Starting from Yukas Yavi and then to Sheila, Lin Dingqiang and Huo Jinwei can be regarded as crossing half the world if they are counted from the place of departure.

In this journey, the two of them have gained a lot, in addition to the beautiful scenery along the way, but also the hearts of the two of them.

Returning to the place where he was injured again, Lin Dingqiang felt that all this was like a dream, no matter how he chose, he would eventually return here.

It's just that the people around me are no longer the same as they used to be, and the purpose of the trip is very different from the original.

In this part of the journey, he is no longer the one who plays the chase, he enjoys life and the fun of traveling, and all of this is given by Huo Jinwei, who has been paying silently.

Just after 5 p.m., the white-purple Challenger 850 landed smoothly at Athens International Airport.

Lin Dingqiang's cello practice was not very good, and until the first minute before getting off the stage, he was still practicing fingering under the guidance of Huo Jinwei, using cramming to memorize the first eight beats of the piece to be performed tonight in his brain and muscles.

"Is it okay!" Lin Dingqiang said confidently: "I think it may be yellow." ”

Huo Jinwei puffed up, "No problem, you can rest assured." Besides, even if the melody you pull out is really not so pleasant, no one will say anything. The most important thing is to have fun. ”

"Oh, that's right. Lin Dingqiang asked, "What kind of prelude is the eight beats you taught me?

Huo Jinwei smiled and said, "You'll know later!"

"Does this still have to be kept secret?" Lin Dingqiang frowned, "It's okay, anyway, tonight's protagonist is you, and I am a green leaf." Not to mention, I'm really looking forward to your performance!"

Huo Jinwei looked at Lin Dingqiang strangely, and asked with her hands behind her back, "Who said I was going to play the piano?"

————

Lin Dingqiang was stunned, "Then you don't play the piano, what are you performing?"

"It's still the same sentence just now, you'll know later!"

The two went through immigration procedures, and as soon as they walked out of the gate, they saw someone holding a sign with their names written on it.

Lin Dingqiang fixed his eyes and saw that it was Wang Jingbo, the attaché of the embassy.

However, in this memory, Wang Jingbo didn't remember Lin Dingqiang, who had been robbed in Athens and was injured, but just watched the handsome men and beautiful women appear, and remembered Zhang Qiyue's description, so he smiled tentatively.

"Mr. Lin? Miss Huo?"

The two nodded, and Huo Jinwei asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the attaché of the embassy, Wang Jingbo. Ambassador Zhang asked me to come and pick you up. Wang Jingbo said politely: "The car is already waiting outside." ”

Lin Dingqiang pretended to be surprised and looked at Wang Jingbo, "By the way, I have something to give you." ”

Wang Jingbo asked curiously: "Something?"

"Your mother asked me to pass it on. Lin Dingqiang took out the envelope that he had carried all the way in his suit and handed it to Wang Jingbo, "She said that it was a personal letter and didn't want to give it to you through the embassy." I haven't opened it either, so let's see for yourself. ”

Wang Jingbo looked at Lin Dingqiang in surprise, "Do you know my mother?"

"Yes, Consul Xiang Liping. Lin Dingqiang nodded, "When we came, we had a one-sided relationship. ”

Wang Jingbo took the envelope with both hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, my mother and I haven't talked on the phone for a long time, let alone written a letter." ”

Lin Huo and the others glanced at each other, and felt that Wang Jingbo had something to say, and it seemed that every family had a scripture that was difficult to read.

"Let's get in the car!" Wang Jingbo put away the letter and said, "Ambassador Zhang, overseas Chinese, Chinese businessmen, and foreign friends have all begun to enter. The show for both of you is the first after the opening dance. The band also adjusted accordingly according to Miss Huo's request. ”

The three of them walked quickly towards the outside of the terminal, and Huo Jinwei said as she walked: "It's too troublesome for you, thank you." ”

"No trouble, it's my job. ”

Wang Jingbo drove a Subaru, which also has a local license plate, and after getting in the car, Huo Jinwei asked, "Mr. Wang, which two VIPs are the opening dancers today?"

"It's the daughter of a local shipping owner in Sheila and her fiancé. Wang Jingbo said truthfully: "Miss Huo, you don't need to call me sir." Just call me Jingbo. Ambassador Zhang has instructed me to accompany you two throughout your trip in the next few days. ”

Huo Jinwei smiled: "Thank you Ambassador Zhang for your kindness." However, Ding Qiang and I had already discussed it before we came, and we will fly to the United States tomorrow afternoon. When I met Ambassador Zhang, I explained it to her personally. ”

Wang Jingbo nodded, "Okay." ”

The familiar street scene met Lin Dingqiang's eyes, and he was very familiar with Sheila compared to the strangeness along the way.

Especially when he passed by the regional general hospital where he had been lying for more than ten days, Lin Dingqiang couldn't help laughing.

Huo Jinwei saw Lin Dingqiang's happy appearance, turned her head and asked, "What did you see?

Lin Dingqiang waved his hand and subconsciously said, "I've been here." ”

"Oh?" Huo Jinwei pondered for a while, "It's not surprising, people sometimes have this illusion, obviously they haven't been here, but when they see some scenes, they subconsciously feel that they have been there." ”

Lin Dingqiang came back to his senses, "Yes, sometimes I feel this way. ”

About twenty minutes later, the vehicle drove into the embassy. Under the leadership of Wang Jingbo, the two came to the reception room again.

Huo Jinwei saw all kinds of badges under the glass cabinet at a glance, "Ding Qiang, it turns out that Aunt Zhang has so many important identities!"

Lin Dingqiang looked at the environment that was not a dream, and recalled all the things he experienced more than two months ago, and everything seemed to have returned to the original starting point.

"Ah, yes. Lin Dingqiang said thoughtfully: "There are quite a lot of identities." ”

"You don't even know if you haven't even looked at it?" Huo Jinwei turned around suspiciously and looked at Lin Dingqiang, "Ding Qiang, I think something is wrong with you." ”

"It's nothing!" Lin Dingqiang quickly retracted his thoughts, he thought he could accept all this calmly, but after he really revisited, the original memories came back like a tide.

"Something was wrong with you as soon as you got to Sheila. Huo Jinwei took two steps towards Lin Dingqiang, "Say, do you have any secrets here!"

"Stop. Lin Dingqiang lied: "It's the first time I've come here, and if I don't believe me, I'll show you my passport." I'm just a little nervous. ”

Huo Jinwei smiled: "You've seen so many winds and waves, why are you nervous?"

"So I'm sure!" Lin Dingqiang continued: "But I'm going to play the cello later, I'm afraid I'll pull your pianist back." ”

Huo Jinwei punched Lin Dingqiang, "You can speak!"

And at this moment, Zhang Qiyue also came to the room.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Huo, long time no see. Zhang Qiyue said enthusiastically: "It should be more than 20 days since we met in the capital, right?"

"Aunt Zhang. The two nodded and said hello, and Huo Jinwei continued: "Yes, it's been almost this long." ”

"Have you had fun all the way?" Zhang Qiyue invited the two to sit down, and asked with a smile: "I heard Lao Guan say that you two have been to a lot of places!"

"We almost crossed the Eurasian continent and saw all kinds of scenery along the way. Huo Jinwei said with satisfaction: "Moreover, I also found someone I don't want to miss in my life." ”

When they were in the racecourse, in the face of the dilemma of chaotic mandarin duck spectrum, Guan Lan and Huo Jinwei also strongly denied it, Zhang Qiyue didn't expect that after a short period of time, Huo Jinwei would admit it so generously.

She saw a strong love in Huo Jinwei's eyes, and it was a kind of trust in Lin Dingqiang beside her.

"That's good!" Zhang Qiyue said happily: "It seems that my words came true?"

"Not yet!" Huo Jinwei replied truthfully, "But it's almost there." ”

This answer made Zhang Qiyue a little confused, but she didn't delve into it and stood up, "Then you guys prepare first, compared to the opening dance, I'm looking forward to the wonderful performance of the two of you!"

Wang Jingbo knocked on the door at this time, he walked up with some snacks, Zhang Qiyue said: "You guys pad your stomach first, the dinner will start in more than an hour." ”

"Good. ”

"Then I'll go down first, and I'll see you later. ”

After the two sent Zhang Qiyue away, Lin Dingqiang handed Sheila's rare peach cake to Huo Jinwei's side, "Eat some, you haven't eaten since noon." ”

Huo Jinwei shook her head, "I'm not hungry, besides, how can I wear this dress if the heat is so high?"

As she spoke, Huo Jinwei took out the dress she brought, "You turn your head, I won't call you, you are not allowed to turn back." ”

"Do you want to change clothes here?" Lin Dingqiang said in surprise, "Why don't I go out." ”

"No, I don't. Huo Jinwei replied firmly: "I believe you will not look back." ”

Lin Dingqiang turned around, he heard the sound of the zipper being opened, Huo Jinwei methodically changed the clothes she bought from the boutique, although she had already worn them once in Bali, however, she asked the crew to find a professional laundry to iron it flat, and now it still looks like new.

"That's it. Huo Jinwei turned her back, "Help me zip up." ”

With the experience of the last time, Lin Dingqiang also found the position of the zipper with ease, and after helping Huo Jinwei pull it on, "Let's go down now?"

"Don't worry," Huo Jinwei said calmly, "I'll touch up my makeup first." ”

About fifteen minutes later, the costumed duo walked to the ballroom.

The mature and temperamental big waves added a touch of charm to Huo Jinwei, and she took extremely firm and confident steps, holding Lin Dingqiang's arm and appearing in the crowd.

The opening dance was nearing the end, and Lin Dingqiang saw the two dancing in the middle of the dance floor, and remembered that he and Xin Qing had also danced together here.

However, this memory is now unique to him. Looking at the familiar venue, he even doubted for a moment whether the decision he had made was really the right one.

When the skirt fell and the music stopped, the guests applauded, and Lin Huo and the others knew that they were about to play themselves.

The staff moved the cello and stool that Lin Dingqiang wanted to use to the middle of the venue, Lin Dingqiang thought that he would stay in an inconspicuous corner with the band, but the current arrangement was nothing more than to execute him on the spot.

"Where am I sitting?" asked Lin Dingqiang in a low voice.

Huo Jinwei smiled: "Scared?"

"It's a bit empty. ”

"Don't be afraid, there is me!" Huo Jinwei smiled at Lin Dingqiang with confidence.

"I would like to invite our special guests for this gathering. The host introduced the two with 120,000 enthusiasm, "They are Mr. Lin Dingqiang, Chairman of Huaxia Rongshan Group, and Miss Huo Jinwei, the First Chairman of Huo's Foundation, who will jointly bring us a wonderful performance. ”

The spotlight accurately found the two people in the crowd, and everyone looked over.

Huo Jinwei took a breath and lightly touched Lin Dingqiang's elbow, "Let's go." ”

The two went to the venue of the performance in applause, and Lin Dingqiang came to the center of the stage first.

He still didn't know what Huo Jinwei was going to perform, he looked in the direction of the band, but there were already people sitting on the Steinway piano.

But Huo Jinwei disappeared.

About ten seconds later, Huo Jinwei came to Lin Dingqiang's side with the microphone and patted Lin Dingqiang's shoulder, "Let's start." ”

Lin Dingqiang took a deep breath, recalling the fingering taught by Huo Jinwei, the bow was already placed on the strings, and after silently counting three beats, the first note was played.

However, the tone of the cello was not so pleasant, and it was not even in tune, which made Lin Dingqiang panic.

Since the two did not have a rehearsal, even Huo Jinwei didn't know where the pitch of this cello was.

The audience was silent, and the spotlight above his head illuminated Lin Dingqiang clearly, and he even felt sweat on his back.

"It seems that this piano is not very familiar with our Chairman Lin!" Huo Jinwei picked up the microphone and resolved the embarrassment, "Please wait a moment, you see, Chairman Lin is nervous." ”

The audience erupted in laughter and applause, and they were all cheering for the witty and calm Huo Jinwei.

Huo Jinwei hurriedly adjusted the strings for Lin Dingqiang, and after confirming that it was correct, she nodded to Lin Dingqiang.

As soon as Lin Dingqiang raised his right hand, Huo Jinwei held his arm, and as soon as he turned around gorgeously, he integrated himself into Lin Dingqiang's arm and stood side by side with the upright cello.

From the side, Lin Dingqiang, who was about to pull the strings, held Huo Jinwei in his arms, and Huo Jinwei continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, Chairman Lin is not nervous now. ”

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed again.

Huo Jinwei patted Lin Dingqiang's arm, Lin Dingqiang took a deep breath again, sorted out his thoughts again, and slowly pulled the first eight beats.

The melodious and slightly jerky piano sound echoed in the banquet hall, but fortunately, after the first eight beats, the band joined in time, which made Lin Dingqiang feel relieved.

However, the more he listened to the melody behind, the more familiar he felt, and it wasn't until Huo Jinwei opened his mouth that he knew what the show was that had been in preparation for so long.

A low and gentle voice sounded in everyone's ears, Huo Jinwei held the microphone in one hand, lightly held Lin Dingqiang's arm holding the bow in the other, leaned the center of gravity of her body on Lin Dingqiang's shoulder, and slowly sang: "If I should stay......"
