Chapter 392: Life on the Island
Shen Xian took her two children to rest in the homestay on the seaside, and when she took the two children to such a beautiful and beautiful place, her mood suddenly became relaxed.
For her, the disturbances in the country seem to have become a matter of another world, and even Xiao Jiu, who has always been in a bad mood, has become cheerful when she arrives here.
He has been here for many days, and Shen Xian deliberately blocked communication with China, except for contact with Professor Shen, no one else has contact.
This kind of life without anyone disturbing is really comfortable, except for the occasional night when I sleep, I can't help but dream of the days when I was with Fu Shen.
"Mom, Albert said that today is especially suitable for catching the sea, we are going to play together, do you want to be together?"
Fu Qingyun pulled Xiao Jiu, who was wearing a small sundress and a big-brimmed hat, standing at the door, holding a small bucket in his hand, and there seemed to be a bunch of things in it.
"It's too hot at the beach, when you and your sister go to play, remember to wear sunscreen, mom won't go, I want to sit in the yard and read a book today."
Shen Xian said and took out a book from his back, pointed to the recliner in the courtyard of the B&B and said with a smile: "I'll just sit there and read, and when you return with a full load, tonight's dinner will depend on you." ”
"Don't worry, Mom."
Fu Qingyun pulled his sister and left in high spirits.
The Albert that the two children said was none other than the Albert who had been with Gu Yingran.
Shen Xian was also extremely surprised when he suddenly met him here, he never thought that the man who used to be a surprise in the European market would now become a small boss who opened a homestay hotel on this small island in Sri Lanka.
However, meeting familiar people in such an unfamiliar environment, Shen Xian's mood is still good.
Later, in the small talk, Shen Xian finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that after Albert and Gu Yiran separated, he was completely depressed. He himself has a habit of gambling, but he still had hatred in his heart before, and he couldn't tell what kind of mind he had to live a drunken life.
Later, the revenge was avenged, his so-called father was completely bankrupt, and Xuanhe's family was completely wiped out in this drunken world.
Albert thought he would be happy, but then he found that his life was a little empty, although everyone was saying that he was an upstart in business and the object of everyone's pursuit, but after a long time, Albert suddenly found that his life was so boring.
In this life of flamboyance and emptiness, Albert gradually began to lose himself, and eventually fell into the huge gold cave of gambling.
Although he is indeed quite business-talented, but in such a life, his lack of energy, coupled with his arrogance, several business problems occurred, and finally a series of setbacks completely defeated Albert.
His company went bankrupt and became nothing for a while, and in this case, Albert even went to China to see Gu Yingran, saw that she was very good, and lived happily with Mr. Chen.
The last Albert's heart died completely, and then he opened a small homestay in Sri Lanka with the little savings he had left, plus a little property that his mother had left him.
Although he doesn't earn much every year, this place in Sri Lanka is enough for him to live a relaxed life.
Shen Xian was also surprised after listening to his story, but Albert didn't care at all, now he catches the sea every day to fish, chats with tourists from all over the world, and drinks wine.
Because his mother is Chinese and his father is British, he is good at English Chinese, and he is quite good among tourists, and occasionally he can work as a tour guide and translator, and his life is leisurely.
After Shen Xian came here, he lived in his small homestay, and the two children quickly got along with him.
Shen Xian sat on the recliner alone and read a book, the sun shining on her body through the big banana tree, feeling extremely comfortable.
From time to time, the sea breeze blows from afar, and the sultry feeling is swept away, with a salty smell of the sea breeze, and then mixed with the fragrance of flowers wafting from nowhere.
In such an environment, she slowly fell asleep, and she didn't know where to throw the books she was holding.
I don't know how long I slept, and a loud noise appeared.
"Mom, let's see what good things we've brought here."
Xiao Jiu's voice returned to a babbling appearance, and he appeared in front of Shen Xian in a bouncing manner.
"Xiao Jiu, I just fell asleep!"
Shen Xian woke up helplessly and looked at Xiao Jiu who was carrying a small bucket, and smiled dotingly.
"What delicious food did you bring with you?" Love Literature Network
Shen Xian got up with a smile and looked at the contents of the bucket, the two children had a good time playing with Albert during this time, and they also harvested a lot of seafood today, and they also caught two crabs.
"It's so rich, then we're in for a good night."
"I'll take it to the kitchen."
Albert smiled and followed behind and took everything to the kitchen, this small B&B usually only hired two people, a chef and a housekeeper.
Albert is a complete shopkeeper, and his daily job is not only to ensure the food in the restaurant, but also to chat with tourists and enjoy life.
At dinner in the evening, sure enough, all the seafood they had picked up today was served.
After a big meal, the children went out to play with the other children.
Shen Xian and Albert walked out of the B&B with a glass of red wine, walked to the beach, and sat on the reef by the beach.
"Are you really going to live here?"
Albert looked at Shen Xian, a little puzzled, why she had come to live here with her two children for so long.
At first, Shen Xian told him that it was because she had quarreled with Fu Shen, but it had been so long since she and the children were still here, which was a little strange.
Albert used to cooperate with Fu Shen quite smoothly, and the two of them can be regarded as friends, but now seeing Shen Xian like this, he naturally wants to ask a few more questions.
Shen Xian took a sip of wine, looked at the vast sea, and said with a relieved smile on his lips: "I think it's good to stay here, what?" Don't you want me to be with you? I've got to pay you rent. ”
"What does it have to do with this?"
Albert shook his head a little helplessly: "Not to mention that Fu Shen and I can be regarded as friends, let's just talk about the relationship between you and Gu Yingran, it is impossible for me to ask you for room fees, you can stay here for as long as you want, I am just a little worried about you, I have been here for so long, and I haven't seen Fu Shen call you, what is the problem between you?" ”
Shen Xian shook his head: "Can I not say it?" There are some things that are just my business and I don't want too many people to know. ”
"Okay, of course it's no problem if you don't say it."
Albert smiled and said, "But if Fu Shen is looking for you, do I still have to hide it?" ”
Shen Xian was startled and hurriedly asked, "Did he call you to ask about my whereabouts?" No, you haven't been in touch for years. ”
"You're hiding it from him, aren't you? And you don't want to let him know your whereabouts yet. Albert looked at Shen Xian helplessly.
Hearing that Albert was lying to himself, Shen Xian suddenly laughed, and said speechlessly: "You are really... I really can't tell you what happened, it's a private matter between the two of us, but I still want to beg you not to tell anyone my whereabouts, I don't want to see him at all. ”
"Well, for the sake of being friends between us, I can grant you this request."
"Thank you so much."
Shen Xian excitedly picked up his glass and said, "Let's have a drink, thank you for helping me keep it a secret." ”
After a glass of wine, the two of them sat on the beach and looked at the vast sea, and Albert suddenly said, "I think there must be a serious problem between you, otherwise you wouldn't have fled to such a place alone." ”
Shen Xian didn't speak for a while, just looked at the sea in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Albert looked at him and continued: "In the past, I couldn't accept the blow of reality, so I fled here, at that time I was really running away from life, but after living here for a while, my mood slowly calmed down, and I found that the things I had pursued may not be the most precious to me, and the most precious things had already been lost by my accident. ”
Albert's expression became a little lost: "You know what? The biggest achievement in my life is not to become a business upstart that everyone envies, but that I have been with the person I love once, but the thing I regret the most in my life is that I accidentally lost the person I love the most. ”
He suddenly changed his mood, looked at Shen Xian and said, "I don't know what happened between you and Fu Shen during this time?" But what I do know is that the relationship between you has been going on for so many years, and he is not something that will be cut off easily, and it is useless for you to hide here for a long time, and you still need to face him in the end. ”
"Are you going to chase me away?"
Shen Xian looked at him with a smile, but how bitter this smile was, she understood in her own heart.
Shen Xian didn't understand what Albert said, the relationship between her and Fu Shen had been tested by too many ups and downs, but this did not mean that the relationship between them was as strong as a fortress and indestructible.
Under the erosion of a peaceful life, it still fell apart in the end.
