I know men like those two big buns, but mine are only sesame-size, it’s so annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Sixth Sister, maybe he’s really busy and not avoiding you. Plus, men are naturally career-focused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Violet gently consoled Xia Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventh Sister, stop comforting me.
