Ling Hua posed as if she knew what she was doing, but the actual execution was a different story.
After a few attempts, Yan Qing lost patience, "You call that knowing how to do it?"
Ling Hua smiled awkwardly, "A little."
Yan Qing waved his hand dismissively, "I don't think you know even a little."
Ling Hua drew back her hands, saying earnestly, "I'll know by tomorrow."
Yan Qing huffed twice, "You're learning on the spot today?"
"Yes," Ling Hua whispered, "I'm very smart. There's nothing difficult about this. I should be able to learn it with a bit of practice."
Yan Qing wanted to ask if she would do whatever he asked of her, but he felt that voicing such a question might ruin something. Up to now, Ling Hua had never dodged or evaded any task he'd given her; she had always indulged him. His words circled his mouth before he ultimately decided to swallow them, following along with her statement instead, "Then tomorrow I will see how smart you are."
Ling Hua agreed, "Okay."
