"Met her?" Cheng Yulan glanced at Jiang He. The girl was pretty, but she couldn’t recall much about her—except the time she was cosplaying in the hallway.
"Yeah, back when… huh… I just started college, maybe four or five years ago? She wasn’t this tall back then, had a bit of a round face. You two even stood at my door chatting for a bit… ring a bell?"
"Did we?" Cheng Yulan was doubtful.
"Come on, you probably just don’t remember because she’s changed so much. The round-faced girl… that was her!" Xu Qing said with conviction, hauling the rice up the last steps and setting it down outside his door, catching his breath.
"My memory’s not what it used to be," Cheng Yulan muttered, trying hard to recall as they reached the door. She knocked briskly. "Old Wang, open up!"
"Well, just remember now—this is my girlfriend, Jiang He," Xu Qing grinned. "Alright, I’m taking her out to eat. She’s been cooped up at home playing games all day, barely stepping outside."
"Come in and have some water. You look beat."
