Chapter Ninety-Four: The African Savannah

After the men were busy decorating the New Year's atmosphere of the couplet, red lanterns, unique charms of the Year of the Dragon, paper-cutting and other items, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening of Yanjing time, and 6 o'clock in the morning of Calgary time, so everyone drank some wine, ate some snacks, and slightly cushioned their stomachs, and happily gathered together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, chatting about many things, and there was a burst of singing and laughter in the villa at any time, and the crowd was really lively, although Li Zhiwu needed Li Cheng and others to translate from time to time to understand Western-style jokes, It is undeniable that Mars is relatively active, and occasionally making meat jokes really makes many people can't close their mouths.

At this time, Claire pulled Li Cheng upstairs, and Mars quipped: "Cheng, you go up to Qingqing and me, although I have no opinion, but don't miss the New Year." ”

Everyone laughed, but Li Cheng didn't say much, Claire held Li Cheng, like a bird, at this moment she no longer wears high heels, in order to match Li Cheng's height, Claire is actually a few centimeters shorter than Li Cheng, but wearing high heels, plus fluffy hair, it seems a little taller than Li Cheng, if you don't wear high heels, then they are a good match.

It is indeed enviable to give up beauty for the sake of winning people for love. The reason why Claire pulled Li Cheng upstairs alone to get along was not what Mars said to do intimate actions, after all, in this kind of scene, it is not suitable! And at the beginning of the new year, we have to take into account everyone's thoughts, especially after Claire came into contact with Li Cheng's family, and also understood that traditional Chinese parents don't like to be too open, regardless of the scene's show of affection.

Li Cheng picked up Claire and came to the room, a French kiss made the two enter the state, but Claire thought of the reason why Li Cheng came up, gently pushed Li Cheng away, and said, "Cheng, I have something to discuss with you, it is very important." ”

"What do you have to choose today?" Li Cheng saw Claire's serious look and knew that this was not the time to flirt, so he sat down with Claire face to face and listened carefully to Claire's words.

"That's right, I'm going to the African savannah early tomorrow morning to shoot a documentary on the migration of animals with the camera team, it may take about a month, so I may not be able to accompany you to send your family back home......" Claire said a little aggrieved, drawing circles, very cute, in the eyes of outsiders, Claire is very strong, whether it is work or life, the surname is tougher, but love is an extremely wonderful feeling, which will make people behave completely differently in front of their partners. Claire's expression made Li Chengwan smile, held her hand, and said: "Since it's because of work, there's no need to apologize to me, it's just that where there are wild animals in the African savannah, carnivores are often infested, not to mention that illegal armed forces are rampant in that part of Africa, in terms of security, have your TV stations communicated well with the local political axe organs?" ”

Li Cheng's primary concern is Claire's safety, although he knows that she is not bad, and she has a hand-to-hand pistol that she carries closely, and her hand-to-hand combat and courage are beyond the reach of ordinary people, but after all, she is going to Africa! That's no joke.

Claire bared her white arms and did a standard movement similar to that of a bodybuilding instructor to show off her strength and size, posing in a "dominatrix" posture and saying, "Do you think I can't protect myself?" What's more, this time it was not me alone, but an elite team of Canadian television, with a total of about 20 people. ”

"Well, stay safe along the way, what time do you leave in the morning? Do you want me to send you there? ”

"The plane around 12 noon, after the Spring Festival, after we finish eating, you can just send me back to Calgary." At 9 a.m. local time, it is the moment when Yanjing time counts down to the Year of the Dragon.

The two talked upstairs for a while, afraid that the people below would have opinions, so they went downstairs, and Li Cheng did not tell anyone about Claire's documentary work on animal migration at noon to participate in the filming of animal migration, because this moment is the moment of reunion, cherish the present, is the conclusion that Li Cheng came to after experiencing ocean drifting.

The African savannah is bordered by the Sahara Desert to the north, the tropical forests of the Gulf of Guinea and the Congo River (Zaire) basin to the south, the Ethiopian Plateau to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west.

Claire is going to shoot the 500-mile journey of a herd of millions of antelopes and wildebeests through the perilous Serengeti savannah.

Li Cheng understood that the danger of this place was no less than the crisis that Li Cheng had encountered after drifting in the Pacific Ocean for nearly a month, and Claire tried her best to show lightheartedness, but she was actually afraid that Li Cheng would worry.

After all, the two have only been officially dating for more than a week, and they are in a period of love, so soon they went to work in Africa, which spans the Atlantic, as a boyfriend, Li Cheng said that he was not worried and lost, it was all self-consolation.

Claire also wants to get along with Li Cheng day and night and stick tightly together, but for Westerners, work and love are not in conflict, and modern female surnames must also be developed in their careers, and they cannot simply rely on men to support their families, which is diametrically opposed to the concept of Eastern female surnames.

It is natural for a man to provide for his family, while for a woman to take care of her children at home......

Of course, the current Oriental female surnames have gradually begun to learn Western female surnames, and there are many successful female surnames, but this deep-rooted thinking belongs to a product of a social environment, and it is difficult to eliminate the fixed thinking that has been precipitated for thousands of years.

Claire temporarily left Li Cheng for a while for work, it was nothing, it was just too sudden, Li Cheng's mood was a little fluctuating, but he didn't show it, after all, it would be the Year of the Dragon in a few hours! The Spring Festival, a new beginning, why bother mediocrity?

Claire is right, with her skills, since she can spend the filming on the Amazon safely, then it is the same in the African savannah, not to mention that there is a professional team to go together, it is necessary to worry so much?

When Li Cheng thought about it, his slightly melancholy mood suddenly relaxed, and with some intimate actions from Claire, Li Cheng faintly found that the two had gradually reached a level of understanding, and they didn't need to say anything to each other, they could know what their opponent meant with one look.

This feeling is very wonderful, Li Cheng imagined the picture of the first time he met Claire, and smirked for a moment, which provoked Mars and others to laugh, which made Li Cheng quite embarrassed, but Li Cheng hit back again, wantonly laughed at his relationship with Jenny, and told Jenny the private words of Mars in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel in Vancouver, that is, the evaluation of Jenny.

"Cheng, you guy!" The majestic Mars was furious, pretending to beat Li Cheng, but Jenny grabbed the corner of his clothes, and saw Jenny's face flushed, like a ripe apple, which was instantly pitiful.

Mars was pulled by Jenny like this, he had no idea, and he planned to play with Li Cheng, but he was fixed on the spot. Li Cheng walked over and whispered: "Mars, this is an opportunity, you have to seize it, I have a cleaned guest room upstairs, which can be lent to you, but don't play for too long, the Spring Festival is ready to ......."

"Bastard, I, how could I ......" Mars was still hesitating, Jenny took Mars's arm and led Mars upstairs.

It is estimated that although the two will not step into any step directly, if they get along alone, the relationship will be further deepened.

"Young people are so open nowadays." Li Zhiwu looked incomprehensible, and Li Cheng explained: "Dad, this is the way Westerners get along, since they have feelings for each other, and their relationship is the stage of fiancé and fiancée, it is not difficult to understand what is out of the ordinary." ”

"I mean you! Ah Cheng, what were you two doing upstairs just now? Don't tell me you're playing house! Li Zhiwu's words turned around, which made Li Cheng quite embarrassed, and Claire, who was proficient in some Chinese, was also stunned, and it took a while to understand what Li Zhiwu meant, hiding behind Li Cheng, like a bird with a bow.

"Dad, don't scare people, we really didn't do anything, we just talked about some things about her work, you also know that Claire is a journalist, so she is very busy with work, and she will go to Africa early tomorrow morning to participate in the filming and recording of the documentary 'African savannah', so I told me, mainly because I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I didn't talk to you for the first time."

Li Cheng said and spoke, but Li Zhiwu laughed, walked to Claire's side, his voice became a lot more relaxed, and said: "Claire, you don't have to be afraid that we will be unhappy, just now I just deliberately scared my stupid son, don't take it seriously, young people know how to work, that's like me Ah Cheng he, the boss is not small, thinking about how to be lazy all day long, some time ago I went to Latin America, saying that it was to inspect alpacas, I think it was to travel." ”

Li Zhiwu didn't know the time when Li Cheng encountered it during that time, so Claire wanted to help Li Cheng speak and explain the facts, but was stopped by Li Cheng.

The dialogue between father and son is sometimes more intense, but this is the way the two get along, because everyone knows each other, and the family affection that blood is thicker than water makes them not have an overnight feud, not to mention that it is just a joke, or a small fun.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, Dad, why do you keep exposing my shortcomings, aren't you afraid that Claire won't want me?" The corners of Li Cheng's mouth rose, and he looked at his father with a little meaning, he was testing Li Zhiwu, Li Zhiwu didn't seem to have officially recognized Claire all along, what was he worried about?

Li Zhiwu secretly said that this little rabbit cub was deceitful, and he actually said this in public, which is a little inflexible!

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Li Zhiwu engaged in a "thirty-six plan to go to the top", and did not directly answer Li Cheng's words, but it can also be seen that Li Zhiwu still likes Claire a lot, since he has no objection to his relationship with Claire, it is a tacit acquiescence!

Oriental people are not good at expressing their inner emotions, and they like to hide them. Li Zhiwu's fatherly love for Li Cheng is the same, he has never said words like "I love you", but inadvertently makes you feel the greatness of father's love like a mountain.
