Kang Li moved to sit next to Mrs. Qi, smiled apologetically, leaned on the other's arm, and said in a delicate voice with a giggle, "Godmother, please don't be mad at me. If I really didn't tell you, that means I must have forgotten, I definitely didn't mean to keep it from you!"
"Alright, alright, your godmother isn't as forgiving as you make it sound." With a mix of helplessness and indulgence, Mrs. Qi tapped Kang Li's nose and said, "So, you and that Comrade Xiao are colleagues now."
"Yeah." Kang Li nodded. "I just found out myself."
Mrs. Qi raised an eyebrow: "..."
Kang Li then recounted the incident of running into Xiao Jin when she came back from buying groceries, finishing with, "If he hadn't greeted me first, I wouldn't have even known who he was. After he left the courtyard, I felt the coincidence was a bit odd, so I thought I'd come over and ask you, godmother, to see if you knew this Comrade Xiao Jin."
"How is it a coincidence?"
Mrs. Qi asked with a smile.
