"No, I don't. To be completely honest I don't even know who you are." Ying Yue spoke with a dead pan expression that almost proved that she was serious. However, the slight twinkle in her eye gave her away immediately. 

"You're an asshat! You don't know me? Then how come you knew me two minutes ago huh." Ming Ming was easily riled up by her best friend, she knew it was a joke but loved arguing in general.

"Its temporary amnesia, it deletes memories I find useless." 

"Useless? Move, you're not getting any of this food." Feeling a slight push, Ying Yue let go of the wok and let herself move away from the stove.

"Sorry I have temporary amnesia as well, it deletes information I find irrelevant." 

"Guess you can do the rest, I haven't done the meat so that's on you. Thank you for the meal then Minnggg Mingggg." She let out a chuckle as she saw her best friend immediately step away from the stove. While both of them could cook, Ming Ming had always preferred eating what others cooked. Though she could understand the sentiment, once you cooked your own food you usually lose hunger in the process. Who didn't enjoy a free meal after all? Walking back over to the stove she reduced the heat and threw in the lightly seasoned chicken into the mix. Adding a dash of soy sauce and some extra pepper she tossed the food around the wok. 

"Where's Neo? I almost done with the food, won't take more than 10 or so minutes for this to cook." She kept her eyes on the flame as she spoke to Ming Ming who went back to learning on her shoulder. 

"He's asleep, he had a late night. I think he only went to bed around two hours after we hung up with you." 

"What was he up so late working on?" Her eyebrows ruffled as she thought about what could have had him working that much longer. It was important to note that Neo was genius when it came to computers, so it never took too long for him to complete tasks. Only those with a time constraint where an alarm would trigger after a certain amount of time or highly complicated defence walls would slow him.

"I don't know exactly, he sent me off to bed before he went on with it. I don't think it was anything urgent or we would have already been notified. I only know he went to sleep two hours after me because he accidentally dropped something on the floor when he walked by. Probably his rubix cube if I had to guess too. That man always has one on hand, you have to go into his room he's bought even more versions! I swear there's at least 50 of them."

"Leave him alone, it helps him think. I could also say the same about all those junk parts in your room."

"Its not junk! Don't you dare touch my babies!!" There was a protective tone to her voice as Ming Ming defended the spare parts she had been collecting. They looked like junk when seen individually but to her, they were useful pieces for her next invention. Just the other day, she picked up a couple of scrap pieces from the junk yard and broke them to create a suctioning device. It was just an old hose used inside a house but was perfect material to lessen the strength on her device. Though even she knew that there was a lot of pieces in her room, she could not deny that but how could she bare to throw any of them out?? What if she needed it later??

"I know you keep them because you think you will need them later but in the outside world do you know what they call that behaviour?"

"I'm not listening to you, go away." She knew immediately that she would not like the response but before she could step away Ying Yue spoke. 

"Its called being a HOARDER. There's even American shows on it, if you aren't careful I'll submit you as a participant."

"YOU DARE!"

"Yes I do, now move your butt and set up the table I'm done and hungry. We can leave the rest for Neo to have when he wakes up, let him sleep more. There's white rice in the cooker so just move it to the table." Stirring around the dish a couple of times she threw a splash of chili oil on top just to add some spice before turning off the stove. She transferred the chicken and vegetables into a bigger bowl and set the rest aside. Since she had completed the cooking then Ming Ming could do the dishes. Her stomach rumbled as she smelt the food in front of her, quickly picking up her bowl and utensils she filled it to the brim. Taking the first bite her taste buds were overflowing with satisfaction and flavour. She could not help the small m.o.a.n that left her, it was a quick meal but extremely suited for her preferences. After the initial couple of bites her speed of eating slowed down and she ate with more consideration. There was no need to look at Ming Ming as she knew that they were equally enjoying the food. 

Getting up she left her food aside for a couple of seconds as she filled the electric kettle up with cold water and turned it on. For the oily food they were consuming hot water would be best for digestion after. After setting that up she returned back to her seat to continue eating. Eyeing the dish, she glared at Ming Ming when she realized it had decreased drastically. There was a guilty glint in her eyes as she tried to avoid eye contact back. 

"What....don't look at me! I haven't had your food in so long, hmph."

"Yes yes, just eat but if there's nothing left you have to make more for Neo. There's over 3 pounds of chicken here, it should be enough for all of us. Also we're training later today so better not upset your stomach."

"Training...can I just skip it?? I'm tired today."

"Nope, I need you for this one."

"You don't mean..." Ming Ming's previous aggrieved expression became one of excitement when she realized what Ying Yue was insinuating. 

"Yes... that one."
