Wrapped up like a silkworm in a cocoon, they dawdled in bed for a long time, and it was past eight when Qin Guanglin and He Fang finally got up to wash. Qin Guanglin emptied everything from his backpack and, carrying the empty bag, prepared to leave.
He Fang turned off the air conditioner, scanned the room to make sure nothing was left behind, and then took Qin Guanglin's hand to head outside, "Let's go, breakfast first."
Even though he hadn't slept well, Qin Guanglin was still full of energy. He Fang pulled him along for a leisurely stroll and they ended up having a big bowl of wontons with three sticks of fried dough for breakfast in a local eatery.
Eat light in the morning, eat full at noon, and eat well at night. That was what he had heard from Qin's mom since he was a child, though he wasn't sure if it made sense. Anyway, he wasn't deliberate about feeling full for breakfast; just a light meal would do.
