Manman lay in Xiaoba's nest, pecking at her own feathers.
Zi Qi finished the last official business and looked at Manman. This girl wasn't like Xiaoqi, who was full of cunning; she was straightforward, saying whatever came to mind.
Sometimes she would even blurt out a thing or two about the weather, accurate or not...
"Manman, it looks like the hair on your head has grown out a bit."
"Oh?" Manman looked up, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't see it for herself.
Zi Qi chuckled and tossed her a mirror, "Here, your dad, on the other hand, never worries about you."
"My grandmother said... that it's a treasure when Manman is ugly, because then thieves won't covet her." Manman imitated the tone of Madam Ming and Ming Linyuan when they spoke.
Zi Qi laughed, "Your dad said the same thing before; it turns out it came from your grandmother."
Suddenly, Manman had a premonition and lifted her head.
