That night when Li Lanni returned home after having dinner with Ah Chen, she felt relieved.
Finally, she no longer owed Ah Chen.
However, it wasn't all that bad to have a meal with that guy. As long as he wasn't going overboard, he was gentle and kind and generally the type of guy who could make a good friend.
"Mom, you're still awake?" Li Lanni was surprised when she saw Li Yuming in the living room. She had lost track of time and returned a little late, so she had expected her to be asleep.
"Lanni, come here." Li Yuming patted the space beside her.
Li Lanni rushed over and habitually hugged her arm.
"Who did you go out with? Can you tell mom?"
"A senior from the art class. I misunderstood him before."
She kept it short and vague, and Li Yuming didn't probe further. She only reminded, "Girls shouldn't stay out late."
Li Lanni nodded. "Got it, mom,"
