While being ashamed, Anderson also admired from the bottom of his heart, he walked up to Li Wuming and said, "You are the most powerful person I have ever seen in empty-handed fighting, I salute you!"
Li Wuming nodded with a faint smile and said, "You guys are not bad either!"
When Anderson heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and didn't say anything more
"Henry, after reading it, have you decided what kung fu you want to learn?"
Xia Yu asked with a faint smile on his face.
Henry struggled for a long time, still didn't know how to choose, he felt that both kung fu was very powerful, so he asked, "Can I learn both together?"
Xia Yu shook his head and explained: "I suggest that you only learn one, unless you learn a very powerful level later, it's no problem to learn the second one, if you start learning, it's not suitable, you will practice messy." ”
Henry pursed his lips and muttered, and finally looked at Xia Yu, rolled his eyes, and said, "Then I want to learn Tai Chi!"
"Wise choice!"
"Are you going to study now, or are you going to wait until you get back?"
"Now, of course! I can't wait!"
Henry said hurriedly.
Xia Yu nodded and said to Li Wuming: "Brother Li, I'm sorry for you!"
"No trouble!"
"Come with me!"
After that, Henry ran to Li Wuming in a hurry and practiced with Li Wuming on the grass.
Xia Yu and Elena looked at it for a while, and then the two returned to the restaurant and sat down.
"Xia Yu, thank you!"
Elena looked straight at Xia Yu with a pair of beautiful eyes and thanked her.
"No thanks, it's a gesture......"
......
Then, the two chatted, because of a series of events, Elena's impression of Xia Yu became better and better, and as they got to know each other more and more, the relationship between the two became more and more familiar.
"By the way, Xia Yu, I haven't found the piano piece you played in the past few days, can you tell me where to buy it?"
Suddenly, Elena asked Xia Yu.
"This piano piece is not on sale yet, and I heard it from my friend. ”
Xia Yu was stunned, he didn't expect Elena to be so interested in the song "Dream Wedding", he thought about it and explained.
Hearing Xia Yu say this, Elena's beautiful face showed regret.
Xia Yu hurriedly said: "But Elena, if you like it, I can give it to you, as long as it doesn't get out, it doesn't matter." ”
"Really?"
Elena's eyes lit up and she asked expectantly.
"Really!"
Xia Yu nodded affirmatively.
"That's great!"
"But before you do that, please listen and point out what I'm wrong. ”
After speaking, Elena came to the piano in the left corner of the restaurant in Xia Yu's puzzled expression.
Picking up the piano, Elena adjusted her position, smiled at Xia Yu, and then tapped her fingers and played.
As soon as he heard this melody, Xia Yu was surprised, it was the song "Dream Wedding", but there were many plausible places, and he could also hear the uncertainty when Elena played it.
At the end of the song, Elena stepped off the piano and looked at Xia Yu expectantly.
Xia Yu came back to his senses, and there was still a trace of shock in his eyes.
Elena just listened to him play it once, but she memorized so much, this talent is too terrifying!
Xia Yu couldn't help but think of what they said when they were chatting in the square at that time, mentioning that Elena is the piano princess of Oxford University, with this talent, it is not an exaggeration to have this title.
"Elena, you really surprise me!"
Xia Yu said praisefully.
Elena smiled and said: "It's that you played so well that I remembered it unconsciously, and these days at home, this song always comes to mind, so I try to restore it, in fact, I know that I don't play it well." ”
"So I would like you to point out what I didn't play correctly, this piece is very romantic, and I like it very much. ”
Elena's undisguised calm words made Xia Yu have a good impression of her, and he said with a smile: "Then you listen to me play again, with your talent, you should be able to remember, if there is anything unclear, ask me again, I will tell you everything." ”
As he spoke, Xia Yu sat on the piano bench under Elena's expectant gaze and began to play.
Elena smiled at the corner of her mouth, covered her face with her hands, and quietly watched Xia Yu play.
When there is a common topic between men and women, friendship can quickly heat up.
After Xia Yu played, Elena went up again, and then Xia Yu corrected the wrong syllables little by little.
One taught attentively, the other listened attentively, and soon Elena, who was amazingly talented, memorized the whole piece and became proficient after playing it a few times.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
At the end of the song, Xia Yu smiled and applauded, and Elena smiled like a flower and got off the piano table.
"Xia Yu, thank you!"
"No thanks, we're friends, aren't we?"
Xia Yu shrugged, looked at Elena, and said with a clear gaze.
"You're the first British girl I know!"
Elena was stunned, her face was like a peach blossom, and she said happily: "Yes, we are friends, and you are also the first Chinese boy from Xiangjiang I know." ”
"It's my pleasure!"
Xia Yu said with a smile.
I saw Elena stretching out her right hand with a smile, and her jade hand drooped, and said at the same time: "Meet again, my friend Xiangjiang, my name is Elena, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Seeing this, Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Hello Elena, my name is Xia Yu, it's my honor to know you!"
After speaking, Xia Yu bowed slightly, and gently lifted Elena's fingertips with his right hand and kissed him gently, and Elena kept watching Xia Yu's movements with a smile.
This is a common kiss in the West, which means that Elena really regards Xia Yu as a good friend.
There are many Western etiquettes, such as bowing, nodding, raising hands, shaking hands, kissing hands, kissing hands, kissing and hugging, and so on.
Among them, the first ones are popular between superiors and subordinates or peers, and handshake gifts are the most common.
The hand kiss ceremony is a popular etiquette in the upper class of Europe and the United States. When meeting an upper-class aristocratic woman or lady, if the woman reaches out first to do a drooping pose, gently lift her fingertips and kiss her. But if the woman does not stretch out her hand, she does not kiss. When kissing the hand, if the woman has a high status, she should bend one knee and do a half-kneeling posture before shaking hands and kissing her, which is the most important etiquette in British and French society.
Elena was born in the Duke's family, and the kiss was naturally a etiquette for her to learn, but she rarely went to drinking parties and had fewer friends, so she rarely took the initiative to reach out.
But now she took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Xia Yu, in fact, it was a sign that she regarded Xia Yu as a good friend, not interesting to Xia Yu, Xia Yu naturally knew the etiquette of kissing hands, although she was surprised by Elena's actions, but she didn't have a brain.
Of course, according to reason, Xia Yu should kiss the back of Elena's hand in a half-kneeling manner, after all, Elena is the daughter of the duke, and here in the UK, her status must be higher than Xia Yu.
But Xia Yu won't be stupid to show it, if he kisses half-kneeling, it shows that he should know Elena's situation, and it will inevitably seem that the purpose of Xia Yu's series of actions is not pure.
Pretending to be confused is the best choice!
After kissing for three seconds, Xia Yu reluctantly let go of Elena's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
The time for chatting always passed quickly, and when it was almost time to eat, the restaurant finally started to serve, and Xia Yu and Elena had to serve it.
And Li Wuming also stopped teaching, bringing back Henry, who had both excitement and regret.
As soon as it was served, Henry excitedly kept talking to Elena, and when she saw her brother so happy, Elena couldn't help but smile.
Of course, for Xia Yu, Henry's senses are also very good, and he looks like he treats Xia Yu as an iron buddy, which makes Xia Yu a little crying and laughing, and he is really too familiar.
After lunch, they should have separated, but Henry wanted to learn kung fu with him, and Li Wuming couldn't leave Xia Yu.
There was no way, Elena could only follow her younger brother and ask Xia Yu again if she was busy, of course Xia Yu bluntly said that she was not busy.
After that, Elena invited Xia Yu to her home in London.
Elena's residence in the UK is located in the Hammersmith Fulham district of London, which is the same area where Xia Yu bought Rolls-Royce, a typical rich area.
After arriving, Xia Yu found that Elena's home was a large villa with a small garden.
Elena introduced that this is a house that her father just bought for her, she is about to graduate this year, so she came to London for an internship, she does not want to rely on the help of her family, and intends to complete the internship on her own, this idea is supported by her father.
It was winter break, so her brother stayed with her, and occasionally in Norfolk.
After arriving at Elena's home, Henry pestered Li Wuming to continue teaching him kung fu, and Xia Yu visited her home under Elena's leadership.
After that, the two chatted, and during the chat, Elena was surprised to find that Xia Yu not only has a deep understanding of music, but also has a deep understanding of business, finance, etc., she feels that the knowledge she has learned seems to be inferior to Xia Yu, and some of the questions that bothered her were easily answered by Xia Yu.
In this way, Elena is more curious about Xia Yu, and at the same time, the two chat about a wider range of topics.
Happy times are always short-lived, and in a blink of an eye, it was more than five o'clock in the evening, the sky was getting dark, and Xia Yu had to say goodbye.
Sent out of the door by the Elena sister and brother, Xia Yu stopped and said to Henry with a regretful face: "Henry, I should have been in England for the past few months, and there is still time to learn kung fu, I will come over in the future, or you can also come to me." ”
"Okay!"
Henry pursed his lips and said with a lift of spirits.
"Elena, thank you for the invitation, I had a great time today, and I will welcome you to my house next time I have the opportunity!"
Xia Yu looked at Elena again and said with a smile in his eyes.
"I'm also very happy, there will definitely be a chance!"
Elena said playfully, and there was a trace of reluctance in her heart for some reason, but she didn't notice it.
"Goodbye!"
"Take care!"
Seeing Xia Yu's car go away, Elena and Henry's siblings planned to go back.
Henry suddenly smiled and said, "Sister, you seem to have a good chat with Xia Yu today, I don't seem to have seen you do this to any boy, do you have a good impression of him?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Elena's heart, and she immediately shook her head to deny it, but she didn't notice that the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked up a trace of arc.
"No, we're just friends!
"Henry, this morning's thing, I think we should talk about it. ”
"Oh no, sister, I remember I still have something ......"
Henry sensed that something was wrong, dropped a sentence and ran away.
Seeing her brother fleeing, Elena sneered, and the whole room seemed to be a little brighter.
