Lu Jia'er asked Liao Min. "Teacher Liao, could you please get me a cup of water?"
Liao Min replied with a smile, "Sure. Just a moment, please!"
After Liao Min stepped out, Lu Jia'er turned to Xu Lei and asked in a friendly tone, "Deputy Xu, have you had supper yet?"
"Yes, I have. Professor Lu, how about you?" Xu Lei kept his gaze on Lu Jia'er as well.
"Not yet!" Lu Jia'er answered, smiling.
Upon hearing her reply, Xu Lei said at once, "Since that's the case, then let us go and grab a bite first. My treat."
Lu Jia'er chuckled. "Deputy Xu, I am only joking. I have had supper!"
"Have you, really? You are not trying to fool me, are you?" Xu Lei looked at Lu Jia'er.
"Yes, I have indeed. I was joking to help ease your nerves!" Lu Jia'er answered with a hint of a smile.
Xu Lei was a bit embarrassed. He adjusted his sitting posture for a bit and smiled. "I am not nervous."
