"If you find it a mouthful, you can just call me Little Jiang."
"That won't work," Pei Yan said, shaking her head. "An elder I greatly respect also has the surname Jiang. Calling you Little Jiang would feel a bit disrespectful."
A smile flickered in Jiang Jun's eyes. "Then let's meet in the middle. Just call me Huaijin. It's the courtesy name my mother gave me when I came of age. She hoped that I would 'hold a gem and embrace jade,' possessing qualities as fine as the stone itself."
Pei Yan was direct as well. "Alright, then I'll call you Brother Jin."
Jiang Jun's eyes crinkled slightly. "That works."
Jiang Jun was a natural conversationalist, and as a frequent host of various shows, Pei Yan was always in the spotlight and knew how to keep things lively. There wasn't a single awkward moment as the two of them sat there talking.
