Zheng Xie said: “Never mind. You listen.”
But Yang Wei Qi did not switch back on the radio. The car had returned to silence. Not long after, Yang Wei Qi asked: “Is my clothes ok?”
Zheng Xie turned to look at her. “It is fine.”
“But it felt a little tight. Will it not seem dignified enough? I recently gain some weight.”
“No. But if you really feel bad, then after we arrived, I will go with you to buy new clothes.”
“If you think it is okay, then there is no need to change.” Later, she felt that it is very funny and explained: “I am just a little nervous.”
Zheng Xie comforted her: “My father will like you. So you do not worry.”
Yang Wei Qi bowed and twisted her fingers. “I have the feeling just like I am off to meet the examiner.”
In her nervousness, she failed to see Zheng Xie’s preoccupied look.
