Xingxing's colleagues all knew Ake. They found Xingxing's silly younger brother quite charming. He was simple and naive, and he even had trouble speaking clearly. Like a well-behaved child, he wouldn't get mad when others teased him; he would just laugh foolishly. Sometimes he would even pick flowers to please pretty young girls, so nobody minded him lingering in front of the bakery all day. Instead, when they weren't busy, they often went out to play with him, giving him something to eat or drink, and he would always say thank you politely.
Privately, the girls at the bakery would discuss with Xingxing how great it would be if Ake weren't simple-minded. He was so good-looking, if he weren't simple-minded, he would definitely be very appealing to people.
When this topic came up, Xingxing would just smile without saying a word because she knew that if Ake were not simple-minded, he would be a god.
