Be green tea in a British noble school

29 years old is a very mysterious number.

The "nine" of 29 is like the "nine" of "nine dollars nine".

Obviously, nine yuan and ten yuan are rounded to the same number, but consumers see "nine yuan and nine" and feel that it is much cheaper than ten yuan.

And 29 and [-] seem to be from two regions.

"Xiao Chu, you are already 29 years old...don't you plan to settle down yet?" Grandma said earnestly.

She's always worried about Shanchu's affairs.

In her eyes, the poor 16-year-old Shanchu who dropped out of school due to depression and the 29-year-old Shanchu who is now in charge of the Sun Group are both a child.

16-year-old Shanchu is a 16-year-old child.

29-year-old Shanchu is a 29-year-old child.

No matter how old you are, you are always grandma's little heart.

Shanchu is a person with a strong sense of boundaries, and he doesn't like others to dictate his affairs.

A while ago, an old man who relied on the old to sell the old also advised him, "You are 29 years old and you should find someone." Shanchu rolled his eyes and said, "Then you are 79 years old, you should find a cemetery?"

The old man was so angry that he almost went straight to the cemetery.

However, Shanchu would not run on grandma like this.

Mrs. Ding was the one who helped him in his desperate situation, and he was always grateful.

He smiled and began to fool Dafa: "Isn't it?"

The old lady snorted: "You know that too? Then why don't you bring someone home for me to see?"

He fooled: "Hurry up, hurry up."

The old lady said: "Don't you think I really don't know? You've been going to the UK recently, and people from the UK are also coming to you. Can you not accept foreign devils?"

A thunder flashed by the window.

Shan Chu suddenly woke up from the bed and opened his eyes.

He took a deep breath, looked around and found himself in a host family.

Wiping the sweat off his brow, he walked to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror—a 17-year-old face.

He took a deep breath and found something strange: since he was reborn, he hadn't had a dream.

Why did I suddenly dream about something from my previous life today?

Shan Chu frowned.

He dreamed about the events of his previous life. In his previous life, when he was 29 years old, his grandmother urged him to take someone home, and he said something about British foreign devils...

What British foreign devil?

Shanchu wiped the sweat off his forehead: Since when did I raise foreign fish?

Why can't I remember?

The land of China is vast, rich in natural resources, rich in natural resources, can't the five lakes and the four seas satisfy me?Is my fish farming going out of Asia and going international?

Dinglingling—the phone rang suddenly.

Shan Chu was taken aback, and the screen of the mobile phone emitted a dazzling light.

Who would call themselves at this time?

Shanchu looked at the bedside table and found that it was an unknown call.

When the phone was connected, the voice of the young man on the other end was rustling, like the rustling of leaves in the evening wind: "Hello, Shanchu, do you still remember me?"

"It's you." Shanchu said, "I remember, you are... Dr. You?"

It's You Nian.

Shan Chu remembered that he met You Nian at the masked ball, thinking that this friendship could be worth [-] million yuan, so he exchanged contact information with You Nian.

However, Shan Chu only got You Nian's business card and forgot to save the number in the phone, so when You Nian called, the phone displayed "unknown call".

According to the habits of Westerners, if the other party is a doctor, you can't call him "Mr." (Mr.), you have to call him "Dr." (dr.).

Shanchu respectfully called him: "Dr. You..."

"Just call me You Nian." You Nian said in Chinese.

Shanchu didn't expect You Nian to speak Chinese so well, but after thinking about it carefully, You Nian is of Chinese descent and a gifted child, so it shouldn't be difficult to speak Chinese well.

You Nian suddenly called, which surprised Shanchu.

Shan Chu asked, "Okay, You Nian. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Yes." You Nian said, "You took a picture of a vase at the ball last night, and I like it very much, can I give it up? Of course, I'm willing to pay more."

Shanchu remembered that he had indeed photographed a piece of porcelain on behalf of the Gray Foundation at the party.If Shanchu took the picture himself, he is of course willing to transfer it to You Nian, and the transfer is free of charge, but now that this piece of porcelain is recorded in the name of the Gray Foundation, it is a bit difficult to handle.

But if you think about it, it's not hard to do.

Seeing what Earl Gray meant, asking Shanchu to buy things in the name of the Gray Foundation was to let Shanchu spend Earl Gray's money openly.

Presumably Earl Gray would not mind Shanchu borrowing flowers to worship Buddha.

But Shanchu didn't want to agree too readily.

He hesitated for a while before saying, "If you like it, of course I'd like the beauty of adults. But I didn't buy this one personally, I just represent the Gray Fund... In fact, its ownership now belongs to the fund."

"Is that so?" You Nian's voice was flat, and it didn't sound like he was disappointed.

Shanchu originally wanted to implement the "push and pull" method of green tea. When asked for help, he first pretended to say "this matter is not easy to handle" to frustrate the other party, and then said "but I can help you." Surprise the other person.

However, You Nian didn't seem too disappointed, as if asking casually.

But Shanchu continued to play this strategy: "However, since Senior You Nian likes it so much..."

"I don't like it that much either," You Nian said, "If I really liked it, I would have filmed it last night."

Shanchu: ...

You Nian's voice was flat: "If it really doesn't work, forget it. I'm just asking casually."

Shanchu: ...Day.

However, in Shanchu's eyes, You Nian is now "a real [-] million, a potential [-] billion".He is naturally extremely friendly and enthusiastic towards You Nian.

Shan Chu said with a smile in his voice: "Since you like it, I think it should be possible. How about this, I will ask for you, and I don't know if it can be done. If it is done, there is no need to do it." If you pay more, you can treat me to a meal, okay?"

"It should." You Nian said, "Excuse me."

The weather is getting hotter.

The weather in the UK is rarely this hot.

Therefore, most British people don't even have air conditioners in their homes, and they don't even have fans.It's usually fine, but this year is a rare hot summer (for the UK), with the temperature reaching 30 degrees Celsius, which is quite rare in the UK.

It is even more miserable in houses without air-conditioning and fans.

The host family where Shanchu lived did not have air-conditioning or fans.

During the day, he could still go out for a walk, but at night he was too hot to sleep.

Shan Chu took out the ice cream from the refrigerator, scooped a large spoonful, sat on the bed and blew a mouthful of cool air, his mouth was icy, but his body was still quite hot.

The usual soft mattress has also become hideous due to the heat.

Shan Chu kicked the mattress under his feet and leaned his head against the window.

At this time, the phone rang.

Shan Chu glanced at it, it was Earl Gray's call.

He was suddenly a little surprised, mixed with a little joy: This is the first time Earl Gray has called me on his own initiative, right?

The scene of the two kissing on the clock tower last night seemed to flash before their eyes again.

Shan Chu felt a little complicated: Although the two kissed, it seemed like nothing happened afterwards.

Shan Chu would not take the initiative to ask him: "What does this kiss mean?"

This is not in line with the style of green tea.Green tea will not ask "what do you mean", green tea has always been the one that makes the other party ask themselves "what do you mean".

What's more, Shanchu is prone to anxiety and hesitation in intimate relationships, the more he cares about the questions in his heart, the more he can't ask them.

He squinted his eyes and picked up the phone: "Hello, Eden, what can I do for you?"

This is a subtle temptation.

He stopped calling Lord Gray Lord Gray, he called him by his first name.

He still remembered Earl Grey's full name: Eden William Devall.

After Earl Gray heard "Eden", he was silent for a moment.

Shan Chu didn't know how to interpret this moment of silence, so he said, "I'm sorry, I should call you Count, shouldn't I?"

"No," said Lord Grey, "only people who don't know me well call me Eden back. They don't know that people who know me call me my middle name."

Shan Chu chuckled: "I'm afraid I just don't know you well and seem close to you."

Saying that, Shan Chu said: "Your middle name is...William? Is that right?"

"Yes, but William is too out of touch. People close to him call me Will directly." Earl Gray said, "You can call me Will."

Shan Chu thought for a while and asked, "Who called you Will?"

"My mother," said Lord Grey.

"Is it only her?" Shanchu wondered, "Then what did your grandfather and your father call you?"

Lord Gray said: "Call me William."

"Then I'll call you William." Shanchu said, "I don't want to be your mother."

Earl Gray chuckled: "Then you want to be my grandfather? Dad?"

"Hey, that's not bad." Shanchu said with a smile.

To be honest, when Shanchu learned that "Will" was a nickname exclusively used by Earl Gray's mother, Shanchu was so scared that he immediately took a step back.He was terrified of getting too close.

Earl Gray seemed to realize it too. He paused and said, "I don't want you to be my father or grandfather. Forget it, you should still call me Earl."

Shanchu took a small step back, and Earl Gray immediately took a big step back.

The enchantment brought by the kiss last night was instantly broken, leaving a silent emptiness.

Shan Chu's heart lightened, and he said, "Okay, Earl, I just have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Earl Gray asked, his tone was still very clear, as if he hadn't been affected by the episode just now.

Shanchu said: "The vase I photographed in the name of the Gray Foundation...can I buy it in my own name?"

"Take it if you like," said Lord Grey.

Shan Chu felt a little uncomfortable about taking the gift from Earl Gray directly, and said, "I will transfer the money to you..."

But Shan Chu immediately thought that Earl Gray might refuse, saying "don't give me any money".

Then, Shanchu had to say "I want it, I want it"...

After experiencing the embarrassment of the nickname just now, this time again, the relationship between the two will be further drawn.

Therefore, after Shanchu said "I will transfer the money to you", he immediately regretted it.

Unexpectedly, Earl Gray said: "Well, you have someone send the things to you, and you can just give him the check when you sign for receipt."

Shan Chu was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses: "No problem."

Later, the vase was sent to Shanchu's home, and Shanchu also wrote a check to send it back.

What Shanchu didn't expect was that Earl Gray didn't cash the check.Because Earl Gray has never cashed the check, it means that Shanchu got the vase without spending any money.

Shanchu once again admired: Mensao old man's routine is so deep.

But this is something for later, now Shanchu is tortured by the heat, eating ice cream, sighing: "The weather is so hot."

"My house has air conditioning," said Earl Gray.

"..." For the first time in Shan Chu's heart, he felt such great resentment towards the rich.

To be honest, air-conditioning is not expensive, and the income of the host family where Shanchu lives is not low, so they can afford air-conditioning.

It's just that people in the UK don't have this habit.

Shanchu, a child spoiled by the air conditioner, could only bear it.

It should be said that under normal circumstances, the summer in the UK is not hot, and air conditioning is not needed.Most people wouldn't spend that money.

But at the beginning of the year, Shan Shan encountered the once-in-a-hundred-year hot summer, which was really unlucky.

Lord Gray said: "Will you come to my house?"

Shan Chu wanted to say: Pooh, filthy rich man!

Shanchu said, "Oh, it's not easy to take a taxi so late."

Lord Gray said, "I'll have the chauffeur pick you up."

In the middle of the night, when Shanchu wanted to go out, he naturally had to report to the guardian of the host family.

The guardian knew that Shanchu was Earl Gray's friend, so he was not surprised to hear that he was going to Earl Gray's house.

The guardian is an honest old straight guy who has no problem with a boy spending the night at another boy's house.

Instead, he worried and said, "Will you disturb the Earl?"

Shanchu said: "He let me go."

The guardian asked: "Is there something important for you to go there?"

Shanchu is frank: "Blow on the air conditioner to sleep."

"That's very important." The guardian felt that this reason was very reasonable, and showed envy and hatred in his eyes.

In this way, Shanchu went to Gray Manor.

The old housekeeper had been waiting there for a long time, he took Shan Chu to change into home clothes, and placed him in the guest room.

This makes Shanchu seem to return to the rainy night of his 17th birthday.

That day, he came to Gray Manor in the rain, changed into the home clothes given by the butler, and stayed in the guest room here.

Shan Chu looked at the butler and asked, "Why didn't you see Earl Gray? Has he already fallen asleep?"

The butler said: "Yes, the count has already fallen asleep. But he ordered you to be treated well before going to bed. You can rest here with peace of mind."

"Okay." Shanchu felt strange, but Earl Gray asked him to come over and turn on the air conditioner to sleep, and he actually turned on the air conditioner to sleep.

Shanchu lay down in the air-conditioned room and thought again: But what could be more comfortable than sleeping with the air-conditioner on a hot day?

So, Shan Chu honestly slept in the air-conditioned room with the air conditioner on.

The next day, when Shanchu woke up, Earl Gray was not here.

The old housekeeper said to Shanchu: "The earl left early in the morning."

Shanchu asked curiously, "Where did he go?"

The butler said, "I don't know about that."

Shanchu originally wanted to go back to the host family, but after walking ten meters in the sunny garden, he turned and went back to the air-conditioned house.

To be honest, the air conditioner is simply a little bit of a grind!People can't live without it!

However, Shanchu did not see Earl Gray all day.

Shan Chu had no choice but to say to the butler: "I want to thank Earl Gray in person, if he comes back..."

The butler understood, and replied, "I will notify you as soon as the Earl comes back."

"Thank you." Shanchu said.

Shanchu stayed in Gray Manor and waited for Earl Gray to come back.

Waited until nine o'clock in the evening.

The housekeeper told Shanchu that Earl Gray had returned and went to the study.

Shanchu asked: "Can I go to the earl's study?"

"Of course." The housekeeper pointed out the way for Shanchu.

Shan Chu thought: If there is no earl's instruction, can the housekeeper show me the way so readily?

The Earl is such a sullen old man.

You obviously want to see me, but you play tricks, let me hang out for a day and a night, playing hard to get!

Shanchu decided: I also want to hang him out!Who can't play hard to get?

Therefore, Shan Chu did not go directly to Earl Gray.

He went back to the guest room first, ate a bag of potato chips, took a shower, changed into home clothes, chatted with You Nian on the phone for a while, flirted with the young version of Shi Xiaonai, and took some money from Brighton. A copy of the Cambridge interview materials, and then slowly went to Earl Gray's study.
