"Just run fast and catch up," said Li Zexin as he quickened his pace.
In the villa, Auntie Huang was preparing the dishes. They were right on time.
Li Zexin shouted before he even entered through the door, "Ms. Lin! Grandma Huang!"
Auntie Huang walked out of the kitchen when she heard the commotion. "Welcome Xinxin, these must be your roommates. Come. Come in!"
Li Zexin's friends greeted Auntie Huang warmly.
Chubby Jiang narrowed his eyes and sniffed. "Grandma, the food smells so good! My stomach is growling."
"It's almost done. Xinxin, there are fruits over there for your classmates. There's also soup. I'll call you when the food is ready." Auntie Huang turned around and went back into the kitchen.
"Wash your hands." Li Zexin took the lead and washed his hands in the corner of the courtyard.
"The decoration here is so soothing. Very Zen-like, I must say." Big Mouth admired the place.
