“Little Cherry, are you wearing a watch?” Ruan Jiao Jiao’s delicate attention seemed to focus on the white wrist of Little Cherry.

Little Cherry shook her head. “Mom won’t let me wear any jewelry on the show.”

“Then how did you know it was four o’clock in the afternoon?” she said.

Little Cherry thought about it. “It’s mom who said it.”

Ruan Jiao Jiao smiled and said, “so you don’t know what time it was. So you’re just reciting what your mother told you?”

Little Cherry froze, she shook her head in a panic. “No, I knew it was four o’clock in the afternoon, and what happened was true, not what mom asked me to say.”

Ruan Jiao Jiao asked again, “how did you know what time it was in the afternoon?”

Little Cherry thought about it. “I asked my mother about the time later.”

At this time, the program was live, because the incident of Jiao Jiao and Little Cherry had stirred public attention, so Jiao Jiao invited Little Cherry to visit her home, the production team specially arranged a camera for them.

Although it was not the last edited high-quality program content, it still had a lot of popularity on the website.

When the audience saw this, someone began to say, [you see, it’s actually a child’s nonsense. There’s no need to raise an issue of character. On the contrary, how was the disease of Jiao Jiao suddenly cured?]

[It seems that after the Little Cherry fell into the water, she also had a fever. Maybe she accidentally burned her brain?]

[Little Cherry is so cute, generous, and gentle, and only a woman like Josie can educate such an excellent child!]

[Why do I think Little Cherry is lying? Generally speaking, when people lie, they will subconsciously use the subject ‘I’ more and will describe the scene and time in a particularly clear way.]

[Is there persecution paranoia in the post above? What lies can a child tell? You wouldn’t lie about that, would you? She has no grudge against Ruan Jiao Jiao!]

[That’s our Little Cherry, and she is so cute, how can she lie!]

In the scene, Ruan Jiao Jiao continued to hold the hand of Little Cherry. “Well, it was four o’clock in the afternoon, I remember. Yes, I heard that you fell into the water, and later became sick, are you feeling better now?”

Seeing that Ruan Jiao Jiao no longer continued to ask, Little Cherry immediately felt relieved. Her tone was also obviously more cheerful now. “Just a little cold. I feel much better today after taking medicine.”

Ruan Jiao Jiao nodded. “Next time you should pay attention. You can’t run to the edge of the beach even if you pick up shells. This time you are lucky. Next time you are rolled to a deeper place in the sea, do you know what danger you will encounter?”

The delicate tone of Ruan Jiao Jiao became mysterious.

Little Cherry shook her head in a daze and asked curiously, “what danger?”

Ruan Jiao Jiao’s mouth opened wide. “You will be eaten by sharks, that’s it!” Ow!”

Little Cherry giggled at her.

But then, she suddenly realized a problem. Ruan Jiao Jiao just mentioned she picked up shells and fell into the sea!

This made Little Cherry’s heart instantly feel nervous. Did Ruan Jiao Jiao know that she fell into the water because of picking up shells?

She wanted to ask Ruan Jiao Jiao but did not dare, she was worried that Ruan Jiao Jiao might think of even more things!

However, if she did not ask, she felt panic and fear again.

After careful observation of her delicate expression for a while, Little Cherry did not feel anything unusual from the little waxy yellow and sloppy face.

‘Maybe she subconsciously thought of the scene at that time? She didn’t even realize it?’ Little Cherry comforted herself like this.

Ruan Jiao Jiao suddenly asked, “so you built a castle by the sea and hoped that my doll would visit it. Then I borrowed a spatula from you, but you didn’t lend it to me, so I was angry and pushed you, right?”

Cherry became nervous again, and she tried to think about her mother’s words in her mind. “Well, I wanted to invite your doll to visit the castle, and then you wanted to borrow a spatula from me as if to cook for your doll, but I was cooking, so I didn’t lend it to you.”

Ruan Jiao Jiao was puzzled and asked, “but you didn’t mention that you invited my doll to visit your castle, you just said I came to borrow your spatula, right?”

Little Cherry’s face suddenly became nervous, “re… really?” Maybe I forgot?”

Ruan Jiao Jiao’s eyes flashed a sly light. She was deliberately leading out the flaws of Little Cherry. This was learned from Uncle Jack.

Uncle Jack, dad’s best deputy, once said that when people make up stories, their brains weaken, so they will keep changing topics.

Imagine testing whether the other person lied about event X, you can talk about several things at the same time, and then go back to event X from time to time to look for the other person’s mistakes in event X, and find out if it is still coherent or conflicting.
