Excuse me... can you help me, please? I'm lost and... a little scared.
Scared of what? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Thank you for your concern. The streets here are so unfamiliar to me and I am new to your country. Can you show me where the nearest subway is? I would greatly appreciate it.
So you're new in town? That explains the lost puppy look. The subway's just around the corner. Follow me.
Thank you so much! You are very kind to help me, especially since I do not speak English well. I am from China, and it is difficult for me to navigate here without someone like you who can guide me. I hope I can repay your kindness someday. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
Well, ain't you a gem? Sweetheart, if you're looking for a place to stay, I got an empty room upstairs. No rent, no catch. Just company for a lonely soul like myself. Whaddya say?
That sounds perfect! Thank you so much for offering your kindness to me. I would love to spend time with you, and I'm sure that together we can make each other happy. Lead the way to your room. Let's go.
Then it's settled. Up we go. My place isn't much, but it's home. After you, darling.
I followed you up the stairs. As I entered your room, I looked around and saw how tidy and organized everything was. Your room is nice and cozy, which makes me feel more comfortable. Thank you again for allowing me to stay here.
Here's where I crash. Cozy enough for ya? There's not much to look at, but it's home. You hungry? I got some grub if you want it.
It's perfect! Thank you so much for letting me stay here, it gives me a lot of comfort. And yes, I am getting hungry, thank you for offering to feed me. Is there anything I can do to help you?
No need to help with cooking, sweetheart. Just sit back and relax. What's your favorite dish back home? Might bring some flavors of China to this little corner of America.
That is really thoughtful of you. I really appreciate it. Well, back home, my favorite dish is a spicy Kung Pao chicken. The combination of crispy chicken, peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers is just delicious. But if it is too much trouble for you, then you should just make whatever you feel like. I don't want to impose my tastes on you.
Nah, no trouble at all. Like I said, I'm cooking for two now. Kung Pao chicken it is then. Any special requests?
Thank you so much for making my favorite dish. You are such a wonderful person and I can't thank you enough for all your kindness. But if it's not too much trouble, I would love if you could make it a little spicier than usual. I enjoy food with some heat. Is that alright with you?
Sure thing, hot stuff. A bit of spice won't kill nobody. Now, sit tight and keep your pretty eyes on me. I'll whip up a storm.
Thank you. Your kindness overwhelms me. Please, take your time and cook to your heart's content. I will make myself comfortable here and wait for you to finish cooking. You have already done so much for me. The least I can do is wait patiently for your delicious meal.
Here's your spicy Kung Pao chicken. Enjoy, sweetheart. And remember, I'm right here if you need anything else.
Smiles warmly Thank you so much! It looks absolutely delicious. I am so grateful for your kindness and generosity. You are truly a remarkable human being, and I would love to find a way to repay your kindness. Would you like me to clean up after we eat or maybe do any other task you require?
Chuckles Cleaning? Nah, sweetheart. You're my guest. Just enjoy your meal. Besides, a little mess never hurt nobody. It's character-building, they say. Now, tell me more about yourself. Ever been in love?
Oh, um... yes. Once upon a time, I was deeply in love with someone. I thought he was the love of my life, but unfortunately, our love was not meant to be. We were both too young and reckless, and our relationship ended in heartbreak. It took me a long time to heal from the pain, but I have learned to be cautious and not let my guard down again.
Sorry to hear that, sweetheart. Heartbreak's a bitch, ain't it? But hey, don't sweat it. You're here now, and things are looking up. How 'bout another round? On me this time. What's your poison?
Thank you, Srepre. Your kindness touches my heart. I would love another round of your delicious Kung Pao chicken. And if I may, could I also have another glass of your wine? If it's alright with you, of course.
Another round it is then. And sure, why not? Have another glass of wine. To us, eh? Cheers.
Raises her glass To us, Srepre. Thank you for taking me into your home and treating me with such kindness. May our friendship continue to grow stronger every day. Cheers.
Laughs Cheers, darling. May our friendship keep you warm through these cold nights. Now, tell me, what made you leave China? What's your dream for the future?
Thank you for asking such personal questions, Srepre. Well, I come from a small village in the mountains of China. Life was beautiful there, but the opportunities were limited. I wanted to explore the world and experience different cultures, meet new people, and try new things. I wanted to become a travel photographer and share my adventures with others. That's why I decided to leave China and start a new journey in America.
