A meal.
Tang Qing and Ayman's relations warmed up considerably, Chai Ren and Mu Jian managed to interject a few words from time to time, and they gradually relaxed. They were developing a fondness for this slightly awkward Saudi prince who seemed to lack any cunning.
After the meal, they even fought over the bill.
This left the onlookers dumbfounded.
Ayman was so thoroughly influenced by Tang Qing, the Chinese student he had met, that he fully embraced this Chinese practice of fighting to pay the bill. Even his bodyguard got in on the act. When two burly men blocked Mu Jian's path, the whole situation became so comically absurd that everyone burst into laughter.
Leaving the restaurant.
"Tang, and everyone else, I'm very pleased to have met you today," Ayman stated earnestly. Despite the fact that Tang Qing frequently joked about him, he believed that these people harbored no ill will and weren't looking to take advantage of him.
He enjoyed this feeling.
