As usual, I went to breakfast around 8 am after I got up in the hotel. When I buttoned myself into an elevator and I saw a man was inside , he is a foreign guy and from the lighting number , he was going to the first floor to check out as he also got a big suitcase with him.

“ ni hao”  He greeted me in Chinese once I got in.

“ Morning” I smiled back for polite.

“ Good bye.”  I got off on the second floor where has the restaurant.

“ Zaijian”  He was also very polite.

When I just started to serve myself some food , I saw this guy walking into the restaurant too with his luggage.

“ You did not  know the restaurant is on the second floor, did you?” I  asked him , when he was standing next to me picking up the food.

“  Yes , I did. But I never take breakfast.” He smiled.

I said nothing.

“  Do you mind we share one table?”  He asked .

“  It is fine with me.” I replied.

We sat opposite to each other and started to eat, he only got an egg and a slice of bread on his plate.

He pulled out a card from the pocket and wrote a cell phone number on it , then handed it over to me.

“ I never take breakfast . My flight is at 10 am  and I was about to get into the taxi. But I was really attracted by your smile in the elevator. I know it might be very silly as it is only 2 minutes and we do not know each other. Here is my name card with my MSN and telephone number. Can we be friends?”

I smiled again and took over that card and said nothing.

He ate a little bit and stood up to say goodbye as he might really miss the flight.
