Chapter 670: First Love
……
After walking out of the Van Gogh Museum and sending a text message to Fang Zhonghua, Liu Dong drove the two to a Chinese restaurant not far from the museum.
This is what he occasionally saw on the way to the museum, although it was the first time he came, but he happened to borrow flowers to offer Buddha.
The restaurant is not too big, but it is very clean! And from the menu, most of them are Liu Dong's favorite Lu dishes, which is unexpected and somewhat joyful.
Find a window facing the street, and the three of them sat down together.
"If you want to eat something, you can have it!" Liu Dong said.
"You're in for a treat?" said Alyssa.
"Of course!"
"Then you're welcome!" Because she is a good friend with Mei Xue, Alyssa also has a soft spot for Chinese food.
Maybe it's the foundation of the relationship, and after a few years of precipitation, there is no embarrassment and shyness between Liu Dong and Mei Xue, but there is some silence, and some don't know where to start!
"I received a call from Liu Fangfei some time ago, and I heard him talk about you!" After a long silence, Mei Xue said softly.
"Yes, but it saves me a lot of tongues!" Liu Dong chuckled.
Hearing this, after glancing at him, Mei Xue continued, "Why didn't you call me?"
"It's not clear on the phone about the matter between us, I originally planned to tell you again at the year-end class reunion, but I didn't expect you to study abroad directly, and then something happened, and it has been delayed until now!" After a pause, Liu Dong looked at the more and more familiar Jiaojing in front of him. Said slowly, "Besides, now you, do you still need my phone?"
Mei Xue naturally heard the meaning of Liu Dong's words, and faced Liu Dong's clear eyes. Ning said: "Of course you need, I think Liu Fangfei should have sued you when she told you about me!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong smiled faintly, and those who were familiar with him could see the joy from the heart in his smile, and Mei Xue naturally saw it.
So she laughed too.
"What about you? More than four years have passed. Do you still need this affection from me?" Mei Xue said directly.
But before Liu Dong could answer, Alisa next to her complained: "I said two, can you say it in English, after all, I am also sitting next to me, don't you think you respect me so much?"
Regardless of Chinese or foreign. As long as it is a woman, there is no one who does not gossip, and Alyssa, who has long seen that there is a story between Liu Dong and his sisters, is very interested in this.
"We're just talking about what we want to eat!" After glancing at Liu Dong, Mei Xue smiled.
"Only fools believe it!" muttered, and Alyssa secretly made up her mind that she would inquire after dinner. You must know that her best friend is the new flower of Oxford University, and after half a year of arriving at the school, her suitors can circle around London three times!
I believe that this gossip news will definitely make the whole school a sensation.
"That's right. Liu Dong, do you have something to do in the afternoon?" Halfway through lunch, Mei Xue seemed to think of something.
"Nothing. This time I came to the Netherlands mainly for tourism!" Liu Dongdao.
"That's good, we're going to take a yacht to Coles Island for a picnic in the afternoon, and you can come along!" Mei Xue said expectantly.
Hearing this, Liu Dong's heart moved, and then he smiled: "Okay!"
"Hey, it looks like James' idiot is completely hopeless this time!" Alyssa shook her head and sighed.
The three of them finished eating. Under Elisa's guidance, Liu Dong drove the two girls to the docks in Amsterdam. When the three of them got out of the car, they were on a white yacht about 15 meters long in the distance. Two young men walked down at the same time, the first one noticed that Liu Dong standing behind the two women was just a little surprised, but the latter looked at Liu Dong, who was more intimate with Mei Xue in words and deeds, and he didn't have a good face.
Of course, Liu Dong has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, after all, there is never a shortage of suitors around beauties.
"Honey, who is this?" The young man who came first walked around Alyssa's thin waist and looked at Liu Dong behind him with inquiring eyes.
"Oh, this is Xue's high school classmate Liu Dong, we met when we were in the Van Gogh Museum, and this time we are also going to Coles Island!" said Elisa.
"Our yacht is not big, there is no place for him!" said Alyssa, just as she finished speaking, a second young man who followed her said unceremoniously.
This obviously unwelcoming attitude immediately made the atmosphere awkward.
"If Liu Dong doesn't go, then I won't go either!" Mei Xue said without hesitation.
"Xue, don't listen to him, James guy is talking nonsense!" Alyssa hurriedly grabbed Mei Xue's wrist, and then gave her boyfriend a color.
Seeing this, Blind sighed in his heart, if Mei Xue left today, then his friends would have no chance in the future!
"Hello, my name is Danny Blind, my friend just said nonsense, welcome to join our travel team!" said the young man who stretched out his right hand towards Liu Dong.
"My name is Liu Dong, and it's my first time in the Netherlands, so it's a pleasure to meet you!" Liu Dong said indifferently.
Although I understand that these people are not welcome to join except Mei Xue, it doesn't matter, although Liu Dong is young, after nearly five years of polishing in society, the common shortcomings of young people such as impulsiveness and good face have long disappeared in Liu Dong.
And he wanted to take the opportunity to figure something out!
"I'm going to duel with you, those who win can pursue snow, and those who lose can give up!" At this time, the young man behind Blinder stepped forward and looked directly at Liu Dongdao.
"Judge, don't go too far, I have nothing to do with you!" Mei Xue said angrily with a tense face.
"James, don't be impulsive!" said Brindra, his friend.
"Duel? It's ridiculous, do you still think it's the Middle Ages? Of course, if it were the Middle Ages, you would have died a long time ago, and if you want to win, you can't just have a good body to decide!" Liu Dong said coldly.
Although Liu Dong is more than 1.8 meters tall, James is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and he is strong and strong, he should have practiced taekwondo or judo and other kung fu, but in Liu Dong's eyes, there is still no threat at all.
"You're ......!"
"Alright, James, don't make a fuss, or I'll be angry too!" said Alyssa.
She knows her best friend, and if she really makes James trouble, I'm afraid this trip will really be in vain.
"Hmph!" After glaring at Liu Dong fiercely, James turned around and returned to the yacht.
"I'm sorry, Liu Dong, my friend didn't mean to!" Blinder said.
"It's okay!" Liu Dong shook his head.
It can be seen that this Danny Blind has a good family background and is very well educated, although he doesn't like Liu Dong, he still maintains the most basic politeness.
However, after this outing, what was supposed to be a joyful trip was obviously depressed.
"Liu Dong, I didn't expect this to be the case, I wouldn't have come if I knew it earlier!" Mei Xue said in a low voice.
"Hehe, it's okay, isn't it over now?, and I didn't suffer any losses, and I made a trip that didn't cost anything!" Liu Dong comforted.
Hearing this, Mei Xue looked at Liu Dong's indifferent face and said softly: "You have really changed, if you were still in high school, you and James would have fought a long time ago!"
"Everyone changes, more than four years is not a short time, we are all mature!"
Thinking of his young and vigorous high school days, Liu Dong said with a hint of emotion.
After nodding silently, looking at Alyssa who was standing at the bow of the boat beckoning, Mei Xue said in a low voice: "Let's go too, the boat is about to leave!"
"Yes!"
……
Koles Island is a small island 25 nautical miles northeast of Amsterdam, only 58 hectares in size, the island has no fresh water, no human habitation, only a 17th-century lighthouse still stands, once a fishing boat stop, now many people come here on weekends for picnics and fishing, Blind is one of them.
Because it is not far from Amsterdam, it took about an hour for the yacht to dock on a wooden pier left by its predecessors.
Soon, Blind and Liu Dong took the initiative to move the tents, sleeping bags, barbecue ingredients, meat and vegetables needed for camping to the beach not far away.
Because the estrangement is still there, except for Mei Xue in the middle, only Alyssa will take the initiative to communicate with Liu Dong.
"Snow, let's go swimming!" said Alyssa, who had already changed into a three-point swimsuit without any scruples, and took Mei Xue's arm.
Hearing this, Mei Xue subconsciously looked at Liu Dong.
Looking at the eagerness in her eyes, Liu Dong smiled and nodded, "Go, when you come back, I'll make you something to eat!"
"Why don't you come along?" Mei Xue hesitated.
"No need, I'll lie down on the shore, you guys go first!"
"Alright then, I'll be back soon!"
Nodding, after watching the two girls leave with a silver bell-like laughter, Liu Dong found a shady place to lie down, with the soft sand under him, the sea breeze came slowly, the blue sea and blue sky, the sun was shining, and everything was so beautiful.
"If only there weren't these two guys in the way, then even better!"
Glancing at Blind and James who were about to swim in the distance, Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.
Because he came suddenly, Liu Dong didn't bring any clothes himself, and the clothes in the mustard seed space couldn't be taken out in public, so after resting on the shore for a while, Liu Dong put away the barbecue utensils on the shore.
Looking at the beef and mutton, chicken legs, chicken wings, fish and various vegetables, etc., Liu Dong, who had nothing to do, filled it with charcoal, lit it and barbecued it.
