Little Skinny Pole's Drama

"It's them!" Zhouzhou accused, "They kicked Little Skinny Pole and even pulled his hair!"

With a subtle wink towards Huo Ji'an, Zhouzhou made her point clear.

Huo Ji'an instantly caught on. With a dramatic groan, he collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach. "Oh, it hurts so much, Dad. Am I dying?"

His voice trembled weakly, as fragile as a strand of silk.

Hearing this, Yu Ze's expression darkened. Though aware of the child's theatrics, the mention of the word "death" still unsettled him. He carefully lifted Huo Ji'an and gently patted his back.

Seeing Huo Ji'an seemingly distressed, Zhouzhou whispered softly in his ear, "Dad, I'm just pretending."

He was setting the stage for a scam!

With that said, he immediately resumed his exaggerated cries of pain.

Zhouzhou stood nearby, watching him with concern but refrained from joining in the act.
