Yunpu once said that this little guy was very intelligent, but in Haoze's opinion, being so sensible was more than just being intelligent.
Haoze did not agree with Jia Lan's statement, but... in the end, he couldn't bear to see her with tears in her eyes.
"Your injury is a bit troublesome. If it's delayed any longer, it might cause future problems," Haoze said, unable to blame Jia Lan, but also unwilling to say that Xiao Ming was wrong to protect his master, so he gave a vague answer.
