Sometimes, Li Fugui felt as if he wasn't facing a student, but a peer his own age, or even someone more mature.
At this thought, Li Fugui couldn't help but frown. It was easy to forget Tan You's age when she looked so tall and sturdy—he himself had to look up at her. 'But she's only sixteen by traditional counting. Since her birthday is late in the year, that means... she's only fourteen?'
"You're only fourteen. Are you sure you'll be okay living alone?" Li Fugui started to worry again. Tan You really was too young.
Tan You said, "How can you say I'll be living alone? I'll be living closer to you and your wife. We can head back together after evening self-study. It'll be perfectly safe."
"Great, so now you're roping me into this." Li Fugui shook his head. "I'll ask my wife to help ask around later. But wait. Your parents both live in town, yet you want to live by yourself instead of at home? That doesn't seem right, does it?"
