Chapter 563: Black Swan (1)
What is a black swan event?
"Black swan" refers to those events that occur unexpectedly with a small probability of high risk, but once they occur, the impact is enough to upend any previous experience, and it is unpredictable.
Some of the things that happened afterwards gave me a very intuitive and perceptual understanding of the "black swan" event.
Spring in the north came late, but at a galloping pace. In less than a week, the snow on the ground had melted, and the warm spring breeze and warm sun were urging the plants and trees to change their clothes almost every day.
A few apple trees in the courtyard of our community were still budding yesterday, but today they are more than half blooming.
I didn't make it to the apple blossom season last year, so I was disappointed by the beautiful spring in the garden.
Standing in front of the apple tree, I gazed at the enchanting spring color for a long time.
I remember seeing apple trees bloom at my grandmother's house, but I was so young that I really didn't have any aesthetic ability, so I could understand that it was a white flower.
There are apple orchards on campus in Moscow, but I haven't been there once to see apple blossoms. So, my impression of apple blossom began to blur for a long time.
At the moment, these apple trees attracted me deeply.
The blossoms of the trees make me feel the warm greetings of spring.
I remembered the dream that Andrei had told me on the phone...... What flowers does Andrey like? He didn't say that, and I didn't ask.
I don't know if Andrei deliberately concealed it or didn't think it was worth mentioning.
Did Andre and I really know each other as well as I thought we were? Are we missing something?
This question made me feel a sudden melancholy.
I stood in front of the apple tree, and the rest of the scenery around me gradually began to fade except for the shadow of the swaying flowers on the branches
The breeze was blowing, sending a faint fragrance, and I saw the white and delicate petals of the apple blossom swaying in the wind like the wings of a white butterfly, nodding to me like a living being. The flowers made of pink and jade are white and flawless, pure and beautiful.
The apple blossom is simple, like the smile of a newborn child, dusty, happy, innocent and delicious, intoxicating.
The appearance of the water spirit really makes me hate to go up and kiss Fangze.
The apple blossom is rustic, without the ambition to compete for the show, nor the reserved and luxurious that artificiality. They are united, friendly, and live in harmony, complementing and supporting each other.
Apple blossom is free, blooming, generous, natural, youthful, enthusiastic and unrestrained, not worldly, proudly independent.
Here, every leaf exudes tenacious vitality. The emerald green leaves bring out the whiteness of the flowers, and this whiteness also makes the leaves brighter and more intense.
Smelling the delicate fragrance of flowers, I suddenly understood why Andrei had a soft spot for apple blossoms: the bright green and pure white in front of me have a unique charm, they are the messengers of beauty, the elves of spring, and the symbol of the earth of spring.
I took my phone and wandered among the charming flowers and trees, hoping to keep the beautiful encounter with the apple blossom and leave an intoxicating memory.
Back in my room, I spent most of the day finally producing a video that I was happy with, accompanied by carefully selected music, and finally wrote a message to Andrei, intending to give him a surprise welcome gift.
We haven't been in touch for almost half a year since the last video a year ago, and while I was worried that I would disturb him by doing so, I also hoped that Andre would be surprised and moved when he saw this video.
I stared at Andrei's profile picture on Facebook in a daze, sighed, and said to myself, don't expect Andrei to see this video soon, now, I don't know how long he will be back online, let alone where in the world Andre will be now.
Who can understand what Andrei is doing at the moment? Maybe it's just his assistant, right?
I remembered that André had told me that he needed to hire an assistant again, and that his new, sturdy Dutchman had said that he would resign, even if he had a raise, and that he would not agree to stay.
Hey...... It seems that Andrei should really learn from Sergei in this area of finding an assistant, as the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, but Andrei's approach is to sweep the sand in a big wave.
Who knows, maybe Andrei was not as good as Sergei, did not meet Anton, and Zhenia treated the assistant like this, and he was also forced to do so.
I was thinking wildly, and suddenly found that Andrei seemed to be online, staring at Andrei's avatar, my heart beat faster with excitement, but time passed minute by minute, and Andrei didn't have any answer to me.
Is he busy connecting with something important? I guess.
For more than half an hour, Andre was always online, but there was no response. I looked at the computer and didn't dare to leave, I thought that André would contact me when he was done, however, to my surprise, he went offline silently again.
Andre's approach made me particularly disappointed, I collapsed weakly in my chair, I felt like a stone in my chest, it became difficult for me to breathe, I took two deep breaths, trying to get myself out of this depression, but it was useless, this depression became heavier and heavier, so that I almost suffocated.
I jerked up my phone and dialed Andrei's.
The phone went through, but no one answered.
I listened to the ringing on the other end of the phone, and slowly my heart calmed down.
I hung up and said to myself, Linna, don't be so ignorant!
Andre's abnormal behavior may be precisely because he does have very important things, and he really doesn't care about me, if Andre sees my video and feels that he didn't reply to me on time, he is also in a hurry?
I was going to surprise Andrei, but don't let me scare you.
Thinking of this, I feel that the resentment in my heart is gone, but I feel a little self-blame. I left a message for Andre and told him to take care of himself and not to contact me in a hurry.
Closing the computer and looking at the watch, it was almost dinner time, and I went to the kitchen to see what Xiaoshi was doing.
- "It's so rich! I looked at the table of dishes prepared by Xiao Shi and said happily.
- "Hungry, huh?" Sister Lin. Xiao Shi asked me as he cleaned up the board.
- "It's a little bit, how do you cook so many dishes, is it a weekend to entertain everyone?" ”
- "Boss Zhang, I'm here to eat with Sichuan Liu again!" Xiao Shi said in a low voice.
- "Hehe......" I smiled sympathetically at Xiao Shi and asked, "I'll do something for you!" ”
- "It's almost the same, Sister Lin, then work hard for you, help me put the tableware on the table." ”
