“In Melbourne, most people still communicate in English, but in some suburbs, English is not the main language. If you stay here for a few days, we should not go there, but if you want to go, you can take a look.”
When Lin Yan heard this, she said, “no need to go, I don’t want to embarrass myself when I can’t communicate.”
Xiang Yimeng listened to Lin Yan’s words and said, “there are many places worth seeing in Melbourne. Your time is tight, so it’s okay if we don’t go there.”
After Xiang Yimeng said that, she looked at Lin Yan and did not refute. Instead, she looked at the scenery outside. She said, “Melbourne has a lot of Victorian buildings. The number is second only to London. There are also some Gothic buildings. They are all worth seeing. What you saw just now was a Victorian building.”
Lin Yan nodded, feeling that she had to do a good job of teaching Xiang Yimeng when she went abroad in the future. She did not want Xiang Yimeng to be so tired. While driving, she still had to explain the city to her.
…
Xiang Yimeng drove the car to the entrance of a hotel with a train station behind it. Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, “this is the riverside restaurant on the Yala River. The brightly lit buildings at night echo the quiet of the Yala River. It’s very beautiful.”
Lin Yan held Xiang Yimeng’s arm and said, “it’s so beautiful, Meng. There are still people drinking beer over there. Let’s Go and drink some too.”
Xiang Yimeng nodded and walked over with Lin Yan. The two of them sat on their seats and looked at the lights outside. Lin Yan felt that this kind of life was something she had never thought of before. She felt very happy about this trip.
In the early morning, Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, “are you tired? If you’re not tired, I’ll take you to another place.”
Because the two of them had drunk, they called for a car. In the car, Lin Yan was still excitedly talking to Xiang Yimeng about everything.
Before the car reached the location, they heard a deafening sound outside an alley. This made Lin Yan even more excited. Xiang Yimeng led Lin Yan into an alley and said, “this is Hardwell Alley. We’re very lucky today to have heard jazz.”
Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng released themselves to their hearts’ content here, infecting the people around them with their own enthusiasm. It was not until the sky was slightly bright that Xiang Yimeng and Lin Yan reluctantly went home.
When they got home, the two of them fell asleep and only woke up slightly around ten in the morning.
After getting up, Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng tidied themselves up. Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, “I’m going to fry an egg and make a sandwich. You drink a cup of warm water first.”
Lin Yan nodded. Out of curiosity, she followed Xiang Yimeng into the kitchen. Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, “do you want to try?” Lin Yan nodded and said with a smile, “okay.”
After dinner, the two of them took a taxi to the place where they parked the car last night. Then, they went straight to the Chadstone shopping center.
Lin Yan felt her shopping desire grow stronger. She looked at Hugo Boss, Chanel, Prada, and all the familiar brands and felt her whole body boiling, especially when a shop occupied a huge area.
Xiang Yimeng and Lin Yan shuttled from shop to shop. Soon, their hands were filled with shopping bags.
Xiang Yimeng looked at the regretful Lin Yan and said, “let’s put the things in the car first. Later, I’ll take you to the Emporium.”
Lin Yan felt that her fashion sense had come alive again, so she pulled Xiang Yimeng and started buying everything. In the end, the car could no longer fit them, they asked the staff of the shopping center to send the things home.
After shopping, Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng walked to a Japanese food store. Xiang Yimeng and Lin Yan ordered seaweed fries and beef rice according to their preferences.
The two of them felt a little tired after eating their fill, so they agreed to go to the supermarket and go home. The two of them tidied up their things when they went home. The already crowded cloakroom seemed to have more items.
Thus, Lin Yan said to Xiang Yimeng, “Meng, how much longer are you going to stay here?”
Xiang Yimeng replied casually, “about a year or so. Why? Did you find that you can’t leave me?”
Lin Yan nodded and said, “do you want to convert the bedroom next door into a cloakroom? If you’re afraid, I’ll come over and sleep with you.”
Xiang Yimeng felt that Lin Yan’s words made sense, so she said, “okay, that’s fine too. I’ll start looking for someone to renovate it next week.”
Lin Yan looked at the crowded cloakroom and nodded. She hugged Xiang Yimeng and felt that she liked Xiang Yimeng more and more. If she left this city, Xiang Yimeng would probably be very sad. Then, she let go of Xiang Yimeng.
Xiang Yimeng did not react to Lin Yan’s actions. She was used to it.
