"Oh, give it a rest with the innocent act!" the elder said, both annoyed and amused. "We slid into this topic by chance today, and it's nothing new to you. I just mentioned it offhand, whether you do it or not is ultimately up to you."
"Old man, I won't say anything else..." Liu Zhenhan took Guoguo off his shoulder and handed her to the elder. "For that comment alone, I'll show you something novel! Take a good look at Guoguo, do you notice anything unusual about it?"
Elder Andulan fluttered his mung bean eyes, his wrinkled brow furrowing into a pleated flower as he scrutinized Guoguo's face, turning the little creature over and over. Guoguo grabbed the elder's beard, grinning with bared teeth.
"Well?" Liu Zhenhan asked. "Old man, do you see anything noteworthy?"
Elder Andulan flipped Guoguo's eyelids and pinched her chubby little cheeks, giving Liu Zhenhan a blank look for no apparent reason: "Guoguo seems to have put on weight again."
