Becoming Tough

After Qian'e found out that Qiao Mei had returned, she visited once and never went around again. Recently, Qiao Mei had asked her for help to choose a piano. As she was in a rare good mood today, she came to Qiao Mei's place after class.

"Your courtyard house is so big. Why don't you just give me a room here so that I won't have to be so tired going back and forth!" Qian'e said as she pointed at one of Qiao Mei's side rooms.

"Sure! You can stay here if you want. I'm more than happy for you to stay at our house!" Qiao Mei said with a laugh.

Qian'e gave Qiao Mei a disdainful look and said to Xia He, "How do you put up with her? Also, I hear that you get bullied. Why is it that you're so forceful when you get bullied by me, but you chicken out when others bully you?"

"How would I dare to discipline her? It's not like you don't know her temper. Just come and stay here. Use that room!" Xia He said as she pointed to the room next to her own.
