Chapter 412: Happy Birthday
Far away, in the east, it has already sunset early, and the west has only ushered in the belated light.
At nine o'clock in the morning, in Harvard University, it was still this small villa, Shen Fang had been here many times in the past three years, and he was familiar with it.
Today is a special day for overseas Chinese compatriots, Shen Fang specially asked for leave, planning to take her distant friends to Chinatown to spend the Lantern Festival together.
Under the leadership of Shen Fang, the two arrived at their destination before noon.
Gao Yiling has a supple black long straight hair, pure and still the same, sky blue denim backpack pants, small white shoes, and a spiritual and delicate face, always so small and fresh.
Today's Chinatown is particularly lively, full of Chinese style, red lights on the streets, lantern riddles, lion dances, dragon lanterns and other elements symbolizing the festival abound.
I haven't returned to China for three years, and I feel like I'm in a completely different world, and now I'm suddenly in touch with things I was familiar with.
After the two played for a while, under Shen Fang's initiative, they walked into a coffee shop, intending to take a break.
"What? You're graduating so soon?"
"You can graduate with enough credits, and there is no time limit. ”
Shen Fang was surprised, how long has it been since Gao Yiling came to study abroad? It has only been three years since he was full of Manda, but now he has completed his studies in advance that are difficult for others to complete in four years, what kind of evil is this?
In fact, what she didn't know was that Gao Yiling had already reached the credit standard a year ago, and she could have graduated early, but she didn't do it, but chose to stay for a year.
"So where do you plan to go after graduation, go to Wall Street or go back home?"
Now that I have graduated, the first thing to do is employment. And with Gao Yiling's excellent grades at Harvard, work will definitely not be a problem, it depends on where she chooses to develop.
Gao Yiling glanced at the familiar things outside the window, his eyes were slightly distracted, and he said: "It's been long enough to come out, and I've seen all the scenery here this year, maybe, it's time to go back." ”
Looking at her quiet and beautiful face, even as a woman, Shen Fang was not obsessed with it.
smiled, "Listening to you, how do I feel that you don't feel like you're here to study, but more like you came out to escape, and you haven't thought about how you should develop in the future?"
Shen Fang spoke bitterly, and then put forward her own opinion: "Personally, I still suggest that you don't rush back to China first, you can stay for a while." Get a good job on Wall Street first, and then coat yourself with gold, and it's not too late to return to China when the time comes, and your resume has been enriched, which is definitely more golden. ”
Gao Yiling was silent, as Shen Fang said, in addition to studying, she rarely planned for her life, let alone how to reflect her value.
After a moment of silence, Shen Fang saw it in his eyes, thinking that Gao Yiling, like most graduates, would feel confused when he was about to face society, and he had no opinion, and he couldn't make up his mind.
She smiled and groaned, then leaned over the table, got closer, lowered her voice, and asked with a hint of inquiry: "Why don't you come directly to our modern chase?" With your resume, I believe it is not a difficult task. ”
"Modern Chase?"
Hearing this, Gao Yiling muttered, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but brighten a little, and a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Yes, one of the top consortia, bringing together the world's major talents, the threshold is also surprisingly high, the reason why I was able to enter back then was probably because of my Asian identity, which was favored by the president.
However, with Yiling's conditions, I believe that there is no big problem, as long as you enter Modern Chase, even if you return to China for development in the future, it will definitely be a strong stroke. ”
Under Shen Fang's expectant gaze, she fell silent again.
In the past three years, I have learned the news of my sister Gao Yilian from Shen Fang's mouth many times. There were even several times when they almost met, but she cleverly chose to avoid them, and to this day, the two sisters have never met in this distant foreign land.
The two sisters, whose blood was once thicker than water, are now in a situation where they are not in touch with each other, what is the reason for this?
Sad, incomprehensible, or disappointed! For Gao Yilian's abandonment back then, Gao Yiling has always been haunted by it, and he feels sad and guilty for having such a sister.
Therefore, after discovering her traces three years ago, she didn't go up to recognize her, and in her heart, the sister she once loved was just a disgusting stranger to this day, and she didn't see it!
However, when she made up her mind to return to China, on the afternoon of this Lantern Festival, she seemed to be relaxed in her heart and had a different idea.
Maybe there will be no possibility of meeting her in the future! Could it be that she is so cheap? Obviously, she was the one who let go of her mistakes back then, but it was she and Qu Jinyan who could bear the harm, why? Did she have even the slightest remorse and guilt for her past actions?
She didn't know, let alone what kind of attitude Gao Yilian had towards what she did back then.
"Yi Ling, how about it, do you think about it? If you want to do it, send me your resume, and I'll show it to our president when I get back, I believe there will be results soon." ”
Gao Yiling came back to his senses, his face was slightly solemn, "I...... I'll think about it......"
At night, in a high-end villa, an Asian woman leans on a spacious open-air balcony. She faced the east, facing the evening breeze, and her expression was faintly lonely, which only added a touch of sadness in this no-man's night.
"I must have told you last time, you are not allowed to set foot in the villa without my permission. If there is a next time, I will ask the Modern Family and the police for help!"
There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing, and there was a trace of movement in the quiet night, Gao Yilian looked at the distant gaze, and glanced behind him slightly, and her cold voice sounded.
Appearing on the balcony like a ghost was a white man with an elegant face and demeanor with the elegance and calmness of a traditional Western aristocratic gentleman.
Looking at the slender back with long hair fluttering, the visitor looked admiring and tender, but because the woman was thousands of miles away, he could only wait and see from afar.
A little bitter: "I haven't come to see you for a long time, so I came here today and brought you a gift." ”
Gao Yilian turned around, and to her surprise, what he gave this time was not the so-called precious jewelry, but a red lantern made of oriental paper, and there was a faint candlelight in it.
"Lantern Festival...... Happy!"
Seeing this, the white man smiled and spoke Chinese, which he was not fluent in.
Gao Yilian then turned around, and her slightly soothing voice was heard in the night: "Thank you." ”
Undoubtedly, I was a little pleased, and I used to send all kinds of things that didn't catch my eye, but I didn't expect to get a response today with a small paper lamp.
Taking this opportunity, he wanted to step forward, but looking at the back that was always lonely, he became cautious again, for fear of displeasing the beauty.
Seeing that she had no intention of speaking again, the man hesitated for a while, sighed slightly, and finally gently placed the lantern on the ground, and the next moment, as usual, jumped and disappeared silently on the balcony.
Gao Yilian didn't care about the man's disappearance and departure, so he was silent for a long time, until he felt a hint of coolness, tightened the coat on his shoulders, and then turned around and went back to the house.
It's just that when she found the red lantern quietly placed on the ground, she was stunned again, and her face turned to a touch of affection, as gentle as water.
"Happy Birthday......! Are you alright?"
Far east, at this time, seemed to be in front of her eyes......
