I clear my throat and flash a sheepish smile. "Uhm… so let me introduce you to him properly. Meet Jiang Yu—my secret boyfriend."
Jiang's eyes light up like someone just handed him a puppy. He wiggles in place, arms twitching awkwardly at his sides, trying to mimic something he's clearly seen in a C-drama. It's a stiff little bounce, somewhere between a bow and a happy dance.
Yuyu's eyes widen. "Secret? Why?"
"Ah—you see…" I give a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of my neck, "we want to keep it quiet for now. So, can you please not tell anyone yet?"
Yuyu narrows her eyes, lips curling into a teasing smirk. "Oh-hooo… you wanna keep his charms all to yourself, huh?"
Jiang blinks. His antenna twitches once under the headband.
Then Yuyu dramatically gasps, clutching her chest like she's in a period drama. "God forbid—marrying two girls to one man, right?"
My jaw drops. "Huh?! Yuyu—what?!"
She waves both hands quickly, giggling. "Sorry, sorry! It was just a joke!"
