Revenge

Amanda’s coughing subsided in the face of Aaron Gu's sarcasm. "What are you doing here?" she blurted out.

Aaron Gu looked at her coldly and asked: "What? Is this your shop? Em?"

He was obviously very unhappy, and there was a chill in his tone.

Oh, yeah, Amanda had died. So Aaron was not here for her; and sitting across him was not Amanda but the teenager girl, Mia, who had been fucking with him last night and this morning; and Aaron Gu was as cold and ruthless as he always had been, not even to his little girlfriend.

Night closed in; outside the peaceful snack bar was a noisy and bustling world they all came from; everything was still the same as yesterday, as years ago; Aaron Gu was sitting across her ordering his sweet jelly; but he was not that young sunshine boy any more and she was not Amanda; he could never see her face again, even if he wanted...

Amanda smiled self-mockingly, lowered her head again, and continued to sip at her bowl of spicy beancurd jelly.
