Dysfunctional Families

Hearing Xiu mention 'dysfunctional families', Xin Zimen's smile froze as well. From the look of deep amusement to deep sadness, his expressions shifted way too easily. Now, he was looking at Xiu with a different feeling. 

The side of Ah-Si's face was still pressed up against the floor sending a striking pain through his skull because of the way she was shoving his face down. Her hand on his head didn't even let him move an inch. 

"Do you know what it feels like to grow up in dysfunctional families?" Xiu questioned in a way that it indicated that she wasn't actually expecting a reply from him. "You don't. Because you didn't have to live in one."
