清清：發生什麼事了？腫得這麼大，看醫生了嗎？
Qīngqing: Fāshēng shénme shì le? Zhǒng de zhème dà, kàn yīshēng le ma?
華華：昨天不是愚人節嗎？我弟弟不知道從哪裡弄來了一些作弄人的糖果，騙我說要請我吃吃看，結果不但把嘴都染黑了，還害我過敏，整個腫起來，晚上我去醫院拿了藥，今天還比昨天好一點了。

翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Hey? Huahua! What happened to your mouth?
Huahua: Don’t bring it up! It’s all because of my younger brother! It’s so infuriating!
Qingqing: What happened? It’s so swollen. Did you see a doctor?
Huahua: Wasn’t yesterday April Fools’ Day? My brother somehow got hold of some prank candies and tricked me into trying them, saying he wanted to treat me. As a result, not only did my mouth turn black, but it also caused an allergic reaction, swelling up. I went to the hospital last night and got some medicine. Today is a bit better than yesterday.
Qingqing: Oh! April Fools’ Day pranks are okay, but it’s not good if they go too far.
Huahua: The worst part is those who choose April Fools’ Day to confess their feelings. It’s unclear whether it’s true or false, and it’s super annoying.
Qingqing: Hahaha! Congratulations! Someone confessed to you! Even if it’s a prank, you should be happy.
Huahua: Come on! Do I really have no one interested in me? Remember that!
