“No, rarely.” Mei replied in a tone of plainness, slowing her hand, adding,“There’s nothing for them to fi ght.”
“Oh? How strange.” The grandfather was amazed.
“That’s plenty enough, Mei.” The grandmother pleaded as though she were the real one getting hurt.
“Don’t stop me, mother! Time to give them both a good lesson.”
