Don’t You Embarrass Me

The instant that thought popped up in Yu Lili's head, denial told her that she was overthinking the situation. She put that hopeful thought aside. With a word of agreement, she followed Jiao Ziqing out.

Yu Lili didn't dare walk too fast or too slowly. She kept pace just a step behind Jiao Ziqing, making it evident that she was still ill at ease. After she heard the question, she gave it some thought before answering. "At work, I guess. I'm usually at work for half the day."

"What about the weekends?" Jiao Ziqing asked.

"During the weekends, I'm usually at home drawing," Yu Lili replied.

"Drawing?" Jiao Ziqing seemed surprised. It took a second before realization set in. "Oh, right! You draw comics, don't you?"

"Yeah…" Yu Lili replied.
