Xia was done with her shoot for the day. She agreed to meet her brother at the Chinese restaurant that they both loved so much. When she got there, he was waiting for her right outside.

"Hey, Meimei. You look great." He greeted as he took in her outfit.

"Thank you, Ahia. It's a present from the brand. I get to keep it." Xia happily said. They both entered the shop. And Ah Si patted the guy who was standing by the counter on the shoulder. The guy looked at them and was about to react when Ah Si hurriedly covered his mouth, signaling him to be quiet. Ah Si and Xia approached the woman who was busy wiping tables. Ah Si jumped at her and she hurriedly turned around.

"Ah Si! Xia! You guys are back in London!" She excitedly said.

"Yes. We're here to have some food." Ah Si told her.

"We're not open now. No food for you guys." The old woman teased them.

"Yue, you can cook for us." Xia requested, using her puppy dog eyes on the woman as Ah Si playfully swung her hand back and forth.

"Pretty please?" Ah Si said as he grabbed her right arm and hugged it to him.

"Please, Yue?" Xia did the same with her left arm.

"Okay. I'll set it up for you guys." She told them with a happy laugh as she led them to sit on the table she had been cleaning. Once the food was served, she sat across from them.

"I haven't seen you since you guys started college. Xia, are you still in the same year as your brother?" Yue asked and Xia shook her head.

"I graduated business administration after 2 years, I'm currently in my second year of medicine." Xia told her.

"That's so amazing. It's been four years, right?" She asked again.

"Yes. I've been longing for your cooking. But Xia here has her skills in the kitchen down to a pat." Ah Si bragged. The last dish was then served.

"These are all you guys' favorite dishes. Kung Pao chicken, braised eggplant, and sweet and sour pork ribs. Dandan noodles, too." Yue pointed out all the dishes she prepared for the siblings.

"I'm starting to drool now." Ah Si said.

"You guys have grown up so much. When your mom first brought you guys to London, Ah Si was only six and Xia was four. You guys didn't have money and you were in front of our restaurant trembling with hunger. What a poor sight. But, you guys were so cute, especially Xia." Yue recalled.

"Good thing we met you, Yue." Xia answered with a charming smile.

"After you both had my cooking, you guys refused to go home. Your parents were so worried. They looked all over London. The police almost brought me in." Yue told them.

"We couldn't help ourselves. Our parents were always busy and took us all around the world. It was so irritating. By the way, our mom never cooked for us. Xia learned how to just so she could do it for me." Ah Si revealed.

"I'm glad you guys like my food. You're always welcome here." Yue told the both of them.

"Thank you, Yue. You're the best." Xia told her.
