Night had fallen. The little village by the sea quieted down.
After dinner, Sister Chen pulled Chen Dong outside the house and interrogated him, "What happened today? Xiao Yu has been quiet since she came back with you. You didn't say something to upset her, did you?"
Listening to his sister's words, Chen Dong's face showed his displeasure as he plunked down onto the sandy ground.
"What's wrong?" Sister Chen gently kicked Chen Dong, who was sitting on the ground, and asked again.
Chen Dong finally spoke up, "I said I liked her, and then she became like this."
"You like her?!" Sister Chen couldn't help raising her voice in surprise. Her brother's words were truly unexpected. "How old are you? Do you even know what liking someone means?" Sister Chen sarcastically remarked without holding back.
"I'm nineteen already!" Chen Dong raised his voice as well.
