The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 388

The afternoon sun shone down on them with exceptional patience.Chen Xing's shadow and Chris's shadow both fell on a wall in the yard, much closer than before.

Chen Xing lightly clenched his hands into fists.He had already struggled round and round in his heart, but he still couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

Several times, he almost told the whole story about Xingyuan leaving without saying goodbye.In a thought, looking at her agile eyes, he was instantly shaken.His fists were released quickly, and he hid them in his trouser pockets on both sides.

However, the silence was getting longer and longer.In restlessness, worries are like white foam floating on the rim of a beer glass, gathering more and more.So many that he felt guilty.

The truth must be told after all.But better not now.He was afraid that Chris, who loved to laugh and sing, would cry on the spot, and he was even more afraid that she would ignore him after she understood the truth further.

A bird with fluffy feathers flapped its wings and flew from behind the house.It fell on the jujube tree next to it like a small sandbag, basking lazily in the sun.

A shiny gray-blue long tail feather, unbiased, fell to Chris's feet with the wind.

She bent down to pick it up, holding it in her hand, looking fascinated.

The bird on the tree saw that its feathers were picked up by the beautiful woman, so it let go of its voice and sang. The voice was not mellow, but it was not unpleasant.

"Mr. Chen, you read a lot, tell me quickly, what kind of bird is this?"

A passing bird relieved his embarrassment.This was something Chen Xing never expected.

"Grey magpie," he said confidently, "in the village where I live, there are such birds in the yards of every household."

"It looks so cute. It's like a ball of yarn when it's puffed out."

Chris laughed as she spoke.There was innocence in his eyes.Just as she was thinking about how to use this feather, she heard a familiar and pleasant voice calling her name:

"Dear Chris! You are finally back, I must see you before leaving!"

"Xiao Lin! Mr. Gu! I'm very happy to see you together!"

Lin Mi smiled and ran from the direction of the kitchen, holding a round object in his hand.Qilan, with his hands behind his back, slowly followed behind his girlfriend.

The girl tore off a piece of hot cake with her slender fingers, and handed it to her good sister.

"Try it, I'm sure you like it! We've all eaten it."

It was the first time for Chris to taste the simple taste of the mountains.The small nose sucked hard, the white teeth chewed the cake, and quickly gave a thumbs up.

"Wow, it's really delicious!"

Lin Mi leaned over and fed her the cake piece by piece, she ate with great relish.If it weren't for the feather in her hand, the foreign girl would have to grab the cake and eat it herself.

Chen Xing saw that Chris was able to divert the attention of Magpie and Panzi at the critical moment, and a stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground with a "bang".He guessed that Lin Mi was not in a hurry to tell her the truth.Breathing is much easier.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qilan stepped forward with a confident smile on his handsome face.Before Chen Xing realized what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, he was lightly patted twice on the shoulder.

"Brother Chen, you stay in the yard to take care of Chris this afternoon and night. We're going out to do some business."

Qilan has a good heart.He and Lin Mi prepared dinner, snacks, and tea for the two of them in the kitchen.To eat and drink, just reach for it.

If it weren't for Zhu Xingyuan's departure like an invisible wall in the middle, Chen Xing and Chris could at least spend this happy night together as friends.

Regardless of Qilan's original intention, Chen Xing naturally felt that it was not appropriate: Isn't this putting him in an embarrassing situation where he has to tell the truth?
His voice was low, full of helplessness and desire to survive: "Xiaolan, where are you and Miss Lin, take me with you. I can stand guard for you."

Chen Xing was looking forward to giving a happy word, but he didn't know that he was also posing an evenly matched problem to his good friend.

Qilan also made a mistake.He and Lin Mi are not going to play, but to the medical clinic to ask Mr. Bai for a prescription.I went there twice, and the old man's attitude was okay, but his eldest grandson Baishu didn't give him a good face.

This person is afraid that visitors will stare at the precious medical books and medicinal materials at home, so he is extremely guarded.Every time Qilan came, the opponent would either hold a sword or compete in martial arts.Bring another companion, I am afraid they will not even be allowed to enter the door.

What teenagers think about is complicated, but girls think it is much simpler.They don't think of danger first, they only like to see the brightest side of things.

Lin Mi took Chris's hand, and happily came over: "Brother Chen, of course we go together, four of us are fine."

What she said made sense.Qilan immediately gave in:

"Okay, brother Chen, we're leaving soon. Go to the medical center I told you about before."

At the critical moment, finally, the siege has to be solved.He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with relief: "No problem. Pack up your things and let's go!"

The two teenagers each carried a small bag containing items that might be useful.They walked in front, discussing in low voices what emergencies they might encounter when going to the hospital.

The girls are like sparrows frolicking on branches in spring, playing lively with each other.They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and they talked about the butter bakery owned by Indians they had been to before, and they missed that taste again.

Lin Mi was still wearing the male student uniform to conceal his identity.Her braids are hidden under her hat.At first glance, he looks like a handsome boy.Kris didn't change her heels.I've been dancing for a long time, and I'm a little tired from walking.Lin Mi dragged her to walk slowly together.

Although walking side by side with Qilan, Chen Xing looked at Chris from the corner of his eye from time to time.Seeing that her gait was unsteady, he suggested calling a carriage.

There were many pedestrians and carriages on the road in the afternoon, but they all carried guests.He volunteered to stop him several times on the side of the road, but the driver still refused to stop.

Seeing that the carriage was empty, Qilan spread his palms, "Ladies, we are destined to walk." Then, he turned his head and whispered a few words to Chen Xing, which made him nod repeatedly.

Chen Xing ran into a shoe store on the side of the road with a smile on his face.After a while, he came out with a pair of well-made embroidered shoes.The soles of these shoes are thick, satin and comfortable inside.I asked the shop assistants to choose carefully.

"Miss Chris, take this, you can change it when your feet hurt."

The eyes of the foreign girl were full of emotion.She took the shoes and put them on, saying "thank you" repeatedly.The high heels on my feet are fine for dancing in the ballroom, but it is really not practical to go the same way.

She was still quite surprised, the size of this pair of shoes was suitable, and the color of the shoes was also her favorite.It's just that before she could put away the high heels she had taken off, the young man who delivered them put them into the bag first.

Lin Mi suppressed a smile, "Brother Chen, you are really smart." He was naturally proud in his heart, but he said modestly: "It's not as good as Miss Lin. Your solution is the best."
