"This is really tasty," Gu Jiajia said as she sat down, eagerly picking up fried meat, looking very greedy: "I've been drooling just watching Tang Huai cook it."
"Hello," Kai Jie said, approaching Gu Jiajia with a drink in hand, smiling amiably at her: "Your performance was wonderful."
"Huh?" Gu Jiajia, thoroughly enjoying her food, was suddenly caught off guard by a foreign language ringing above her head. She looked up at the tall, reasonably handsome middle-aged foreign man: "What... What did you say?"
Gu Jiajia was only in the first year of middle school, and while she passed English exams, she had never faced, let alone communicated with, a foreigner; and she had been too focused on eating the fried meat to listen carefully to what he had asked.
Now, with her mouth corners greasy, she looked at Kai Jie with a blank expression—what... what had he just said to her?
"You look so cute," Kai Jie said with a chuckle, amused by her bewildered and adorable look, complimenting her.
