after accidentally becoming first lady
Chapter 64
Under the dark night, the roof was filled with smoke. Michael was leading a few burly men in white shirts to yell and drink and light the charcoal stove. There are strangely shaped skewers, several crates of beer and various beverages are crookedly stacked on the ground beside the round table, and rows of colorful lights are hanging in the air around the roof, emitting a little bit of faint light.
The scene in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar. For a moment, Qi Leran felt as if he had traveled back to the night market of the barbecue stalls on the street behind his home.
"Do you like it?" Sterman, who was standing beside him, asked. He turned his head to look at Qi Leran, who was a little dazed, and said softly, "I remember you once said that the happiest thing is that after a hard day, you can make an appointment with a few Good friends, sitting at the barbecue stalls on the street, eating skewers, drinking beer, and chatting all over the world.”
Qi Leran nodded slowly. In fact, this kind of life only exists in his mind, and he has never really experienced it. He went abroad to study after graduating from high school without taking the college entrance examination. How can there be any chance to experience such a life, but only occasionally When I returned home, I walked on the barbecue stalls on the street behind my home, and saw groups of friends sitting there happily chatting with each other while drinking.
But unexpectedly, Sterman not only remembered his words, but also turned the roof of the national government building into a barbecue stall, which really made him experience this kind of life!
Qi Leran suddenly turned her head and hugged Sterman tightly beside him, buried her face in his chest, and murmured, "How can you be so good..."
Yeah, how can you be so nice?Every time I think that you have done a good job and can't be better, you will do something that makes me even more unexpected, and every time it can move me more, and make me feel that I am a little too sentimental , But I can't control my moving mood!
"Do you want to rub the pomade from your hair onto my suit so that my image can be more in line with the environment?" Sterman's smiling voice sounded from above Qi Leran's head. Today is Qi Leran's first official day in office In those days, he just wanted him to laugh, not to cry.
Qi Leran raised his hand and rubbed his hot eye sockets, coughed twice on purpose, and then said with a smile, "Can't you find someone who can light a charcoal fire? If this continues, it will either set the national government building on fire, or Call the fire brigade!"
When Qi Leran said this, he suddenly remembered something, looked up at Sterman, and asked in a low voice, "You made the roof of the national government building like this, and those cabinet members won't get mad if they find out tomorrow!"
"How come?" Sterman pulled Qi Leran up to the rooftop, and said solemnly, "Today is your first day as the First Lady, and I made this party to celebrate you. On the roof of the national government building, they can save a lot of money just by renting space, and they should thank me!"
Thank you also, those old guys would rather let you spend money than see you turning the solemn and solemn roof of the national government building into a barbecue stall!
But of course Qi Leran will not refute Sterman at this time. After all, all he has done is for himself, and it has to be said that if the two of them want to enjoy the life they imagined freely, the national government The building is indeed the most suitable place, not to mention whether there is that kind of barbecue food stall in country h, even if there is, it is impossible for the two of them to sit there to eat and drink with their current identities!
However, Qi Leran was still a little curious. In the past, where did the first ladies go to celebrate their first day in office, so he asked Sterman this question.
At this time, the two had already walked to the wooden round table next to Michael and the others. Sterman took off his suit jacket gracefully, and returned casually, "I don't know, after all, they didn't celebrate their first day in office." Pass."
"Ah?!" Qi Leran was a little confused. What do you mean?Didn't previous first ladies celebrate their first day in office? !Dare to feel that this celebration is the first of its kind by you alone, then you just said that you saved them money!
At this time, Qi Leran can already foresee the expressions of those cabinet members who will blow their beards and stare with anger tomorrow!
"Michael, are you ready? I asked you to create the feeling of fireworks at the roadside stand, but you don't have to make it so that you can't see your fingers!" Sterman had already rolled up his shirt sleeves at this time, and was busy Michael, who was sweating profusely, shouted loudly, then turned his head to Qi Leran and said with a smile, "Baby, I will let you try my handicraft later!"
The original white shirt has been smoked white and black, and Michael and the big men around him who are busy with soot on their face are also aggrieved. Who knew that being the bodyguard of the president these days would have to be a charcoal fire. , you are probably the most troublesome president in the history of country h!
But fortunately, they managed to get the charcoal fire in the stove in the end, and placed it on a long bracket beside it. Sterman rolled up his arms and sleeves, and picked up a few meat skewers, squid and chicken wings from the round table in a decent manner. to the stove.
Qi Leran stared dumbfounded at the various strings on the round table, and asked loudly in surprise, "Where did you get these...these things?!"
No wonder Qi Leran was surprised. The various skewers on the round table and even some things have never been seen in country H, and they don't eat things at all, such as chicken heads, chicken feet, chicken necks, tendons, heart meat, etc. .
Before Sterman, who was busy in front of the stove, answered, Michael, who was standing next to Qi Leran and busy opening beer, rushed back with a toothache on his face, "These things are from when Mr. President sent someone to pick up your parents in country Z." , I bought it in country Z and sent it back with a special plane!"
"Ah!" Qi Leran didn't know how many times he was dumbfounded today. Could the president be like this? !
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Sterman replied with a smile while grilling the kebabs, "it was transported here by special plane with your parents."
Hearing this, Qi Leran finally felt relieved, turned around and gave Michael a hard look, why did the words change in your mouth!
Michael touched his head with his big dirty hands, and murmured a little aggrieved, "I'm not wrong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the beer he had just opened in his hand and wanted to pour it into his mouth, but at this moment, Qi Leran said coolly beside him, "Michael, can you drink while you are on duty?" ?”
Michael's arms raised in the air froze suddenly. He was suffocated by the charcoal fire just now, and now Michael's throat was smoky, looking at the cold beer that was close at hand, he was really unwilling to give up just like that. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Seeing Sterman who was busy grilling skewers behind the stove, he suddenly said loudly, "Mr. President, I am asking for leave now!" After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows proudly at Qi Leran. Say it!
Qi Leran didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile, and just when Michael raised the beer bottle in his hand to his mouth for the second time, Sterman's choked voice came from the stove, "If you don't want For this month's full attendance award, you can ask for leave at any time."
Michael's hand froze in the air again, "I'm obviously working overtime now, why don't I get a full attendance award when I ask for leave? Are you two devils?!" Michael's mouth twitched crazily, but he still bit Gritting his teeth, he put down the beer bottle in his hand.
"Haha..." Qi Leran couldn't help laughing out loud, he knew that Michael would be deflated by Sterman, but seeing the blue veins on Michael's forehead, Qi Leran could only suppress his smile, raised his chin at him, and held back He smiled and said, "Isn't there still a drink!"
When Michael turned around to get a drink with infinite resentment, the door of the roof was pushed open from the inside, and Rena and Jennifer came in talking and laughing, followed by a somewhat surprised Davis and Travis with a straight face, the four of them involuntarily showed surprise expressions on their faces after seeing the situation on the rooftop.
Qi Leran greeted her with a smile.
"What...what's the situation?" Reina was the first to respond, and asked Qi Leran who was coming over.
"Yes..." Qi Leran thought about his words, and found that he couldn't explain clearly to those people who had never seen a barbecue food stall at all, so he could only vaguely say, "It's a kind of restaurant in my hometown, where things are strung together. When the weather is good, the tables and chairs will be put on the side of the street, and everyone chats while eating.”
"Although I'm a little flustered, it looks very interesting!" Jennifer listened to Qi Leran's explanation, and looked at the smoking stove behind him with a very interested look.
Davis, who was standing behind her, frowned imperceptibly, raised his hand and gently stroked his nose, revealing a hint of veiled dislike.
Although Travis still had unabated anger on her face, she also knew from her experience that the deal was done now, and it would be useless to talk more, otherwise she would only make herself annoying, so she just kept a straight face and did not express anything.
Qi Leran actually understands the feelings of those who have never seen a barbecue stall, let alone sat on the side of the road and eaten cheap food, because he just smiled, turned and pointed to the white wooden tables and chairs scattered aside and said in a relaxed tone "You go and sit for a while, and you will taste Mr. President's craftsmanship later."
"Boss can do this?!" Reina heard Qi Leran's words, and then realized that it was Sterman who was busy behind the smoky charcoal stove, and she couldn't help asking in surprise.
"Yes...Probably yes!" Looking at Sterman's confident appearance, Qi Leran didn't think about whether he would or not. At this time, when Reina asked him this question, he became a little uncertain.
"It's such an honor to eat something made by Mr. President himself!" Jennifer, who didn't know the truth, looked forward to it.
Qi Leran, who was a little worried, settled the few people down, then walked over to Sterman behind the charcoal stove, came to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Kevin, can you really do it?"
"Of course!" Sterman stared at the skewers in his hand, and said seriously, "Isn't it just roasted on the fire? The last time I accompanied you back to China, I saw someone on the street behind your house at night. Baking," he turned his head and glanced at Qi Leran beside him in a hurry, and then immediately looked back, looking worried that it would be burnt, and then said in a regretful tone, "When I went back with you last time, We don't have time to eat, what a pity!"
In fact, if you have to squeeze time, you can go, but Qi Leran was afraid that Sterman would not adapt, and he would spoil his stomach after eating later, so he didn't think about it at all. Who knew he would still miss it, Qi Leran shook with a smile Shake your head.
"Go over there and have a drink and have a rest. You don't have to stay here to smoke and smoke with me. Didn't you say that you are tired today! The food will be ready in a while, and I will ask someone to bring it to you." Ster Man touched Qi leran's arm with his elbow, signaling that he doesn't need to be here with her.
Now that Sterman said so, Qi Leran nodded and walked to the place where everyone was sitting. After all, this was a party to celebrate his first day in office. He is also the master, and he is not good to neglect everyone. .
Qi Leran, who left Sterman, saw a lonely figure standing beside the fence on the other side of the roof, with his back to everyone, with one hand in his pocket, looking into the distance.
When Qi Leran passed by the beer box, he took two bottles of beer that had already been opened, walked to the figure, reached out and handed him a bottle, while leaning his elbows on the railing, looking into the distance, he raised his head and took a sip Finally, he said softly, "Davis, did you come to the first lady's office voluntarily?"
In fact, he wanted to ask this question when he first saw Davis in the morning, but there were Travis and Jennifer in the room at that time, and Qi Leran was afraid that Davis did not come voluntarily, and if he said something bad, he would It would affect his future, so I refrained from asking, and then I was so busy that I was dizzy and had no time, so I thought about finding an opportunity in private to ask him alone. If he didn't come voluntarily, I would In order for him to go back, there is no need to keep a person who does not agree with him by his side, after all, twisted melons are not sweet.
Davis was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then imitated Qi Leran's appearance, propped his elbows on the railing, raised his hands and took a sip of beer, then looked into the distance and replied faintly, "You know the title of the article in the national media Who wrote the article "On What is True Democracy and Freedom"?"
"Who is it..." Qi Leran returned subconsciously following his words, but after he said two words just now, he reacted, turned his head suddenly to look at the blond young man with a calm expression, widened his eyes, and said in surprise "Could it be you who wrote it!"
The blond-haired young man didn't look at him, and then nodded slightly after taking another gulp of beer.
"You...you...you really think so?!" Qi leran was stunned by his answer and asked.
"Although I didn't feel anything at the time, but when the news of the two of you's marriage spread, I realized that all the previous things were traceable." Davis raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a faint smile , "If you were just playing around, I would despise you, but you actually got married in spite of the world!"
He lowered his head, with an even bigger smile on his face, and murmured, "So there is nothing impossible in this world, and I also want to see where you can go..."
At this moment, the smile on the young man's face was real and hearty, and he was completely different from him who was wearing a mask during the day. For a moment, Qi Leran was dazed by his smile, as if he had never seen Dai before. Weiss smiled so sincerely.
In order to hide his gaffe, Qi Leran hurriedly turned his back against the railing, raised his head and took a sip of beer, glanced at Sterman next to the charcoal stove, and said loudly, "Kevin's skewers should be almost grilled." alright…"
Before Qi Leran finished speaking, he saw Sterman in the smoke, as if nothing had happened, secretly throwing a few black skewers in his hand into the trash can at his feet, and after thinking about it, he even covered it with a few sticks. Paper towels!
"Pfft!" Qi Leran spit out the beer he just drank. Fortunately, he was not facing Davis at this time, otherwise it would be a big embarrassment!
"Cough cough..." Qi Leran couldn't help coughing loudly. Davis, who was standing next to him, looked helpless, pulled out the handkerchief on his suit chest and held it in front of Qi Leran, and said in a low voice, "Have a drink." Beer can also choke yourself, fortunately not at a state banquet..."
Qi Leran was flushed with embarrassment, and he couldn't tell Davis the reason why he was choking, so he could only bear it silently, pressed the handkerchief Davis handed over to his mouth, and raised his legs twitching at the corners of his mouth Walk towards Sterman.
"Kevin, how is your skewer?" Qi Leran pretended not to know anything, and came to Sterman's side and asked.
"Very good," Sterman moved his body subconsciously, trying to block Qi Leran's sight, so as not to let him see that the meat skewer he just put on the stove was still raw, and said in a hurry, "here The smoke is heavy, don't smoke you, stay away!"
"Oh, good!" Qi Leran nodded, and took a few steps outside, but just when Sterman's heart was lifted, Qi Leran stopped suddenly, turned around suddenly, and saw that the fire on the stove The bloodshot strings of various colors and Sterman's embarrassing face came into Qi Leran's eyes at the same time without reservation.
"Hahaha..." Qi Leran finally couldn't hold back his smile. He laughed, raised his finger and pointed at Sterman, and said with a smile, "So there are things in this world that you don't know!"
"I'm not a god!" Sterman touched his nose, gave full play to his shameless spirit, and returned confidently.
His hands were already covered with soot from the skewers, and after subconsciously touching his nose, his white face was smeared with black soot, which was ridiculous.
Qi Leran pointed at his face and kept laughing even more. Sterman looked at his dirty palms and understood what happened. He suddenly gave a smirk and ran out from behind the charcoal stove. He grabbed it and laughed to himself. Qi leran kept touching his face with both hands.
Naturally, Qi Leran refused to give in easily. He rushed left and right and couldn't escape, so he simply buried his face in Sterman's arms. Anyway, he didn't want him to dirty his face. The two entangled and hugged each other. .
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity over there, Rui Na and Michael, who had a very pleasant private chat with the fake Gongji, didn't find out what was going on with Sterman and Qi Leran at first, but now the two of them fought and hugged each other. It couldn't help but attract their attention.
Rui Na and Michael, who had to hide their relationship, looked at each other, and said in unison, "Show affection, die quickly!"
And Jennifer and Davis, who had never seen the president's husband and wife showing affection, were stunned, especially Davis who had just walked up to them. He murmured in disbelief, "Ster Professor Man actually looks like this in private?!"
"Of course not!" Michael and Rena said in unison, but just when Davis breathed a sigh of relief and poured a sip of beer into his mouth, trying to suppress his shock, the two of them said in unison again To "Where is this!"
"Pfft!" The beer in Davis's mouth also spurted out uncontrollably.
Jennifer, who was sitting blankly by the side, looked straight at Sterman and Qi Leran who were playing together intimately, and gradually showed a relieved smile on the bitter expression on her face. This is what love should be like!
She raised her hand and gulped down the bottle of beer in her hand, and shouted to Sterman and Qi Leran who were hugging each other, "Mr. President, can you give us something to eat first, and then show your affection?" Ah! You starved us to death, and no one will work for you in the future!"
Qi Leran, who was holding Qi Leran in his arms, rubbed the soot on his nose against his face buried in his chest. When he heard Jennifer's shout, he suddenly had an idea, and raised his voice back, "My wife said he baked well, Offer to bake it for everyone!"
"What!" Qi Leran was startled by his words and suddenly raised his head, looking at Sterman in surprise, when did I say that!
Sterman smiled slyly, lowered his head, rubbed Qi Leran's cheek with his high nose bridge, and said in a low voice, "Baby, you have to pay for laughing at your husband!"
It was only then that Qi Leran realized that he had been tricked by Sterman, and looked at him dumbfounded, don't you want to be so naive!
Sterman looked down at Qi Leran whose face was blackened by himself, and said happily, "Baby, I believe in you, you can do it!"
Isn't it just skewers!Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? Qi Leran took off his suit and threw it into Sterman's arms. While rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, he said proudly, "I'll take it for you, sir. Look at what craft is!"
Qi Leran walked quickly to the charcoal stove, imitating how he saw the people who were grilling skewers on the street. He grabbed the skewers full of meat with both hands, shaking them constantly, and turning them over from time to time. When the skewers are about to be ready, reach out and grab various seasonings in the seasoning box, sprinkle them generously on the meat skewers that have already overflowed with fragrance, and the meaty aroma mixed with cumin and chili aromas will rippling in an instant. The air permeates the entire rooftop.
Sterman, who was still waiting to see the joke, and the staff behind him were all dumbfounded, but everyone's focus was completely different.
"Daughter-in-law, you are too good!" Sterman looked at Qi Leran with amazing eyes, as if he had discovered the new world.
"It smells so good! Can I eat it?!" Michael swallowed the uncontrollable saliva, looked straight at the meat skewers in Qi Leran's hand and murmured.
"How do you grab something and sprinkle it with your hands?! Can such an unhygienic thing be eaten?" Rena, Jennifer and Davis said loudly in surprise and disgust.
Travis frowned, as if someone owed her 100 million, and kept silent from beginning to end.
Qi Leran didn't expect that he was quite talented. It seems that he really didn't pass by the barbecue street behind his house all day long!
He walked up to the crowd with a smile, put the grilled kebabs in his hand on the empty plate prepared on the table, and said to everyone with a smile, "Hurry up and try it. After passing this village, there will be no such shop!"
Just when everyone was still hesitantly looking at the slightly burnt meat skewers on the table, but with an unfamiliar aroma, Michael had already impatiently picked up two skewers at a time and stuffed them into his mouth at the same time, while being scalded. Exhaling, he kept stuffing it into his mouth, and at the same time uttered vague words such as "delicious, really fragrant" from time to time.
The crowd was in a flash, and most of the meat skewers on the table were gone. Seeing that the meat skewers were about to disappear, the remaining few people quickly reached out and took each skewer. After hesitating for a while, they opened their mouths Hesitantly took a small bite, the aroma of marinated mutton mixed with unfamiliar seasonings instantly filled the mouth, and several people unknowingly sped up the movements of their hands.
Interested, Qi Leran picked some others and roasted them on the fire. At the beginning, for those scary-looking things, such as chicken heads, chicken feet, etc., which few of them had never seen before, they had to put them in Qi Leran Under the suggestion of the beer bottle to decide who to eat, it was like a punishment. Later, after eating the taste, they rushed to eat, and the hands were fast, and the hands were slow. In the end, everyone drank too much.
Seeing Qi Leran who has been grilling for everyone at the charcoal stove, and he hardly ate anything, Sterman felt distressed, ran to him and stood beside him and kept feeding him, and then insisted on pulling him to rest, Don't let him get tired anymore.
In order to eat delicious food, Michael and his brothers with big appetites had to bake it by themselves. Although the taste was not good, it was still edible, and Michael secretly drank several bottles of beer while Qi Leran was not paying attention. After drinking it, I have no scruples. Drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in big mouthfuls are the true qualities of a hero!
Qi leran, who was just joking with him, naturally didn't really care about him. He leaned on Sterman's shoulder and drank beer after a sip after eating.
The friends around me were eating, drinking and laughing, leaning in the arms of their beloved, looking up at the bright stars in the sky, the happiness of life was nothing more than that, Qi Leran, who was tired all day, fell asleep slowly In the past, there was still a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, life is obviously not only about happiness. The happiness at this moment can certainly be imprinted in our hearts and become the driving force for us to move forward, but in the future we will have to work hard step by step.
Qi Leran didn't know how Sterman resolved with the cabinet members the matter of using the roof of the national government building as a roadside barbecue stall the next day, and he didn't have the energy to take care of these things, because the endless daily This strange homework has exhausted him.
As the day when the crown prince and his wife of country d came to visit is getting closer, Qi Leran's life is getting more and more difficult. Although he is not quick to sharpen his guns before the battle, it is not enough in the eyes of the members of the royal family who have received noble education since childhood. I'm afraid In a few rounds, it will be exposed.
But Qi Leran couldn't say what he didn't want to learn, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
One week before the visit of the crown prince and his wife of country d, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of country d sent the itinerary of the crown prince and his wife in country h in the next few days, and negotiated with country h in advance.
Generally, this so-called consultation is to say hello in advance, so that the visited country can prepare in advance. After all, the people who come to visit will not bring up anything that involves state secrets and will embarrass the visited country.
But Qi Leran held the itinerary in his hand, but his eyes widened, and he shouted in surprise, "What is this and what is it! This is my life!"
The scene in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar. For a moment, Qi Leran felt as if he had traveled back to the night market of the barbecue stalls on the street behind his home.
"Do you like it?" Sterman, who was standing beside him, asked. He turned his head to look at Qi Leran, who was a little dazed, and said softly, "I remember you once said that the happiest thing is that after a hard day, you can make an appointment with a few Good friends, sitting at the barbecue stalls on the street, eating skewers, drinking beer, and chatting all over the world.”
Qi Leran nodded slowly. In fact, this kind of life only exists in his mind, and he has never really experienced it.

How can there be any chance to experience such a life, but only occasionally When I returned home, I walked on the barbecue stalls on the street behind my home, and saw groups of friends sitting there happily chatting with each other while drinking.

Qi Leran suddenly turned her head and hugged Sterman tightly beside him, buried her face in his chest, and murmured, "How can you be so good..."
Yeah, how can you be so nice?Every time I think that you have done a good job and can't be better, you will do something that makes me even more unexpected, and every time it can move me more, and make me feel that I am a little too sentimental , But I can't control my moving mood!

"Although I'm a little flustered, it looks very interesting!" Jennifer listened to Qi Leran's explanation, and looked at the smoking stove behind him with a very interested look.
Davis, who was standing behind her, frowned imperceptibly, raised his hand and gently stroked his nose, revealing a hint of veiled dislike.
Although Travis still had unabated anger on her face, she also knew from her experience that the deal was done now, and it would be useless to talk more, otherwise she would only make herself annoying, so she just kept a straight face and did not express anything.
Qi Leran actually understands the feelings of those who have never seen a barbecue stall, let alone sat on the side of the road and eaten cheap food, because he just smiled, turned and pointed to the white wooden tables and chairs scattered aside and said in a relaxed tone "You go and sit for a while, and you will taste Mr. President's craftsmanship later."
"Boss can do this?!" Reina heard Qi Leran's words, and then realized that it was Sterman who was busy behind the smoky charcoal stove, and she couldn't help asking in surprise.
"Yes...Probably yes!" Looking at Sterman's confident appearance, Qi Leran didn't think about whether he would or not. At this time, when Reina asked him this question, he became a little uncertain.
"It's such an honor to eat something made by Mr. President himself!" Jennifer, who didn't know the truth, looked forward to it.
Qi Leran, who was a little worried, settled the few people down, then walked over to Sterman behind the charcoal stove, came to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Kevin, can you really do it?"
"Of course!" Sterman stared at the skewers in his hand, and said seriously, "Isn't it just roasted on the fire? The last time I accompanied you back to China, I saw someone on the street behind your house at night. Baking," he turned his head and glanced at Qi Leran beside him in a hurry, and then immediately looked back, looking worried that it would be burnt, and then said in a regretful tone, "When I went back with you last time, We don't have time to eat, what a pity!"
In fact, if you have to squeeze time, you can go, but Qi Leran was afraid that Sterman would not adapt, and he would spoil his stomach after eating later, so he didn't think about it at all. Who knew he would still miss it, Qi Leran shook with a smile Shake your head.
"Go over there and have a drink and have a rest. You don't have to stay here to smoke and smoke with me. Didn't you say that you are tired today! The food will be ready in a while, and I will ask someone to bring it to you." Ster Man touched Qi leran's arm with his elbow, signaling that he doesn't need to be here with her.
Now that Sterman said so, Qi Leran nodded and walked to the place where everyone was sitting. After all, this was a party to celebrate his first day in office. He is also the master, and he is not good to neglect everyone. .
Qi Leran, who left Sterman, saw a lonely figure standing beside the fence on the other side of the roof, with his back to everyone, with one hand in his pocket, looking into the distance.
When Qi Leran passed by the beer box, he took two bottles of beer that had already been opened, walked to the figure, reached out and handed him a bottle, while leaning his elbows on the railing, looking into the distance, he raised his head and took a sip Finally, he said softly, "Davis, did you come to the first lady's office voluntarily?"
In fact, he wanted to ask this question when he first saw Davis in the morning, but there were Travis and Jennifer in the room at that time, and Qi Leran was afraid that Davis did not come voluntarily, and if he said something bad, he would It would affect his future, so I refrained from asking, and then I was so busy that I was dizzy and had no time, so I thought about finding an opportunity in private to ask him alone. If he didn't come voluntarily, I would In order for him to go back, there is no need to keep a person who does not agree with him by his side, after all, twisted melons are not sweet.
Davis was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then imitated Qi Leran's appearance, propped his elbows on the railing, raised his hands and took a sip of beer, then looked into the distance and replied faintly, "You know the title of the article in the national media Who wrote the article "On What is True Democracy and Freedom"?"
"Who is it..." Qi Leran returned subconsciously following his words, but after he said two words just now, he reacted, turned his head suddenly to look at the blond young man with a calm expression, widened his eyes, and said in surprise "Could it be you who wrote it!"
The blond-haired young man didn't look at him, and then nodded slightly after taking another gulp of beer.
"You...you...you really think so?!" Qi leran was stunned by his answer and asked.
"Although I didn't feel anything at the time, but when the news of the two of you's marriage spread, I realized that all the previous things were traceable." Davis raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a faint smile , "If you were just playing around, I would despise you, but you actually got married in spite of the world!"
He lowered his head, with an even bigger smile on his face, and murmured, "So there is nothing impossible in this world, and I also want to see where you can go..."
At this moment, the smile on the young man's face was real and hearty, and he was completely different from him who was wearing a mask during the day. For a moment, Qi Leran was dazed by his smile, as if he had never seen Dai before. Weiss smiled so sincerely.
In order to hide his gaffe, Qi Leran hurriedly turned his back against the railing, raised his head and took a sip of beer, glanced at Sterman next to the charcoal stove, and said loudly, "Kevin's skewers should be almost grilled." alright…"
Before Qi Leran finished speaking, he saw Sterman in the smoke, as if nothing had happened, secretly throwing a few black skewers in his hand into the trash can at his feet, and after thinking about it, he even covered it with a few sticks. Paper towels!
"Pfft!" Qi Leran spit out the beer he just drank. Fortunately, he was not facing Davis at this time, otherwise it would be a big embarrassment!
"Cough cough..." Qi Leran couldn't help coughing loudly. Davis, who was standing next to him, looked helpless, pulled out the handkerchief on his suit chest and held it in front of Qi Leran, and said in a low voice, "Have a drink." Beer can also choke yourself, fortunately not at a state banquet..."
Qi Leran was flushed with embarrassment, and he couldn't tell Davis the reason why he was choking, so he could only bear it silently, pressed the handkerchief Davis handed over to his mouth, and raised his legs twitching at the corners of his mouth Walk towards Sterman.
"Kevin, how is your skewer?" Qi Leran pretended not to know anything, and came to Sterman's side and asked.
"Very good," Sterman moved his body subconsciously, trying to block Qi Leran's sight, so as not to let him see that the meat skewer he just put on the stove was still raw, and said in a hurry, "here The smoke is heavy, don't smoke you, stay away!"
"Oh, good!" Qi Leran nodded, and took a few steps outside, but just when Sterman's heart was lifted, Qi Leran stopped suddenly, turned around suddenly, and saw that the fire on the stove The bloodshot strings of various colors and Sterman's embarrassing face came into Qi Leran's eyes at the same time without reservation.
"Hahaha..." Qi Leran finally couldn't hold back his smile. He laughed, raised his finger and pointed at Sterman, and said with a smile, "So there are things in this world that you don't know!"
"I'm not a god!" Sterman touched his nose, gave full play to his shameless spirit, and returned confidently.
His hands were already covered with soot from the skewers, and after subconsciously touching his nose, his white face was smeared with black soot, which was ridiculous.
Qi Leran pointed at his face and kept laughing even more. Sterman looked at his dirty palms and understood what happened. He suddenly gave a smirk and ran out from behind the charcoal stove. He grabbed it and laughed to himself. Qi leran kept touching his face with both hands.
Naturally, Qi Leran refused to give in easily. He rushed left and right and couldn't escape, so he simply buried his face in Sterman's arms. Anyway, he didn't want him to dirty his face. The two entangled and hugged each other. .
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity over there, Rui Na and Michael, who had a very pleasant private chat with the fake Gongji, didn't find out what was going on with Sterman and Qi Leran at first, but now the two of them fought and hugged each other. It couldn't help but attract their attention.
Rui Na and Michael, who had to hide their relationship, looked at each other, and said in unison, "Show affection, die quickly!"
And Jennifer and Davis, who had never seen the president's husband and wife showing affection, were stunned, especially Davis who had just walked up to them. He murmured in disbelief, "Ster Professor Man actually looks like this in private?!"
"Of course not!" Michael and Rena said in unison, but just when Davis breathed a sigh of relief and poured a sip of beer into his mouth, trying to suppress his shock, the two of them said in unison again To "Where is this!"
"Pfft!" The beer in Davis's mouth also spurted out uncontrollably.
Jennifer, who was sitting blankly by the side, looked straight at Sterman and Qi Leran who were playing together intimately, and gradually showed a relieved smile on the bitter expression on her face. This is what love should be like!
She raised her hand and gulped down the bottle of beer in her hand, and shouted to Sterman and Qi Leran who were hugging each other, "Mr. President, can you give us something to eat first, and then show your affection?" Ah! You starved us to death, and no one will work for you in the future!"
Qi Leran, who was holding Qi Leran in his arms, rubbed the soot on his nose against his face buried in his chest. When he heard Jennifer's shout, he suddenly had an idea, and raised his voice back, "My wife said he baked well, Offer to bake it for everyone!"
"What!" Qi Leran was startled by his words and suddenly raised his head, looking at Sterman in surprise, when did I say that!
Sterman smiled slyly, lowered his head, rubbed Qi Leran's cheek with his high nose bridge, and said in a low voice, "Baby, you have to pay for laughing at your husband!"
It was only then that Qi Leran realized that he had been tricked by Sterman, and looked at him dumbfounded, don't you want to be so naive!
Sterman looked down at Qi Leran whose face was blackened by himself, and said happily, "Baby, I believe in you, you can do it!"
Isn't it just skewers!Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? Qi Leran took off his suit and threw it into Sterman's arms. While rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, he said proudly, "I'll take it for you, sir. Look at what craft is!"
Qi Leran walked quickly to the charcoal stove, imitating how he saw the people who were grilling skewers on the street. He grabbed the skewers full of meat with both hands, shaking them constantly, and turning them over from time to time. When the skewers are about to be ready, reach out and grab various seasonings in the seasoning box, sprinkle them generously on the meat skewers that have already overflowed with fragrance, and the meaty aroma mixed with cumin and chili aromas will rippling in an instant. The air permeates the entire rooftop.
Sterman, who was still waiting to see the joke, and the staff behind him were all dumbfounded, but everyone's focus was completely different.
"Daughter-in-law, you are too good!" Sterman looked at Qi Leran with amazing eyes, as if he had discovered the new world.
"It smells so good! Can I eat it?!" Michael swallowed the uncontrollable saliva, looked straight at the meat skewers in Qi Leran's hand and murmured.
"How do you grab something and sprinkle it with your hands?! Can such an unhygienic thing be eaten?" Rena, Jennifer and Davis said loudly in surprise and disgust.
Travis frowned, as if someone owed her 100 million, and kept silent from beginning to end.
Qi Leran didn't expect that he was quite talented. It seems that he really didn't pass by the barbecue street behind his house all day long!
He walked up to the crowd with a smile, put the grilled kebabs in his hand on the empty plate prepared on the table, and said to everyone with a smile, "Hurry up and try it. After passing this village, there will be no such shop!"
Just when everyone was still hesitantly looking at the slightly burnt meat skewers on the table, but with an unfamiliar aroma, Michael had already impatiently picked up two skewers at a time and stuffed them into his mouth at the same time, while being scalded. Exhaling, he kept stuffing it into his mouth, and at the same time uttered vague words such as "delicious, really fragrant" from time to time.
The crowd was in a flash, and most of the meat skewers on the table were gone. Seeing that the meat skewers were about to disappear, the remaining few people quickly reached out and took each skewer. After hesitating for a while, they opened their mouths Hesitantly took a small bite, the aroma of marinated mutton mixed with unfamiliar seasonings instantly filled the mouth, and several people unknowingly sped up the movements of their hands.
Interested, Qi Leran picked some others and roasted them on the fire. At the beginning, for those scary-looking things, such as chicken heads, chicken feet, etc., which few of them had never seen before, they had to put them in Qi Leran Under the suggestion of the beer bottle to decide who to eat, it was like a punishment. Later, after eating the taste, they rushed to eat, and the hands were fast, and the hands were slow. In the end, everyone drank too much.
Seeing Qi Leran who has been grilling for everyone at the charcoal stove, and he hardly ate anything, Sterman felt distressed, ran to him and stood beside him and kept feeding him, and then insisted on pulling him to rest, Don't let him get tired anymore.
In order to eat delicious food, Michael and his brothers with big appetites had to bake it by themselves. Although the taste was not good, it was still edible, and Michael secretly drank several bottles of beer while Qi Leran was not paying attention. After drinking it, I have no scruples. Drinking in a big bowl and eating meat in big mouthfuls are the true qualities of a hero!
Qi leran, who was just joking with him, naturally didn't really care about him. He leaned on Sterman's shoulder and drank beer after a sip after eating.
The friends around me were eating, drinking and laughing, leaning in the arms of their beloved, looking up at the bright stars in the sky, the happiness of life was nothing more than that, Qi Leran, who was tired all day, fell asleep slowly In the past, there was still a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, life is obviously not only about happiness. The happiness at this moment can certainly be imprinted in our hearts and become the driving force for us to move forward, but in the future we will have to work hard step by step.
Qi Leran didn't know how Sterman resolved with the cabinet members the matter of using the roof of the national government building as a roadside barbecue stall the next day, and he didn't have the energy to take care of these things, because the endless daily This strange homework has exhausted him.
As the day when the crown prince and his wife of country d came to visit is getting closer, Qi Leran's life is getting more and more difficult. Although he is not quick to sharpen his guns before the battle, it is not enough in the eyes of the members of the royal family who have received noble education since childhood. I'm afraid In a few rounds, it will be exposed.
But Qi Leran couldn't say what he didn't want to learn, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
One week before the visit of the crown prince and his wife of country d, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of country d sent the itinerary of the crown prince and his wife in country h in the next few days, and negotiated with country h in advance.
Generally, this so-called consultation is to say hello in advance, so that the visited country can prepare in advance. After all, the people who come to visit will not bring up anything that involves state secrets and will embarrass the visited country.
But Qi Leran held the itinerary in his hand, but his eyes widened, and he shouted in surprise, "What is this and what is it! This is my life!"
