68 Aftermath

Twenty-four hours after dropping Amy off at Bonas, Lin Yilong greeted Ah Fei and his girlfriend again at the airport, but instead of dropping them off at the hotel, he "picked them up" at an Apennine restaurant called "Tratoria Valti" in Bloomsbury.

"I haven't eaten much Spanish food in the city center, so I can only invite you to Italian food. Lin Yilong explained in the choice of welcome dinner, "Xiaoxue has been to London before, right?"

"No, we came to London to apply for other visas, so we didn't come. "But I like the East End." ”

"What?" Lin Yilong heard for the first time that someone liked London's East End.

"I've heard that there are a lot of art centers in East London, is there anything wrong with that?" asked Xiaoxue.

Vera chose the East End for the sake of cheap accommodation, but she ran into a bad landlord, she has never been willing to think about all the unhappiness that happened in the first half of her sophomore year, and even with Lin Yilong's experience of being forcibly bought and sold by immigrants of Middle Eastern descent, Lin Yilong does not like the East End of London very much. For him, the city of London ended at the eastern wall of Liverpool Street Station, and further east the Tower District was a barren land for Middle Eastern immigrants. The Eastern End is part of the CBD of the financial district, including the now-hyped Canary Wharf and Isle of Dogs.

In other words, the so-called Humanities Center does not refer to the chaotic and fearful East End of London that Lin Yilong and Vera remember, but is located further east in the developed Canary Wharf and Canadian waters. It was the center of New Wave art in Britain and Europe. The expression of the new wave art is difficult to estimate, which makes Lin Yilong, who is more familiar with classical art, shy away. Lin Yilong goes most often, the more lively West District and North District.

"Because I don't go to the East End much, I don't know how to get around. Lin Yilong prevaricated, "I can't be your tour guide, I'm sorry." ”

"It's fine. Xiaoxue smiled.

"By the way, the Cantonese morning tea here tastes good, if you want to change the taste, you can come here. Lin Yilong said, "I remember that Ah Fei said that Xiaoxue is from eastern Guangdong Province, and he will help me go on a trip, so that I can find a slightly more authentic store to recommend." ”

"Good. Xiaoxue's gestures made Lin Yilong intuitively feel more atmospheric than Xiaoxia two days ago, and gave Ah Fei a "look at you" look.

"I've signed you up for a boutique tour. Lin Yilong took out his mobile phone and briefly introduced the itinerary to Ah Fei and Xiaoxue, "The train will go to Inverness at nine o'clock tonight, and then travel from north to south, all the way to the White Cliffs of Dover, there will be a driver and guide waiting for you at the train station over there." ”

"In such a hurry?" Xiaoxue said.

"Because it's a winter night and the nights in the Scottish Highlands are too long, the tour operator said it would be best if they could hold on. ”

"I thought I could see it in London. Xiaoxue said regretfully.

"There will be a few days in London interspersed during the trip. Lin Yilong explained, "In this way, the city and the countryside are interspersed with each other, so that they will not get bored." If you want to stay in one place for a little longer, you can talk to the guide and he will arrange it. ”

Xiaoxue looked at Ah Fei.

"Then it's decided. Ah Fei agreed to Lin Yilong's itinerary, "If you tell me a little earlier, I can also arrange a vacation." ”

"Anyway, the two of them have never been to the UK, so it's not bad to travel a little tighter. Lin Yilong said with a smile.

In addition to macaroni and pizza, this Italian restaurant also has steak and veal, which Xiaoxue praises for its good taste, and as for Lin Yilong, what he orders is macaroni and vegetable salad.

After the meal, Lin Yilong sent the two to King's Cross Station, and Xiaoxue went to visit "the nine-and-three-quarters platform where a group of fools would push a cart into the wall", and Lin Yilong chatted with Ah Fei in the lounge.

"Thank you so much, no after-effects. Ah Fei said, "I arrived in Pujiang in the morning, and then I ran over when I met Xiaoxue in the evening, I guess Xiaoxia is still blaming herself." ”

"I really want to know the reason for this, can I just say yes?" Lin Yilong asked.

"No way. Ah Fei refused, "Let me tell you something, the reason why I frequently have girlfriends is that when my first girlfriend broke up with me in college, her father went directly to my dad to ask for 'youth loss money'." ”

"As for it?" Lin Yilong whispered, and then thought that it was because of this that Mother Lin went back to negotiate with Amy's father, so he couldn't say whether he would "share the same disease" with Ah Fei.

"I don't know if it's going to get to that point, but it's always a good idea to be prepared. ”

"Then why don't you just tell her to make it clear, if it's a student......." Lin Yilong asked.

"Although I have changed girlfriends more frequently, let me tell you, every girlfriend is rushing to get married, but some are not very good marriage partners. The relationship between me and Xiaoxia was not purely monetary at the beginning—it was even easier to break it off that way—until I was deeply attracted to Xiaoxue, and that's it. Ah Fei replied, "If you change Yilong to Xiaoxia's position, you will walk away so lightly, just because you are not as good as Xiaoxue?"

"Uh....." Lin Yilong couldn't answer this kind of words.

The four girls, from Nadia to Amy, are all in love with him at the same time, and Lin Yilong also responds to them with sincere feelings, but he doesn't dare to pat his chest and say which one he "loves" like Ah Fei. Emotionally, maybe Ah Fei is more willful than himself, not like Lin Yilong.

"I mean, since Xiaoxia was emotionally invested by Ah Fei, I mean not in this way. Lin Yilong asked a different question.

Lin Yilong also used a similar method to examine the Yeon sisters, Katie and Amy. Lin Yilong found that the whole process was to test his self-confidence, and he couldn't really face the fact that he was not confident enough.

"I need a fresh start, and my past with Xiaoxia is at least too unfair to Xiaoxue. Ah Fei excused himself like this, "I asked Yilong for you to take action, why don't you give yourself a reason to continue or break up?" But Xiaoxia's choice is really disappointing to me. ”

Xiaoxia's choice on this issue is sad no matter what.

"Forget it, if you know what you're doing. Lin Yilong smiled, "At least I helped you with a troublesome matter." But are you sure that if we do this, we won't let Xiaoxia continue to entangle?"

"I'm not worried about that. Ah Fei said, "She can choose Yilong you, which means that she is still rational, since she has made a choice, don't accept it with regret." When the limelight passes, it'll be all right – I'm in London now. ”

"That's right, too. Lin Yilong said with a smile.
