Finley bowed her head slightly, nodding. "Yes, Teacher Bi. This student apologizes for being late."
Bi Gho slapped Finley's shoulder abruptly with her closed fan and snorted. Finley was startled and looked up, confused.
"You're always so uptight!" Bi Gho chuckled. When she laughed, her face seemed to transform into a divine painting, with soft coral lips, pale ceramic skin, and lovely long lashes. "Don't call me Teacher Bi like everyone else. We're close, aren't we? Just call me Bi Gho! Or better yet, call me Gho-jie!"
Finley's cheeks painted faintly pink. She bowed her head again, still holding Abrial's wrist.
"Yes…Gho-jie" she said slowly.
"Can I call you Gho-jie too?" Abrial jumped in, grinning excitedly.
