"Alright then," Li Wei said, starting the Porsche. "Is Auntie Kaja really okay with you going to Sunset Park with me? Isn't she worried about your safety?"
"Auntie Kaja said she'd have a car follow us to protect us," Anya said, leaning over to turn up the heat. "My God, aren't you cold?"
Li Wei then remembered he had forgotten to turn up the heat when he got in. His improved constitution had increased his resistance to the cold. While he'd still feel it if he stripped down for a winter swim, he was much better off than before.
The car headed southwest. Gazing at Anya's profile, Li Wei couldn't help but ask:
"So, tell me about this project of yours," he said as he merged the 911 into traffic. "What's your plan? What's your angle?"
"My college counselor, Ms. Wood, pointed me in a certain direction," Anya said, taking a notebook from her small bag. She flipped it open to her densely packed notes. "She suggested I could focus on the angle of respiratory issues."
