What? "Cast aside the grindstone after killing the donkey"? Where did this child learn this idiom from?
And is what she did even considered as such? True, initially he was the one who suggested she eavesdrop, and she did follow him. But how could he compare himself to the donkey? She didn't let him listen for his own good.
Xia Liyou stuck her tongue out at Xia Ziqian's little retreating figure, then turned to Luo Ai'ai with a serious face, "Alright, you can talk now, right?"
Luo Ai'ai was about to open her mouth when she heard Xia Ziqian's voice from the other side, "Mommy, all the food is served. Do you want to eat?"
Xia Liyou turned her head and saw Xia Ziqian waving his little arm, cupping his hand near his mouth and yelling.
She then remembered that she had ordered food, but there's no way she has time to eat right now. So she just waved a dismissive hand towards Xia Ziqian, indicating that he should just eat by himself.
