HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

Hwang Meilin crouched safely behind shelves of plushes and swallowed her saliva as she peeped.  She held her breath as she waited for the unfolding of the succeeding events.

She went closer, close enough to hear the Xue young master greet the man. "Long time no see, my friend. How have you been? …Han Fengyu."

Teng Man Rui looked shaken as she kept her head down as if evading any eye contact with anyone at the scene.

The stranger, the man whom Xue Minhe had spoken too, staggered infinitesimally, but held his head high and sneered back.

"Couldn't be any better.  I'm flattered you still remember me after all these years.  However, you must have gotten my name wrong.  I'm Shi Fan Hai.  How about you?  How have you been?  I thought you're stuck up in some hell overseas, or so I've heard."
