Letting Loose After Marrying A Tycoon - Chapter 471
Considering the long distance, Su Beibei booked two first class tickets and one economy class ticket. The aunt is sitting in the economy class, Li Ao and Su Beibei are sitting in the first class.
The seats are very spacious and the cabin is very quiet. After Li Ao boarded the plane, he fell asleep after watching the cartoon for a while. When I woke up, the plane was still flying in the air.
Li Ao put on clean socks on his feet and stood on the seat looking at the clouds outside the window. Seeing the big white clouds outside, Li Ao finally felt better. Li Ao asked Su Beibei: “Mom, will we fall?”
Su Beibei: “…”
The most taboo thing about flying is this kind of problem.
Su Beibei whispered to Li Ao: “Neil, we have to trust the captain, he will definitely send us to Los Angeles safely.”
Li Ao sat down, hugged his panda toy, and said, “I know that Aunt Song Song is the captain, and she is very powerful.”
“Yes.”
“I will be a captain when I grow up!”
“is it?”
“Yeah!” Li Ao nodded vigorously and told Su Beibei, “Fly the fighter!”
Su Beibei touched Li Ao’s head and smiled: “I believe you will become an excellent air force fighter!”
“Hehe.”
Li Ao was bored. Seeing that everyone was sleeping, he didn’t dare to make trouble, so he pestered Su Beibei and said, “Mom, tell me your novel. I want to listen to “The Seventh Girl”.”
“The Seventh Girl” has a total of 320,000 words, and Su Beibei patiently read 70 to 80,000 words, and her tongue was dry, and Li Ao became tired.
“I want to sleep, mother.”
“it is good.”
Su Beibei put a blanket on Li Ao, and when she saw her son sleeping, she put down her things and went to the toilet. After returning to the seat, Su Beibei also fell asleep under the blanket.
When she woke up, Su Beibei heard the stewardess in Chinese reminding the passengers that the plane was about to land, please wear your seat belts. She fastened her seat belt, woke up Li Ao again, and fastened the seat belt for Li Ao.
There was a bump when the plane landed, and Li Ao was a little nervous, his little hand gripped his mother’s hand tightly, and his lips pressed into a straight line. He stared directly at the small TV with both eyes, not daring to move.
It was the first time to fly this far away in a strange country, and Li Ao’s courage became smaller. It wasn’t until the plane landed smoothly that Li Ao took a long breath and said to Su Beibei with sweaty hands, “Mom, I seemed to have peeed just now.”
Su Beibei: “…”
Su Beibei took Li Ao to the toilet and found that his **** were wet, and he didn’t say anything. “Go down first. Mom will change your pants later.”
“Ok.”
The three of them took a taxi and went to the rented house in advance.
Su Beibei did a strategy in advance, and considering that she had a child, she did not apply for on-campus accommodation. I also considered that Li Ao would be more noisy when he was crazy, for fear of disturbing other students. After some weighing, Su Beibei finally rented a house.
The house has three bedrooms and two living rooms. Su Beibei rented it directly for one year, and the cost was naturally not low. But she has saved a lot of money over the years, and there is no shortage of this money.
The car was parked in front of the rental house, and Su Beibei took off his luggage and stood in front of the house with auntie and Li Ao, looking at the house in front of him.
The house is on the north side of the school and is a one-story single-living building. A seven-step staircase connects the sidewalk and the entrance door. Two small tree altars are built with red bricks between the house and the sidewalk, and coconut trees and rose flowers are planted inside. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby, and life is fairly convenient.
Su Beibei asked Li Ao: “Neil, do you like it here?”
Li Ao nodded, “I like it.”
The landlord had already cleaned the house, and Su Beibei went to the landlord to get the keys. The landlord was a blond and fat woman who was more cheerful and always laughed when she spoke.
She took Su Beibei to see the house, explained various precautions, and then put down the keys and left.
The aunt disliked that the house hadn’t been cleaned enough. She held up the exhausted spirit and wiped the tables and chairs in the house again, and replaced the four-piece suit on the bed with the four-piece cotton suit brought from China. Pleasing to the eye.
After a casual meal, the three went to bed early and fell into jet lag.
The next morning, Su Beibei got up to make seafood porridge for Li Ao and fried a leek cake. She had an American driver’s license. After eating, she took her aunt and Li Ao to buy a second-hand car.
After buying the car, she took the child and aunt to the supermarket, letting the aunt know the way of the supermarket in advance.
The aunt asked Su Beibei to write her a piece of paper with some common terms and home address, and Su Beibei’s contact number written on it.
She put the paper in a plastic sleeve and tied it around her neck, like an identity card. The aunt patted the sign and vowed to say: “Don’t worry, with this, I won’t get lost.”
Su Beibei asked: “What if you get lost?”
Auntie thought for a while and said, “Then call 110.” She slapped her mouth again, and changed her words: “Bah! It’s 911.” When I first arrived, my aunt is not used to calling 911.
Su Beibei found a part-time undergraduate college student to teach Li Ao to learn English. He was a mixed-race, and spoke both English and Chinese very slippery.
After all the daily chores were arranged, Su Beibei went to school to report. After returning from school, it was three o’clock in the afternoon. Su Beibei was sitting on the stairs in front of his house with a bag of cheese sticks and called Noland.
Finding that the phone number was a strange number, or it was from Los Angeles, Noland answered the phone and asked nonchalantly: “Hello?”
Su Beibei took a bite of the cheese stick and asked, “My child, what are you doing?”
Hearing this’child’, the other side was quiet for two seconds, and then there was a surprised and happy cry of Noland, “Belle?” Noland immediately turned over from the bed and sat up and asked Su Beibei: “Belle, Where are you living right now?”
Su Beibei reported the address and ate all the cheese on the cheese stick in one bite. She turned the key ring in her hand and asked Noland, “My child, are you coming to my house for dinner tonight? You haven’t seen my baby Neil yet.”
Noland responded immediately.
He said again, “Belle, I want to eat…”
“Broiled pork knuckles, shredded cabbage, and hot pot! I remember them all.” Su Beibei added Noland’s words.
Noland laughed blankly. “You are so kind.”
“Okay, I’ll go shopping for groceries, and call me when I get there.”
“OK.”
Su Beibei drove the child and aunt to the supermarket to buy groceries. It took more than 40 minutes. Back home, Li Ao put together the puzzle that Han Jun gave him in the living room, and Su Beibei and auntie were cooking together in the kitchen.
Auntie is preparing to make a mandarin duck pot, she is making stock. Su Beibei made braised pig’s knuckles on another stove. When the pig’s knuckles were almost out of the pot, Su Beibei’s cell phone rang.
Seeing that it was Nolande calling, Su Beibei turned off the fire and walked outside the house while talking on the phone while holding his mobile phone. “Where have you been?”
Noland was sitting in a Mercedes-Benz. While driving, he looked at the house outside. He said, “I was turning and saw…”
“you.”
Noland saw Su Beibei.
She was standing at the gate of a house, her black hair was **** casually, two green silks and cherry-red lipstick hung on her forehead, making her full of aura.
She was wearing a white tight-fitting camisole with a black motorcycle leather jacket, and light gray jeans wrapped in long legs. It was a cool and sassy dress, but there was a pair of black fluffy slippers on the soles of the feet, and there were two devil horns on the slippers.
Those cute slippers broke her coolness and added a lot of cuteness.
Su Beibei heard the sound of cars, looked up to the concrete road, and saw a black Mercedes-Benz approaching. She squinted her eyes, as if she wanted to see the driver clearly.
Noland parked the car on the side of the road.
He put on his sunglasses, pushed the car door and walked down. Noland wears a long beige trench coat with a round neck casual t-shirt and light gray casual trousers with vertical stripes.
The white sneakers gently kicked the stones on the ground. Noland stretched out his hands from his pockets, opened his arms to Su Beibei, raised his lips, and said, “Belle, come, hug.”
Su Beibei went down the stairs and stood in front of Noland.
She found that Noland was a lot taller than herself.
Noland made a gesture of waiting for a hug, but Su Beibei reached out and punched him in the chest, “Fuck off, what hug, do you think you are still a seven or eight year old child?”
Su Beibei was sent out of the country by Mu Mian when she was less than seven years old. At the age of ten, the butler found that she could accomplish everything on her own, so she left her and returned to China.
Su Beibei lives alone in a foreign country and it is false to say that she is not afraid. Fortunately, there was a pair of elderly people living next to her house. The old lady was Chinese, and she was Norland’s grandmother. The old lady regarded Su Beibei as a granddaughter and often cooked Su Beibei’s food. Because of the elder’s company and maintenance, Su Beibei would not be bullied by others.
When Su Beibei was ten years old, Noland came to his grandparents’ house for summer vacation. That was the first time they met.
Noland was kidnapped and blackmailed when he was a child. When he was found, he was almost dying and was traumatized. After a period of treatment, the psychiatrist learned that Noland is very attached to his grandparents, and proposed to send Noland to his grandparents to raise him.
Su Beibei saw Norland for the first time in the afternoon after school. When she got off the school bus, she saw Nolande being chased and bitten by a little milk dog in the neighbor’s house.
The kid was very afraid of dogs, and ran while barking, and fell down.
Su Beibei aroused Nolandera and ran with him. Disgusting that Noland was running slowly with soft legs, Su Beibei directly picked him up and ran.
Later, the dog chased Noland again, but Su Beibei was beaten away.
Noland lived in his grandparents’ house for three years.
In those three years, when Su Beibei was off school and vacation, Noland always played with her, her little tail.
Noland thinks that Su Beibei who can beat the dog is a hero.
Knowing that Su Beibei is Chinese and admiring the Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee, Norland pestered Su Beibei to teach him Chinese Kung Fu. Su Beibei bought two wooden swords to charge swords wherever he knew Kung Fu, and taught Noland to practice the Emei sword.
Accompanied by Su Beibei and his grandparents day and night, Noland finally walked out of his psychological shadow. He was taken back to his parents and received an elite education. Only on vacation would he come to his grandparents’ house.
The two grew up together and didn’t separate until Su Beibei returned to China when he was 20 years old.
When she first returned to China, Noland also flew to China to meet her.
Su Beibei still clearly remembers what happened on her 23rd birthday.
Su Beibei’s birthday is the sixteenth of the first lunar month. It snowed in Wangdongcheng that day, and there was no one in the cafe at night, so Su Beibei asked Akun to leave work earlier.
She was about to close the cafe door and went upstairs to write, but saw a tall and tall figure standing in the middle of the road outside the coffee shop.
The 18-year-old is wearing a blue down jacket, a knitted hat on his head, and a **** umbrella standing in the snow.
At that time, Noland was preparing for the SAT test in March. He was not a very smart teenager, and he was studying hard by himself.
His daily time is fully arranged, so Su Beibei was very surprised when he saw a teenager who should have been studying in New York and appeared in front of her coffee shop in the wind and snow.
Noland walked into the house against the wind and snow, handed a birthday gift to Su Beibei, bowed his head and said to her: “Belle, happy birthday to you.”
Su Beibei was surprised.
She held the small box and asked Noland: “Why are you here?”
Noland said: “Birthday for you.”
Su Beibei was a little moved. She looked at the goose feathers outside the door and said: “Wangdongcheng is very snowy, and the flights have been grounded. Why did you come here?”
Noland actually said: “I first flew to Junyang City, and then took the high-speed rail.” Noland poked his hand and asked her: “Would you not make me a cup of coffee?”
Su Beibei made a cup of coffee for the teenager and added a few more sugar cubes.
The boy drank coffee, checked the time, and at the last second of her birthday, he said to her, “Happy birthday, Belle.”
Su Beibei’s moved eyes were red.
“I have to go, or I won’t catch the flight, Belle, I hope you like the present.”
The boy came in the snow, and walked away.
It was also in the late summer and early autumn of that year that Su Beibei met Li Li.
Calculating carefully, Su Beibei and Noland have not seen each other for almost four years, but the young boy with a sense of youth has grown into a charming man.
When Noland heard this familiar “child”, he told Su Beibei very seriously: “I am 21 years old and I am not a child. Now I am a national idol, and I have reached the legal age for marriage. Up.”
Su Beibei gave a loud cry, and then said, “My child.”
Noland showed a frustrated expression.
Su Beibei smiled and suddenly shouted: “Cong Nuo.”
Noland was taken aback for a moment, then a bright smile spread out on that deep handsome cheek. “Since my grandma passed away, no one has called me by this name again.” Noland’s grandma passed away when he was 14 years old. After that, no one called him by his Chinese name.
The door behind him opened, Li Ao stood at the crack of the door, looking at the man in front of Su Beibei curiously, and asked: “Mom, is Uncle Cong Nuo here?”
Noland took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of turquoise eyes. He walked around Su Beibei’s right behind Su Beibei, shook his head at Li Ao who was standing under the gate, and said, “Hello Neil, I am Cong Nuo.”
“Good uncle.” Li Ao stared at Nolande’s appearance, thinking: Where is this fairy, look good!
Su Beibei turned around and said to Noland, “Go in, you are a celebrity now, it’s not good to be seen.”
“it is good.”
Noland was very tall, 1.9 meters away. He stood in front of the door and looked at the door frame, confirming that he would not be hit with his head, and then strode into the house.
Seeing that Su Beibei’s friend was such a tall and handsome young guy, her expression changed slightly and she didn’t know what she was thinking.
After entering the house, Noland took out his car key from his trench coat pocket and said to Li Ao: “Uncle brought you a gift. In the trunk, would you like to see it yourself?”
“Wow!”
Li Ao didn’t admit to being born either, he took Noland’s car key and ran out.
Li Ao was still small and short, standing behind the bottom of an off-road Mercedes-Benz like a dwarf, unable to open the trunk at all.
Noland stood by the window and looked at him. Seeing Li Ao’s shriveled appearance, he couldn’t help but shrugged and laughed.
Su Beibei warned him: “Don’t bully my son!”
Noland said: “Okay, don’t bully him.”
Noland got out of the house, strode to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and carried a large box out.
After entering the house, Nolande and Li Ao unpacked the box together. Seeing that there was a child balance bike in the box, Li Ao immediately cheered, “Wow, it’s a balance bike!”
Li Ao himself pulled the balance bike out of the box. Noland helped him adjust the height of the seat and said to Li Ao, “Neil, sit on it and take a look.”
Li Ao quickly lifted his short legs and sat on it.
The seat jumped to the shortest position, and Li Ao was just right for playing. He sat on the balance car, holding the faucet with both hands, raised his head and asked Noland: “How do you know I want a balance car?”
Noland said: “I’ve read your mother’s WeChat account. She posted a video yesterday of you standing in the park watching a child riding a balance bike.”
Noland touched Li Ao’s head. He said, “Is uncle very smart? You guessed it right?”
Li Ao nodded.
Noland put on a helmet for Li Ao, and said to Li Ao: “Riding by yourself, a man can’t be afraid of falling.”
“it is good!”
Li Ao rode the car around in the small living room a few times, then went to the kitchen door to show off his new baby to Su Beibei. “Mom, look, my uncle bought me a balance bike.”
Su Beibei had a smile in her eyes, “Well, have you thanked Uncle yet?”
Li Ao yelled to Norland: “Thank you Uncle Cong Nuo.”
“You’re welcome.”
Noland is a public figure, so it is not convenient to take Li Ao out for a bike ride, so he plays with him in the living room. Auntie is making hot pot while looking at the big and small in the living room, feeling bad in her heart.
She felt that this foreigner was trying to please Li Ao.
Why should I please Li Ao?
The aunt stared at Su Beibei, who was cutting the fat cow beside her, looking at Su Beibei’s beautiful young and **** figure, and suddenly guessed something possible.
The aunt couldn’t ask too straightforwardly, and couldn’t manage too much of the master’s affairs. She asked from the side: “Bebe, that promise…” She didn’t figure out the name of the young man.
“Cong Nuo.”
“Yes, does Cong Nuo have a girlfriend?”
Su Beibei said: “He is a singer, five years younger than me. Don’t worry about talking about his girlfriend.”
It’s over, still a single man!
The aunt asked again: “Then what kind of girl does he like?”
Su Beibei shook her head, sliced each piece of fat beef into the same thickness, and said: “I don’t know, we haven’t seen each other for many years, I haven’t asked about this.”
Auntie didn’t ask now.
Noland likes to eat Chinese food very much, but his father did not learn the ability to cook Chinese food first-hand from his grandmother. When he wants to eat Chinese food, he can only go to Foreigner Street. But the Chinese food outside doesn’t always taste like grandma’s cooking.
But Su Beibei’s craftsmanship was learned from his grandmother, and eating Su Beibei’s dishes is the same as eating grandma’s dishes.
After dinner, Noland talked with Su Beibei for a long time. Talk about his life in the past few years, talk about his next work arrangements, and talk about funny stories from childhood.
He is very smart and sensible, and would not take the initiative to mention Su Beibei and her ex-husband for fear of hurting her heart.
Su Beibei listened to him chattering a lot, and when he stopped, she asked, “Have you been in love in the past few years?”
Noland shook his head, “No, I want to concentrate on music.”
Su Beibei laughed, sat on the ground to sort out her manuscript, and asked, “What kind of girl do you like?”
Noland glanced at Su Beibei secretly.
She hung her head to pack things, the camisole couldn’t stop the large white skin on her chest and collarbone. Noland secretly swallowed his throat, then turned to look out the window, and said in a erratic voice, “The person I like doesn’t like me.”
Su Beibei stopped her hands and looked up at the young man. Seeing some sadness in the man’s eyes, she showed a caring look and asked in surprise: “Oh? Is there anyone who doesn’t like big stars?”
Noland laughed at himself, “I’m not really a fanatic.”
Noland took the cigarette out of his pocket, put the cigarette on the cigarette case and lighted it twice, wanted to smoke it, and realized that there were children in the family, so he held back.
He stroked the cigarette with his fingers, lowered his head, and said inexplicably, “I have liked her for many years, and she doesn’t like me.”
“Have you confessed?”
Noland gave a hum. He said, “I have confessed it a long time ago, but she didn’t respond to my feelings.” He blinked his eyelashes and whispered, “She married someone else.”
Su Beibei apologized to him with a surprised and helpless expression, “I’m sorry, I mentioned your sadness.”
Noland smiled and said, “It’s okay.” He stared at Su Beibei’s beautiful cheeks and cherry red lips, and murmured: “She will come to me soon. I won’t let her leave this time. .”
Su Beibei frowned and her expression became more serious. She said to Noland very seriously: “Cong Nuo, if someone is married, then you are married. You can’t do this. You are a public figure. Once this happens, If it is exposed, your future will be ruined.”
Noland’s shoulders were shaking with a smile.
Su Beibei showed an inexplicable expression, “What are you laughing at?”
Noland burst into tears. He used those hands that played the piano and the guitar to pinch the microphone, gently wiped away the tears, looked at Su Beibei and said, “You are so cute.”
Su Beibei: “…”
She kicked Noland with that foot.
Noland stayed with Su Beibei until nine o’clock in the evening before leaving. At night, there were few people near the house, and Su Beibei sent Noland to the car.
Noland got in the car, took off his sunglasses, and said to Su Beibei: “You are very welcome back to America, Belle. When will I go to New York with me, I want to take you to see my grandma.”
“Find a time.”
“it is good.”
Sending off Noland, Su Beibei played with Li Ao for a while, and then asked him to take a bath and sleep. After Li Ao fell asleep, Su Beibei also took a shower, then sat at the desk and turned on the computer, preparing to complete the tasks assigned by the professor.
Li Li’s call came.
Su Beibei answered the phone and heard Li Li’s question: “Beibei, what are you doing?” Ironically, after the divorce, Li Li called her more frequently than before the divorce.
Su Beibei said: “I am studying.”
“It’s hard work.”
Su Beibei doesn’t feel bitter. What kind of bitterness is this, the really bitter days have long passed.
Li Li told Su Beibei: “I bought a balance bike for Neil, and it will probably arrive tomorrow.” Like Noland, Li Li also saw the short video that Su Beibei posted on Moments of Friends.
Knowing that Li Ao likes balance bikes, Li Li ordered one online.
Su Beibei was a little surprised and wanted to say that Li Ao already had a balance bike. Considering that Li Li would be sad to hear the news, she did not say.
The two chatted for a few words, and finally ended the conversation with Su Beibei wanting to learn.
The next day, after having breakfast, Su Beibei went to class.
Li Ao couldn’t sleep late at night, so he made a video to his aunt, wanting to see Li Ao.
It’s daytime in Los Angeles, and the aunt is playing a balance bike with Li Ao. When Li Li said that he wanted to see his son, the aunt pointed the camera at Li Ao. She said, “Look, sir, Li Ao learns to drive very quickly.”
Li Li smiled and said, “Are you going to ride so soon?”
Li Li stared at the figure of his son riding a bicycle, and noticed that the balance bike under his son had a black body, but the wheel was orange.
He frowned suddenly.
Li Li quickly opened the shopping website to see the car he bought for Li Ao the day before yesterday. His car has a black body and green wheels!
Who bought this car for Li Ao?
Li Li asked his aunt: “Who bought Li Ao’s car?”
The aunt didn’t think much, and said bluntly: “A friend of Beibei’s visitor came to the house last night. This car is a gift from him to Li Ao. I heard it’s not cheap! It’s very lightweight and Li Ao loves it.
Li Li squinted her eyes slightly, leaning against the head of the bed, her eyes were dark, but her tone was as usual: “Oh? Did Beibei have friends as guests when she first arrived in Los Angeles? What do her friends do?”
“I heard that he is a big star, he looks very handsome.” Handsomeness knows no boundaries. Aunt Rao can also tell that Noland is a big handsome.
Li Li suddenly clenched his fists.
Celebrity?
He said, “Is it Noland?”
“Yes! Noland, there seems to be another Chinese named Cong Nuo.”
Li Li smiled and said, “It’s him, he is the partner that Beibei knew when she was a child.”
The aunt said: “Let me just say, looking at the familiar appearance of the two people, I wonder when Beibei met such a friend.”
Li Li confessed a few words with his aunt, and then hung up the phone.
He couldn’t help holding his notebook and opened Noland’s personal website. This person’s website is made by domestic fans for Noland, and it will update all of Noland’s personal dynamics as soon as possible.
The newly released video title is very attractive-
Noland publicly chooses a mate for the first time!
Li Li opened the video and saw the blond young man wearing a blue suit sitting on a sofa, accepting questions from well-known show hosts.
The host first asked him some work questions, and then asked him personal questions.
“Norland, you have been in the debut for two and a half years, and you haven’t seen your relationship openly. The paparazzi has never arranged a picture of you and a girl in a double right. I’m very curious, Noland, your mate conditions are What? Or in more detail, is it male or female?”
When Noland heard this question, he didn’t mind shook his head and smiled, and replied in a slightly faster American accent: “First of all, declare that my sexual orientation is female.”
The host made a regretful look and said: “It’s a pity, I also want to exchange phone numbers with you after the interview.”
Noland smiled softly, and then said: “In fact, I have a person I like, but because I haven’t chased her, you must not be able to take pictures of me and the girl who are in pairs. .”
“Oh? What kind of girl do you like?”
When Noland was about to speak, the host said again: “You have to answer carefully, be careful to lose followers.”
Noland looked at the camera with a firm look. He said: “Whoever loves me will naturally always love me. I will never wrong the girl I like in order to please fans. Wait until my courtship is successful. I will announce her existence to the world! In my eyes, the girl I like is the best girl in the world. Of course, I also believe that my female fans will also encounter them as angels. The real son.”
Seeing that Noland was so serious, the host couldn’t help becoming serious. “So, what kind of person is the girl you like?”
Noland’s expression became gentle. He touched his ears very shyly, as if confessing in the air, saying: “She is very brave, full of courage, and amazing talent.” After a pause, No. Rand said: “Because of her, I fell in love with the world again.”
The host has done his homework a long time ago. He blinked at Noland and said gossiping: “We all know that you have a wall of bookcases in your house, which is used to store books by a Chinese suspenseful author. Let me guess. Now, is that amazingly talented writer a girl you like?”
Noland smiled unpredictably before saying, “This is a secret.”
After watching the interview video, Li Li suddenly closed the lid of his laptop.
Maybe the host and fans would think that Nolande simply regarded Su Beibei as an idol, but Li Li knew well the wolf’s ambitions of this dog.
He is a super star, not only learns Chinese people to play WeChat, but also signs up for Weibo, and only follows Su Beibei! Others didn’t know what he was making, but Li Li knew it well!
Li Li picked up the phone and dialed an international number.
“Mr. Li.” A thick male voice came out of the receiver.
Li Li squeezed the phone and asked him, “Did you photograph anything last night?”
The person at the other end was quiet, and then said: “There is something, I am organizing the pictures of the past few days, and I am going to pack it and send it to you.”
Li Li gave a hum. He said, “Send it to me as soon as possible.”
“Okay, Mr. Li.”
