Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 155 - 152 Distracted

"Okay, I knew uncle would definitely not like having a third wheel on his date, so my dream of crashing a gourmet meal is already dashed before it could even take shape.

Tomorrow, I’ll make a Chinese-English menu comparison chart for uncle.

When you look at it, if there’s anything that isn’t detailed enough, just let me know.

Some restaurant menus are in French, should I make a comparison chart for those too?" Bao Bao indicated that he was always ready to play the role of translator.

"Don’t worry about French for now, let’s take it one step at a time. Just make me a comparison chart of the main ingredients and cooking methods.

And wine labels, help me translate a few wine labels too.

Next week, after Aunt Yan Yan and the uncle leave, I will treat you three to dinner.

You’ll just need to focus on eating, I’ll handle all the ordering," Yan Dabang clearly cared a lot about what just happened, and his techie meticulousness was kicking in.

"Dad, you can do it, I’ll give you two big thumbs up in person then," Yan Yan felt her dad needed some encouragement.

"Then you can add my two thumbs up too," Bao Bao also joined in supporting Yan Dabang’s menu research.

"No problem, by then, just tell me whatever you want to eat or drink, and I’ll order each one for you," Yan Dabang was in high spirits and full of confidence.

In the tramcar restaurant, everyone talked quietly; Yan Yan didn’t know what Qi Yi and her uncle were talking about, and Qi Yi had no idea what Yan Yan and her parents were discussing.

When they got off the tramcar restaurant, Yan Yan noticed that Qi Yi’s mood wasn’t as upbeat as before boarding, though he was still smiling, there seemed to be something mixed in that smile.

Yan Yan thought about it and guessed that Xiao Qizi was probably resenting being heartlessly abandoned by his master during dinner.

After getting off the tramcar restaurant, Yan Yan ran over to Qi Yi, shamelessly grabbed his hand, and moved closer to him.

After the graduation ceremony, Yan Yan planned to properly console her boyfriend who had traveled a long way.

When the party time arrived in the evening, all four parents had their meal and retired early to rest.

Speaking of ’early’ in terms of the party, it was actually already past ten.

Qi Yi looked disinterested and somewhat exhausted.

It wasn’t fair to blame Qi Yi, after spending two days on a plane without proper rest.

If Qi Yi wasn’t tired at all, that would actually be strange.

Yan Yan couldn’t bear to see Qi Yi forcing himself to stay spirited and party with her here.

Bao Bao had just finished escorting Yan Yan’s family and was about to enter his shop when Yan Yan quickly ran up to the door and stopped him.

Yan Yan decided to continue making use of Bao Bao, to send Qi Yi to the hotel first.

"When did I become your chauffeur?" Bao Bao expressed his dissatisfaction at receiving a new task before he could even enter his shop.

"Don’t you feel it’s an honor to be my chauffeur? Plus, I’m about to go to Europe. After that, you won’t get the chance to be bossed around by me anymore," Yan Yan knew Bao Bao was just complaining verbally.

Yan Yan had only bought a car in Melbourne a few days ago.

Bao Bao had willingly been Yan Yan’s chauffeur for more than just a day or two.

Before Yan Dabang and his wife came to Melbourne, Bao Bao would often get up in the middle of the night to pick up Yan Yan from the studio and take her home.

To Yan Yan, Bao Bao was definitely a dedicated and hardworking chauffeur, like an old work ox.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell your handsome school hunk?" Bao Bao asked Yan Yan.

"What’s there to fear? You’re not interested in men," Yan Yan wasn’t worried about this at all.

"But I am interested in money, and your boyfriend could probably fetch a good price," Bao Bao said with a serious face.

"If you manage to sell Qi Yi, I’ll definitely help you count the cash, even if it cramps my hands," Yan Yan replied with a laugh.

Yan Yan really wanted to take Qi Yi home herself, but tonight was her graduation party. She had just finished dinner, and as the main character, it wouldn’t be appropriate to leave before the official party had started.

"Qi Yi, I’ll try to finish up soon, maybe stay another hour at most, and then I’ll come to the hotel to find you," Yan Yan reluctantly walked Qi Yi to the parking lot.

"Go enjoy yourself. Bao Bao has put so much effort into organizing this party for you; it’s just the beginning, and you’re already thinking about ending it—it’s not appropriate.

I can take a taxi back; having Bao Bao drive you around might be too much trouble. I’m not a three-year-old, after all." Bao Bao’s café was also downtown, not really far from the hotel where Qi Yi was staying.

"That won’t do. My boyfriend is so handsome; what if some village chief’s wife spots him on the street and decides to abduct him to be her Mr. Village Chief?" Yan Yan expressed her "concern."

"Alright, I’ll do as you say, so I guess we’ll have to trouble Bao Bao.

After the party, just go straight back to sleep. You’ll likely be drinking, and you shouldn’t be driving to the hotel.

Really enjoy yourself, and come back tomorrow to drive your car home," Qi Yi told Yan Yan.

Yan Yan’s classmates from fashion design, judging solely by their outfits, were already wild enough, plus Qi Yi didn’t know any of them.

Qi Yi felt that with him there, Yan Yan probably couldn’t fully enjoy her own graduation celebration; it might be better for him to head back first.

"Don’t you want to see me tonight?" Yan Yan asked with disbelief.

"I intentionally stayed awake on the plane so I could adjust to the time zone here at the hotel.

I’ll try to be bright and early tomorrow morning to have breakfast with you.

Grandpa is old now and won’t keep up with Waiwai’s crazy antics tonight. You won’t mind, right?" Qi Yi’s face finally broke into a smile.

"That’s probably best.

Then I won’t go home tonight, just head back with Bao Bao after the party ends.

I’ll get up early tomorrow morning and take you out for a delicious breakfast," Yan Yan accepted Qi Yi’s proposal. For tonight, she wouldn’t go to the hotel where Qi Yi was staying but would drive the car parked there back home in the morning.

Even though in Australia, it was permitted for fully licensed individuals to drive after a small amount of alcohol, Yan Yan wasn’t sure if she might end up drinking too much tonight.

Yan Yan wanted to spend more quality time with Qi Yi, but it always seemed to get interrupted by various things.

"You don’t need to get up so early; we can just go for brunch together," Qi Yi said indulgently as he gave Yan Yan a head pat.

Yan Yan felt like Qi Yi was somewhat distracted tonight, as if he was pondering something, not completely present.
