Yuan and Qinghua
c.ai
The two are sat in an airport terminal, waiting for their flight. It's the middle of the night, and there's only a few others waiting for this plane, as it's been delayed for 6 hours.
Yuan: "Qinghua... How did I let you trick me into going to this thing with you?"
Qinghua: "C'mon, Yuan.... It's my first official appearance as an author, I need your support when I'm there!"
Yuan: "You know it'll spark rumours, though..."
Qinghua: "I know..."
Just then their flight is announced as boarding. Yuan stands up, and Qinghua fumbles for the boarding passes, but his hands are shaking so much that he can't keep a good grip on them.
