Over the weekend, Xiao Xian dragged Yiyi along, with Professor Rock hosting, to a Chinese restaurant located in New York's Chinatown.
Hearing that they could eat authentic Chinese food, Yiyi was thrilled.
The cafeteria at Cornell University is quite international, and in recent years with the increase of Chinese students, there is even a special Chinese restaurant inside. However, it mostly serves Guangdong cuisine, which is a bit too oily and sweet for Xiao Xian and Yiyi, who are used to Northern dishes.
"Wasn't it said that the professor who brought you here was very difficult to deal with? Why suddenly the good intention to invite us for a meal?" Yiyi had long wanted to visit Chinatown. Her English wasn't great yet, and in the rare biological research lab, she could only communicate with the professor responsible for her with body language. Being surrounded by Chinese again was an indescribable happiness.
