Yuan You said innocently, "I didn't mean to. I just happened to glance over."
Hexin put a hand to her forehead in frustration.
The interlude immediately cheered up Yaoyao, who had been in low spirits. She put an arm around the blushing Baoyu's shoulder and comforted her, "Some people grow slower than others, so don't worry too much about it. You're flat now because you're still growing, but in another two years, things will be different." Her eyes flitted over to Yuan You's "steamed dumplings", and she paused before adding, "Maybe at that time, Youyou will still be stuck at the 'steamed dumplings' stage, whereas yours will have grown into tall peaks."
Her stream of words made Baoyu's head spin, but she finally understood what she meant.
The corners of her mouth twitched. "Your Highness, I'm still a child."
