Chapter 15 Book Gifts
On the third day, Xiaoyuan did not continue to come as he did two days ago, and when he was in Gyeongbokgung Palace, Xiaoyuan told Li Ming, saying that she might not be able to come in the future, because Xiaoyuan's vacation has ended, and then she will start that not easy trainee life.
In this regard, Li Ming expressed his understanding.
For this reason, Hyo-yeon, who has been close to Li Ming a lot, felt very sorry and apologized repeatedly, which made Li Ming have a new understanding of the importance that Koreans attach to etiquette.
If this is the case in China, if the temporary guide cannot continue to be your guide, the better one will apologize to you, then explain that he cannot continue to be your guide, and then introduce you to a new guide that you can choose from, or maybe just notify you and it will be over.
There are few sincere apologies like Xiao Yuan, which made Li Ming a little unaccustomed at the beginning, for Li Ming, things like this, just say it, everyone will understand, who knows that Xiao Yuan apologized to Li Ming a total of five or six times until he left, and he also bowed.
Even though Li Ming had repeatedly expressed his understanding and explained that it was okay, Xiao Yuan still looked very guilty and sorry.
This makes Li Ming no longer able to complain!
Xiaoyuan also left her contact information to Li Ming, saying that if Li Ming contacted her when it was time to leave South Korea, she would come to see Li Ming off.
Li Ming also thinks that this little girl is also quite good (in addition to loving bowing and apologizing, God knows if all Koreans are like this).
That day, when he came back in the afternoon, he said to the little girl: "Filial piety, you wait first, don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something for you, it should be a memorial!"
It's just that when he stayed with Hyoyeon for two days, Li Ming learned some Korean habits. Koreans sometimes use the word 'yah!' after their names.
Now that's how Li Ming calls Xiao Yuan, 'Xiao Yuan!'.
Hearing that Li Ming was about to give him a gift, Xiao Yuan instinctively wanted to refuse.
However, Li Ming's attitude was very resolute. It is said that it is a gift for the memory of Hyoyeon, and it is not valuable.
Listen up. Xiao Yuancai and Li Ming went to the hotel, and when they returned to the room, Li Ming took out something from his package.
It was a book, Li Ming handed the book to Xiaoyuan, and said: "Xiaoyuan! This is my book, I will give it to you as a souvenir, and I am very grateful to you for being able to accompany me in the past two days." ”
As if this was not enough, Li Ming thought about it. He said, "Ancient Persian Mida!" (thank you)"
Then Li Ming asked with some uncertainty: "Is that right?"
Originally entering Li Ming's room, Xiao Yuan was a little nervous at first, and she also saw that the gift that Li Ming was going to give to herself was a book, which was indeed not a valuable thing as Li Ming said.
This made Xiao Yuan ready to accept Li Ming's gift, and Xiao Yuan decided before coming up, if it was a more expensive gift, she would not accept it, since it was a book, there was no problem in accepting it.
And now the stupid Li Ming's stupid way of speaking made the last trace of tension in Xiao Yuan's heart disappear. Li Ming at this time was something she had never seen before, and it also made Xiaoyuan laugh involuntarily.
"Ohba! It's kaawoyao!"
Li Ming learned and said, "kaawoyao!"
Although Li Ming was very puzzled why Hyo-yeon's thank you was not pronounced by Smecta, Li Ming only remembered that Koreans liked to end their words with Smecta when they spoke. However, the thank you that Xiaoyuan taught him did not use Smecta, but Li Ming still followed Xiaoyuan honestly.
"Yes, Oba should use kaawoyao for me......."
Li Ming nodded seriously and said, "kaawoyao!"
Xiao Yuan also nodded his little head and said: "What Oba said just now also means thank you, but Oba should say it to his friends who are the same generation as Oba, and ......"
Next, Xiao Yuan explained to Li Ming the difference between the ancient Persian Maida and Kaawoyao.
Li Ming was dizzy when he heard it, and finally he just knew that for Xiaoyuan, he should use kaawoyao. And not the ancient Persian Mida!
Li Ming really can't understand why Koreans are so particular about just saying thank you. For different people, elders, peers, juniors, strangers, and acquaintances, thank you in different ways.
Li Ming felt that this Nima's was more difficult than English.
As for the comparison with Chinese. That's even more incomparable, who is to say that Li Ming is only really proficient in one language, Chinese! Can speak, write, and sing!
Of course, Li Ming would never say that because he is Han and knows Chinese since he was a child, he feels that Chinese is very simple!
Gently stroking the book with his hand and looking at the book that was still very new, the book cover was very thick, and the packaging was also very good, Xiao Yuan suddenly thought of a question, looked at Li Ming with his eyes open and asked in a very positive tone: "Oba likes this book very much, right?"
Xiaoyuan's question made Li Ming stunned.
Hyo-yeon continued: "If you don't like it very much, Oba won't always have the book with you, right?"
Li Ming touched the back of his head with his hand: "Oh! I should like it! All the contents in it, including every word, I clearly remember it in my mind!"
Xiao Yuan wrinkled his little nose, handed the book to Li Ming and said, "Since this book is such a precious thing for Oba, then Xiao Yuan can't accept such a precious gift!"
Li Ming knew very well what Xiao Yuan meant by preciousness, obviously, Xiao Yuan thought that this book was a very important thing for Li Ming, so Xiao Yuan asked a question, and Li Ming returned the book to Li Ming after answering.
However, there is a misunderstanding here.
Li Ming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This book has some special meaning for me, but it's not as ...... as you think."
Of course, it has a special meaning, which may not have been in the previous life, but it does have such an extraordinary meaning in this life!
Looking at Xiao Yuan's increasingly confused eyes, Li Ming said: "Let's put it another way! I wrote this book, and this is a sample given to me by the publishing house!"
On the thick book cover, a few big characters were written on the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - those things in the Ming Dynasty.
That's right, this is the novel that Li Ming wrote in Tianya, and was favored and published by a large publishing house, the most important point is that the real original author of this book is not him, of course, this is only known to Li Ming himself, and perhaps he is the only one in this world who knows.
Now what Xiaoyuan is holding in his hand is the last sample of the publishing house, which was sent by the publishing house to Li Ming, the author, and the novel has begun to be released on the shelves. (To be continued) R1071
