"..." Jie Jingchen.
"..." Mr. Xie.
"..." Mrs. Xie.
The three of them wore varying expressions of bewilderment and shock.
They had told her to be bold, and she had truly been audacious.
"Qin Mei," Jie Jingchen said, a headache coming on. Asking for a car was far greedier than simply asking for money.
"Um… Xiao Mei, I still have a bicycle ration coupon. I'll go buy you a bicycle tomorrow," Mrs. Xie said. She, too, felt that Qin Mei asking for a car was unrealistic.
Qin Mei looked completely innocent. It was Mrs. Xie who had told her to be bold and say what she wanted. She had, and now they thought she was being fanciful. "Mom, I don't know how to ride a bicycle."
"That's alright, Jing Si can teach you," Mrs. Xie said with a smile. She glanced at Jie Jingchen, then added, "But you'll have to wait until he's fully recovered before he can teach you."
Qin Mei gave a small smile and lowered her gaze, staring at the tips of her shoes.
