When Chinese flatmate got home in the evening we had another conversation using the online translator.

周一至周五七点半到下午五点半，因为在弟弟家玩了，所以才回来的晚，有什么需要？我可以帮？在这里生活的习惯吗

Monday to Friday, half past seven to half past five p.m., because his brother home to play, so just come back later, what need?I can help?Habits of living here

还不错反正也没事做不累就行我这两天去陪我嫂子所以不会在这里他自己在家里还有小宝宝等回我就过去，今天晚上我去他那睡觉

Anyway, nothing too bad on the line I do not tired the past two days so it will not accompany my wife here, there is his own baby at home, so back to me in the past, this evening I went to his bed

Eventually I was able to determine from a few more translation exchanges that she was telling me her school timetable, and the reason she does not come home straight after school is because she goes to see her brother.She was asking if there is anything I need her to change (habits of living here) and I asked her again to stop leaving the windows open.I asked if there is anything she needs me to change and she said no.She also explained that she goes to see her brother because his wife is pregnant so she goes there to help out.All a lot more innocent than it originally seemed!

I also decided it was time to stop calling her Chinese flatmate.So I have given her the English name Poppy.Her Chinese name had a 'ping ping' sound to it and she was wearing a black and red jacket.That's all the inspiration I needed.I showed her some pictures of gorgeous Poppy fields, and a painting my artistic sister Christina http://www.christinaashmanart.com/#/floral-collection/4540426270 has done of a Poppy.Chinese flatmate, I mean Poppy, was very pleased to be named after something so beautiful.
