On Friday after school, Dong Jiajia walked out the door with Lu Jiaxin, chatting as they went, "Since today's Friday, you should be heading back to Mid-mountain, right?"
In Hong Kong, there are no classes on the weekends, so her question wasn't out of the blue.
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I've found a tutor. I'll be in tutoring sessions all day tomorrow, and then after that, I'll return to Mid-mountain to spend time with my aunt."
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard Su Heyuan calling out to her.
As Dong Jiajia saw that Su Heyuan was driving a used car, she felt the car was too low-end, "Jiaxin, is this your boyfriend?"
Lu Jiaxin felt awkward; the Mainland has a strong taboo against premature love, but girls in Hong Kong mature early, starting to date at fifteen or sixteen. She shook her head and said, "No, he's my godmother's nephew. He's been asked to look after me a bit in Hong Kong, to make sure nobody bullies me."
