Teacher Liang calmed down as well. "You're right. If this doesn't work out, we can just try again next year. But I'm really not used to wearing clothes like this. It feels so restrictive, and the collar is way too tight. I feel like I can't breathe."
"It's just your imagination," Tang Li said, linking her arm through Teacher Liang's. "I think it's because your soul is so free and untamable, Teacher Liang. You can't stand being restrained, physically or spiritually."
"You're the one who gets me," Teacher Liang sighed. "Thank goodness this is only once a year."
"But then again, someone as talented as you must be the type who can't stand being tied down either..."
Tang Li quickly objected, "What talent? There are tons of people more talented than I am..."
Old Liang's eyes widened. "Is this what they call 'humblebragging' online? That's the biggest humblebrag I've ever heard."
