308 84 Charing Cross Street
I just think that the two small buns on my cheeks are too cute and want to pinch them.
Wide-eyed cuter and want to ...... Kiss.
The person who was stared at finally managed his expression.
Xiao Li has no duplicity, it seems that he really doesn't want it, but he can't stop Lu Sinian from being more persistent in his bones.
You can't be soft-hearted in saying anything.
In the next second, Lu Si threw a bombshell flutteringly.
"Grandpa said that if this 10% can't be transferred to you, I won't be allowed to touch any of Lu's business in the future."
Retreat.
Su Xiaoli was dumbfounded: ??!!
So it's not two men messing around, it's three men, plus an old man Lu?!
Lu Sinian expressed regret in a matter-of-fact manner: "If I can't continue to do it in Lu's, then all the burden can only be pressed on you, 100% ......"
That sounds like a ...... Threat???
It's just that the tone is not oppressive, and it is so flat that it doesn't seem to be words.
Su Xiaoli instinctively trembled, a big shiver.
I felt cold and was stabbed hard.
Lu Sinian glanced at her without a trace, and expressed deep sympathy: "Global business...... 72 hours a day is not enough ......"
Mourning.
for a "tired to death" Su Xiaoli...... It's not that it can't be done for you.
Su Xiaoli instantly saw black and white impermanence beckoning to him.
Without saying a word, I signed it with a snap!
Lu Sinian changed the topic in a second: "You should have a good rest during the holidays, and I will take you out shopping." ”
It's like a trivial matter like transferring 10% of Lu's shares, which should be forgotten in an instant.
Of course, Su Xiaoli was still angry: "I don't want to go shopping!" ”
Lu Sinian: "No, you want to. ”
Su Xiaoli: ?!
Lu Sinian smiled and took out a map, on which several places had already been marked, and the first stop was Charing Cross Street.
Su Xiaoli died down in an instant, and obediently began to put on his coat.
All the protests turned into great anticipation.
A smile crossed Lu Sinian's lips.
The little girl looked strong, but in fact, she was a child who gave a piece of candy and obediently sat down to eat candy.
Charing Cross Street, located in the West End of London, has gradually become a hub for theatrical performances since the 17th century, along with Broadway, and is one of the two major theatrical centers in the world.
Drama and literature are not separated, and Charing Cross Street, with its unique geographical advantages, has developed dozens of theme bookstores and professional bookstores in the past few hundred years.
It has also become a well-known second-hand bookstore gathering area.
On the banks of the Seine River in Pali, Jimbocho in Shangjing, and Liulichang in Beijing, it is also known as the holy place of the world's four major collectors of old books.
One of them is a second-hand bookstore: 84 Charing Cross Street, the Marks & Company bookstore, which is famous all over the world.
It is possible to owe this fame to a memoir, 84 Charing Cross Street.
It records a 20-year correspondence between the American writer Helen and the British proprietor Frank.
In the past 20 years, they have been separated by thousands of miles.
Since then, "Charing Cross Street" has become the code name of Rendon Used Bookstore.
"84 Charing Cross Street" has become a code among book lovers.
It's just that the bookstore has closed down after the death of the proprietor Frank, but it doesn't prevent it from being a "holy place" in Su Xiaoli's heart.
The heart yearns for it.
When he was on Hong Kong Island, Lu Sinian knew that Su Xiaoli liked second-hand bookstores, and even bought the one on Hong Kong Island and gave it to her directly.
Now that she has come to the "Holy Land", Lu Sinian, who has already done her homework, will inevitably take her to play a card.
Rendon is a house-numbered pilgrimage site, with 221B Baker Street from Sherlock and 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's residence...... Wait a minute.
Compared with those, Lu Sinian judged that Su Xiaoli would prefer Charing Cross Street, so he chose this place as his first stop.
In the early morning, the fog had cleared, and the light sun was shining.
Lu Sinian didn't drive that Aston Martin, he just wanted to enjoy the comfort and warmth of walking slowly with Su Xiaoli.
After all, there is plenty of time, and he has just eaten, and Su Xiaoli is not walking fast.
It took more than an hour for the two to walk to Charing Cross Street.
Pacing slowly, I found No. 84, which had become a café, and the two did not enter.
Although the old place is there, the Si people have passed away.
I don't know if Su Xiaoli thought of his end, and he was a little stunned for a while.
She stroked the exterior wall of Number 84 and kissed it gently, leaving a faint kiss mark.
“If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Road, kiss it for me。 I owe it so much。
(If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross, please give me a kiss, for I owe it much.) )”
Lu Si said in a young voice.
This sentence is written at the end of the book.
Su Xiaoli turned her head and smiled faintly at him.
The two continued to walk, and Lu Sinian wanted to speak several times.
It is probably the cold and humid climate of England that has affected the mood, or it may be that Ling Yicheng's entry has brought a sense of crisis.
Maybe it's just that Su Xiaoli's light kiss just now touched him.
Just now, he wanted to raise his hand to touch her little face several times, but he endured it.
Suddenly, I don't want to be like before, ignore it, and be able to deceive myself to get by.
But what question he wanted to ask, even Lu Sinian himself didn't know.
And the results that come out of the question are not necessarily better than they are now.
Tell her what you treasure, ask her, and let her listen to a big joke?
And then rejected, or even humiliated, in short, degraded to worthless?
Lu Sinian's temples jumped suddenly.
Whoever he loves, he doesn't want to quit anymore.
I want to "die" happily.
Su Xiaoli seemed to be aware of Lu Sinian's mood fluctuations.
She lifted her little face and looked sideways at him, her gaze clear.
Like the time when he "made a tree hole" on the night road on Hong Kong Island, Su Xiaoli was quietly waiting for him to speak first.
Lu Sinian also looked at her quietly for a while.
It's really damn, these eyes are the most terrible.
He sighed inaudibly, and after a long time, he smiled again and spoke slowly, in a soft voice.
"What do you think the two of them have to do with each other?"
Asking this question always left the two of them with a sense of decency.
Lu Sinian was referring to the writer Helen and the bookstore operator Frank, and he was also asking Su Xiaoli and himself.
Helen and Frank have only corresponded for 20 years, but they have never met.
Helen was a book-lover, and at the beginning of her correspondence, she was just buying and selling Helen's favorite old books, and soon due to the shortage of materials in England after the war, Helen mailed a lot of daily necessities and food from the United States to the bookstore.
What seems insignificant is also a rare relationship.
The content of the correspondence has also expanded from the initial search for books to complaining to each other. Lovely, romantic, idealistic, emotional, opinionated, and love-hateful.
A frank, enthusiastic, and free soul from the United States, and a British reserved, kind, and respectable gentleman.
This relationship, which has never met, has brought extremely precious and warm joy to both parties.
Unfortunately, it wasn't until 1970, two years after Frank's death, that Helen came to Rendon, the city of her dreams.
Baker Street is real, but 221B Baker Street is a non-existent address that was made usable in 1930 in honor of the Detective. Today, the address is allocated to the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
