"My name is Chen Ning,”my upstairs neighbor introduced herself while we were walking back to our place.
"My name is Driver. Are you from Sichuan?”I asked.
"I came from Chang Shou (Longevity), same village of Jodie. Do you know everybody in this town call you Yan Jing (spectacles)?”she chuckled.
She looked like an innocent little girl when she smiled. Without any makeup on her face, she looked much more younger than the first time I saw her.
"You seem to know a lot about me, little girl, ”I said.
"Don't call me little girl. I am already 16 years old. Maggie told me everything about you,”she giggled.
"You work at the hair salon?”I asked.
"No, I work at the karaoke in the hotel across the street. Just spent a night with a middle-aged HK people like you over there,”she replied.
"Well, nice to meet you,”I said and pressed the doorbell of my home.
"Can I play with Maggie when you're not here?”she asked.
"Sure. Why not? Anytime you like,”I said.
I would have said no if I knew that little girl was going to ruin my relationship with Maggie. But how could I know? Would it make any differences if my answer was no?
"Thank you, Yan Jing, goodbye,”she said happily and went upstairs.
"Lo Kung, who did you talk with just now?”Maggie asked when she opened the door.
"Chen Ning, our upstairs neighbor. Don't you know her?”I said.
"Of course, I know her. I've played mahjong with her at the store for several times. But you'd better stay away from this girl,”she warned me.
"Don't be so jealous, Maggie. I just ran into her at the store when buying the tampon for you.”I said and handed her the tampon.
"I'm not jealous. But don't let her innocent face fool you. She's a sly bastard. She cheats on the mahjong table all the time. And you know what? An old man from Hong Kong likes her so much that he rents the place for her, gives her 5000 bucks a month and brings her gifts every time he comes to visit her. And yet she still works at the karaoke and sleeps with her customers almost every night,”she said.
"How do you know all these things about her?”I wondered.
"We usually talk about men during the mahjong game. Don't you guys talk about women when you're playing mahjong?”she said.
"And you told her everything about me as well?”I asked.
"No. I have never told her anything about you. We just talk about our customers...no,...her customers...hey....where's our breakfast?”her face suddenly turned red.
"I forgot to buy breakfast. Did you tell her my nickname is Yan Jing?”I just wanted her to tell me the truth.
"No. Yan Jing!? I don't even know you have a nickname like that. Hey, I am starving. Can you go downstairs again and buy us something to eat?”she literally dragged me out of our home.
Yan Jing?! What a funny name!
I laughed to myself when I went downstairs to buy her breakfast.
I didn’t returned until dinnertime.
