The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 225 Mina

Soft and soothing music played in the coffee shop, Ling Xiao sat in the booth and played with his mobile phone boredly, while paying attention to the crowds in and out of the coffee shop, a black van across the street attracted his attention.

Since the practice, Ling Xiao's memory has improved a lot. Although he can't say that he can't forget it, but for the car that has appeared in his sight several times, and the license plate has been changed several times, Ling Xiao just can't remember it. are difficult.

"Ring ring ring!" Nadia, who was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, pushed open the store door and walked in. Ling Xiao quickly raised his arm to signal his position, and Nadia smiled and walked over: "How about it, wait It's been a long time!"

"No, I just arrived too!" Ling Xiao still had this bit of gentlemanly demeanor, women were born with the privilege of being late.

"Oh, then you're late!" Nadia put the brown leather bag in her hand on the side of the table near the window, and said with a smile: "It's been half an hour since the time we agreed on, if you just If you arrive, it will be considered late, and you will have to pay for today's coffee!"

"No problem!" Ling Xiao's expression was very indifferent. It was just a little coffee money. He wanted to see why Nadia Pym came to find him.

Stirring the coffee in his hand, Nadia said casually, "Ling, I heard that you don't plan to continue your graduate studies with Professor Gao Bai?"

"You are very well informed!" Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said with a light smile, "It's not that I don't plan to study as a graduate student of Professor Gao Bai, but I just want to slow down for a while, and come back to continue my studies in the second half of the year."

"Really?" Nadia obviously wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say when it came to her mouth.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me, Nadia, I don't think you asked me out today just to drink coffee!" Ling Xiao looked up at Nadia, and asked very directly.

"Let's put it this way." Nadia put down the spoon in her hand, looked at Ling Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "Ling, I originally wanted to invite you to visit my father's because you didn't plan to continue your master's degree. I went to work with Mu Technology, but now you have other things, so I don't know how to speak for a while."

"So it's this one!" Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew why Nadia invited him.

Nadia didn't know when she knew the identity of her father Ant-Man, and wanted his father to pass on the Ant-Man suit to herself, but for some reason, Dr. Pym didn't pass on the Ant-Man suit to her. Therefore, Nadia simply joined forces with the CEO of the industry secretly, and wanted to create a set of Ant-Man battle suits by himself.

But Dr. Pim's particles, the key to making the Ant-Man suit, have always been in the hands of Dr. Pym, and Nadia's research has not progressed, so she turned her idea on Ling Xiao.

If it was before, Ling Xiao might have agreed, but now the most important thing for him is to break through the innate realm, and everything else has to be in the back row, so he can only shrug helplessly , Said: "I'm really sorry, Nadia, even if I have no personal affairs, I'm afraid I can't agree to your invitation. I still have a contract with Stark Industries."

"Oh!" Nadia frowned and said, "I remember you are not only Miss Potts' personal doctor?"

"No!" Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "I also participated in a top-secret project of Stark Industries as a researcher. Professor Gao Bai knew about it, so I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, forget it, I hope you can give us some more suggestions!" Nadia Pim sighed helplessly, and she only knew that Ling Xiao had a set from the East by accident. Special armor, I hope to get some breakthrough suggestions from him. Now it seems that he is very sensitive to this matter. He said "something" on the left and "top secret" on the right. Obviously he didn't want to have a deep talk with her.

The two casually chatted a few more things about the school, and Nadia Pym took the initiative to leave.

Ling Xiao looked at the back of her leaving, and shook his head slightly. It's not the best time to intervene in the matter of Pym Particles, so it's better to let it go first.

After the dissertation defense was over, all that was left was to wait for the graduation ceremony two days later, so after separating from Nadia, Ling Xiao returned to his family's pharmacy with his packed things.

At noon, there were not many customers in the pharmacy. Ling Xiao looked at Gan Jing in a teahouse with some surprises, joking and chatting with a blond girl. Seeing Ling Xiao coming back, Gan Jing quickly stood up and walked over to hold Ling Xiao's arm introduced to him: "Ling, this is my junior girl Mina, Mina has been admitted to my tutor's graduate school, and will be enrolled at the end of August, the tutor asked me to take her to help familiarize yourself with the situation in Los Angeles .”

After finishing speaking, Gan Jing said to Mina Tangde again: "Mina, this is my boyfriend Ling."

"Hello, Mr. Ling!" Mina Tangde reached out to shake hands with Ling Xiao, and at the same time said with a smile: "I just came from Poland, and I am not familiar with everything. I may have to trouble Senior Gan Jing for a while."

"It's okay, as long as I can help you." Ling Xiao smiled slightly, thinking to himself that he is from Poland, no wonder there are some calluses on his thumb.

After accompanying Gan Jing and Mina for a few words, Ling Xiao went up to the second floor by himself under the pretext of having something to do.

Mina Tangde narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Ling Xiao's back going upstairs.

When I was having dinner at night, I hurriedly said to Ling Xiao suddenly: "Ling, I want to hold a graduation celebration for you, what do you think?"

"Graduation celebration?" Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, looking at Gan Jing and asked in confusion: "What kind of graduation celebration are you doing, it's just a normal college graduation, and the school will hold a graduation party the night after tomorrow , do we need to do it alone?"

"Not the school, I'm talking about the friends you met outside the school, Chang Xi and her brother Chang Kuan, Mr. James Dean, and Officer Kate Beckett, Miss Michaela Baines." Gan Jing brushed his hair and said, "There are also some friends of mine, I want them to get to know you too."

Ling Xiao understood that Gan Jing wanted to get acquainted with Ling Xiao's circle of friends, and there might not be some small thoughts of hers in it.

"Okay, everything is up to you." Ling Xiao shook Gan Jing's hand and nodded with some pity.

In the past few years in Los Angeles, Gan Jing spent more time at the pharmacy than she did at school, which also caused her to rarely have personal social activities. Now that Ling Xiao has graduated, she wants to know It is quite normal to check his circle of friends.

However, Gan Jing did not tell Ling Xiao the truth. This idea was not her own, but it was brought up by the other party inadvertently after the new acquaintance Mina Tangde, and Gan Jing also felt that it made sense. It's time to let Ling Xiao's friends know of her existence.

Two days later, Ling Xiao successfully obtained his graduation certificate. Seeing himself smiling happily in the graduation photo, he shook his head slightly.

The private dinner held by Ling Xiao was on the second night at his own seaside villa. On the school side, he only invited his roommate Jason, in addition to Chang Xi and her who were on summer vacation at the same time. Brother Chang Kuan, stockbroker Mr. James Dean, Kate Beckett and Michaela Baines, others such as Qin Ming and Holly Robinson, Ling Xiao didn't even contact him at all. .

These are all interpersonal relationships that Ling Xiao can show on the bright side. The others are either because of their special identities or awkward relationships, and it is not easy to come forward to attend Ling Xiao's ordinary gathering if they don't have time.
