There was a window beside the closet. Zheng Tan looked outside and saw Jiao Yuan running around with a few boys his age. He then looked again at the room. The contrast couldn't be starker.
Girls were so much quieter than boys, at least the girls in this room were.
As for the only boy inside the room, he was a baby so Zheng Tan ignored him.
Not after long, an old lady, probably his grandmother, came and took him outside. Zheng Tan stayed atop the closet even though his main tormentor was gone. Time couldn't pass by fast enough for him.
Youzi didn't have to worry about Zheng Tan anymore now that he was out of reach, so she started watching cartoons with the girls. Zheng Tan wasn't interested in the show so he napped on top of the closet.
As tradition dictated, tenth birthday parties were made up of a lunch and a dinner.
