40 Reunion
Bonnie arrived in England from Hong Kong and settled in South Wales by renting a £700-a-month apartment in Cardiff's city centre.
Bonnie and Nils and Alex were also classmates, so a few old classmates gathered all the classmates they could find at an Indian curry shop away from where they used to have dinners.
There weren't many people who came, except for Lin Yilong, Nils and Alex, only Benjamin who worked in Cardiff and Clementine, who worked in quality management in Brijander, who was an internist who had been working in London for more than a decade before switching to law due to his parents' health, was almost 50 years old, and was the oldest of their classmates.
Even if a few classmates co-founded a law firm, their private gathering is still almost once a year, and sometimes the number of people is so small that it becomes a "managing partner" meeting, but this party is obviously not like this.
On the topic of "eating men's losses", Clementine, who has also been divorced, still has a common language with Bonnie, and the departure of the two older "girls" made the male classmates present a little subtle.
Forget to mention that all the men are still single, and most of the other students who did not attend the temporary party to welcome Bonnie back to Wales are married.
"I heard you moved to Cardiff?" asked Benjamin.
"I've been moving there for years. Benjamin replied nonchalantly, "Although the daily commute was good, I decided to start my life in Cardiff." ”
Benjamin's father was a partner at a well-known law firm in West Gra Morgan, and Benjamin's degree was not in law, but in the aviation industry (wind tunnel). With the help of his father, he re-chose a trade and practiced locally. But Lin Yilong never imagined that Benjamin would go to Cardiff.
"I don't know what your entertainment is every night. Benjamin's voice is distinctive, low but not oppressive, "I watch TV every night, and I usually go to radio dramas, and I have to say that radio dramas are much better than TV dramas now, at least better than Hermodal and London's West End." ”
"Classical music FM. Lin Yilong replied, "Sometimes I even listen to it while writing a report, but the music in it is too repetitive, although there are different performance versions, but that's it." ”
"You really listen to classical music FM!" has already been introduced, Nils has a fierce face even if he usually has a fierce face, so his expression when he asked Lin Yilong was a little hideous - although the students were used to Nils's face.
"I hate modern music, and at most I listen to a slightly lyrical minor, and in general, I don't touch modern music from the blues and jazz periods.
Soon, the attention of several people turned to the radio program.
The rest is to describe their travel experiences and experiences to each other, but the nature of everyone's work is the same, and no one really likes to listen to other people's descriptions, and they just try to pretend to be interested, that's all.
Truth be told, Alex and Nils also regularly travel to Ireland, Bermuda and the Lion City for a variety of reasons, as well as occasionally to Oceania and North America, and are no strangers to overseas vacations – much better than Benjamin, who only practices locally and travels occasionally.
Just as a few people were about to express their disgust with Benjamin's speech, Clementine and Bonnie finished their "girls' whispers" and returned to their seats.
Similar to Benjamin, Clementine's father was also a well-known practicing lawyer, Clementine's mother died very early, and for a large part of the time, such as attending some social occasions in the community and the county, she acted as her father's female companion, so at a glance, Nils, Alex and Lin Yilong were polite and "impatient", expressing their desire to leave, and Lin Yilong and they were very amusemented to get off the donkey.
Because Benjamin planned to take this opportunity to come back to see his parents, the only travelers to the east were Lin Yilong and Bonnie.
Naturally, the "locals" thought that Lin Yilong and Bonnie were on their way, and according to his custom, they would also send Bonnie home. Nils and Clementine drop by, Benjamin himself takes the bus that hasn't been picked up yet, and Alex lives not far from the city center and can walk back on his own.
There was some awkward atmosphere.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the station. Lin Yilong provided Bonnie with a ride along the way, and Bonnie's apartment was almost a stone's throw away from Cardiff's bus terminal, and Bonnie accepted Lin's convenience.
"You still like motorcycles. Looking at the small pedal light ride that Sister Yeang bought for Lin Yilong, Bonnie said.
"If it weren't for so many mountains in Wales, I'd rather ride a bike. Lin Yilong said with a smile.
With Bonnie, although not as relaxed as with Sister Yeon, it was much lighter than when he had a few classmates just now, Lin Yilong glanced at Bonnie who was smiling on the side, and handed her a motorcycle helmet.
The two then got on motorcycles, and Bonnie gently held Lin Yilong's shoulders.
In some kind of inexplicable tension, Lin Yilong drove Bonnie to the bus terminal in West Gramorgan, where Tesco was still open and so was the café inside.
Unfortunately, the shuttle to Cardiff had just left, and the next one was an hour away.
"Have a cup of tea and have some sweets. Bonnie suggested.
"Good. Knowing that Bonnie had something to say to herself, Lin Yilong happily agreed.
The two sat across from each other, not knowing where to start.
"I'm sorry, I think you got my mail too. Lin Yilong found a very good starting point, "Employment is not possible for the time being, so I can only provide you with legal practice courses to pay for tuition, you understand." ”
"Of course, it's a hard requirement. Bonnie nodded, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
The two men then fell into a strange silence - they looked at each other quietly, I should say, and looked at their reunion in Wales ten years later.
The first to admit defeat was still Lin Yilong.
"Did I make it a little hard for you?" asked Bonnie.
"It's not hard to say, maybe it's just to comfort you," Lin Yilong said, "We don't need to hide this either, for Nils and Alex, they have no obligation to train interns, for Katie, she may have one more love rival, and finally, I don't have a bad relationship with Ray." So, if we hadn't had a relationship to a certain extent, I wouldn't have been able to do that. I think you found out from this meeting. ”
"Yes. Bonnie sensed Alex's unintentional glimmer of dissatisfaction, which she knew was coming from.
"Bonnie, you also understand that unless you don't want to go to Xiangjiang again, you are very likely to go directly to Xiangjiang to take over the stall before Lei, and directly rival Lei who is doing supervision. Lin Yilong looked at Bonnie and said very seriously, "As the person who knows Ray best, I hope that Bonnie will give full play to your value." As your boss, that's all there is to your career outlook. ”
