Chapter 45 Choice
In this way, Alan and Susie sat under the tree and talked eloquently, but they couldn't really see each other's faces, as if they were separated by a thin veil of light, which brought them a hazy sense of mystery.
“Susie... Susie...“
A crisp girl's voice came from a distance, and it sounded unusually clear in this quiet castle building.
"Ah, it's my friend who came looking for me."
With that, Susie stood up, arranging her snow-white knee-length lace dress with her hands.
"Alan, then I'll go first."
“Good bye ,Susie.”
“Good bye ,Alan。”
Susie smiled and waved at him, turning to walk out of the green grass and down the flat path.
But she hadn't taken a few steps, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she stood still.
I saw her turn around, clasped her hands in front of her with some nervousness, and with the shyness of a girl, she said:
“Alan... Me, I'm going back to China the day after tomorrow, tomorrow, can we make an appointment to meet tomorrow? ”
Although the light here was dim, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly, the expectation contained in her words was so obvious.
Alan thought for a moment, smiled and said to her:
"Oh sure, Susie, where would you like to meet?"
"Alan, is Versailles okay? Mommy and I have been there, but I love it and I want to see it again before I go home. ”
"Okay, then we'll meet tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock in front of the Palace of Versailles."
He, a foreigner, uses Chinese sentences and idioms, which is quite smooth.
Hearing Alan's "see you or leave", Susie's mood became even more excited, and her voice couldn't help but rise a few points:
"Okay, goodbye, Alan."
Saying goodbye to him again, she finally quickened her pace and walked towards the light not far away.
Alan waved at her, watching her get closer to the blazing lights, and then, seeing her walk up with another girl.
"Susie, what are you doing there? It's so dark there. ”
In the distance, the girl's puzzled voice was heard.
Susie turned back to look at the darkness where he was, she raised her hand high and waved it vigorously, and then she heard her unique voice with sweetness and tenderness:
"Oh, I've got a new friend."
"Susie, if you're with me, you're sure you'll make more friends."
"Heh, there will always be a chance to meet those who should be acquainted, let's go back."
The conversation between the girls floated into Alan's ears without a word.
Yes, there will always be a chance to know those who should be known, this is what the Chinese call fate.
Alan smiled and put his hands in his trouser pockets as he looked up at the starry sky, and after a while, he slowly stepped out of the darkness under the tree.
Pulling out his phone, he called his friend, then walked straight to the luxurious gate, got into the car that had been waiting for him there, and sped away in the direction of his home.
When he got home, he took a comfortable bath and leaned against the head of the bed in a loose dressing gown, following the good habits he had always adhered to.
After reading the book for a while, he lay down and reached out to turn off the lamp on the bedside.
After a good night's sleep and no dreams, he opened his eyes and glanced at the quartz clock hanging on the wall, it was still early, he closed his eyes and lay quietly for a while, before lifting the soft quilt and going to the bathroom.
Dressed neatly, he had breakfast with his mother, got into the car that had been waiting at the door for a long time, and prepared to leave for Versailles. The car had just started, and a charming figure blocked his car.
Seeing this figure, Alan reluctantly glanced at Sam, the driver in the rearview mirror, and then reluctantly pressed the window, stretched out his hand and waved at her, asking her to come over.
When the delicate little face approached the car window, Alan maintained an elegant gentlemanly demeanor, slightly hooking the corners of his lips:
“Good morning,Andrea.”
“Good morning,Alan.”
Andrea smiled at him with a sunny face, and her pretty eyes were about to narrow into a charming slit, but Alan ignored it.
"Alan, where are you going?"
"I made an appointment with a friend to go out."
In the rearview mirror, the driver, Sam, winked at him with deeply wrinkled eyes, the corners of his mouth turned exaggeratedly down, and his forehead shrugged up, making a grimace at him.
Miss Andrea is definitely going.
"I'll go too."
Before she could finish speaking, she put away her beautiful parasol and opened the car door to sit in, Alan could only move helplessly to the side again.
"We're going to Versailles, are you going too?"
Versailles, for those who live in Paris, France, is as familiar as their own back garden.
"No matter what, if you go, I'll go."
Well, the princess has spoken, let's drive.
Without any instructions from Alan, Sam had already slid the car out smoothly.
"Alan, who is your friend? Do I know each other? ”
"I don't know."
"Male or female?"
The word "female", she especially accentuated her tone a little.
Alan shrugged, ignoring her as she followed.
In the distance, among the people who came and went, he saw the petite figure standing at the gate of the palace waiting for him.
He quickened his pace and walked towards the figure.
"Alan, wait for me, don't go so fast."
“Susie。”
Taking a few big strides, he approached her, and Alan greeted her with a smile.
This is an affirmative sentence, without the slightest doubt. Because he was very sure that the Chinese girl in front of him was the girl from last night.
“Alan。”
Obviously, she was also sure that the person in front of her was the one who looked at the stars together last night.
The joy in her words showed the joy and excitement in her heart.
"Alan, who is this?"
Andrea's nice voice interjected,
Following the voice, Susie saw a girl wearing a noble white lace parasol step out from behind Alan.
A charming and touching live-action doll.
Susie's eyes lit up with surprise at first, then a little imperceptible disappointment, and finally, she politely introduced herself:
“Hello,I am Susie.”
"Hello Susie, I'm Andrea, Alan's fiancée."
Is this an oath of ownership to her?
Alan looked at Andrea, her beautiful blue eyes with some warning, and Andrea winked at him disapprovingly.
Susie's eyes darkened noticeably, but she smiled and said:
"Hello, you speak Chinese so well."
Andrea's chin was lifted with pride and pride:
"That's what Alan taught me, he likes China, so I like China too."
"Susie, where are we going first? Go to the Musical Fountain? It's open now. ”
Andrea's little hand wrapped around Alan's sturdy forearm and smiled at Susie, a smile she understood:
Alan is mine.
"yes, okay."
For the rest of the trip, they arranged it like this: first to the Musical Fountain, then to the garden, and finally to the palace.
The splendor and beauty and luxury in front of her were no longer so attractive in Susie's eyes.
This trip to Versailles, she was not very happy. The pair of conjoined babies in front of her made her feel like a redundant third party, and I believe that no matter who saw her, her mood was not much better.
She looked at him walking in front, and the sadness in her eyes was clear.
She knew that her heart was moved, but she also knew that she was destined to get no response from him.
Susie's unhappiness, Alan felt it. But he can't help it, because Andrea's position is a bit complicated now, and she is indeed his fiancée, although he has no feelings for her, there is nothing he can do.
When they came out, it was close to 12 noon.
"Alan, let's go back, I'm so tired and hungry."
Andrea said aggrievedly with a pout.
It's just so boring.
Your own back garden, no matter how luxurious and brilliant it is, over time, I believe you will become blind.
Susie tugged at the corner of her lower lip:
"Alan, Andrea, go back, I'll have friends coming to me for dinner later."
“Good bye,Susie。”
Andrea smiled brightly at her and took Alan's arm and walked in the direction Sam had parked.
Alan turned his head and waved at Susie, and although he thought that he should leave a phone number for Susie, he finally chose to give up when he saw Andrea next to him.
Forget it, it's just a friend, if there is fate, they will always meet again.
He didn't know how much he would miss and regret if he gave up at this moment.
