"Xiaobing, where did you go? Why did it take so long?"
Faced with Liu Chen's questioning, Xiaobing stammered, not knowing how to answer properly. Seeing Xiaobing flustered and unsure of his response, Liu Chen didn't push further, but patted Xiaobing's shoulder and walked away.
Xiaobing felt relieved immediately, but then Lin Ping suddenly patted him on the back from behind, saying, "Where did you sneak off to, young man?"
"I didn't go anywhere, just went out for a stroll." In fact, there wasn't much to it. Xiaobing had met a girl, but his introverted nature made him reluctant to tell his peers too early.
