'Fei-ge and Yao-ge sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!', was what was going on in Rui Li's brain as she stood there with an absent expression. If it weren't for Rui Fei turning around and calling out to her I am afraid she would have remained rooted on the spot like a ginkgo tree.
"Li-er! What are you doing? Come sit down," said Rui Fei successfully pulling his younger sister back to earth.
"Huh?" she responded with a dreamy expression that had Rui Fei suspicious. Nothing apart from romance novels excited this little girl. Other kids were into handbell rattles, dolls, bamboo copters or kites among other things but Rui Li was a special case.
In the past two years, she had developed an obsession with romantic novels and nothing else. Maybe it was her way of numbing the pain from her past experience in the cold dungeon with little to no sunlight.
