Li Chen modestly replied, "Zhang Mei did all the work; I just followed along."

Sun Fang joined the conversation, saying, "You did a great job, cousin."

"Thank you," Li Chen acknowledged. Li Xinjie, still standing with Cen Yuhuan, interjected, "Stop praising him; he stepped on a woman's toe."

Laughter erupted, breaking the tension, and Cen Yuhuan leaned in towards Li Xinjie, asking, "Aren't you going to introduce me to your twin brother?"

Li Xinjie sighed, accepting the inevitable, and introduced, "Li Chen, this is my friend, Cen Yuhuan."

Li Chen nodded in greeting, and Cen Yuhuan added, "Nice meeting you. You both look alike."

Sun Lixia complimented, "Your friend is beautiful, Li Xinjie."

Cen Yuhuan responded confidently, "Thanks, aunty."
