"What do you mean I can't get him out of my head?"
"Still denying it! Just think about it. In the three or four short months since this summer, how many times have you brought up Chen De'an? 'Chen De'an dragged me down in polo.' 'Chen De'an's studies on the Four Books aren't even as good as mine.' 'Chen De'an is pretty good at the *Zhou Yi*, he has the talent to become a fortune-teller.' And when you all went hiking and had a picnic, 'Chen De'an snatched the last rabbit leg, from a rabbit I shot!'... Count them yourself. How many times have you chattered on about him in my ear these last few months? I'm so tired of hearing about it my ears are about to grow calluses."
"But... but I've mentioned other people too, haven't I?"
