Chapter 8: The First Lady's Cafe

The long period of quick memory made Bruce's head feel a little swollen, but he didn't choose to stop, because he only had this short moment, although he had memorized a lot of things, but he couldn't miss a single detail, every detail could mean the success or failure of this operation.

He uses a sketch method to memorize, first memorize some key small fragments firmly in his mind, and then deduce the whole thing through these key small fragments.

Qin An seemed to be really asleep, and he didn't pay attention to everything around him, however, his sleep seemed silent, as if he had stopped breathing, but the slight rise and fall of his chest seemed to tell people that he was still alive, just asleep.

The big screen suddenly became dark, all the text and picture materials were played, Qin An also woke up on time, he stood up, gently closed the computer, and pulled out the safety key, his series of movements did not make the slightest sound, Professor Bruce turned his body from the black screen of the screen, the whole person faced the snow-white wall, and his head kept piecing together everything he saw.

Qin An packed everything and returned to his seat, quietly waiting for Bruce to remember all this. After about half a cup of tea, Bruce turned around, looked at Qin An, who was looking at him, and said with emotion: "A great epic!" ”

Qin An smiled, then made a silent gesture, looked at his watch again, confirmed the time, and said, "Mr. Bruce, when it's time for tea, do you want to go and have a drink together." ”

"Mr. Qin An," Bruce called, but the rest of the words didn't come out.

"Oh, Mr. Bruce, there's an old Chinese saying that the guest is the host." Then, as if he was afraid that Bruce would not understand the meaning of this sentence, he said again "The guest should comply with the wishes of the host"

"OK, afternoon tea." As he spoke, he stood up and shook his head from side to side, as if the work just now was very tiring.

Qin An opened the door of the conference room and made a gesture of please, and Bruce followed him out.

Li Ruochan looked at Liu Jue who was far away, she suddenly had a trace of curiosity about this young man, they didn't have any unnecessary conversations along the way, just wandered around slowly, and then, at the gate of his school, they stopped.

The boy looked at the beautiful sunset, and then said to the woman, who had walked half a block with him, "Goodbye! ”

The woman subconsciously replied: "Goodbye!" They seemed to believe that they would meet each other again.

The woman watched the figure in front of her gradually disappear, looked at the positioning red dot on her phone, and slowly walked back in the direction she came.

"Hey, Li Ruochan." Hill popped out of the nearby shop, his expression revealing the slightest change in mood.

"Well, did Professor Bruce send a message?" Li Ruochan asked.

"Not yet." Hill replied.

"Then let's find a place to live first! We can't wander around this street all night! Li Ruochan said.

"Okay, let's look for it while walking, but there shouldn't be a five-star hotel in this town, so we'll have to settle for it." Hill said helplessly.

"Don't be aggrieved, it's nice to be able to find a place to live, it can't be better than sleeping on a tree in the Amazon jungle and being bitten by mosquitoes." Li Ruochan was a little teasing and comforted.

"Yes, let's go forward, the first place to stay, where we are going tonight!" Hill walked straight forward as he spoke.

Professor Bruce and Qin An came to an afternoon tea room, where the architecture was very retro and surrounded by many beautiful plane trees.

The waiter skillfully took Qin An to the second floor, he was a frequent visitor here, and every time the work was completed, he would hide here and enjoy a moment of peace.

The waiter stood sideways, and did not hand over the tea list, he knew that Mr. Qin An was a frequent customer here, and he knew every tea and coffee here.

Qin An looked at Bruce who was looking outside, and then said to the waiter:

"Two glasses to the First Lady."

The waiter bowed slightly, then quietly retreated, and after a while, two glasses of the first lady were brought up by the waiter, and the whole process did not make a sound, as if afraid of disturbing the interest of the guests.

Qin An gently pushed a cup of coffee in front of Bruce, took a cup of coffee himself, and the small coffee spoon slowly rotated with Qin An's fingers, and the coffee cup brought out one circle after another ripples.

Bruce came back to his senses, looked at Qin An on the other side, and slowly stirred up the coffee in front of him, and said in his mouth: "It's a very good place, don't you introduce it?" ”

Qin An looked at the surrounding furnishings, and then said:

"The First Lady's CafΓ©, which Chiang Kai-shek built for his wife Soong Meiling, including the surrounding plane trees, was also planted by Chiang Kai-shek's subordinates, but it is said that the proposal was made by the First Lady.

The place where we are sitting now is surrounded by beautiful plane trees, and the layout of the whole plane tree is like a chain of a necklace, and the building we are sitting in is covered with blue glazed tiles, just like the sapphires on top of the necklace. ”

"It's a great design, but it's too extravagant for people to do anything great if they want to enjoy it." Bruce said.

"You're right, but Song Meiling is also the first lady, she is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, at least I admire him, she knows several foreign languages, during the period when Chiang Kai-shek led the Nationalist Government, she was Chiang Kai-shek's diplomat, she once appeared in the American people magazine as a woman, what a strange woman!

It's just a pity that we were born in different eras, otherwise I would have to pay a visit to this legendary woman. ”

"Mr. Qin An, it's really elegant, but people like me can only yearn for this kind of life." Bruce said with some envy.

"Mr. Bruce is laughing!" Qin An responded, but he had already unhurriedly put a cup of coffee to his mouth, and then, feeling the temperature a little, he drank a cup of coffee in his stomach like a whale swallowing a cow.

Bruce was a little surprised, this Chinese style of acting is completely incomprehensible, and it seems that everything can be done surprisingly.

Professor Bruce looked at the slightly cold coffee in the cup, and then looked at Qin An, who was looking at the scenery opposite, and said:

"The coffee is not good when it is cold, can I change the cup?"

"Of course." Qin An turned his head and clapped his hands gently.

The waiter trotted upstairs.

"Sir, how can I help you?"

Qin An looked at Bruce, gave the waiter a very kind smile, and then said:

"This gentleman's coffee is cold, please change a hot cup for him."

"Yes, sir, please wait a minute." The waiter finished and left.

"Mr. Bruce, enjoy this rare tea time! In the evening we started talking about business. Qin An looked at Bruce, who looked absent-minded, and said.

β€œThe guest should comply with the wishesof the host!” Bruce looked at the sunset in the sky, it was so beautiful! Blooming before destruction is always so beautiful.

"Hehe, Mr. Bruce is so humorous." Qin An said with a smile.

Liu Jue has returned to school, looked at the ten-yuan electronic watch in his hand, there is still half an hour, and the time should be enough.

There are people coming and going at the entrance of the corridor, and class is about to start, everyone is hurrying towards the classroom, and there are still a few days to take the college entrance examination, and there is not much time left for them, Liu Jue just stood at the entrance of the corridor below the teaching building, his eyes wandering around unconsciously.

"Hey, you're waiting for someone?" The person who asked was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, her hair was draped around her waist, it seemed that she had just been washed, the smell of shampoo was still very strong, and Liu Jue could smell it when the breeze blew gently.

"Ah, oh, yes, here you are! Which, didn't eat in the afternoon, this is for you. Liu Jue gave her the hot and sour noodles and dried tofu in his hand.

The girl took the food and said casually:

"Actually, I'm not hungry anymore, don't be so troublesome, after a little time, you still ran to the street to drip!" The girl seems to have thought of something!

"No, my classmate just came back from there, just along the way, so I asked him to bring some back, you go eat quickly, it's going to class in a while, it's not delicious if it's cold." Liu Jue said.

"Alright! Thanks, I'll go first! Good bye. As she spoke, she went upstairs with her food.

"Goodbye!"
