Liang Xinwei reached for a lighter, ready to light the candle, but the Great-grandfather’s cane struck it away. "You did that on purpose. I saw you lean in close to the candle and blow it out. Don't try to deny it—your heart is truly wicked."
Liang Xinwei’s fingers had been cut while she was rummaging through the trash, and she had only just finished bandaging them. The Great-grandfather’s cane struck that very injured finger, and she shrieked in pain.
"Great-grandfather, I was only leaning in to see how much of the candle was left so I could replace it with a new one. I must have been breathing too heavily and accidentally blew the flame out. I really didn't mean to."
