Heavy Tastes

Shui Xian was still in a daze when suddenly the voice call disconnected. He thought it was a connection issue and was about to make a call back when he received her call again. But this time, it was a video call.

Shui Xian took two deep breaths before he accepted the call and Raelle's face appeared on the screen. "Why did you get the same lunch for me?" he asked as his eyes bore into her eyes through the screen.

"Because I wanted to have lunch with you," she replied frankly.

Shui Xian could feel the thumping sound of his heart as it drummed in his chest while his eyes continued to gaze into her eyes.

"You're there and I'm here," he said before licking his lips. "How is that having lunch together?"

Raelle took a spoonful of the soup and drank it before saying, "You are eating what I'm eating. I can see you right before my eyes. I can even hear your voice. Tell me, how is this not having lunch together?"
