It's always nice to meet friends from the same country, and that evening, the four of them got together to enjoy a Maldivian buffet.
Maldives seafood varieties rich and fresh, all kinds of seafood cuisine is very much, a variety of tropical fruits have everything, even if the chef here cooking skills as long as the history of heaven, but Xu Xu sea breeze, bright full moon, bright lights under the seascape, enough to make up for the heavenly people to raise grizzled stomach.
Tasting slightly Indian flavored food, drinking Maldivian Lady (a strong, fragrant local concoction of cocktails, is no alcohol). Zhang Jingxin and Ms. Wang quickly chatted together, Tingting was not interested in the two adults full of financial and current affairs, only grabbed Du Zhen to chat with her.
"My classmates are so childish, there's really a generation gap between me and them!" Tingting looked sad.
"Oh, there is a generation gap?" Du Zhen looked at the little girl who was only a little over ten years old with amusement, was Tingting eleven or twelve now? Du Zhen couldn't recall.
"My teachers don't understand me either, they always pay the most attention to students' grades!" Tingting forked up a piece of fruit and threw it in her mouth, continuing to complain to Du Zhen, it was rare for an adult to listen to her in a serious manner, making Tingting feel like she had met her soulmate.
"Tingting, as a teacher the main thing is to teach students knowledge, good or bad grades are a measure of how much knowledge is acquired." Du Zhen was thinking in his heart, you are not need to focus on this, because your mother has already arranged a carefree future for you.
"My biggest pain in the ass is politics! Why do you deduct all my points for two phrases in reverse order?" Tina let out her anger by taking a big gulp of fruit juice.
Du Zhen laughed without saying anything, because the order of the phrases was reversed, and their meanings were also reversed. What is politics? The difference is as great as a mile. But if you explain all this to an eleven or twelve year old girl, she won't understand, and she'll understand only when she grows up later.
The buffet for four didn't end until after 9:00, and Tingting and Du Zhen chattered for nearly two hours without a single mention of her father. Ms. Wang always gazed lovingly at her daughter during the gaps in her conversation with Zhang Jingxin. Her husband only came home on New Year's Eve to celebrate New Year's Eve, and disappeared after the third day of the first month of the lunar calendar. In order to prevent her daughter from feeling too much about her father not staying at home all New Year's Eve, Ms. Wang had decided to take her daughter out for a trip.
After a few days, the four grouped together to the Maldives to play everywhere, Tingting and Du Zhen's friendship is dramatically deepened, of course, the depth of the friendship between these two people are Tingting set their own. In the Maldives on the last day, the four would have liked to go out to sea fishing, with breakfast when the chapter Jingxin met a familiar European celebrities, this celebrity age is probably in the fifties, pot-bellied, but with a wonderful blonde beauty, obviously, is the celebrity with a lover to spend a romantic vacation. The celebrity was very happy to meet the president of Zhang's, the two agreed to go to the hotel to discuss business, Du Zhen and Ms. Wang, they also canceled the fishing fishing entertainment projects, and changed to the beach sunbathing to go.
Du Zhen was lounging on a mat soaking up the equatorial sun, Ting Ting was beside him trying to yard a castle with sand, and Ms. Wang was chatting with a fat Taiwanese woman not far away.
Maldives in addition to the beautiful scenery, another major feature is the beauty, squinting Du Zhen looked not far from a European chestnut-haired woman, chest waves are too rough, Du Zhen looked really worried about her swimsuit.
"What are you looking at?" Ting Ting stopped the construction work and questioned Du Zhen who was looking dumbfounded.
"I'm thinking about the harmonization of human body proportions!" Du Zhen stroked his chin with one hand and answered Tingting very seriously.
"Oh, thinking about it?" Tina looked back at the beach in the distance, besides her mother and the fat Taiwanese woman, it was a few European and American men and women playing beach volleyball there.
Ting Ting didn't think there was anything to see and turned her head to talk to Du Zhen.
The equatorial sun didn't tan Du Zhen's white, greasy skin, which was only a little bit like it had been smeared with honey, and Du Zhen's slightly squinted eyes and slightly curled mouth gave Du Zhen a sort of playfulness.
"Du Zhen, you're so good looking!" Tingting tilted her head in a serious manner to praise Du Zhen. Ever since Tingting thought that she and Du Zhen were one country, how she refused to listen to her mom and call Du Zhen uncle, but instead called him by his first name.
"Eh! Thanks for the compliment! Tingting will be a beauty in the future too!" Du Zhen had heard too many compliments on his looks, and suddenly giving a compliment to an eleven or twelve year old girl for the first time was a bit embarrassing.
"That's for sure, I'm going to be beautiful later on! My mom has told me that hundreds of times!" Tingting was very unimpressed by Du Zhen's casual praise.
Du Zhen looked at Ting Ting with a raised eyebrow, Ting Ting hadn't seen such confidence in front of him in his previous life.
"Du Zhen, when I grow up later, will you come and marry me?" Tingting was full of hope.
Du Zhen was startled and looked closely at the little girl in front of him, who had two pure eyes and an innocent expression.
Du Zhen put her heart down, this little girl's proposal to Du Zhen was like a castle of sand she was building, very attentive, childlike attentiveness.
"No, I'll be old when you grow up!" Du Zhen stroked Ting Ting's head in refusal.
"Why can't you wait for me to grow up and go old first?" Tingting lost it, she forgot that while she was growing up, Du Zhen was also experiencing the passage of years.
"Why does Tina want to marry me?"
"You're good looking!" Tina's reasoning was so straightforward.
"Tingting, have you seen that foreigner?" Du Zhen pointed to a middle-aged European who was playing beach volleyball.
"Well, see."
"When Tingting grows into a beautiful woman, Du Zhen is going to be like him, will you still propose to Du Zhen like that?"
Tina's head shook like a rattle as she looked at the middle-aged European whose hair had become Mediterranean and whose nose had become a wine stain.
"So, it's only appropriate for Tingting to consider a marriage partner when she's old enough to consider marriage, when handsome men will be at your disposal." Du Zhen smiled as she patted the scared little girl.
"Oh, that's true!" Tina didn't mind at all that her first ever failed marriage proposal.
"Du Zhen, don't be sad, even if you get old and ugly in the future, we are still one country, I won't mind you." Tingting saw Du Zhen looking at the sea in the distance out of focus, thinking Du Zhen was sad that his handsome looks would not be there in the future, so she couldn't help but comfort him.
"Good, when I'm too old to walk, Little Tingting and I will still be one nation!" Du Zhen laughed at Ting Ting's words.
At noon, Zhang Jingxin and Du Zhen came back to the resort hotel to enjoy a meal of French cuisine. Du Zhen and Zhang Jingxin living together for almost a year, on the French food has been a little used to, the Maldives is different from the taste of heaven's food, eat too much will be very tired, now with the French food for a change of taste is still good. For Tingting, after eating Maldivian food for two or three days, she felt uncomfortable and began to miss the various delicacies of Shanghai. Ms. Wang comforted her by the side, as long as she stayed up for one more day, she could arrive home tomorrow, and at that time, she could eat whatever her daughter wanted.
Du Zhen pursed the red wine and laughed, it seems that mortals are mortals, heaven can only be briefly patronized, the mortal world is where you live.
Ms. Wang afternoon nap to get up, found her daughter is not in the room, the daughter's disappearance, Ms. Wang is not anxious, Tingting does not have the spirit of adventure, like the sea these may be dangerous places she never went alone, the reason for the disappearance of the reason is probably the same as a few days ago, to go to the chapter of the Jingxin and Du Zhen's sea-viewing villa, to look for Du Zhen to go.
Ms. Wang looked at the beautiful scenery outside and thought that she would leave tomorrow. Even though she had lived there for a long time and missed her hometown in her heart, she couldn't get enough of the beautiful scenery. Ms. Wang picked up her digital camera, wanting to take a few more pictures, and then put them on her computer to savor them when she returned home.
While choosing the scenery, Ms. Wang walked towards the sea view villa where Zhang Jingxin and Du Zhen lived, maybe Tingting was already in their villa now. Ms. Wang turned into a long corridor, her footsteps stopped still, at the end of the corridor there are two people kissing, it is Du Zhen and Zhang Jingxin two people.
Du Zhen leaned on the railing of the promenade with one hand on the railing and one hand on Zhang Jingxin's shoulder, while Zhang Jingxin had one hand on Du Zhen's waist and one hand on the back of Du Zhen's head. In the distance, the sea water is blue, the beach is white, the vegetation on the island is green, and the two men kissing, one is as handsome as jade, and the other is handsome and upright, truly a perfect picture.
Ms. Wang froze to look at, only feel a set of beauty in front of people shocked, she did not even think about it, raised the camera to shoot down the beauty of this, shot before feeling reckless, and hastily and gently away. Ms. Wang's shoes with soft soles, walking without sound, immersed in kissing in the two, did not perceive anyone came, still in that forgetful tenderness.
According to studies, the sea water is eating up the small islands of the Maldives at a rate of two centimeters per year, and in 50 years, the sea water here will overflow over the idle islands, over the big wooden houses and those soft sandy beaches, and in the end, all that will be left will probably be the blue sky and the sea. This beautiful, paradisiacal beauty will disappear into the sea. The sandy beach, green trees and small islands in that painting will disappear later, and when will the beautiful tenderness of the two people in the painting disappear?
The Maldives is a place so beautiful that it scares people and makes them cry, and this place that God has forgotten is eventually going to be recovered by God, and the beauty is going to disappear, and the tenderness is really there? Ms. Wang only felt blurred in front of her eyes, she used her hand to wipe, but it was full of tears.
Early the next morning, the four of them boarded a seaplane and flew away from the island, going to the Maldives airport to catch a flight back to Shanghai.
"Mao Mao, if you want to come to the Maldives again in the future, you can come when you have a long vacation, next time I come I can find an acquaintance and borrow his private water villa for a while, and it's more comfortable to live there." Zhang Jingxin saw Du Zhen looking at the Maldives under the airplane and couldn't take his eyes off it, thinking that Du Zhen was in love with the place.
Du Zhen smiled back and didn't respond. He just felt that the Maldives would disappear from the Indian Ocean in the future because she was too beautiful, a sin, and no wonder the heavens would take it back.
When they arrived in Shanghai it was already afternoon, Zhuang Shunde and Uncle Li were already waiting in the passageway with Zhang Jingxin and Du Zhen's coats, while the driver from Ms. Wang's family was already there to greet them. Tingting and Du Zhen pulled a hook and made Du Zhen promise not to forget her before she and her mother bid farewell to Du Zhen and Zhang Jingxin and got on the car that came up to meet them to go home. Du Zhen followed Uncle Li's Bentley back to the villa, while Zhang Jingxin had to go back to the company with his assistant Zhuang Shunde, who had gone to the Maldives for a ten-day vacation, and the company had accumulated too much official business, which he had to deal with right away at the company.
"Mao Mao, you have dinner first tonight, don't wait for me, I don't know when I'll be back at the villa."
Before getting into the car, Zhang Jingxin pulled Du Zhen over and was going to give him a farewell kiss, but he didn't want Du Zhen's head to tilt and his body to back up slightly.
"Uh-huh." Du Zhen's lowered head replied to Zhang Jing Xin.
Zhang Jingxin looked around the bustling crowd, reacted to the fact that they were no longer in the paradise of the world, but back to the earthly world, his fur began to be embarrassed again, and could not help but pull one of Du Zhen's hands, squeezing a few times before letting go and getting into the car to the company.
Du Zhen sat in Uncle Li's Bentley, gazing at the car window scene, feeling that the gap is really a bit big, is it from heaven to the mortal world are like this?
