"She grew bolder than I assumed," Wang Li said with a meaningful look. "I wonder, under whose bad influence she grew this flirty."

"Of course," Gale said, "Everyone likes me. I'm very likeable."
Wang Li threw him a flat look, full of disapproval. "You know what I'm talking about."
Gale nodded after a while, finding the older woman serious.
"What do you think about that, then?"
"I think it was just teenage infatuation," Gale said immediately. "She'll get over it soon enough."
