"Yes! Yao ethnic group."
Yao ethnic group?
Achen was taken aback and asked, "How come you're a Yao? I remember when you filled out your forms at school, didn't you say you were a Shui?"
"My father is a Shui ethnic minority, and my mother is a Yao ethnic minority!"
She Ling said, "I always thought I was a Shui ethnic minority, so I filled it out like that when I was in school.
