Ma Jiaojiao's "jiao" is the same as the "jiao" in "spoiled and arrogant"—although not the same character, they have the same meaning. Sensing her senior's affection, she immediately changed her tone: "Is the scarf I made really that bad? Why don't you wear it?"
"Yeah, it's pretty bad."
Zhao Xun, with his hands in his pockets, said coldly, "This is probably your level for Lao Bei's first attempt at weaving."
Ma Jiaojiao: "...Uh, uh-uh."
It caused real damage.
Although she was spoiled and arrogant, she was still a little sad when she was rejected.
"And you two are choosing colors in the same way."
Zhao Xun said, "Didn't you notice that Ji Qingqian wasn't wearing the scarf that Lao Bei made either?"

The "jiao" in Ma Jiaojiao's name is the same as the "cun" in "decunjinchi" (to take an inch and then a mile). Although they are not the same character, they have the same meaning.
"I remember there's a New Year's Eve event at the lakeside, right?"
"It's too far, I'm too lazy to go."
"It's not far at all!"
"Let me rest for a bit... Go and buy me a bottle of water."
"Go back as soon as you get back?"
"It depends on what kind of water you buy. If it's Yibao, I'll go; if it's the farmer's wife, I won't go."
