Little Birdie (Ming'er)

"What's up with that shit-eating grin on your face?" 

Ming'er snaps out of his thoughts as soon as he hears his sassy childhood friend's voice. Hua Maque had unknowingly burst the bubble that Ming'er had briefly created upon realizing just how much Yuying resembled her.

Ming'er doesn't know why he hadn't realized it earlier. Perhaps he'd been so caught up with the fact that he'd literally woken up in a strange modern universe where Chinese people don't speak Chinese and have rainbow-colored hair, as well as the fact that he'd apparently survived an assassination attempt that he hadn't thought about it at all until now.
