When he said this, my stomach grumbled. The food on the airplane was hard and salty. When Cheng Jia Ming mentioned the cuisine, I was unable to control myself.

I held it in.

I didn’t have time to go out alone.

I reached my room, bathed, and became to prepare the new doc.u.ments for the meeting.

Not after too long, someone knocked on the door.

I opened it. It was a server. He held an exquisite box in his hands.

“Do you need anything?”

“Miss, someone bought you desserts. It is the local favorite, Three Big Bang.”

“This can’t be.”

I could already smell it, so fragrant.

I took it, opening the box. Inside, it was a crisp yet soft, fragrant yet sweet Three Big Bang. There was even jelly, a sesame ball, and steamed chicken with chili sauce*.

*This is literally called saliva chicken.

Cheng Jia Ming, I forgive you.

I looked at my doc.u.ments while eating.

The second day the big meeting started. The one who was partnered up with me was an interpreter from the Foreign Liason Bureau of the Ministry of Health. He was a very young boy who stood up to shake my hand, called me senior sister. Frankly, even though my age had been called a little older by him, the embodiment of respect was very useful. The representatives of the Belgian Medical a.s.sociation took the floor, I prepared, and energetically I successfully completed the task.

In the afternoon there was a buffet. Later in the afternoon, there was the French representatives’ statement. I didn’t eat much, otherwise I would become drowsy. I drank less champagne, and when I got wine, I saw the other end of the restaurant where Cheng Jia Ming was speaking to the Belgians.

I walked over. Cheng Jia Ming was speaking English extremely fluently. It was only that these Belgians only knew French and Dutch; they did not know English. The two people barely communicated.

“Do you need help?” I asked.

Cheng Jia Ming laughed: “All right maiden. You came at the right time. Concerning their computer-a.s.sisted fluid a.n.a.lysis of liver and gallbladder treatment currently in Europe that they spoke about in the morning and the specific implementation, I still have a question…..”

The two people later began to talk happily, leaving their contact informations to each. In the future, they would ask each other about joint research topics.

Cheng Jia Ming said: “You’re pretty great. This morning, your simultaneous interpretation was very good.”

“Thank you for the snacks yesterday that you sent.”

As we spoke, his interest rose: “Let me tell you, take-away three big bangs is worse by so much than big bangs that just get out of the oven.”

“Really?”

“Tomorrow when we finish our meeting, let’s go and stroll around. What do you think?”

“I basically agree.”

That day after we finished out meeting, I made an appointment with Cheng Jia Ming at about 6:00. We were supposed to go out to stroll, but after 40 minutes the person still hadn’t appeared.

I wore my windbreaker and went to find him. What was the matter. If he couldn’t come I would go alone.

I hadn’t knocked on the door when someone opened the door.

A very tall woman.

Her face was thin, but she was very delicate, her makeup very bright.

She looked at me, laughed for a moment, sneering.

In the end, she left in bit steps.

The cleaning auntie pushed her work cart forward, a mysterious expression on her face.

What scene was this?

I used my knee to think, but I also knew this scene was very common in movies: The current girlfriend would meet her predecessor, that woman’s heart would say, you will be his ex-girlfriend sooner or later, the guy would say, sorry, I forgot to meet with you, and as of now, there would be someone pa.s.sing by, going back to tell his own school-age children to not learn the game of love between guys and girls in the city.

Cheng Jia Ming saw me from inside: “Sorry, really sorry. I’m coming immediately.”

“There’s no need,” I said, clear and imposing, “I will go out to stroll, Doctor Cheng, if you want to eat anything, I’ll buy it for you and come back.”

Cheng Jia Ming quickly put on his jacket and come out.

His left hand pushed my back outside: “Oh, there’s no other way, when we get to the end of the world, these feelings will become a debt, one by one.”

My heart thought, This person really had the guts to open his mouth.
