We met right after I got off the plane. We had hu (a thick, mushy local dish), stinky tofu, and chestnut cakes at Yongtai Garden, and your younger sister was with us too.

I brought a waxberry and lychee cake. We sat in the cinema lobby, drinking Guming (a popular Chinese bubble tea brand) and chatting. Later, we went to Popmilk and ordered the chocolate flavor there. It was also at Popmilk that I first had the idea to write something for you, so I took your phone.

Now I’ve finished watching the videos you recorded with my phone when you were bored—how can you be so cute!!!!!! Yet you didn’t even get suspicious that day. After that, we went shopping at Metro (a renowned international hypermarket chain). Shopping at the supermarket is really one of the most fun things to do! We had dinner at Pizza Hut in the evening, and then rode e-bikes home together.

We had the food from that alley I’d been craving for ages. I waited in line while you went to get your hair washed. The army stew was absolutely delicious too, and the corn pancake you ordered was simply amazing—how come I never knew this restaurant had such tasty dishes before! In the afternoon, we went to your place again, and I took videos of you unboxing your items. Once you finished doing your makeup, we went to Baolong to do diamond painting in the afternoon; we made the cute Vex and Kitty designs. In the evening, we celebrated your birthday in advance—I bought you a bouquet of flowers, and we took beautiful photos. Yet again, we had to say goodbye.

We went to the trail of Baiyun Mountain—we’d been wanting to go there for ages! We really walked all the way around the mountain, and while we walked, we tried to figure out which building was which. After going down the mountain, we bought a cup of green grass jelly that tasted like it had gone bad; later, we got a new good one. You bought a bowl of bozai gao (a traditional Cantonese steamed rice cake), and that was my first time trying it. After that, we went to the night market at Tengda Center. You said you’d seen egg waffles with Portuguese tarts there before—I never thought you’d remember that all this time. We finally got to eat them, and they were really delicious!
