Chapter 420: See You Again (Part II)
"It's weird! I remember seeing this man for the first time. Although he heard his fiancée say that she had strange feelings about another man, Liu Jincheng did not show any dissatisfaction, he just frowned, and mentioned his fiancée: "Could it be a relative or friend of your Dong family?" After all, your Dong family is also a scholarly family in China, and there should always be such a person with outstanding temperament among relatives and friends. If this person is the one you met as a child, you may only have a vague impression now, and it is not surprising to have this sense of déjà vu. ”
"When you were a child?" Dong Guanqing hesitated for a moment, recalling the past in his mind.
At this moment, a man suddenly stood at their table and said, "Can I sit down?"
In the West, under normal circumstances, someone sitting at a table will not ask to sit in it, but hearing that this person is speaking Huaxia, the two are not too surprised, after all, it is a very common behavior in Huaxia to share a table.
Dong Guanqing raised her head and was about to agree to sit with this Chinese compatriot, but when she saw that the person who came turned out to be the middle-aged Chinese she had seen in the church, she couldn't help but be stunned, and Liu Jincheng on the side also looked at the person in surprise. Compared to the somewhat dimly lit church, the bright dining car clearly allowed them to see more clearly. I saw that the appearance of the person in front of him was much younger than he felt, with slightly thin cheeks and a clear temperament that made him look only in his twenties at first glance, but the vicissitudes of life between his eyebrows made him feel that his age was decades older than his appearance. Dong Guanqing hadn't noticed it yet, but Liu Jincheng felt that the person in front of him and his fiancée had a lot of similarities in facial features, demeanor, and so on.
This person did not wait for Dong Guanqing and his wife to agree, sat down, and introduced himself with a smile: "Good morning, two! ”
Since Dong Guanqing left San Francisco, Xu Changqing has been following him, although he has wanted to come forward to contact his daughter many times, but the courage he just mustered was inexplicably dispelled by his nervousness. Obviously, it was not the first time he had seen his daughter, but during this period of time, he even felt that it was more difficult to say a word to his daughter than to deduce the Taiqing Ancient Array in the Dao Heart Realm, this kind of anxious feeling was something he had never felt, and even went beyond the scope of the Immortal Dao Law, which directly affected his mind. It wasn't until he was in the church that Dong Guanqing noticed his gaze and frequently looked back at him. Seeing the puzzled look on his daughter's face, he couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he was a child, and that's when he mustered up his courage.
Regarding Xu Changqing's rash move of sitting down and greeting, Dong Guanqing and his wife did not have anything unusual. They felt that this was natural, but the bodyguards on the side felt that it was a threat and wanted to lean over and protect Dong Guanqing and his wife closely. But to their horror, their bodies were all immobilized as if they had been spelled, and even the expressions on their faces could not change.
Dong Guanqing naturally responded: "Hello! My name is Dong Guanqing, and this is my fiancé Liu Jincheng." ”
"I know you, two of San Francisco's most talked-about people right now, you're leaving San Francisco. I just want to avoid right and wrong at that time!" Before the contact, Xu Changqing still felt very nervous, but after the contact, the tension disappeared quickly, he turned his head very naturally, looked Liu Jincheng up and down, and said: "The appearance is ordinary, the official character is modest, and there is no catastrophe and great fortune, although it is not a good life." But it is also better than the word peace. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Dong Guanqing and said, "For you, it's a good match." ”
"Mr. Xu can look at faces?" Liu Jincheng looked at Xu Changqing curiously and asked.
"A little bit of it. Xu Changqing didn't seem interested in talking to Liu Jincheng anymore, so he just replied perfunctorily, then turned his head to look at Dong Guanqing, and asked with a smile: "Guanqing, can I call you that?"
Xu Changqing's demeanor can be regarded as very rude, but Dong Guanqing didn't feel unusual, and he didn't think much about it, nodded slightly, and agreed, but Liu Jincheng's face showed a little displeasure.
Liu Jincheng's face was not at all concerned by Xu Changqing, he always looked at Dong Guanqing, and said with a smile: "I heard that Guanqing is a lecturer in the Department of Eastern and Western Classics at San Francisco State University, can you tell me about the things you teach?" I would like to hear it. ”
Xu Changqing's request made Dong Guanqing and his wife stunned for a moment, in fact, from just now, both husband and wife invariably felt that Xu Changqing approached them for a purpose. The difference is that Liu Jincheng thinks that Xu Changqing may be doing business with a business group that already belongs to Dong Guanqing, while Dong Guanqing thinks that Xu Changqing is not for any profit purpose, but he can't guess what his ultimate goal is. So when they heard Xu Changqing's request, both of them were a little surprised, and soon felt that this might be Xu Changqing's trick.
Just when Liu Jincheng was about to refuse for his wife, Dong Guanqing stopped him, nodded at Xu Changqing, and asked, "If Mr. Xu is not boring, I am willing to give a lecture on this train." ”
"It's still a long way from here to San Francisco, so instead of sitting in a carriage, you might as well listen to the lessons of your rare beautiful professor. And it's a pleasure to listen to your lectures. How can it be boring?" Xu Changqing rarely said such words that were almost flattering, not only did he speak very bluntly, but even Dong Guanqing and Liu Jincheng beside him sounded very weird.
Dong Guanqing smiled indifferently, didn't say anything, and casually chose an article about the content he taught in a university class, and briefly talked about the commonalities and differences between Eastern and Western literature. Originally, she didn't think about going too deep and explaining the classics in too much detail. But when she finished speaking, Xu Changqing immediately relied on the literary arguments mentioned in her words. After talking about his own ideas, and then talking specifically about a certain type of literature, the content of which is very unique and innovative.
In this way, the conversation that was supposed to be Dong Guanqing singing a one-man show turned into a small discussion meeting, and even Liu Jincheng, who didn't want to intervene on the side, was attracted to join the discussion. As the conversation deepened, Dong Guanqing and his wife gradually felt that Xu Changqing's profound and complicated knowledge seemed to know everything, but he was not proficient in anything, but every time he was able to get to the point and put forward novel ideas. It is open to the mind and beneficial.
Under this kind of warm conversation, time passed quickly, and Dong Guanqing and his wife did not notice that they had been sitting in the train restaurant for nearly ten hours, and they did not feel that their bodies were gradually becoming healthier and stronger under the subtle change. The fatigue of their overnight journey also disappeared unconsciously, and was replaced by an extraordinarily vigorous spirit, as if they had been given a shot in the arm. They who had been concentrating on the conversation did not notice that ten hours had passed, except for a few of them, no one else in the carriage had entered, and even the waiter and the bodyguards of the dining car had left unconsciously, only the three of them sat in the dining car and talked happily.
