To Ming Han's words, Ming Wei responded breezily, "Why do I have to wait for a man to marry me? Can't I marry a man and bring him home instead? Or maybe just being by myself isn't fabulous enough?"
The siblings kept bantering back and forth, neither willing to admit defeat, all the way until they got home, still with no clear winner.
"Mom!"
"Hmm?"
"Your precious grown-up daughter just got third place again, I'm so heartbroken!"
"It's okay, having drive is already great. And it's not that you're not good; it's that while you're working hard, the first and second place are also working just as hard. Just try to see it in a positive light."
"First place is my second brother, and second place is Xi Jingyu. Those two seem to have locked up the top two spots forever—they never give anyone else a chance to sit up there."
Kang Li listened to Ming Wei's complaints, laughter all but overflowing in her eyes. She asked, "Have you checked your grades?"
"I did."
