"Xiangyang is very popular with little girls. The little girl I just mentioned is Xiao Fengxian, the daughter of the head of the military training department. There's also Qiu Simeng from Qiu Chunfang's family, and Jiajia from the Li family. They all love to follow this kid around."
Zhou Qiqi teased.
