Chapter 281 A Birthday Full of Twists (7)

• Gao Cong nodded, looked at Marc Egerton, and said a line in Spanish: “Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente, y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te toca; parece que los ojos se te hubieran volado y parece que un beso te cerrara la boca.”
• If the first line was just a language flex, this one was language plus culture.
• The line came from the Spanish poet Neruda’s I Like For You To Be Still. If Marc Egerton could only speak Spanish but couldn’t pick up the next line of the poem, he’d be a step behind Gao Cong.
