"A winter parent-child program? A family day event?" Li Wei considered it. "Am I allowed to go?"
"Of course you can! Besides, you're a huge star," Lily said, clasping her hands together and blinking her big eyes with a pitiful look of entreaty. "Please, Brother Li Wei? If I don't bring a parent to this 'Winter Family Day,' it'll be miserable. I'll get bullied."
Seeing the hopeful expression on Lily's face, Li Wei smiled and ruffled her hair.
"Hey!" Lily protested, smoothing down her hair.
"It's no problem," Li Wei readily agreed. "Saturday morning?"
"Yes! You're the best, Brother Li Wei!" Lily cheered, then happily followed Chen Haisheng out the door to school.
Li Wei returned to his apartment and poured himself a glass of water. Just as he was about to lie down on the sofa for a bit, his phone, which was sitting on the coffee table, began to vibrate urgently.
Elizabeth Mellon.
'A call from Liz?'
