Lan Yamei's heartfelt words made Ling'er blush, and she lowered her head. But she had nothing; though she was about the same age as the person before her, how could she possess such extraordinary abilities? The words of concern, though simple, felt strangely uncomfortable to Ling'er because of their directness.
Lan Yamei noticed this and quickly asked, "Ling'er, what are you good at?"

"Okay, we'll go get it for you. Stay home and don't show your face for now, understand?"
After this incident, Ling'er matured considerably and nodded quickly.
