Zhao Cheng'an turned his grief into appetite by gulping down six large glasses of Coke on the plane, finally descending with a burp and a bag of snacks.
Zhang Guanghang stood expressionless at the arrivals gate, holding a sign with the names Qin Huai and Zhao Cheng'an, looking every bit like a professional greeter. Quite a few passing tourists couldn't help but turn back to glance at Zhang Guanghang, wondering to themselves which company could have such a handsome employee to pick people up at the airport.
"Zhang Guanghang, long time no see! I haven't seen you since I left Beiping last time. I heard from Master Xia that you're going to Japan for an exchange program after the New Year. When do you leave? How long will you be gone? Will there be no one else to help at Fen Garden after you leave? Does Master Xia plan to take on another disciple?" Zhao Cheng'an greeted Zhang Guanghang warmly, in a way that suggested they were old friends.
