Chapter 1125: Chapter 641: On Traveling Abroad
Lunch break.
With all his lifelong skills, Meng Gui transformed a messy room into spick and span, filling the two green garbage bins downstairs to the brim.
Then, he freshened himself up, using hair gel to craft a powerful hairstyle, creating an explosive effect that would absolutely dazzle his sister’s eyes!
To make her marvel, how could there be such remarkable men in the world?!
Then, Meng Gui looked at the TV in the living room, used the remote to turn it on, played some amorous music, and took out a high-class cocktail from the fridge — RIO, ready to sip leisurely with the beautiful sister, diving into a slightly intoxicated state together.
At the same time, he wrote a leave of absence note, fully prepared to take leave at any moment.
With everything ready, he picked up his phone to ask his sister how many minutes until arrival; he couldn’t wait to meet the beautiful lady!
Then Meng Gui found that the other party had deleted him.
That’s hard to take.
The spotless white floor reflected Meng Gui’s bewildered face.
He hurriedly added the contact back: "Sis, what’s going on?"
Nothing but silence.
Meng Gui: "Please, sis, come on!"
Once again, nothing but silence.
Feeling a sense of despair, Meng Gui prayed to the heavens, cursing all the scammers in the world.
The room was swept with much effort, so with an attitude against wastage, Meng Gui posted on QQ Space: "A day full of diligent work."
His good buddy Cui Yu was the first to like it: "Awesome!"
Meng Gui: "Yesterday you said my place was messy, today I’ve made you see it differently (grinning)."
...
Friday afternoon, in the classroom of class 8, facing south made the interior bright and warm.
Many students’ faces still bore traces of the grogginess from just waking up, as Bai Yuxia turned around and recounted to Jiang Ning the incident on her way to school.
On her way taking the bus to school, she saw an air conditioner fall off an old building, luckily it didn’t hit any pedestrians.
Bai Yuxia said: "If someone happened to be walking underneath at the time and got hit by the air conditioner, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Chen Siyu, playing at Xue Yuantong’s desk, immediately piped up upon hearing the example: "Many air conditioners only have a small iron frame underneath, I’m really worried they might fall."
Jiang Ning said: "Generally they won’t, that frame is quite sturdy, fixed with expansion screws, and there’s also a copper pipe connecting the indoor unit."
Chen Siyu: "But the iron frame can rust!"
Jiang Ning: "Then it’s up to luck."
Looking at the somewhat fearful Chen Siyu, actually, even in extreme situations, Chen Siyu would emerge unscathed, with the bracelet on her wrist engraved by herself, containing a Protective Spirit Shield.
Bai Yuxia saw her looking quite scared and said: "Actually, the chances are very, very small, much smaller compared to car accidents."
Chen Siyu sighed: "Suddenly feels like the human body is so fragile, just a tiny accident and..."
"Can’t do anything about it." Bai Yuxia gave a gentle smile, having come to terms with it, "If it’s destined, it will be, if not, don’t force it."
Jiang Ning glanced at Bai Yuxia’s wrist, noticing the white jade little tiger he had engraved, still adorning her wrist, the smoky purple jade bead adding charm to her skin.
Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense gathered, in an instant, countless scenes flashed through his mind, confirming that she had worn it ever since he gifted Bai Yuxia the bracelet.
Even though this white jade little tiger wasn’t engraved with a Protective Body Array, just an adornment, never reminding her to wear it all the time, never to take it off.
But she still wore it continuously.
For a moment, Jiang Ning was speechless, choked up.
...
In the center of the classroom, surrounded by a few girls, Dong Qingfeng pointed across the landscape with vigor, having a great time!
Noon sunlight poured over Dong Qingfeng, making him shine too bright to look at directly.
Jiang Yanan: "Hot topics say that Evergreen Liquid not only invited chefs from the mainland but even hired foreign chefs; it’s said that Michelin-level cuisine can be savored live!"
Her words were full of yearning, the Evergreen Liquid release event this time wasn’t merely an ordinary release, seemingly including entertainment sections.
Yu Wen: "I’ve never had authentic Western cuisine before, wonder if I can get used to it."
Meng Zi Yun came over to chat, upon hearing this, she showed some hesitation.
Yuzhou is merely a regular prefecture-level city, seldom connected internationally, few students have seen the world.
Dong Qingfeng said: "Western food, it’s like that, but there are things worth eating, I love foreign ice cream, it has a rich milk taste."
He talked at length about dining in upscale restaurants, like buffets, in Jiang Yanan and Yu Wen’s understanding, a buffet is taking a plate to get what you want.
Dong Qingfeng spoke of another type of buffet, an order-style buffet: "These dishes are all freshly made by the chef once you order them, ensuring that the buffet enjoyed is the freshest, mainly found in Western and Japanese restaurants."
Jiang Yanan was surprised: "I never heard of it until you mentioned it."
Dong Qingfeng revels in the girls’ admiration, gentleness, and adoration, feeling like he’s reached the pinnacle of life.
He slightly turned his head, noticing the scene on Jiang Ning’s side.
Remembering back then, at that time, Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu were still part of their group, in the same study team, back then Chen Qian was still a cheerful boy, fond of boasting.
After one exam, their group dissolved, Chen Qian seemed like he became a different person.
Seasons change, seas turn into mulberry fields, only I remain dashing!
Dong Qingfeng, after an excited chat, strolled to Jiang Ning’s side, initiated a conversation: "The day after tomorrow is the release event for Evergreen Liquid; for us attending, let’s exchange more that day."
Originally, according to Dong Qingfeng’s thinking, a small group should’ve been prepared, then he reconsidered, sharing in a small group is not as fun as live streaming in the class group?
Dong Qingfeng said: "When the banquet starts, let’s find a few spots to sit, when selecting dishes, if you find anything confusing, I can offer free explanations."
His smile was sincere, albeit occasionally glancing toward Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu, betraying his ulterior motives.
Jiang Ning replied: "Sure, if there’s a problem, I’ll definitely ask you."
Dong Qingfeng’s smile grew wider: "But speaking of which, suddenly switching to Western dishes might be hard to adjust to, I felt very uncomfortable when I traveled to America."
Upon saying this, even Xin Youling nearby cast a glance.
Going abroad... such distant dreams, for the students of class 8, not to mention going abroad, many have not even set foot out of the province.
Chen Siyu: "Have you ever traveled abroad Jiang Ning? Heard you need a passport and visa to go overseas."
Jiang Ning: "Haven’t gotten a passport."
Dong Qingfeng feigned surprise: "No way, you’ve never been abroad?"
He regretted: "That’s a shame, traveling abroad lets you see more of the world, seeing a different civilization."
"Different languages, different cuisines, I stayed in America for a while, got used to Western food, then suddenly returning home, I must admit it was hard to adapt."
Bai Yuxia nodded: "Yes, it’s normal, unfamiliar places do require adjustment."
Dong Qingfeng, receiving affirmation, smiled even more brightly.
Bai Yuxia continued: "I had trouble adjusting to Chinese food when coming back from France, went through a phase of being really hungry, luckily a friend brought me Pan Pan French-style mini bread."
"After transitioning a bit, I adapted quickly." Bai Yuxia said earnestly.
Why does Dong Qingfeng feel this sounds increasingly wrong?
Jiang Ning added: "That’s right, when I went to Switzerland to buy watches before, also found it hard to adjust when coming back, had to rely on the Swiss rolls Tongtong gave me."
Tongtong raised her head: "Swiss rolls?"
