"Sorry, I don't have any men's slippers at my place, so you'll just have to make do with these," offered Feng Kexin, handing Song Xiaodong a pair of dainty women's slippers.
Song Xiaodong cracked a slight smile and said, "No need, I don't think my feet smell or anything. If you don't mind, I'll just go without. Wearing your slippers might make you uncomfortable anyway."
"Well, ..." Feng Kexin felt a bit awkward and replied, "Okay then, just come in like that."
Feng Kexin's home was a small apartment with just a living room and a bedroom, plus a small kitchen and balcony. It was simple but very tidy and clean.
After a quick glance around, Song Xiaodong asked, "Is this your place?"
"I rent it. I usually live at school, but I stay here over the weekends. Would you like something to drink?"
"No, thanks. I just wanted to have a look at your round token." As he spoke, Song Xiaodong took out his own round token.
