Chapter 133: It's So Straightforward
The people of the rotten country often complain about the French, and the French like to attack the British with the taste of British food with chewing wax, but seriously, when it comes to cooking, the British are indeed a little afraid to speak, after all, the restaurants of various countries on the street say everything...
Compared with the dark cuisine that is served casually in the UK, French cuisine is indeed exquisite and delicious, and because of the romantic style of the French to the bones, the appearance of the French restaurant is also higher than the other, especially suitable for a date with a little mood.
Paul, the housekeeper of the living map, sends Arthur and Jiang Lai to a French restaurant in a very old building, old and dilapidated just on the outside, pushing open the heavy wooden door, and behind it is a different world.
The gray and gold color block room looks very quiet and elegant, and the very textured marble panels are set off, and the whole decoration style is very luxurious in the French court.
Caviar with clams, truffle poached eggs with salmon, aromatic oysters and artichoke pies, foie gras marinated in crab, bovine nai and spicy tomato sauce...
βγγγ This is really incredible, I didn't expect you to be a film and television star of the Celestial Empire, I have to say, I really admire your courage, give up fame and fortune and choose to study abroad, this kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have, for this, I salute you, for courageββ"
Seriously, Arthur didn't expect him to chat with Jiang Lai so happily, and they both talked about it in a simple way, but Jiang Lai probably because he really needed to find someone to talk to, after drinking a glass of red wine, he became very talkative, with a faint sweet smile on his white pretty face, telling Arthur about his past in the Celestial Empire.
"Ding-" Two crystal clear goblets filled with bright red wine collided together.
"Hehe, when I first arrived in the UK, I was really sad and felt very depressed, I gave up so much, but what I saw and felt seemed to be a little different from what I imagined my study abroad life.
I found that I was not stepping on the big lawn of my dream, but full of dirt. I don't live in the imaginary castle, but an old man's apartment that doesn't even have the Internet. I don't know anyone, I can only rely on myself. β
Clinked glasses with Arthur and drank a sip of red wine, after putting down the wine glass, his smiling eyes were like a crescent moon, the corners of his mouth were raised, with a faint and quiet smile, Jiang Lai said with some self-deprecation, with a trace of unforgettable aftertaste in his expression.
βγγγ Every time I "steal" the net, I can be happy for a long time, but as soon as the network is disconnected, I will even squat in the corner with my mobile phone and cry. At that moment, I felt the loneliness of being alone.
I have no parents, no classmates and friends in the UK, and when I was cut off from the Internet, I felt that I was isolated from the world.
In addition to the loneliness of being in a foreign country, language has also become a big problem for me, although in China, I feel that my English is already very good, but when I arrive in the UK, I know that my spoken language is a mess and I have to start from scratch.
Thankfully, I quickly adjusted my mentality, I wanted to fit in, I wanted to make myself stronger. So I went to work as a waiter in a restaurant, which was a great opportunity to practice speaking.
Now, I have integrated into this side of life, so I have no regrets, I think that only by experiencing it can I create my future self, create my own value, and make me different from others. I want to take a different path from others, an adventurous road that belongs only to me Jianglai, there is no right and wrong on this road, only dreams. β
Arthur quietly listened to Jiang Lai's story, looking at her sometimes clear, sometimes melancholy eyes, impressive, in her, Arthur saw the flying and bright youthful meaning and full of tenacious character, sweet smile full of infectiousness, it is really more and more flattering and rare.
"Dreams ... Leave the most beautiful youth to your dreams. β
Looking at the smiling Jiang Lai, Arthur sighed, "You are very different. It's really different, unwilling to just make a clockwork machine, and stick to the rules on the planned road. A girl who dares to abandon her aura and stride on an adventure on an unknown journey. I believe that your future will be even more exciting and you will become a real winner in life. Because only those who have been serious are worthy of winning or losing. β
"Dingβ"
Arthur raised his glass and touched Jiang Lai, who raised his glass, Jiang Lai smiled with a slight red face: "Thank you, you can listen to me so much with patience, to be honest, I don't know why, I said so much." β
Arthur, who raised his wine glass and took a sip of red wine, smiled slightly with a flickering look in his eyes, looked at Jiang Lai and smiled: "Maybe I'm very affinity." β
"Hehe, maybe it is. The smile on Jiang Lai's face was even brighter.
In fact, if there is a reason, it should be Arthur's stepping forward in the morning to help, which left a deep impression and good impression on Jiang Lai, so that Jiang Lai subconsciously let go of some defenses, coupled with Arthur's deliberate approach, which made her feel very relaxed and comfortable to get along with.
"Don't just talk about me, what about you? Tell me about you, I'm really curious, it's really surprising that a person who has never been to the Celestial Empire actually likes the Internet of the Celestial Empire. Jiang Lai blinked with a pair of big eyes, his eyes were clear, and he asked curiously.
"Me?" Arthur couldn't help but smile, "Englishman, 21 years old, living in the country, with a bit of land, a few farms and ranches, a newspaper and publishing house, and just a website... By the way, it's still an unknown writer who can't write anything. β
"Oh oh!" Jiang Lai looked shocked, and at the same time with a strange look, exclaimed, and began to listen to Arthur's somewhat ridiculous tone, she still felt a little funny, but as Arthur finished speaking, she was messy.
Landlords, farmers, media bigwigs, or writers, still only 21 years old?
Well, in front of him is a rich second generation in England. Jiang Lai couldn't help but shake his head and laugh in his heart.
"Land, farms, ranches, newspapers and publishing houses are all industries that I inherited, but they are all sunset industries, so I am trying to transform to IT, and the martial arts world website is a bold attempt by me. β
Arthur did not shy away from his identity as a rich N generation, but naturally and generously said that there was nothing that could not be said about the inheritance he inherited by his 'strength'.
In the face of Arthur's indifferent frankness, Jiang Lai was a little embarrassed by the trace of contempt that flashed in his heart, but he didn't show it, but asked curiously: "Are you still a writer?"
"The unknown is that I sorted out some stories of my ancestors, wrote one, and serialized them in the newspaper, but I didn't expect to be favored by the TV station, and bought the film and television rights, and the filming will start in the near future, and it should be broadcast next year. Arthur shook his head and smiled very indifferently.
βγγγγγγ The corners of Jiang Lai's mouth twitched, and he couldn't laugh or cry, is this pretending to be 13? It must be, when did foreigners learn to pretend to be 13 so calmly?
"What's the name, I'm going to read the masterpiece when I get back. β
"The name is "Boleyn Manor", the entity has not been published yet, and the content serialized in the newspaper is probably not easy to find now, perhaps, it should be found on the Internet, and when it is published, I will give you a copy. β
"Bolin Manor?" Jiang Lai thought about it, he was really not impressed, but he still smiled: "Then I look forward to your masterpiece release, 21-year-old writer, it's really surprising... Wait, you're not going to be a big celebrity in the UK, are you?"
Arthur shook his head and smiled at Jiang Lai, who had beautiful eyes and a look of surprise, and said: "I said it was unknown, come, taste this oyster, it is very delicious." β
"Thank you. After Jiang Lai said thank you, he looked at Arthur and said: "Seriously, you are very different from the British people I have come into contact with, and I feel that there is no obstacle to communicating with you, I mean the barriers in terms of culture, consciousness, etc., thank you, I haven't chatted so happily for a long time, thank you for listening to me so much." β
"Hehe, you're welcome, if you want to find someone to chat with in the future, you can find me, of course, if you want to eat food, you can also find me, you are very beautiful, especially your smile, very beautiful, very infectious, I like it very much." Arthur didn't hide it at all, and directly said his true feelings and good impression of Jiang Lai.
Looking at the somewhat shy and flustered look on Jiang Lai's blushing pretty face and his dodging gaze as if he was frightened, Arthur smiled: "Okay, I may have said it too directly, I hope it didn't scare you, but I do think so in my heart, I can't deceive my heart, right?"
