Jake and Noah, seated along with them at the same table, couldn't help but revel in their friend, Lu Lijun's audaciousness. Their faint smiles conveyed unspoken approval and camaraderie.
An Tian, never one to miss a chance for playful banter, quipped as he looked at Jake and Noah, "Stop smiling for others. It would be better if you have that smile when you look at each other instead of blessing each other with punches."
"We're working on it," Jake responded serenely, only to be met with a piercing glare from the guy sitting next to him, Noah.
"What the heck," Noah exclaimed, "Don't give them wrong ideas saying whatever. We are working on nothing at all."
Jake turned to look at the angry guy, "They already have the right idea about both of us. Don't overreact and act like a 'woman playing hard to get'."
"Jake, are you asking for trouble?" Noah warned, "Just because I am forced to let you crash at my place, don't get other ideas."
