Chapter 288: Another Plan, Countermeasures (Part 2)
Since Frank has no problem communicating in English, why did he say in the email that he has a strong accent?
And he said that when he just met me.
At that time, he and Huo Fanjin probably didn't expect to meet at IPhO, right?
That rules out the possibility that this lie was fabricated to achieve some purpose in the competition.
After all, no matter how capable a person is, he cannot predict what will happen in the future. Even if he prepares for a rainy day, he cannot do it several years in advance.
Therefore, the fact that pen pal "Frank" speaks poor English and has a heavy accent is most likely true, not a lie.
But now this "Frank" clearly has no accent, yet he still needs to hire a translator. Perhaps he doesn't want to, but he has to do so because he has to fit the characteristics of his pen pal "Frank".
So--
These two Franks are most likely not the same person!
After realizing this, Jiang Fuyue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The other party is willing to go to such great lengths to impersonate someone else, I'm afraid he has some serious intentions!
…
When Frank returned to the bathroom, Jiang Fuyue had already taken a shortcut and returned before him.
The two nodded.
Frank had little interest in a translator, especially one so stuffy and conservative.
Is she forty years old?
The hat completely covered her eyebrows, the sunglasses completely blocked her eyes, and she was wearing a dull-colored, common-style casual suit, with no body curves at all.
Frank glanced away.
Thinking of Huo Fanjin's bright and beautiful appearance, she was such a beautiful oriental doll...
But that’s not the best.
The best one is the girl named Jiang Fuyue on her team. She has long legs, a slim waist, outstanding manners, and a wildness that is a combination of hotness and coldness all over her body. That is perfection.
Frank's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. A faint light appeared in his eyes, which was a hundred times more affectionate than when he faced Huo Fanjin.
Jiang Fuyue had no idea that the person next to her was fantasizing about her at the moment, but she was still keenly aware of the ambiguous and hormonal smell.
He took two steps away without making a sound.
After a while, Huo Fanjin came out.
Frank checked the time and suggested, "Since you're not going to the creek, how about I treat you to dinner?"
Jiang Fuyue didn't rummage around.
After hearing this, Huo Fanjin nodded directly: "Okay! I'm sorry to have cost you money."
Jiang Fuyue translated "I'm sorry to have cost you money" into "It's okay as long as you don't leave the hotel" and told Frank.
She really broke the heart of an old mother.
Frank seemed to have expected this and immediately said, "Don't worry, we won't go out. We'll just go to another restaurant in this hotel."
A five-star hotel, of course, has more than one restaurant.
The place where the participating teams from various countries ate was called a "buffet restaurant", which usually had the lowest meal standard. However, Frank took the two of them to a paid restaurant where they could order their own food.
He is generous and it can be seen that his family is well-off.
When asking Huo Fanjin what he wanted to eat, he was gentle and gentlemanly, and even took care of Jiang Fuyue, the ugly translator.
The performance is not bad.
At first, Huo Fanjin was quite satisfied, but when she accidentally saw the prices on the menu, she couldn't help frowning.
It's not that Miss Huo can't afford it, but...
"Captain," she turned to look at Jiang Fuyue, "I think it's a bit strange."
"What's strange about that?"
Frank didn't understand Chinese, so the two of them chatted openly without any hesitation.
Huo Fanjin: "Frank mentioned in an email before that he works at a fast food restaurant every long holiday, so it seems his family isn't well off. But now... he's not trying to be too vain, is he? I'd be embarrassed to spend his hard-earned money... But I don't think Frank is the vain kind. Is he trying to show off in front of me? Look at that plate of foie gras, it costs three figures in Euros."
Jiang Fuyue: "If he's willing to treat you, just eat peacefully."
"Is this really okay?"
"Don't worry, you won't go broke eating this."
"...Oh." Although Huo Fanjin lacks judgment, she is obedient!
Jiang Fuyue was quite satisfied with this.
Frank asked, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Fuyue replied, "Ms. Gretta has never tried our food. I'm explaining it to her."
No wonder Gretta was confused and nodded, the man was relieved.
Soon, the dining cart was pushed up.
The restaurant staff served the three people warmly. After accepting the tip from Frank, they said "Enjoy your meal" and left tactfully.
At the dinner table, the two chatted a lot.
Frank discovered that Huo Fanjin could eat Country D food and was quite knowledgeable about table manners.
Like...professionally trained.
However, not every family in China can afford such training.
Therefore, Huo Fanjin's background should not be simple, which made him sweat a little and he couldn't help but become more cautious -
"The mint dew here is very famous. I ordered a cup for you. I'll go get it myself. Please wait a moment."
The man's eyes were smiling and he was extremely gentle.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fuyue sat up straight subconsciously. Here it comes!
It was difficult to touch the food brought by the waiter, and since three people had to eat it, how could it be easier than serving the drink personally and giving it to Huo Fanjin alone?
Jiang Fuyue translated to Huo Fanjin: "He said he needed to go to the bathroom."
Huo Fanjin: “?” Why do you want to go to the bathroom again?
Could it be constipation?
I thought so in my heart, but I still smiled and nodded: "Go ahead."
Jiang Fuyue translated to Frank: "She said, 'Okay, thank you.'"
Frank left his seat and soon brought a glass of blue and green drink to Huo Fanjin's hand. It looked a bit like a cocktail.
It is accompanied by a long explanation in German.
Huo Fanjin didn't understand and could only smile in response, but the strangeness in his heart became more and more intense.
In fact, meeting in person is not as good as exchanging emails.
Although Frank is not good at speaking English, he has no problem writing it.
At least Huo Fanjin wouldn't find communication difficult. Now, she couldn't even understand what he was saying, and he didn't speak Chinese either. She could hire an interpreter once or twice, but if they really had a cross-border relationship in the future, would they still need to hire an online interpreter when they video chatted every day?
Not only is it troublesome, it's also shameful.
After all, falling in love is a matter between two people, and having an extra translator feels like there is a third party.
Today, it was only because she knew Jiang Fuyue and they were familiar with each other that Huo Fanjin relaxed a little.
If I change to something unfamiliar later...
The image was so beautiful that she couldn't help but dig her toes into the ground just thinking about it.
Frank said a lot, which Jiang Fuyue eventually translated into: "He said his stomach is not good. Whenever he eats or drinks, he needs to poop, and he poops a lot. Because the poop is too hard, it takes a long time to flush away. That's why it took so long. Please don't mind."
"And he washed his hands for a long time, as evidenced by this glass of clean blue water."
After hearing this, Huo Fanjin was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Is he sick?
He even told her that her poop was too hard?! And he even put the handwashing water in a cup?!
Suddenly, the last bite of top-quality steak on the plate lost its flavor.
