In the evening, I discussed with Andre to let him bake the cake again, and it happened that Matsu Kazuka also returned. Hearing our conversation, Xiang said that she had learned how to bake cakes, and this time let us try her craft as well.

Xiang does have a talent for cooking, and her cakes are not inferior to Andrei's.

The four of us were in the kitchen eating delicious cakes and chatting happily.

Song said that it was good that Andre was back, that the dormitory hadn't been so lively for a while, and that he didn't want to stay here when the kitchen was deserted every day.

I asked him how his business was?

Matsu said that the sales volume was not comparable to when business was good in the big market, and even so, Lyubolino's rent still went up. Now that the cost of doing business in Moscow is getting higher and higher, and the ruble is still depreciating, it is too difficult to do business in Russia.

Song said to Andrei: You are all capable people, you can work in a large company to earn money, and we can only do some small business to support our families.

I said that our company has been laying off employees, and even our general manager is not optimistic about the company's prospects, which is why I resigned. It's not easy for anyone to make some money in Moscow these days!

Song said that it is better to Andrey! Such a stable job is too enviable.

I used to think that Andrei was very unimpressed with the social environment in Russia. Especially after the closure of their firm's Eastern European department, I think he seems to have despaired of Russia.

Today, however, he and Matsu have been discussing the business environment, opportunities and difficulties here...... As if he was going to do something in Moscow. I was somewhat surprised by the interest shown by Andrei in working in Moscow.

At night, lying in the crook of Andrei's strong arm, I stroked Andrei's porcelain arm muscles and said:

- "It seems that the three-week military training is quite effective!" I've been worried that you've been flying around for most of the year, and you've even lost time for exercising...... I wonder if you need to go to Buryatia to soak in the hot springs or something, Yuri took us to experience the hot springs there, I feel really good! I said.

- "Oh? What's good? Andrei asked, looking down at me.

- "Hmm! It was winter at the time, and although I had only soaked for one day, I felt that the effect was quite obvious: it was as if the cold that had been building up in my body for a long time disappeared all at once, and I felt that I was as light as a swallow and my mind was clear...... Well! Also, I feel that my skin has become very smooth...... Alas! If Sergey hadn't been in a hurry to return to the company, I would have liked to stay there for a few more days. Remember, my dear, that we made an appointment to see Lake Baikal? I wish I could have stayed there with you for a while, Andrey, it's so romantic that you forget everything......" I said.

- "I promise you, my dear, that I think maybe we'll have a chance to go there soon!" Andrei said

- "That's great! Andrey, I promise you won't be disappointed," I said happily.

- "You said that Sergei didn't care about soaking in the hot springs there because of the things in the company, right?" It must have been hard for him to run such a company. Has he become accustomed to working without vacations? Isn't he usually very entertaining? Andrei asked with some sympathy

- "I didn't find out what entertainment Sergei likes!" He also seems to be a little repulsed by Roman's social evenings or something. I really don't know what specific hobbies he has? I think what he's most passionate about is food. Wrong! He's still more passionate about making money! Is earning money the greatest enjoyment for him?

Ha ha...... Since he's having fun, what's the time off? But no one forced him to fight so hard, and he was willing to die of exhaustion...... You say, is Li Bailing's boyfriend also his kind of person? Anyway, Li Bailing couldn't persuade him before!

Oh, yes! Andrey, don't follow them! Health comes first, look at Li Bailing's boyfriend, what's the use of making so much money! I said.

Hearing my words, Andrei leaned down and stared into my eyes and said:

- "Linna, I've been thinking about the question, what is more important to me? ”

- "Do you understand?" I asked

- "I think the most important thing is that we are together," Andre said

- "Like now?" I looked at Andrei's serious eyes and asked with a smile

- "Yes, as now, shall we not be apart again?" Andrei said.

I was so confused by Andrei's sudden words that I couldn't figure out what he meant by no longer parting.

- "How about me staying in Moscow?" Andrei asked suddenly.

"Stay in Moscow" - I think Andrei is dreaming. So what about his career in the firm? What nerves did he have?

- "That's good! Isn't Sergey, my dear, preparing his own company? I think he might need someone like you. You're smarter than I am, you're capable, you're multilingual, you have a PhD, maybe he's paying you more than you're paying me? Ha ha...... Do you want me to ask him tomorrow? ”

My joke did not make Andrei laugh, he looked at me and said with a serious expression:

- "Linna, I mean really! Or you go to the USA with me! ”

- "What? Andrei's words made me scratch my head more and more.

- "Linna, is there really no way I can keep you by my side? Andre's eyes were very stubborn.

- "Tell me, my dear, what's going on with the United States? I asked
