Unlike Lu Wen's polite smile, Tan You rarely showed any expression, but when she did smile, her eyes seemed to twinkle like stars. Anyone who saw it for the first time could tell her smile was genuine and from the heart.
Ji Mingxi also sensed Tan You's sincerity. He smiled. "Let's... switch seats. There's not much... sun... over here..."
He was a foreigner, and while he could speak some Chinese, he wasn't very fluent, so foreign words tended to slip out when he was flustered. Tan You didn't understand them at all, but she didn't refuse his kind offer. "I can speak English," she said. "If it's easier for you, feel free to use it."
"Of course, it would be even better if you could teach me your country's language."
Ji Mingxi switched to the other seat. "Okay. The host said you could speak some."
Tan You was very composed. "Just a few simple phrases I've picked up from watching shows. In exchange, I can teach you Chinese."
Ji Mingxi beamed. "Great! We can learn from each other..."
