'Zhang Huai is such a fool,' he suddenly thought. 'All the boys in this village are fools!'
'Am I going to be a fool too? Of course not! I never even cared about Juhua's looks. I think she's wonderful, so I've never thought there was anything wrong with her face.'
He wondered again, 'Is it because Juhua's face is covered, and I can't see it, that I'm thinking this way?'
'No, that's not it. It's not like I've never seen her scarred face before. I never thought about it in the past, but she was still little then. Besides, I'd barely seen her a few times, and we never interacted. Now that she's good friends with my sister, I see her a lot more.'
