Chapter 95 You Must Quit Drinking
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Xiao Peng cursed as he climbed the mountain.
The mysterious man who asked me to meet him was definitely not a Maasai!
He actually asked me to meet him at the Church of Our Lady of Protection in Jarde! Isn't this a rip-off?
The Church of Our Lady of the Gardes is a must-see attraction for all tourists visiting Marseille. It is not far from the seaside and is built on a hill 154 meters above sea level, from where you can overlook the entire Marseille.
The church itself is also quite unique. While other European cathedrals often feel cold and solemn upon entering, the interior here is as magnificent as a fairytale. The golden statue of the Virgin and Child atop the church has become a symbol of Marseille and the patron saint of all the people of Marseille.
But it's a nice place for tourists to visit once in a while. How about asking Xiao Peng, who has lived in Marseille for so long, to see it? It's just a big stone house!
And you can’t drive up to this place! You can only park in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain and walk up!
It sounds like 154 meters above sea level is not high, but climbing up along the steep slope and small stairs, coupled with the strong sun and "evil wind" unique to Marseille, how could Xiao Peng not curse?
To understand a city, you must not just look at the promotional materials of travel agencies!
When Xiao Peng was in China, his understanding of the city of Marseille was that it has sunshine 300 days out of 365 days a year.
This is absolutely true, but what the tour companies don't tell you is that the area is ravaged by sea breezes for a third of the year! While the wind isn't bitterly cold, it's incredibly strong! Aside from tourists, few Maasai women wear skirts. Otherwise, the classic Marilyn Monroe-style skirt-covering would be the norm!
Today was a day of fierce winds. A female tourist in front of me was wearing a large sun hat and had her hands covering it. When she wasn't paying attention, the hat flew up into the sky! Xiao Peng was climbing a steep slope under the sun and the sea breeze. It was so hot and uncomfortable that he would curse!
As agreed, he came to the viewing platform at the entrance of the church. There were many tourists taking photos here, and there was also an open-air cafe. This is considered a "celebrity attraction" in Marseille.
Sitting there with the city of Marseille and the harbor in the background, taking a side photo of him enjoying coffee with elegant manners, the result is really beautiful.
But it’s really not easy to take such a photo!
The cafe here doesn't even have parasols. It's not that foreigners like to bask in the sun, but even if they put up a parasol here, the wind will blow it away! Xiao Peng saw some girls here enjoying themselves while taking photos, but then looked miserable after taking them, which made him laugh and cry.
But Xiao Peng looked left and right and didn't feel that anyone seemed to be the one who wanted to make an appointment with him.
"Are you kidding me?" Xiao Peng was furious. How could he feel comfortable climbing the mountain for half a day without seeing anyone? If you hadn't paid the bail for me, I wouldn't be here to suffer!
He was so angry that he was about to turn around and leave when he was suddenly hit by a strong fragrance. A woman wearing large sunglasses that covered half of her face walked behind him with a charming smile on her face, then hugged Xiao Peng warmly and kissed him on the cheek.
After the two hugged and separated, Xiao Peng blinked: "Hmm...was it you who paid the bail for me?"
He observed the woman. She was about 178cm tall and slender, wearing a white chest-length tank top and jeans.
This little camisole is awesome! The half-exposed chest is very eye-catching.
The woman smiled and said, "Although the bail may be a piece of cake for you, it was indeed me who paid the bail for you. Xiao, do we have to stand here and talk?" She pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Can't we just sit there and talk?"
Xiao Peng sat down with the woman, confused. After the waiter came over and they ordered coffee, Xiao Peng asked his most confusing question: "Beautiful lady, who are you? I don't know why you are helping us pay the bail?"
After he asked this question, even though the beauty was wearing big sunglasses, Xiao Peng could still see the shock on her face.
The woman was silent for a while, then raised her voice: "You said you don't know me?"
Xiao Peng said as a matter of course: "Even though you're wearing those big sunglasses, I'm sure you're a beauty. But it's not surprising that I don't recognize you, right? I can't possibly recognize all the beauties!"
When he said this, he even felt a little contempt for the woman in his heart. Do you think you are Sophie Marceau? Do I have to know you?
The woman glanced around and removed her sunglasses. A pretty face appeared before Xiao Peng. She had dark gray eyes, brown hair, and eyes that had a slightly Oriental, "willow-shaped" look, with upturned corners. Although her face was a bit long, she was indeed a beauty.
But Xiao Peng was even more confused. He really didn't know this woman!
His expression made the woman inexplicably angry. She put on her sunglasses again, took out her phone, opened the photo album and showed it to Xiao Peng: "I've seen men who put on pants and refused to admit it! But I've never seen anyone like you! You don't recognize me? Then what is this?"
Xiao Peng took the phone with curiosity, but was dumbfounded when he saw the photos inside: they were all photos of Xiao Peng hugging this woman, and the two of them behaved extremely intimately.
"Was this last night?" Xiao Peng blinked and said uncertainly.
"Of course! It's only been a short time and you're saying you don't know me!" the woman said angrily.
Xiao Peng covered his face with his hands: "I'm sorry, beautiful, I did drink too much yesterday... Wait! You said I pulled up my pants and refused to admit it? We..."
The woman snorted coldly after hearing this. "In the restroom of the Kuroshio? What? You want me to help you recall it?"
Xiao Peng was completely petrified.
What the hell is going on?! I need to stop drinking!
It's fine if he just messed around drunkenly, but he even had people come to his door! Xiao Peng was so embarrassed right now.
But why did she come to me? For money? That shouldn't be the case!
If it was for money, why did she help pay for his bail? Was it to play the long game?
Xiao Peng was puzzled and spoke in his native dialect anxiously: "That...that..."
He thought that he should first return the bail money that the beautiful woman had paid for them. A bail of tens of thousands of dollars was no small amount.
Before he could finish his words, he felt a gust of fist coming from behind his head. Xiao Peng didn't even look back, but raised his hand to block the fist behind him. When he looked back, he saw a black youth looking at him angrily.
Xiao Peng looked at the angry black youth, then at the woman sitting opposite him. The first three words that popped into his mind were:
"Scam?"
