In a beautifully elegant restaurant on Bell and Drum Tower South Street, the owner issued an order as soon as he saw that the five most popular mascots from the square had arrived at his establishment, prompting the waitstaff to bustle about in an orderly fashion.
In the blink of an eye, balloons were tacked to the wall, and a huge Happy Birthday poster was hung.
At a glance, it was already the scene of a small party.
Dad ordered the dishes, while Mom took care of the little girl.
When excited screams rose, the young couple finally realized belatedly what was happening.
The five figures before them weren't runaway circus mascots at all, okay?
"Sister Ling, I knew you looked familiar, but I just couldn't place you. Sister Ling, our whole family really loves you... Brother Fei, Brother Chen, Ye Wan, Qingshu... hello!"
"Hello, hello!"
"Hello..."
Warm and relaxed, the lunch was enjoyed by hosts and guests alike.
