Selfless but Secretive: Learning to Love you

The next day at Chaoyang International School, Lina sat in the teacher's lounge sipping a hot cup of coffee and eating a cheese sandwich.


A group of female teachers entered and stopped talking when they saw Lina sitting alone.


"Hey Lina," said one of the young women.


"Hi," Lina nodded back. The woman continued to chat with her friends, giggling and whispering. Her name was Zou XiaoDan and she was an art teacher.


Lina shrugged and finished her coffee, keeping to herself and finishing her papers.


Lina looked up when Zou XiaoDan sat down beside her.


"Lina can I borrow your mug?" she asked placing her slender fingers on Lina's purple cup.


"Uh.." Lina paused, "XiaoDan there are many other cups that you can use... I am a bit of a germophobe." Lina smiled fakely.


The young woman smiled and pulled the cup closer, "I know but those other cups are so gross and belong to the male teachers... yours is so pretty and clean... Please Lina?"
