The scars of his childhood

"Really such a long time!" Nana exclaimed.

Xiaosi said, "Indeed. Are you the same goody two shoes Nana I knew or did you toughen up a bit?"

She fumed and glared at him. "We are meeting after so long and this is how you talk to me? That goody two shoe is taunting!"

She put her hands on her waist indignantly.

Xiaosi smiled. "I see motherhood has changed you a lot. You never used to argue back in the time."

Caihong rapidly blinked her eyes and stared at Xiaosi, feeling a little stunned. He could actually talk so nicely to someone. Ever since the picnic, there were subtle changes to their relationship that were unknowingly taking root between them. Neither Caihong talked too hatefully to him nor Xiaosi spoke any more rudely. If they met, they would just act neutral.
