Chapter 152 Interesting Stranger
The other party was so enthusiastic, and I felt embarrassed to appear too distant. I hesitated for a moment, then reached out and shook his hand.
He behaved very gentlemanly, just clasping his thumbs together as a polite handshake, while Xiao Shiqiu watched gently from the side.
"I'm going to the Netherlands. Are you on the same flight?" He seemed very familiar, probably because he was traveling alone and felt a little lonely.
Xiao Shiqiu nodded politely, "Yes, we are going to the Netherlands too."
"Haha, what a coincidence! My name is Lu Yuanqing. I grew up in Country M and just returned to China two years ago. This time, I want to take advantage of my vacation to go to Northern Europe to see the Northern Lights. I plan to spend two days in the Netherlands before leaving."
He introduced himself enthusiastically. His handsome appearance and warm personality easily won others' favor.
Xiao Shiqiu smiled and responded: "My last name is Xiao. What a coincidence, we are going on vacation."
I noticed that he didn't say that we were also going to see the aurora, which showed that he was still wary of Lu Yuanqing.
Next, we basically played the role of listeners. In less than half an hour, Lu Yuanqing had already told us all about his experiences from childhood to adulthood.
He went abroad with his parents when he was ten years old. His father is Lu Hongsheng, the founder of the famous fashion brand 'COLLIN'.
This brand has been very popular in China in recent years. It is a mid-range young brand. As a fashion design major, I am of course familiar with these well-known brands.
Lu Yuanqing is a typical rich second generation. According to him, he wants to fulfill his dream while his father is still young and strong. If he fails to make a name for himself, he will go back to inherit the family business.
But I don’t understand, we were just strangers, why was he so eager to explain his family background to us in such detail.
And as if he was afraid that we wouldn't believe him, he took out the news about his father from his mobile phone and showed us a photo of him and his father.
I'm not sure whether he is not wary of strangers because he just came out of the ivory tower and has not been beaten by society, or whether he has other intentions towards us.
"Beauty, you look young, are you in college? Is Mr. Xiao your family?"
Lu Yuanqing was also quite gossipy. After talking about his family affairs, he started to ask about my identity.
Without waiting for my answer, Xiao Shiqiu took the lead and said, "This is my girlfriend. I brought her out to relax."
"Oh, you two look like a perfect match." Lu Yuanqing's smile remained unchanged, and he remained very friendly. "What does Mr. Xiao do for a living?"
"I work as a manager in a local company in City A." Xiao Shiqiu answered gracefully with just the right amount of humility.
Lu Yuanqing saw that Xiao Shiqiu didn't want to have a close relationship with him, but he didn't take it as an offense and continued to chat with us about all sorts of things.
From his words, I could tell that he had indeed traveled to many places and was quite knowledgeable. He was also a very good storyteller, and I was quickly attracted by the experiences he talked about.
"When I went to Ecuador, I encountered a local indigenous coming-of-age ceremony. The ceremony was to put your hand into a glove filled with bullet ants. If you get bitten, you can't cry or scream in pain. Only then is it considered complete."
He described it so vividly that I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are bullet ants?"
"It's an ant that bites incredibly painfully. You know the Schmidt sting pain scale, right?"
I shook my head blankly, feeling a little ashamed of my ignorance.
"The Schmidt bite pain index is divided into four levels according to the pain level, with level 1 being the least painful and level 4 being the most painful. Bullet ant bites are level 4.
When I saw their boys being bitten by bullet ants with blank expressions on their faces, I began to wonder if it really hurt that much, and then I asked to try it myself.
He had a mischievous grin on his face, and I couldn't help but ask, "And then?"
