"If you didn't say my English was poor, why did your brother start speaking Chinese to me the moment he saw me? Before that, he was communicating with you in English."
"Yuxiang spoke Chinese to you out of respect."
"Respect? Am I his older sister? Why should he respect me?"
"So do you want Yuxiang to speak English with you from now on?"
"Yes, but please tell your brother that I must understand every word he says."
"Ayi, it's better you raise this request with Guangyi yourself."
Zong Yi proudly lifted her chin, "I will not!"
"Why not?"
"Because I don't know how to translate that sentence into English. How high can your expectations be for someone who just barely managed to score ninety in elementary school English?"
Zong Guang was somewhat bemused by Zong Yi's antics.
His little sister could be "mature" enough to act as his "emotional mentor," but the next moment, she seemed so childish that she needed several teachers to say a single sentence.
