"Senior Bei Bei, don't praise me like that. It puts so much pressure on me. Senior Jiang Nannan is the one who's really amazing. I still have a lot to learn from her."
Bei Bei smiled. "You each have your own strengths."

Jiang Nannan raised her head and looked at him.
"No. You're overthinking it."
She turned and walked
