"I'm leaving after Christmas," Li Wei said. "What's up? Do you need something?"
"Um... what I mean is," she said, "if you have an extra ticket, could I get one?"
"Whoa, babe," Craig quickly stopped her. "That's a bit much to ask."
"Quiet, honey," Jasmine glared at Craig, then looked back at Li Wei. "I just want Craig to meet some agents or scouts... You know how shy he is."
"Sorry, Jasmine," Li Wei said, shaking his head. "I've already given all the tickets away."
Of course he had tickets left. In fact, since Anya wasn't going, besides Don Quixote and Lily, he could bring at least three more people to the game.
But he'd had a bad feeling about Jasmine from the very beginning, so he had no qualms about turning her down.
By the time they reached the school gate and went their separate ways, Li Wei could still hear the distant, hushed argument between Craig and Jasmine.
