Chapter 123 No One Is Home Today

Speaking of San Francisco, Li Xiaofan immediately thought of Stanford University, located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in California, USA, close to Silicon Valley. Jerry Yang, who is from Taiwan, is studying for a doctorate at Stanford University.

He blurted out: "Xinyi, is there any way to go to San Francisco as soon as possible to try your second sister's food?"

"Isn't it very simple? Just buy a ticket and fly there!"

"It's easy for you. Your Singaporean passport is visa-free for traveling to the United States. Our Chinese passport is not, so we need to apply for a visa..."

"Then go to the US Embassy in Singapore to apply for a visa to the US!"

"Applying for a visa requires a suitable reason and an invitation letter from the United States. Moreover, the United States is very strict in reviewing visas for Chinese citizens coming to the United States. It is said that the pass rate is not high..."

"If you really want to travel to the United States, then I will ask my second sister and the others to send you an invitation!"

"Even if your second sister sends an invitation letter, I'm wondering, what is the connection between your second sister's Chinese restaurant and our Singapore Yifan Company? Can they convince the consulate officials to grant me a visa?"

"Because you and I are both shareholders of Singapore Yifan Company, and the second sister is my biological sister!"

"This is indeed a reason, but it seems not enough!"

"By the way, I remembered that Mr. Abboud from Dubai said that those plastic daily necessities seem to be supplied to a supermarket chain in the United States. Maybe you can ask Mr. Abboud to ask the American importer to send you an invitation letter!"

"This is their trade secret. Abboud and the others certainly don't want us to know who the American importer is, so I guess it's quite embarrassing!"

“If that doesn’t work, just say that Second Sister’s restaurant needs to purchase a large amount of plastic lunch boxes for microwave ovens provided by our Singapore Yifan Company, and we need to go over and negotiate in person!”

"Hey, you have a good idea! Just say that your second sister and their restaurant need to purchase a large number of customized take-out lunch boxes, and our Singapore Yifan Company is responsible for customizing and supplying them. This is indeed a reason!"

"Fan, I guess it won't be a big problem, because the relationship between Singapore and the United States is quite good. You are now a shareholder of a Singapore company, and I think the embassy should give you a visa! If not, just say that I am your fiancée. I guarantee you, can’t we go see the second sister together?”

"Haha, your reason is so awesome!"

"Haha, let's just say that first!"

…

The film "A Date in Paris" by the famous French director Rohmer that Li Xiaofan and Tang Xinyi watched actually told three stories about cheating encounters.

The first story is similar to a "polyamory" love story. It tells the story of a girl who found out that her boyfriend cheated on her, and the other girl who cheated on him was the one who found her wallet. Several people met together by chance, and ended up like a girl. A bloody love drama that ended on bad terms...

In the second story, a man almost exhausted all his strength to persuade a woman to leave her original boyfriend and look forward to spending time with him. Just when he was about to succeed, the girl discovered that her "ex-boyfriend" She was already one step ahead of her and had an affair with someone else, so she expressed her dissatisfaction... In the movie, cheating men and women go to a new park every time they have an affair. The two cheating men and women took the audience almost all over Paris. All parks in...

The third story describes a dissatisfied painter's failed experience of "seducing a girl". The story is very boring, but it allows the audience to appreciate a large number of Picasso's wonderful paintings in the Picasso Museum...

After watching this movie, viewers such as Li Xiaofan will feel that Parisians have a very open and romantic view of love. You can be moved by love at any time, and you can fall in love with others at any time.

It seems that in the eyes of the French, sensibility and emotion come first, as if cheating is as common a thing as eating.

In the movie, their feelings always seem to be so abundant and rich. They can say love to many people, but love is not eternal. When the love fades, they will always turn around and start falling in love with another person...

After watching it, Tang Xinyi was slightly disappointed with this French movie.

When he came out of the cinema, his neighbor, who had Li Xiaofan on his arm, said angrily: "If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you to see this movie. There's so much mess in it! Fan, will you ever be as passionate as the French man in the movie?" , So carefree?”

"Haha, men and women are the same! French girls in movies are also very affectionate and romantic. So will you be as affectionate and love-minded as French women in movies?"

Tang Xinyi said angrily: "Fuck you, I won't do it!"

"Isn't it said that Italian men are also very romantic? A beautiful woman like you must have been very popular when she was studying in Italy, right?"

"Hehe, Italian men do like to strike up conversations and have a lot of affection. They seem to be very romantic, but I don't like them. They are too affectionate and too promiscuous! It's okay to be ordinary friends with them, but definitely not to be boyfriend and girlfriend. I can't stand their abuse. Love! If I am with a sentimental and carefree man, I would rather die alone..."

Tang Xinyi looked up at Li Xiaofan and changed the topic: "Fan, have you had a girlfriend in mainland China before?"

Li Xiaofan smiled and said: "No! I'm still virgin..."

In front of girls, especially girls like Tang Xinyi who may have mysophobia, Li Xiaofan felt that he had to insist that he was a chick.

"Really?" Tang Xinyi stared playfully into Li Xiaofan's eyes, expressing a little doubt.

Li Xiaofan smiled and nodded: "Yes! It's absolutely true..."

"But I feel like it's not..."

"Why?"

"It's just a feeling..."

"Can you feel this kind of thing?"

"Um……"

Li Xiaofan teased: "Then, dear, do you want me to have your whole body examined?"

After hearing this, Tang Xinyi's face turned slightly red, "Haha, go to hell!" She angrily pinched Li Xiaofan's arm with her little hand.

Li Xiaofan exaggeratedly shouted: "It hurts!"

Tang Xinyi said distressedly: "Does it really hurt?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't mean that hitting is kissing and scolding is love! I like it!"

"Haha! Are you a masochist?"

"Well, I like strong flavors!"

"But I like lighter flavors, what should I do?"

"Haha, let's eat it cold!"

After coming out of Shaw Towers, Tang Xinyi took Li Xiaofan to Orchard Road, a Snack Bar called Magnolia, which she liked very much when she was a child. It is probably called Mulan Shu Restaurant in Chinese.

It contains the banana splits, hot dogs, burgers, Milo milkshakes and other delicacies she loved to eat in her childhood.

The red leather booth-style seats in the small restaurant retain the American nostalgic style of the year.

The first delicacy Tang Xinyi ordered for Li Xiaofan was called Stamford Burger, which was actually a charcoal-grilled pulled pork burger.

The soft and tender pulled pork inside the burger has a texture similar to pork floss. It tastes great when paired with a large amount of mayonnaise, onions and rocket.

The side dish is crispy fried fries.

Taking a big bite of the pulled pork charcoal burger, served with onion rings and French fries, and then a sip of ice coke made Li Xiaofan feel extremely satisfied!

"Is it delicious?" Tang Xinyi asked, seeing Li Xiaofan eating with gusto.

"Well, it's really delicious! When I'm with you, everything I eat tastes delicious!"

"Hehe, your little mouth is so sweet! Come on, let me try my New York hot dog for you!"

Tang Xinyi ordered a classic New York hot dog for herself. The pork sausage was covered with mustard, ketchup, onions and pickled cucumbers, and paired with crispy fried sweet potato strips. At first glance, it reminded people of scenes from American movies.

The two of them were biting each other's delicious food, just like a young man and woman in love. The sweet dog food was spread all over the Magnolia store.

Xinyi also ordered the store’s classic onion salad, Nutella hazelnut chocolate milkshake, banana split ice cream and other snacks and desserts.

After eating, Li Xiaofan touched his bulging belly and said, "Honey, it's so delicious! I feel like your delicious food at noon today will make me gain three pounds. I exercised in vain the past few days!"

"Haha, then after you rest for a while, go swimming at my house!"

"It's inconvenient. I always go to your house to swim! It doesn't feel good when your sister-in-law and eldest brother are here too!"

"It's okay! Dad moved to my sister's house this morning. My eldest brother and sister-in-law went to Johor Bahru today to attend a friend's wedding and have a wedding banquet. There is no one at home today!"
