"Someone has already gone to buy the medicine. It'll be here in a little while..."
Su Li had just started speaking when, for some reason, Alice suddenly began to cry again.
After she started crying, the faint sobs of other children could be heard as well.
Song Shengfu grew agitated again. "Shut up! Cry again and I'll kill you all!"
The other children seemed to be frightened into silence, but Alice kept crying, her sobs growing louder.
Song Shengfu raised his hand and slapped Alice across the face. Hearing this, an idea sparked in Su Li's mind, and she spoke up.
"She just doesn't understand what we're saying. Why don't I sing her a song to calm her down?"
"Singing?" Song Shengfu was baffled.
"She might not understand our words, but music is a universal language. If I sing, maybe she'll calm down and stop annoying you."
Su Li added, "We have to wait for the medicine anyway, so I'll just give it a try. If it doesn't work, I'll stop immediately."
