An Ning arrived right on time and found the barbecue place Hei Niu had mentioned. Hei Niu was already there waiting.
"Over here!"
Hei Niu stood up and waved. An Ning rode her bike over, parked it on the side, locked it up, and walked over to Hei Niu.
"You're here early."
"Well, I'm the one treating, so I have to get here early. It'd be bad form otherwise."
An Ning sat down across from Hei Niu. Hei Niu held up a bottle of beer, and An Ning nodded.
Hei Niu took a pair of disposable chopsticks, pried at the bottle cap, and with a PSSST, it popped off.
"Impressive!"
Hei Niu handed the beer bottle to An Ning.
"What, have you switched from being Li Kui to Lin Daiyu lately?"
An Ning nearly spat out her beer at Hei Niu's quip.
Hei Niu grinned smugly from across the table. Their beer bottles clinked together, kicking off their feast of roast lamb and beer.
"The lamb here is delicious."
"Come here often?"
