Afternoon Tea

"I'm at the hospital."

"I'm outside the hospital, can you come out?"

"Do you need something?" Huo Mian's tone was distant. She was very conflicted; she did not want to become too close to Qin Chu, but they lived under the same roof so it wasn't like she had a choice.

"Yes," Qin Chu said with a serious tone.

Huo Mian looked at her watch, she had 20 minutes before she had to get back to work. There was still time. Thus, she stood up and walked towards the hospital entrance.

As soon as she got there, she saw Qin Chu, leaning against the unassuming Volkswagen CC.

Huo Mian hesitated for a moment before walking over slowly.

Qin Chu handed her a plastic bag, "Here."

"What's this?" Huo Mian asked, a bit concerned.

"Afternoon tea."

"Thank you," Huo Mian said as she took over the bag and nodded in gratitude.
