"I heard her," Li Wei said without looking up. "She's your best friend, not mine. It's perfectly normal for her to think I'm just an athlete and not good enough for you."
Anya had been a little sullen, but seeing Li Wei's reaction, she felt relieved.
"Don't be mad at her," she said, squatting down and giving Li Wei a kiss. "I think she's just a bit too blunt. I already gave her a piece of my mind."
"I'm really not mad," Li Wei said, putting down his Switch with a helpless look. "But if you're willing to offer some compensation, I wouldn't object."
Anya rolled her eyes and gave Li Wei a playful slap.
"It's still light out," she said.
"But it's still a long time until dinner," Li Wei said, checking the time.
Anya shot him a look, then slowly knelt before him and slipped the hair tie from her wrist.
...
Around 5 PM.
Daria messaged Anya about dinner.
Daria: [I finally managed to have someone book a table at Nobu Malibu.]
Daria: [A string of emojis]
