It had been a while since he voluntarily contacted Han Xue. He hesitated to turn to her immediately when he ran into trouble. Was that unkind? But after a moment's hesitation, Li Zhongnan plucked up his courage and called her anyway.
The fact that he hadn't reached out in so long didn't bother her as much as he'd expected. In fact, her only complaint was, "Mr. Busy, what can I do for you?"
Li Zhongnan chuckled and said, "In fact, I do have a favor to ask. Can you spare some time to have some breakfast with me?"
"Sure! Just give me a moment!"
With that, Han Xue hung up the phone.
Li Zhongnan opened a food delivery app and ordered an $88 meal from the famous Ming Du Restaurant in County Town. As soon as he had finished paying, Han Xue arrived on her electric bicycle.
He closed the door of his shop, went out to greet her and asked with a smile, "What have you been up to lately?"
