Chapter 274: I Want to Return Home (1)
Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Paris, France
In European style, red clusters of flowers are placed at the front and back of the main hall, green stems are revealed in transparent glass tubes, and slender coconut trees in the corners stretch their long leaves.
The two-row dining table is covered with snow-white cloths, two sets of French cutlery are clean and elegant, and the fuchsia petals of three glass balls are decorated with a mood.
Mu Xiaojing sat alone at a table under the wall lamp, looking at a French menu, turning the pages without hurry.
"I'm sorry... I'm late!" Jesse said apologetically, as the waiter came over, then nodded his head in gratitude to the waiter, and then sat down across from her.
"Am I disturbing the work of the great painter?"
picked up the wet wipes on the plate, wiped his hands, and replied with a smile: "How come, beautiful women meet, who will care about work." ”
He often comes to Paris, and the two of them come out to eat together but rarely. Asking her to succeed, except for once, the others ended in failure. Since she will take the initiative to ask herself today, she must have something to tell him.
"Unexpectedly, our great painters are getting more and more humorous. With a smile on his face, he handed over the menu in his hand, "You come to this restaurant more often, you can order it." ”
“OK...”
After taking the menu and flipping it slightly, he simply began to order, "Smoked silver carp for appetizers, medium-rare steak for starters, foamed oysters for main course, dessert mousse cake and raspberry ice cream, a bottle of red wine, thank you!"
The waiter memorized the menu, said please wait a moment and then stepped back.
There were only two people left at the table, and he took the kettle and poured a glass of water for Mona, "How's the café doing lately?"
"The same old way... If there are more tourists, it will be busy, and if there are few, it will be leisurely. ”
Life, whether busy or idle, is a kind of comfort to live every day.
Mona didn't look him in the eye, she looked down at the table, knowing that she seemed to have something to say, "Is it a good thing or a bad thing to invite me to dinner?!"
Because she knew Mona, the thing she didn't want to talk about was that she made a decision for herself.
Sitting back in the soft chair, she put the photo from her phone in front of Jesse's desk, "My brother is still alive and has never left City A." ”
Look everywhere, don't want him to be where he is. She's so stupid, after so many years, why don't you go back and take a look.
If you find it early, you don't have to wait for three years to know that Xiaohan is alive and well.
Jesse looked down at the photo on the screen in front of the table, and the bottom of his eyes looked like a dull Buddha crown bead, "Then what are you going to do?"
She didn't have a mobile phone, but she wondered who left it.
Leng Yuchen told her in this way that he wanted Mona to take the initiative to return to City A, and that her relatives were more important to her than everything, and she was afraid that going back would be in his complete grasp.
"I want to go back to China once, and I want to see Xiaohan with my own eyes. ”
As long as you really see Xiao Han alive, hatred doesn't matter.
"When you see you, you're going to come back here?"
She was able to find her brother, and he lived in this world, and she was happy for her, but there was a hidden worry in her heart.
The place she went back to was her hometown, and when the time came, would she choose to stay and never come back here, would you?
"I don't know... I think so, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to come back to China if I'll be able to come back. ”
There are things that she can't avoid.
Just like God let her meet Leng Yuchen again, she couldn't escape if she wanted to.
Talking silently, the waiter brought two plates of appetizers with delicate glass lids and a bottle of red wine, put them in front of the table for two, and then closed the lid and left.
The smoked silver carp is decorated with thinly shredded shepherd's cabbage and jelly with apples on the side, which can arouse your appetite just by looking at the color. But now the two of them have no intention of watching and appreciating.
After half a minute, Jesse asked, "When will you go back?"
She is free, how can she be left behind.
"Tomorrow at eight o'clock the plane. ”
Pour down the boiled red wine while raising your glass and give one of them to Mona, "I give it to you, you can't refuse." ”
"Good!" took the goblet and touched his.
He always respects all his decisions, doesn't hold back, doesn't ask more. It was her greatest blessing to know him as a friend.
"Remember, when you see your brother, you must take a group photo and send it to me. ”
Can't be together, at least witness her joy and happiness.
"Hmm!"
