Being around these young women, Ji Li's smile unknowingly grew brighter. "It's just emotional expression. Many dance students can do it."
"I think... everyone seems to emphasize the movements but forgets about the eyes," one of the girls said, propping her chin on her hand. "That saying, 'letting your eyes do the talking'—that must be what you were just doing, right?"
Ruan Tang clutched the pearl like a treasure. "Our Ali is the best! I used to think you were just all kinds of beautiful and ethereal, Ali. Only now do I realize you have this side to you, too."
"I swear, if a beauty like you were to spare me a single glance, I'd be willing to offer up my entire life and fortune."
Ji Li ruffled Ruan Tang's hair. "You can't say that. I still have many shortcomings. What would I do with your life and fortune? As long as you're living well and are happy every day, that's enough for me."
