"Hey, ice cream~" Dongdong's gloomy face instantly cleared up, and she smiled happily.
She took the ice cream and grabbed Su Mo, making him sit beside her to enjoy the cold sweetness together.
As they ate, Dongdong turned her face aside: "Boss."
Su Mo: "Hmm?"
Dongdong remained silent for a long time and then said softly, "I'm sorry."
"I was too arrogant before. My skills couldn't keep up with yours, and I held you back."
"I will try to become stronger. Today's incident won't happen again, I promise you."
Acknowledging one's shame to gain courage, knowing one's weakness to strive for strength, Su Mo smiled knowingly.
He pulled Dongdong's little head towards him, letting her lean on his shoulder: "Silly child..."
The evening breeze was gentle, the shadows of the trees flickered, and the two leaned against each other as time seemed to freeze.
...
Returning to Edge Mansion, Su Mo received a call from Sikinkov.
