Features: "No, no, your taste is wrong, Meimei is getting more and more like me," Dad said, "Everyone says so." Actually, Dad wasn’t very attractive; it was only like him that pleased Jia Mei, but both parents fought sweetly over it, filling Jia Mei’s heart with warmth. "I think she looks like Miss Ke Ren," Jia Li chimed in. "They’re almost identical." After a while, Jia Mei finished her homework and asked, "Hey, Jia Li, who is Miss Ke Ren?" Jia Li smiled and smiled before saying that it was the neighbor, Mr. Bai’s, from Lu Zhisheng’s house, who had a lion dog named Miss Ke Ren. It was chubby but had a bad temper and would scold people in dog language. Jia Mei knew she had fallen into Jia Li’s trap again. That guy liked to tease his twin sister and was always proud of himself. Jia Mei made up her mind to ignore him for three days and nights.
Just as it was time to eat, Jia Li looked at Jia Mei’s stern face and said, "So angry? Fine, I take back that word. But if you don’t want to be like a lion dog, what else do you want to be? Choose for yourself, like a fire pig, a fox, a White Bone Spirit, an hippopotamus, or a four-legged monster!" Jia Mei punched him in the chest out of anger. Jia Li feigned a scream, "Oh, I’m in so much pain," and claimed Jia Mei had violated the Youth Protection Law. Just then, Hu Caidei called, laughing hysterically at first to report that Lu Zhisheng had asked, "Why isn’t there a Beauty Trap in the world?" It was so hilarious. Then she asked how Lin Xiaomei had done on her exam. Jia Mei pouted and said, "She did better than me!" "That’s terrible," Hu Caidei exclaimed, "I really hope your lucky star helps you. Let a strange wind come and blow away Lin Xiaomei’s exam paper!"
"Impossible!" Jia Mei thought, annoyed that Hu Caidei was so obsessed with fortune-telling that she was out of her mind. "It’s right there in my pocket." Jia Mei subconsciously patted her pocket, only to realize she was wearing a new T-shirt her mom had bought. She couldn’t help but shout, "Lin Xiaomei’s exam paper is gone!" Hu Caidei said, "We won’t say a word about this; it’ll be a secret between us." She also told a story about when she was in fifth grade and participated in a primary school encyclopedia competition. She handed her answer sheet to the team leader, who, impressed by her performance, kept it hidden and claimed the first prize for himself. Later, the truth came out, and the team leader blamed it on a mistake and failing to submit it.
The more Jia Mei heard, the angrier she became, and she quickly hung up the phone. She searched everywhere for the clothes she had changed but couldn’t find them anywhere. Could Lin Xiaomei’s exam paper really have flown away? It was absurd; in today’s world, how could a magical wind blow?
"Who took my clothes?" Jia Mei cried, "My clothes have been stolen!" Her mom walked out of the kitchen with a smile, holding a dish, and said, "How can those clothes be stolen? There are two grease stains on the collar—you’re so clumsy, you’re almost like a boy."
"Mom, did you take my clothes?" Jia Mei asked. "Just tell me, yes or no." "So what if I did? It’s about time," Mom replied. "They’re already in the washing machine."
Jia Mei rushed to the bathroom and pulled out the wet clothes from the washing machine. Oh, no—the exam paper in her pocket had turned into a torn mess.
