Chapter 578, The Big Family
(4 chapters will break out tomorrow, ask for a monthly pass.) )
Stonehaven isn't a big town, and there aren't really many places to visit. In fact, Scotland's port city is somewhat akin to the Low Countries of the Netherlands, where visitors want to see not spectacular scenery, but foreign customs. The old alleys, the idle vendors, the leisurely time, the sunny weather, and of course, if you are surrounded by someone you love, or someone who has a loving heart, this feeling of walking freely is great.
Xiao Yan and Tristina have come across the old alleys, have a leisurely time, and the weather around them is also very sunny, the only problem is that they can't meet the idle vendors. In addition to a few permanent cafes and shops, the Stonehaven vendors, who used to have their own shops selling various specialties, have already gone to the venue of the Highland Games. Not necessarily for better sales, but because the Highland Games themselves are the biggest festival for Scots, and if you don't even participate in the festival, you are not really a Scottish person.
Because of this, the streets of Stonehaven were still a little deserted until noon, most of the small shops that should have been open long ago were closed, and most of the people who passed by Xiao Yan and the others were not local Scots, but tourists from out of town. Among these tourists, Xiao Yan did not see the Chinese, maybe it was not the right time, of course, the other East Asians did not see much, and I happened to see a few East Asian faces, who still spoke fluent English.
There are no local residents, and most of the streets are tourists, which makes the combination of Xiao Yan and Tristina less abrupt. Therefore, there has been no cross-examination. As for the poor young mounted policeman from before. I don't know where it went. Perhaps the tall horse was heading towards Aberdeen at this time. Who knows, the lethality of the stench is so great that even the saint who owns the realm can't resist it, let alone a horse.
Since most of the shops are not open, any attempt to buy some souvenirs or something like at Stonehaven has been frustrated. The Scottish harbour city still retains a large number of Victorian buildings, which makes the city look quaint and a sign that there is no such big shopping mall in the city as Paris. Many souvenirs are only available at a certain shop, and now the shop is closed. Xiao Yan and Tristina can only eat all the way behind closed doors.
However, neither of them cared about this, Xiao Yan just wanted to cherish the leisure time before the European Management Committee set foot here, while Tristina only wanted the two of them to walk around without any purpose and without any scheming. Having spent so much time in that gloomy castle that the designer felt as if her mood had become moldy, and walking in such a place and in such a sunny place at such a time was enough to make Tristina feel comfortable.
"We can go to the Highland Games, what do you think?"
Tristina offers at lunch.
A standard Scottish lunch at Stonehaven starts with salmon, and of course Scotch whisky is a must. After a hearty lunch, finish with beef pudding. There is indeed an indescribable sense of satisfaction and lightness.
In response to Tristina's proposal, Xiao Yan shrugged that for now, his actions in Scotland were not constrained. A visit to the Highland Games would not have been a big problem, but at the latest, Lilia from the European Management Committee would arrive this afternoon at the latest, and once the European Management Committee took over the affairs of the castle, Xiao Yan might not be able to stay here.
"It depends," Xiao Yan replied, "I hope to be able to stay a little longer, and of course, if I want to leave, I must take you away." ”
He looked at the Scottish woman with a crimson face in front of him, and said firmly: "I have thought very clearly, even if I can't give you simple love, but I will take you away from that castle, so that you are not lonely and afraid." Don't think about resisting me, listen, I'm going to lift you onto the plane even if I use a crane, you, you have to go with me, no discussion. ”
Tristina was obviously unprepared for Xiao Yan's sudden and domineering decision, and after a while, she resisted weakly and said, "So, what about the castle?" If I'm gone, the castle will be taken away. ”
"I'll take care of these things, Tristina, listen, there's nothing on this shijie that I can't solve."
Xiao Yan's words sounded no different from bragging, but the female designer's eyes had begun to blur, no matter whether what Xiao Yan said was true or not, she felt that the ice in her heart seemed to be slowly melting. Somewhat involuntarily, the woman grabbed the young trialist's hand and whispered, "Oh, don't spend too much money, if I can have a future, I can also give up the past." ”
Xiao Yan smiled, and then said arrogantly: "I don't have a lot of money, but money is just a symbol for me." ”
If Xiao Yan's parents heard this sentence, they would definitely be able to beat him out, and the loser didn't know that he was distressed about money, so he dared to say such a big thing, do you really not know how high the sky is and how thick it is?
Tristina raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Oh, of course, money is a symbol for you, because you don't even have the money to pay the bill now." ”
Speaking of this, the female designer couldn't help but laugh at her cold humor, she looked at Xiao Yan and whispered, "What should I do?" After this meal, our preparation will be affected, and in any case, money is still important. ”
Xiao Yan raised his right hand and snapped his fingers rudely in this elegant restaurant, something he wanted to do so badly but had never done it all along. The scene in the movie has an inexplicable temptation for Xiao Yan, even if the occasion of this restaurant is not suitable for such rude actions, but how to say, as long as it does not interfere with the normal operation of the world, other rules are not absolutely binding on the trialist. Like snapping your fingers in a restaurant, or rather, having a few more partners......
Xiao Yan looked at Tristina, a little cranky in his mind, I have to say that the idea of holding Sylvia with one hand and Tristina with the other is very tempting. Of course, whether this scene can be successful, or whether Xiao Yan was cut in half by two jealous women, that kind of tragic ending will not be considered by Xiao Yan now.
This imagination soon stopped, and a middle-aged waiter respectfully walked up to Xiao Yan's side, bowed slightly, and asked, "Sir, what do you need?" ”
"Checkout."
The female designer looked at Xiao Yan, her eyes were full of smiles, she wanted to see how the teenager in front of her settled this meal of hundreds of euros in an empty situation. Would he say that he would use the dishes to settle the bill? Tristina looked down at her clothes, fortunately, they weren't so luxurious, and it wasn't unacceptable to brush the dishes with him.
However, the smile in Tristina's eyes quickly turned into surprise, and the middle-aged waiter quickly walked back, bowed slightly to Xiao Yan again, and said, "Haode, sir, this lunch has been settled, I hope you have a good meal." ”
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Tristina, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "You see, money is like this for me. ”
"How did you do that? Do you have hypnosis? No, no, no, it's not hypnotism, so how do you do it? Tell me that if I have this ability, the castle will be mine forever. ”
Xiao Yan pointed to the top of his head and said, "That's a big family, and generally speaking, the reaction time of a big family is very fast. ”
Tristina's eyes were full of disbelief, but this disbelief was only the beginning, as Xiao Yan walked out of the restaurant, it was already close to the downtown of Stonehaven, which was much more prosperous and densely populated than the docklands. Although the modern shops are not lined up, there are quite a few of them. The two of them entered a communication store, and the receptionist nodded slightly to the two, and then asked, "How can I help you?" ”
"A phone, the price doesn't matter, xiexie."
Xiao Yan said bluntly, the female receptionist frowned slightly, glanced at the computer screen, and the corners of her eyes jumped slightly. Then, the good-looking woman raised her head, looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "May I ask your name?" ”
"Parin."
"Yes, your call is ready and in the process of being delivered. You can wait here a little longer and maybe have some coffee? ”
The female designer looked at Xiao Yan, although she really wanted to see what was on the computer screen, but at this time, what surprised her even more was the teenager next to her, and the big family behind the teenager.
"Your family is really huge."
The surprise on Tristina's face faded after seeing Xiao Yan get the phone, and she whispered, "This scares me, you know, I may not be able to adapt to surviving in such a large family." They might, uh, ostracize me, alienate me, because you see, I'm just a civilian. I could have hurt more as a result. ”
"So?"
"So I probably can't leave with you, really, Parin, thank you for coming to me at this time, but I ......"
"But you're about to have nothing, and in that case, why don't you just let go? Living in a fresh environment hurts, of course, but maybe more to get out of it, isn't it? ”
Xiao Yan opened the mobile phone box, glanced at the phone that could already communicate, and said nonchalantly: "Compared with those fixed pasts, what you need more is a future full of infinite possibilities." Dwelling on the past will only make you more and more lonely and withdrawn, and now, pulling you out of this abyss is what I should do. (To be continued......)
