Illusionary Happiness (3)

"Why not? Is this a bad time?"

"I'm having dinner with some directors."

"Where?"

"Yu's Kitchen."

"Oh…"

Then, Huo Mian fell silent and hung up the phone. 

Just when Su Yu thought that this was over, he received another message from Huo Mian 20 minutes later. "I'll wait for you outside Yu's Kitchen. No rush, come down once you're done."

No Rush? It was freezing outside! Winter this year had been especially brutal; C City could get as cold as - 20 degrees at night. 

"I'll be right back." Apologetic, Su Yu got up to leave the private room. Thank goodness the directors knew Su Yu well, so no one blamed him for leaving. 

Su Yu ran downstairs and out the door to see Huo Mian sitting at the curb on the street across from him. She was wearing a thin cashmere coat – in this weather only a thick down jacket was capable of keeping someone warm.
