african diary

In the next few days, I went to the Tuareg tribe several times, but they all returned in vain. The chief seemed to be entangled with them and refused to let go at all. He raised his spear and blasted them away.

There is no progress in the work, Xiao Hang might as well clean up in the dormitory, there are a lot of dirty clothes piled up.While arranging clothes, a crumpled post-it note fell out of the suit pocket.

——Ted Vatara, will this person be of any help to the development of the situation?Turning on the computer by accident, Xiao Hang entered the address on the sticky note on the MSN add contact page, then deleted it, repeated several times, and finally... clicked Add.

The other party's profile picture is lit up, and the name is "TedM". What does "M" mean?

"Hello, Mr. Ouattara, are you still in Niamey?" Since it was added, let's just order it.

After a while, a dialog box popped up - "Not at the moment."

"Your name is very interesting." I really don't know what to tell him, and I don't know if he still remembers me.

"M? This word has some origins with your country. I'll tell you next time we meet."

It seems that the other party still remembers him.Xiao Hang hesitated for a moment, and typed a line - "When will we meet next time?" He said this as if he was looking forward to meeting him. Thinking of the weird atmosphere that day, Xiao Hang suddenly wanted to take back the message he just sent.

The other party was silent for a while, and a message box popped up - "Did you miss me? How about tomorrow?"

Looking at the line on the screen, Xiao Hang suddenly felt that he was playing with fire, how should he answer?

"Tomorrow at 5 o'clock in the evening, see you at the Chinese restaurant around the corner of the Chinese consulate." The other party went offline without giving him a chance to reply.

The Chinese restaurant at the corner of the Chinese Consulate is called "Annual Ring". It was opened by a couple from Sichuan who went to Africa in the early years. On the second day after arriving in Niger, Manager Xu greeted Xiao Hang here. Although the Chinese restaurant is expensive , but all Chinese people can enjoy a half-price discount, and Xiao Hang also often cares about it. The boiled pork slices here are very authentic.

Walking into the restaurant, Xiao Hang immediately saw Ted Vatara sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows. Armani's T-shirt set off his perfect figure. At this moment, he was looking at Xiao Hang playfully with those dark blue eyes.

"Please sit down." Ted helped Xiao Hang open the chair in a gentlemanly manner.

"Thank you!"

"Come and order, you are better at this."

"Okay," Xiao Hang obliged to take the menu, "Is there anything you don't want to eat? Can you eat spicy food?"

"It doesn't matter, just order the dishes you like."

Cut, you just pretend to be a gentleman.Xiao Hang cursed in his heart, since you are so generous, then I will order all the spicy food.

While waiting for the food to be served——

"You were not in Niamey yesterday?"

"Yes, I drove from Kenya this morning."

Hearing this, Xiao Hang couldn't help frowning. It should take at least a whole day to drive here from Kenya, and there are many places in Africa with bad roads. God knows how this person can come here so quickly.

"The Ouattara family also has property in Kenya?" This question is simply nonsense, and the Ouattara family will definitely not let go of a market as large as Kenya.

"Yes, I am in charge of the industry there."

"How old are you?" Xiao Hang was a little curious about his age, he looks quite young, has he already provoked the leader of the Ouattara family?

"27, my position in the Ouattara family is not what you imagined. The Ouattara family has many industries in Africa, and the sons of the Ouattara family will be responsible for the industries in various places after they grow up," said the beautiful woman. Really can't hide a secret, Ted paused, "Can you call me without honorifics?"

"Oh, okay." The two were talking in French at this time.

"May I take the liberty to ask you, uh, your relationship with the Ouattara family?" In fact, I was very interested in this question at the banquet that day.

"Master Ouattara is my father." Looking at Xiao Hang's obviously surprised eyes, Ted couldn't help but smile, "My mother is the woman he adopted in England. Côte d'Ivoire is not a country that practices monogamy. In fact, My father has women in many places around the world. When he arrives in a place he likes, he buys a real estate and takes care of a woman. Every time he goes to that country, he is lucky. Like the ancient emperors, in fact, I don’t Know how many women and how many sons he has."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be asking about your family affairs." Xiao Hang was a little annoyed by his gossip. It is conceivable that Ted's growth history should not be so happy.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, I am quite grateful for the material conditions provided by Master Ouattara. If it weren't for his selfless support, I wouldn't be able to go to the best school in England."

"Uh... which school did you graduate from?" Let's change the subject, it's not a good habit to spy on other people's family background.

"University of Edinburgh," Ted paused, and said a little coquettishly, "Computer, French, double master's degree."

"..." Well, let's not mention the master's degree in French. French is also one of Ted's mother tongues. The master's degree in computer science at the University of Edinburgh should still be very real, but—"It is necessary Did you report it to me in such detail?" Xiao Hang murmured softly, but Ted still listened to such a low voice.

"I thought," Ted showed a cynical smile, "if I want to pursue you, I need to introduce myself in detail first."

"... Pursue me?" Seeing Xiao Hang's expression as if he had eaten a fly, Ted's smile became brighter.

"Yeah, I'm gay, English is gay, French is l'homosexualité", Ted stared closely at Xiao Hang's eyes, "Do you understand?"

"Or there is another name." Xiao Hang looked away resentfully.

"what?"

abnormal!Xiao Hang cursed in his heart, "You don't want to know."

Ted smiled and didn't press on.Fortunately, the dishes ordered were served on the table one after another, and the two were able to suspend this embarrassing topic.

"Don't you like the food I ordered?" Ted stopped his chopsticks after tasting every dish. Seeing him sweating from the tip of his nose and drinking water desperately after eating chili, he must not be able to eat spicy right?Xiao Hang felt a little bit of joy of having succeeded in a small prank.

"I'm not hungry." Ted just picked the bowl of plain rice for the whole meal.

Well, you just have a hard mouth, the dishes on this table are all in my pocket, and Xiao Hang worked harder to eliminate the delicious food on the table.

"It's a nice song," Ted said suddenly.

"Oh, this is Shuimunianhua's life with you." Xiao Hang raised his head that was almost buried in the bowl. This song was very popular when he was in college, and his ears grew calluses after listening to it.

"It's a pity that some of the lyrics are unclear."

"I'll find the lyrics and send them to your email when I get back later."

"Okay. But my Chinese is not very good, and I may not understand it all. If you have a chance, you can give me a tutor."

"...Okay." Just take it as a return gift for this meal.

When the meal was almost finished, Xiao Hang realized that today's business hadn't been mentioned yet.He described the troubles encountered by the company to Ted, and deliberately skipped the part of finding Lalibela.

"Maybe you should follow Bridget's advice and meet Lalibela," Ted said, sticking his chin.

"..." It's disgusting, he clearly knows what kind of person Lalibela is.

Seeing Xiao Hang's deflated look, Ted was in a good mood, "Or I can go meet her for you."

"You..." Xiao Hang looked at Ted with some worry, such a handsome man, it shouldn't be safer for him to go out than to go by himself.

"It's okay, Lalibela won't want to fuck anyone she sees, she doesn't dare to touch me." For Xiao Hang's mind, Ted knew very well.

Back at the dormitory at night, Xiao Hang searched for the lyrics of "I have you all my life" and sent them to Ted's mailbox as promised. He happened to have the downloaded mp3, so let's send it along with it.

When I opened the inbox, the email from Yang Yue was still written as always with words such as paying attention to safety and health, and Xiao Hang wrote in the reply email——

"Today I had dinner with the son of a well-known famous family in the African continent. It should be said that he is one of the sons. He is a very interesting person. He has received a good education in England. I don't know if we can make friends."

Forget it, let's not mention Ted's homosexuality. Although he is very confident in his sexuality, it's better not to make his girlfriend worry unnecessary.
