Chapter 540: 144: Astonished M Country people, lovers finally meet! _5
However, the sight of dolphins leaping out of the sea at sunrise was rare, so Ni Yang immediately picked up her camera to capture the moment.
After a while, the boat docked.
Emily stood at the hotel entrance, exclaiming excitedly, “Oh my God! We are so fated! I’m staying at this hotel too!”
“Really?” Ni Yang was somewhat surprised.
“Of course!” Emily nodded.
Ni Yang brought Emily to her room and handed her the unopened box of Radiant Skin, “This is the Radiant Skin skincare set, just read the instructions for use. Oh yes, there are a few samples in there too, you can try those first.”
Since the very beginning, Ni Yang intended to introduce Radiant Skin to the international market. Therefore, she had instructed for both Chinese and English labels when she had them made.
“Thank you, how much is this?” Emily took out her purse.
Ni Yang laughed, “No need for money. If you really want to thank me, teach my mother English. Also, she can help you learn some Chinese.” freewebnσvel.cѳm
“Sure!” Emily nodded enthusiastically. She had no plans to go out and explore anyway.
During these past few days on the island, Ni Cuihua had already picked up a few simple English phrases, such as hello, thank you, excuse me, and other commonly used expressions.
Ni Cuihua was a very smart person, so she had no difficulty picking up new concepts. On the contrary, Emily was not as quick to learn. While Ni Cuihua was already mastering many little English tricks, Emily still had not grasped Chinese at all.
By the end of the day, Ni Cuihua had learned to introduce herself in English and some basic phrases for asking directions. Although her grasp of the language was just at the surface, it was a significant improvement from her first day in M Country.
She had begun to accept M Country gradually, but was still having difficulty adjusting to the food. She was fine initially, but after days of eating lobster and king crab, she began to miss the meals in China, like rice, hot pot, braised pork, and even pickled radish from the snowfields.
No matter how great M Country is, it could never compare to China!
Over the next few days, Ni Yang took Ni Cuihua to visit places like the Marsh Park, Coral Tower, and Hemingway House.
A flash, and more than ten days had passed.
At the moment, the mother and daughter have arrived in Hawaii from Miami, where they would be able to visit the Volcano National Park and the famous Black Sand Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii!
The beach was a place they would never get tired of.
To their surprise, they stumbled upon a Chinese restaurant right on the Black Sand Beach!
Encountering a fellow countryman in a foreign land thrilled Ni Cuihua. “Fellow countrymen, where are you from?” she asked.
“We’re from Shanghai, and you?” the restaurant owner replied.
“We’re originally from Haicheng, but we’ve settled down in Beijing City. This is my elder daughter, and this is my younger one. Are you folks settling down here?”
The restaurant owner nodded, “Our family has been in M Country for many years.”
In the end, Ni Cuihua ordered dishes such as Fish-Flavored Eggplant, Braised Egg, Braised Pork, Braised Sea Fish, and Vegetable Tofu Soup. The dishes were slightly sweet and salty and had the authentic taste of Shanghai. It was their first Chinese meal since arriving in M Country, and the three of them enjoyed it immensely.
After lunch, Ni Cuihua lulled little Ni Yun to sleep in the hotel, while Ni Yang strolled along the beach, listening to the sound of the sea.
She was wearing a burgundy cheongsam, her hair cascading down her back, a crystal clip on her ear, carrying a pair of small leather shoes, revealing white ankles as smooth as jade, her toes buried in the black sand, looking like a row of delicate little seashells.
If time could stand still, this moment would be like a beautiful painting.
We don’t know how many people wanted to strike up a conversation with her but didn’t have the courage to do so.
“Which country is she from?”
“Looks like either H Country or R Country.”
“No, no, she’s from China!”
“How can you tell?”
“Look at her clothes. I studied Chinese history, and the dress she’s wearing is called a cheongsam. It originated in the 1920s and is a unique Chinese attire.”
“The cheongsam is so beautiful! I want to own one too!”
“I’d love to visit China if I get a chance!”
