Chapter 140 Can I Be Your Oasis in the Desert
Hedy went to the street lamp and found that there was also a line of words left by Preston on the third cake package.
–Please go to Mochizuki Mountain by car.
Moon Moon Mountain is the highest mountain in San Francisco and one of the scenic spots in San Francisco.
Hedy looked left and right, and saw Aiden not far away. Aiden was standing next to the Rolls–Royce Phantom, and opened the rear door.
This is to tell Hedy that the car is also ready.
Holding the cake, Hedy walked over without knowing why, and asked. Aiden in a puzzled tone,
“Why did he ask me to go to Mountain?”
The “he” refers to Preston.
“You’ll know when you go.” Aiden stretched out his hand, “Don’t you happen to have nothing to do right now?”
Hedy had no words to refute.
She really has nothing else to do right now.
The trial mission (9) has just been completed, and the trial mission (10) has not yet been released.
The gap
between the two tasks, Hedy called it the intermission.
She got into the car, and while eating the cake, she thought about why
Preston used this method to let her go to Moon Mountain.
Wouldn’t it be more convenient to make a direct phone call, or send a message, or spread word of mouth?
Night fell.
Hedy came to Wangyue Mountain Scenic Area.
The lights in the scenic area are bright, and tourists pass by from time to time, laughing and happy.
When Hedy thought Aiden would drive into the main entrance, Aiden turned the steering wheel and turned her to a dark hill road.
Through the headlights, Hedy saw a small mango cake hanging from a tree branch at the intersection.
She opened the car door, walked to the tree, and saw the words on the cake packaging.
–Do you like this view?
Hedy frowned.
What scenery?
+
She pulled the cake down, as if she touched some switch, the dark mountain road was slowly lit up by small fluorescent lights from near to far.
Like a red carpet, stretching from Hedy’s feet to the interior of the forest.
Some of these fluorescent lights are mint green, some are lisianthus purple, some are camellia red, and some are
coiled on the treetops, hanging like Evan branches.
Some are hidden in the bushes, like small broken flowers.
Hedy froze for a moment,
She felt that she was Alice who had strayed into Wonderland, and these fluorescent lights were night elves guiding her.
So dreamy, so unrealistic.
She looked back at Aiden, who stood still and motioned for her to go
alone.
Hedy took the cake and walked forward.
This is an uphill road.
Halfway through the trip, Hedy was a little thirsty, and there was a gazebo in front of him.
The edge of the gazebo is wrapped with fluorescent lights, which is very eye–catching.
She walked over and saw a cake and a bottle of mineral water on the stone table in the pavilion.
Under the two things, there is a white sticky note, with flying and phoenix handwriting on the sticky note.
-May I be your oasis in the desert.
“…an oasis in the desert…”
The oasis is the most precious water source in the desert.
Vegetation grows near the water source, which is the place where birds and beasts continue their life, and it is also the place that lost
travelers most yearn for.
Hedy lowered his eyes, opened the lid of the mineral water, raised his head and took a sip, ate the cake, and went up the mountain with the
water.
Although she couldn’t figure out why Preston arranged it this way.
But the scenery and the cakes of so many flavors made her feel happy.
After a while, she came to the top of the mountain.
There is a flat land on the top of the mountain, with a white tent built, a folding table, a barbecue grill, a little seasoning, a little drink, a little food, and a very handsome man.
The man was Preston. He was wearing an expensive white shirt with the sleeves folded a few times. He was looking seriously at the grill and flipping the sizzling meat on the grill.
The scent got into Hedy’s nostrils and whetted her appetite.
But she was more curious about why Preston appeared here.
“Didn’t you say last night that you were going on a business trip today?” She walked to the opposite side of the grill.
Knowing that it was she who came, Preston didn’t look up, and said in a magnetic voice, “I heard that you got the No. 1 exam in the United States, so I came back to celebrate for you.”
Hedy froze for a moment, then shook his head, “It’s just a college entrance examination, it’s not worth your delay.”
The man in front of him was supposed to be negotiating cross–border business in other provinces.
Now she is on the top of the mountain, celebrating her American champion with a barbecue.
“You’re worth it.” Preston raised his head and handed her the grilled meat skewers, with the corners of his mouth raised,
“The college entrance examination is a very important event for students, and you won the top prize in the United States, which is even more worthy of celebration.”
Hedy took it Meat skewers, look at the cumin on it and lose your mind.
After a while, she murmured, “No one has ever celebrated for me like this.” In her
previous life in the slums, she saw other parents buying cakes for their children, and only then did she know that the day the child was born was the future “birthday“.
Only then did I know that “birthday” is used to celebrate.
Only then did I realize that besides “birthday“, there are many places to celebrate.
For example, the first full score, such as participating in a competition and getting a ranking, such as various examples.
She was not celebrated.
Neither in the ghetto, nor in the organization, neither.
The important days worth celebrating in the eyes of ordinary people, her eyes, are just the completion of one task, or the way to prepare to complete the task.
She is also used to this kind of life.
in
As noble as Preston, but gave up the multinational business that started at tens of billions, and returned to San Francisco to celebrate her number one in the US college entrance examination.
This feeling is indescribable.
