The driver was a white man with a big beard. Guan Jingyi conversed with him in English. Xu Anran was considered one of the top students in the university, and his English was considered very high among the professionals. However, when Xu Anran used her genuine London accent to bargain with him, Xu Anran immediately admitted defeat and prostrated herself in front of him.
Although Xu Anran was very studious in university and had passed the eighth grade in English, she had prepared for the entrance exams. Her spoken language was still poor and her hearing was not very good either.
There were a lot of words that she could recognize from the paper, but listening to the pronunciation was really difficult.
After getting on the car, Xu Anran asked in astonishment: Were you trying to haggle with the driver just now? I really didn't think that you would actually cut the price. "
Guan Jingyi raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "You shouldn't have cut the price, Mr. Driver is bullying us as foreigners, asking for a random price. "Actually, from here to where we have to stay, it won't be more than 50 euros."
Xu Anran's understanding of Guan Jingyi rose to another level. Although Guan Jingyi was rich, he was not like those noble young masters who would always have their fill of money and lavishly spend it. He had his own plans and preparations to make.
Furthermore, it could be seen that Guan Jingyi had really put his heart into it for the sake of this trip.
"Then I'll use your phone." Xu Anran said.
Guan Jingyi was delighted, and handed the phone over to Xu Anran. However, the moment Xu Anran received the phone, she was stunned. Her memory was not good, she could only rely on her phone's contact person to make the call, and now that Guan Jingyi was going to ask for a leave of absence from her, Xu Anran could only blink her eyes, as she obviously did not know Tan Qiuxu's number.
"About that, do you have the director's contact information?"
Guan Jingyi did not say a word.
Alright, it would be useless for Xu Anran to ask. Returning the phone back to Guan Jingyi, Xu Anran turned her head to look at the streets where they passed by together.
Not long after, Guan Jingyi's phone rang. When Guan Jingyi saw the caller ID, he frowned, looked at Xu Anran deeply, and muttered to himself for a while before answering.
Xu Anran thought, could it be that it had something to do with him?
"What is it?" Guan Jingyi's expression turned cold.
"Why didn't Xu Anran come to work today?" Tan Qiuxu asked on the other side of the phone.
Without rush or delay, Guan Jingyi knocked on the carriage's armrest with his fingers, and asked indifferently: "So, you called me here?"
After Guan Jingyi finished speaking, Xu Anran was even more certain that the phone call was to find him. After thinking for a long time, Xu Anran was unable to find him.
But looking at Guan Jingyi's attitude, it was not possible to say that he was from Xu Anran's family.
"Brother Yi, is this call for me?" Xu Anran asked.
When Tan Qiuxu heard Xu Anran's voice, he was even more certain that her beloved disciple had been kidnapped.
Xu Anran could hear the roar of Tan Qiuxu from afar, "She's about to undergo the final exam. Every day is a critical moment for Xu Anran. I advise you to treat her well, or she will hate you in the future. "
"Tan Qiuxu, you're being a little too lenient, right? Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, the only one who can control her from now on, is me. Guan Jingyi squinted his eyes.
"Brother Yi, allow me to say a few words to the director." Before Xu Anran could finish speaking, Guan Jingyi had already hung up and casually pressed the button.
Guan Jingyi turned around, the haze that was just left on his face had not dispersed yet. Guan Jingyi's face was still ashen, and he said to Xu Anran coldly: "In order to be fair, in the past few days that we were in Greece, my phone had been turned off, and I refused to receive any interference from anyone. The reason that An An has not brought your phone is also because of this consideration. Now, can you promise me that you'll have to accompany me for the next few days and sever all connections with everyone in the country? "
Xu Anran hesitated. With regards to the matters of the nation and work, she was still worried.
"An An, if you are willing to stay with me for a few days, then I won't interfere with your study abroad. Everything, you have to rely on your own strength.
"You're lying again. Didn't you just say last time that if I were to accompany you to a charity dinner, you would consider it? Even now, you still dare to use this matter to threaten me. "
Guan Jingyi raised his index finger and shook it, saying, "An An, didn't you say just now that I would consider it, and I wouldn't necessarily let you go, but now, I'm giving you the latter condition in exchange for three days of time to accompany me for three days, so I won't interfere with you anymore, is this not good?"
Xu Anran's eyes lit up. To Xu Anran, the 'No Intervention' that she had just mentioned sounded like 'No Intervention'.
"Are you serious? You won't go back on your word?" Xu Anran was skeptical.
Guan Jingyi raised his eyebrows, Xu Anran had already extended his hand out, and said: "Pulling the hook is more like it."
Guan Jingyi hooked his thumb at Xu Anran's pinky.
Actually, from the very beginning, Guan Jingyi had never thought of stopping Xu Anran. Now, Guan Jingyi's so-called condition was simply to have a period of beautiful memories before Xu Anran left the country.
The inn Guan Jingyi chose was close to the sea, and the higher ups of the 62nd floor overlooked almost the entire Athens city. It is said that this place is the only place
Athens was the tallest place, closest to the sea of fireworks, as if you could reach out and touch it, closest to the moon in the sky.
The sound of the tide was extremely shocking in the silent night.
As Xu Anran had already slept on the plane, she was exceptionally excited even at night. The two of them went to the hotel and packed up their things.
Seeing that it was a little lonely, she pulled Guan Jingyi over to look at it together.
Guan Jingyi raised his eyebrows and said: "Why don't we go down and take a look, it just happens to be the right time for us to take a walk around.
Xu Anran made up her mind. In the past few days, she would properly be together with Guan Jingyi, would not think about those random things anymore, and would not think about anyone else. It was as if the two of them were the only two people left in the world. The two of them seemed to have the same thought, desperately trying to carve out the marks in each other's memories that were like rings of years.
Xu Anran naturally happily agreed, and especially changed into a red cheongsam, the two of them walked downstairs hand in hand.
The two of them enjoyed the fireworks as they ate something else, a Wellington steak with wine, and a saxophone player blowing affectionately beside them.
"Big brother, big sister is so pretty. Buy a flower for big sister." A little blonde girl with a basket between her chubby arms, and long, thorny, fiery roses in the basket.
Guan Jingyi and Xu Anran looked at each other and laughed.
Guan Jingyi asked: "Aren't beautiful flowers meant for beautiful big sister?"
The little girl nodded.
"But I feel that the beauty of this sister cannot be described as the beauty of a flower. I'll just take all the flowers in your basket and give them to big sister, okay? "
Guan Jingyi put the money in the little girl's basket. The little girl gave the flowers to Guan Jingyi and ran off to find his mother.
Xu Anran was flabbergasted. She took the flowers that Guan Jingyi had given her, and asked the quiet fragrance of the flowers: "How is it that I never knew you could still speak fondly?" It was so pleasant to talk about pleasing a woman to such a man who was not smiling.
Guan Jingyi replied smilingly: "Really? And it's probably the first time I've ever known that I could talk. "
Xu Anran thought in astonishment. After being together with her sister for so many years, it could be that she had never said any romantic words to her.
However, this was only limited to thinking about it. With such a good atmosphere, mentioning her elder sister would at least cause her to feel very awkward.
Xu Anran picked up his red wine cup and finished it in one gulp. She used a napkin to wipe the corner of her mouth and said: "Brother Yi, it's rare to see such a good atmosphere today, we …"
Xu Anran unceremoniously let out a burp.
But Guan Jingyi did not mind, and only said: "Wine is not like this, it is easy to get drunk."
Originally, Guan Jingyi's words were out of concern, but after hearing Xu Anran's ears, it was easy for him to recall that night when she was drunk and made Guan Jingyi stronger.
