Chapter 78 Farewell
The next day, Zhang Lexing got the scheduled flight ticket from San Francisco to Hong Kong. The flight time was at noon three days later.Zhang Lexing planned to go to Hong Kong to do some business while Xiao Donghai and Wan Lin were busy looking for a house, to find some shortcuts for the company he was about to set up, and then went directly to BJ from Hong Kong.As for the training group and the foreigner trio, after BJ's foothold is found, they will fly directly from San Francisco to BJ under the leadership of Zhan Jun.

During the few days of waiting, Yang Xinxin still seldom talked to Zhang Lexing, and sometimes even refused to say a word when they met in the elevator.This situation lasted until the day before leaving the United States, and Yang Xinxin rarely spoke up.

"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Yang Xinxin said with a hint of sadness.

"Well, the plane at noon tomorrow." Zhang Lexing nodded.

"Brother, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"

In fact, Zhang Lexing and Yang Xinxin seldom go out to eat together. Everyone has their own private life and will not interfere with each other. Over the years, there are only a handful of days when they go out to eat alone.Maybe parting made people melancholy, seeing Yang Xinxin's haggard face, Zhang Lexing couldn't bear to refuse and nodded in agreement.For the next time, Zhang Lexing was absent-mindedly flipping cards and sweeping landmines in the office, waiting for the time to get off work.

Just 2 minutes after the off-duty time, Zhang Lexing had already packed up her things early and came to the corridor, just in time for Yang Xinxin to come out of her office.Today, Yang Xinxin has short shoulder-length hair, wearing a navy blue waist dress, a pair of black half-heeled leather shoes, and a small brown sheepskin bag in her hand. She stands quietly at the door of the office and looks at Zhang Lexing. It squirmed slightly but made no sound.

"Sister Xin, can I go now?" Zhang Lexing took the initiative to ask.

"Yeah." Yang Xinxin nodded slightly.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Zhang Lexing asked.

"Brother, you decide." Yang Xinxin said lightly.

Zhang Lexing thought of the good place Ballmer mentioned yesterday, so he decided to try it out: "I heard from Steve that there is a newly opened Baseli Flo restaurant not far from here. It is said to be a very good French restaurant. You can taste authentic French cuisine, why don't we try it today?"

"You can arrange it today." Yang Xinxin showed a faint smile.

The two walked into the elevator together, and soon came to the parking lot as the elevator descended.The two got into Yang Xinxin's silver Porsche 911 together, turned the ignition key, Yang Xinxin quickly started the car, and drove Zhang Le to the Basili Flo restaurant.

The two of them didn't talk on the road, only the music of NPRadio was playing in the car.The car drove along the road, through a few blocks, and soon arrived at the Basili Flo restaurant.

The restaurant is located on the first floor of the Arakspur Hotel. It has a brass door full of enthusiasm and an extremely luxurious interior decoration. The thick carpet is extremely soft.The waiters in formal attire were waiting at the entrance, and when they saw Zhang Lexing and Yang Xinxin, they greeted them immediately with wide smiles.

"Sir and Miss, how many of you are there?" the waiter asked with a smile on his face.

"Are there any seats left for the two of you?" Zhang Lexing replied.

"Please come with me." The waiter made a gesture, signaling Zhang Lexing and Yang Xinxin to follow.

Passing through the porch, the two followed the waiter to the store. Zhang Lexing looked around while walking.Luxurious crystal chandeliers hang down from the arched roof, and artistic paintings hang on the walls. The interior space is very spacious, with a dozen dining tables covered with snow-white tablecloths scattered around.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two came to a seat by the window and sat on both sides.Delicate plates, knives and forks have been placed on the table, and luxurious goblets stand beside them, and a candlestick covered with a lampshade is flickering with flickering candlelight.

The waiter respectfully handed over the menu, and Zhang Lexing took it and ordered some of Yang Xinxin's favorite dishes, and chose a bottle of 85-year-old Latour red wine.The meal was very dull, because Yang Xinxin was always busy competing with the food, but she didn't want to talk too much. Zhang Lexing said ten sentences, but she answered at most. As a result, Zhang Lexing lost the interest in talking, and a scene that was originally The very emotional dinner turned into a competition between the two to eliminate the food and red wine on the table.

After a hasty dinner, the two got into the car and went home.Along the way, Yang Xinxin remained silent, her white hands quietly steering the steering wheel.Zhang Lexing turned on the radio in boredom, and the singer's hoarse tune came out from it, with bursts of sadness...

When the car came to the villa where the two lived, Yang Xinxin turned the steering wheel and turned a corner, and parked the car in the garage.After turning off the engine and pulling out the key, Yang Xinxin got out of the car with her bag and walked into the house. Zhang Lexing also walked in.When Zhang Lexing entered the room, he found that Yang Xinxin had disappeared, leaving only a small brown sheepskin bag on the sofa.Zhang Lexing walked around the first floor, but found no one. When he was thinking whether to go upstairs to have a look, Yang Xinxin appeared again, with an extra bottle of red wine in his hand. It seems that she went downstairs just now wine cellar.

Putting the red wine on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Yang Xinxin brought two tall wine glasses and said softly, "Brother, can you have another drink with me?"

"Sister Xin, you've already drank a lot tonight."

Yang Xinxin didn't speak. After removing the cork of the red wine, she poured half a glass of wine into each of the two goblets on the tea table. She picked up a glass first, and then looked at Zhang Lexing with anticipation in her eyes.Zhang Lexing sighed, reached out to pick up the remaining glass, Yang Xinxin raised his glass as a signal, and then drank it down in one gulp.

Zhang Lexing took a sip of the wine and advised, "Sister Xin, don't drink so fast, you'll get drunk easily."

"Drunk?" Yang Xinxin smiled wryly, and said melancholy: "It's better to be really drunk, so you don't have to think about it, and you won't be in pain."

Putting down the wine glass, Yang Xinxin added half a glass of wine to it, and drank it down again.Zhang Lexing had no choice but to continue drinking with him.After a few glasses of wine, Yang Xinxin gradually became more talkative, babbling a lot, mostly talking about some things that he had experienced in these years.

Yang Xinxin hasn't had a very happy life these years. In her early years, she made up her mind to come to the United States because of some family matters, and relied on her personal ability to achieve a very successful career here.But as the saying goes, if the career goes well, the mood is frustrated. Yang Xinxin has never been able to find a partner who really satisfies her. She often looks good behind the scenes, and she almost let a playboy in the past two years. He was lied to, and of course Yang Xinxin dealt with this kid well afterwards.But since this incident happened, Yang Xinxin may have given up on men and began to focus on work, and VisualSystem's business has become more prosperous because of this.It seems that she may have forgotten those unpleasant things, but today Zhang Lexing found that she has not forgotten, but is usually deliberately suppressed.

Speaking of later, Yang Xinxin talked about some unsatisfactory things in her family. When she was 14 years old, her mother took her younger brother away. Since then, the family has gradually become restless. Uncle, however, is always at odds with her father because of his position in the family business, and there are often quarrels between the two.At that time, Yang Xinxin still sympathized with her father, but not long after, her father found a new wife who was not much older than her. This made Yang Xinxin unacceptable. She felt that her father was no longer the one she used to be proud of. daddy.A year later, the new mother gave birth to a younger brother. After that, Yang Xinxin found that her position in the family gradually changed, and her father didn't seem to care about her as much as before, so Yang Xinxin seldom went back these years, even on the phone. I can only say a few words with my grandparents and then hang up.

Yang Xinxin began to sob softly while talking, Zhang Lexing patted her shoulder lightly, said some comforting words in his mouth, trying to calm her down, but the effect was not obvious.Suddenly Yang Xinxin hugged Zhang Lexing, and cried out sadly: "Why do you have to leave me, mother is like this, father is like this, now you have to leave..."

Zhang Lexing was nervous and at a loss. It wasn't that he had no experience in hugging a woman before, but that Yang Xinxin, who had always cared about him like a sister, had never done this before, which made him not know where to put his hands for a while.Yang Xinxin hugged Zhang Lexing and cried for a while, then gradually calmed down, and slowly let go of her hand, but she leaned softly on Zhang Lexing's chest.Gently supporting Yang Xinxin, Zhang Lexing found that she had fallen asleep at some point.Holding her carefully, Zhang Lexing walked up the stairs to the second floor, intending to put her on his bed, after all, the two of them might not be able to stand it for a night.

When I entered the room, I only turned on the floor lamp beside the sofa, and the stairs looked very dark. Zhang Lexing couldn't move his hands to turn on the light, so he could only walk up the stairs carefully.After going upstairs, turn left and the last room is Yang Xinxin's bedroom. Gently opened the door, Zhang Lexing carefully put her sleeping on the bed.Yang Xinxin's bedroom is dressed up like a lady, with a pink romantic atmosphere. Looking at the interior decoration that he usually has no chance to see, Zhang Lexing feels more and more that Yang Xinxin's usual strong appearance is probably just to protect herself. camouflage.

Back downstairs, Zhang Lexing took a glass, poured half a glass of boiling water, held it carefully, and came to Yang Xinxin's bedroom again.Yang Xinxin was sleeping very quietly, her eyes were slightly closed, her long eyelashes curled playfully, shining crystal light under the light that leaked in through the cracks in the curtains.Zhang Lexing gently put the water glass on the bedside table, hoping to cool her down when she was thirsty.

At the end of the bed, Zhang Lexing carefully took off the black half-height leather shoes on Yang Xinxin's feet, then turned around and put the leather shoes on the shoe rack by the door, and took a pair of slippers by the bed.Yang Xinxin's legs rubbed against each other a few times, maybe the stockings on her legs made her feel uncomfortable, Zhang Lexing hesitated for a while, then reached out to take off the stockings.The crystal-like jade legs slowly appeared, Zhang Lexing felt his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his face seemed to be a little hot.

Throwing the stockings beside the bed, Zhang Lexing was worried that Yang Xinxin would catch a cold if she slept on the bed like this, so she walked to the other side and lifted the corner of the bed to reveal a little bit, then gently picked up Yang Xinxin and let her go. Then put the quilt on, and finally completed the process that made Zhang Lexing blush and heartbeat.

Zhang Lexing got up and was about to leave, but Yang Xinxin suddenly hugged him from behind and whispered, "Don't leave me, please."

"Sister Xin, you never did this before." Zhang Lexing sighed.

"Brother, I don't mean anything else, I just hope that tonight I can have a warm embrace from a man who won't make me hate it." Yang Xinxin's voice was very clear, and she didn't know if she was really drunk just now .

The thoughts in Zhang Lexing's mind disappeared with Yang Xinxin's words, but it was obviously not suitable to refuse at this time, so he took off his coat and burrowed into the bed.As soon as he lay down, a warm body immediately poured into Zhang Lexing's arms, and his body stiffened suddenly...

In the early morning, when Zhang Lexing was awakened by the sound of birdsong, he felt some soreness in his right arm in a daze. He gently squeezed his sore arm, and was about to close his eyes and continue to lie down for a while, but the end of his nose came Come a familiar aroma.Zhang Lexing suddenly remembered that he was in Yang Xinxin's bedroom on the second floor, and he suddenly woke up.Stretching out his hand to touch it to the side, it was no longer as warm and silky as last night, and he was no longer on the bed.Zhang Lexing straightened up and sat on the bed for a while, reminiscing about last night, but it seemed unreal like a dream, except for Yang Xinxin's words, he couldn't think of any more details.

Getting out of bed and putting on his coat, Zhang Lexing walked out of the bedroom barefoot and walked up the stairs to the living room.Turning around, Zhang Lexing did not find Yang Xinxin's trace, maybe she has gone to work.On the table not far away was a breakfast, which was a simple ham sandwich with a cup of hot milk.Feeling a little hungry, Zhang Lexing came to the dining table and found a note under the glass of milk.Picking it up, it turned out that it was left by Yang Xinxin. The note said: "Brother, I have already gone to work. If you can see this piece of paper, it means you have found breakfast, and you can destroy it immediately. If it is not enough , there is still food in the refrigerator, do it yourself. Don’t forget to catch the plane at noon, I don’t have time to see you off, don’t mind. If you have anything to say, you can write it and paste it on the refrigerator. Also: to Hong Kong There is a paper bag next to your luggage, which is a gift for grandpa, don’t forget to take it with you!" At the end is a smiley face that Yang Xinxin loves most.

"Maybe she's in a better mood now, at least she's smiling." Zhang Lexing was thinking while trying to eliminate the sandwiches and milk.

After breakfast, Zhang Lexing went back to his room to check his luggage again. This time he returned to China for a long time, so he must not forget to bring some important things. By the way, he also took care of the things in his room. After all, some things are not suitable for Yang Xinxin to see. .After being busy for a while, I finally simply packed the suitcase, and finally everything was done.After packing his belongings, Zhang Lexing and several bodyguards drove to San Francisco International Airport, preparing to go to Hong Kong.
