"Brother Ye, over here."
The moment Li Qing saw Chen Wen, she immediately waved.
Chen Wen said nothing and walked straight over.
Only after arriving before Li Qing did he cup his fists. "Brother Li."
"How does it feel to be back in your hometown?" Li Qing asked with a light laugh.
How could Chen Wen not know she was teasing him? He replied, "Better than I imagined, just a little cold."

Li Qing gave a cheerful cry and immediately took the lead.
