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.

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

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...
