Chapter 290: Principles
When they drove to Matthew's house on time and rang the doorbell, the heavy footsteps of the enthusiastic Matthew rang out on the other side of the door, and Leon suddenly stood in front of the star.
Sure enough, the two men who opened the door and looked at each other were a little surprised.
Matthew was depressed, and when he opened the door, he saw a handsome guy, not the star he had been waiting for.
Leon was not surprised to find out that Matthew was a sunny boy, and it was a little surprising that Xing'er should like this type, why did he refuse in the first place?
The two looked at each other expressionlessly, until Xing'er peeked out from behind Leon and greeted Matthew.
"Hi Matt, long time no see!" Xing'er can only greet her old friend through the iron wall that Leon has built in front of her. His already broad body is now on crutches, and the narrow door leaves no room for Xing'er.
Seeing Xing'er, Matt's expressionless face suddenly changed 180 degrees, revealing a large, very friendly smile.
If Leon hadn't been in the middle, he would have probably gone over and given her a big hug.
After a pleasantry, Xing'er generously introduced Leon as her fiancΓ© and how he was injured yesterday. Matt looked at Leon with an undisguised look of envy, after all, Xing'er had clearly rejected him before, and he was really envious of the man in front of him.
Matt also understands why they chose to come ice fishing, after all, Leon has limited mobility, and relatively static activities are more suitable for him.
βββββ
After greetings, he took out the equipment for ice fishing, told Xing'er to change them on, and went out to sort out other necessary equipment.
Xing'er took the initiative to take the outdoor clothes and help Leon change them.
"Sunshine boy, I thought this was your favorite type?" Leon asked half-jokingly, he really thought that the young man just now was tall, handsome and energetic, and he met the standards that Xing'er said. Why was it rejected?
"There is a way to steal. I'm most afraid of an innocent big boy like him. It is absolutely impossible to accept an open relationship if it is simply like a piece of paper. If you really sleep with him, you'll probably be 'responsible' for me. How troubled my conscience must be. Alas... But you're right, it's a pity. Xing'er sighed and truthfully explained her heart.
Matt is the typical kind of big boy like the pure and clear waters of Alaska, different from the bustling city men and women like New York, and his very sincere and even clumsy kiss can tell how innocent he is in front of his feelings. The people here are simple, single-minded, and fiery. Where will you accept the general attitude towards feelings in the game world, or don't frighten the child.
Xing'er never wanted to hurt such a big boy, so although she felt that it was a pity, she really never regretted her rejection of him.
Leon looked at Xing'er approvingly, and the more he got to know the little woman, the more he admired her.
"It's rare that you are so conscientious and principled!" Leon knew the reason, and couldn't help but want to tease her even more.
"Shhhh People are coming! Xing'er made a gesture to shut him up. Matt got everything in order and motioned for them to go.
Xing'er was just busy helping Leon get dressed, and she didn't get anything herself. So, he urged the two big men to go out, while he stayed behind and quickly put on his equipment.
Leon followed Matt into the car first, and the two of them didn't say a word, really not knowing what to say. In the end, it was Matt who broke the awkward silence.
"You're so lucky that Xing'er can agree to marry you." Matt's tone didn't have any sourness, it was full of blessings.
"Indeed, I am blessed to have her." Leon, too, is true.
"I have a few friends who are also very worried about her, and I didn't dare to tell them that Xing'er came here this time." The heartthrob star does have a few little fans in the local area, which Nora seems to have mentioned before, so Leon is not surprised.
The two of them said that Xing'er had already changed his clothes and was ready to go.
Once in the car, Matt drove to the popular ice fishing spot. The only downside is that it takes more than 1 hour to drive. After all, one of the requirements for ice fishing is to have a thick enough ice surface, and there are very few safe areas within the urban area, so you still have to drive farther.
Today is another particularly good day, and the further away you are from the city, the more intensely you can feel the pristine nature of Alaska. In the distance, a clear blue glacier shimmers in the sun, and the sunlight from the sky will refract in different planes to create gorgeous small rainbows that appear in all corners; Patches of evergreen wilderness are reflected in the snow, and the frozen rivers hide great life; Tame reindeer walk slowly in herds in the suburbs; Dense forests, wide lakes, and a group of sled dogs in the distance seem to be running wild with tourists, and the delighted tourists scream again and again, happy! The free bald eagle soars in the sky, everything is so beautiful and beautiful.
Matt turned his head and asked, "Why did you suddenly want to come over and play?" Xing'er's itinerary reservation was quite rushed, which was very different from the style she had notified very early in the past.
"I came with him, he is usually very busy with work, and his holidays are not fixed, so he can only see stitches." Xing'er replied naturally.
Matt didn't ask any more questions, and along the way he enthusiastically introduced his life for nearly a year, in addition to taking various tours when he had free time, he is now studying oceanography at the University of Alaska, determined to protect the marine ecology here and help fishermen maximize their industry.
Xing'er praised this. In fact, many people in the United States only slowly discover their true passion after stepping into society, and only then do they go to school more purposefully.
Matt, for example, went to join the military for two years after finishing high school, and returned to his hometown after retiring from the Navy to help his family. His father was a well-known local fisherman, and he grew up with it, so eventually he found his passion for his family's business, but he wanted to get involved in a different way.
Xing'er also enthusiastically shared that there are some things happening around her, many of which Leon never knew about, such as Xing'er can also dive, and she has also obtained a diving certificate, and plans to come here to dive when the spring flowers bloom. You know, even in the spring, this is always Alaska in the polar circle. Even in non-winter seasons, it is an absolute low-temperature dive, which belongs to the category of extreme sports. Matt is a local who knows the allure of this extreme challenge, but few girls are so interested. Every year, many Russians come to challenge, and in the end it is a fighting nation.
Leon was stunned, and wanted to persuade Xing'er not to do such a dangerous thing, but he didn't say it. In short, Xing'er's colorful life made the two big men listen to it with relish, and the long drive seemed less boring. Soon they drove to their destination.
