Autumn Yu'an

"I didn't take a closer look at the taste just now, do you want to taste it?" Qin Qingqiu brought the ice cream to her mouth,

Lin Yu'an hesitated, couldn't bear the foodie's heart, stuck out his tongue, rolled it lightly,

Light mint flavor, taste very refreshing.

"It's still delicious with vanilla flavor." Lin Yu'an looked at Qin Qingqiu with a smile and said,

Just look at her staring at the ice cream in a daze.

Seeming to be a bit impolite, Lin Yu'an looked up at her and said anxiously,

"How about I go buy another one?"

"No need", Qin Qingqiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go down the mountain",

Her hand paused, and she took a bite of the ice cream.

After leaving Table Mountain, the two went to the Cape of Good Hope.

Lin Yu'an refused to climb the mountain, only walked to the sign that said Cape of Good Hope,

I took a photo of a tourist visiting here.

"Here, that's the Cape of Good Hope, the place where we boarded the ship to Cape Town," Qin Qingqiu pointed to Lin Yu'an,

"There is a lighthouse there, which is used to commemorate. This is where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Indian Ocean."

There was a strange smell in the air, mixed with the sea breeze.

"Why does it smell weird and fishy, ​​is it the smell of sea water?" Lin Yu'an sniffed his nose and said.

Qin Qingqiu led her around the cliff and walked to the rocky beach on the other side, and saw a stranded whale.

The skin has been scorched by the blazing sun, exuding a smell mixed with sea water and rancidity.

"It's a whale." Lin Yu'an frowned, "Why didn't anyone send it back to the sea?".

Qin Qingqiu said, "There are whales that are stranded every year. Because of their huge size, the cost of sending them back to the sea is not low.

Neither the government nor the scenic spot management want to take care of it, so it can only rot here a little bit.”

Lin Yu'an couldn't bear it, and looked back at the whale frequently,

From time to time, seagulls landed on it, pecking and pecking.

"I'll take you to see real whales if I have a chance," Qin Qingqiu patted her on the shoulder.

After coming out, Lin Yu'an called the driver.

The driver picked them up, and Qin Qingqiu gave the driver an address.

On the way back, it was the afterglow of the setting sun, the sky was full of sunset, and there was no shelter at the end of the road.

The round and golden sun, like the yolk of an egg, is reflected in the eyes at the end,

The coastal road, the sunset and the sunset are really beautiful.

The driver dropped the two off at a seaside shopping mall and went to find a place to eat by himself.

The setting sun was about to sink to the bottom of the sea, and the auspicious clouds in the sky turned from red gold to blue.

The sky and the sea complement each other, and the lights are lit up one by one at night.

The Ferris wheel by the sea lights up and turns slowly.

"Every time I finish climbing Table Mountain, I like to come and have a sit",

Qin Qingqiu took Lin Yu'an and sat down at a seaside restaurant,

"The steak here is delicious".

The little lights are swimming like stars, and the waves are beating against the rocks in the ear,

Slowly the sea breeze passed by.

Not far away is the Ferris wheel, there is a band playing music, talking and laughing, noisy,

Some tables were drinking vigorously, dancing to the music.

It has to be said that Qin Qingqiu is really good at choosing places.

Qin Qingqiu ordered red wine, the waiter first poured half a glass for Qin Qingqiu to taste the wine,

She shook the glass, sniffed it, then sipped it in one sip, and nodded to the waiter.

Only then did the waiter pour half a glass for Qin Qingqiu and Lin Yu'an.

The two drank wine and chatted.

Qin Qingqiu put a piece of steak into his mouth with a fork, ate it in small bites, raised his eyes and asked her,

"What would you be doing now without me?"

Lin Yu'an thought for a while, "Usually during holidays, the nanny will ask for leave,

At this time, I should hide in the house and eat instant noodles",

Seeing Qin Qingqiu smiling, Lin Yuan asked her back,

"Then what are you doing? In a meeting?".

Qin Qingqiu shook his head and said, "If there is nothing to do on holidays,

I will also do nothing, hide in the room and eat instant noodles",

"Ah, really?" Lin Yuan wondered,

They are all the presidents of the company, and they still have instant noodles.

"It's so deceiving," Qin Qingqiu smiled, his eyes were crooked, with a sly light shining.

Sure enough, Lin Yu'an looked at her annoyedly,

People like Qin Qingqiu enjoy life,

She is picky eater, she doesn't even like the meal cooked by the nanny, can she eat instant noodles?

Lin Yu'an took a hard bite of the steak, chewing it so fiercely that Qin Qingqiu couldn't straighten up with laughter.

After eating, the two walked along the seashore. It was Lin Yu'an who came out for a walk.

Usually, Lin Yuan dare not even go to the supermarket 800 meters away from the dormitory.

I heard that some people used to walk to the supermarket to buy things at night, and they were robbed.

Overseas people love to rob Chinese people, rich and fearful,

Usually they spend money to eliminate disasters, and they will not resist.

"This area is dominated by white people, and there are security guards nearby, so it is relatively safe," Qin Qingqiu said.

"In other places, you are still not allowed to come out alone, do you hear?".

Lin Yu'an responded, and suddenly remembered that Chen Qin had said that Qin Qingqiu had been robbed at gunpoint before.

"Have you really been robbed?" Lin Yu'an raised his eyes and asked,

"It's normal for someone like me to travel overseas all the year round," Qin Qingqiu said softly.

"Last Tuesday, didn't I go to a Chinese restaurant to eat hot pot with Lao Ma and the others?

As a result, the Chinese restaurant was closed. I heard that it was robbed at gunpoint by assailants the day before.

He beat the boss until his head was bleeding, and locked him for several hours, forcing him to ask for the password of the safe.”

"Ah, why haven't I heard of this?" Lin Yu'an was startled.

"Originally we were going to eat hot pot that day, but it happened that the meeting was too late, so we changed it to Tuesday, and just missed it",

Qin Qingqiu also said with a little fear.

Lin Yu'an's face was pale, she couldn't imagine,

What would happen if Qin Qingqiu really encountered this situation.

As an executive of Mitutoyo, it seems that it is not as easy as imagined.

"I have been to Pakistan and Libya before...", Qin Qingqiu said slowly,

"From time to time there are power cuts, water cuts, and terrorist attacks...",

"As for Central and West Africa, there are diseases and fleas in rented cars,

Every time I met with the senior management of the client, I came back and saw that my legs were full of flea bites.”

Lin Yu'an looked at Qin Qingqiu and suddenly admired her a little.

In the past, she was regarded as a target, but now she is more like an idol, a goddess,

She is fearless and dared to go to Africa alone when she was young.

As an executive, I will also go to war-torn and disease-ridden countries.

"You know, I have an ideal," Qin Qingqiu looked at the vast sea,

"Sell domestic products to the whole world, and sell Mitutoyo's products to every country."

She firmly said, "In order to realize this ideal,

I am willing to leave behind a life of comfort and ease, and fight for it all my life",

Lin Yu'an's blood boiled a little when he heard Qin Qingqiu say,

"Mitutoyo has dispatched employees in many countries, and everyone is working hard overseas.

What reason do I have for not visiting them and supporting them? ".

Qin Qingqiu looked back at Lin Yu'an, "Besides, where is the scenery?

South Africa has the danger of law and order, but it also has fascinating beauty.

Avoiding danger, but not being able to enjoy a different kind of scenery."

Lin Yu'an looked at her straight and said softly,

"There were pioneers who opened the way before, and we latecomers should do our best,

Contribute a small amount of strength to Mitutoyo."

The bright moonlight fell on the sea surface, the sea breeze blew her hair, and the melodious sound of the violin came faintly,

Qin Qingqiu's eyes were firm and persistent, it was an admirable longing, which reassured Lin Yu.

The two chatted a lot before the driver took them back.

On the way back, Lin Yu'an didn't say anything.

Qin Qingqiu's appearance kept circling in her mind,

Every time I think about it, I feel my heart beating faster and my skin feel hot.

Walking to the yard, the two stood in the yard, the moonlight was falling, and they said good night to each other.

Lin Yu'an wanted to turn around, but Qin Qingqiu didn't move,

She saw Qin Qingqiu's eyes flowing, flashing things,

It passed too fast, she didn't catch it.

She thought, Qin Qingqiu seemed to have something to say, but didn't say it.

On the third day, Qin Qingqiu called Lin Yu'an early in the morning.

After climbing the mountain for a whole day, Lin Yu'an's whole body was about to fall apart. He lay in bed and refused to get up.

It wasn't until Qin Qingqiu came to knock on the door that she opened it with a bitter face.

"Let's go, play somewhere else today",

Qin Qingqiu was wearing a red jacket and a small round cap, looking energetic.

The current leader has great energy, Lin Yu'an lamented.

"Don't worry, you don't need to walk today," Qin Qingqiu looked at Lin Yu'an with a sad face, and comforted him.

"Eat breakfast first, we will go to the beach to eat fresh seafood later."

Lin Yu'an was next to Qin Qingqiu in the back row, dozing off little by little,

She was wearing an orange sun protection suit with short sleeves, a white sun hat, and sunglasses, just to block the sun.

Falling asleep, Lin Yu'an felt quite comfortable, and yawned,

Opening his eyes, he found himself leaning on Qin Qingqiu's shoulder,

Immediately, she sat upright, the fragrance of Qin Qingqiu's body still lingering on the tip of her nose.

The driver first sent them to a seaport,

Fishing boats catch fresh fish and shrimp, and there are restaurants all around.

Qin Qingqiu ordered prawns and fish, "Eat less, I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable when I'm going to take a boat later",

Lin Yu'an paused while holding Xia's hand, "Want to take a boat?".

Qin Qingqiu looked at her with a smile, "Yes, go out to sea and show you real whales,

Not the one that was stranded, but the whale swimming freely in the sea."

Lin Yu'an's eyes lit up, he was looking forward to it, and asked excitedly,

"Can you really see it?!",

"We'll go out to sea by boat after eating," Qin Qingqiu saw the waiter handing over the bill, and was about to pick it up.

Being snatched by Lin Yu'an, every time Qin Qingqiu insisted on paying the bill, she was very embarrassed.

Finally got it once, "Let me pay the bill today",

"It's not long since you graduated, how can I make you pay for it", these are Qin Qingqiu's original words.

"It's okay, I can reimburse you, entertain the leader's business...expenses...",

What Lin Yuan blurted out,

In Qin Qingqiu's eyes, he swallowed it abruptly.

"Well, you, Lin Yu'an, have already learned how to do this."

Qin Qingqiu folded his arms and looked at her with scrutiny.

The author has something to say:

The little slicker has learned to reimburse the business expenses of the hospitality leader...

Mr. Qin: Hey, you don’t learn the good ones, but you learn the bad ones quickly...

The next chapter is out to sea..
