Lillian's Melaleuca routine

They went to the bookstore in Petersburg, and Ling bought a large bunch of books, and gave all the dozens of books to Sigma with little interest.

They sat on a tank and took a group photo, walked around the streets and watched street performers draw paintings, looked at the bare trees and green corridors made of steel on the promenade of the Summer Palace, took a group photo in front of the Alexander Column, and watched the beautiful beauty Huan’s baroque windows, and the sculptures of prisoners on Happy Island. On the frozen Baltic Sea, like in the corner where the sky and the earth meet, watching the sunlight pass through the ice and leave silhouettes of different shades.

In the past half month, Aya's impression of this city has gradually become clear.

She actually likes the sense of boundaries, like every day, walking through a street corner, a few tall buildings, a bunch of dead trees, bare telephone poles, church domes and bell towers everywhere, it looks like Like freshly painted.

She sat alone in the booth without snow, overlooking the area from high to low.Beside her are only a round stone pier and a statue of a cat.

Compared to Serbia's more empty and run-down streetscapes, Russia feels a little better.Although both look empty and far away, unlike Serbia, which is piled with gray and white brick walls, the buildings in Petersburg are more colorful and more popular.

Although the time is short, it is not worth mentioning compared to all her lives, Aya's impression of Sigma has gradually changed.

Sigma was more alive and real now than he had given her in the first place.

He is not as weak as he looks, nor is he so disciplined. He is unprincipled in some things, but he is stubborn and rigid in some specific goals.

Generally speaking, he is not a qualified leader personality, but he is not suitable to be a subordinate, because his principle is above everything else, and therefore, he may rebel for the principle in his heart at any time.This is fatal to a group, a person who remains the same, in good and bad ways.

It's a pity, just like she said, Aya and Sigma are not the same.

So she doesn't like to have in-depth contact with people of this personality, which means that it is difficult to control.Stubbornness, on the other hand, means a bad finish.In terms of Aya's character of being afraid of trouble, Sigma is not a good option for her, because he is not a personality who is easy to get together and part-time-like Fyodor.

She figured Sigma could be left out of the plan.

In the early morning of this day, Aya was brushing her teeth in the dim sky, and at the same time eliminated a certain option from her mind.

After washing up, she sorted out today's schedule by the way.A certain distinctive character was written on the calendar on the wall, and a huge red exclamation mark indicated that she had something to do today.

She was going to see Fyodor, as he had said a fortnight ago, today was the time for him to come to Petersburg.

A few days ago, he had already told her in a text message.This is one of their few exchanges.

Aya was originally not very happy to sell her time for Fyodor. She is a busy person and doesn't have enough time to play in Petersburg, so she was asked to pick up the airport?

Aya doesn't like to pay for others, but based on the change of attitude with Fyodor before, she decided to reluctantly go to see him.

She dressed casually, carried a small bag, and took the subway to the airport.

Ling knew that Gogol would soon arrive in Petersburg, and he had hinted to her more than once during their chat. Ling just told him frankly that she might not be free, but in the latest chat, she gave Gogol answer in the affirmative.

He and Fyodor were on the same plane, and even the seat numbers on the plane were very close.This was what Fyodor had said casually when they were on the phone.Aya and Fyodor actually have no purpose of chatting. They are not very good at revealing themselves, so they even have very few calls. In the few calls, they usually greet each other and then hang up.

It's just that a few days ago, he asked her abruptly if she wanted to pick him up.

Ling asked about the time and found that he and Gogol happened to be at the same time.The careless she asked bluntly, and Fyodor didn't seem to care, he looked very busy, they said something casually, and quickly hung up the phone.

Of course, Ling still frankly told Gogol that her purpose of picking up the plane was not him.He—Nikolai Gogol was just an incidental target, and Fyodor was her main target.

She was slick and said a lot of sweet words.

As it turned out, Gogol only replied calmly, with his usual playful tone.As for whether he is happy or not, Aya has no time to care.In any case, the result cannot be changed.That's all she cares about Gogol. She has a high degree of self-centeredness, so she will only consider the negative impact of dealing with this issue later.

Besides, Ling has always hoped to keep her relationship with Gogol on a one-period basis. Only in this way can her happiness not deteriorate immediately.Getting along too much will not only lead to the exposure of personality flaws, but also make the relationship unbalanced.

In this respect, Fyodor is really a safe and reliable candidate.Because Aya and he are both very sensible, although they do not match in the way of thinking, they are both people who will put love first.

Ling bought a bottle of drink on the way, empty-handed, and did not bring the connection card, and walked slowly to the pick-up gate.

She ordered it by stepping on it, and when she arrived at the pick-up gate, she happened to encounter a large crowd of people.Ling found a place and leaned against the wall to wait for the people to disperse slowly.She doesn't play with her mobile phone either, and she still has time to look at the people around her.

Aya saw them in the distance.Compared with the crowd around them, they are very eye-catching.Ling waved at them, then walked slowly towards them.

It didn't take long for her to meet the person she wanted to meet.

"Hey! Gentlemen, long time no see!" She greeted, as if they were long-lost friends.

"Long time no see, Lilian." Fyodor seemed quite reserved, and he just nodded slightly to her.

It was Gogol who came over and warmly gave Aya a hug.

"Long time no see! Dear Lillian!"

Aya didn't make a fuss, and gave him a warm hug back, and patted him on the shoulder.

"You look fine," she said. "Is everything done?"

"Almost." Fyodor said only vaguely.

Aya turned her gaze to the next person.

"Sure! Sure! Yes!" Gogol seemed to have resumed his usual slightly exaggerated posture, and he deliberately grinned and said in a surprised tone, "Darling, don't worry, everything is fine, especially me , couldn't be better!"

When he looked over narrowly, Ling and his eyes just happened to meet, Gogol pinched his nose and made a face, winking, as if trying to make her happy on purpose.

Aya didn't laugh out loud, but when she looked at him with a smile, Nikolai Gogol turned his eyes away again. He seemed a little complacent, and the raised eyebrows betrayed him.

"That would be great!" Aya said, "I don't want to get into any more trouble."

The three of them stopped by and walked towards the airport exit together.

Aya walked between the two of them, one on the left and one on the right as if followed by two bodyguards.

"How do you plan to go back?" Ling asked, obviously, she was asking Gogol, "Fei Jia, you should come with me."

She didn't hide her behavior at all, as if it was only natural for the two of them to go back together.

"Isn't he with me?" Gogol asked, "Fei Jia and I are going to drop by. You know, we're going back to the stronghold. But he seems to have something else to do."

He paused for a moment before speaking out his last little abacus.

"Lillian, if you don't mind, can you tell me where you live? I can take you back."

Shake Fyodor off, and drop by for a date with Aya.

Gogol has a strange idea about Fyodor.

On the one hand, he understood that Fyodor was no threat to him.On the other hand, he felt something was wrong.

Fyodor's behavior made him feel a little contradictory. He claimed to know Fyodor a little bit, but he never saw through this person.If there were traces of his purpose of getting close to Aya at the beginning, now he has completely lost his mind.

... In this respect, they are really at odds.

Fyodor had been blocking his path, exploiting his weakness to contain him from the beginning, and now it was beginning to hinder him even more.

Intellectually speaking, there is nothing he can do now.They are colleagues and bosses, and he cannot ruin his image in Ling's heart in vain.

At the beginning, Gogol still had some appreciation for him, but now he just wants to get rid of him and make a quick move.

He calculated with complete calm that the cost of getting rid of Fyodor was too high.But he has plenty of time to wait.

At the same time, he felt confused again.Obviously, there is only one person in this world who makes him feel confused.

He never felt inferior, but he hated Fyodor from the bottom of his heart.

He still felt that Aya was spending too much time with Fyodor.

The corners of Gogol's mouth were still raised, apparently hiding his emotions well.

Seeing that Aya was silent, Gogol still spoke in that cloyingly sweet voice.

"How about it?"

He had no intention of hiding his thoughts.

Aya turned around and glanced at Fyodor, asking what he meant with her eyes.

So far, she still doesn't quite understand the real purpose of this person.Although she had said those things to him, their relationship was even more indescribable now. They were not as close as lovers who talked all kinds of things, but they were not as distant as friends and spoke a little of their heart.

"no need."

Fyodor said, he looked at Gogol with those purple pupils that looked cruel and gentle as always, and said the most ruthless mocking words in a calm and gentle tone, he saw his intention clearly, and mercilessly shattered his illusions.

"I'll go back with Lilian. We'll live together. Gogol, go back to the base first."
