Li Yan buried his head in the cool water to give himself a jolt, then added, "If anyone harasses you, you can go find Wei Dan, that woman with the buzzcut, don't worry, she's not a lesbian."
Afafu handed Li Yan a warm, damp towel, and asked, "Yesterday… you were out for so long without coming back, where did you rest?"
"Upstairs, drinking."
"But I heard them say that you left with that woman named Wei Dan."
Li Yan paused, "So what?"
Afafu, twining her wrists, said, "Nothing, it's just that I was worried you didn't get good rest. I drank a bit too much last night, and if I behaved inappropriately, making you uncomfortable, I'm sorry."
"I'm fine."
