Chapter 51: Adele's Invitation (4)
Wearing a checkered wool suit, a purple corduroy shirt, and a black and white plaid silk scarf, he drove to the side of the road in front of the Consul's Villa in Wilden and stopped to find Lao Yi, who bought him a bouquet of roses and a bottle of perfume. When he walked to Wildon's villa, Hu Wenkai blamed Lao Yi for hurting him, this rose and perfume as a gift will cause ambiguity, Adele is a married woman, don't think that Hu Wenkai loves her beauty. Lao Yi instigated him to take Adele in, anyway, he didn't say it, no one knew, French women were romantic by nature, maybe they would fall in love with Hu Wenkai.
Shaking his head and glancing at Lao Yi, the two of them handed over the invitation to the gate guard, Hu Wenkai didn't take it seriously when he received the invitation that day, and threw it on the desk, where is the invitation now. Annan guards took Lao Yi's invitation but directly invited Hu Wenkai to enter, the last time Adele told Hu Wenkai to come without a report to enter at any time, Lao Yi quickly followed and said that there must be adultery.
Adele didn't stand under the foyer to greet the guests, presumably it was a casual dinner. In the living room on the first floor, six or seven people were chatting around Adele, who was wearing a black lapel suit, a white silk shirt with a scoop neck, and her long pale blonde hair was draped casually and naturally over her shoulders. Seeing Hu Wenkai walk into the living room, she handed the wine glass in her hand to a gentleman beside her and greeted her.
Adele has been paying attention to Hu Wenkai for a long time, and since Edmund has often brought Hu Wenkai's views back after getting acquainted with Hu Wenkai, Adele is an out-and-out feminist and naturally resonates with Hu Wenkai's views.
The first time they met, Hu Wenkai's handsome appearance and elegant conversation made her feel that he was completely consistent with what she imagined. His father, Wilton, was very considerate of Hu Wenkai, and often mentioned Hu Wenkai's foresight analysis of the situation in the Far East at home, saying that Hu Wenkai was more suitable than Edmund to be a military attache for intelligence analysis. Before Wilton returned to China, Adele was cheeky and asked her father to let Hu Wenkai take more care of herself, but Hu Wenkai never came, not even a phone.
The last time the Dewey family went to West Lake for a vacation, she felt very uncomfortable, so she wrote to Hu Wenkai to blame him, and when she saw Hu Wenkai's reply, she remembered that this was China, and it was not convenient for a single man to ask her to go on vacation alone. Last week, Edmund wrote that because Japan was caught in the war with Soviet Russia in the Far East, his vacation was also canceled, and he had no hope of meeting her in Shanghai, and asked Adele to go to Tokyo to meet him, Adele especially hated the atmosphere in Tokyo, and wrote back the day before yesterday that she could not leave for the time being because Apleev's family was coming to Shanghai. She was idle at home, thinking about letting Hu Wenkai take the initiative to find her, but she didn't know that in the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue, only she took the initiative, and this small-scale dinner party was born.
Adele greeted Hu Wenkai and put her arms around his neck, kissed him on both sides of the cheek and said, "My father's envoy to protect flowers is here." ”
Lao Yi thought not far away, and he was really said to have an adulterous affair. Adele took Hu Wenkai's hand and returned to the group, introducing that this was Hu Wenkai, his father's protector when he returned to China. The group were all in their twenties, and there was not a single Frenchman, a clerk at the British Consulate, a secretary at the American Consulate, a couple from the Spanish Consulate, and two British girls on vacation in Shanghai. The group of people began to think that Hu Wenkai was from the Japanese consulate, but after chatting for a while, they realized that this was the organizer of the last newspaper that they had organized a team to drive to West Lake.
Fluent in English and humorous conversation, two British girls began to take an interest in him, and the two girls surrounded him and kept asking about what to do in Shanghai. For passers-by, Hu Wenkai doesn't want to waste time at all, and Hu Wenkai doesn't think that he is lethal to all girls, these situations are more than seen in later generations, and the two girls just use their own charm to let Hu Wenkai serve their vacation.
Adele felt a little sour in her heart, and pulled Hu Wenkai away with self-deprecation and said, "You three young people are talking and are not ready to eat?" Take a seat. ”
Hu Wenkai took Adele's wine glass and sent Adele to the table, Adele pointed to the seat next to her and smiled and said, "Hu Wenkai let you sit among the flowers today, but you have to hold yourself." ”
"With Miss Adele by my side, I'm never going to fall into the flowers." He sat down against her and replied casually.
"Ha, I don't understand that." Adele leaned sideways closer to him.
"You are the most beautiful and beautiful French rose, I only care about you, so where do you come from?" After saying that, Hu Wenkai regretted it a little, and found that he couldn't control it*.
"Oh, I'm old and a wife, even roses are once roses." Adele smiled brightly.
"Unmarried is a budding rose, but it has no fragrance, and married is a blooming flower like you, which exudes an attractive fragrance." He found that he couldn't control his mouth anymore, like picking up girls in a nightclub after drinking.
Adele whispered, "Then you can smell the fragrance well." ”
The atmosphere at the dinner party of young people is always so noisy, and the British are inherently enemies of the Russians? Hu Wenkai was a little puzzled. The clerk of the British Consulate and Lao Yi had been familiar with each other before, and the two began to compare the amount of wine as they spoke. The whole banquet was quiet and watched them drink, Adele seemed very excited and ordered the servants to serve the wine, one person put a bottle of wine in front of them, the two raised a large glass of red wine and began to drink it with the appearance of a gentleman, Hu Wenkai knew that Lao Yi didn't want to fight the amount of wine so much, that is, it was difficult to ride a tiger, and after drinking slowly for a long time, someone said that the topic shifted attention, and he would pretend that it didn't happen.
Hu Wenkai suggested a joke, and Adele looked at him and laughed and said, "No, we have to wait for them to win." He picked up the wine glass in front of him and walked between Lao Yi and the Englishman and said, "This is how the French fight wine, and I will make a demonstration." He looked up and drank a full glass of wine and pressed the glass upside down on the tablecloth.
The young people naturally started to laugh together, and the two English girls stood on each side and encouraged Lao Yi and the Englishman to speed up their drinking. Lao Yi still couldn't control his speed, and the three bottles of wine staggered to the sofa and collapsed. The British were not much better, and they were taken to sleep on the sofa by the servants on the table directly.
Adele said to Hu Wenkai with a smug expression: "Don't you want to tell a joke?" ”
"I thought of a joke just now, but now I forgot about it." Hu Wenkai replied.
"You're fooling, or I'll say one first, and it's your turn to say that you must say one that makes me laugh." Adele dangled in the dining chair and motioned for the waiter to change the wine, and the waiter changed to a large bottle of vodka.
Adele pointed to the wine on the table and said, "Let's take turns to tell jokes, a joke is a glass of wine, and more than five people laugh and the narrator doesn't drink the joke, and vice versa." ”
It's a game they should play often, and everyone at the table is eager to try it.
Adele stood up and walked behind Hu Wenkai and said while making movements: "A beautiful woman accidentally hung up her swimsuit when she ran into the pool, and the boys stared at her when they saw this. At this time, the beautiful woman walked along the edge of the pool, noticed that something was wrong, and grabbed a sign to cover the key parts...... The boys laughed at this point! The beautiful woman thought it was strange, and later found that the sign said "for men", so she quickly changed her face.
But when she changed her face, the men laughed even louder, and it turned out that - the sign said "Two meters deep here"! ”
Hu Wenkai drank a glass of vodka and a hot wire passed through his esophagus, he was not interested in the joke at all, the key was that the movements imitated by Adele were too funny.
