Chapter 263 The Story Writer
"I really don't know what I can do...swimming? I'm even afraid of deep pools, let alone the sea. Fishing, I might as well play with my phone...ah, there is an inflatable slide on the boat that can slide all the way from the top Entering the sea, but how long can I play with that? And the impact is so strong, what if I sink to the bottom directly? According to my swimming skills, if I go down, I can’t even think of floating up..."

Han Yi rambled on and on, thinking very hard.

"You sound like an insulator for all water sports." Barbara Pavin concluded sharply.

"I know." Han Yi said in a frustrated tone, "Then there's really nothing you can do on a yacht... Can you help me think about it, Barbie? You seem to be the kind of person who is proficient in various sports and entertainment activities."

"You're asking the right person."

Barbara closed the eyeshadow box and hummed proudly.

"I've been staying at the beach this summer and I should be doing that every year for the next few years."

"Sports Illustrated?"

"That's right." Barbara wrinkled her nose at the camera, "You have to soak in the sea for several hours every day. If it were you, you would learn how to swim even if you don't know how to swim."

"I don't have this..." Han Yi considered the words in his mind, "Talent."

"Don't mind if I do." Barbara playfully spread her hands, held her face, and said with a smile.

"That's not how this sentence is used...maybe it can be used this way? I don't know."

They are all non-native English speakers. Han Yi can understand what Barbara wants to express in seconds without having to explain.

"Of course it can be used in this way." Barbara said decisively, "I am the most fluent English speaker in our Pavin family."

"Okay, I'll listen to you..." Han Yi shook his head and chuckled, "So, if it were you, what would you most like to do on this yacht?"

"Good question, if it were me..."

Barbara Pavin put her index finger on her chin and thought hard.

"I get up early in the morning, wash my face and brush my teeth, then I would go straight to the terrace - any terrace - and lie there for several hours until my whole body is so hot that I almost burn... No makeup, no makeup at all, Completely bare-faced.”

"That's a little too specific."

After hearing Barbara's words, Han Yi, who was currently at the stern of the master deck, began to move upstairs to the bridge level.Only on the terrace on the upper floor can one bathe in the kind of hot sunshine that Barbara described, which can burn people.

"It's obvious that you hate wearing makeup."

"It's not that I hate it, it's just... it's really the most important part of my job." Barbara Pavin put aside the lipstick that almost touched her lips and explained with a smile, "I'm still quite strange. . When we were not working as models, my sister and I were particularly keen on makeup. We were still in school at the time, and girls were not allowed to wear makeup in school, and our parents didn’t like us doing it, so we often stole our mother’s makeup to paint our eyes. Hey, put on lipstick, use whatever exaggeration you want."

"Now it's the other way around."

"Yeah, if I stay at home on a day off, I definitely don't want to put on any makeup, because when I'm shooting, no matter what type of shooting, I have to remove makeup, put on makeup, remove makeup, put on makeup, and do it over and over again. Nine times.”

"Eight or nine times?" Han Yi was surprised.

"Yes, it's quite small, because each outfit needs different makeup. It's better now, now I'm still... a little famous, they won't bother me too much. But before..." Ba Bara grinned fearfully, "My mother often says that my skin is at least ten years older than that of my peers. Too much makeup is very harmful to the skin."

"How did your mother find out?"

Han Yi expressed his doubts sincerely. Not to mention comparing with her peers, Barbara Pavin's skin should be the most well-maintained among all the people he has seen.

Yes, due to racial differences, the pores of a white Hungarian girl are indeed larger than those of Asians, and there will be tiny golden fuzz between her arms, but even if these factors are taken into account, supermodel Barba La-Pavin's skin condition can still be described as impeccable.

Don't ask him why he is qualified to say this.

He experienced it firsthand.

Been there, done that.

"Hasn't she read the reports about you? They don't believe that you were born in 1993 and thought you were only 17 years old or so."

"Did you..." Barbara blew her nails leisurely, "You researched me a little too thoroughly on Google."

"I'm just an online stalker." Han Yi had given up resistance to Barbara's accusation.

"Well, remember to arrange my evidence board to look better." When it comes to getting along with each other, Han Yi and Barbara are completely opposite.The former tries hard to suppress his urge to joke, while the latter seizes every opportunity to make fun of the other person.

Barbara herself didn't know why this happened. Maybe most people just wanted to see her face and figure, but Han Yi...he wanted to see it too, which was true, but Barbara could feel that, In fact, he wants to go through this perfect surface that others are unwilling to go through, to explore the less dazzling version of himself hidden in the core.

Whatever the reason, he was willing to listen and answer.

For Barbara Pavin, whose job involves keeping her mouth shut and her chin up, this is precious.

"My mother is just worried about my physical condition. Every time I go back to Budapest, she will say that I have lost weight, look haggard, and look older. The main purpose is to hope that I can arrange less work, rest more, and spend more time with them. Stay together.”

Thinking of her extremely protective parents who waited for her to call her every day in her hometown to tell her she was safe, Barbara lightly touched the corner of her eye with her fingertips, and then laughed out loud.

"I know that my skin condition is okay now, but first of all, it's because I'm still young and can withstand the abuse. Secondly, as I said, I will definitely not wear makeup on my days off, and I won't put any foundation on my face."

"So are you busy today?" Han Yi pointed at Barbara's face on the screen, "Are you going out later?"

"I have to go to IMG for a meeting in the afternoon. I haven't seen my management team for a long time. I have to meet with them... Don't worry, I have enough time to help you solve your problems first, clingy little boy."

"That's not mine..."

"Okay, okay." Barbara waved her hand, stopping Han Yi's futile defense, "The focus continues to return to you... We are on the same ship. The ship you are on now, I am wearing a suit Wearing a retro black and white striped bikini, lying lazily on the deck and basking in the sun, I was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep."

"I don't know how long it took, but you got up too. I heard your approaching footsteps. I opened my eyes, patted the empty space next to me, and told you, my dear..."

"Honey?"

"Isn't this the scenario we set? It has to fit the identity of the characters." Barbara raised her index finger with a serious look on her face, "otherwise, why are we alone on the deck? Other identities would be even weirder."

"You're right...please continue."

"I said, dear, come join me. You came over and lay next to me. At this time, what is the thing you most want us to do together?"

"Remember, no sex."

"Then it's not a real simulation."

"Suppose you..." Barbara bit her lower lip, trying to suppress the unbridled laughter that almost burst out of her mouth, "Suppose you are exhausted, like... like your last morning in London."

"Okay." Han Yi recalled, "I can take over."

"In this situation, what would you most like us to do together?"

"I hope we...read a book that both of us want to read. Novel, cookbook, travel guide, anything." Han Yi rubbed his chin and muttered, "I haven't read it with anyone...at the same time. A book. But I think it would be fun, marveling at the ups and downs of a certain plot together, and arguing about the ending of a certain character... It's like two people watching Netflix together, only more... It’s quieter and more intimate.”

"There are only inaudible breaths and the sound of the breeze turning the pages of the book."

"What are we reading?" Han Yi's romantic and poetic narration made Barbara a little confused.Her arm holding the lipstick froze in the air again, and her questioning voice became softer.

"comics."

"Comics?" Barbara burst out laughing, "Why?"

"Because you like it, if I remember correctly."

"You make it sound like I don't read serious books."

"I'm sorry if my expression just now caused you such misunderstanding." Han Yi's tone was very sincere, "We have not discussed the issue of reading before. I only remember that you told me that you like "Naruto" and "Naruto". ‘Attack on Titan.’ So… I’m not implying anything negative.”

"I know, I just..."

This time, Barbara was at a loss for words. Of course she knew that Han Yi did not mean to belittle her. The Hungarian girl just followed the words and made fun of her, making fun of both the other party and herself.Unexpectedly, Han Yi would take this topic so seriously.After thinking through some deeper issues, Barbara Pavin's expression became more subtle, and the clouds and mountains were so foggy that it was difficult to see clearly.After a long while, she spoke quietly and spit out a name:
"Leslie L. Lawrence."

"Your favorite author?"

"My favorite Hungarian writer. Wait a minute, I'll show you."

Barbara Pavin, who disappeared from the camera, reappeared with a Kindle in her hand.

"This Kindle was given to me by my sister. I just finished reading a book by Yu Nesbo yesterday, and there are 14 more books in it... Haha, basically all of them are by Leslie L. Lawrence. He is our country's A very famous novelist who writes murders, suspense, crimes, detectives... I like stories that require you to use your brain to think and decipher. Lawrence is particularly good. The plot is linked one by one, and the story has to develop to the fifth stage. Only then can you truly understand the truth of the first phase.”

"Well! Yes, you can also learn a lot about Eastern culture in his books. Every story is basically related to Eastern mythology, including Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Mongolian, Thai, and even There are... Khmer ones. Lawrence himself is an Orientalist, so the things he wrote are quite real."

"Orientalist..." Han Yi savored this word carefully, which would be considered a racist term in the United States today.It must be said that his communication with Barbara Pavin allowed him to deepen his understanding of the world all the time.Even if you are an international student, sometimes it is difficult to escape the limitations of comparing "domestic" and "foreign", thus forgetting that in addition to Western Europe and North America, there are many other interesting countries and cultures waiting to be discovered on this blue planet.

Like Hungary, a composite civilization at the intersection of Asian and European cultures, its literary environment, ideological atmosphere and social ecology that are completely different from the traditional concept of "the West" can be vividly reflected in the country's most famous spokesperson .

This should be why Han Yi enjoys chatting with Barbara so much.

Without the supermodel halo, she and the culture she represents are interesting topics worthy of further exploration.

“Sounds interesting, but I hope it’s not all in Hungarian.”

"Two of them are in English."

"That's good." Han Yi nodded and responded, "Two people read crime novels together and guess who is the murderer. Are you considered a nerd or someone who has fun?"

"It doesn't matter." Barbara blinked, "If you didn't tell me, I really didn't expect that two people could spend time together in this way. Reading the same book... I don't know if you can follow. Get up to my speed.”

"I'm a speed-reading artist, at least in terms of reading speed. I haven't found anyone who can be my opponent in real life."

"Then you may have found it now." Barbara Pavin pointed to her nose, very proudly, "I can read a book in one day."

"Me too."

"English?"

"Chinese. What about you?"

"Hungarian."

"I can already imagine the two of us putting our heads together and reading English novels." Han Yi joked, "You should always have a Google Translate at hand. When you see a word you don't understand, you can pronounce it and look it up."

"Then I guess I haven't finished Chapter 1 by the time I have lunch."

Although it is far from her public image, Barbara Pavin is indeed a bookworm. The intense shooting and work schedule make her not want to go out at all on her days off. She is not curled up under the quilt watching "Friends" on her iPad. Just reading with a Kindle in hand, and these two hobbies happened to be very compatible with Han Yi.

Women are better at fantasizing than men. Han Yi can only describe a general scene, but Barbara can refine the scene into specific postures, movements and expressions.

In the script set by Barbara, she was wearing a retro black and white striped swimsuit, and Han Yi should have been wearing a pair of solid-color swimming trunks.The two cuddled up on a lounge chair, she resting on his shoulder.He held the book, and she turned the pages. When they saw the thrilling parts, they both held their breath at the same time. When they encountered interesting scenes, they would look at each other and smile, and then...

"OK, the first activity is reading. I think you have gradually begun to find the joy of owning a yacht." Barbara Pavin forcibly pulled her thinking train back to the real world, cleared her throat, Said, "Under the always clear and open skies of Southern Europe, in the middle of the azure sea, doing what you love most without being disturbed, having the luxury of escaping from the world is a gift in itself."

"I agree, I'm starting to feel something." Han Yi looked at her at the other end of the screen with a smile, "So, dear Barbara, I've finished reading Chapter 1 of the novel, what should we eat for lunch?"

"Can I choose whatever I want?"

"Of course, a gentleman must... Antoine, what's left in our cargo hold?!" Han Yi stretched his neck and looked back, pretending to be talking to Antoine Gachet.After a few seconds, he turned his head, stretched out his fingers one by one from his thumb to his little finger, and counted them one by one, "Fish, seaweed, fish entangled with seaweed, seaweed inseparable from fish. Choose."

“Cheeseburger.”

"Did you not listen to the menu just now?"

"I heard it...but I still want a cheeseburger." Barbara smacked her lips and applied the lip balm and mixed it well, "Because I really want to eat it at noon today. Shake Shack, I have been thinking about it for a long time in Europe. "

"Understood. If I really have a chance to invite you to the yacht next time, I will remember to prepare cheeseburgers."

"And your Chinese Gulash."

“My Chinese Gulash, yes, the full version with the right spices.”

"That would be a perfect lunch." Barbara imitated the Italians, put her fingers together and blew a kiss in front of her lips, "Always remember, if you want a model to be satisfied with her meal, take her to eat in the most common way. Just street food.”

"It seems like I do this every time we meet."

"So you did a good job." Barbara flipped her hair and her voice became a little sweet unconsciously, "Full marks, sir."

"Reading in the morning, cheeseburger for lunch..."

"With some extra, extra cold lemonade, and if I'm not on a diet, Coke would be nice too. Anyway, need something to drink for the hot weather."

"You got it. The results of our brainstorming are already far from the yacht life I expected."

"What did you expect?"

"Oysters, wine, electronic music parties, and..."

"Many, many models, right?" Barbara narrowed her eyes, "Not just one."

"Yes, when it comes to yachts, these seem to be the standard features. Models must be invited according to the length of the boat. The bigger the boat, the more girls." Han Yi was extremely honest, "But I feel that the script we wrote is more suit me."

"That kind of lively scene may be novel to me, but it will never really attract me and make me pay for that kind of lifestyle."

"Some people eat muffins and they have to add cream, fresh fruit, and a bunch of other things. But if it were me, I just want to taste it as it is, with a little bit of maple syrup at most... you know what I mean. ?"

"I understand." Barbara's eyes danced with indescribable light, "All joy in the world is essentially an emotion, and you just want to get it in the simplest way."

"You sum it up better than me."

"Then why buy the most expensive thing if you only want to use the simplest way?"

"Methods and practices are two different things...the simplest is what I hope to provide for myself, the most expensive...no, the most beautiful thing is what I hope to provide to the other party. As...choose to return to simplicity with me gift."

"Whoever that person is, I think she's going to feel very lucky."

"Yeah." Han Yi lowered his eyes and was speechless for a moment.

"And I can now act as a temporary substitute in the fantasy world." Barbara opened her arms and restored her energetic smile, "I also feel very lucky."

"You are not a substitute."

"I don't care." She shrugged, and her cheeks full of collagen turned up. "People who like to read stories like to write their own stories. It can help you solve problems and let you play a new role. It's pretty good. .”

"Dear...how far are we from Nice now?"

"I can already see the harbor."

"When the boat stops, let's go ashore and have a look, shall we? I have been to the French Riviera so many times, but I have never visited it as a tourist. Being able to stop whenever you want is also a privilege of owning a yacht. One of those privileges.”

"Okay, but I haven't been to Nice yet. The plane did stop here, but it didn't enter the city at all."

"It's okay, honey..."

"I'll be your guide."

　In addition to the business line, I also want to write some leisurely travel daily life, and also to pave the way for the protagonist to get the strongest positive emotional feedback and get the most rewards. There will be almost two or three chapters about travel, buying a yacht, and buying a vacation. Hotel, I hope everyone likes it
