Li Zhi looked at Alan and felt a little sorry for him. He agreed softly, took Alan's arm, and prepared to help him go upstairs to rest.

"No need... sit with me for a while, let me calm down."

Alan took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms, and the two of them stood on the terrace, admiring the evening view. The trees in the distance were lush and green, but the tall buildings were too close, making the surrounding environment seem very crowded.

…

Karl was wearing pajamas and had obviously just been woken up. He tiptoed to the door of Alan's bedroom and saw the maid on standby at the door. He signaled her with his eyes.

The maid nodded blankly and made a gesture to Karl that confused him.

Karl was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps forward. Before he reached the door, he could faintly hear the sounds coming from inside the house.

A very familiar crashing sound, accompanied by faint sobbing sounds.

Hearing this sound, Karl subconsciously looked at his watch. It was already past one in the middle of the night!

Young Master, you are trying too hard...

Just now, the housekeeper Hut called and asked the young master about something urgent.

In this situation, Karl felt a little embarrassed. At the same time, he also understood the meaning of the maid's gesture just now. He had not been home for decades and almost forgot the meaning of this gesture.

Gritting his teeth and taking a deep breath, Karl gritted his teeth and gently knocked on the door, and whispered: "Master... I'm Karl, there's a call from home, Huth said there's something urgent!"

The noise in the house suddenly stopped along with Karl's knock on the door.

Karl heard his young master's dissatisfied snort, and his scalp tingled.

Due to the time difference between here and mainland Britain, it is already midnight in Hong Kong time, but it is only five or six in the afternoon in Carmarthen.

That guy Huth, maybe he was too excited and forgot about the time difference.

…

Alan lowered his head and gasped, Li Zhi's hands were tightly around his neck.

Anyone who is in a good mood would be annoyed if being disturbed, not to mention that the sudden knock on the door just now scared him.

Alan straightened his body and bent backward slightly. He instinctively felt some "danger". As he turned his head subconsciously, accompanied by Li Zhi's trembling cry, a stream of warm water sprayed all over Alan's face and chest.

"Oh……"

He used his finger to touch the liquid on his chin, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.

Warm and slightly fishy, ​​the unpleasantness that Alan had just felt after being frightened disappeared.

I didn't expect that being suddenly frightened would have this effect. Does Li Zhi have a sensitive constitution?

Grabbing the blanket and covering Li Zhi, who was hiding his face and not daring to look at him, Alan sat down on the bed and responded, "Ask someone outside to bring me two towels and transfer Hu Te's call to me."

Karl responded from outside, and then there was the sound of his footsteps walking away.

After waiting for a while, the maid carefully pushed the door open and came in with a towel.

Alan picked up the cigarette on the bedside table, lit one for himself, pointed to the "water stain" on Zizai's chest and motioned for the maid to wipe it clean.

As soon as I put the cigarette to my lips and took a deep breath, as the smoke entered my lungs, a feeling of shortness of breath instantly swept through my body.

“Cough cough cough…”

Alan's face flushed, and he took the towel and prepared to do it himself, while waving his hand to let the maid go out.

So embarrassing!

I took a puff of cigarette and got a stitch in the side.

He put out the cigarette, took the towel with his left hand and wiped his chest roughly, then threw the towel on the ground. Then Alan slowly picked up the phone.

…

"Young Master?!" Hut's slightly distorted voice came from the microphone.

"Well! What's going on in the middle of the night that can't be discussed tomorrow?!"

“…”

Hut was puzzled to hear some anger in Alan's voice.

"Master... uh, I'm very sorry to bother you. I can't take care of the time difference. Butler Capel has been looking for you many times. His Highness asked you to come back to see him before he comes back!"

"oh?"

Alan blinked. It had only been a short time since they last met. Could it be that his status in His Highness' heart was rising day by day?

This is... Your Highness misses me?

"Before he goes back? Did His Highness go out again?"

"Yes... I will be back in about ten days. Besides, Master... there are a lot of things piled up at home. Are you... available to listen now?"

Alan, who didn't feel that this was a big deal, breathed a sigh of relief. Since the call had come, there was no harm in answering it. He had just thought that the call was so late because something had happened at home.

"Well, go ahead!"

…

Hut tilted his face slightly while holding the microphone. When the young master was speaking just now, he seemed to hear a faint female voice exclaiming.

this……

I didn't expect to call the young master at this time.

Hu Te also began to feel embarrassed, and reported with gritted teeth: "Master... I'll make it short, you do your thing, and I'll talk about mine."

"Um!"

Alan pulled Li Zhi up, patted her waist, and as she exclaimed, he pulled up her arm and asked her to lie down and hold the microphone for him, while he bent down and prepared to continue working.

…

"Master... First, the food factory at home has received so many orders! The workers are so busy that they can't handle it. The trucks waiting to pick up the goods have long queues of hundreds of meters every day."

"???"

"Um?"

Alan was so confused that he even stopped moving. Was the food factory at home overwhelmed with orders?

The food factory in his family has nothing. The things produced by the production line are all very traditional snacks that are very unpalatable. How come the orders suddenly exploded?

Is some idiot addicted to ginger candies?

…

"Uh... Master, this is a long story. To be precise, it's all because of your movie. There's a scene in it where Xiao Hei is practicing his professional ventriloquism."

Hut explained this somewhat magical news to Allen with some trepidation.

…

At that time, Alan assigned a mission to his comrade-in-arms, Old Donkey, who had retired from the Navy and came to join him.

Let him be responsible for training Black Duck's professional skills.

But Allen was limited by the fact that his wealth was almost drained, and he did not have any professional equipment or much money to invest.

But we can't let those little black guys practice licking steel wool, right?

Then……

Lao Lu suddenly had an idea and tapped into the internal potential. He took a certain snack from Allen's family's food factory as a stock clearance and took a large batch to Gambia to use as a teaching tool.

What Hutt is talking about is a snack that comes in a jelly package.

Inside are some puffed milk-flavored biscuits, and then a thick layer of low-quality chocolate is filled on the inner packaging.

This kind of snack is very troublesome to eat and it is difficult to eat it cleanly. After peeling off the outer layer of the package, you can press the bottom with your hand to eat the chocolate inside, but due to the packaging, it is difficult to eat it cleanly. If you want to eat it clean, you have to lick it, and you have to lick it very carefully.

But this way of eating snacks is not elegant, and the sales of this kind of snacks have been getting worse and worse in recent years.

Who would have thought that Lao Lu actually discovered a new function for this snack!

And this memory scene also appears in Allen's movie.
