Xue Jinxu waited patiently for him.
"We have to talk." She said, after placing the two sets of teacups and her newly brewed tea.
Chen Linyun, on the other hand, did not heed her call. "No, eat first. You only woke up today after sleeping for two days. Even before that, you haven't been eating." While blabbering, he was busy preparing the abalone porridge that he brought in the thermos. He transferred some to a bowl and handed it to her.
"Okay. We can talk while I'm eating."
"Okay." He agreed. He also could not wait to clarify the questions and concerns he had in his mind.
"Xue Jinxu.."
"Mhmm?" She was enjoying her hot abalone porridge. It gave her empty stomach a warm soothing sensation. She was blowing her spoon full of porridge.
"What am I to you?"
She froze.
"Am I just a neighbor or a friend to you? Aren't we close already? Are you this close to your other friends?"
