So, after giving Zhan Se, who seemed to be smiling but not quite smiling, a quick glance, she pretended to scratch the parrot-like hairstyle on her head, getting even more spirited.
"Little Thirteen, look how cute I am. How about... I become your mother too?"
"No."
"Why not? I'm certain I'll be nicer to you than your mother, play games with you every day, play poker, catch crickets in the mountains..."
"Humph, how nice you are has nothing to do with me. In my heart, I only have one mother. She is the best mother to me."
Ai Lun stuck out her tongue at Zhan Se and gave him a thumbs-up. Then she turned back around, lifted her chin, and, with a face blooming like a flower, she couldn't help but tease Little Thirteen again.

"I don't care for it! Do you think I'm that easy to buy?"
