The Starry Sky, The Starry Sea: Chapter 13 The First Kiss Like Snow

Chapter13 The first kiss like the first snow

The thing I want to do most now is to do all kinds of things with you, whether it is climbing a mountain or going to the sea together, it doesn't matter what I do, what matters is that we are together.

In the morning, when I woke up, I looked haggard, with two big dark circles under my eyes, obviously I didn't sleep well. Wu Julan must have guessed the reason for my insomnia and didn't ask anything.

I said to Wu Julan: "A gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. The coral stone of conch jade and the fossil of nautilus are not favorites of grandpa. It is useless for me to keep them in my hands. I want to sell them .”

"To whom?"

I blinked and couldn't answer. This kind of thing can't be brought to the market and sold by shouting, right?

"You contact Wu Jingjing and let her handle this for you."

Yes! When Wu Jingjing talked about the quality and market price, she must know someone well.

I asked Jiang Yisheng for Wu Jingjing's phone number and called Wu Jingjing.

After listening to what I said, Wu Jingjing agreed, "I will help you contact a friend to deal with this matter today. After get off work, I will come to you and ask Brother Ang to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Rice."

When Wu Jingjing mentioned "dinner", her voice was particularly cheerful. I was a little puzzled. She likes Wu Julan's cooking so much?

In the evening, Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing came together.

Seeing the dishes on the table, Wu Jingjing laughed so hard that she could hardly find her eyes. She said to me: "I never thought that I would be able to eat... such delicious food in my lifetime." After she finished speaking, before anyone else could pick up the chopsticks, she began to bury her head in the food regardless of her image.

I see Jiang Yisheng, in order to catch up with the Witch Queen, shouldn't he learn how to cook?

Jiang Yisheng asked: "What about Datou and Zhou Buyan?"

"I left the island this morning." Zhou Buwen told me in a WeChat message without even calling.

Jiang Yisheng was silent for a moment, and began to eat without saying a word. Jiang Yisheng has the highest IQ among the three of us. He can naturally think of anything I can think of. He is afraid that his father was injured. He also has doubts. It's just that, before there is conclusive evidence, both of us have a bit of an ostrich mentality, and we don't want to talk about it, and we don't want to face it.

After the meal, the four of them sat around the table, and Wu Jingjing said: "I have already contacted the auction house I know, and they will hold a small auction for us, and transfer these two items to my favorite at a fair price. Their people. The auction is held in New York, Xiaoluo, you need to go to New York.”

"Ah? Is it necessary? I don't need all the auction items to appear when I watch the auction on TV!"

Wu Jingjing said: "You don't need to stand there to sell your products, but there are many documents that must be signed by you yourself. New York is a place worth visiting, so you have the right to travel! I am in Growing up in New York, I am very familiar with it, and will always be with you, or let Jiang Yisheng go with you."

I looked at Wu Julan hesitantly, not because I was afraid of traveling far away, but because Wu Julan was a "black householder" and couldn't do international travel at all, so I didn't want to be separated from him.

Wu Julan said: "Don't worry, we will meet again soon."

I thought about it, it's okay! Go one day, go back one day, spend another day or two doing business, and you should be able to go home in four or five days, and indeed we will meet again soon.

Seeing that I have no problem, Wu Jingjing asked Jiang Yisheng with a smile, "Do you want to accompany us to New York?"

Jiang Yisheng said indifferently: "Okay! At least I can help you with your luggage."

Wu Jingjing said: "Give me your documents and information, and I will take care of everything. Don't worry, you will have a wonderful journey!"

I always feel that the witch queen's smile seems to have successfully seduced the smile of Little Red Riding Hood's grandma wolf, which makes people feel a little shivering, but we are just going to sell things, so there should be no problem, right? If the Witch Queen wants to rob money, there is no need for us to go to New York; if she wants to rob sex, the unlucky one is Jiang Yisheng anyway!

Under Wu Jingjing's intensive arrangement, after more than two weeks, Jiang Yisheng and I successfully obtained the visa and other relevant documents.

Wu Jingjing asked me when I was going to leave, and I said the sooner the better, there is still a week before the full moon, and I must come back before then.

Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing and I left the island by boat, and Wu Julan went to the pier to see us off.

I was full of sorrow and worry, and I called Wu Julan over and over again. I wrote down a long list of phone numbers, all of which are the iron relations between me and Jiang Yisheng: doctors, policemen, supermarket owners, clothing store owners... covering life. In all aspects, no matter what problem you encounter, you can find a friend to help you with just one phone call.

Because the last time both of our mobile phones were broken as soon as they fell into the sea, I specially ordered two waterproof mobile phone bags from Taobao, one for Wu Julan and one for each of us. Ask Wu Julan to bring his mobile phone with him at all times, and call me whenever he has something to do, regardless of the jet lag.

I stood in front of Wu Julan, babbling on and on, eating, dressing, the safety of the island, typhoon season, bank cards, the cash I should bring with me... I don't usually feel that there are so many things to do Pay attention, but when you leave, you will find all kinds of worries.

The departure whistle rang, urging the guests who hadn't boarded the ship to hurry up and get on the ship. Reluctantly, I stepped back and got on the boat.

After the boat sailed, I stood on the deck until I could no longer see Wu Julan's figure, then I looked away. My mood was a bit dull, not only because of the sorrow of parting, but also because I felt that I was very reluctant to part with Wu Julan, but Wu Julan didn't seem to care so much about my leaving.

Wu Jingjing probably saw my unhappiness, and said to Jiang Yisheng in a very exaggerated tone: "Just now, I saw the funniest joke that I have lived to this age."

Jiang Yisheng asked cooperatively: "What joke?"

Wu Jingjing said: "A goldfish living in a fish tank greets a shark living in the ocean, worrying that he will encounter danger in the fish tank. Do you think it's funny? I'm getting goosebumps!" "

I was shocked, staring at Wu Jingjing and asked, "Why do you say Wu Julan is a shark living in the ocean?"

Wu Jingjing smiled and said: "It's just a feeling. Brother Ang looks like a very powerful person. He should have experienced many storms. You, at first glance, look like a little goldfish living in a fish tank."

I breathed a sigh of relief and told myself it was just a metaphor, don't be too nervous and make random associations.

After getting off the boat, we went to the airport by car.

After boarding the plane, Jiang Yisheng and I discovered that it was first class.

So extravagant? Both Jiang Yisheng and I looked at Wu Jingjing.

Wu Jingjing said: "Don't worry, the boss paid the money, and he asked to make the two guests who have traveled far away comfortable and happy."

"Boss?"

"It's the owner of the company that sells things for Xiaoluo. He is also very interested in the two items, so he should bid for them."

Jiang Yisheng asked: "Why do you call him the boss?"

Wu Jingjing shrugged and said: "Our family has been working for their family, and I will continue to work for him. What should I call my boss?"

I asked in surprise: "Aren't you a doctor?"

Wu Jingjing said indifferently, "That's a part-time job!"

Jiang Yisheng and I looked at each other, and Wu Jingjing smiled and said, "When we get to New York, you will understand."

Jiang Yisheng and I looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.

During the ten-hour journey, Jiang Yisheng had a beautiful woman by his side, talking and laughing all the way, which was very pleasant. However, I have been depressed because of Wu Julan's "light parting".

The plane landed at JFK Airport in New York, and I didn't feel the slightest excitement when I saw the scenery of a foreign country.

The driver who came to pick us up at the airport wore a neat black uniform and drove a stretched Bentley. When Jiang Yisheng saw it, he couldn't help but whistled.

I asked: "Who pays?"

Wu Jingjing said: "It's the same as our first-class air ticket, the boss pays."

I muttered: "The wool comes from sheep, and the money he spends must be earned back from me, but I don't want to pay for it myself, I always feel more comfortable."

Wu Jingjing poured each of us a glass of champagne, "Congratulations on our safe arrival in New York."

I took a sip of champagne, looked at the neon lights and the busy traffic outside the car window, and suddenly began to feel real, I'm in New York! The place where Wu Julan once lived!

It is obviously a completely unfamiliar city, but because I fell in love with someone, even the feeling of a city has completely changed.

Unfortunately, modern society is not like a hundred years ago, when you can buy a boat ticket and travel from one continent to another, otherwise I really want to visit this city with Wu Julan.

I suddenly asked: "Isn't New York in 1880s very different from what it is now?"

Wu Jingjing said: "It's very different. However, this is a country with almost no history, so it pays special attention to preserving history. Many buildings from that era have survived to this day. If you are interested, I can show you there .”

Jiang Yisheng asked strangely: "Little Luo, why are you interested in New York in that era?"

I took a sip of champagne in a concealed manner, "Just ask."

The driver drove past a place with dense shade and luxuriant grass. Many trees should be hundreds of years old, with thick trunks and gorgeous crowns. In a city full of high-rise buildings, such a place full of birdsong and flowers suddenly appeared, and Jiang Yisheng and I couldn't help looking at it curiously.

Wu Jingjing introduced: "The famous Central Park. It was established in 1857. It was the first landscape park in the United States. He took a deep breath, "Except for government and institutional buildings, only the world's top richest people can own apartments overlooking Central Park."

The driver parked the car in front of an apartment building, and Wu Jingjing said, "We are here."

I looked at Central Park, which was just across the street, and exchanged glances with Jiang Yisheng.

As soon as we got off the bus, someone came to help us with our luggage. The doorman in the red uniform should know Wu Jingjing, greeted her politely, and opened the door.

Wu Jingjing took us into the elevator. The elevator was driven by a gray-haired, hale and hearty black old man. Seeing Wu Jingjing, he greeted Wu Jingjing warmly and pressed the "Penthouse" elevator button representing the top floor. This is also one of only two buttons in this elevator, the other is "Lobby" which represents the lobby.

Wu Jingjing said: "This apartment building is the property of the boss, and my grandmother has been taking care of it. The other floors are rented out, and the top floor is reserved for the boss to live in occasionally."

Jiang Yisheng sighed and said: "Your boss is really good at making money!"

Wu Jingjing couldn't help but sneered, "There is a way to make money? He doesn't worry about it! The boss just bought it early in a daze. Central Park was built in 1857, and the boss...'s family bought it in 1852." The land here. At that time, this area was just a piece of wasteland." She frowned, and said bitterly: "When you go to Europe in the future, look at the boss in Paris, London, Copenhagen, Rome, the Vatican...they are all there. It will be even more shocking where you buy it! When I told people to buy it, it was junk that no one wanted, and no one believed it at all!"

When the elevator arrived, Wu Jingjing stepped out of the elevator and stood in a luxuriously furnished corridor, with wool carpets on the floor, oil paintings on the walls, and crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. She walked to the gate, entered a string of codes on the electronic lock, and the door opened.

As she walked in, Wu Jingjing said, "In order to facilitate your access, I have asked someone to set the password to Xiaoluo's birthday, which is the birthday of the lunar calendar."

I hurriedly said: "Don't bother, we just stay for two days and leave soon."

Wu Jingjing said: "It's all changed, should I change it back?"

All I can say is: "Thank you and your boss."

Wu Jingjing said indifferently: "Let's go, I'll show you around the house."

We walked along the porch and walked into the living room, and at a glance we saw the large floor-to-ceiling windows that almost occupied an entire wall. Outside the window is the blue sky, white clouds, lush forests, clear and beautiful lakes, and there are even several black eagles circling in the sky.

I am amazed that I can see the scenery like a wild forest in a reinforced concrete city. No wonder the houses around Central Park are expensive.

Wu Jingjing said: "Jiang Yisheng and I live in the guest room downstairs, and Xiao Luo lives in the master room upstairs."

The house is so tall that it could be made into upper and lower floors. Six meters high, the house looks big and deep, like a small castle.

Being curious about the life of the rich, I first visited the first floor with Jiang Yisheng, and then went to the second floor. We found that this house looks like a "castle", and there are very few houses that can actually live in it. In addition to the living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor, there are only two bedrooms, and there is only one large bedroom on the second floor. The other areas are: a reading area like a small library, an activity area with chairs and astronomical telescopes, sofas and Coffee table in the reception area. These areas have no real walls or doors, but are spaced apart by some clever placement, overlooking the downstairs living and dining room. The sofa in the reception area faces the huge floor-to-ceiling windows across the sky above the living room. You can enjoy the scenery outside while chatting.

I said to Wu Jingjing: "Your boss obviously regards this house as his own private territory. Except for the bedroom, there are no doors or walls in other places. It is obvious that he does not intend to invite strangers to live in. How could it be?" Give us a house to live in?"

Wu Jingjing smiled and said, "Empty is also empty, let us stay here, and you can save the hotel fee."

I said: "Although my two items are worth a little money, they are definitely not rare treasures. They can be sold for several million yuan at most. I always feel that the standard of reception is too high!"

Wu Jingjing patted my shoulder and said: "Don't think too much, you will understand soon."

I can only wait for the development of things. I said, "Do whatever else you want! But I will stay for two days at most, that is, I must return to China the day after tomorrow. Wu Julan is still waiting for me at home!"

Wu Jingjing said: "The boss wants to treat you to dinner tonight, you can tell the boss directly."

I yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy, I don't want to eat, I just want to sleep." Calculating the time, this point is four or five in the morning in China, when the dream is in full swing.

Wu Jingjing said: "Take a bath, don't sleep, keep it until night, otherwise the jet lag will not be over."

I went into the bathroom, ready to take a bath, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the shampoo and body wash were both my usual brands. It's just a small detail, but it makes me feel very considerate and thoughtful, and I feel a little better.

After taking a hot bath, my drowsiness and exhaustion were washed away. I sat by the bed, drying my hair, and casually looking at the layout of the bedroom.

A few beautifully colored conch shells were placed on the bedside and on the shelf for decoration, which made me feel kind for no reason. I thought to myself, this rich man should like the sea very much, no wonder he would want to buy my two stones.

After drying my hair, I stood in front of the French window of the master bedroom, overlooking Central Park, and sent a WeChat message to Wu Julan: "I have arrived in New York safely. If you have something to worry about, I can go and take a photo I'll show you."

There is no reply on WeChat, probably because I haven't woken up yet, so I put my phone away.

Wu Jingjing knocked on the door and said, "I'm going out for dinner."

"It will be ready soon."

Anyway, what the other party values ​​are my things, not my image. I am dressed very casually, with smoke gray narrow-cut jeans on my lower body, a straight-leg long-sleeved floral shirt on my upper body, and a camel knitting sweater cardigan jacket in my hand. , you can put it on when you go outside.

Wu Jingjing and Jiang Yisheng obviously chose their clothes carefully, one was wearing a small violet dress and a cashmere coat; the other was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and crisp trousers. When I went down, they were standing together, whispering, very eye-catching.

I said, "I feel like I'm your light bulb."

Wu Jingjing just smiled, Jiang Yisheng ignored my joke, picked up the trench coat and said, "Let's go!"

Wu Jingjing said that the place to eat was not far away, it was nearby, and the three of them walked there.

I deliberately walked behind, letting Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing walk in front.

Streets in foreign countries, endless pedestrians, English with various accents, and a pair of "lovers" who are developing like a golden boy and a jade girl.

At a red light, Wu Jingjing and Jiang Yisheng crossed the street and continued walking, but I was left on the side of the street. I didn't care too much, while looking at the photos on my phone and waiting for the red light, I thought about sneaking out at dinner later and calling Wu Julan.

When the red light turned green and I looked up, I found that Wu Jingjing and Jiang Yisheng were no longer in sight. I didn't dare to play with my phone anymore, so I put it back on and hurried forward, walking three intersections, but I didn't see them. I walked back and searched the neighborhood several times, but I still couldn't find Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing.

Fortunately, it was still early and there was a constant flow of people on the street, which made me not so nervous, but this is a foreign country after all, and my English is very average, so I still feel flustered. I took out my mobile phone and called Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing. Neither of them could get through on their mobile phones. I don't know if it was a signal problem or my international roaming was not activated at all.

I thought about it and decided to go back the same way. As long as I find an apartment to live in, I won't lose myself.

It's just that I was thinking just now, and followed Wu Jingjing in a daze, without remembering the way at all. I can only try to remember while trying to walk, the apartment building is not far away, if I go around a few times, I can always find it!

But I searched and searched, and the more I searched, the more flustered I became. According to the distance, I should have arrived near the apartment building early, but I didn't see the apartment building at all. I tried to ask for directions in English, but I couldn't tell which street the apartment building was on or what the house number was. The pedestrian who was asked shook his head impatiently, said "Sorry", and left in a hurry.

The night was getting darker and darker. I stood on a strange street and looked at the strange crowd, feeling very anxious and helpless.

Suddenly, I heard someone call: "Little Luo!"

The familiar Chinese made me feel like hearing the sounds of nature, and I immediately turned my head to look at Wu Julan standing under the dim lights across the busy street, waving at me.

I felt that I must be too anxious and had hallucinations. I couldn't help but close my eyes, and then opened them again. Wu Julan had already crossed the road quickly and came in front of me.

"Little Luo!" Wu Julan looked at me, revealing the joy of being relieved.

I went to touch his hand and felt that his body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people, so I was sure everything was true.

I was surprised and confused and asked: "Why are you here?"

"Wu Jingjing said that she lost you, so I came to look for you."

"It's not this, I mean, why are you in New York? How did you come here? You don't even have a document, how did you pass the customs?"

Wu Julan leaned over and whispered in my ear: "I am a fish, when did you see fish migrating and you still need to bring a certificate?"

Feeling his breath, I blushed, "Did you plan it long ago?"

"Yeah."

No wonder he didn't feel any sadness when we said goodbye; no wonder he always said that we would see each other soon every time I expressed the idea that I didn't want to go to New York. He did not leave lightly, but came to New York to accompany me. The awkwardness that had been entangled in my heart disappeared in an instant, and my heart was filled with joy.

I asked: "How did you find Liangliang and Jiang Yisheng?"

Wu Julan took out his mobile phone and shook it. It was covered with a waterproof plastic bag bought from Taobao, "Your call is not available."

"I couldn't make a call just now, maybe there is a problem with international roaming!"

Wu Julan asked: "Are you hungry? Let's go eat."

I took Wu Julan's hand and walked bouncingly, "I made an appointment to have dinner with Liangliang's boss, but I have been late for so long, and I don't want to go now. Call Liangliang Call and tell her I'm not going."

Wu Julan called Wu Jingjing and told her in fluent English that he found me and we wanted to have dinner together and let her boss take care of herself.

When he hung up the phone, I asked with a smile, "Do you always speak the language of that country whenever you have lived in it?"

Wu Julan did not deny it, but said lightly: "Although it is difficult to understand their hearts through human language, it is even more terrifying not to understand their language, just like a blind man walking on the highway."

There is a faint murderous intent in his words. Of course I understand that his past life will not be just reciting poems and playing the piano, drinking and dancing swords, but hearing it with my own ears is still a bit uncomfortable.

Wu Julan rubbed my head, as if trying to appease me from thinking wildly, he smiled and asked, "Did you have a good trip?"

I immediately regained my energy, and chattered from the plane to the apartment where we lived, expressing various incomprehensions about the generosity of the boss, "...maybe I have shallow eyes and didn't see In the past, I was a little flattered, and always worried that the boss was a weasel wishing the chicken a new year, and he had other plans..."

A police car stopped by the side of the road, and two policemen got out of the car. I made a sharp turn and dragged Wu Julan into the alley next to me. When the two policemen passed by, they glanced at us, my heart was beating wildly, I hurriedly put my arms around Wu Julan's neck, pressed my lips to his cheek, and made a gesture of affection.

When the police left, I breathed a sigh of relief and let Wu Julan go.

Seeing him staring at me blankly, I suddenly realized that I couldn't help scolding myself: "I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid!" When you see the police, you feel guilty, but you don’t want to think about it. You are walking on the street in a good manner. Which policeman will stop you to check your passport when you are free? On the contrary, it was my sneaky appearance just now that attracted attention easily.

I really want to cry because of my own IQ! I looked at Wu Julan pitifully, "I'm sorry! I almost caused a catastrophe, if you want to scold me..."

Suddenly, Wu Julan leaned over and kissed my lips lightly, my chattering stopped abruptly.

His kiss is like the first snowflake in early winter, cold and soft, it disappears as soon as it is touched, leaving only a little wetness, which proves that it has existed.

I held my breath and stared blankly at Wu Julan.

Wu Julan stared at me for a moment, then suddenly smiled. I'm used to his stern eyebrows and indifferent expression. It was the first time I saw him so gentle and willful. I just felt that his face was so charming at this moment, which made my heart beat like a deer, and my face turned red instantly.

Wu Julan's smile deepened, and he stretched out his hand to flick my cheek. While smiling, he took my hand and continued walking.

I became completely dumb and didn't say a word all the way.

Wu Julan led me into a western restaurant. After I sat down in a daze, I realized that Wu Jingjing and Jiang Yisheng were there.

Wu Jingjing lowered her head, with a look of "I did something wrong, I'm very disturbed", Jiang Yisheng looked at Wu Julan displeased.

I said, "You guys are here too? Liangliang, is it okay to release your boss' pigeons?"

Jiang Yisheng looked at me like a monster, and said contemptuously, "Your IQ is...unlimited!"

Wu Jingjing hurriedly said: "No problem! The boss won't mind, why did you get lost?"

"I looked at my phone, but I couldn't find you. It's because I was too inattentive when I was walking." I was very polite to Wu Jingjing, but I turned my face to Jiang Yisheng with another expression, "Your IQ has an upper limit. , I am a living person who is following you, what are you thinking in your heart, and you have never noticed that I am gone? See **** and forget friends!"

Wu Jingjing just recovered a little bit, and then began to bow her head and plead guilty again. Jiang Yisheng grabbed Wu Jingjing and said to Wu Julan, "I don't like western food, I want to eat Chinese food!"

Wu Julan said: "Okay."

Jiang Yisheng left with Wu Jingjing, I asked puzzledly: "Why does Jiang Yisheng seem to be a little angry with you?"

"Wu Jingjing said you lost it. I was in a hurry, so I reprimanded Wu Jingjing."

I'm not a child, so someone else will be responsible if I lose it? It seems a little too much... I tentatively asked: "Why don't you go back and apologize to Liangliang?"

Wu Julan glanced at me, picked up the menu and looked at it.

From the first day I met him, he never wronged his temper, and I didn't want to wrong him, so I decided to say a few nice words to Wu Jingjing to make amends!

I checked the menu and found it was French. It's not that I don't like French food, foie gras snails, caviar steak, etc., I also like to eat a few meals occasionally. But tonight, having just been on a long flight, jet-lagged, and not feeling well, I don't feel like eating any of these things.

Wu Julan asked: "What do you want to eat?"

I said sorry: "I just finished a long-distance flight. Actually, I want to eat a bowl of sour noodle soup most now."

"It's because I didn't think carefully." Wu Julan put down the menu and led me out of the restaurant.

I don't know where there is a Chinese restaurant, and Wu Julan must not be familiar with New York now, so I propose to go back to the apartment and make it myself!

When I visited the kitchen in the afternoon, I found that the boss or his subordinates were very thoughtful and meticulous. Soy sauce and vinegar are ready.

I vaguely described the location of the apartment to Wu Julan. I didn't expect him to find the right way, but I didn't expect to get back to the apartment smoothly all the way.

Using my birthday, I opened the door of the apartment, smiled and said to Wu Julan: "Let's experience the luxurious life of the rich!"

However, Wu Julan was not at all interested in the luxurious decoration and beautiful scenery of the apartment, so he glanced at it lightly and then looked at the kitchen.

I offered to ask: "Is it good? Soy sauce, vinegar, all kinds of seasonings, even fermented bean curd and bean paste."

Wu Julan said: "It's just enough."

I said: "This is the United States, or a foreigner's house, don't be so picky!"

Wu Julan took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, he made me a bowl of sour noodle soup with mixed vegetables and fried a piece of steak for himself.

We sat at the bar and ate one Chinese and one Western.

Under the bright light, Wu Julan was wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, but her every move exuded natural elegance. I sneaked glances and glances, and belatedly realized that the shirt he was wearing had never been seen before, and it looked very good.

I was afraid of embarrassing him, so I didn't ask whether the suit was stolen or bought. After dinner, I jumped off the high chair, ran to the sofa to get my wallet, and handed a card to Wu Julan, "If you want to buy things these days, use this card, and..." I Take out all the US dollar cash in the wallet and start counting the money, "Liang Liang said that there are not many opportunities to use cash in the United States, but sometimes cash is needed when tipping. I only exchanged 600 US dollars, and we are half of each other. Help me save, if I don’t have enough, I’ll exchange it again. Poor Family Rich Road, it’s rare for us to come out once, the most important thing is to have fun..."

I was nagging Wu Julan that Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing are back. Both of them knew the financial situation of Wu Julan and me. I took a look at them, didn't care, and handed Wu Julan the 300 yuan I counted.

Wu Julan took the cash and card without saying a word, and put them away carefully.

Jiang Yisheng and Wu Jingjing both stared at me and Wu Julan strangely.

"Wu Julan, you actually spent Shen Luo's money?" Jiang Yisheng's voice was weirder than his gaze.

I'm not happy, I regret that I didn't avoid them just now, just as I was about to explain, Wu Julan looked at Jiang Yisheng with a smile and said: "It's easy for a man to spend money for a woman, but it takes a bit of charm for a man to spend a woman's money Yes! Doctor Jiang, are you envious, jealous, and depressed?"

I'm very happy that Wu Julan didn't worry about the man's face and self-esteem, but he still explained: "Wu Julan just arrived in the United States, so he doesn't have time to exchange money. What's more, why do you want him to take my money? You don't know, I He earned all the money for me, mine is his, and he takes his own money!"

Jiang Yisheng sneered: "I also help our hospital make money! I haven't seen the director say that his money is my money!"

Wu Jingjing tugged at Jiang Yisheng and changed the subject, "Why didn't you eat at the restaurant? Don't you like the restaurant I chose?"

I said: "No, I have no appetite, I just want to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup."

Wu Jingjing said apologetically, "I was too careless. I didn't consider that you guys just got off a long-distance flight and you must only want to eat Chinese food."

"It's okay, you have taken good care of me. Liangliang, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

I am embarrassed to say: "I want Wu Julan to live here, is that okay?"

Wu Jingjing took a quick look at Wu Julan, "As long as Brother Wu is willing, I have absolutely no objection. However, Brother Wu can only live on the second floor, and the first floor is my and Jiang Yisheng's site."

"No problem! Thank you!" I said happily.

Wu Jingjing smiled meaningfully and said to us: "I'm going back to the house to take a shower and rest. Good night everyone!" After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Jiang Yisheng said "good night" and went back to his room.

I packed up the dishes and took Wu Julan to visit the second floor.

Wu Julan glanced at the other places and didn't seem to be interested, so he just stayed in the reading area for a while.

He was silent and looked at the books on the shelf with long eyes. I couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking?"

He stretched out his hand and took a book from the shelf, "A book I've read before."

I leaned over to look at it, and it looked very old. It was not English, nor Japanese, nor Korean. To me, it was completely bible.

"What book? What language is this?"

"Egnet and the Mermaid by HansAndersen. Danish."

Andersen? Denmark? Mermaid? Isn't it the famous Andersen! I said: "The Chinese translation should be "The Mermaid" or "The Daughter of the Sea."

"You are talking about "The Little Mermaid", which is a story about a mermaid, and this is "Agnete and the Merman", which is a story about a mermaid."

Andersen actually wrote a story about a merman? I asked curiously: "What is the story about?"

Wu Julan put the book back on the bookshelf, and said lightly: "This story is a poetic drama written by Andersen based on European folklore. He regards it as one of his best works. There are many versions of the story, but the general plot is the same , all about a merman with hair the color of pure gold and delightful eyes. One day he met a human girl named Agnete and they fell in love with each other and decided to live together. Agnete and the blond man The fish lived for eight years and bore him a child, but in the end, Agnete still couldn't give up the human life and chose to leave the merman forever."

I regretted asking about this story out of curiosity, and looked at Wu Julan in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

Wu Julan smiled and shook her head, held my hand with one hand, and flicked my forehead with the other, "I'm not that sensitive, don't think about it!"

I was relieved immediately, and I squeezed his hand tightly with a smile, he is not the blond mermaid, and I am not Agnete, we will never let go of each other's hands.

I pulled him out of the reading area and said with a smile: "There is only one bedroom. I sleep in the bedroom, and you sleep on the sofa in the reception area?"

"Okay."

After Wu Julan settled down, I fell on the bed and immediately fell into a sound sleep.

However, in the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up. After going to the bathroom, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep again. I checked my phone, and it was only 3:40 in the morning, which should be the legendary time difference.

I opened the circle of friends on WeChat, and after swiping through the circle of friends, I sent a message myself: "I can't sleep at night, I still have important things to deal with tomorrow, I hope I won't be dizzy, and I don't know if I sold myself. "

In addition to a few guys who liked it, there was actually a reply from Jiang Yisheng: "Don't worry, because...you have lost your brain."

I'm mentally balanced, and it looks like I'm not alone in jet lag.

I hesitated for a while, and sent a WeChat message to Wu Julan: "Are you still sleeping?"

After waiting for a while, Wu Julan replied: "You can't sleep?"

I was suddenly excited, "Well, what about you?"

Wu Julan: "I can't sleep either."

"Talk for a while?"

Wu Julan: "Don't get up, even if you can't sleep, lie down well, otherwise you will have insomnia tomorrow."

I obediently lay in bed and sent a WeChat message: "When I sell the two stones, I will be considered a little financially free, and you don't have to help me make money. Is there anything you want to do most? I I can do it with you."

I have long discovered that Wu Julan is a person who has no sense of material things at all. Because of the different life forms, for him, everything in the world is something outside of him. In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, he doesn't care about anything except food, and his food requirements cannot be met by human money. Everything he needs is in the ocean. However, because I still need material things, everything he does on the island, whether fishing or cooking, is to help me. This is why I decided to sell two stones, I don't want him to be fettered by money because of me.

Wu Julan: "What do you most want to do?"

"I'm asking you." I refused to answer.

I am afraid that as soon as I answer, he will give priority to me. Probably because Wu Julan's life is too long, for him, everything is a passer-by, not only he is indifferent to things not related to himself, but he doesn't care too much about things related to himself, anyway, he has plenty of time, if he doesn't do it now, he will It's too late to do it again. However, my time is limited. In his long life, my decades were so short that they hardly mattered. However, I hope that in the future, when he thinks of the time I spent with him, it will be wonderful, interesting, and joyful, not boring, dry, and ultimately worthless as a memory, and will be submerged in his long life .

Wu Julan said: "I say one thing, you say one thing."

I thought about it and compromised, "Okay."

"I want you to accompany me to the sea."

He definitely didn't mean to go fishing by boat to watch the sunset or something. After reading his words three times, I replied: "I'll go with you."

"It's your turn."

"I already said it."

"?"

"I want to go to the sea with you. I'm not lying to you. What I want to do most now is to do all kinds of things with you, whether it's climbing a mountain or going to the sea together. It doesn't matter, what matters is that we are together."

Wu Julan has not responded, I asked: "Is it too touched, or is it asleep? It is recommended to choose the first answer, otherwise it is not conducive to life safety."

Wu Julan didn't choose any of them, "It's almost dawn, let's rest for a while."

"Last question, what is your most impressive place in New York?"

"Theater."

I thought about it for a while, put the phone back on the bedside table, and closed my eyes.
