Chapter 63 Gallic Riots
I spent a pleasant half day at my grandma's house, and left after having dinner and playing a few games of chess with my grandpa. The pastoral life was indeed intoxicating. Xia Haoyang felt very comfortable for the past half day and thought that he would also find a beautiful countryside to buy an apartment in the future.
Back in the city, I found a hotel and settled down. I planned to go shopping in Yuhang tomorrow, or go back to Yancheng for a few days before coming back. After taking a shower, Xia Haoyang was thinking about tomorrow's action arrangements, pressing the TV remote control and changing channels in boredom. When I turned to the CCTV news channel, the news of beatings, smashing, looting and burning in Gaul was being broadcast.
A 17-year-old African-American youth was shot and killed by the police because he violated traffic rules and disobeyed orders to stop for inspection. After this incident was exposed online, it triggered protests by ethnic minorities in Gaul against racial discrimination and police abuse of power. But the protests slowly turned into vandalism, smashing, burning, and looting. Not only were the city government buildings set on fire, the power center burned down, the police station was ransacked, and trams and other public facilities were destroyed, but a large number of private homes were invaded and supermarkets were looted. ATM machines were vandalized and construction sites were set on fire and exploded. . . And it spread from one city to the whole country overnight.
Seeing such news, Xia Haoyang frowned. Even if the police who shot him did not handle it appropriately, was it right to cause turmoil and chaos across the country? Will this solve the problem? Doesn’t this cause more intense inter-racial confrontation and conflict? So what, Sun Na, whom I met a few days ago, seemed to be talking about going to Paris? Xia Haoyang suddenly realized that his new friend he met a few days ago seemed to be in Gaul. When he was considering whether to send a text message to ask what was going on, he suddenly received a call.
"Is it Xia Haoyang?" came an urgent female voice.
"I am, who are you?"
"I'm Sun Na. I can't get through the phone of my parents. There are riots in Gaul. There are looting and arson everywhere. It's so chaotic. Can you inform my father to arrange for someone to pick me up in Paris? My address is Paris No. Four Seasons Hotel George V, Elysee District, District , please, please." Sun Na's voice was obviously anxious.
Xia Haoyang didn't know how dangerous Sun Na was, but he was definitely in a state of uneasiness and fear. Without any hesitation, he immediately called his mother after hanging up the phone, telling her the whole thing and asking her mother to notify Sun Na's family. Xia Haoyang had the slightest hesitation about taking a flight to Paris to heroically save the beauty, which would undoubtedly be another story, but he rejected the idea in just a few seconds.
Maybe such a plot will be developed in the novels of Youjun. Just treat it as a side plot and a few words. Regardless of whether it is a harem novel or not, it is always good for the hero to save Meiye and win the favor of a beautiful woman. Hmm, just think about it. Very beautiful. It's a pity that the male protagonist Xia Haoyang, who thought he was calm and didn't think he was the male protagonist of the novel, didn't do this. He actually fell asleep! ! ! Yes, he actually fell asleep when a beautiful friend thousands of miles away was in dire straits! ! ! I wonder if Sun Na will say something like: Sigh, straight man!
He had only slept for more than an hour. It was less than ten o'clock when another phone call woke up Xia Haoyang.
"Hey, who's there?" Xia Haoyang was a little confused.
"Thank you, Xia Haoyang. My dad contacted friends in Paris to find me. I'm on the plane back to Shanghai, the magical city. Thank you for informing my dad." Sun Na made a special phone call to thank Xia Haoyang. help.
"It's okay. You're on the plane, right?"
Xia Haoyang looked at the time. It was more than an hour since he sent the message. Sun Na's father arranged for someone to find his daughter and put her on the plane. This was still in faraway Gaul. Such efficiency, such ability to do things, and the energy of the Sun family Not small.
"Well, I'm already on the plane. It will take off soon. Thank you."
"You're welcome. In fact, through the epidemic in recent years, we can see that the motherland is better. I feel relieved when I come back. I wish you a safe journey."
"Well, okay, let's not talk anymore. I'll contact you after I return home."
The rational Xia Haoyang blushed because he was a little hesitant before to fly to Paris to save the beauty. Fortunately, he didn't do that. Well, it is better to sleep better. Just keep sleeping. After all, there is everything in your dreams.
Xia Haoyang was also on the plane the next day. Naturally, he was not flying to Paris, but to Feiyan City. This morning, he had received news that Sun Na had returned to China safely. It is said that at the request of his parents, his second brother rushed all the way from Wenzhou to Shanghai Airport to pick up Sun Na. It seems that Xia's parents are determined to accept Sun Na as their daughter-in-law. Xia Haoyang shook off these messy thoughts in his head, closed his eyes and planned to sleep for a while.
After returning to Yancheng, I went to the company to check around and deal with some trivial matters, and then went to the hospital to visit Grandma Zhu Suya. On the way home I received an unexpected phone call.
"Xia Haoyang?" Different from Wang Qing's gentleness, her voice was pleasant and crisp.
"it's me."
"I am Tang Wanqi."
"Yeah, I heard it. Is something wrong?"
"Tomorrow the play "Three Years of Life" in which I participated will be released at the Haidian Theater. I would like to invite you to come and support me. Do you have time?" When saying this, the tone was obviously getting quieter and quieter.
Xia Haoyang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, what time will it be tomorrow?"
"Let's watch the evening show at 19:00. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of Haidian Theater then." Tang Wanqi's voice had a hint of excitement.
"Okay, I'll be here on time."
The two parties hung up the phone after only a few words. It felt like Tang Wanqi was in a hurry and hung up the phone.
Xia Haoyang didn't take it seriously. He took a detour to the supermarket to buy groceries and went home to continue his weight loss work that had been interrupted for several days.
The next day, Xia Haoyang returned to Yancheng Film Academy to study for the new semester. Although he became more familiar with his classmates, Xia Haoyang still habitually chose the seat at the back, and the people sitting in the row in front of him were still She is a girl who likes to smile who was occasionally late before. He still doesn't know his name.
In the days without Wang Qing, Xia Haoyang lived his life simply, going to work, going to school, and losing weight.
