The next morning, Zhong Xiaoling simply cleaned up, wrote a post-it note to Zhong Xiaozhen, and left before everyone woke up.

When Zhong Xiaoling walked on the road, she felt an inexplicable sadness, and she didn't know why.

"Didi! Zhong Xiaoling had just walked out of the gate of the community, and a car was parked beside her.

The man rolled down the window, revealing dark chestnut curly hair, a stiff silhouette, thick eyebrows, deep eye sockets, bright eyes, a tall nose, and a shallow smile.

"Little girl! It's me! I didn't expect it! ”

"Gao Zhongming! Aren't you in the UK? Zhong Xiaoling was startled when she saw the people in the car.

"I'm in China to attend a Michelin-starred chef's meeting, to check the market situation, and if possible, I'm going to open a restaurant in China. Of course, I also made a special trip to see you, what are you doing out so early? ”

Zhong Xiaoling got into the car and told Gao Zhongming what had happened in the past few days. Gao Zhongming didn't drive when Zhong Xiaoling spoke, just looked at her quietly with a shallow smile.

In Zhong Xiaoling's 26 years of life, the most romantic thing is to meet Gao Zhongming. A year ago, Zhong Xiaoling, who was still studying for a master's degree, was offered a place as a foreign exchange student and had the opportunity to continue her medical studies in the UK. Although Zhong Xiaoling no longer had low self-esteem at that time, after all, she went to the UK alone, and the feeling of being adrift still made her suffer, and sometimes she would not say a word for a day. Once Zhong Xiaoling went to the pedestrian street supermarket to buy something, she lost her way when she came out, and the fear of being in a foreign land overwhelmed her, she carefully analyzed the awkward English on the street signs, and kept asking passers-by, but everyone said different routes. Dusk pushed the sun below sea level little by little, and Zhong Xiaoling's steps became heavier and heavier, her eyes were soaked with tears, but she stubbornly did not let it fall. At this time, she saw a coffee house, The stars of dreams. There was a young man standing in front of the store, and the afterglow of the setting sun hit him, outlining his straight body. He was closing the store, turned his head and saw Zhong Xiaoling standing not far away, looked at it for a while and seemed to understand something, and then walked over and said in fluent Chinese, "Lost?" Do you need me to send you back? For the first time in a foreign country, Zhong Xiaoling received care from strangers, and the grievances in her stomach completely exploded, crying in front of him. Gao Zhongming was stunned for a moment, then patted her on the shoulder, and said clearly in her ear, "Which school is it?" ”

Gao Zhongming sent Zhong Xiaoling back that day, and then carefully explained to the doorman that Zhong Xiaoling was lost, and finally watched Zhong Xiaoling walk into the dormitory before leaving. Since then, Zhong Xiaoling will go to the café when she has nothing to do, and sometimes she can stay all afternoon just with a cup of coffee. When Gao Zhongming is not busy, he will chat with Zhong Xiaoling, I don't know why, he likes to chat with this little girl very much, although he is only two years older than Zhong Xiaoling, but he still likes to call her a little girl. Zhong Xiaoling also likes to chat with him, she likes to listen to his soft but magnetic voice, she likes to look into his eyes, big and bright eyes, as if she can speak. In this way, Zhong Xiaoling and Gao Zhongming gradually became acquainted, and they became more and more intimate. But eight months later, Zhong Xiaoling was about to return to China, and when she left, she found that she had fallen in love with Gao Zhongming, and she really hoped that Gao Zhongming would like herself when she left, but she didn't ask. At the airport, Zhong Xiaoling looked at Gao Zhongming and said silently in her heart, "I like you." Zhong Xiaoling knew that she might never come to England again, and she might never see Gao Zhongming again.

In fact, after returning to China, Zhong Xiaoling has been regretting why she didn't even have the courage to speak.
