Su Xi, 58 days shy of his 19th birthday, sat in the first-class cabin of flight UA857, waiting for takeoff as he toyed with his incredibly flexible fingers. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face as he recalled the incredible events of the previous day.
Yesterday afternoon, Su Xi and Huang Xiaoman went to the same Chinese restaurant where they had first met. When Su Xi first laid eyes on Huang Xiaoman, she had just arrived from China. Su Xi still remembered that she had been wearing a pair of red bell-bottoms with "Meteor Garden" written on them. At the time, her English wasn't very good, and a waiter at the restaurant was giving her a hard time.
The waiter, who was also Chinese, deliberately spoke to her in English and accused her of knocking over some tableware.
