Revenge

C City was not strange to Amanda. She came a long way to the food street outside the south gate of Jinghua University, where all kinds of snacks across the nation could be found. She was especially familiar with this place.

"A bowl of beancurd jelly, please!" Said Amanda to the busy chef, who was also the owner of the snack bar, as she sat down at a roadside stand in the twilight of the city.

The chef looked up and shouted at a distance: "You want it salty or sweet?"

Amanda paused for a moment and said, "Spicy!"

Well, people from different places loved beancurd jelly in different tastes; so “spicy” was also not a surprise to the owner at all; Amanda looked around; the small bar were crowded with people, some students and some tourists from other places...Time flied, but it seemed that nothing had changed within this small bar. She found it a bit difficult to differentiate between “Amanda” and “Mia”.

Beancurd jelly was soon served; Amanda and her stomach cannot wait any longer. Placing more spices into the bowl, she picked up the spoon and sipped at the amazing soup of it; the hotness made her coughing and tearing; the red oil splashed on her white T-shirt...

The girl sitting across her was amazed by her gobbling the spicy jelly like that; she handed her a tissue and asked: “Are you okay?”

It took Amanda a while to realize she was asking her. She politely took the tissue and smiled back at her. "I am ok. Thank you." Her eyes were blurred by the steam.
