Ma Yuan couldn't hide the joy on his face when he heard Ma Ling's response as he grinned ear to ear, with the rims of his eyes reddening with emotion.
Yang Qing went ahead and introduced Ma Yuan and Ma Ling to Dai Chen and Zhang Qingge.
"Ma Yuan, if you have the time, would you mind helping my friend Qingge with her place? You can even bring Ma Ling there to help you with it if you want. It's not a problem, is it, Qingge?"
"Mmh, it's not.." answered Zhang Qingge mumbling her words in a low tone when she became the center of attention.
"So pretty.." Ma Ling absentmindedly muttered before she heard herself talk and couldn't help but yelp when she realized she had spoken her thoughts out loud.
"S.s.sorrry.." she meekly said as she cast a furtive glance at Zhang Qingge. She couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw her smiling.
