"How is it?"
Mirage asked Chen Jie, and Chen Jie replied, "The real candied haws taste ten thousand times better than yours."
"Ten thousand times."
Mirage looked expectantly and curiously asked, "Can you let me taste the flavor of candied haws?"
Hearing this, Chen Jie revealed a cunning smile, "Of course, aren't we friends? How can I refuse a friend's request?"
"Friends?"
Mirage looked at Chen Jie, slightly furrowing her brows, and after a long time, she broke into a grin, saying, "Hehe, yes, we are friends!"
Chen Jie said, "Friends should help each other. Here's the deal, next time I come to see you, I'll bring you a stick of candied haws. Will you help me with a small task today?"
Mirage thought for a moment and then gestured with two fingers but immediately opened her whole hand, saying, "Five sticks!"
Looking at Mirage's chubby little hand, Chen Jie replied, "Deal, five sticks."
