Qu Zhi laughed so hard that tears flowed out of her eyes.

"These are baby teeth. Didn't you already lose a few?" she didn't seem to make such a fuss before.

"No," Chuchu sniffled as she retorted, "I must have eaten too much candy yesterday. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen off."

Her mother had never allowed her to eat candy. It was all Chen En's fault! He gave Chuchu so much Belgium Chocolate and even encouraged her to compete with him to see who could eat more. Chuchu was filled with regret. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have believed this scoundrel!

Aunt Hui told Chuchu, "Throw the lower teeth upwards and the upper teeth downwards. That way, the teeth won't become crooked." This was the custom of her hometown.

Chuchu stopped crying. Compared to the pain of losing a tooth, she didn't want a crooked tooth. There was a child in the class who had crooked teeth and looked very ugly. She didn't want to.
