Be green tea in a British noble school

At 08:30 in the morning, Shanchu was woken up by a phone call.

With a bit of waking up, he held up the phone with a grim expression, his sleepy eyes narrowed due to the stimulation of the light on the phone screen, and he could vaguely see that the call was from Shi Xiaonai in his hazy vision.

Shan Chu thought: This must be that idiot's version of Shi Xiao Nai.

The handsome version of Shi Xiaonai can't do the bad thing of calling early in the morning.

Shan Chu dialed the handset: "Hello? Mr. Shi?"

Shi Xiaonai's voice came through the phone's microphone: "Why don't you sue me?"

Shan Chu: It really is that stupid one.

"Ah, didn't you send a lawyer's letter?" Shanchu said perfunctorily.

Shi Xiaonai was very dissatisfied: "So what about the lawyer's letter? There is no formal prosecution. You are only thundering but not raining!"

"I've been busy preparing for the exam recently." Shanchu continued to perfunctory, "Master Shi, trust me, I really want to sue you sincerely, but I'm too busy applying for schools, and I can't get away for a while."

Shi Xiaonai was silent for a while before asking: "Do you want to apply for Oxford or Cambridge?"

Shanchu thought to himself: Why is everyone now acquiescing to either Oxford or Cambridge?

But thinking about it carefully, with Shi Xiaonai's pride, he would probably say "there is no famous school other than Oxbridge".

Shanchu said lightly, "Cambridge."

Shi Xiaonai said, "Which college do you want to go to?"

"I'm still thinking about it." Shanchu said, "I don't need to worry about it."

Shi Xiaonai's voice became a little sharper: "Who is going to bother about you? You are being passionate!"

Shanchu: ...

After a while, Shi Xiaonai said again: "I just don't want you to be affected by other things and delay the progress of filing the lawsuit."

"Are you in a hurry?" Shanchu asked, "If you're not in a hurry, wait until the summer vacation is over?"

"Okay, don't fool me again." After Shi Xiaonai finished speaking, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

And Shan Chu was really fooling Shi Xiaonai.

Shan Chu suspects that this stupid version of Shi Xiaonai likes him, but it is only suspicion.And he has no desire to investigate.

If we talk about the smart version of Shi Xiaonai, Shanchu is still interested in playing around and playing games.And this idiot's version doesn't whet Shanchu's appetite at all.

After Shanchu hung up the phone, he simply washed up and got up.

After a while, the phone displays new information:

【Shi Xiaonai: Is it convenient to answer the phone now? 】

Shan Chu thought: The one who is so polite must be the smarter version.

Shan Chu ignored it, and broke an egg first, made himself a breakfast, ate it slowly, went back to the bedroom, played two games, yawned, and then remembered that Shi Xiaonai should still be waiting for his reply Woolen cloth.

He replied ok.

Not long after, Shi Xiaonai's phone call came.

Shanchu picked up the phone and said, "What are you doing calling so early in the morning? Apologizing for your brother's reckless behavior?"

Shi Xiaonai smiled: "Is it such a simple temptation?"

"Trying what?" Shanchu pretended to be stupid.

"Try to see if we are twins." Shi Xiaonai said with a smile.

"Then I won't try," Shanchu pouted, "I'll just ask, are you twins?"

"No." Shi Xiaonai also answered directly.

Shan Chu actually didn't think so, even if they were twins, it was impossible to be exactly the same from appearance to voice.Not to mention, he had never heard of Shi Xiaonai having a brother.

So it can only be... dual personality?

Shanchu asked: "So which one of you is the master personality?"

Instead of asking "Are you a dual personality", but directly asking "Which of you is the master personality", it is a common green tea speech technique.

For example, Green Tea will not ask "Do you have a girlfriend", but "Your girlfriend should be very happy", and so on.It is to hide the information you really want to ask in the premise of the question instead of asking it as a question.

This kind of speech sounds tortuous, but it is actually very straightforward, just like Shanchu did not ask "Is that your brother who just called?" but asked "Are you sorry for your brother's reckless behavior?"

Since this is the smart version of Shi Xiaonai, he should be able to see the trap set in Shanchu's question at a glance.

Shan Chu doesn't intend to hide it, it depends on whether Shi Xiaonai will step into the trap by himself.

Shi Xiaonai chuckled lightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you..."

Shan Chu interrupted: "Come on, in the adult world, 'I don't want to' is equal to 'I just don't want to'."

But Shi Xiaonai turned around: "I just want to keep some mystery. Otherwise, you will get tired of me very quickly."

This sentence has some meaning, and it is also very accurate in judging Shan Chu.

Shan Chu really gets bored easily, and I don't know what's wrong with it.Therefore, in his 30 years of life, he has raised countless fish with the method of green tea, but he has never been able to establish a romantic relationship.

He knew that it wasn't that those men had any problems, the fish he could fancy were basically good fish, and there were no major problems.The problem is himself.

He was always delighted when he saw a beautiful fish. He caught it and raised it in the fish pond for a few days, then lost interest, and finally put the fish back into the sea.And he himself continued to fish, day after day.

Shan Chu began to recall what fish he had caught, as if there were...

Young and handsome faces ran past my mind like a revolving lantern, but...

However, he paused, always feeling that he was missing something.

It's like forgetting the all-important fish.

But it shouldn't be, if it's an ordinary fish, he'll just forget it.If it was an important fish, how could he forget it?

……

Shi Xiaonai's voice sounded again: "Hello? Are you still listening?"

Only then did Shan Chu recover from his contemplation, and suddenly found that he lost his mind while chatting with Shi Xiaonai.

"I'm sorry," Shanchu said lightly in response, "I'm listening, but the signal was not good just now. I didn't hear it very clearly..."

Green Tea can't admit that he was distracted, so he can only shift the responsibility to the signal.

Shi Xiaonai didn't delve too deeply into it, and said with a smile: "There will be a charity dinner in the Crystal Palace in three days, it would be great if you could accompany me."

"Really?" Shanchu showed a lack of interest.

As green tea, you can't agree to every invitation.

Shi Xiaonai said, "There will be what you want there."

Shanchu said: "How are you sure? Sometimes even I don't know what I want."

"But I know." Shi Xiaonai's voice carried a determined smile.

Shanchu didn't take it seriously.

After the call, Shanchu received an email from Shi Xiaonai, which contained a picture.

Seeing the picture, Shanchu's pupils dilated.

The picture is a graphic introduction to an auction item of the charity dinner, which is a 55-carat emerald-cut aquamarine and diamond ring.

To say that aquamarine is not particularly valuable, although it weighs 55 carats, the estimated value will not exceed $[-].However, for Shanchu, this ring is priceless and meaningful.

This is one of the good mother's relics.

How did her relic end up at a charity auction?

The reason is simple and bloody.

After the death of the good mother, Jiao Jiao, as a follow-up, was very upset when she saw the things left by the old mistress.She smiled and said, "I heard that Mrs. Shan likes to do charity work the most, so I might as well donate them all."

So Jiao Jiao took care of all the clothes, hats and jewelry of the good mother.

But as far as Shanchu knew, what Jiao Jiao donated was only less valuable semi-precious stones like aquamarine and some old clothes, but she took all the really expensive jewelry.

Of course, the 15-year-old Shanchu still didn't understand so many key points. He just thought that Jiao Jiao really donated all the gems, so he yelled and turned the family upside down, which only increased his father's annoyance.

After Shanchu grew up, he liked to fly around the world, participate in various auctions, and recycle the belongings of his good mother one by one, which almost became his habit.

He also hired a special person to collect relevant information, so that he could carry out recycling in a targeted manner.

Now, the aquamarine ring of the good mother reappeared in front of her eyes, of course Shan Chu couldn't let it go.

But Shan Chu felt extremely strange: How did Shi Xiao Nai know that I wanted this ring?

Thinking of Shi Xiaonai confidently saying "there is what you want", Shan Chu frowned even more: How did he know?How could he be so sure?

Shi Xiaonai also sent the email, as if she was sure that Shanchu would be interested.

Shan Chu looked at his phone and found that Shi Xiaonai had sent another message: 【Come together? 】

Shi Xiaonai's attitude that seemed to be in control of everything caused Shanchu's resistance inexplicably.

As a green tea, Shanchu really doesn't like the feeling that the initiative is taken away.And Shi Xiaonai's determined attitude also made Shanchu uncomfortable.

Shanchu buckled the phone face down, raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling, thinking about countermeasures.

He must take pictures of the relics of his deceased mother.Although he doesn't have much money in his account now, it's more than enough to buy this low-value aquamarine ring.

Before that, though, he had to get an invitation to a charity dinner.

Shi Xiaonai is naturally willing to take Shanchu there, but seeing Shi Xiaonai's posture now, he is waiting for Shanchu to beg him.

The face of Earl Gray flashed before Shanchu's eyes.

Lord Grey, he could...

Counting it, Shanchu has been hanging out with Earl Gray for a long time.

Shan Chu felt that the heat was about the same, otherwise it might be really cold after hanging out.

He picked up his cell phone and called Earl Gray.

The phone beeped a few times before it was connected.

Earl Gray said in a deep voice, "Good day, Shanchu."

Hearing the word "Shan Chu" in a gentle manner, Shan Chu's mind flickered, only to realize that he hadn't heard Earl Gray's voice for a long time.But after careful calculation, it was only half a month.

Shan Chu replied: "Hello, Earl Gray, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"

"I'm already answering the phone." Earl Gray replied with a smile in his voice.

Shan Chu was silent for two seconds, and the other party was also silent, like the sound of a train whistle coming through the radio waves, very distant.

"Is the sound of the train over there?" Shanchu asked, "Are you traveling?"

"Yes, I am in Paris," replied Earl Grey.

Shan Chu's mind flashed: If I remember correctly, Zhefu was killed in Paris.

Shanchu's lips seemed a little dry.

"Shanchu?" Earl Gray asked.

Shanchu recovered and stabilized his voice: "Have you been to Paris? Oh, how long have you been there? I didn't disturb your travel, did I?"

"I've just been there for a week." Earl Gray replied, "It's not to do something pleasant, and it's good to hear your voice."

Shan Chu's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Shi Xiaonai's words again: Earl Gray killed Zeff? !

No way, no way...

Shanchu cleared his throat and said, "Oh, so..."

"Is there a problem?"

Earl Gray's voice was very gentle, and his tone didn't sound like a murderer at all.

Shan Chu suppressed the impetuous emotions, and said in a steady voice: "That's right, I want to ask if you can help me get an invitation letter for a charity dinner in the Crystal Palace in three days' time? If possible, I will definitely Thank you very much."

"It shouldn't be a big problem." Earl Gray said, "I'll let Nina contact you."

"Thank you." Shanchu said.

Earl Gray paused and said, "Why do you want to go to this auction so much? Is there any auction item you fancy?"

"Ah, I'm just bored and want to join in the fun." Shan Chu didn't tell the truth.

"Well, you go on behalf of the Gray Foundation." Earl Gray said, "Shoot anything in the name of the Gray Foundation, and let them send the bill to me when the time comes."

Shanchu thought to himself: What do you mean, this is giving money for me to spend?

Men show their favor, but they can't do those tricks, send messages to chat about coquettish, send gifts and spend money.

Men like Earl Gray would not take the initiative to send messages to chat,? But they are willing to spend money.

However, Earl Gray didn't say clearly, "I'll pay for what I'm interested in", and only used the Gray Fund as a raft, saying, "You shoot something on behalf of the Gray Fund", which seemed neither close nor distant.

Shan Chu laughed and said, "Let me make up my mind?"

Earl Gray said, "Anything you like, you can shoot."

Shan Chu raised his eyebrows: "I'll shoot it when I see it?"

"Yes, you have a good eye, I can trust you." Earl Gray replied.

Shan Chu thought: Old men are boring.

Shan Chu deliberately said in a youthful tone: "Ah? How much money can I spend?"

"Of course not." Earl Gray said, "There must be a bottom line in everything."

Shanchu thought it was funny, and asked, "What's the bottom line?"

"Don't let the Gray Fund go bankrupt." After Earl Gray finished speaking, he paused and added, "It's best not to."

Shanchu is silent: ...

Earl Gray misunderstood his silence, and said again: "If it is really exceeded, it is not impossible to discuss."

Shan Chu: ...This is your bottom line?
