Chapter 6

‘Hey Aaron.’

          

‘Hey.’

          

It is nice to hear his voice, it’s like music in my ears.

          

‘How’s life in England?’

          

‘Good.’

          

‘Do you miss my egg tarts?’

          

‘To be frank that’s not the thing that I miss the most.’

          

‘Then what is?’ I ask

          

‘You, silly.’ My cheeks are warm, and my mouth curls up unconsciously.

          

‘Hey do you remember when you talk to me about the conflicts in Hong Kong?’

          

‘Yeah.’

          

‘I know how to answer now.’

          

‘Ok, tell me.’ He answers, sounding agitated.

          

‘That’s because nowadays people stop smiling at the simplest things. They want things that are bigger and better all the time without taking the time to smile at one another, and love their family and friends, especially in a fast-growing region like Pearl River Delta. It’s like they take their relationships for granted. They focus on their phones and computers and work without realizing the importance of love in life. They stopped smiling all the time. But this my love, can be solved with time, so don’t worry.’

          

‘Wow… still the smart one aren’t you. So, what about you? Will you stop smiling at me, will you take me for granted?’

          

The answer doesn’t even need to be processed by my brain.

          

‘Never.’
