The trip to Odessa took more time than we had anticipated.
The fastest way was by plane, but driving was the most convenient.
Yang Yi drove the car, Brian sat in the back seat, and Paul took the passenger seat.
As for Brian's mental preparation, Yang Yi hadn't finished it because he really didn't know how to persuade Brian.
Ever since they set off for Odessa, Brian's mental state had been unstable. He would often stare into space for a long time, his expression alternating between smiles, dejection, and at times, extreme excitement.
When he was excited, Brian talked a lot.
Like now.
"Paul, do you think I should go buy a bouquet first?"
"Uh, about that question… Boss, I think buying a bouquet is a good idea."
"Then what kind of flowers should I get?"
"Uh, what kind of flowers? This… roses?"
"No, I think tulips are better."
"Then tulips it is."
"No, tulips don't seem quite right either."
