49 Hot Pot
"You will surely find your own happiness. Lin Yilong was at Dubai Airport and gave Xu Zhenkun such a farewell message. The two said goodbye, one returned to London, and the other went to Sidney to reunite with his parents, who had already taken the lead.
Uncle Lin returned to South Wales together accompanied by Lin's father and mother, and the apartment on Riverside Street was deserted.
He ate a lot when he was on the ground, and Lin Yilong didn't eat anything else in the more than ten hours he had been on the return trip, and he was a little hungry. In the refrigerator, in addition to eggs and butter, there are only two bottles of beef liver left.
Due to the strict access control of the apartment, ordering takeaway is also a problem. If you don't want to go hungry, you'll have to go out for a walk, and on Friday afternoons the congested roads and crowded subways make you impatient to find a restaurant nearby.
The closest eating area to the apartment is the Regent's Garden.
After walking along the store for ten minutes, Lin Yilong did not have a clear goal of what he wanted to eat, and in hesitation, he unconsciously approached the Royal Opera House and the Royal Ballet Academy opposite.
Don't know what Amy is doing.
Just as Lin Yilong was staring at the door of the opera house, a small hand gently patted him on the shoulder.
It's Uncle Tian's daughter Samantha and her roommate Amy, who is already following her.
"It's you. Lin Yilong smiled and said, "Come here to listen to the opera?"
This Friday at the Royal Opera House is not a ballet, but George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra (Cleopatra).
"We don't understand the opera very well. Samantha said very sincerely, "We are here to fight tooth sacrifices. β
Lin Yilong took out his mobile phone and looked at the time.
"I know there's a good buffet near here, so please eat, and do a little bit of landlord friendship. β
"Hmm...... Good. Samantha hesitated, not knowing whether she should accept the invitation of her father's classmate's son. Thinking about it in the future, if you want Lin Yilong to provide visa sponsorship, you will inevitably have to contact him, and you can also observe the behavior of the boss in the future.
Lin Yilong then stared at Amy again.
With a fierce look in her eyes, Amy immediately retreated: "Then I won't go." β
"Come on, Amy, stay with me. Samantha pulled Amy's hand.
"Come on, let's do it together. Lin Yilong invited very warmly.
"Good. Amy couldn't resist Samantha's request and agreed.
There are only places where you can eat self-service hot pot in the vicinity, and there is only London Chinatown. The dishes of the hot pot restaurant are also relatively repetitive, always beef and mutton, vegetable platter, mushroom platter, and some beef offal and shrimp, which cannot be compared with the dazzling variety of domestic self-service hot pot. Even this limited selection of dishes did not reduce Samantha and Amy's appetite, and the two girls asked for a total of six fat beef slices and three vegetable platters, and even Lin Yilong was surprised by them.
"The teacher who managed our body shape told us that we should gain some weight. Seeing Lin Yilong's surprised application, Samantha explained, "We consume a lot of calories in our dance classes every day, and if we don't eat so much, we won't be able to gain weight at all." β
β......β
"I remember my mom mentioned that Samantha, your school has room and board. This news was not told to Lin Yilong by Lin's mother, but he found it on the website of the ballet school, "The food in the school is not good?"
"Not really. Samantha shook her head, "I'm used to eating rice at home, but I'm not used to coming here. β
Amy lowered her head and ate one piece of meat after another to vent her anger, anyway, she couldn't understand a word, so it wasn't a faux pas - the faux pass was Lin Yilong and Samantha, who communicated in Chinese.
"I'm sorry. Lin Yilong switched to English that everyone could understand, and apologized to Amy, "We were just talking about your school's cafeteria. β
"It doesn't matter. Amy's eating appearance changed from wild to elegant, she picked up a piece of boiled shiitake mushrooms with her chopsticks, slowly placed it in her condiment plate and clicked it twice, so that the sesame sauce only slightly stuck to the edge of the mushrooms, and put it in her mouth - and then she was scalded to her tongue, gulping down the bubbling lemonade in the cup - and the carbonated acid in it reached her throat and sprayed Samantha in the face.
If something beautiful is beautiful, people will only think it is cute, and if it is not beautiful, it is just a trouble.
Amy's embarrassment, apparently part of the "Moe" collection, coughed twice and choked the rest of the carbon dioxide into her stomach.
"I'm so sorry. Amy hurriedly admits her mistake to her roommate. Samantha hurriedly went to the toilet, rearranged her appearance, and left Amy to Lin Yilong.
"Mr. Lin, am I a little in the way?" Amy asked, in her native language.
"No, as long as you don't get all over the city, it's nothing. Lin Yilong waved his hand, "Your vacation is coming soon, what are you going to do?
"It's better to continue your studies here. Amy made her choice, "I wanted to find a teacher to tutor. β
"Yes. Lin Yilong thought about it and gave Amy's plan the green light, "The rest of the things will be notified by me." β
"If you have some free time, you can come this weekend β tomorrow and tomorrow β and I'll sit in my apartment here, not far from your dormitory. Lin Yilong mentioned.
Amy's face turned a little redβshe had talked to Samantha and some of her friends back home about it, and knew what might happen if a lonely man and a widow were in the same room.
Samantha returned to the dining table, saw her roommate's face was red, I didn't know if it was caused by choking, she was too shy when she was alone with Lin Yilong, and her mind immediately made up the situation that Amy wanted to confess but couldn't say what she thought.
Samantha has a plan, a way to increase Amy and Lin Yilong's favorability.
"Brother Long, before our holiday next week, we have a student performance at the Royal Opera House, and Amy and I are going to participate. Samantha said, "Can you take a look at it?"
"As your nominal boss, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, even if you give new employees enough respect for their graduation, there is nothing wrong with it. Lin Yilong didn't think about it, and replied, "Is Uncle Tian coming too?"
"With Mom. Samantha replied, "My free ticket is already reserved for them." Amy, can I lend you one for my future boss? Samantha asked Amy.
"No problem. Amy said, taking out an invitation ticket from her bag for the Royal Ballet School's summer performances, which the holder can use for free at the time of the performance, "Please Mr. Lin make sure to take a beautiful picture of Samantha and me." Even if my parents can't come, I want my parents to see the most beautiful part of me on stage. β
"No problem. Lin Yilong agreed.
