Opening the door, a mixed smell of woody aroma and thick soup floats to the tip of the nose.

Zhong Ning looked at the long corridor in front of the entrance with some curiosity. At the end was a spiral staircase. There were two doors on the left and right in front of the staircase, which was somewhat similar to the structure of the villa originally rented by the school.

Barry led her to the living room on the left, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw his parents greeted her with smiles on their faces.

"You're so pretty, maybe I didn't even remember you when I was a kid." Although he still had some Cantonese accent, Uncle Huang was obviously better at Mandarin than his son.

"I remember my uncle's and aunt's, at a certain banquet." Zhong Ning shook her head obediently, and brought up the past with a smile.

"I heard from Zhong Nan that you were going to study in England, so I kept telling him that I wanted you to come as a guest." Mrs. Huang came from the kitchen and enthusiastically took her to the sofa by the French window in the large living room, "Sit first, You can eat right away."

"It's okay." The warmth between the two made Zhong Ning's heart feel warm.

"Hey, turn on the TV and watch it," Mrs. Huang suddenly interrupted their chat. Mr. Huang turned on the TV clearly, tuned the channel to BBC, and switched out the English subtitles.

"Did you often watch TV after coming to England?"

"Well...not anymore. We all watch very little and like to go out and play more."

Zhong Ning chatted with him one after another, but her attention was gradually attracted by the talk show on TV. The male host with deep contours stood in front of the camera and introduced the show in a pure English accent.

"Spower of human" Zhong Ning muttered the title of the program. It turned out to be a documentary about human supernatural power. Is BBC doing this kind of program?

"What's wrong?" Barry noticed that she was in a daze, "..." Zhong Ning thumped in her heart, as if she had been seen through in an instant, she raised her hand guiltily and put her hair behind her ear, "It's okay."

……

Barry didn't delve into this matter, he seemed to remember something, looked around, "Where's Anna?" "Playing with your sister upstairs, call them after dinner," Mrs. Huang replied while chopping vegetables .

"Anna?" Zhong Ning heard an unfamiliar name.

Mr. Huang explained, "It's okay, our neighbor is a girl Anna, her parents live in the southern suburbs, and she lives here alone, so I asked her to have dinner with me." He suddenly remembered something, looked at Barry, "Hey , does Anna go to the same school as Zhong Ning?"

"Well," Barry nodded, "It seems to be lse's financial mathematics r, let's go with you, business school."

"Anna, is she...British?" Zhong Ning was taken aback. She was also a business student, but this was the first time she had heard of this name.

Barry shook his head, "Anna's Chinese name is Su Yuan. She is a Hong Kong-born BBC. She grew up in London. You'll know her later. She's quite powerful."

"..." Zhong Ning nodded, inexplicably a little nervous.

"Barry, ask your sisters Fiona and Anna to come down for dinner." After adding water for the last time, the soup that had been cooking for a whole day was finally about to be served. Following Mrs. Huang's instructions, Barry stood up again, "Okay."

It didn't take long before I heard cheerful going downstairs and laughter from the wooden stairs.

……

"Fiona is my youngest daughter. Every time Anna comes over, I insist on pulling her to play with her. She is very clingy," Mr. Huang mentioned his youngest daughter with a smile on his lips. Zhong Ning stood up with him and responded with a smile. , "Children."

Like a gust of wind, a short little girl rushed into the arms of the person next to Zhong Ning, saying "Wow--" indistinctly, "I'm calling someone." Mr. Huang shook her body and asked Dao, there is obvious pampering in the words.

a raised her immature face, and suddenly stood up straight seriously, Tong Yin softly greeted Zhong Ning, "Hi, there." pat her head.

The moment she leaned over, she suddenly heard a voice from the side.

"isn't she lovingly"

The elegant and non-procrastinating standard English accent perfectly matched the woman in the dream. Zhong Ning felt her body tremble, and her fingertips that had just protruded a few inches stopped in the air, completely forgetting what she was going to do.

She stabilized her mind, just about to answer with a smile, "ly"

But the moment he raised his eyes, he met those beautiful shallow eyes. Su Yuan looked at her with a smile, and with another polite greeting, he stretched out his hand, "hi, i'a."

When the eyes met, Zhong Ning only felt that her cheeks were flushed.

"……Um"

The first time she was so nervous that her face became hot, it was in front of a woman, Zhong Ning pursed her lips, what kind of thing is that.She raised her hand, and her fingertips rested awkwardly on the other's palm. It was only a short moment of contact, and the soft temperature pulled her into a dream.

A squinted his eyes, looking repeatedly at Zhong Ning's flustered eyes.

Dreams don't last long.

Barry quickly followed, "I forgot to tell you, Anna's Mandarin is worse than mine, you may only be able to communicate in English." After speaking, he repeated in Cantonese, "Anna, your Mandarin is worse than mine Ah."

"Well, no problem."

Zhong Ning withdrew her hand with a concealed smile, her abnormal performance was reflected in the other party's eyes, "that'." Su Yuan's eyes lightly swept across Zhong Ning's eyes, and she just smiled.

……

The dinner finally started, and Zhong Ning was arranged to sit next to Su Yuan.

She couldn't help but secretly looked at the other party, decently dressed, exquisite appearance, could it really be her?Zhong Ning was so engrossed that she almost didn't look away the moment Su Yuan tilted her head.

"..."

"Since Anna is here, let's all speak English, let me introduce you first."

Fortunately, Uncle Huang distracted Su Yuan's attention by opening his mouth. He pointed at Zhong Ning, "Zhong Ning is the daughter of an old friend in China, and you and I are both graduate students of London Political Science and Economics." Then he pointed at Anna, "I have already introduced some to you just now. Su Yuan's parents are in business. She herself resigned from the investment banking department of ubs at the beginning of the year to study r. She should be a few years older than you."

"ubs... Swiss Bank?"

Sure enough, they were right, "It's amazing."

Barry nodded, "It's very powerful. After 2 years of analyst, it's pretty fast, and it's probably not too far away from VP after promotion, so I always think that she doesn't need to study anymore."

Su Yuan wiped her lips gracefully, and said with a light smile, "Thank you for the compliment." Not intending to respond to Barry's confusion, she suddenly turned sideways to look at Zhong Ning, her eyebrows raised slightly, "I heard from Barry that you read banking? "

Zhong Ning didn't expect that she would ask herself, so she nodded.

Su Yuan hooked the corners of her lips, "Then next semester, I will have a class with you."

"Ah, is that so?" Zhong Ning looked at her slightly curved eyes, and responded with some embarrassment, "Yes." Su Yuan looked at her inexplicably, tapping lightly with his fingertips on the table.

"..."

What do you mean, you suddenly asked about this, just to tell yourself that you have a class together?

Zhong Ning's face turned red, but in an instant, the topic was already diverted by others.

Embarrassed, she started to beat a drum in her heart, what exactly is Su Yuan trying to hint at me?Although he doesn't want to admit it, the woman in the dream obviously maintains a very close relationship with him. Could she really be that person...

"..."

Zhong Ning couldn't help but took the opportunity to raise her eyes, and once again peeked at Su Yuan from the corner of her eye.

Answering Barry's parents kept asking her about eating habits, whether she could cook, etc., Zhong Ning maintained a shallow smile and looked at Su Yuan from time to time, letting those words pass through her ears .

"..."

Suddenly, the other party seemed to have noticed something, and glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally.

When the four eyes met, Zhong Ning felt her cheeks burning again, and she picked up other people's topics like a cover-up, no matter whether it was abrupt or not, "But I haven't gone out to play much since I came to London, and I will have a chance after Christmas." .”

Not knowing if she successfully diverted her gaze, Zhong Ning turned her eyes away in embarrassment, and unconsciously put the cup on her left hand. "But I have been looking forward to the New Year's Eve. I heard that there will be a newyear'sevefireworksshow."

"Yes, there are many performances, including hydepark over Buckingham Palace."

"You young people like this. There are too many people, and we don't like to join in the fun."

"It's a little less crowded from the London Eye."

"..."

Seeing them chatting again, Zhong Ning let out a long sigh of relief.

She subconsciously reached for the cup to her right hand, but just as she brought it to her lips, she noticed Su Yuan looking at her eyes out of the corner of her eye.What's going on, the topic didn't change, and she was watching me again... Zhong Ning pinched the corner of the cup, feeling that her palms were dripping with sweat.

It seemed that it had been a long time, so long that the edge of her thin lips had been pressed together.

Su Yuan said softly, "Sorry, that's my cup."
