Chapter 142: Late Night Thanks
Belle regretted it.
Not long after entering her luxurious box, she regretted it.
Not for fear of the threat that Aemon was angry with to tell reporters, nor for anything else.
Instead, she regretted that she came back alone and didn't tell Zhuo Qun.
So when she came back, the first thing she did was to call Zhuo Qun on her mobile phone.
But alas, no one got through.
And soon Bei Lu found that there was a faint ringtone of the mobile phone in the box next door.
Finished!
Bei Lu immediately understood that Zhuo Qun must have put his phone in the box like her.
Of course, this is normal.
Because on this train, there is no such person who is committed to his work and every second counts.
On the contrary, they are all people who can enjoy the joy of life, rich and leisurely.
And any electronic equipment is against the norm, and naturally no one will bring modern communication tools to the dinner party and do anything to ruin the atmosphere.
But that's what makes it bad.
Beilu couldn't help but begin to regret her recklessness and worried about Zhuoqun's safety.
What if Zhuo Qun came back from the bathroom and found that she was gone?
Those who hate it shouldn't be that fast, either.
If they deliberately made trouble for Zhuo Qun in order to retaliate, wouldn't he be too wronged?
She's happy, she's gone.
But the man who drinks is impulsive, and the three of those bad boys, who knows what will happen.
In case of......
In this way, Beilu is like a child who causes trouble, and begins to worry about the worst outcome.
Ten minutes have passed, and Zhuo Qun still hasn't come back, so she is naturally getting more and more anxious.
I had the heart to let Fan Hong look for it, but this girl fell asleep again.
Looking at Fan Hong's sleeping face, Bei Lu was actually quite distressed.
She knew that people followed her 24 hours a day, always alert, physically and mentally tired, and it was rare to relax her nerves.
If she woke up Fan Hong for this little thing, she would be a little embarrassed.
After all, people are her bodyguards, not her thugs, and the essence of work is just to maintain her safety.
In this way, Bei Lu couldn't figure it out.
Restless, she involuntarily walked out of the box and wandered in the corridor.
By this time, it was past ten o'clock in the evening.
Passengers returning from the dining car are either asleep or ready to rest, and almost every room is silent.
The Orient Express was running in the silence of the night, the windows had been curtained, and it was dark outside the window, and nothing could be seen.
A sense of loneliness gripped Beilu's heart, and she became more and more overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the service of this luxury train is cost-free.
In order to provide 24-hour service to passengers, there is a special person on duty even at night.
At the end of the corridor across the carriage hallway, there was still a conductor saluting Beilu.
He was the only one in the carriage tonight who couldn't sleep.
So this is convenient for Beilu.
She had an idea and quickly beckoned the conductor over.
Then he pushed the door back to the house and took out a hundred euro bills, and entrusted the conductor to go to the dining car to help find Zhuo Qun.
He also requires that once a conflict is found between Zhuo Qun and others, it should be reported to the train manager in time to resolve the dispute.
With such a high salary, the conductor was naturally willing to serve and was very happy to go.
Next, Beilu was a little more steady.
According to her idea, only one of them on the train was Asian.
There is no possibility that the conductor will not be able to identify and cannot find it.
Then with the help of the service staff, the problem should be solved quickly.
But she was wrong.
Well, waiting left and right, even the conductor is gone.
It took half an hour to finally get the conductor back.
But what's even more unexpected is that.
The conductor not only failed to complete the task of finding someone, but also told her that she couldn't find Zhuoqun even after walking all over the train.
Instead, she brought her a cart of sweets with a bouquet of white roses for supper, claiming to have been entrusted by another gentleman.
Looking at the line on the message card, "A bowl of Italian soup woke me up, I am extremely ashamed of the drunkenness just now, and I sincerely apologize for your offense - Aaron Wilson"
Bei Lu really wanted to overturn all the food in this car to the ground, and then scolded this inexplicable conductor.
But at the moment when she couldn't help but walk into the box with anger and wanted to hang the conductor outside.
She suddenly noticed some details that had just been overlooked, and her mood changed completely.
She paused and turned around and asked, "What does this gentleman look like who told you to do this?"
The conductor couldn't help but be stunned and hesitated for a moment before prevaricating.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I can't describe it, he doesn't seem to have any distinctive features. ”
"Don't you think he's a little thin? He's not wearing glasses?"
"Oh...... He didn't have glasses, but he was a little skinny. ”
"Alright then, thank you, please get into the box. ”
Women are always a little clever.
No longer doubt that the conductor is pure nonsense.
It is for this reason that Belo gladly accepted this apology gift.
When the conductor left, she picked up the bouquet of white roses and sniffed it.
I even think that this place is simply full of roses.
Even the air that is maintained by the central air-conditioning system has become fresh and pleasant.
Next, she woke Fan Hong up and couldn't wait to share the joy with her.
"Don't go to sleep yet, get up and eat some baked brie and brownies with me. Sweets are an indulgence, don't leave me alone with this guilt. Let's drink a little more hot cocoa and you'll sleep better later. ”
That's it, waiting is no longer anxious, but light-hearted and happy.
Until the dining car was withdrawn, Fan Hong fell asleep again.
Beilu washed herself and changed into pajamas, and she didn't give up waiting.
deliberately held the book, like the great detective Poirot in the book, staring at the movement in the box next door.
Finally she heard the door open.
Then a spirit jumped up from his chair, opened the door, and walked out.
So Zhuo Qun, who had just returned to his carriage, was blocked.
He was about to change his clothes, and looked at Beilu who pushed the door in surprise with a surprised face.
Especially for her provocative gaze, she is a little confused.
"I said, what's wrong with you? Who's messing with you again?"
"You!"
"Me, what's wrong with me?"
"Where have you been, and why did you come back so late?"
"I ...... There's something to do. You're not mistaken, are you? You're going too far to get angry about this. Miss, you didn't say goodbye first. I didn't say anything about it, and I didn't complain at all......"
"But you're teasing me. I hate dishonesty the most. Do you think of teasing people as something very proud, something very interesting?"
"No, where did you start talking about that? I ......."
Zhuo Qun was about to argue, but he could see her persistence from Bei Lu's expression.
And Beilu also took out the apology card signed by Aemon in his hand, and he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.
"Well, I wrote the card, and I sent the stuff. But I didn't mean it......"
Zhuo Qun can't help but confess, he is like a child who has done something bad and doesn't catch him.
It's just that he is also very curious and can't figure out where his flaws are.
"You...... How the hell do you see through my handwriting? No way, you don't know that much about me......
"You've drunk too much wine, and your mind isn't as smart as usual. ”
Beilu chuckled before revealing the secret for him.
"Think about it, if that bastard is really how he would have known to prepare two cutlery for me? How did he know that I like Bray and Brownie and hate Almond Cake?"
Of the three desserts provided by the dining car, he chose what I liked, didn't give me what he hated, and prepared a tableware for Fan Hong. Such thoughtfulness is incredible. ”
"What's more, the person who delivered the food obviously went to find you for me, but he couldn't describe the face of that Amon at all. It would be foolish if I didn't know what was going on?"
"Alright, now it's your turn. What the hell is going on? Why are you doing this? What the hell do you think?"
For this reason, Zhuo Qun suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh, women are really delicate animals.
"Well, there's nothing to hide. I'll be honest with you about what's going on. ”
"After you left, when I came back to the dining car, I was a little confused, I don't know why you left. And the three bastards who offended you at the time were still drinking in their seats. ”
"They thought I didn't understand and deliberately said something very excessive in German. They make fun of me and curse you. I would have liked to ask the manager of the food truck, but I don't need to. I wish I hadn't heard, but I did, and I was annoyed by what they said. ”
"Then I didn't leave, I continued to sit down and drink, forcing myself to act as if nothing happened. At the time, I thought, I can't let these bastards just insult you like that, and talk nonsense behind your back, and I have to teach them a lesson. ”
"What exactly? I have to say, a big hand is more than just a matter of winning or losing for the rich. Many men see this as a way to find dignity and build self-confidence. ”
"So later, I pretended to be a little too drunk and called the manager of the food truck. Said I didn't want to sleep yet, and asked him if there were any high-end cards in the car. And exposed his own lucrative wallet. So the boys were fooled, and they invited me to sit down and drink, and asked me if I would like to play cards. ”
"I insisted on following the traditional rules and asked for a special box to play cards, and let the train manager act as a witness and hand out the cards himself. And only gamble cash. Participants, each with a minimum stake of €20,000. They agreed. It was at this time that the conductor you sent found me. ”
"You know what? It just helped me a lot. I'll let those boys wait for me in the carriage first, while I'm ordering supper for you. Under the pretext of insomnia, I gave the conductor a hundred euros and asked him to help me find some medicine that would help calm my nerves. ”
"This little prop is my magic weapon for victory. I twisted it into powder and put it in the wine of the three boys when I handed the wine in a magic trick on the game. It's not enough to put people to sleep, but it's enough to make the mind unclear. ”
And they, although they know some tricks, they inevitably make mistakes frequently. They had no idea that I was doing something outside of poker. And just like that, I took all the coins from their pockets in the open. ”
"I think it's hard to see them at dinner for the rest of the journey. Because you can't tip, it's a shame for the upper class. I'm afraid they'll have to stay in the carriage honestly. ”
"As for why I'm impersonating that Aammon, it's no joke. I just feel that you deserve more respect from them. Even if you don't want to accept it, you can still drop these things, but you will feel more comfortable because of it. ”
"After all, the most important thing in life is mood. You followed my advice before embarking on this journey, and I don't want you to regret it. Speaking of which, I'm not completely lying to you. Because it's really their ......."
In Zhuo Qun's endless explanation, Bei Lu had unconsciously approached him.
"Okay, I get it. I don't need your apology now, I want to give you my thanks. ”
Beilu said softly, "Thank you for arranging this trip, thank you for everything you did for me." You've done so much for me. You don't have to be so thoughtful ......."
Zhuo Qun relaxed, exhaled, and was about to laugh.
didn't expect Bei Lu to hook his neck and lower his head.
This is the most peaceful and comfortable time in the early morning.
The wheels whizz across the railroad below, rocking everything in a steady rhythm......
After that, the journey of the Orient Express seemed to be even better.
Although Fan Hong will not be close to Zhuo Qun, she can't express her dissatisfaction anymore.
Those three nasty Brits, sure enough, never reappeared.
And now that the relationship between Zhuo Qun and Bei Lu has made a breakthrough, this trip is obviously more suitable for them.
They couldn't help but resume the conversation in the capital three years ago that had not completely removed their defenses.
Zhuo Qun told Bei Lu all the ridiculous things he had done that he had deliberately concealed.
and the taste that the heart really has to carry in a solitary life.
And Bei Lu also told Zhuo Qun that she regretted her hasty life decision and the joy of achieving career success in the freshman.
She had indeed forgotten the sorrow of her previous life, and longed to live in a dream.
In short, it's completely natural, completely natural.
They have a lot to talk about, a lot of secret emotions to share, and a lot of deeper thoughts to share.
Therefore, they often appear together in the observation car, or in the piano bar, as if no one is around.
In the eyes of many curious and envious eyes, they are like a pair of wealthy Chinese lovers who came out for their honeymoon.
And because of their generosity and the level of tips they gave, Zhuo Qun and Bei Lu also became the objects of competition among the food truck service staff.
In this way, you can enjoy many unique privileges.
For example, sometimes because of the large number of noisy people, they can get the key of the staff and walk to the small open-air platform at the end of the train to be alone.
Here, on a rickety metal platform.
They can bask in the sun and breathe in the fresh air while chatting freely to the gaze of birds and deer.
It's like blending in with the scenery outside.
