Finally! I had prepped for this exact circumstance! I was almost giddy as I pulled out five of the old-school buckets of popcorn. You know the ones with the red and white stripes? Yeah, and they were overflowing with the buttery treat.
"We really aren't like that!" said Yang Meng Yao as she looked desperately between Wang Chao and Li Shoi Ming. I didn't know if she was looking to Wang Chao to confirm or deny her statement, but either way, he wasn't rising to the bait.
I handed the buckets of popcorn to Liu Wei, Liu Yu Zeng, and Chen Zi Han as I got more comfortable in the built-in booth behind the dining room table. Liu Yu Zeng slid in on my other side and I leaned back into his arms as we both watched the scene in front of us as if it was the latest episode of a reality TV show. Even Liu Wei and Chen Zi Han had taken the two chairs and were casually eating the treat as they watched the entertainment.
