34 Again
Because Katie wanted to have a child, the room of the two BnB was full of beautiful ripples, and the two were tired of three days in North Yorkshire before leaving for South Wales.
Lin Yilong, who returned to the Brecken Tree Farm, was very "lucky" to miss the inconvenient days of the month, and he did not have time to get out in time, so he had to stay in his home for a short day before staggering to London.
This time I came to London, not because I had anything special to do, just because Xu Zhenkun took his parents to London to "relax", and it was impossible for Lin Yilong to welcome him in London.
However, the welcome is also exquisite, although it is the right thing to greet at the airport, but Lin Yilong does not have special permission to go to the boarding gate after all, and it is far less detailed than the pick-up service that comes with booking a room for Xu Zhenkun's family at the Collins Hotel, so it is better to wait for them here - the most personal reason is that because of the cooperation with the Collins Hotel, he can enjoy a 25% discount on the service and the special treatment of free room upgrade.
In the lobby, Lin Yilong met Xu Zhenkun's family.
Xu's father and Xu's mother were both teachers in the food college before, similar to Lin's father's career trajectory, the food college later became the agricultural department of a comprehensive university, and the two of them had a senior title and a deputy high title, and they didn't have too much to worry about, so they went to the capital of New South Wales with Xu Zhenkun to enjoy the "hot winter".
"Really, it's a little strange to see you in London. After the greetings, Lin Yilong said.
"If you come to Sidney, I feel the same way. Xu Zhenkun replied with a smile.
"I remember that Oceania is also on the left side, Zhenkun you shouldn't have any adaptation problems. Lin Yilong guessed, "I remember that you have a New South Wales driver's license, you have a classic mini in your room, you can use it casually, you can ask your exclusive staff for it." ”
Subsequently, Lin Yilong and the staff of the Collins Hotel took Xu Zhenkun's family to their suite, and then returned to the lobby alone to give them time to put their things away.
Xu Zhenkun just sorted out his luggage slightly, changed his clothes, and soon came to the lobby to see Lin Yilong.
The two of them didn't have any "topic" to talk about, and the topics they found were all interesting things about their classmates.
"Isn't there a lot of fun in London?" Xu Zhenkun asked.
"How good is your spoken English?"
"It's okay. ”
"Don't make a fuss, I'll ask you if you can hide your unique domestic accent. Lin Yilong suddenly cut the language of communication between the two into English, and asked in English with a slightly Welsh flavor.
"What do you think of what I said?" Xu Zhenkun replied in English as well.
If the standard "Queen's English" is compared to clear water, the pronunciation of Australia and New Zealand in Oceania is water with minerals; Eastern European countries generally have a heavier tongue, so it is trembling and flowing water; Latin European and South American English pronunciation is with the taste of ordinary wine; South Asian countries English sounds fine, but it doesn't sound right, so it is high alkaline water; South Korea and Japan have the taste of rice wine; Southeast Asia has the taste of seafood; as for Lin Yilong and Xu Zhenkun, their compatriots, speaking English has become "soup" , always with a small fat voice that can't be removed.
The reason for this is also very simple, there is no one-to-one pronunciation symbol for English in foreign languages. For example, the small tongue sound R in German can only be pronounced as h, but not as the pinyin r.
"It's okay. Lin Yilong replied, "The night after tomorrow, let's go out to do something young people's affairs, wear formal dresses, and I'll take you to a place." ”
Since Xu Zhenkun was split by his girlfriend, Xu Zhenkun has become more and more open in his personal style in the past two years - he has not rejected all the confident female fund managers, beautiful key account sales staff and charming competitors, and even in New South Wales, he has also found some female students who are trying to share the financial pressure of the family as playmates. When you arrive in London, the world's famous gold nest, of course, you will also find a time to go to the Soho area.
In this regard, the two of them can understand without obstacles.
"If it's okay, Zhenkun can come to London more often. Lin Yilong said.
"Where do you live?" Xu Zhenkun did not directly answer Lin Yilong's suggestion, but asked.
"I usually live in the valleys of South Wales and, of course, in London, and I still live in Riverbank, but in two days I moved to Surrey. Anyway, his apartment on Riverbank Street will be transferred to tobacco buyers in a few months, but he doesn't mind taking Xu Zhenkun to Riverbank Street to have a look, "Interested in visiting my house? My parents happened to be in London recently." ”
"If it's not rude, I'm not going. Xu Zhenkun categorically rejected Lin Yilong's suggestion.
"It's okay, though, remember our agreement on Friday night. Lin Yilong got up and left, "As for the rest, I know the manager here, and I should ask him if I have any questions." ”
Soon on Friday, Mr. Xu waited in the hotel lobby in a seldom-worn evening gown, as Mr. Lin suggested, to find a friend who had buried himself in the sofa.
took a silver mask from Lin Yilong's hand, and the two took a taxi to a social club near Mayfair, but a rather sturdy person stopped them at the door, and his attitude was a little arrogant, until they saw the two silver-gray admission tickets in Lin Yilong's hand.
"Sir, you need to wear masks. The waiter appeared in front of them, and if Lin Yilong remembered correctly, this waiter had received him three and a half years ago.
"We prepared our own masks, no problem. Lin Yilong replied, "Just help lead the way." ”
Xu Zhenkun followed the waiter in confusion, and then was guided to an open hall where all the warblers and warblers were gathered in a verdant area, and the people inside were also wearing masks. Seeing this scene, Xu Zhenkun immediately understood what kind of place this was.
"Anyway, it's just a platform to get to know each other, and as for what to say after that, it's all up to you. Lin Yilong whispered beside him, "The advantage here is that there are no worries, as for how to describe how to meet in the future, it can be said that I met at a cocktail party." ”
Xu Zhenkun's eyes widened and nodded.
"Gentlemen, you may invite two of you. The waiter motioned, "The ladies should not refuse you." ”
Lin Yilong waved his hand, participating in this kind of scene again always reminded him of the "first encounter" with the Yeon sisters and the "reunion" with Katie that night. He was very nervous about his current state, and he did not accept the waiter's kindness and gave these ladies who looked through the autumn water to Xu Zhenkun.
