Su Li was taken aback by how his once-timid little sister had transformed into a bossy little ruler, always picking on him. A flicker of annoyance crossed his mind; why did he seem so dull in comparison? But she was his sister, after all, and his irritation was fleeting. He couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh to her.
He merely lowered his head, munching on his zongzi while mumbling to himself, "Fine, I won't say anything. Everyone around knows you're my sister anyway. I've boasted about having a three-year-old sister who speaks foreign languages…"
Su Le, overhearing her brother's grumbling, huffed defiantly and walked away. A moment later, she returned, her little hand reaching for Su Li's, her voice sweet and innocent. "Second brother, I was just upset because I didn't get any zongzi. I didn't mean it. Please don't be mad at me."
