Children speak without thinking, but they don't mean any harm. Qiqi smiled and waved her hand.
But I felt a little worried for Zhouzhou.
She recalled that when she was a child, after her parents divorced, no one would pick her up from school, and her classmates called her "the unwanted wild child".
