"Hello, Mr. Li, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, is your flight on time, and are you still on the way here?" Molia shook hands with him gently, her blue eyes flashing with curiosity.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Moria, everything is going well and I am honored to set foot on this land. Li Xiaodong thought that her greeting was just out of a simple concern, so he replied easily.

But Molia showed a disappointed expression, and said in a helpless and slightly regretful tone: "My dear Mr. Li Xiaodong, I have to regret to tell you that because of your delay, I had to stay in the hospital and wait for you for more than two hours, I was supposed to attend a grand dinner party, but because of you, my plan fell through." ”

"......" Li Xiaodong didn't expect this Western girl to complain about his tardiness as soon as they met, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he turned his head to look at Aida beside him.

Aida was also a little at a loss, this kind of thing that caused the other party to wait for two hours because of unpunctuality was indeed a faux pas, but Aida knew that it was all because of him, and it was he who delayed Li Xiaodong's trip.

"Ahem, Miss Moria, I'm sorry to have delayed your dinner party, and I apologize to you. Li Xiaodong sighed secretly and bowed slightly, "If you can, I hope to treat you to dinner." ”

Maybe Western girls want to be like Moria, their personalities are very straightforward, and the dissatisfaction comes quickly, but the happy mood also comes quickly. She smiled generously and said, "I'd love to have dinner with you, but you're a guest, so I should invite you......"

After hearing this, Aida on the side suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

When he came out of the hospital building again, it was already dark, and Aida left his contact information with Li Xiaodong's "master" and drove home.

And Li Xiaodong transferred his luggage to Molia's car, and then went to the city with her.

In essence, Molia is an optimistic and cheerful woman, although Li Xiaodong delayed her grand dinner party, Li Xiaodong can see from her smile that she does not really take it to heart.

On the contrary, she seems to have a keen interest in this male assistant from the ancient East.

"Mr. Xiaodong, I have come into contact with a lot of Chinese expatriates in the local area, many of them are young men, they give me the impression that most of them are shy and shy, gentle in character, they generally do not take the initiative to pursue when they meet a charming opposite sex, and they will not even greet them warmly, I want to know, are you like them, not good at words, shy and shy?"

The first time he heard someone ask him this kind of question, Li Xiaodong was embarrassed in his stomach for a long time, and the next moment, he smiled and said: Yes.

Molia asked again, "I also want to know, what is the reason why you don't take the initiative to approach the young and beautiful opposite sex, don't you want to be with beautiful girls?"

Li Xiaodong could only say: "No." ”

Molia said curiously: "What is the reason for that? Can I understand it this way, you Chinese men lack courage and self-confidence, you dare not pursue a foreign girl, maybe you have an inexplicable inferiority complex?"

Faced with such a profound question, Li Xiaodong sweated slightly, he didn't know how to explain the differences in culture and national character, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Miss Molia, in fact, not taking the initiative to approach and pursue a charming woman like you does not mean that Chinese men do not have courage and self-confidence, these are two unrelated issues. ”

Molia shrugged her shoulders slightly, obviously disimpressed by his statement.

The two drove to a nice western restaurant, ordered two good steaks, and continued to chat.

Through this short period of understanding, Li Xiaodong learned that this Miss Molia is from a local upper-class family, according to domestic words, this is an out-and-out rich girl, and a rich girl with good looks, who should be held like a baby.

But the situation abroad is just the opposite, whether it is a rich girl or a good look, Molia has relied on her own part-time job since she entered college, she is not only a dazzling Miss Universe, but also an intern doctor who has just graduated from medicine, and she is also a caring person with ideals and beliefs: the love ambassador of the Red Cross.

In Moria's first impression, Li Xiaodong seemed extremely ordinary, and could even be said to be mediocre.

No matter how handsome the appearance of an Oriental is, she can't see anything in her eyes.

And Li Xiaodong's resume is also quite ordinary, without anything special:

An ordinary member of the Chinese Red Cross Volunteer Association, who had worked as a nurse in a hospital, knew a little about emergency treatment, and knew a little about the local language, so he came here.

Molia understands very well that volunteering is unpaid, and volunteers in troubled areas face all kinds of dangers, and it is rare for a particularly talented person to come here willing to sacrifice himself for others...... There used to be a medical doctor named Lukes, who came from Russia because he admired her looks and felt her call, but it only lasted five weeks, and when Lukes found that Molia seemed to have no interest in him, he finally chose to leave.

Molia understands that it is actually very valuable to have an ordinary Mr. Oriental who is willing to come here to assist her in her work.

She couldn't have asked for more.

After a meal, the two got to know each other a little, and Molia drove him to the place where he lived.

In her words, Chinese men are docile and not aggressive, making it a relatively safe place for a single woman to live.

And Li Xiaodong finally understood why she had such a unique understanding of the Chinese ethnic group, and why she needed an assistant who knew Chinese to assist her in her work, because the place where she lived was a gathering place for Chinese Americans, and most of the people she dealt with all day were Chinese, and she was learning Chinese by herself, and she hoped that in the future, she could go to the ancient eastern country where the rumors were safe and could wander alone at night, and perhaps, she would choose to settle in that country.

"Mr. Xiaodong, since it is already off work when you come, the staff cannot arrange accommodation in time, if you don't mind, you can stay in my apartment. ”

Upstairs in a Chinese supermarket, Molia opened the door and led Li Xiaodong into the slightly humble apartment.
