● In the evening, the 76th residence of Mingcui Villa. After Li Youran and Sun Xiaoying had dinner, they first went to Mingcui Lake for a walk together, with a sigh, the lakeside road in this section of the villa is sparsely populated, quiet and elegant, and the wind on the water surface is cool and blowing, making people forget that they are in summer, and their tired spirit is lifted.

After the sun sets, the surface of the lake is a deep turquoise blue, and the heavy shadows of the mountains and the willow swaying in the wind gradually become blurred.

From time to time, the sound of flapping wings and a few crisp chirpings can be heard on the surface of the water, and the waterfowl have returned to their nests one after another after a busy day. The stars on the horizon began to slowly appear.

After slipping around for half a circle, Sun Xiaoying took out her mobile phone to check the time, and said that the TV series was about to start, so she urged Li Youran to return.

Li Youran knew that this was the little girl's biggest hobby, so she had to let her go home together

Sun Xiaoying turned on the plasma TV in her fifties in the living room, sat on the sofa and watched the TV series.

Li Youran was not interested in this, so he came to the study on the east side of the second floor to surf the Internet.

The study is large, nearly 30 square meters, and there is a curved pool against the south wall, in which a steep mountain peak made of upper water stones, and some aquatic plants attached to it, a waterfall simulated by a water pump cascades down from the top of the mountain, and falls on the lower stone, splashing a piece of flying jade.

Li leisurely walked over, turned off the water pump switch, and the room suddenly fell silent.

By the window is a large solid wood desk, and there is only a 20-odd LCD monitor on the desktop. There were three sets of bookcases next to the desk, and I was ashamed that most of them were empty.

Li Youran doesn't have many books, and he basically relies on the Internet to check what information he needs, and he rarely buys physical books.

I heard that in order to meet the needs of some people who do not love and want to be elegant, some merchants have specially produced a decorative book, that is, the shell is the same as a normal concubine book, but the inside is filled with styrofoam, which is most suitable for the simulation of hardcover tomes and wire-bound books.

Li Youran thinks that most of the corporate executives and CEOs interviewed on TV may belong to this kind of consumer customers. In front of the camera, he talked about corporate culture and ideological inheritance, and the bookcase behind him was full of all kinds of hardcover books, which were new and tidy, which seemed to be highly knowledgeable and admirable.

Li Youran doesn't have this hobby, just empty it, anyway, there are more empty places in this house, and as time goes by, something will slowly fill it.

He turned on his computer and started surfing the Internet.

was browsing the news, suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing on the desktop, his eyes did not take off the screen, stretched out his right hand to grab the phone, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, who's that?" He asked nonchalantly.

There was a giggle on the phone, followed by a crisp and sweet female voice.

"Boss Xiao Li, you can't remember me coming, right?"

It's Ling Wanru, yes, her voice is very special, pure as a stream in the space with a hint of charm.

Since she was sent to Australia for further study, the two have not been in touch for some time. The first few days were a bit melancholy.

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Youran suddenly felt a warm current surging in his heart.

He grabbed his phone, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Like, are you okay?"

"Okay, remember me. Hee-hee, I'm fine, but I'm not used to eating here, and to be honest, I really miss your farm buns. Ling Wanru said.

"It's a pity it's too far, or I'll send you two packs. But I heard that the roast kangaroo meat over there is good, haven't you tasted it? Li said with a smile.

"Not to mention the kangaroo meat, the local restaurants are all very old, rubber-like, and you can't bite into it. The taste is still a little sour, not delicious at all. Ling Wanru complained.

"It's normal that the tastes are different in different places, and we can't get used to eating seven or eight medium-rare steaks here. You can't just go to a Chinese restaurant owned by a Chinese? It's summer, is it hot over there? Li Youran asked. …,

"Giggles, classmate Ranzi, you're really funny, it's winter here in Melbourne, how can it be hot? You're going to be criticized by the teacher. Ling Wanru laughed again.

Li Youran slapped his head, isn't it, Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, and the four seasons are opposite to here, in August, it is not winter over there. Alas, I almost gave this knowledge back to the geography teacher.

"International calls are too expensive, let's talk to the penguins. What is your number? Ling Wanru stopped laughing at him and prepared to change positions.

Li Youran hurriedly returned to the computer and looked for his penguin. Since he never chatted online, he hardly used this game after applying.

Ten minutes later, the two of them connected to the penguin chat.

Ling Wanru first talked about her own situation, the current study is going well, and it may end early. Melbourne is not too cold in winter, with an average temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius. She also visited several other cities, and the environment in Australia is very good, but she still prefers Tianhai City, maybe because she is used to it.

Then she asked about Li Youran's current situation.

Li Youran did not hide it, saying that he opened a branch, and then bought a single-family house here in Mingcui Lake, and the environment was very comfortable.

"Mingcui Lake? I've been there once, and it's really nice. I'm so envious, how about waiting for me to return to China and find time to stay for two days on vacation? Ling Wan typed a line of words on the screen, and added a cartoon bear's expression with gold stars in his eyes.

"Okay, welcome, as long as you have time, you can stay as long as you want, to be honest, the people around me are busy, usually there are only me and Sister Xiaoying in the house, it's very lonely." Li Youran responded.

Then, Li Youran told her that he had added bun varieties to his steamed bun shop, as well as spicy cold noodles, and was now preparing to develop beef ramen.

In addition, the various sea bass and mandarin fish in the pond are even more delicious.

"Don't say it, you're going to kill me. Hey, in order to cater to local habits, many dishes in Chinese restaurants here are not authentic. After typing this sentence on the other side, with a complaining expression.

Maybe after spending a long time outside, she misses domestic catering even more.

Li Youran thought about it for a while and told her that there was no way to get other things, but he had a new good tea that could be sent to her, but he was not familiar with the procedures of international mailing.

Ling Wanru was very happy when she heard this, of course she knew that what Ranzi had in his hands here would naturally not be bad. She told Li Youran that someone from the school was going to come to Melbourne next week, and she would contact her and entrust someone to bring it.

Li Youran naturally agreed, telling her that the things would be placed in the bun shop, and her colleagues could come and pick them up at any time.

After finishing the chat, Li leisurely stood up and slowly came to the window, outside the window was the various lights in the community, as well as the hazy shadows of the trees under the lights, and the night of Mingcui Villa was actually very beautiful.
