Chapter 126
Chapter 126
After dinner, Hugh and Yeli sat aside and studied the map: "If we take the bus, it's an hour's drive from the runway site in Frankfurt."
Mikhail glanced out the window: "It's so late, you guys still have to go out to check the runway?"
Hugh nodded: "Night is the time when the utilization rate of the runway is the highest." Hugh was a little strange, Mihail was always the most willing to travel at night.
Yeli stood up: "Let's go." Hesla and Adolf also stood up and prepared to go.
Mihail glanced at the wall clock unwillingly, Hugh said: "Mihail, if you are tired, you can rest here first."
Mikhail supported his forehead and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Watching the backs of the group of four gradually go away, Mihaier sent a message to Zhou Yan depressedly: "You are too unpunctual."
The phone screen lit up, Zhou Yan saw Mihaier's complaint message, and quickly replied: "The plane is delayed, we will arrive in half an hour."
Hugh's family was truly aristocratic. It was a gorgeous castle like in a fairy tale, hidden among rolling highlands and lush vegetation. The carvings on the pillars beside the main entrance of the castle were exquisite and delicate.The door was ajar, Zhou Yan and Brett climbed up the winding road set up in the castle, Mihail, who was already drowsy from waiting, was awakened by the vibrating mobile phone, and the screen displayed: "We are here."
Mihaier walked into the garden, just in time to see Brett and Zhou Yan coming out of the corner, Zhou Yan wiped off the sweat on her forehead with her hand: "I finally know why you and Hugh can maintain such a good figure."
Brett didn't look as tired as Zhou Yan, he asked calmly, "Where's Hugh?"
Michael replied, "I'm not sure if you guys came, so I didn't tell them, Hugh and Kari went to check the runway that had been laid before."
"OK," Zhou Yan nodded bluntly, "It's just enough time to prepare a birthday surprise for him."
"Birthday surprise?" Mihail asked with interest, while Brett looked at Zhou Yan with a questioning look.
Zhou Yan took out a few notes and a balloon bag from the bulging backpack: "Excuse me, let's blow up the balloon together, and then put the note in."
Brett leaned over to Zhou Yan, looked at the familiar characters on the note, and said in a flat tone: "I thought we were just here to attend Hugh's birthday party, but I didn't expect you to specially prepare a surprise for him .”
Mikhail said beside him, fearing that the world would not be chaotic: "If you know everything in advance, it won't be a surprise, Brett."
Zhou Yan pressed Brett's shoulder with a dry smile, and threw a warning look at Mihaier: "After all, Hugh helped us so much before, it's normal for us to repay him, right?"
Brett took the balloon and note from Zhou Yan's hand noncommittally: "Okay, I will wait to see how you perform on my birthday next month."
"Based on the wear and tear of the runway today, the frequency of maintenance on the runway can be reduced to once a quarter," Hugh said.
Kari pondered: "That's right, I think, recently, many four-wheel drive driving ranges have been established in the city, and the frequency of use of the open-air track has naturally been reduced."
Hesla said: "We have persisted in the promotion of four-wheel drive vehicles for so many years, and finally we are gradually getting on the right track."
"That's right," Karma's voice was mixed with a tone of nostalgia, "When the four-wheel drive competition was just emerging, we could only borrow football or basketball courts."
Hugh saw from the garden that the living room not far away was pitch black, and he said a little strangely, "Mihaile rested so early?"
Hugh pushed open the door, groped to the wall, and was about to turn on the switch of the chandelier, when he heard pleasant piano music, accompanied by the sound of the trolley gears turning.For some unknown reason, Hugh watched as the cake tower covered with lamps was rolled out, and slowly walking out from the shadow behind the bouquet and cake were Michael, Brett and Ian.
"Happy birthday, Hugh." Brett walked up to Hugh first and shook hands with Hugh.
"These two unpunctual guys are finally here, happy birthday Hugh." Mikhail happily walked to Hugh.
"Hugh," Zhou Yan walked over last, she smiled brightly, "Not just today, I hope you can feel comfortable and happy every day."
Someone turned on the chandelier, and for a moment the bright light made Hugh squint his eyes uncomfortably. He looked at the cake tower and jokingly said, "Mihail, you've been here for so long, and I didn't realize you were hiding so much. Big secret."
Mikhail shrugged: "This is an urgent delivery cake just called, I didn't expect to make such a big fuss."
Hugh glanced at Brett who seemed to be a little helpless. Among the three people present, only one person had such a delicate thought.Hugh smiled lightly: "Okay, then I have received Ian's gift, Brett, where is your gift?"
"No hurry, no hurry," Zhou Yan pushed the cake tower aside, and then took out a bunch of balloons from the corner, "Their gifts are all in these balloons, you can choose."
Hugh watched as Zhou Yan took out colorful balloons, vaguely, there seemed to be written notes in the balloons.Hugh looked at Zhou Yan, her eyes were full of joy and joy, and she was no longer the melancholy and melancholy he saw at the beginning of the year.
Hugh pointed to the tallest balloon: "I'll choose that."
Zhou Yan jumped out the string of the balloon, walked to the open space next to her, and put her hands together forcefully.
After a "bang", the balloon exploded, and the note fell to the ground. Zhou Yan was startled by the loud noise, her hands were numb from the shock, and she quickly shook her hands.
Brett stepped forward to massage her palm with gentle force, and a complaining voice rang in her ear: "Pop the balloon, you don't need to be so hard."
Zhou Yan then bent down to pick up the note, and read out the words on it: "The hardcover DVD of the Atlanta Cup."
She opened her backpack, took out a gift box delicately wrapped in purple floral paper, and handed it to Hugh.
Kari said with great interest: "We asked the organizer before, and they said that this game will not be recorded on DVD."
Hugh unwrapped the package along the gap pasted by the floral paper. He saw his photo spray-painted on the DVD disc. Hugh laughed and said, "Ian, are you sure this is a gift from Brett?" This race was the most unforgivable loss in Brett's four-wheel drive career. In Hugh's perception, Brett should be more willing to destroy all the news reports and video materials of this race.
"Thank you." Zhou Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, took the stack of cakes that Adolf had just cut, "Brett found the original materials of these DVDs under my coercion, and I was responsible for the design and recording."
Hugh kept the DVD at hand: "Thank you very much, I will take it out and review it from time to time."
Brett glanced at Hugh flatly, not contradicting him for the first time.
"Then, the next one," Zhou Yan swallowed the big mouthful of cake she just threw into her mouth, and pulled the balloons over, "The next one is Mihail's gift."
Hugh disassembled one of the balloons, and gestured to the card on Zhou Yan's head with a gentlemanly hand: "Can you lend it to me temporarily?"
Zhou Yan quickly took off the hairpin, and Brett handed over a sentence coolly from the side: "I saw that there are all kinds of forks on your dining table."
Hugh smiled indifferently: "It's more convenient to use this." The balloon was lightly punctured by Hugh with a hairpin, and Hugh unfolded the note, which read "Make a special birthday drink by yourself."
Hugh chuckled and said, "Ian, are you sure this is a gift? I think it's more like a punishment, and it's a punishment for me."
Except for Mikhail, the other members of the German team all showed expressions of approval.Mihail, who loves sweets very much, once put an oven in the dormitory of the international school, and the final concocted results made each of them suffer a lot.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Mikhail stepped forward in dissatisfaction, and opened the wine cabinet on his own, "You have to believe that I am talented in bartending."
Zhou Yan stood next to Mihaier with great interest, watching him add ice cubes into the mixing cup.Michael pondered for a while in Hugh's rich and expensive store, and finally opened the brandy.Michael asked, "Hugh, where's all your sauce?"
Hugh suppressed a smile and replied, "Mihail, are you going to put black pepper or herb juice? Those are in the refrigerator."
Mihaier replied with a long tail: "Okay, I used the wrong word, where are your pomegranate juice, lemon juice and similar drinks?"
"It's at the bottom of the liquor cabinet."
Looking at the colorful glass bottles on the shelves, Mikhail couldn't make a choice, so he whispered, "Just put some of them all."
Lemon juice, tomato juice, pomegranate juice, soda water, pineapple juice, cranberry juice, sweet orange juice, and fresh cream were all put into the mixing cup by Mihail. Talking Hugh cast a sympathetic look.
Mikhail struggled to pick up the mixing cup and shook it left and right, the ice cubes collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
Hugh stopped talking, turned around and said, "Mihail, it seems that you have improved a lot compared to before."
Zhou Yan held back her laughter, Hugh, probably you won't feel so when you drink Mihaier's carefully prepared drink.
Mikhail poured the wine into the glass one by one, and everyone looked at the chaotic brown liquid in the glass in their hands, and they were sluggish.
Hugh couldn't get out of the crowd's focused eyes, so he had no choice but to take a sip with the thought of death, and the sour taste of a variety of fruit juices, and the taste of obviously exceeding the sugar content swept him.Hugh put down his wine glass and reluctantly commented: "The taste...is very special."
Kari then took a sip, and the overly complicated taste made him frown: "I agree with your point of view."
Zhou Yan was very puzzled when she heard Hugh Mi and Yeli's overly bland comments, she picked up the cup of liquid that she thought would not taste good, and took a sip of it——
Even though she was fully prepared, she still choked on the liquid filled with more than a dozen flavors.Coughing, Zhou Yan put on Mihaier's shoulder: "Mihaier, have you ever considered going to graduate school|chemical|weapon|weapon?"
