PLEASE comment if and why you like this story! This story is about Alex, a junior in high school and her adopted sister, XiaoLi, the same age as Alex, who struggles with fitting in in school - in life, - because of her lack of English speaking skills. Luckily, Alex is becoming a fluent Mandarin speaker in order to understand her sister and friend. At least one Chinese idiom will be in each chapter, hence the title, and will be underlined. There will be a section where you can find the definitions, how to write them, and how to say them! (◞ꈍ∇ꈍ)◞⋆**
