"You're more childish," Xue Ning retorts. 

"No you're more childish," Jingwei says insistently. "The most childish." 

"No, you're more childish," Xue Ning replies, emphasising it by pointing at him. "No wonder Officer Tang has all that white hair, he must have had his hands full dealing with you."
