are sown, people who truly love their children will pay more attention.
That's enough.
“I really don’t know. You have to go to the hospital and have a special test to find out. I haven’t examined her, so I don’t know,” Su Yueya said.
"Huh? So is her son really him? This 'super-strong' name sounds terrifying!"
"Yeah, I think it's pretty much true. It matches what Crescent Moon just said. What if it really is?"
"Whether it is or not, we have to be careful. We must never let our children play with him again. It's too dangerous!"
"Yes, yes, it's safest not to play together. There are so many kids in the yard, it's not like we have to play with hers. Besides, Mo Youyou isn't an easy person to get along with..."
Hearing everyone say that, Su Yueya felt relieved.
But she wouldn't get too involved in the topic. Mo Youyou was already looking for a way to find fault with her and get revenge on Chao Xiong, so she had to be careful.
It's not foolish to hand over leverage to someone else.
"Aunties, you can chat all you want. I'm taking Xiaoyuan and An'an home now. Xiaoyuan needs some medicine on his face." With that, Su Yueya picked up her son and took her daughter's hand, heading home.
"Crescent Moon, slow down! Don't be impatient!" the military wives said.
Even after everyone left, they were still discussing what had happened that day.
One minute they're saying Mo Youyou's son is really scary, discussing whether Liu Shengrui is actually Chaoxiong, and that everyone should stay away from him; the next minute they're saying Su Yueya is really unlucky, taking her child out to play, and out of nowhere, she runs into this kind of thing!
Seeing Lu Siyuan's swollen face made any mother feel bad.
Back home, Su Yueya quickly applied medicine to Lu Siyuan's face.
Her once rosy cheeks were now swollen, and the flesh that had been pinched was red and purple, looking quite ferocious.
"Mirror," Lu Siyuan said in a childish voice, taking his short little legs to look in the mirror.
The reason he cried at that time was twofold: firstly, it really hurt, and secondly, Lu Siyuan was genuinely worried that he would lose a piece of his flesh and become an ugly monster.
But the flesh hadn't fallen off yet. Fortunately, his mother came quickly to protect him, but the burning and painful cheeks still made Lu Siyuan feel uneasy.
Lu Siyuan ran to the mirror and looked at himself—
"Wow--"
The sky has fallen!
As a one-year-old child, Lu Siyuan couldn't remain calm when he saw his bruised face in the mirror, with the area where he had been pinched swollen. He immediately burst into tears.
"Waaaaah..."
"Waaah..."
She cried so hard it was heartbreaking, like her liver and intestines were being torn apart.
Su Yueya had gone to find the medicine she needed and hadn't been watching the child for a moment when she heard Lu Siyuan start crying again. She quickly grabbed the ointment and rushed out.
"Xiao Yuan, what's wrong?" Su Yueya squatted down, her eyes level with Lu Siyuan's, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Why are you crying again? Does it hurt a lot?"
Su Yueya was heartbroken. Her son, whose face was covered in bruises, was crying uncontrollably; he was such a pitiful little thing.
She felt her heart being torn apart.
She wished she was the one who had been pinched earlier. Why was she so unlucky to let Xiao Yuan be bullied by Chao Xiong?
“Ugly,” Lu Siyuan cried, pointing at her brightly colored face in the mirror, “So ugly! Waaah…”
The little one was completely devastated.
Su Yueya: "..."
So that's how it is. She was both amused and exasperated, but her strongest emotion was heartache.
"Don't cry, Xiaoyuan. Although your face is swollen and doesn't look good, you have to believe in Mommy. Mommy is a doctor. After we apply the medicine, in a few days, our Xiaoyuan will be as pretty as before, okay?" Su Yueya coaxed the child patiently and gently.
"Really?" Lu Siyuan asked, hiccuping, wiping away his tears pitifully, not daring to touch the swollen part.
"Of course it's true! When has Mom ever lied to Xiaoyuan?" Su Yueya wouldn't let Lu Siyuan touch his eyes. She had just come back from outside and hadn't washed her hands yet. She turned to Lu Si'an and ordered, "An'an, can you go get some tissues for your brother to wipe his tears?"
"Okay!" Lu Si'an immediately agreed and ran off.
"Xiaoyuan, Mommy is going to put the medicine on you now. Don't cry, otherwise your tears will wash over the ointment and make you itchy. But you can't scratch, okay?"
Lu Siyuan pouted and nodded seriously.
Actually, he's not so sad now, because his mother just said he won't become an ugly monster.
That's alright then.
It's just a little painful, but he's a man, he can bear it!
“Okay,” Lu Siyuan said.
Su Yueya tried her best to be gentle, even gentler, until she finished applying the ointment to Lu Siyuan. Looking at his face like that, she felt as if she were seeing the injured Lu Zhengjun.
Su Yueya: "..."
The feeling of heartache was instantly amplified.
Lu Siyuan's face was just swollen, and she was already so upset. She couldn't even imagine what Lu Zhengjun was going through at that moment.
Was he injured?
In that situation, if he gets injured, is there anyone to treat him?
When will Lu Zhengjun be able to come back? Will he be able to come back fully recovered?
"Mommy, don't cry." Seeing that Su Yueya's eyes were red again, Lu Siyuan immediately cupped her face to comfort her. Then, remembering that his mother had just said his hands were dirty, he quickly wiped his hands on his new clothes and gently touched Su Yueya's face. "Don't cry, don't cry!"
"Mmm." Su Yueya nodded, her voice choked with emotion.
After washing the children's hands and changing their clothes, the family of three sat down on the sofa to rest.
Lu Siyuan sat between his mother and sister.
Normally, Lu Si'an would always be on either side of her brother, sitting next to their mother, but today her brother was injured, and she wanted to spend more time with him.
"Brother, does it hurt?" Lu Si'an asked, staring at Lu Siyuan's face where the ointment had been applied.
The image of Liu Shengrui pinching her brother's face was etched into her mind; the thought of it filled her with fear and anger.
"You bad guy, you big bad guy!" Lu Si'an cursed Liu Shengrui.
"It doesn't hurt anymore," Lu Siyuan said, taking his sister's hand to tell her not to be angry, and adding, "An'an, don't play with him anymore."
