"Uncle, why are you acting so strange today?" Xixi tilted her little head, her big eyes blinking curiously. "What can't I tell Beibei and Daddy? What should I keep from them?"
There was a haze of confusion in Xixi's big eyes. She puffed out her cheeks and pinched herself hard.
Ouch! That rules out the possibility of her dreaming. This is not her problem. She is not dreaming.
Beibei had told her that when she couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams, she should pinch herself hard. If it hurts, then she's in reality. If she is dreaming, the pain would wake her up.
"Uncle, did you just wake up? Pinch yourself and see if it hurts. You're acting so strange! Why are you always saying weird things to me?" Xixi approached Gu Yuying, noticing his bizarre expression, and reached her little hand to pinch his face hard.
To say she pinched him was putting it mildly. Xixi actually twisted a chunk of flesh on Gu Yuying's face, turning it a full 360 degrees.
