In Pain and Agony

Huo Jin took the orange from her and started to peel it. "I could do that," Yin Na said.

"I know, but I love to peel oranges," Huo Jin replied. "It is my favorite fruit," he answered and passed a smile to her.

"Did you see General Wang? I wanted to know how his meeting went with the Prime Minister's daughter," Huo Jin said.

"I am also waiting for Brother Wang. It is late noon. What kind of work did he get suddenly, that he had to go to the palace?" Yin Na said.

Huo Jin forwarded a peeled orange slice to her. "Eat it," he said. Yin Na thanked him as she took the slice. Huo Jin put the slices on the plate and told Yin Na to keep eating. He peeled the second orange and ate from that.

"So, why were you crying? Did you recall something?" Yin Na asked him. Huo Jin gazed at her and ate the orange slice that was in his hand. She then looked at the notebook. "What's that? I have seen you carrying it around. What do you write in that?" She queried.
