Her girlfriends quickly laughed and said, "Xiaotao, don't be so modest. How can you say that you're stealing their spotlight? You're teaching them!"
Teaching them was a small matter, of course, but Ye Xiaotao didn't want to go. There was no particular reason, and she just didn't feel like it.
"Xiaotao, what's wrong? I noticed that you've been acting weird lately. In the past, when we're out, you were always very active, but now you're all cowering back."
"That's right, Xiaotao. Are you... scared?"
Scared?
The word "scared" did not exist in Ye Xiaotao's dictionary.
She knew that her friends were trying to goad her, but it didn't matter. She clapped her hands and stood up. "Alright then, it seems like I haven't shown off my skills in a long time!"
"Wow, Xiaotao is brave. Xiaotao is awesome!" Her friends cheered.
