Three years later, Anna is still the same foodie Anna, clearly a full-blooded Brit, yet she can handle spicy food even better than Xiao Yu who is a native of Huaxia. They ordered a spicy hot pot, and Anna went to get some dishes.
Once everything was ready, Anna said while skewering meat, "Do you want some alcohol? Beer goes perfectly with skewers, it's a match made in heaven!"
Xiao Yu was in a bad mood and wanted to drink some alcohol to ease her depression, so she nodded. Anna had the waiter bring a dozen beers, opened one and set it in front of Xiao Yu, then opened one for herself, "Come, let's toast to our reunion."
Xiao Yu raised her beer bottle and clinked it against hers. She gulped down more than half of it in one go, which left Anna a bit stunned at her reckless drinking, "Xiao Yu, do you have something on your mind?"
Xiao Yu ate in silence, her stomach was full but her heart felt empty, as if something was missing. She picked up the beer, drinking it in big mouthfuls.
