Section 111 Outside Lyon

The milky white T-G-V train is galloping on the electrified railway from Paris to Lyon.

On the morning of that day, when we set out from Paris, there was still a fine rain in the sky. But after more than an hour of travel and passing through Dijon Station, the sun showed a familiar face from the floating clouds.

In the cool first-class carriage, Shangguan Ling was dressed in light blue fashion, leaning against the back, and was enjoying the countryside scenery passing by outside the window. Her slender and upright neck, fair and delicate face, set off by the flashing crystal light on her earlobes and hairpins, was indescribable dignity and elegance. Even a person like Long Yun, who was focused on sitting next to her, could not help but peek at her from time to time. Beautiful things were probably so fascinating.

But at this moment, because of some thoughts, his mood may not be very good.

First, he did not follow his dissuasion, Shangguan Ling went out for a long trip wearing diamond jewelry that was like a fake bag. In this place where thieves were rampant, he added a lot of pressure to his bodyguard; second, it was about 500 kilometers from Paris to Lyon, and he didn't expect that driving would take too much time, so Shangguan Ling chose the high-speed railway without any surprise, which meant that the investigation of going to the small town of Colbini was completely ruined.

Thinking about the current situation in the parallel world, Long Yun felt a little depressed. He didn’t necessarily travel back and sat in the bottom of the detention room?

Forget it! Let’s talk about the matter over there. At worst, you can’t break up, use handcuffs to grab weapons and hold hostages and then run away with the armed forces! Sometimes people can’t be too lawful, even if they are ace pilots. Looking around the carriage, the people in the first class are still relatively lawful. He didn’t find any suspicious characters, so he turned to Shangguan Ling to ask tentatively.

"Ms. Shangguan... Are we the only two of us going on vacation this time?"

"..." Turning to look at Long Yun, Shangguan Ling didn't answer at first, as if he was considering whether to follow Long Yun's words.

"I mainly go to see friends, not for vacation. You are escorting me, not for vacation."

"Oh, oh." Long Yun knew that his employer was still in a grudge, but he still had a glimmer of hope: "Then, should we go to the department when we come back-"

"Kolbini? What's wrong with you? Why is that place so charming?" Shangguan Ling waved his hand, as if he wanted to drive this idea away from Long Yun's head: "——Have you reflected on Gao Lu in the Louvre before?"

Reflection? Long Yun looked embarrassed. He didn't expect Shangguan Ling's personality to be so straightforward. "That..."

"Hmph." Long Yun's eyes were pale with a little dissatisfaction. Shangguan Ling didn't plan to let Long Yun go like this.

"I will learn this kind of nonsense to Sister Su. It would be strange if she didn't drive you out of the house."

"Turn out of the house? - But it's not my house, we have nothing! Don't get me wrong!" Look at what she said, I don't know what she was thinking? Long Yun felt that there was a big ambiguity in this, so he quickly defended himself, but in the end he exposed his bad ideas and became darker and darker.

Being confused by Long Yun's words, Shangguan Ling understood what he meant. At first, he seemed quite angry, but immediately turned red and white again. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, she shook her head, and then continued to look at the scenery outside the window after giving Long Yun a conclusion.

"Forget it. You are a person who is very reliable in doing things, but you are confused and have no idea about speaking."

...

After passing through France, it was also the first high-speed railway in Europe. The train stopped at Lyon Station. When he arrived at the small square outside the station, Long Yun looked around curiously.

The second largest city in France looks like a huge garden decorated with buildings. Just in front of them, there are staggered modern buildings on both sides of the neat streets; fashionable trams shuttle by and look around. From a distance, there are scattered lush green everywhere. Just on the river bank not far away, I don’t know if it’s the cool breeze on the Rhone or the Sona River blew over, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Is this the famous European industrial center before? Long Yun felt it was an eye-opener, and the geographical knowledge he learned was a bit outdated now.

It was originally full of curiosity, and Long Yun wanted to take a walk around the city; it is said that there are 31 museums in this city with a population of less than 500,000, but unfortunately Shangguan Ling did not give him this opportunity. He came to greet them near the station, drove out of the city and headed south, passing through the beautiful open countryside, until the outline of the manor building appeared in his sight.

"That should be Brittany Manor." Seeing Long Yun's curiosity, Shangguan Ling briefly introduced it to him. The Steele family lives there. She met the younger generation of this family during student exchange activities. After learning that wine is produced here, she decided to come and inspect it when she has the chance.

"It is said that the wines here are of good quality, but they are not very famous." Shangguan Ling whispered to Long Yun in Chinese, "It is quite appropriate to give them to someone. And I miss my friends very much, and I always want to come and have a look."

"French wine?" Long Yun had no research on this drink. He only vaguely remembered that the wines in Bordeaux were of high quality, and other knowledge was very poor. Seeing that he had nothing to say, Shangguan Ling didn't care.

"Actually, I don't quite understand what the difference between wines from different origins, years and even storage places is. But if you give them to others, it is still necessary to pay attention to some things. The so-called "subject to their preferences: Since some people think they can taste it, it is a good quality. I don't care about the others and I'm not interested in them."

Long Yun nodded. In fact, he felt that his boss was the same. With her straightforward personality, he was not very good at paying attention to the complex hobbies of rich people. Rich people always enjoyed it like horse hunting, wine foie gras sauce, etc., but to put it bluntly, what is the difference between different wines? This may have, maybe not, and it is almost the same if it is a psychological effect.

In a blink of an eye, the car had already entered the manor gate, and Long Yun saw a slim figure standing at the gate of the villa from afar. When the car drove closer, he saw clearly that it was a young blonde girl wearing a light pink shirt and white trousers, waving to their car.

Oh, probably this is the communication student Shangguan Ling met before.

Somehow, when he heard what Shangguan Ling said before, because he and she were not distinguished in Chinese, Long Yun was a little uneasy. When he saw the car stop and Shangguan Ling who walked out of the car hugging the girl affectionately, he was sure that his guess was true, and then he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

What kind of mentality is this? Long Yun is not very clear, or is a little reluctant to think too much; he grabbed his bag and got out of the car, and returned the blonde girl who was looking over with a sincere smile.
