We laughed and ran all the way into the temple, Lin Xiaoyi almost stumbled at the threshold because of her short legs. When I saw Lin Xiaoyi unsteady, I quickly turned around to steady her.
Once she was stable and realized I had reached her side, she snatched my ear with the swiftness of lightning, gritting her teeth she said, "You dog of a man, let's see where you run off to now!"
Even though Lin Xiaoyi's tugging didn't hurt much, I still pretended to be in great pain and quickly begged for mercy, "Okay, my little ancestor, I was wrong. I won't touch again, is that not enough?"
But Lin Xiaoyi wasn't planning to let me off that easily; she pretended to be fierce, "No sincerity, I can't feel at all that you think you were wrong."
Lin Xiaoyi's slightly childish interrogation made me laugh. I reached out and scooped up Lin Xiaoyi, and with her gasp of surprise, she was already hoisted securely over my shoulder.
