"Aren't you going to pluck them?"

"There is no need for that," Wang Yao replied. "I've got quite a lot of substitutes at my place. Furthermore, just look at how they are growing out in the cracks. It must have been hard for them."

"Yeah, they're tenacious."

"Alright, I'll take you to another place now."
