Chapter 50
Chapter 50
On Monday, June 6th, the water city changed from cloudy to rainy.
Lido Island is very small, maybe even smaller than a hot spring town. You can see every corner of the island by walking for two hours. It is probably because of its small size and many privately planned forbidden areas. Tourists After coming in for less than half an hour, you will leave bored again, so the island is still quiet.
But if it comes to the end of August, the island will be overcrowded, because the internationally famous Water City Film Festival will be scheduled at that time, and tourists will come here in a rush, reporters, directors, actors from various countries Other media and entertainment personnel will also gather together, which is very lively.
I remember that Xue Qinghe's film, which is very popular in Southeast Asia, was selected for this year's Water City Film Festival. Unfortunately, it is still a little earlier than August...
Yesterday, because of the impact of trivial matters at home, I was mentally exhausted, and I was abducted by Yan Shouzhen into the sea. After swimming in the sapphire-like sea water for more than an hour, I finally washed away the haze in my heart. That piece of skin was gradually sunburned red, showing faint signs of shedding.
I didn't pay much attention to it, because of my special skin type, my skin would be allergic to any cosmetics on the market, including sunscreen, so when I went swimming in the sea under the sun in June, I was already mentally prepared and burned The place where it looks like it is very serious, but in fact there is only a dull pain. I don't think it's a big problem, at least this little pain is within the range I can bear.
Yan Shouzhen, however, was dying of distress and regret, and hurriedly took me back to the seaside villa. After I took a bath, he carefully applied fresh milk mixed with ice water to the burning skin. I feel cool and cool, and the pain from the burn really eased a lot.
Later, I don’t know where Yan Shouzhen got a large bunch of tender aloe vera leaves, and several kinds of herbs, fruits and vegetables that I don’t know. After peeling off the surface of the skin, pound the mesophyll into a paste, apply it evenly, and change it every hour. At night, my sunburned skin at noon miraculously recovered!
This is something that has never happened before!
Yan Shouzhen was happier than me. He called someone, and it seemed that he wanted to develop this sunscreen for me.
I was excited and confident, as long as I wanted to swim, I could swim as much as I wanted, no matter whether it was day or night, the infinity pool on the top floor of the Lion City Villa attracted sea water!
Thinking that this man's mind was all on me, I was moved, so I couldn't help but put my head in his arms, disturbing his phone conversation for a while, and hearing his voice getting hoarse, I knew it. evacuation from dangerous places.
Of course, my legs are not as long as Yan Shouzhen's, and my speed is not as fast as his. I was caught by him in the next second, and I still had to face the fire that kept spreading. How to put out the fire.
Since I was still thinking about swimming in the sea again today, Yan Shouzhen deliberately took me away from Lido Island and transferred me to the main island of the floating city for fear that my skin that had just healed would be burned again.
What impressed me most about the city’s main island was a text I learned in elementary school, which talked about the local people’s transportation has been replaced by a small boat called a “gondola” instead of a car.
At that time, I was only in the fifth grade, and I was very yearning for the romantic life of sitting on this small boat and being able to shuttle freely in the water alleys. However, as I grew up, I had more experience and more temptations, and my previous longing was also dusty in my heart. up.
And when I was in the city on the water, I realized that "Gondola" is not worth mentioning at all. This city, born of water, beautiful because of water, and prosperous because of water, is so beautiful, too shocking, and too dizzying up!
The slowly surging water pushes the gondola through the cobweb-like water alleys. When you look up, you can see clusters of vibrant but unnamed flowers on the balconies of the residents. They are freshly painted. The exterior walls, the varied shutters, the peach-red roof...
Just too many tourists!
Today the clouds are a little low, there is no sun, sitting on the gondola, the wind is blowing on the body, shuttling in the criss-crossing water alleys, the comfort is very comfortable, but several times at the turn of the narrow water alleys, almost with others The gondola hit the...
But thinking of this time, Hua Guo’s third-year high school students have already finished their college entrance examinations, and junior high school students in some provinces have also finished their exams one after another, and the students of Lion City Junior College are also on vacation. Students in the country also have holidays, and it is normal for there to be many tourists.
The clouds were getting lower and lower, and soon a thin layer of rain and fog was fluttering.
In the smog, the whole city on the water is like a mysterious woman wrapped in a layer of tulle, dignified but full of charm.
In fact, traveling through the water alley in the rain is more emotional, but Yan Shouzhen is worried that I will catch a cold, so he insists on dragging me to a restaurant in the street to avoid the rain.
Fortunately, there are several restaurants in each alley, which scattered a lot of tourists, so it was not very crowded.
It's just that the steak and desserts are too bad!
It's really not that I'm too picky, because the guests at the adjacent table have been disgusted with how unpalatable and expensive the Chinese food is.
Because all the expenses for travel are swiped by Yan Shouzhen. Although I don’t know how expensive the price is, this floating city is a world-renowned tourist attraction, and things cannot be cheap.
After the meal, the rain outside became heavier.
The temperature dropped significantly by several degrees.
Free umbrellas are provided at the entrance of the restaurant, as well as scarves with a single style and rough workmanship, but the latter needs to pay 30 Euros to pick one.
Yan Shouzhen picked a white scarf to tie for me. It was ugly, but it was really warm, so I also picked a light brown scarf and tied it for Yan Shouzhen.
Probably because Yan Shouzhen and I wore the scarves with good results. We advertised the scarves for free, and the tourists who followed us gathered around to pick them out.
Into the pedestrian-studded streets, besides restaurants, fashion stores, and cafes, there are exquisite handicraft shops everywhere, especially mask shops.
It is also the first time I have seen so many exquisite masks.
The moment you step into the mask shop, it's like entering the palace of art. The gorgeous and delicate masks are like the epitome of luxury in the old century, with bright and colorful colors, exquisite outline borders, and complicated jewelry embellishments. , so luxurious, and so extravagant, it is simply dazzling.
I picked a mask at random, covered my face, turned around and smiled at Yan Shouzhen, then turned the mask over and put it on Yan Shouzhen's face to cover it, this man actually wore a luxurious mask Aloof king demeanor.
Yan Shouzhen squinted his eyes slightly, his original casual expression retracted, and his eyes scanned the counter carefully, pointed to a few masks on display, and said to the shopkeeper: "This, this, this, and this, No, everything else is packed."
The owner of the store is a middle-aged man. He probably saw too many tourists who just don’t want to buy. He was yawning boredly. Listening to the words of the word, he swallowed half of the yawn, and the whole body He jumped up, stared at Yan Shouzhen in disbelief, and asked hesitantly, "Sir, you...you mean...buy them all?"
"No," Yan Shouzhen pointed again at the masks he picked out earlier, "I don't want these ones."
"Okay!" The owner blushed with excitement and kept rubbing his hands.
"Hey!" I grabbed Yan Shouzhen's hand in astonishment, "Why are you buying so much?!"
There are at least fifty or sixty masks displayed on the counter!And the price is expensive, ranging from more than 200 Euros to thousands of Euros, which is different from the 20 Euro masks displayed on the street!
As a result, Yan Shouzhen said lightly, "You look good wearing it."
I:! ! !
Then there is no need to buy so much!Besides, how to bring it back? !
However, the shop owners here are in the business of tourists. They have a complete range of shipping channels, as long as they fill in the address, they can be air-shipped to any corner of the world.
Although Yan Shouzhen is really rich in money, I still feel distressed to see him spending money like water like this!
The store owner complimented Shouzhen, while looking at me in fear. He probably saw that I was not willing to buy it, so he smiled and told me that the mask in my hand can be given to me as a gift.
I threw it away like a hot potato.
"Thanks." After filling in the address, Yan Shouzhen took the mask picked up by the shop owner, and showed his card to pay the bill.
Everything is a fait accompli, I decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with him about saving.
Yan Shouzhen saw that I was unhappy, he smiled, and dragged me around a few alleys to an art booth.
It was a painting beach for tourists to draw portraits, and the small corners were filled with paintings of portraits of many people.
The stall owner was an Asian man. He raised his haggard face, his cloudy eyes lit up, and said in pure English: "One painting costs 5 Euros, and two people can share the same frame."
Yan Shouzhen immediately took out 10 Euros to the stall owner, but said to him: "Borrow your paper and pen, and I will draw."
"Oh?" The Asian man was taken aback, but still took the 10 Euro.
I:……
I'm not used to taking photos, and it's the first time I've been a model for a painting, especially when Yan Shouzhen's deep eyes wandered on my body, I always felt that it was his kiss that wandered on my body.
However, being a model is not as difficult as I imagined. At least Yan Shouzhen did not prohibit me from moving around. Sometimes he only raised his eyelids for a few seconds, and then lowered his head to outline seriously. Only a few minutes passed, I heard the stall owner exclaiming : "Oh my God! You are so beautiful! You are amazing!"
Yan Shouzhen just smiled, he was more confident in his paintings than anyone else.
My heart moved, and I suddenly remembered the huge picture frame that Yan Shouzhen hung in his study, and I couldn't help asking: "Have you ever painted me before?"
Yan Shouzhen was slightly taken aback, a smile gradually formed on his lips, and he nodded slightly.
I wanted to ask again, but unexpectedly the stall owner was so excited that he said in Chinese, "You are also Chinese!"
It is not surprising to see compatriots in different places, especially as the economy of China is gradually catching up with the powers of Western Europe, and the number of compatriots traveling is increasing year by year. No, in this crowded alley, Chinese-speaking tourists abound.
