My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

After calming down, I took two steps further and walked slowly along the shopping district.

When I passed by a cafe, I was attracted by the strong coffee aroma. I went inside and sat down at a random table. I then ordered a cup of hot Americano coffee with half sugar.

Only Hendrix could drink black coffee without sugar.

After much contemplation, I dialed lan's number.

A few seconds later, I finally heard lan's familiar voice, "Arianna? How have you been?"

"I'm alright. You're still awake at this time?" I didn't expect the phone call to actually go through.

"I'm at war," lan said.

"What?" I was confused for a moment. I haven't heard anything about a military operation happening in Mesville recently.

"Haha, nothing. What about you? What can I do for you?" lan knew me very well.
