Zhao Meimei nestled on the sofa watching her Brother Yangyang control his character, mercilessly dealing with Qu Chaozong's character — blue hair, green eyes, two horns on the head — stylish as he put it.
The home phone rang.
Shi Yang was busy playing games, he casually instructed, "Meimei, answer the phone."
Zhao Meimei slid over sideways on the sofa, reaching for the receiver.
"Hello?" Zhao Meimei held the receiver to her ear.
"Hello, Meimei!"
Zhao Meimei's eyes lit up instantly, calling out warmly, "Mom!"
Liu Xiue: "How are you? Feeling better?"
Zhao Meimei cradled the receiver, "Much better, Mom. Is there something you need?"
Just as Zhao Meimei finished speaking, Shi Yang quickly abandoned the game controller, came over and glared at her: "How do you talk to your mom like that? Be careful or you'll get scolded."
Almost simultaneously, her mom's voice echoed in the receiver, scolding her: "You cheeky girl, talking to your mom like that, can't I call without a reason?"
