Chapter 4: The princess’ identity was revealed?
"Huh...Huh, this is really weird, sir, what's in your girlfriend's suitcase? I've been a driver for four or five years, but this is the first time I've seen such a heavy suitcase!"
Listening to the driver's half-complaint and half-teasing, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Well, a girl's suitcase is one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the world. You don't have to ask this, bro."
The driver looked at the suitcase hesitantly.
Of course, he couldn't ask questions, but he felt something was wrong. A foreign girl traveling to China with such a heavy suitcase? Where were her spare clothes? Where were her other belongings?
However, he did not say much and quietly returned to the driver's seat.
Lin Yan naturally had no doubts, and said to Martha in a gentlemanly manner:
"Please get in the car, beautiful little princess."
Martha was slightly startled and felt a little guilty:
"Yan, why do you call me princess?"
Is Yan's vision so sharp? I just said a few words to him, but he saw through my true identity?
As expected of Yan... No! This is not good. If Yan really knows my identity, then my trip to China will be ruined.
Lin Yan didn't know what was in Martha's mind. Seeing her nervous, he thought of the special political system of the Allen Chieftaincy. He slapped his forehead and said that he was being stupid.
"I'm sorry I misunderstood you, Martha."
"In China, the so-called 'princess' and 'prince' are nicknames that are used as a joke. Everyone can be a 'prince' or 'princess' in someone else's heart."
"For example, a father will affectionately call his daughter 'little princess', and a girl will affectionately call the person she admires 'dream prince'."
"So, the 'prince' and 'princess' we talk about are just nicknames, not real identities. It's a little different from your side."
The royal family has a special status in the Arab Emirates, and that is absolutely not something that can be used as a joke.
When Lin Yan thought about this, it was no wonder that Martha was so nervous about the title of "Princess".
After hearing the explanation, Martha breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh, so that's how it is!"
Then, stars seemed to appear in her eyes, and she said excitedly:
"Everyone can be the princess or prince in someone else's heart? What a romantic statement! Is this the romance of China? Yan, please tell me, am I also your most important princess in your heart?"
Lin Yan was stunned, then smiled and said:
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I blurt out those words just now?"
"Then... Yan, can you tell me again?"
"It's my pleasure - please get in the car, my beautiful little princess."
Looking at the twinkling stars in Martha's eyes at this moment, there was no need to distinguish between IPs in the live broadcast room, and everyone was in a state of defense breakdown!
"Wow wow wow wow! I don't accept it! I don't believe it! How am I worse than Brother Yan? Why can't I meet such a good girl in my online dating experience?"
"This is fake, I am definitely dreaming, this is impossible! It's impossible, you know that!"
"Curse, curse, curse, curse..."
"Sha...Martha...wuwuwuwu..." "You are also the princess in all of our hearts!"
"Yes! This brother Alian is right, Martha, you are also a princess in our hearts! Please stop playing with Brother Yan, okay TAT"
"Wow, am I the only one who noticed this? The driver just now accidentally said that Martha was Brother Yan's girlfriend, but Martha didn't even bother to refute it! The person I love has become someone else's girlfriend! I'm heartbroken! I'm heartbroken!"
"Why are you crying over a three-minute unrequited love? Go away, let me cry first! I just lost a twenty-year-long passionate love!"
"You have been madly in love with Martha since you were born, right? Then get out of here too. I was Martha's favorite person in my previous life. I'll cry first!"
"This can also be rolled?"
……
In the back seat of the taxi, Martha leaned against the window, watching the international airport gradually go away, and then saw tall buildings appearing from a distance and getting closer. The three-dimensional buses, the traffic flow, the noise of people, in the blink of an eye, they were in the metropolis of lights and wine, Martha's cute little mouth suddenly opened into an "O" shape, and she never stopped exclaiming.
"So many... Yan! There are so many cars on the road! How can there be so many! There are many more cars than on our roads in the Arab Emirates! Could it be that... everyone in China has a car?!"
"Is that the Blue Ocean Building? I've seen what it looks like on the Internet! It's one of the top five high-rise buildings in the world! How spectacular! It really lives up to its reputation! Wait a minute...what's that construction site over there! It's so tall!!! It actually looks taller than the Blue Ocean Building! Oh my God! Yan, are you Chinese planning to build a giant building taller than the Burj Khalifa?"
"I can't believe my own eyes, Yan. I've been to many places, whether they are rich or poor countries, their international airports are always so gorgeous. But after leaving the airport, you can almost immediately see some... discordant scenes."
"But China... My God, the taxi has been driving for so long, and I haven't seen any poor homeless people on the street, I haven't seen any sudden robberies or gang fights, and I haven't seen any slums connected together - no, I haven't even seen a building like this!"
"This is different... Yan, is this really China? My elders have been to China before, but the China they described is completely different from what I see now! The China they saw was not so beautiful. They said that China was full of poverty and backwardness! What is going on, Yan!"
Listening to Martha's admiration and praise for China, Lin Yan also had an indescribable sense of pride, but it quickly turned into a serious expression.
"The China they spoke of is real, and the China you see now is also real. If I'm not mistaken, they came to China twenty... no, at least thirty years ago, right?"
Martha nodded slightly.
Lin Yan took a deep breath and said slowly:
"That's right."
"This land once had thousands of years of glory. But it got too tired and fell asleep hundreds of years ago."
"When it wakes up, the Blue Planet has already been turned upside down. It is no longer the glorious and beautiful country it once was."
“But it will never sink.”
"If the house is broken, go and mend it. If the clothes are missing, cut old cloth."
“When parents grow old, they tell their children that they must become rich, strong and stand up. When children grow old, they tell their grandchildren to become rich, strong and stand up.”
"This land gave birth to our great ancestors. Each generation of them suffered as much as three generations of our descendants. They put in three times, five times, and ten times the effort to make up for the hundreds of years that China lost."
"They, we - China has always believed in 'self-improvement'. Therefore, China relied on its own hands to change the poverty of thirty years ago; we used 'self-improvement' to rewrite our fate of being poor and weak. That's why we have this beautiful country you see now."
Martha was stunned for a moment.
"Self-improvement, never give up...?"
