Huo Shaoheng: “…You’re very knowledgeable”
“I learned it from Nianzhi You kno it is, I have to be up-to-date with all the latest internet slang if I want to bridge the generation gap,” Yin shi+xiong replied readily, his eyes glued to the photos When he was done going through the stack of photos, he clucked his tongue appreciatively “Were all these taken by Fan Jian?
