Chapter 284: Los Angeles, Lee Cheol-jun's home
Lee Cheol-jun's home is in Los Angeles, California, USA. It took about thirteen hours to take a plane from Haizhou.
It was the first time for Du Xiaowei to sit on a plane for such a long time, and there was a time difference of more than ten hours. So, it's very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Li Zhejun was considerate and bought a first-class ticket. The chairs are large enough to lie down and rest.
Shortly after the plane took off, Li Zhejun handed her an eye patch and said, "Put it on, sleep for a few hours, and then get up and play two games of chess with me." β
Du Xiaowei nodded.
She knew that Li Zhejun was helping her with jet lag.
Nothing was said all the way, and the next night, Los Angeles arrived.
After getting off the plane, Du Xiaowei couldn't help but shiver, and Li Zhejun hurriedly took her into his arms.
Although the climate in Los Angeles and Haizhou in winter is not much different, the nights are still a little cold. Li Zhejun helped her button up her coat and handed her a scarf.
Du Xiaowei said: "It's not so exaggerated, right? β
Li Zhejun insisted on putting the scarf around her neck. Du Xiaowei's heart warmed, so she didn't say anything anymore.
Taking the luggage, Li Zhejun took Du Xiaowei's hand, took the escalator, turned around, and walked all the way out of the labyrinthine terminal.
Standing at the door, Lee Cheol-jun answered a phone call. A cool-looking black sedan came to a halt in front of them with a clatter.
This car Du Xiaowei feels familiar.
Take a closer look, it turned out to be a domestic Hongqi H7!
Du Xiaowei couldn't help but be stunned, as if she had suddenly returned to China. She rubbed her eyes, it was indeed a red flag car. The bright red car logo and the two big red letters at the bottom clearly told her.
This is indeed the flag of China's domestic cars, the time-honored brand - Hongqi car.
She was surprised because this kind of car is rare in China. Unexpectedly, in a distant foreign land, the first car I saw was the "Red Flag".
Seeing Du Xiaowei staring at the car in a daze, Li Zhejun smiled proudly: "What, I didn't expect it, right?" β
Du Xiaowei said: "I really didn't expect it, I remember in China, I only saw a customer drive such a car. β
Li Zhejun said: "This is my father's car, although he is in the United States. However, he only liked the "red flag". Let's get in the car, there's more surprise in the back. β
With that, he helped her open the car door.
Du Xiaowei came back to her senses and sat in the car obediently.
In the car, Du Xiaowei looked curiously at the city in front of her. I heard that Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, and it seems to be worthy of its name.
Los Angeles at night is full of high-rise buildings and brilliance.
However, in terms of perception, Haizhou seems to be superior.
More than ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a tall building.
Obviously, this is a hotel.
To be precise, it's a five-star hotel.
Li Zhejun asked the driver, "How did you send us here?" β
The driver replied: "This is the old gentleman's arrangement, I am afraid that Miss Du will not be suitable." Spend one night in a hotel first, and the jet lag will fall. The room and dinner have been arranged and there is a reception in the lobby. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning...... Miss Du, are you okay? β
Du Xiaowei hurriedly said, "It's okay, I also want to rest early." β
She thought that this old man was quite considerate. After flying for more than ten hours, she didn't want to go to see him so disgraced.
Li Zhejun saw that Du Xiaowei had no opinion, so he agreed: "Okay, you go back first." β
When I came to the lobby, I was greeted by a white-skinned, blue-eyed waiter.
βWhat can i do for youοΌ (How can I help?) οΌβ
Both of them understand English, so they know what she says. Li Zhejun introduced himself and Du Xiaowei in English. The waiter smiled and nodded, and helped them pick up their luggage: "Please follow me!" (Please follow me!) οΌβ
The waiter led the two to a superior single room on the seventh floor and opened the door.
Du Xiaowei asked in English, "Why is there only one room?"
The waiter looked at them with some embarrassment: "You only have one room reserved. (You've only booked one room.) οΌβ
Li Zhejun said: "Then we want to book another one." β
The waiter spread his hands: "Sorry, there is no room." οΌβ
Li Zhejun had no choice but to nod his head, give some tips, and let her go.
Walking into the room with luggage, I saw that the glass cover on the dining table was indeed full of sumptuous dishes.
The soup inside was still steaming.
Obviously, these things have just been put on the table.
Du Xiaowei happily ran over to take a look and shouted loudly: "Wow, there are so many dishes, all Chinese food!" Hey, and stomping the head of the pepper fish? β
Li Zhejun said: "This time, you know how good my dad is, right? Specially asked someone to bring food over. β
Du Xiaowei licked her lips: "Mmmm, I misunderstood him......"
After not eating for more than ten hours, Du Xiaowei was already hungry. She couldn't wait to lift the cover, grab a chicken leg and stuff it into her mouth: "Well, it's delicious!" It must have been made by our Chinese chefs! β
Li Zhejun reminded: "Hey, pay attention to the image...... Wash your hands before eating, if my dad sees it, it will be indecent. β
Du Xiaowei said: "I know, it's not that I haven't arrived at your house yet." β
Although he said so, he still went to the bathroom with Li Zhejun to wash his hands before returning to the dining table.
Reaching out to grab the chicken leg again, Li Zhejun said, "Don't grab it, use chopsticks, right?" β
Du Xiaowei waved her hand: "No matter!" β
As he spoke, he grabbed the unfinished chicken leg and continued to nibble.
Seeing this, Li Zhejun couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Okay, I'll grab it too!" β
After speaking, regardless of the image, he reached out and grabbed a piece of chicken wings and stuffed it into his mouth......
After a wolfing meal, the two began to think about how to sleep. Li Zhejun said: "You won't want me to sleep on the floor again, right?" What does my dad mean by that? β
Du Xiaowei laughed twice: "It seems that your father misunderstood us......" said, and pointed to the sofa behind the dining table with a blushing face: "You don't have to sleep on the floor, you can sleep there." β
Li Zhejun looked at the room and said, "Don't you need it?" The bed is large enough to sleep two people...... Let's use the model of Lugu Lake, right? Sleep half of each. β
Du Xiaowei's pretty face turned red again: "Don't think about it, you have to sleep on the sofa tonight." Otherwise, your dad really thinks ......"
Speaking of this, Du Xiaowei hurriedly stopped.
Li Zhejun said: "Okay, I'll be wronged for another night." In the future, I will ask you to repay ...... double"
As he spoke, he made a hug motion.
Du Xiaowei stepped aside and helped him tidy up the sofa. Then, I took a quilt and pillow from the bedroom and threw it on the sofa.
"Okay, wash and sleep, I'm going to see your dad tomorrow!"
β¦β¦
The next morning, the two had just eaten breakfast brought by the waiter, and the driver who drove last night came.
"Childe, the old gentleman asked me to pick you up."
Li Zhejun and Du Xiaowei hurriedly packed their luggage and went downstairs.
After the driver put their luggage in the trunk, he returned to the cab and started the car.
More than half an hour later, Li Zhejun's home arrived.
This is a high-end villa located near Chinatown. The antique exterior wall, the pavilions inside, and the eaves and paintings are like a small Forbidden City.
Du Xiaowei sighed: "Such a big house? β
Li Zhejun said: "Yes, it was built in imitation of the building of the Forbidden City. β
Du Xiaowei said half-jokingly: "Unexpectedly, your father also likes copycats?" β
Li Zhejun pointed to the driver: "Be quiet, don't talk nonsense." I'll take you to Chinatown in two days, and you'll know what a cottage is. β
By this time, the driver had already taken their luggage out of the trunk. Then, he handed it to a woman dressed as a servant, and said, "This is the luggage of the son and the lady, take it to their room." β
The maid went with his luggage.
Then he said to Li Zhejun: "Childe, you take Miss Du in, it is estimated that the old gentleman has been waiting in the living room for a long time." β
Li Zhejun nodded, took Du Xiaowei's hand and walked inside.
On the side of the road, several servants who were mowing the lawn saw Li Zhejun coming, and quickly stood up and bowed deeply to him.
Du Xiaowei was already a little apprehensive, and when she saw these servants being so respectful to Li Zhejun, she felt nervous.
"Zhejun, your dad won't ask me to do this, right?"
Li Zhejun grinned: "No, it's the same as in China, just call your uncle directly." These servants are all Japanese, and that's how they behave. β
Du Xiaowei was relieved.
After a while, the living room arrived.
The living room is also very atmospheric, all wooden structure, Qing Dynasty style.
In front of the screen, there is a row of delicate tables and chairs.
Just as I was about to enter the door, a woman dressed in Japanese costume. Bending over, he very humbly placed two pairs of cotton slippers, one large and one small, in front of them.
After changing into shoes, Du Xiaowei found that above the lobby in front, there was an old man sitting in good spirits.
Li Zhejun shouted loudly: "Dad." β
The old man nodded slightly. Du Xiaowei also hurriedly shouted: "Hello uncle! β
The old man shook his head and pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down!" β
Then, he waved his hand to the servant next to him, and in a few moments, two cups of thick fragrant tea were served.
The old man smiled at Du Xiaowei: "I just arrived in the United States, are you still used to it?" β
Du Xiaowei said: "It's okay, I rested for the night. β
The old man said, "Just get used to it...... Drink tea and taste the dragon well of West Lake! β
Du Xiaowei picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, her mouth was astringent: "It's so bitter!" He spat on the ground. β
Li Zhejun was taken aback: "Xiaowei, you ......"
As he spoke, he hurriedly took a sip, and it was really bitter! "Dad, what kind of dragon well are you? Why haven't I drunk it? β
He didn't understand why his father wanted to entertain Du Xiaowei with such tea.
Li Haonan laughed: "I just want to see if she is very honest." β
Du Xiaowei's face was covered with red clouds: "Uncle, I ......"
Li Haonan said: "Don't be weird, I like to play tricks on people." β
As he spoke, he waved to the side again. Two more servants came with two cups of tea. Du Xiaowei had a long memory this time, and she didn't rush to drink, but secretly winked at Li Zhejun.
Li Zhejun understood, and hurriedly took a sip of tea.
This time is the real Longjing, the entrance is sweet and refreshing, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Seeing Li Zhejun's intoxicated expression, Du Xiaowei took a sip with confidence. Li Haonan watched the performance of the two of them quietly, and was very satisfied.
