Return to Singapore 1995

After Li Xiaofan returned to his dormitory and took a shower, he took out a large bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and sat happily in the living room watching TV.

It's quite fun to watch TV alone without anyone trying to fight for the remote control.

Before rebirth, no one in the dormitory grabbed the remote control because there was only one Chinese channel in Singapore that they could understand: Channel 8.

Now Li Xiaofan prefers to watch Channel 5 next door. The all-English Channel 5 is the mainstream TV channel in Singapore.

During the tea break in the factory, all the Singaporean and Malaysian employees at the bottom communicated were the content of Channel 8 programs. In the office, white-collar workers like Lin Qianxue disdain to watch Channel 8 programs. They basically watch Channel 5. Only a few times, or with their parents who graduated from Chinese schools in the early days, they will watch Channel 5. A wonderful show from Hapado.

Li Xiaofan still doesn't understand why Singapore calls its TV channel "Bado".

Among the current Channel 8 hosts, only Guo Liang is from mainland China. He is from Shanghai and graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy.

Guo Liang's standard Mandarin with a bit of a Singaporean accent, strong adaptability, and humor have made him gain a firm foothold on Channel 8.

Li Xiaofan had seen several domestic hosts who came to try out the program on Channel 8. They insisted on the straight-talking and serious hosting style in China, which was simply not acceptable here. He once met a mainland host who hosted a blind date program in the afternoon leisure time. The program was awkward from beginning to end. After one trial broadcast, he has never been seen on TV again.

At that time, the Singapore Television Corporation was still called TCS Singapore Television Agency, and was later reorganized into "MediaCorp".

Switching to Channel 5, "The X-Files", the pinnacle of the world's most popular science fiction dramas at the time, was playing.

"The X-Files" is an existence that is difficult to surpass in the history of American science fiction dramas.

The melodious and mysterious opening music of X-Files_Theme may be more widely spread than the series.

The first season of "The X-Files" premiered on Fox on September 10, 1993, and it was not completed until 2002 after nine seasons.

The actor Mulder graduated first in psychology from Oxford University and later joined the FBI. However, he gave up his promising future and actively requested to investigate the "X-Files". Such incidents are mysterious, supernatural, and supernatural phenomena that are difficult to explain with science and common sense...

Back then, because the conversation was all in English, Li Xiaofan and the others couldn't understand a word of it, but now, Li Xiaofan can read it with gusto.

But because he had drunk a lot of alcohol earlier, he fell asleep on the sofa halfway through.

When I woke up, it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning.

It was Zhou Haitao and Commander Wu who came back from Geylang who woke him up.

"Brothers, how are you doing, do you feel good?" Li Xiaofan opened his eyes in a daze and asked.

"Haha, so cool!"

"Where are the Atan people?"

"This guy is staying the night!"

"Haha, he must have been thinking about it for a long time..."

Today is off. Since it is a midnight shift, Li Xiaofan's working hours will be from 5:30 to 12 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Early the next morning, he finally had time to exercise early.

We started jogging from Orchid Flower Village to NTUC Club Resort. After working out our muscles in the gym, we went to the swimming pool.

After putting on my swimsuit and going down to the swimming pool, I was putting on my swimming cap and goggles.

Suddenly, "Wow, wow", someone splashed water on my face!

"Damn, who?"

Li Xiaofan cursed, wiped the water from his eyes, and then saw a beautiful and murderous little face in the swimming pool.

"Oh shit, Officer!"

The owner of this face is none other than his female boss, Lin Qianxue.

Today she wore a tight black one-piece swimsuit. She had a well-proportioned and plump figure, with a slight hint of wheat-colored skin. Her curvy figure looked healthy, youthful, and had a special kind of sex appeal after wearing the black swimsuit.

"Li Xiaofan!" she yelled, baring her teeth.

This time, she recognized Li Xiaofan before he could put on his swimming cap and goggles.

"Here, OFFICER!"

“Why don’t you work overtime and come here to swim?”

"I had a rest yesterday..."

"Why take a break and why don't you work overtime?"

"emm... Well, I've been working overtime recently and I'm tired. It's rare to take a day off..."

"Since you are tired, you actually come here to swim?"

emm...how can anyone answer this?

"I want to combine work and rest..."

"Then why did you swim so fast last time?"

emm...Isn't there something wrong with swimming fast?

"Okay, then I'll swim slower next time..."

With a "Pfft" sound, Lin Qianxue was happy and grinned with two rows of white teeth: "Haha, I'm teasing you!"

This was the first time Li Xiaofan saw Lin Qianxue smile, and she actually looked pretty when she smiled. I don't know why she had a black face in the factory and a fierce look, giving people a feeling of being repelled thousands of miles away.

After saying that, she plunged into the water and continued swimming, still in the standard freestyle style.

Chase! Li Xiaofan also jumped into the water and soon caught up with her in the swimming pool, and the two began to keep pace.

Soon, after several back and forths, Lin Qianxue was overtaken by Li Xiaofan and pulled down several meters.

Lin Qianxue, who was so strong, pouted and simply stopped swimming and waited for Li Xiaofan at the starting point.

After Li Xiaofan turned around, he was stopped by Lin Qianxue in the next lane:

"Hey, stop! How about we try a different swimming style?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, any style you want."

"How about backstroke? Ten rounds, 1,000 meters."

"Okay!"

"1, 2, 3, start!" After Lin Qianxue shouted the command, the two began the backstroke competition.

Lin Qianxue's backstroke posture was very standard, as flexible and light as a mermaid looking up to the sky. Driven by the splash of her feet, her movements were coordinated and her speed was very fast.

Li Xiaofan saw that she was so strong, and thought to himself: Forget it, I'll give you one chance!

He pretended to be not good at backstroke, and the gap between the two became larger and larger. After ten rounds, Li Xiaofan was almost 20 meters behind Lin Qianxue.

When he arrived at the finish line, Lin Qianxue had been waiting for a long time.

"Haha, Li Xiaofan, you finally lost!"

Lin Qianxue laughed happily in the water, and was so happy that she splashed water with her hands to hit the panting Li Xiaofan, like an innocent little girl

Li Xiaofan looked at the smiling Lin Qianxue in the swimming pool, and it was difficult to connect the girl in front of him with the domineering female boss in the factory.

"Well, OFFICER, I lost, in one word: I surrender!"

"Is there any punishment for losing?" Lin Qianxue said proudly.

"Punishment? I don't think I mentioned it before."

"Since you just arrived in Singapore, it's not easy to work and make money. As a punishment, you have to treat me to a McDonald's breakfast."

"Haha, OK, such a small request..."

"Then let's go ashore and change clothes quickly. I have to rush to work."

The McDonald's restaurant in the resort is next to the swimming pool. After the two of them changed, Li Xiaofan went into the restaurant and spent 7 Singapore dollars to order two value meals and two cups of coffee. He took them and sat down opposite Lin Qianxue:

"Come on, be careful of the hot coffee!"

"Thanks!"

After Lin Qianxue took the coffee, she found that Li Xiaofan's face was red, and asked curiously: "Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"
