Reborn 1980, Dr. Su became popular in the XNUMXs

Chapter 307 No. 84 Charing Cross Street

I just think the two little buns on my cheeks are too cute and I want to pinch them.

The widened eyes are even cuter, wanting to... kiss.

The person being stared at managed to manage his expression with great difficulty.

Xiaoli didn't have any problem with duplicity. It seemed that she really didn't want it, but it couldn't stop Lu Sinian from becoming more persistent.

Don't be soft-hearted at all.

The next second, Lu Siyoun dropped a bombshell.

"Grandpa said that if this 10% cannot be transferred to you, I will not be allowed to touch any of Lu's business in the future."

Use retreat to advance.

Su Xiaoli stared:? ? ! !
So instead of two men messing around, there are three men, plus Mr. Lu? !

Lu Sinian expressed regret in a serious manner: "If I can't continue working at Lu's, then all the burden will have to fall on you, 100%..."

This sounds like...a threat? ? ?
It's just that the tone has no sense of oppression and is too plain to be true.

Su Xiaoli trembled instinctively, with a big chill.

It felt like I had been stabbed hard unexpectedly.

Lu Sinian glanced at her without leaving a trace and expressed deep sympathy: "For global business... 72 hours a day is not enough..."

Deeply condolences.

For Su Xiaoli who was "tired to death"... it's not impossible to help you.

Su Xiaoli instantly saw Black and White Wuchang waving to her.

Without saying a word, he signed with a snap!
Lu Sinian changed the subject in a second: "You should have a good rest during the holidays. I will take you out shopping."

A trivial matter like transferring 10% of Lu's shares should be forgotten in an instant.

Of course Su Xiaoli was still angry: "I don't want to go shopping!"

Lu Sinian: "No, you want to."

Su Xiaoli:? !
Lu Sinian smiled and took out a map. Several places were marked on it, and the first stop was Charing Cross Street.

Su Xiaoli immediately stopped and started to put on her coat.

All protests turned into immense expectations.

A smile appeared on Lu Sinian's lips.

The little girl looks strong, but she is actually just a child who sits down and eats the candy after being given a piece of candy.

Charing Cross Street is located in the West End of London. Since the 17th century, the West End has gradually become a distribution center for theatrical performances. It is as famous as Broadway and is one of the two major theater centers in the world.

Drama and literature are inseparable. Charing Cross Street has developed dozens of theme bookstores and professional bookstores over the past few hundred years by virtue of its unique geographical advantages.

It has become a well-known second-hand bookstore gathering area.

Together with the banks of the Seine in Paris, Jimbocho in Beijing, and Liulichang in Beijing, it is also known as the world's four major holy places for collectors of old books.

There is also a second-hand bookstore: No. 84 Charing Cross Street - Marks & Company Bookstore, which is world-famous.

He is so famous thanks to his memoir "84 Charing Cross".

It records 20 years of letters between American writer Helen and British businessman Frank.

We have known each other for twenty years, but we are thousands of miles apart.

From then on, "Charing Cross Street" became the code name for Lunden's second-hand bookstore.

"84 Charing Cross Street" has become a secret code among book lovers.

However, the bookstore has been closed since the death of the operator Frank, but this does not hinder its status as a "holy place" in Su Xiaoli's heart.

The heart longs for it.

When he was in Hong Kong Island, Lu Sinian knew that Su Xiaoli liked second-hand bookstores, so he even bought the one on Hong Kong Island and gave it to her directly.

Now that she came to the "Holy Land", Lu Sinian, who had done his homework long ago, would definitely take her to check in.

Lunden is a pilgrimage site for house numbers, including 221B Baker Street in "Sherlock" and No. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's residence... and so on.

Compared with those, Lu Sinian judged that Su Xiaoli would like Charing Cross Street more, so he chose this place as his first stop. The morning fog has dispersed, and the light sunshine is shining.

Lu Sinian didn't drive the Aston Martin, he just wanted to enjoy the comfort and warmth of a slow walk with Su Xiaoli.

After all, she had plenty of time and had just eaten, so Su Xiaoli didn't walk too fast.

More than an hour later, the two reached Charing Cross Street.

Walking slowly, they found No. 84, which had become a cafe, and the two of them did not go in.

Although the old place is still there, the people there have passed away.

I wonder if Su Xiaoli thought of her end, and felt a little sad for a moment.

She touched the outer wall of No. 84 and kissed it gently, leaving a light kiss mark.

"If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Road, kiss it for me. I owe it so much.

(If you happen to pass by 84 Charing Cross Street, please give me a kiss. I owe it a lot.)"

Lu Silian said softly.

This sentence is written at the end of the book.

Su Xiaoli turned her head and smiled lightly at him.

The two continued to walk, and Lu Sinian hesitated several times.

Perhaps the cold and humid climate in England affected his mood, or perhaps Ling Yicheng's entry into the game brought a sense of crisis.

Maybe it was just that Su Xiaoli's gentle kiss just now that touched him.

Just now, he wanted to raise his hand to touch her little face several times, but he endured it.

Suddenly I don't want to be like before, just ignore it and just trick myself into getting by.

But even Lu Sinian himself didn't know what question he wanted to ask.

And if you ask, the result may not be better than what it is now.

Tell her your cherished thoughts, question her, and let her hear a big joke?

And then be rejected, or even humiliated, or simply belittled as worthless?
Lu Sinian's temples twitched.

Whoever he loves, he doesn't want to back out.

I want to "die" happily.

Su Xiaoli seemed to be aware of the fluctuations in Lu Sinian's mood.

She raised her little face and looked sideways at him, her eyes clear.

Just like the time she "made a tree hole" on the road at night in Hong Kong Island, Su Xiaoli was quietly waiting for him to speak first.

Lu Sinian also looked at her quietly for a while.

It's really terrible, these eyes are the most terrible.

He sighed inaudibly, and after a long while, he smiled again and spoke slowly, with a soft voice.

"What do you think is the relationship between the two of them?"

Asking like this always left some dignity for the two of them.

Lu Sinian was referring to writer Helen and bookstore operator Frank, and was also asking Su Xiaoli and himself.

Helen and Frank only corresponded for 20 years but never met each other.

Helen was a book addict. At first, the correspondence was just about buying and selling Helen's favorite old books. Soon after, due to the shortage of supplies in England after the war, Helen mailed a lot of daily necessities and food to bookstores from the United States.

A seemingly insignificant thing is also a rare love.

The content of communication has also expanded from the initial search for books to mutual complaints and gossip. Cute, romantic, ideal, with emotions, opinions, and also love, hate, and separation.

A straightforward, sincere, and free soul from the United States, and a reserved, kind, and respectable gentleman from England.

This relationship, which they had never met before, brought extremely precious and warm joy to both parties.

Unfortunately, it was not until 1970, two years after Frank's death, that Helen came to London, where she had always dreamed.

Baker Street really exists, but 221B Baker Street is a non-existent address. In order to commemorate the detective, people made it a usable address in 1930. Today the address is allocated to the Sherlock Holmes Museum.
