"Bai Lianhua!" Cermin called out to the girl he saw with blond pigtails.
That was the name of his ex-girlfriend and ex-fiancee. The one who hated his gege the most.
Bai Lianhua was a beautiful girl that everyone had admired, four years younger than Min Cheng. She was like the white lotus, so pure and delicate in appearance.
Min Cheng thought that she was really like that for two years. When she reached 20, the legal age for marriage for women in mainland China, he proposed to her.
But then, she showed her true colors. The lotus was not as white as he thought.
For you see, Bai Lianhua had habit of making jokes about his gege, especially his appearance. She said this right after Min Cheng formally introduced the two:
"Wow, is that relly your skin color? It's like those cocoa beans my family's farmers roasted in the sun!"
At first, Cermin thought it was harmless. She was simply comparing his skin to cocoa beans, which was like comparing white skin with milk.
