Even though Su Shen was feeling rather uneasy, there was no escaping Gu Zi's question. He braced himself and replied, "Yes."
Gu Zi's lips curled into a knowing smile. "You broke four of my flower pots today. And not just any pots—my carefully selected, custom-made ones. Yes, you bought replacements, but a little punishment is still in order. Tonight, you'll be sleeping in Su Li's room."
Su Shen felt his heart drop—again. With a wooden expression, he nodded in resignation.
Meanwhile, Su Li was positively thrilled. He barely stopped himself from shouting, "Mommy is amazing!" over the triumph.
The next few days, he threw himself into earning as many red flower stickers as possible. No one had to remind him about training anymore—he tied on his sandbags and got to work before anyone could say a word.
