The Man and the Turtle

Contributing to the birth of seven or eight children was quite a challenge for Zhao Manyan. However, getting seven or eight wives would be a simple task.

"Tell me about yourself. What have you been doing in the last few years?" said Bai Miaoying. 

"I'll pick the most exciting stories to tell you!"

"I don't want to learn about your promiscuous life!" Bai Miaoying said gruffly. 

"No! I am talking about heroic stories about saving people and maintaining peace in the world!" said Zhao Manyan. 

"Are you sure you did all that?" Bai Miaoying raised one of her eyebrows and looked at him skeptically. 

...

They sat there and chatted for a very long time. Zhao Manyan noticed Bai Miaoying was so tired that she squinted her eyes while talking. Even so, she, like a child, refused to go to bed. She insisted on waiting for him to finish his story.

Zhao Manyan helped her into the house and handed her over to the nurse.
