"No need, I just..." Hai Xiaotang chanced a glance at the sandwich in her hand, blurting out, "I haven't eaten and my stomach doesn't feel good."
The girl laughed and immediately handed her the sandwich, "I bought it and never got around to eating it, you can have it."
"Thank you...", Hai Xiaotang gratefully accepted it.
"No problem. Miss, are you also from C City?" asked the girl with a smile.
Hai Xiaotang nodded, "Yes, and you?"
"Yes. Looks like we're both from the same place."
"My name is Hai Xiaotang, what's yours?"
The girl chuckled, "My name is Qiao Ning. 'Qiao' as in Xiaoqiao, and 'Ning' as in Ning Yuan."
Hai Xiaotang knew her name was Qiao Ning, and she also knew who she was.
She extended her hand, flashing an authentic smile, "Qiao Ning, it's nice to meet you."
"Same here", Qiao Ning shook her hand and asked, "Are you also here in New York to study?"
"Not really, are you an international student?"
