Hello, again.

Invitation

"Um, are you gonna give me my ID or nah?" Haruka laughed at his expressions. "Oh, sorry. I'm a littleee busy." Xingqiu responded, handing her the card. Haru placed a candy in-front of him, "Here," She smiled, "It's strawberry flavored!" "Ah, thanks. I'm actually a little hungry.." He picked up the candy and started unwrapping it. "Mhm, see ya tomorrow then!" She waved at him, heading toward the exit.
Chongyun sent back a rolling eyes emoji. I mean, he did roll his eyes. A honk from the car behind him interrupted his daydreaming. "Oh shoot.." He turned right onto a parking lot, where the workshop was supposedly located.
"Hello!" Chongyun yelled out as he entered through the door. "Oh, hello!" A worker welcomed him, leaning on the counter. Yun approached him, "So, my screen cracked. The computer itself is working fine though, I just need to change the screen." He explained as he took out his laptop. "Ahh, I see. Easy fix. I can have by tomorrow if you'd like?" The worker smiled, looking at the computer screen. "Please! When can I pick it up?" "Hmm, 2ish?" "Alright!" "Okay," The worker grabbed the laptop, "I'll charge you tomorrow. See you!" Chongyun smiled a thank you, "Goodbye!" He left the store. The shop was located in one of those outside malls, so he decided to look around. There was a small grocery store, which was pretty convenient since he barely had anything but microwaved food.
He made his way through the store, occasionally grabbing a few things like yogurt or pasta. He finally reached the snack isle and reached for some chips on the top shelf. As he grabbed it, a girl beside him dropped one of her snack bags. "Oh, let m-" Chongyun managed to say before being interrupted, "CHONGYUN?!" The girl screamed out, the workers passing by jus gave her glares. "XIANGLING?!" He gave the same response. "Oh. my. God!" She shrieked, reaching for a hug. Yun returned the hug and reached down for her bag of chips, "Here." "Thank youuu." She grabbed the bag, "What the hell are you doing here!?" She couldn't help but smile. "I'm going to college here. Though I had no idea you guys lived here, and even less that Xingqiu would be in my school." Yun shrugged. "Xingqiu knows you're here!? And he didn't tell me!?" Chongyun laughed, "Well, he doesn't exaaaactly know.. Don't tell him yet!" Xiangling rose her eyebrows, "Uhm.. Sure?" Chongyun smiled, "You look so much older now.. I remember when you were just 6.." Xiangling laughed, "You too though. And, you should shave." She pointed at his chin. Yun rolled his eyes, "Are you still into cooking?" "Obviously! Omg! I haveee to invite you home so you can taste my cooking." She seemed confident. "Deal. I also miss your mom." "Oh, come today! Pleaseee." "Umm.." He thought for a moment, I mean he didn't really have food at home, "Sure. What time?" He checked his watch. "Hmm... In likeee 2 hours? Come at 6!" She smiled, "I'm gonna go checkout. See you!" She walked off. "Alrigh---" Wait. Is Xingqiu gonna be there? Well... Obviously.. Eh, they were gonna have to face eachother anyway, might aswell get it done soon. He started walking over to the self-checkout line. Should he bring a small gift?
