After teaching him several times, he still didn’t know to dip his food before eating, and An Ruo felt a bit deflated.
Never mind, I can teach him slowly in the future. He will learn eventually.
After they ate, she wiped his hands and carried him to the mall to buy toys.
In her eyes, Kangkang was a normal child, so she wanted him to choose the toys he liked himself.
In the children’s toy section of the mall, there were all kinds of toys, with many kids holding their parents’ hands, excitedly picking this and that.
An Ruo also hoped that Kangkang would do the same, pulling her hand and picking on his own.
"Madam, are you here to buy toys for your child?"
She walked into a store, and the clerk asked her politely. It wasn’t surprising for the clerk to assume they were mother and son, given the resemblance between them.
"Yes, what fun toys do you have here?" An Ruo put down Kangkang but kept hold of his hand, deliberately letting him choose on his own.
"These are all new arrivals: Transformers, RC cars, RC planes, RC trains..." the clerk rattled off a list as if reciting treasures.
An Ruo just nodded, picking out slowly.
"Do you have samples of all these? Could you bring them all out? I’d like my child to pick one himself."
All the samples were laid out on the floor, and An Ruo squatted down to say to the little guy, "Kangkang, look at all these toys. Why don’t you pick one you like?"
Staring at the toys on the ground, Kangkang looked on blankly, making no move.
The clerk brought over some cute cartoon toys, "Madam, I guess your child is too young to like these complex toys, perhaps he’d prefer these."
With that, she pushed a bunch of colorful dolls in front of Kangkang.
A hip-hop monkey plushie caught his attention, and he squatted down to tug on the monkey’s tail, sitting on his bottom on the ground, he started playing.
Seeing him choose only a monkey, An Ruo felt a bit amused and asked the clerk, a bit embarrassedly, "Do you have any other plush toys?"
"Yes, we do." The clerk brought out all the plush toys, among which a Winnie Bear over a meter tall once again caught Kangkang’s attention.
He let go of the monkey, got up, opened his arms to hug the Winnie Bear, and even looked up with his little head, bewildered by this strange creature much taller than himself.
His action delighted An Ruo, "I didn’t expect him to one."
A scene suddenly flashed through her mind.
When she was pregnant, Tang Yuchen had once dressed up as Winnie Bear to surprise her, maybe she could dress up as Winnie Bear too...
After buying only one bear, An Ruo carried him back to the hospital.
She shared her idea with Doctor Wen, who after hearing it, agreed with her and said it would definitely help treat Kangkang’s condition better.
An Ruo thought so too.
If Kangkang liked toys, she would dress up as a toy and play with him. If he didn’t communicate with people, he would surely communicate with toys.
But today was too late, and the props were not ready, so it would have to wait until tomorrow.
When An Ruo got home, Tang Yuchen was also there.
There was no need to ask, he knew she had been to the hospital. They had just landed from their flight that morning, and she couldn’t wait to go to the hospital, which showed how important the child was to her.
"You’re back." The man greeted her indifferently, his gaze returning to the TV, deliberately showing his annoyance.
"Tang Yuchen, I want to ask you something."
