Hai Xiaotang left the hospital, suddenly craving some chatter.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Qiao Ning, "Hey, Qiao Ning, are you free? I want to treat you to a meal."
"I'm free, but this time I'll treat you! Otherwise, I won't go." Qiao Ning said with an intentional tease over the phone.
A smile gleamed on Hai Xiaotang's face: "Alright, it's on you then."
Once they agreed on a meeting location, they hung up the phone.
Hai Xiaotang arrived at the restaurant first, with Qiao Ning trailing a few minutes behind.
"Qiao Ning, I am over... here!" Hai Xiaotang waved at her happily as she spotted her friend.
Qiao Ning hurried over, sat down opposite her, and with a grin she asked: "Xiaotang, what made you want to have a meal with me today? I thought you would at the library studying."
