While talking, Aunt Yu didn’t forget to signal the child with her eyes to look behind.
The child was only six or seven years old, but he was already at the age where he could understand such eye signals.
Following Aunt Yu’s gaze, he looked back and imdiately saw Mo Shu.
Mo Shu felt a bit displeased inside but quickly turned her head away, pretending not to have seen anything.
Aunt Yu said, "Go and talk to your aunt, the unicorn is raised by her family, and you can ask her not to be so stingy and to let you see the unicorn."
The child, hearing Aunt Yu’s words, quickly ran towards Mo Shu, shouting, "Auntie, Auntie!"
Mo Shu put on a slight smile and asked, "What’s up?"
"I want to see the unicorn, Auntie, don’t be so stingy, okay?"
Other children who had heard Yu Nana’s instructions also gathered around, shouting, "I want to see too, Auntie, let us take a look, please?"
"Auntie, don’t be so stingy!"
"Yeah, my mom said stingy people won’t get anywhere!"
"Yeah yeah, Auntie being so stingy, be careful or you’ll teach the younger ones wrong!"
...
The children spoke one after another, all looking very excited.
Mo Shu, holding the baby in her arms, patiently said, "Auntie’s family indeed has a unicorn."
"Wow!"
"There’s really a unicorn!"
"Auntie, I want to see!"
"Auntie, I want to touch it!"
" too!"
Mo Shu continued, "But, it’s not because Auntie is stingy that I won’t let you see it."
"Then why?" a child asked.
Mo Shu explained, "It’s because the unicorn is shy around strangers. If so many of you go, it will get scared, so Auntie is protecting it. Do you think Auntie is doing the right thing?"
"Doing the right thing!"
"Yeah yeah, Auntie is really nice!"
Mo Shu gave a light smile and said, "The unicorn is ntally around your age, also like a little child. If a crowd ca to see you, you’d be afraid they’d bully you too, right?"
"No, Auntie, we’re very well-behaved!"
"Yeah yeah, we just want to take a peek, please?"
The one talking was a little girl Mo Shu had seen before, nad Yu Yeman.
Mo Shu reached out and patted her head, "Sure thing."
The children imdiately shouted excitedly, "Thank you, Auntie!"
"Auntie is the best!"
"Auntie is aweso!"
The baby in Mo Shu’s arms seed startled by their screams, squirming uneasily and looked like he was about to cry.
Mo Shu quickly gestured for them to be quiet, saying, "Shh, don’t be too loud, you’ll scare the little brother."
The children imdiately quieted down.
Mo Shu lightly patted Little Honey Pot’s bum and said, "Let’s go, Auntie will take you to see the unicorn, but you have to promise you won’t bully the unicorn, okay?"
"Yeah yeah!"
"Okay!"
"Auntie is the best!"
Yet, there was a child who scoffed and said, "What’s this, clearly just being stingy and claiming to be afraid we’d bully. We’re all this small, it’s more like the unicorn would bully us!"
Mo Shu frowned slightly, "The unicorn is very well-behaved."
"Aren’t we well-behaved too?" the child retorted, "Auntie, don’t think we’re easy to fool because we’re young. Granny already said that Auntie likes to deceive people and that’s how our uncle was tricked into marrying you!"
