First steps

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing. I pick it up without looking at the caller ID.

"Good morning babe!"

I hear Xiu Ying's voice on the other line.

"Babe?"

"Should I call you Shanxi instead?"

Please do...I think I'll die if you call me babe again."

"Nnnn...Fine!"

"Why'd you call me today?"

"It's a morning call! I had to wake you up since you always wake up late! oh by the way, I made you some lunch!"

"Oh...no one's ever done that for me...thank you. Should I come pick you up?"

"Please do! I hate walking to school..."

"Alright, I'll be over at your house in 12 minutes!"

"Hehe okay! Bye~ Love you~"
