As they chatted and walked, Martin Fernandez went into the school store and bought two bottles of water, unscrewing the cap and handing one to her.
"Thank you." Sarah Joseph accepted it gladly, realizing they'd been talking for quite a while and she was indeed a little thirsty.
However, when she took the bottled water, she noticed it was actually warm, which surprised her a bit.
People in Country Y aren't as fond of drinking hot water as people back home are. Finding hot water outside isn't easy, let alone having heated drinks and bottled water during the colder seasons like back home.
Martin seemed to notice her surprise and explained, "The store owner's wife is from our country, so they provide hot water and heated bottled water, which is why all the school compatriots love shopping here."
"The supermarket owner is quite romantic." From this little detail, Sarah could imagine how considerate he was toward his wife.
