Chapter 023 A foreign land
It's as if she lives to drive consumption. Xue Lan's daily task is to consume. The way to shop that makes women envious is not to look at the price, and even Xue Lan always tells the assistant, so be it, I'm too tired today. Yes, Xue Lan is tired of spending money.
"Yes, I remember. Xiaolan, you have a good rest. Something is looking for me, and if you have the chance, I'll take you to fly a kite. Li Ling just asked knowingly, how could he not know who Xue Lan was, the daughter of this rich businessman. His pretending to be calm will probably make Xue Lan look at him with admiration. Li Ling just likes to do this, so that others can feel that he is different.
Xue Lan smiled and acquiesced to Li Ling's invitation. Because I was never invited to fly a kite in the past. The childhood time is always full of piano etiquette and various compulsory courses for everyone. Even various entertainment projects, golf and horseback riding are compulsory courses for him, and obviously a recreation makes Xue Lan feel bored.
's father's cultivation is probably to allow Xue Lan to marry a rich second generation who will help his career in the future. This all-round cultivation of Xue Lan made Xue Lan feel that she was a high-level courtesan who was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Then I'll go first. You rest first. Li Ling didn't find any reason to stay in Xue Lan's room. This is the most basic courtesy of a gentleman.
However, just such a small look, even a simple word, can make Xue Lan's heart sprout countless warmth.
In Xue Lan's view, Li Ling is like his bosom friend, the kind of life that has long been tired of, the heart that has long been tired, seems to have sprouted new sprouts again. All these changes, in Xue Lan's view, are all because of Li Ling's appearance.
And when he came back from Xue Lan, Li Ling also felt very tired, took a warm bath, and was ready to go to bed, at this time, Li Ling realized that he had ignored Lin Xiaoxiao's existence.
Li Ling, who had turned off the phone all night, returned to the hotel and turned on his mobile phone, and received countless text messages from Lin Xiaoxiao. Most of them told themselves where they were doing something, and kept asking Li Ling why he didn't open the phone if something was wrong. Li Ling simply replied with a sentence and held a meeting all night. I'm sleepy now, and I'll talk about something when I wake up.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who also stayed awake all night, finally received a text message from Li Ling, dragged his whole body tired, and hurriedly washed up and went to work. Lin Xiaoxiao could clearly feel that Li Ling had changed, and perhaps he was no longer the Li Ling he knew before.
In the past, the two of them would always stick together, but now, even wanting to see Li Ling seemed so extravagant. Maybe it's because after a long time, Li Ling is tired of himself, Lin Xiaoxiao thinks so.
A strong sense of loss lingered in Lin Xiaoxiao's heart. She was afraid of losing Li Ling. The sweetness of the first love lingered in his mind from time to time, but it couldn't bring Lin Xiaoxiao a trace of warmth.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who has been working in Tianhong Company, has also improved her career, and the company sent her to Singapore for training. Li Ling is naturally familiar with Singapore. But Lin Xiaoxiao is still going for the first time, and Lin Xiaoxiao still fantasizes that the two of them can travel here at public expense. I did my homework online, looked up the strategy, and booked the hotel. It seems that his free time, what to eat, where to go, and how long it will take are all written in his notepad.
In his mind, he even imagined that he and Li Ling could sit with him in the Ferris wheel in Singapore, which is by far the largest giant observation wheel in the world, and visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire Marina Bay area at a height of 165 meters above the ground, overlooking the bustling city and the vast sky of Singapore. Such a romantic thing is what Lin Xiaoxiao has always fantasized.
Many people describe Singapore's weather as "summer all year round, and autumn when it rains". Lin Xiaoxiao was not sloppy about the company's training and learning. I'm afraid that because of the weather, I don't have generation gap clothes. Or get sick and catch a cold.
Even cold medicine was packed in the suitcase. Thinking that it might rain, Lin Xiaoxiao redid all the travel strategies, and now no matter what time it rains 24 hours a day, Lin Xiaoxiao has a backup of places to go, which shows that Lin Xiaoxiao took great pains to make this trip.
Singapore is a multilingual country. Lin Xiaoxiao has really reached the limit, and he can't control the daily language of English, Malay, and Tamil. I'm afraid I'm in a strange environment and I'm not in the situation.
It can be felt that Lin Xiaoxiao's approach is a complete manifestation of insecurity. And this insecure approach is a sad thing for a woman who has been in love for many years. Prove that the man did not give him good protection.
Lin Xiaoxiao has completely ignored Li Ling's study in Singapore for many years, not to mention that Singapore is a city-state, Li Ling, who has never been idle, is afraid that he has experienced all the romance in this country.
All the strategies she did were just talk on paper for Li Ling, and Li Ling could give Lin Xiaoxiao a wasteful and affordable trip. Romance is what every girl dreams of, and parity is Lin Xiaoxiao's highest requirement for everything.
A hurried knock on the door woke up the sleeping Li Ling. It was none other than Li Ling's immediate boss, Chen Ze, who knocked on the door.
"Where did I go last night, I looked for you all night. Those customers are really difficult, I have to sing after drinking, and then I have to take a shower and play mahjong, so that I can't lose, and I can't win. Chen Ze began to complain as soon as he entered the house.
Chen Ze naturally knows the whereabouts of Li Ling last night, and he can be with Xue Lan who didn't return all night, and the two people who are lonely and widowed, according to a normal adult perspective, will think extremely dirty, but raw rice has become a matter of cooked rice, which makes Li Ling more capable in Chen Ze's eyes. This kid can soak in Xue Lan, and he will naturally be alive in the future. It's better to stutter early now.
"I'm sorry, I had a little personal matter yesterday, and I didn't say hello to you because I was in a hurry, it's really ......"! Li Ling explained. Touch the back of your head with one hand. I'm sorry.
This reason is to fool 6 or 7-year-old children, how could Li Ling, who came to Macao for the first time, have a private matter in Macau, not to mention that he didn't return overnight and didn't even say hello. Instead of the previous Chen Ze, he had already deducted the subsidy for this business trip, and then he would tell Li Ling that he had resisted the matter.
Let Li Ling remember his own favor, such a dumb loss, Li Ling has to eat almost every month. is used to such a boss, so he is naturally speechless. But when Li Ling thought of getting along with Xue Lan this night, it was naturally worth it.
"It's okay, it's just the two of us on this business trip, but fortunately, yesterday's customer was still good at talking, having entertainment, and having a good time. Not so much to say. Things are going well, maybe I have to stay in Macau for a few days, it doesn't matter, what you should do, I can still solve it myself. ”
Chen Ze's words made Li Ling a little surprised, in Li Ling's heart, Chen Ze should be like a squad leader reprimanding a recruit, saying that he had no organization and no record, and couldn't help but deduct his business trip allowance. There may also be demotion.
Finally, I said good things for you in front of the leader, and this demotion will be forgotten. The travel allowance is gone. However, Chen Ze's attitude made Li Ling not know how to deal with it. Keep repeating that you have done your personal affairs, and you will not delay your work.
"It's okay, young man, it's okay to spend more time with friends, I didn't sleep last night. You rest first, and I won't bother you. Chen Ze's face was as obscene as if he had spied on Li Ling and Xue Lan last night.
After Chen Ze left, Li Ling glanced at Chen Ze fiercely, and there was a secret resentment in his heart. Isn't it just one level higher than yourself, what is there to be good in the company? Li Ling was very unconvinced, thinking that sooner or later he would trample Chen Ze under his feet!
Li Ling suddenly understood why the leader's tone of speech was so reversed today. Probably last night's affair between himself and Xue Lan had already been taken into account, and he obeyed the leader's "adult beauty" without scruples. Li Ling, who sent away the leader, had no intention of sleeping.
"Jingle bell ......!" When the doorbell rings, it must not be Chen Ze, this kid won't be so gentle, not to mention that he has nothing to say when he just leaves. Li Ling thought secretly. Li Ling saw Xue Lan in a short skirt from the door mirror.
hurriedly looked back at the surroundings of the room and saw that it was quite tidy, and when he opened the door, Xue Lan was a little embarrassed to see Li Ling.
Girls should be a little more reserved, and Xue Lan, who returned to the room, was full of big boys who invited her to fly kites. couldn't suppress his feelings, and finally took the initiative to come to Li Ling.
Xue Lan, who was wearing a short skirt, looked like a female classmate in college, so Li Ling couldn't resist the temptation of this uniform.
"I was about to look for you, but I was afraid that you didn't wake up, so I was hesitating, what a coincidence that you came." Li Ling made Xue Lan not so embarrassed. But he still didn't know how to express that he was willing to fly a kite with Li Ling, but he smiled silently.
Seeing that Xue Lan didn't speak, Li Ling knew that Xue Lan was shy, "You look very much like one of my high school classmates today, but she is not as beautiful as you." ”
"Is she your tablemate or your first love?" Xue Lan did come to Li Ling after dressing up herself, and last night's bicycle and snacks made Xue Lan seem to go back to when she was in high school, secretly dating her children every day.
In the only time, the two of them even felt that it would be nice to have only the two of them in the world.
But this beautiful feeling has long been away from Xue Lan for too long, probably Xue Lan's mind has long blurred his appearance, and this long-lost feeling still evokes Xue Lan's memories.
Yes, that boy is Xue Lan's tablemate and Xue Lan's first love.
