"You..." Luoya looked at Cheng Ziang, intending to thank him for his help. But the sight of his gleeful face inexplicably aggravated her, and she frowned and said, "What are you grinning about?"
"Ah, am I not allowed to smile? You rarely visit us." Cheng Ziang retorted defensively, touching his cheek.
"You're laughing at my ugly eye!" Luoya accused, covering one eye.
"You're being paranoid," Cheng Ziang shrugged helplessly.
"Oh, stop it. This place is full of Earth people. No one will laugh at you," Luo'er said, pulling her hand away from her face.
"Luo'er, Luo'er, can I go see our mother?" Tangmo ran up, eagerly asking, followed closely by the normally reserved Baiyue.
"O-our... mother..." Luo'er stammered in surprise, coughing.
"You two, stop right there," Hu Daoke grabbed their collars, raising his voice, "Brother Li explicitly told me, at the very least you can't see Aunt Nina today."
