Early July, Zurich.

It is already midsummer, but the weather this year is extremely abnormal. It has been drizzling all day long, and we haven't seen the sun for a whole month.

Lu Chengcheng raised his head from the drawing, took a deep breath, wrapped his clothes tighter, and turned to look out the window.

Outside the window, the fine raindrops were rustling, weaving a huge rain curtain between the sky and the earth, tightly enclosing the entire old city. Even the wide and gentle Limade River not far away had an unreal feeling of being shrouded in clouds and mist.

The cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated. Su Yingying picked it up and saw that it was a message from Shi Xiaoyuan, asking her to wait for her in the coffee shop for a while, and he would come to pick her up after seeing the patient.

Su Yingying put down her phone and rubbed her hands vigorously. It was too cold, really too cold.

"Welcome!"

The waiter at the door said something in German, and sure enough, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open. Two people who looked like students walked in, looked around, and chose a place not far from Lu Chengcheng to sit down.

The waiter in a black vest walked up to her and said politely, "Miss, this cup of coffee is cold. Let me heat it up for you."

Lu Chengcheng nodded, and soon, a cup of steaming cappuccino was placed in front of her. She blew the hot air into her hands, picked up the cup of coffee, and drank it gently.

"Hello, Yingying, I'm here!"

The door of the coffee shop opened with a swish, and Shi Xiaoyuan, who was wearing a beige windbreaker and black trousers, walked up to her with his hands in his windbreaker and a smile.

Lu Chengcheng smiled and packed up the drawings, put them in her handbag, left the coffee money and a tip for the waiter on the table, and walked out of the cafe with Shi Xiaoyuan's arm around her.

“It seems like I drew a lot this time.”

"Well, the cafe is a very romantic place. I feel like my thoughts open up very quickly here, and I can draw very smoothly."

There are four commonly used languages ​​in Switzerland. The area where they live is a German-speaking area. The two use German when talking to outsiders, but they speak Chinese to themselves, including their child. From the beginning of learning to speak, the two insisted on teaching her to speak Chinese, just because they didn't want her to forget her roots.

Shi Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "It's already 4:30 in the afternoon. Let's go back and cook. Didn't you promise me last night that you would cook a few more delicious dishes today?"

"good."

In Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse is the area with the most expensive land. Not only that, this street is also the richest street on the planet, on par with the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, and Fifth Avenue in New York, USA.

She still remembers that sixteen years ago, when she first came to Zurich to study, she was attracted by the local strong literary and artistic atmosphere and soon fell in love with this peaceful and beautiful place. It was also here that her comic creation began to flourish.

In addition to studying, she kept submitting articles to many newspapers and publishing houses at home and abroad. At first, only half of her manuscripts were accepted, and the other half were rejected. But later, not only were her manuscripts not rejected, but many large publishing houses also asked her to write articles, and her comics became more and more popular with readers.

Lu Chengcheng was sitting on the tram, looking out the window at the buildings on both sides of Bahnhofstrasse. Xiao Yuan had said that these houses were more than a hundred years old, so few of them were higher than five stories, and the prices were extremely expensive. Those who could live here were either rich or noble in Switzerland.

Coincidentally, the Shi family owns a house in this area. Now his parents prefer to live in a villa in the countryside, close to nature, rather than going to the city to experience the hustle and bustle, so they simply left the house to the couple for their convenience.

The tram stopped at Bahnhofstrasse. Lu Chengcheng and Shi Xiaoyuan got off the tram, walked to a small building, and rang the doorbell.

The nanny opened the door for the two of them. When she saw Lu Chengcheng, she smiled and said, "Madam, your friend from China is here to visit you."

Lu Chengcheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked across the courtyard and into the hall.

The four people who were originally sitting on the sofa chatting with Lu Chengyi all stood up. Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling smiled and said, "Cheng Cheng, long time no see."

Lu Chengcheng cheered, rushed over and hugged them both, tears of joy streaming down her face, "Maizi, Peiling, I really missed you guys."

Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling smiled and wiped the tears from her face. The three of them felt a little emotional. They became good friends when they were young. Although they went their separate ways in the past 16 years, their friendship has never changed at all.

Now, in middle age, they meet again in a foreign country.

Shi Xiaoyuan stepped in and said with a smile, "I've been thinking about you two all these years, and I've been looking forward to meeting you all day long."

Lu Chengyi smiled and said, "You've come all this way, it's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so you must stay a few more days before leaving."

Lu Chengcheng smiled and nodded vigorously, "My dad is right. You can't leave until you stay for three months this time."

Ruan Peiling burst out laughing. "Chengcheng, you're so happy you're confused. We're different from your father. You brought your father from China and he's got a long-term residence permit in Switzerland. But our visa is only valid for fifteen days. If we don't leave after fifteen days, we'll become illegal immigrants and be deported."

Lu Chengcheng's face suddenly fell, and he sighed deeply. "It's only been fifteen days. Now I only have less than a month left to stay in China. Sometimes I think about it and I really don't know whether it's right or wrong to get Swiss citizenship."

Cheng Maixiang and Ruan Peiling exchanged a glance and said with a smile, "Cheng Cheng, your family is now in Switzerland. You no longer have any relatives in your home country. Home is where your family is. Even if it's just for Shi Xiaoyuan, you deserve this citizenship."
