Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After celebrating his birthday sweetly, the two were busy again, one was researching information to write a paper, and the other was researching a case - he called his mentor, Professor Bai 6, and asked him to help with some treatment cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. When Professor Bai heard that this student, whom he had always been very optimistic about, wanted to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, he packed dozens of g of materials without saying a word, and said, "It's best to write your research into a paper, if there are results, it will be very helpful for your exhibition in the field of traditional Chinese medicine." ”

Professor Bai has always been very good to him, Li Han grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, and his relationship with his parents is cold, Professor Bai is the second elder who really cares about him, and he has always respected this mentor, knowing that Professor Bai is thinking about him, he naturally quickly agreed.

Both of them buried their heads in the sea of books, and they called for a while every night to comfort their lovesickness, and it was Christmas in a blink of an eye. Lydia's holiday runs from December 24th to January 3rd, an 11-day holiday that connects Christmas and New Year's. On the evening of the 23rd, when Lydia called, she asked, "Han, you are alone at home, do you want to go home with me for Christmas?" ”

Li Han hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Lydia, Benedict invited me and Gavin to his parents' house for the holiday last week, and I already promised him. ”

Inviting a boyfriend and girlfriend home for Christmas is the same as asking a boyfriend and girlfriend to go home for the New Year, which is equivalent to the relationship between the two people who want to settle down, and they can discuss marriage after meeting their parents. The relationship between the two of them wants to get married, but it is still a little early, so Lydia also hesitated for a long time, but she felt sorry for him and wanted to be alone for the holidays, so she opened her mouth to invite. After Li Han refused her invitation, she didn't know whether she was disappointed or relieved, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you are spending the holiday alone, since you go to Benedict's house, it will be good, saving you and Gavin from being alone." ”

Benedict had only three days off. From the 24th to the 26th, even the evening of the 23rd was still busy with the show, so it was scheduled to go out together on the morning of the 24th. Benedict's parents live in Swindon, Gloucestershire, in the southwest of England, which is a small city, but the southwest of England is a wealthy area, and the residents are not simple, and the housing prices are high.

The three of them sat on Li Han's GMC. It is that it has a large space and is convenient for carrying luggage, and the driver is naturally Benedict who is half of the owner.

The car stopped in a small driveway, and when Li Han got out of the car, he saw a honey-colored mansion covering a very large area, and a black taxi and a silver Rolls-Royce classic car were parked in front of the door. It's so cool. Li Han glanced at the car appreciatively, and went to the back seat with Gavin to take out the prepared gifts.

What he prepared for the Cumberbatch couple was a bottle of fine red wine and a pot of tall and large camellias, but fortunately, the GMC space was high enough and big, and Li Han also deliberately put away the third row of seats, so he put the flowers in. Camellia is a very famous eighteen bachelors in the Huang Kingdom, the flower structure is peculiar, composed of 7o-13o petals to form a hexagonal corolla. The tower shape is clearly layered, arranged in an orderly manner, and the petals of the adjacent two corners are arranged about 2o rounds, mostly 18 rounds, so it is called "eighteen bachelors", and it is a treasure in the camellia.

According to Benedict, it was his parents who offered to invite Li Han to their home for Christmas, and he had a good relationship with Benedict. The Cumberbatch couple are so enthusiastic, with the habits of the Huang people, the close elders naturally have to choose gifts carefully. It just so happened that almost all the British liked to plant flowers, so Li Han took the trouble to get a plant and adjusted the flowering period with a greenhouse, and just turned around and moved it to their garden.

Li Han thought that the mansion was Benedict's house, and before he could praise the two cars, Benedict took the lead and walked to the side with his luggage. At the end of the road is a small two-story house, where Benedict's house is.

The British pay attention to inheritance, and Li Han does not know if this house has been handed down by the ancestors of the Cumberbatch family. But the house was at least three or four hundred years old, and when he asked Benedict, it was built in the 17th century, in the same style as other old houses in the English countryside: gray bricks, low and dim.

Benedict's parents, Timothy Carlton and Wanda Pansen, were already waiting in the living room - Li Han had done his homework in advance, because Benedict, the world-famous son, and his parents were often mentioned, these two names were actually the stage names of Benedict's parents, and later they were used as serious names, but Benedict did not think that the surname Cumberbatch was cold and awkward, and used it directly.

"Hello, Cold, Hello, Gavin, do you want a drink?" Timothy still bears traces of garden work, and he asked as he poured half a glass of strong gin.

"Thank you, sir. This is a gift for you. Li Han put the flowers aside, the red wine on the table in the living room, and turned his head to look at Wanda, "Hello, madam, you are as beautiful as the screen." Although he said this slightly exaggerated, it was also true, Benedict's mother was a beautiful woman when she was young, and now although she is almost eighty, she still has the charm, and she looks like she is in her sixties.

Wanda welcomed her son's friends with a smile on her face, Benedict was born to her old man in his forties, so he has always been pampered, originally he didn't want him to take the hard road of showbiz, who knew that he had liked acting since he was a child, and now he finally mixed up, which also made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Just call me Wanda, you are welcome to come and play, please treat this place as your home." She smiled, then dragged her husband back to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch.

Benedict took his friends on a tour of the house: "They bought it when I was 12 years old, and look, I took it when I first went to Harrow. He pointed to an old photograph on the wall of the staircase that looked like an oil painting of a thrift store, in which little Benedict wore a huge navy hat and a face that didn't look long at all.

The stairs are full of photos of Benedict as a child, starting with a baby in his hand, and then slowly learning to walk, walking and running, and slowly growing up. Li Han saw a photo of him on a rocky beach in Greece when he was 1o years old, the golden boy was thin and small, wearing swimming trunks, and the snow was cute.

There's also one where Wanda takes off Benedict's pants and kisses his ass. Li Han and Gavin looked at this photo and laughed.

"Your mom loves you very much." Li Han sighed softly.

Benedict nodded, he had seen that Li Han's relationship with his family had been cold a year ago, so he could only change the subject: "I happened to be learning to play the trumpet when I was so old, and playing the trumpet is easy to hurt your mouth, you see," he pointed to his mouth and said, "This is the trumpet mouth." ”

Benedict's mouth is indeed a little strange when you look closely, both in terms of color and shape. However, in the eyes of female fans, it can only be described as sexy, and they only want to pounce on it and kiss it instead of disgusting. Li Han smiled: "No wonder your mouth is so sharp now, I heard that playing the trumpet is the best way to exercise your mouth." "This is, of course, nonsense.

The cottage has three rooms upstairs and downstairs, and upstairs is the master bedroom, the study, and Benedict's bedroom. Benedict's bedroom is small and welcoming, dotted with several potted plants. Li Han was attracted by a small porcelain jar on a dresser covered with cotton, on which was written in floral script: "I feel beautiful and intelligent." ”

"Is this an early affirmation of yourself?" Li Han asked.

Benedict laughed, "Yes, I do feel pretty good. ”

Li Han and Gavin both laughed. Benedict has always been self-believing and personal, and they remember when Benedict first won his Best Actor award, standing on the podium and saying, "I have a long face and a weird name, but I don't admit that my acting skills are dull," he held up the trophy in his hand, "and that's an affirmation of me." ”

Wanda came upstairs and said in a very typical motherly tone, "Can you introduce Ben to a girl?" He's in his thirties and almost forty," she said, with anxiety in her eyes, "can you help him find the girl who belongs to him?" There must be someone in London who suits him, I'm so old that I want to hold my grandson. ”

Li Han had a feeling of seeing Aunt Huangguo in a trance. Benedict defended himself a little awkwardly and awkwardly: "I'm fine now! ”

"Anyway, you've got to find the girl who belongs to you." Wanda said, remembering the purpose of going upstairs, "Lunch is ready, come down and have a drink." ”

Wanda made a lot of delicious food, in addition to beef, potatoes and chicken mushroom pie, there were also Yorkshire pudding and cross bread, which Li Han, a person who doesn't like Western food, also eats with a round belly.

During the dinner, Wanda talked a lot about Benedict's childhood, but Timothy was not very talkative, just smiled and watched them chat. Li Han only realized at this time that Benedict still looked like his mother when he was a child, but when he grew up, his face grew a lot, and he couldn't tell who he looked like.

Benedict's parents never thought of letting their son become an actor, and they knew the hardships of this profession, which is why they raised money to send Benedict to Cairo Public School, in order to get a "proper education".

"It's a pity that Ben has loved acting since he was a child," Wanda said, "and he never stops, and every day he needs to find something to enrich his life, like a whirlwind, it can never stop." He was skinny at the time, but we fed him, really. ”

Wanda's statement made everyone laugh, and Benedict explained: "I had a very fast metabolism at the time, and they were always worried that I had thyroid disease. ”
