Chapter 686: A pleasant time, a back view (Part 1 and 2)
The exam is over and everyone is in a good mood.
"Why don't you go out for a walk?"
They had been in Zurich for several days, and were either staying in hotels, examination halls, or restaurants. They did organize a tour on the first day, but the locations they chose, such as the university and the library, felt too solemn and lacked some freedom.
“I heard Zurich is very beautiful.”
“There are a lot of delicious things.”
“The hospital here is the best in the world.”
"...How can you talk like that? We're going to have fun, not go to the hospital!"
Wei Kongjue immediately shut up and made a zippering gesture.
Everyone agreed and finally decided that Jiang Fuyue would talk to Yuan Bentao.
"Why me?"
Ling Xuan: "Cough!"
Chen Cheng: "Only Sister Yue dares."
Tan Jiaxu nodded and said seriously, "Only you dare."
Guo Zidong thought for a moment and said, "Professor Yuan will definitely give you face."
Wei Kongjue: "Professor Yuan is a little scared of you, really. As long as you ask, he will definitely agree."
“…”
Then, Jiang Fuyue went.
Yuan Bentao readily agreed: "Don't go too far, come back before dark."
Everyone: Sister Yue is here, one is worth two.
They first went to Lake Zurich, where the water was clear and filled with flocks of swans.
Chen Cheng handed the phone to Tan Jiaxu and said, "Take some pictures for me. I'll take them back to show my family. They've never been abroad before."
After saying that, he ran to the lake, opened his arms towards the camera, and raised the corners of his mouth.
Tan Jiaxu: "Okay. Let's try another move."
Chen Cheng made a V sign with both hands.
Tan Jiaxu: "Change it again."
Chen Cheng took many photos in succession. Under the blue sky, there were two teenagers, one posing and the other taking photos. The breath of youth was everywhere.
Wei Kongjue was also a little tempted. After Chen Cheng finished taking the photos, he asked Tan Jiaxu if he could take two photos for him as well.
He just took a look and found that Tan Jiaxu's photos were quite nice.
Tan Jiaxu nodded: "Okay. Who else would like to take pictures of? Come one by one."
Guo Zidong immediately raised his hand: "Me, me, me! I want to take a photo with the Ugly Duckling Plus version!"
"Wei Kongjue, go over there and stand still."
"here?"
"Left... a little ahead... turn around, look back..."
Tan Jiaxu: "Yes, very good."
If you don’t know, you might think it’s a professional photographer shooting the cover of a fashion magazine.
"Lingxuan, aren't you going to take pictures?"
"You guys take the photos." He waved his hand, "I'll take the scenery."
"Okay. Where's Sister Yue?"
"There—"
By the sparkling lake, Jiang Fuyue was wearing a long windbreaker, his hands in his pockets, facing the sunshine and gazing into the distance.
The wind blew her long black hair, giving her a unique sense of coolness.
Ling Xuan raised his phone and quietly pressed the camera button at the scene.
Snap——
The picture freezes.
Tan Jiaxu stared blankly in that direction, his eyes filled with admiration and praise: "Sister Yue is so beautiful..."
Chen Cheng was also stunned: "Looks like the protagonist walked out of a TV series."
Wei Kongjue and Guo Zidong had not known Jiang Fuyue for long and did not know much about her.
All I saw and heard was her amazing learning talent and terrifying IQ, so I subconsciously ignored her beauty or ugliness.
Now at first glance, how can this be called a beauty?
She is even more beautiful than a fairy.
This age is the time of youth and restlessness. The two boys couldn't bear it anymore and their hearts were pounding.
After all, who doesn’t like beautiful things? Who wouldn’t be moved? Who wouldn’t want to take a second look?
They are no exception!
Jiang Fuyue, who was walking and stopping along the lakeside at the moment, was unaware of everyone's reactions. He heard the geese calling in his ears, felt the soft breeze on his face, and the sunshine spread all over his body. Every pore of his body exuded comfort.
She held the railing with both hands and looked casually at the other side.
Suddenly, his eyes paused——
In the sunlight, the man was wearing a gray coat and stood tall.
Because we were facing away from him, we could only see a little bit of his profile, but we had no idea of his exact appearance.
But that back...
Jiang Fuyue frowned, feeling as if she had seen him somewhere before.
When she wanted to take a closer look, the other person had already walked away.
Across the lake.
"Mr. Lou, the car has been repaired and we can leave now."
"Yeah." Lou Mingshen strode out of the park and got into the car.
"Let's go."
The driver started the engine and the luxurious Bentley moved forward smoothly.
Inside the car——
The assistant reported: "Resource integration... financial integration... human resources are also open and shared... we expect to be finished tomorrow. So, when should we return to the capital?"
Lou Mingshen looked at the receding street outside the window, his face expressionless, his voice as cold as water: "The day after tomorrow."
"Yes, I'll book the ticket right away."
…
After leaving Lake Zurich, Jiang Fuyue and his party went to St. Peter's Church.
The solemn ringing of bells accompanied by the music of the choir added to the solemnity.
Here, they asked passers-by for help and took a group photo.
In the photo, Jiang Fuyue stood in the middle, Ling Xuan was on her left, while Chen Cheng and Tan Jiaxu were squeezed on the right, with Wei Kongjue and Guo Zidong on the side.
"Why are we so far away from Sister Yue? No, the three of us need to take another photo alone."
In this way, Wei Kongjue and Guo Zidong stood on both sides of Jiang Fuyue as they wished.
Snap——
The last stop is Bahnhofstrasse.
This place is known as the "richest street in the world". It is 1.4 kilometers long and roughly parallel to the Limmat River. It is full of famous shops and banks.
To ensure air quality, cars are prohibited from passing through the streets and only trams are available for transportation.
The air was filled with a sweet fragrance, the streets were spotlessly clean, and even the sky seemed bluer than anywhere else.
Chen Cheng pointed at the bare branches beside the road and asked curiously, "What kind of tree is this?"
Tan Jiaxu shook his head.
Wei Kongjue and Guo Zidong didn't know either.
"Lime tree." Jiang Fuyue and Ling Xuan spoke at the same time.
Their eyes met, the boy's mouth corners tightened, and he was the first to look away.
Several people walked in front. Jiang Fuyue deliberately fell two steps behind and called out to him, "Ling Xuan."
"……What's up?"
"What happened in the Tunisian quarantine, you shouldn't have done that."
The young man half-closed his eyelids and remained silent for a long time before he whispered, "...I'm sorry, I didn't think that much at the time."
I just want to go in and accompany you.
Jiang Fuyue: "Life is at stake. Staying alive is more important than anything else. Don't let your impulse cloud your reason."
The boy's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly: "...Hmm."
In fact, he really wanted to say that it was not a momentary impulse.
But in the end it was not exported.
Jiang Fuyue quickened his pace and caught up with the people in front.
Ling Xuan followed slowly behind, staring at the girl's back for a long time, unable to look away.
He thought that what he couldn't say now, he would be able to tell her one day in the future.
Tan Jiaxu: "Sister Yue, what about the house across the street with the red flowers in front of the window?"
“RS National Bank.”
"Have you been here before?"
Jiang Fuyue shook her head. She didn't lie. It was indeed her first time here in her life.
"Then how do you know everything?"
"Reading."
“…”Okay, that’s fine.
After being tired of shopping, a few people went into a restaurant and prepared to have dinner there.
Wei Kongjue flipped open the menu, and the next second, he exclaimed, "What a feast!"
From French cuisine to Mediterranean snacks, Japanese cuisine to Chinese dishes, this restaurant has it all!
In the end, they ordered steak, grilled sausages, and added cheese fondue out of curiosity.
The boss, however, stumbled over what he said and asked for repetitions several times.
"Huh? He doesn't seem to understand English very well?"
Ling Xuan's accent is authentic British, so it should be understandable.
The boss seemed to see their confusion and explained in a language they couldn't understand, gesturing as he spoke.
Chen Cheng and Tan Jiaxu huddled aside, not daring to speak.
They all learned dumb English in China, and could only do the exercises but not speak. They could understand what Ling Xuan said just now, but when the boss opened his mouth, their heads were about to explode.
Wei Kongjue and Guo Zidong were not much better off.
Although they have no problem with listening, speaking, reading and writing, the prerequisite is that the other party must speak English!
I don't know what language the boss speaks.
"Ling Xuan, do you understand? What did he say?"
This time, Ling Xuan also shook his head.
Only Jiang Fuyue listened to the boss carefully, smiled, and responded to him in the same words.
The boss danced with joy, and after a lot of chatter, he went back to the kitchen.
When Jiang Fuyue turned around, he met several faces full of curiosity.
Well……
Chen Cheng: "Sister Yue, can you understand what the boss is saying?"
"A little bit."
Tan Jiaxu: "What did he say?"
"Romance."
"What do you mean?"
"He explained to us that his daughter, who used to take orders, had gone to church and wasn't back yet, so it was just him and his wife in the store. They only spoke Romansh. To apologize, he gave us a pitcher of craft beer."
"Sister Yue, you're... too amazing!"
"How come you know everything? Even Romansh."
"Have you been learning this since childhood? Is it difficult?"
Jiang Fuyue: "I just started recently. It's not difficult. Just read the book."
Everyone: "..." I suspect you are in Versailles.
At that moment, a Bentley pulled up in front of the store. The assistant glanced at the man pretending to sleep with his eyes closed and whispered, "Mr. Lou, if we drive a little further, we'll reach Bahnhofstrasse. We need to turn around here. There's a restaurant nearby. The sign says it serves Chinese food. Would you... like to try it?"
Lou Mingshen opened his eyes and turned his head to look out the window.
Two updates together, 3,000 words.
Three updates tomorrow.
