57 Friendship above
Father and Mother Lin, who had just recovered from a serious illness, took Uncle Lin to "enjoy" the crowds of Oxford Street and Piccadilly during the Christmas holiday; the Yeon family set off for Sochi overnight on Christmas Eve; Katie took her daughters to Jamaica to go on a trip with the Whitehouses; Amy took advantage of the holiday to go skiing in Switzerland with her grandmother; in short, several groups of people had a place to go, but they all left Lin Yilong alone in Wales.
According to his custom, Lin Yilong asked Bonnie, who also spent Christmas alone, to eat hot pot at a store not far from the law firm's store.
By the way, Bonnie also sees Christmas as a religious holiday and celebrates it, but she is still in a state of flux, and it is okay to have lunch together before going to church to sing hymns.
"In the past few years, my Christmas hot pot has become a reserved item. Lin Yilong complained to himself, "I thought that I would not have to eat hot pot on Christmas Day after I got married, but it turned out to be the case now." ”
"Didn't you come here to eat because no one in the family had any?" asked Bonnie.
"yes, that's why it's so hard. Lin Yilong replied, "According to what my mother often taught me, 'the whole world revolves around you', and when this thing is really done, it is really just 'revolving around you', and then the others move forward according to their own tracks." ”
"I'm not here to hear you say this. Bonnie briskly rejected Lin Yilong's intention to publish his tirade, "I want to go back to China during the Spring Festival, you can take care of it." ”
"Of course, I'm still a Celestial Empire at heart, and this holiday is still given. ”
"Where's the 'but'?"
"I don't beat around the bush, the holiday is given, but considering that this year's Spring Festival is almost in mid-February, when you come back, you will probably have to see Nils here, not me. It's a little sad. ”
"Aren't you coming?"
"Yes. Due to the limited office space, Nils comes every day to take you through the second apprenticeship. Lin Yilong said in a somewhat regretful tone.
"I guess, the third one can't be Alex, right?"
"No, it's still me, but in Katie's name. Lin Yilong replied with a smile, "In September, we'll see you again." But after all, it's six months, won't you miss me?"
"I don't think you can remember. Bonnie sneered and replied to him with Lin Yilong's usual words.
"Alas, what a pity. Lin Yilong replied.
"Do we have any other business in January?"
"It's the issuance and raising of bonds that we talked about when we went to Pujiang. Lin Yilong replied, "This kind of blueprint was already written by Katie and I at the beginning, and we only need to add or subtract items according to the requirements of the client. I've already written the assessment report, and the rest is to copy, paste or rewrite one by one, and I don't have many things to ask for, that is, about 500 pieces. Once this is done, your internship in my department is over. ”
Because 500 entries need to be carefully considered for legal consequences, completing 2 entries every hour is considered a ceiling. In other words, the work took about six weeks, and with revisions, it was just enough to be completed before Bonnie left. Lin Yilong would say so.
Bonnie and Lin Yilong tacitly maintain the level of "friendship is above, love is not enough" when they are working, but neither party wants to go one step further, that's all: it's not that they really have scruples at the family level, but they are afraid that if they are really close, they will lose a slightly innocent friendship between the two, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Lin Yilong is indeed a perfect boyfriend for Bonnie, but it is only Lin Yilong in Bonnie's impression ten years ago, and Bonnie is also a perfect girlfriend for Lin Yilong, but she is also the Bonnie of more than ten years ago in Lin Yilong's impression.
It's kind of sad.
Sending you to church, Lin Yilong returned to the main house of Bracken Woods, put on new bedding for his bed, bathed in the rare winter sun, drank lychee soda, soaked himself in the bathtub, and lazily looked at the foothills of Bracken Mountain in the distance.
"It's nice to live in the mountains! Lin Yilong said to himself so loudly.
However, there was nothing that answered him.
After the bath water cooled, Lin Yilong slowly climbed out of the bathtub, took another shower, and returned to the bedroom to fall asleep slowly.
Lin Yilong had a dream, dreaming that he went back to when he first started studying abroad, and went to Bonnie's side in the dormitory at noon every day to eat and drink, knowing that Lin Yilong in the future suddenly asked how Lei was, and Bonnie cried.
Waking up in a dream, Lin Yilong struggled to get up and looked at the time, one o'clock in the morning.
Lin Yilong picked up the water cup and drank it in a big gulp, which calmed his mood a little.
Lie back in bed and force yourself to continue sleeping, but I can't sleep anymore.
After getting up and taking another shower to stay awake, Lin Yilong tidied up the main house again, put on his clothes and greeted the forest farm workers on duty, and caught the next bus to London.
I went to Mother Lin's just in time for breakfast.
Mother Lin has rarely prepared breakfast since she arrived in the UK, and the structure of breakfast with Father Lin every day is a bowl of breakfast cereal and half a slice of toast plus fruit, and Lin Yilong will not have any preferential treatment when he arrives;
Lin Yilong took the bread, cheese and Parma ham he got from Uncle Lin and made a sandwich with coffee.
"You didn't say that there must be someone on the other side of the forest farm, why can't you bear the loneliness?" asked Lin Mu.
"If it hadn't rained at night, it would have come. Lin Yilong replied that when he came, it was raining throughout South Wales, "If you want to continue to stay at home, you will be lazy, so you might as well go and do something else." ”
"So, did you come here to take a plane to see your daughter?" Father Lin directly pierced Lin Yilong's disguise and asked.
"That's kind of interesting, but I haven't figured out the path yet. Lin Yilong replied.
"By the way, I'm going to go to Hanyang in mid-January. Mother Lin mentioned this matter, "Before I go, I want to meet the little girl of the Ren family - I can't go back without seeing my parents, I have to have points in my heart." ”
"Don't see you. Lin Yilong couldn't help but be a little frightened, "Her parents don't know our relationship either. ”
"How could you not know, isn't her grandmother living with her?" Mother Lin ignored Lin Yilong's reasoning, "Do you think that her grandmother would keep her parents tight-lipped about such a thing?"
"Well, well, I'll arrange it. Lin Yilong replied, "When will the old lady have the plane?"
"I plan to go with your father and uncle on January 12, and then spend the Spring Festival at home. Come back in mid-March. Lin Mu said, "So, before the 10th, it's at Uncle Mai's burger restaurant in New Meldan." ”
"Well said, well said. Lin Yilong couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and replied little by little.
