Chapter 183: An Unforgettable Trip
Back at the Solun Hotel, Hu Yiting found that Cao Yunuan, Wu Shihuan and other six people were all gone, probably they were all happily traveling in Cambridge Town at the moment.
Hu Yiting used the phone in the room to call the front desk and asked for an international long-distance service.
Aunt Lucy told Hu Yiting that international calls start at $3 and $1 per minute.
Hu Yiting patiently told Aunt Lucy that he accepted the price and quickly helped him connect.
You must know that the time difference between London and the Northern Capital is 8 hours, and it is now past four o'clock in the afternoon, that is, the Northern Capital has already struck the bell at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Aunt Lucy unlocked the locked international call function for the phone in Hu Yiting's room on the hotel's switch terminal. Hu Yiting hurriedly dialed back to the northern capital.
When Wang Lili's mobile phone rang, she had already gone to bed, and when she picked up the phone, she heard that it was Hu Yiting, and hurriedly asked him if he had a safe journey.
"A qiē is good, we have no language barrier, it was easy to find the hotel. ”
"That's good, you have to be careful, stay safe, and be healthy when you're out and about. ”
"Thank you, Sister Wang, for your concern. ”
After Hu Yiting reported his safety, he hurriedly seized the time to convey his negotiations with ARM to Wang Lili.
"When Harold finishes the contract, I will fax it back to the company, and you can find Liu Shen Intellectual Property Law Firm to review the contract twice overnight, remember to hurry, I don't want to waste time in the UK." ”
"Okay, the company's fax machine is on standby 24 hours a day, I will personally guard the fax machine, as long as the contract arrives, I will immediately find Liu Shen Intellectual Property Law Firm to help check. ”
After telling Wang Lili, Hu Yiting hung up the phone, seeing that the time was still early, the British generally had to delay until after seven o'clock to eat dinner, which was their meal time.
Hu Yiting walked down the green-painted staircase, went out through the front door of the Solun Hotel, which was covered with green vines, and walked west. That's the direction of the University of Cambridge.
Summer is the green season, and looking through the iron fence, Cambridge University is full of green lawns, gardening, and large trees. The staff at the reception said it was too late and that ticket sales had been stopped. Tomorrow is early.
In a secluded corner where no one was around, under the cover of a row of tall and dense beech trees, Hu Yiting dared to climb over the iron railing.
Jumping into the Cambridge campus, Hu Yiting walked deeper as soon as his feet landed, comforting himself with a little excitement that he had saved £10 for admission and £20 for a tour guide.
Cambridge is the top university in the UK. Compared with Oxford, it is more focused on science and engineering, just like Tsinghua University is relative to Peking University. There are many of the UK's top real estate rooms and famous scientists, and for safety reasons, it is closed and visitors need to buy tickets to join a group.
Hu Yiting walked aimlessly along the river on the Cambridge campus, and the willows on both sides of the river hung down goose-yellow branches, as brilliant and plump as a girl's hair. Wooden boats returning from the tour carried tourists, and the tour guide dragged the wooden poles to prop the boats to the downstream pier.
There is an additional fee to visit almost every college in Cambridge, and each old and majestic building is a college, and the white iron railings that are more than one person high isolate the building from the surrounding lawn and vegetation from the campus. It's almost impossible to move without a student ID.
Hu Yiting didn't go far, found an old tree on the bank, sat down in the shade, looked at the wild ducks floating sporadically on the river, across the river, two white-haired old men pushed the stroller for a walk, and the children in the car looked at Hu Yiting stupidly with a pacifier. It is estimated that the other party is a teacher or staff member who lives in the university, Hu Yiting smiled at them, and they also smiled back in a friendly manner.
Reborn these days, Hu Yiting felt so relaxed for the first time. Time in the ivory tower of the university is so charming, the rhythm is soothing, and the environment is pleasant, like a waltz by Strauss. Fresh flowing outside the world.
Hu Yiting gradually immersed himself in loneliness, away from the distractions and the idea of hiding in the university to teach, but he was instantly swallowed up by ambition and **, he was reluctant to give up the glitz and glitz outside the campus, and he was reluctant to put aside the lofty ambition.
He sat until it was dark and left Hu Yiting, and turned out of the campus by the same road. Walked back to the Solun Hotel alone, the night breeze was cold, the air was humid, and Hu Yiting was homesick.
Wu Shihuan and other six people have come back, waiting for Hu Yiting to eat, everyone has played for a day but still maintains a full of interest, ordering food around a long table in the restaurant of the hotel, talking while eating, talking about what they have seen and harvested during the day.
Dinner is a company treat, borscht, roast beef, baked potatoes, boiled carrots, boiled cauliflower, boiled peas, tomato sauce meatballs, the taste is average, but everyone eats with relish, probably because of hunger.
Cao Yunuan sat close to Hu Yiting, holding a beer glass and touching Hu Yiting's cup: "I will always remember this trip." ”
Hu Yiting took a sip of beer: "When I retire in the future, I will find a university to teach, read books and listen to music all day long, and take a walk in the school." ”
Cao Yunuan picked up the huge beer glass and drank it all, her face turned red, and she burped: "Then I will accompany you, I will teach mathematics, and you will teach physics, just like my parents." ”
Hu Yiting gulped down his beer and was silent.
Beer glass by cup, everyone is drunk, dessert is a piece of hotel homemade cream cake, thick cream dotted with red jam, extremely popular, Cao Yunuan ate a circle of white beard on the side of his mouth.
Finally, when the ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce was served, Hu Yiting was already blushing and his heart was panting, he hugged Cao Yunuan and whispered in her ear: "Yunuan, you are a good girl, but I have a child pastor." ”
Cao Yunuan then leaned his head on Hu Yiting's shoulder: "But do you know, from you onwards, I will never fall in love with anyone else." ”
"You will, you're still young, and I'm old. ”
Wu Shihuan on the other side of Hu Yiting heard something, looked at the two of them meaningfully, got up and said to everyone: "It's late, go upstairs." ”
Jiang Yunshun asked the restaurant host for a lunch box, planning to pack the uneaten food, the host found a large plate, put the remaining beef, meatballs, vegetables, and bread on it, and buckled a stainless steel round lid, Jiang Yunshun held the plate: "Tonight's supper." ”
Huang Haishi: "Boss Jiang, Li Xiuming and I will go to your house to play cards in the evening." ”
Peng Bin: "Are you worried that you haven't finished eating the beef?"
Li Xiuming smiled: "It's a pity that there is no beer." ”
The seven of them burped, laughed, laughed, and staggered upstairs.
Hu Yiting sent Cao Yunuan to the door and was about to leave, but she pulled him into the house.
Cao Yunuan quickly pushed the door open, hugged Hu Yiting's neck and kissed him, her lips hot.
Hu Yiting felt that the world was spinning, a wave of blood surged, and he couldn't help but respond fiercely, the two hugged each other, and they separated for a long time, wanting to kiss again, but they seemed to have exhausted their strength.
Hu Yiting turned around and opened the door gently, "Go to bed early." ”
Closing the door, Hu Yiting walked back to his room in a trance, and saw that Wu Shihuan was already snoring in bed, he also climbed into his bed, and finally fell asleep after an hour of psychological struggle. (To be continued.) )
