After the final curtain call and all the congratulations were exchanged with the cast and crew, it was nearly 5pm. By that time, Su Ning was already so famished it was as if her stomach was committing hara-kiri. Her meals had been very light the last month before their performance since she had to make sure she fit into the costumes that were custom tailored 2 months prior. However before she was able to meet up with Lin Miao and Li Youqing, Lin JinYan coincidentally offered to treat the entire cast and crew to a celebratory dinner. Being that Su Ning was the female lead in the performance, it wouldn't be in good taste for her to not attend.
Authors Note: Hara-Kiri or seppuku the honourable method of taking one's own life by self disembowelment, practiced by men of the samurai (military) class in feudal Japan. I know it's a little over dramatic but I often use this term to depict the goings on in my belly when I am hungry.
