"I don't even know where she found that toy this morning, she was so into playing with it," said the Ruanlin family matriarch.
"My toy!" Ruan Jiaojiao screamed.
Startled, the jumping toy lost its balance in mid-air and tumbled to the ground with a "bang," followed by the toy plummeting down after it.
"Crash." The already battered handheld game console shattered into pieces, and small circular parts rolled out from within, wobbling until they stopped at Ruan Jiaojiao's feet.
Ruan Jiaojiao stared at the broken game console on the floor with heartfelt dismay, her tiny eyebrows quivering with frustration.
Feeling that her mood was off, and although unsure of what it had done wrong, the pet sheepishly curled its big tail, retreating backward, its ears instinctively pinned back, ready to run.
"Bad dog! I hadn't finished playing with that yet, how could you break it!" Ruan Jiaojiao yelled in anger, rushing over to grab the ears of the pet that was about to pull back.
