About 20 minutes later, Luo Xinlin pressed the doorbell at Ke Yu's house.
When Ke Yu opened the door in a hurry, Luo Xinlin slipped off her shoes with practiced ease, and handed the iced Americano she had brought over to Ke Yu.
"I added three packets of sugar to yours, but I wasn't sure about your brother's taste, so I just made his the same as yours."
"It's no..." Ke Yu began, but suddenly she saw a shadow flash by, as Ke Jin swiftly took the coffee from Xinlin's hands, saying, "No problem, anything Xinlin brings is sweet, even without sugar."
This comment earned Ke Yu a vigorous roll of her eyes: "Gross."
Xinlin stood still, smiling softly, and then asked, "So, Yu, what's so urgent that you asked me to come over today?"
Normally, when the two girlfriends agreed to visit each other's home, they would let each other know in advance, and it had always been like this for many years.
But today Ke Yu had simply said 'Come over to my place to hang out' and left it at that.
