Western-style dinners, except for some cold meals and buffets, are generally divided into three-course, five-course, six-course and seven-course dishes according to the banquet culture. But if it's really broken down, strictly speaking, there are at most four courses at best – starter/salad/appetizer [Note], bisque and bread (the three-course recipe turns these two dishes into one), main course, and sweets. The remaining ones are generally gained or subtracted according to certain criteria between these four lanes.

In this hotel's restaurant, dinner on Thursday was themed "Steak Night", and since Nadia didn't want to go out somewhere else, and it was a bit wasteful to call room service, Lin Yilong took the Yeang sisters downstairs to eat, which was a three-course full meal.

Lin Yilong found a booth on the second floor of the restaurant, so that the conversation between them would not reach the ears of outsiders.

"Let's get to know each other again, in order to put ......aside the happy and unpleasant past," Lin Yilong said, "Although we have met several times, I have not officially 'met' you except for the tragic memories of that day in Vera's apartment."

Vera rolled her eyes at Lin Yilong.

"That night, I'm sorry. Lin Yilong took the apology as his opening remarks, "Among them, I think the biggest misunderstanding is Nadia's proposal to me to go to Vera's for supper and my attitude at you." So, I have to make some clarifications today to explain what happened that day, and I ask for your understanding. ”

"Nadia meant nothing wrong, but there are some problems with the method. How can you introduce your sister to a strange man's sister on the first day of a date?" Lin Yilong stroked Nadia's jade hand, easing her nervousness, "Let's not talk about whether I'm a bad person or not, in a completely strange situation, I asked you to my house, will you come to my house yourself?" Vera lives in London's East End, that place, anyway, I, who have been in England for seven years, don't dare to go out at night, let alone enter a complete stranger's home. Naturally, I will be vigilant, and if you reflect on it, you will understand my actions. ”

"I'm sure Vera can understand your sister. Lin Yilong looked at Vera, "You have a lot of schoolwork, and the preparation and review of your homework has put you under pressure, and if you go to work, you can't find a part-time job that fits your schedule, so the income is not high." Once the economic situation changes, your dreams cannot be sustained. Thankfully, God has given me this opportunity to help you."

"Is it just help?" Vera looked at Lin Yilong with disdain, "Then we just need to pay you back this money later, we all know the purpose of your money, don't make this high-sounding." ”

"My dear Vera, you still haven't figured it out, the world is always full of compromises. Lin Yilong explained, "It's better to ask yourself a similar question to this proposition: there are so many outstanding graduates, I am your employer, why do I hire you instead of others? There are so many beautiful girls, if I am your lover, why am I willing to love you instead of others? If I am your best friend, why am I close to you and not others? You see, this is completely a question of the basis for value judgment - then why do I choose to 'help' you and not 'help' others." I'm sure you'll be able to think clearly with your ingenuity. ”

"And how can we repay you for this help?" asked Vera.

"I hope it's all to you, my dear Vera. Lin Yilong replied, "I also hope that in the future, we can be happy and harmonious together." ”

"Well, even if we can be happy and happy in the future. Vera realized that her protest had become childish entertainment in Lin Yilong's eyes, so she followed Lin Yilong's words and asked, "So, the last question, will you marry either me or my sister?"

"No, I believe that marriage is reciprocal and sacred. Lin Yilong said categorically, "If I do this, I will make the choice of 'abandoning one of you and your sister', I don't want to abandon any of you in my life, this is the obligation and mission given to me by fate." ”

After saying such a shameless declaration, Vera and Nadia were interrupted by Lin Yilong's eyes before they could respond.

The waiter in the restaurant went up to the second floor with a plate and served them the first plate.

"I'm going to ask you now, what caused you to fall into such a predicament?" Lin Yilong used the waiter's intervention to cleverly ignore the process of the two sisters' feedback on his declaration, "I'm thinking, since Nadia is studying materials engineering, and Vera is studying medical school, both of which are expensive disciplines—then your family should be able to afford it, why did you fall into such a field?"

"Oh, maybe it's fate, as you said. Nadia began to describe why she and Vera were in a predicament, "We studied abroad through my mother's contact with my sister who was married to England, and it was a charity that funded us to study here in the form of scholarships. My aunt divorced my ex-uncle in January of this year, and we haven't been able to get the scholarship we got from there. Because our father's colon cancer surgery took up the family's savings. No matter how frugal we are, the money is still not enough, and it becomes like this. ”

"Then, you'd rather be sponsored by me than drag down your parents?" Lin Yilong said, "I understand, so why don't you go back to school?"

"Our university enrollment in Kazan was cancelled the year before last because we didn't report it. Vera added, "If we go back, we can only look for a job with the highest degree we have graduated from high school, and if we go back, no matter how hard we work, we still can't pay our tuition, and at that time, there will be nothing." ”

Lin Yilong heard the part he knew best, and compared the personality traits of the two sisters that he had collected from the materials and information in his hand, they were not much different.

"So, you still lack a sum of money to pay for your father's medical bills, right?" Lin Yilong asked.

The two sisters were silent, but they could tell that they acquiesced.

"Can your father withstand a long flight?" Lin Yilong asked.

"Now, it's not good, I'm in the middle of chemotherapy, my blood pressure has dropped very much, and I'm afraid that my body can't stand it after a long flight. Vera replied, and then looked at Lin Yilong, who was thinking about something on the side.

"How long is chemotherapy?" Lin Yilong asked.

"After the latest test, I still need three more shots, about half a month. Nadia replied.

"Well, it was the end of your exams. After thinking about it for a few minutes, Lin Yilong said, "When you go home this summer, persuade your father to go abroad for treatment, and I will arrange the rest." ”
