Chapter 47
"In the morning I'll take you to visit the Queen Sofia Art Center, and then in the afternoon I'll take you to Retiro Park. There is a Crystal Palace in Retiro Park and I'd like to take you to see it. It's beautiful and I think you'll like it." Ronaldo said to Chunxi with a smile. Chunxi knew that the Crystal Palace in Retiro Park was a very beautiful place.
Retiro Park is the largest central park in Madrid. It once belonged to the royal family and is now one of the most popular places in Madrid. On weekends, citizens of Madrid come here to party, boat, and picnic. During festive nights, fireworks are set off, making it very lively. There are many small attractions in the park that are worth visiting, such as the lake in the park that guards the tomb of Alfonso XII, and there is a crystal palace built of metal and glass on the south bank of the lake. The park also has a large rose garden and a statue avenue, perfect for strolling and rendezvous.
tryst? ! ! Well, tryst! ! But we won’t have a tryst now. Let’s go on a date first…
We went to the Queen Sofia Art Center in the morning because when I took Chunxi out to play yesterday, Chunxi liked to look at those works of art, so I thought of going. This was a very novel experience for Ronaldo, as he had never visited an art center with a female companion. In the past, we usually spent our time having sex, eating, and shopping, and never got involved in these artistic activities. This is the first time I go out to visit an art center with Chunxi.
Ronaldo drove Chunxi to the Queen Sofia National Art Center. The Queen Sofia National Art Center Museum covers an area of 12,505 square meters and is one of the largest museums in the world. The collection focuses on the context and development of Spain's own artistic style under the European art trend, basically covering a series of changes in Spain's modern art style from the late 19th century to the 20th century, including surrealism, abstractionism, to the post-World War II avant-garde. The art center building was originally a hospital, but after several expansions, its function has also changed several times. The overall style is neoclassical, but the elevator in the middle of the building is an avant-garde design and is very eye-catching. The two exhibition halls are located on the second and fourth floors respectively, and works based on the year 1939 are exhibited separately.
The most famous collection in the Queen Sofia Art Center is Picasso's "Guernica", which is an anti-war work. The oil painting "Guernica" was created by Picasso in the 1930s. The picture shows the scene of the German Air Force's crazy bombing of the Spanish town of Guernica in 1937. This painting expresses pain, suffering and bestiality. On the right side of the painting, a woman is falling from a burning house with her hands raised, and another woman is rushing towards the center of the painting with her deformed legs; on the left side, there is a mother and her dead child; on the ground, there is the body of a warrior, with a broken sword in one of his broken hands, and next to the sword is a growing flower. The picture is centered on a cow standing with its head raised and a roaring horse. Picasso combined figurative techniques with those of Cubism and used the combination of geometric lines to give his works a strict internal structure and closely connected forms. He used exciting figurative art language to denounce the inhumane atrocities of the fascist war.
Standing in front of this picture, Chunxi could feel the cruelty and bloodiness of war, even though the entire painting was painted in only one color, gray. Many people from the Fu family joined the army, and naturally there were countless injured. Even Chunxi's closest cousin, Fu Ziming, had only been in the army for two years. He came home some time ago to recuperate because he was injured.
Even without war, there are still so many evils in this world, such as smuggling, trafficking, drugs, kidnapping and selling, which are too numerous to count. There is too much darkness in this world, too much blood has been shed, and too much death and loss has occurred. It's not that people are pretentious when facing this painting, but if you understand this painting, if you have personal experience of war or bloodshed, then you will definitely resonate with this painting and you will cry for it.
Chunxi shed a tear quietly, which made Ronaldo on the side flustered. He didn't have any tissue on him, so it was difficult to wipe Chunxi's tears. Looking at Chunxi who was crying secretly, Ronaldo really didn't know what to do. He wanted to wipe Chunxi's tears in a panic, but he didn't know what to use. This scene was so beautiful that someone captured it. Normally, cameras are not allowed in this kind of art center, but today there happened to be a few reporters from the American newspaper media "Metropolitan" coming to interview us, so I brought a camera with me. One of the reporters who took the photo, Clark Kent, was particularly interested in photography and often participated in photography competitions, so he was always looking for suitable shooting materials.
The scene he saw today gave Clark Kent a lot of inspiration. The woman cried quietly, her eyes tearing up, while the man looked anxious but didn't know what to do. In this picture, the man and the woman are both pretty, and the most striking thing is the love and affection in the man's eyes. This photo is full of love, and Clark is very confident that he can make this photo stand out.
Ronaldo and Chunxi didn't know that they had been photographed. Chunxi burst out laughing when she saw Ronaldo's flustered look, which made her look even more beautiful. A smile in tears is like raindrops on flowers, so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated. Ronaldo's legs went limp. "What's wrong with you? Stop crying."
Clark Kent bit his lip and secretly took another photo of Chunxi. Now he had all the works for the preliminary and final rounds.
"Okay, I just feel a little sad when looking at this painting. Don't be nervous." Chunxi took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Ronaldo laughed awkwardly: "I thought you were unhappy because I didn't choose the right place to take you. You scared me."
Chunxi pursed her lips and said, "No, the place you picked is very good, I like it very much, and I like this painting too."
C Ronaldo breathed a sigh of relief... It's okay, it's okay.
Actually, I have no other intention in coming to Queen Sofia Art Center, nor do I recommend you to go there. I just want to have my biological daughter and Cristiano Ronaldo photographed in a high-end place, that's all.
For lunch, Ronaldo took Chunxi to RIBEIRA DO MINYO, an affordable Galician seafood restaurant where people can enjoy the most famous Spanish Galician seafood at prices comparable to those at the beach even if they don't have the chance to go to the beach~~ Ronaldo saw that Chunxi really liked eating seafood last night, so he specifically asked Marcelo about this great place. This place is very close to the tribunal subway station. You can see this street on your left when you walk along Fuencarral Street towards Gran Via. There are shops all along the way, so you can go shopping. The must-try for the first time is the seafood platter, which includes spiny crabs, various shrimps and clams. One plate is enough for 2-3 people. If you think it's too cold, you can try the hot prawn langostinobinado platter, which serves 2-3 people and includes enough prawns to eat until you're full. 2-3 servings are a little over 30 Euros each. It’s still very affordable.
The seafood lunch was very enjoyable. For Cristiano Ronaldo, when he took his female companions out to eat in the past, he either went to a big hotel or booked an entire high-end French restaurant. In fact, Ronaldo doesn't really like that way of eating. It doesn't make him full and the price is very high. It has always been easier to eat with Chunxi. It doesn’t matter what we eat. We can go for French food, but I prefer to eat at small and unique restaurants, which is exactly what suits Ronaldo’s habits best.
Ronaldo is not from an aristocratic family and does not have such a great taste. His aesthetic taste has even been criticized as a "black hole aesthetic". Ordinary food is more suitable for him. When he wants to indulge himself, Ronaldo will go with Kaka to eat barbecue and other more common things instead of expensive French food.
After lunch, the two of them went to the Retiro Park as planned. In fact, this idea was also proposed by Marcelo. Marcelo said that you can go boating in the Retiro Park. It must be very romantic for two people to go boating on the lake...
But that was at night. Is it funny that you went boating in the afternoon during the winter vacation? There are so many boats that they are like dumplings being dropped into the water. How can they have a romantic boating experience? Besides, neither of them are ordinary people. It is very dangerous to be in a place with too many people. They will be discovered easily if they are not careful.
Chunxi and Ronaldo were stunned when they arrived. They had no idea why there were so many people. And they were basically all Chinese, really, because they all spoke Chinese. Ronaldo felt a little embarrassed. They had planned to have a romantic boating trip, but it was so crowded that they couldn't do anything.
"Sorry, I don't really know why there are so many people." Ronaldo said apologetically.
Chunxi smiled: "It's okay, actually I know a little bit about it, because it's winter vacation now, many Chinese people will go out to play at this time, so at this time, many places are full of tourists." Chunxi comforted Ronaldo. Ronaldo was comforted, but he began to worry again. Where should he take Chunxi to play...
The tour of Crystal Palace was quickly completed, and Ronaldo thought about it and received an assist from his mother star.
Dolores knew that Chunxi was going out with Ronaldo today, so she called Ronaldo and said that she liked Chunxi very much and wanted to meet her.
good! Great! I can take Chunxi back again.
Ronaldo was very grateful to Dolores for her help and for helping him during this embarrassing moment. Chunxi also agreed and went home with Ronaldo.
Chunxi was actually a little nervous. She was not particularly good at meeting elders. On the way home, Ronaldo was driving and Chunxi was nervous. Ronaldo noticed Chunxi's nervousness and kept comforting her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, my mother is very easy to talk to, you don't have to be nervous, she likes you very much, she has liked you very much since you were a child."
"I know, Aunt Dolores was very nice to me when I was a child." Chunxi said with a smile.
When she got home, Dolores was already waiting at the door. Chunxi greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Dolores."
"Oh, angel Ivory. I'm so glad I got to see you."
The author has something to say:
Small theater: On the day when Cristiano Ronaldo and Chunxi got married, countless people announced that they had broken up and went to the rooftops. This was called a "mass suicide intention problem" by social news. Is it a lack of humanity or a social decline...
"I thought that with Ronaldo's character, they would definitely break up, and I still had a chance... Unexpectedly, I was already on the rooftop, and then I found that there was a queue on the rooftop. I was disappointed with this world... hopeless."
"I am also desperate. I feel like today is really the end of the world. How can Ronaldo be worthy of my little angel?"
"How can your Fu Chunxi be worthy of my Cristiano Ronaldo?"
"Actually, what you said is quite meaningless. As long as they are happy, it's fine. What's the point of talking about whether they are worthy or not?"
Regardless of the comments on the Internet, Chunxi and Ronaldo finally got married. When the photo of their marriage certificate was uploaded to the Internet, the network was paralyzed that day.
Ronaldo was very happy, but when he turned around and saw David's sinister face, he felt desperate: I might really be beaten to death...
