Chapter 133 It's So Straightforward
People in corrupt countries often complain about the French, and French like to attack the British with British dishes that are chewed with wax. But to be honest, when it comes to cooking, the UK is indeed a little afraid to say anything. After all, the restaurants of various countries on the streets explain everything...
Compared to the dark food that comes with a casual cooking in the UK, French cuisine is indeed exquisite and delicious. Moreover, because of the romantic style of the French, French restaurants are also more beautiful than the other, which is especially suitable for a date with a bit of a slight mood.
As the butler of the Living Map, Paul sent Arthur and Jiang Lai to a French restaurant located in a very old building. The old and dilapidated ones are just the appearance. When you push open the thick wooden door, there is another world behind you.
The gray-gold color-blocked room looks very quiet and elegant, contrasting with the extremely textured marble panels. The entire decoration style is very luxurious like the French palace.
Caviar with clams, truffle eggs with salmon, aromatic oysters and artichoke pies, etc., and foie gras marinated with crab, beef nai and spicy tomato sauce is fragrant...
"...This is really incredible. I didn't expect you to be a film and television star in the dynasty. I have to say that I really admire your courage. I give up fame and fortune and choose to study abroad. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have. For this, I would like to pay tribute to you for your courage."
To be honest, Arthur did not expect that he would be so happy with Jiang Lai. He said that he had a deep conversation, but Jiang Lai might have had to find someone to talk to him. After drinking a glass of red wine, he became very talkative. His fair and pretty face had a faint sweet smile, telling Arthur about his past in the Celestial Empire.
"Ding" two crystal clear goblets holding bright red wine clinked together.
"Haha, when I first arrived in the UK, I was really sad and felt very disappointed. I gave up so much, but what I saw and felt seemed to be a little different from what I imagined studying abroad.
I found that I was not stepping on the big lawn in my dream, but the soil was covered with soil. What I lived in was not the castle I imagined, but the apartment of an elderly man who didn’t even have the Internet. I had no one to know, and I could only rely on myself for everything.”
After clinking glasses with Arthur and drinking a sip of red wine, putting down the glass, smiling like a crescent moon, the corners of his mouth raised, with a faint and quiet smile. Jiang Lai said with a bit of self-deprecating, with a hint of unforgettable aftertaste in his expression.
"...Every time I "stole" the net, I can be happy for a long time, but once I cut the net, I even squatted in the corner with my cell phone in my arms and cried. At that moment, I personally felt the loneliness of a person.
In the UK, there were no parents, relatives, classmates, friends, and the moment I was cut off the Internet, I felt that I was isolated by the world. At that time, I was really the only one with myself, only loneliness and confusion.
In addition to the loneliness of being in a foreign country, language has also become a big problem that has bothered me. Although I feel that my English is already very good in China, I only realized that my speaking is so bad that I have to start from scratch after I arrived in the UK.
Fortunately, I quickly adjusted my mindset, I wanted to integrate into it, and I wanted to make myself stronger. So I went to the restaurant to be a waiter, which was a great opportunity to practice speaking.
Now, I have integrated into the life here, so I don’t regret it. I think that only by experiencing it can I create my future self, create my own value, and make me different from others. I want to take a path different from others, an adventure path that belongs only to me, Jianglai. There is no right or wrong on this path, only dreams."
Arthur listened quietly to Jiang Lai's words, and looked at her sometimes clear and sometimes melancholy eyes, which made people impressed. In her, Arthur saw the flying and bright youthful meaning and tenacity. Her sweet smile was full of infectiousness. It was really more and more charming.
"Dreams... leave the most beautiful youth to your dreams."
Looking at Jiang Lai, who was smiling, Arthur sighed: "You are very different. You are really different. You are unwilling to be just a clockwork machine and stick to the rules on the planned road. A girl who dares to abandon her halo and take big strides on an unknown journey. I believe that your future will be more exciting and will become a real winner in life. Because only those who have been serious can be worthy of winning or losing."
"bite"
Arthur raised his glass and Jiang Lai, who was raising his glass, smiled slightly red with a pretty face: "Thank you, I can listen to me so much patiently. To be honest, I don't know why, I've said so much."
Arthur raised his glass and drank a sip of red wine, smiled slightly with his eyes flashing, and looked at Jiang Lai and said, "Maybe I am very friendly."
"Haha, maybe it's true." Jiang Lai's smile became even brighter.
In fact, if it is to say the reason, it should be Arthur's step forward and help in the morning, which left a deep impression and good impression on Jiang Lai, which made Jiang Lai subconsciously let go of some defenses. In addition, Arthur deliberately approached her, which made her feel relaxed and comfortable to get along with.
"Stop talking about me, what about you? Tell me, I'm really curious. A person who has never been to the Celestial Empire actually likes the Celestial Empire's network. This is really amazing." Jiang Lai blinked his big eyes, his eyes clear, and he asked curiously.
"Me?" Arthur couldn't help but smile, "The British, 21 years old, lives in the countryside, has some land, has several farms and ranches, a newspaper and a publishing house, and just set up a website... By the way, I'm still an unknown writer who can write something without any trouble."
"Oh!" Jiang Lai was shocked, and with a strange look, she exclaimed, and began to listen to Arthur's slightly joking tone introduction. She felt a little funny, but as Arthur finished speaking, she became messy.
Landlord, farmer, media tycoon, or a writer, still only 21 years old?
Well, in front of me was a rich second-generation from Britain. Jiang Lai couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Land, farms, newspapers and publishing houses are all industries I inherited, but they are all sunset industries, so I am trying to transform into it, the martial arts world website is a bold attempt."
Arthur did not avoid his identity as a rich generation, but naturally generously said that there was nothing he could not say about the industry he inherited with his "strength".
Faced with Arthur's indifferent candidness, Jiang Lai was a little embarrassed by the slightest contempt that flashed in his heart, but he did not show it, but asked curiously: "Are you still a writer?"
"The unknown one is to sort out some stories about my ancestors, write them, and serialize them in the newspaper. I didn't expect that the TV station would like to buy the copyright of the film and television. The filming will start in the near future and it should be broadcast next year." Arthur shook his head indifferently and smiled.
"..." Jiang Lai pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling a little amused. Is he pretending to be 13? It must be true. When did foreigners learn to pretend to be 13 so calmly?
"What's the name? I'll read the masterpiece after I go back."
"The name is "Bolin Manor". The entity has not been published yet. The content serialized in the newspaper is probably not easy to find now. Perhaps, it should be found on the Internet. After it is published, I will give you a copy."
"Bolin Manor?" Jiang Lai recalled it and was indeed not impressed, but he still smiled and said, "Then I look forward to your great work, a 21-year-old writer, it's really surprising... Wait, you can't be a big celebrity in the UK, right?"
Arthur shook his head and laughed at Jiang Lai, who looked wide with beautiful eyes and looked surprised, said, "I said it's unknown. Come and try this oyster, it's very delicious."
"Thank you." Jiang Lai said thank you, and looked at Arthur and said, "To be honest, you are very different from the British people I have come into contact with. I feel that there is no obstacle to communication with you. I mean obstacles in culture, consciousness, etc. Thank you, I haven't been so happy in chatting for a long time. Thank you for listening to me so much."
"Haha, don't be polite. If you want to chat with someone in the future, you can find me. Of course, if you want to eat delicious food, you can also find me. You are very beautiful, especially your smile, which is beautiful and contagious. I like it very much." Arthur did not hide at all, and directly expressed his true feelings and his goodwill towards Jiang Lai.
Looking at the shy and panic expression on Jiang Lai's pretty blushing face and the dodging gaze that was as if he was frightened, Arthur smiled and said, "Okay, I may be too direct. I hope I didn't scare you, but I do think so in my heart. I can't deceive my heart, right?"
