Chapter 525 - Li Ruo Nan's boyfriend?
”You really shouldn't be doing this.” Jian Yuan replied, ”I heard from my aunt that you work very hard and often come home in the middle of the night. How can that be okay? Even if you work really hard, your body still won't be able to take it!”
”... ”It's fine, I'm used to it.” Only now did Li Ruo Nan know that Jian Yuan wanted to talk about this.
”It's because you're used to it that scares you!” Jian Yuan said, ”Looks like it's really impossible to have no one by your side to take care of you. Since high school, you have never taken care of yourself … ”Come, I'll take you to eat, you have to listen to me!”
With that, Jian Yuan walked up to her, placed his hand on Li Ruo Nan's shoulder and pulled her out with a smile.
Li Ruo Nan said, ”Let me clean up … …”
Jian Yuan smiled and said, ”Just listen to me today, okay? ”Why, when an old friend came back from abroad, he didn't even look for you and directly came to find you. Why aren't you giving him face?”
Li Ruonian hesitated for a moment, but could only nod: ”Alright then.”
Jian Yuan said, ”That's right. ”Let's go. I haven't eaten a single thing ever since I got off the plane. My stomach is about to deflate from hunger. Is there anything delicious about this Jiang Prefecture that you'd like to recommend?”
Li Ruo Nan said, ”Didn't you grow up in Jiang Prefecture? Don't tell me you're still not familiar with it?”
”You still don't know me?” Jian Yuan smiled and said, ”I've been abroad for the past few years and only now did I come back to find out that the changes in Jiang Prefecture were too great. I don't even recognize the places they were built at, so how could I know where to find good food!”
”Then what do you like to eat?” Li Ruonian asked.
”What, you don't remember my taste?” Jian Yuan smiled as he looked at Li Ruo Nan.
Li Ruo Nan's face was slightly red as she said: ”I don't know how much your taste has changed in the past few years abroad … …”
”Nope.”
Jian Yuan replied, ”Not at all.”
Li Ruo Nan said, ”You weren't used to living in a local place while you were overseas?”
Jian Yuan said, ”How should we put it that way? You must be used to it, because it's not an option even if you're not used to it. No matter how unaccustomed you are, you still have to live, right?”
Li Ruonian nodded, ”That's true.”
Jian Yuan replied, ”That's why my changes abroad were all for the sake of survival. Strictly speaking, I can only say that I adapted to the local life, but deep down, I'm still Chinese. I really miss the taste of China every day.”
Li Ruo Nan pursed her lips and smiled, ”Then, wouldn't it be hard for you to stay outside for a few years?”
Jian Yuan replied, ”It's hard work, but I can't say for sure because after you get used to it, you won't feel too bitter. Also, there's also a Chinese restaurant over there, and its owner is a genuine Chinese person. I also frequently go there, but fortunately I have them.
”Ha ha!”
Li Ruo Nan couldn't hold back her laughter anymore, she pursed her lips and said: ”That means, your life abroad isn't bad?”
But Jian Yuan shook his head again and said, ”Actually... As a man, I think it's better to be a bit more adaptable. Besides, I'm not a very particular person, you know … In fact, the hardest thing to bear in foreign countries is loneliness! ”
”Lonely?” Li Ruonian was stunned.
”That's right.”
Jian Yuan nodded and said, ”When you look outside the country, you will see foreigners with all kinds of skin colors. Those with yellow skin will occasionally be j.a.panese or Koreans. In my city, there aren't many Chinese.”
Li Ruonian asked, ”Aren't you having a good time with foreigners?”
Jian Yuan shook his head and smiled, ”It's too easy to get on good terms with them. However, no matter how good our relations.h.i.+p is, there's not a single person who can be kind to them. Furthermore, the most important thing is that when we are outside, we will miss everything about our family, such as our old friends and everything from before.”
As he spoke, Jian Yuan's gaze fell on Li Ruonian's face, ”There are also bosom friends who can share their hearts. ”A close friend.”
Li Ruo Nan's face reddened a little, and she said unnaturally: ”Oh right, I know of a place where the dishes are especially delicious. It's getting late, we should hurry over, otherwise, there won't be a seat at all … …”
Seeing Li Ruo Nan change the topic, Jian Yuan didn't feel the slightest bit weird. He nodded with a smile and said, ”Alright, but today I can only take your car. I haven't driven in the country for a long time, so I'm still not used to it.”
Li Ruo Nan said, ”What's wrong with that? You're welcome.”
At this moment, the young policeman who had come to call Li Ruonian was a bit surprised. This was the first time he had seen Li Ruonian like this.
Although Li Ruo Nan was very kind to the policemen below, but she also had strict requirements and rarely joked around.
But now, it was rare to see Li Ruo Nan reveal a more feminine side.
”Captain Li's boyfriend?” Suddenly, a voice came from the side. A young policeman who didn't know what was going on came over and asked in a gossipy tone.
”I don't know, but it seems like there's something going on between the two of them.”
”This man is not bad, he has a graceful bearing. Judging by the clothes he's wearing, he's definitely not cheap. I'm guessing he's a rich and handsome man.”
”I've never heard Captain Li say that she has a boyfriend before?”
”Nonsense, could it be that Captain Li has some sort of secret that he wants to tell you?”
