Several days ago, some people from his high school group had contacted everyone for a gathering just before the new year.
The contacts were their former class monitor as well as academic representative, namely Jiang Kai and Du Xin Lan. Li Du had been especially active in high school, and had taken on the role of a labor representative.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, they met up at noon in a restaurant in the county town.
In the morning, after Li Du had finished his video call with Sophie, he gave Ah Ow and Crispy Noodles a kiss each and then dashed off to ready himself to head out for the gathering at the restaurant.
Godzilla also got changed and ready to go. Li Du waved his hand and said, "What're you going there for? Just stay at home. The public security in the county is very good."
"Let me go," said the Mexican, who was sulking.
