Second watch, asking for pink tickets.

A few little girls were playing a game called Ban Zhuanyun, chatting and laughing. Lian Manman was seated between Zhang Caiyun on one side and Lian Yeye on the other. When it was Zhang Caiyun's turn, she stopped joking and focused entirely on her move.
This game of grasping marbles, Ban Zhuanyun, actually helps train the little girls' dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Generally, the girls who play this game well have skillful hands and are quicker at learning needlework and embroidery than others.
While Zhang Caiyun was focused on Ban Zhuanyun, Lian Yeye leaned next to Lian Manman's ear and spoke to her in a low voice.
