Chapter 303: Xin Qing and I became roommates
Lin Dingqiang spent another day in Athens to treat wounds, apply for permanent residence, and bid farewell to Zhou Laohua.
Fortunately, with Wang Qingbo's help, the originally cumbersome procedures have become faster. After entering his fingerprints, Lin Dingqiang got Sheila's green card, which can be regarded as obtaining a golden visa from the Schengen area.
When he resigned to Zhou Laohua, Lin Dingqiang paid off the medical expenses spent during this time, and in order to express his gratitude, Lin Dingqiang also specially wrapped a big red envelope of 30,000 euros for him.
However, this enthusiastic compatriot did not accept Lin Dingqiang's gift, but only accepted 200 euros for the meal, and still said: "When you go out, you should help each other." ”
When everything was ready, Lin, Xin, and Huo bought tickets for the Blue Star ferry and prepared to take the boat to Santorini.
The day in Athens came early, almost at 6 a.m., and the crescent moon in the sky accompanied the dawn and refused to end.
After exchanging their tickets, the trio will board the Blue Star ferry at Piraeus Pier and sail another 8 hours to Santorini.
There are nine levels of ferries, five from the bottom to the top are garages, and from the sixth floor onwards are various warehouses.
There are many options for economy class, airline seats, business class, two-person inner cabins and outer cabins, and the prices are also affordable, ranging from RMB200 to 600.
In fact, you can also choose to take a plane to Santorini, which only takes about 1 hour, but you don't have the wonderful experience of swimming in the Aegean Sea.
The trio bought business class tickets, and after boarding, the enthusiastic crew led the three to the area on the eighth floor, where in addition to the bar kennel, there are floor-to-ceiling glass windows and outdoor seating, so that you can enjoy the sea breeze and beautiful scenery during the trip.
The sofa was relatively soft, Xin Qing and Huo Jinwei sat on the double seat, while Lin Dingqiang sat on the single sofa, the three of them faced each other and didn't talk much until the waiter delivered the menu.
The ferry boat slowly left the port, and the food on board was relatively complete, but the price was a bit expensive.
Xin Qing ordered an avocado salad, Huo Jinwei chose fried tomatoes, and Lin Dingqiang asked for a cup of American style as the first meal in 8 hours.
After the dishes were served, Huo Jinwei took off her sunglasses and said slowly while eating, "The day after tomorrow, you two will come back with me?"
Xin Qing nodded, eating the salad on her plate, "I can, it just so happens that my vacation is coming to an end." ”
"I'm okay too. Lin Dingqiang replied.
Huo Jinwei said with a smile: "Well, the journey is finally not lonely." By the way, I have to look for a house after I return to Beijing, do you have any recommendations, Ding Qiang?"
Xin Qing took over, "Jinwei, if you want, you can come to live in Palm Springs." ”
Huo Jinwei stared, smiled curiously, and asked, "Although there are three rooms in your apartment, two of them are your respective cloakrooms, and only one room can accommodate people, am I going to sleep on the sofa?"
"I'll move out when I get back. Lin Dingqiang said in a low voice: "You can live with Xin Qing, and the bedding will be replaced with new ones at that time." I have already arranged for Zhao Lei and Xi Tao to prepare. If you need anything, send me a list and I'll let them buy it. ”
"Huh?"
"I negotiated with Lao Lin in the hospital the night before yesterday, he moved out, and I stayed. Xin Qing responded.
This is the new rule set by Lin Xin and the others, and the current relationship between the two is not harmonious, so it is not suitable to live together again.
"It's kind of interesting. Huo Jinwei laughed, "You really think about it?"
"I've thought about it. Xin Qing nodded.
Lin Dingqiang shrugged his shoulders, "After my things are moved, I will clean up the cloakroom and change it into Shanshan's room." ”
"Shanshan's room is not in a hurry, I have to contact the school first, and then pick her up when everything is ready. Huo Jinwei pursed her lips and smiled.
"That's good. Lin Dingqiang responded: "If there is a need, I will help." ”
Huo Jinwei took Xin Qing's hand, "Now Xin Qing and I will become roommates." By the way, Ding Qiang, where are you moving to?"
"I haven't found a place yet," Lin Dingqiang replied, "Choose slowly, and don't be in a hurry." ”
Xin Qing glanced at Lin Dingqiang and said to Huo Jinwei, "Jinwei, let's go to the deck and wait." The sunrise over the sea is fleeting and can't be missed. ”
"Okay!" Huo Jinwei got up, "Ding Qiang, do you want to be together?" ”
"What legend?"
Huo Jinwei said mysteriously: "It is said that there was a harpist named Qin in Athens. She can calm an angry Poseidon, make a jealous Hera forgiving, and make a gloomy Hades smile. Anyone who sees the sun for the first time on the Aegean Sea will hear the beautiful sound. With the sound of the piano to make a wish, you will definitely be able to make your wishes come true. ”
Xin Qing couldn't wait to ask, "Really?"
"Yes, there is. Huo Jinwei replied.
"I'll go later. Lin Dingqiang picked up his coffee, "A little seasick." ”
"Okay. ”
Huo and Xin left the cabin and went to the deck. And after Lin Dingqiang saw that the two were gone, he hurriedly put down the cup.
Regardless of whether this legend is true or not, he quickly found the manager, and after communication, handed him the music link of "First Love", and also paid 50 euros as a hardship fee, just to make the melody of the song sound at the moment when the sun rises above the sea level.
"First Love" is the first time Lin Dingqiang heard music when he sat on Xin Qing's Beetle, when the two were still on their way to the welfare home, but at this time they drove towards the blue and white country.
After everything was arranged, Lin Dingqiang walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.
There were already many people waiting on the deck, the gentle sea breeze blowing the ends of Xin Qing's hair, she leaned against the railing, looking at the blue water, waiting for the moment when the sun appeared.
"Don't get seasick anymore?" Huo Jinwei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you ......?"
Lin Dingqiang's mind seemed to be seen through by Huo Jinwei, "No, it's really seasick." ”
"I haven't even seen a single wave, why are you dizzy?" Huo Jinwei laughed, "Besides, when you go to sea on Hong Kong Island, the wind and waves are bigger than this, right? I didn't see you seasick." ”
Lin Dingqiang saw that he was dissected cleanly by Huo Jinwei, and said stiffly: "I'll know later." Watch the sunrise. ”
The ferry boat is moving slowly in the Aegean Sea, and the red sun is already showing on the horizon, and many people are clasping their hands together, waiting to verify the truth of the legend.
Xin Qing was no exception, she closed her eyes slightly and prayed sincerely.
About a minute later, the fiery red sun rose over the far end of the sea level, and everyone closed their eyes tightly, telling their hearts to the sea, the blue sky, and the rising sun.
The melodious melody sounded at this time, and the manager really did not break his promise, and after seeing the red sun rising, he helped Lin Dingqiang release the song.
Huo Jinwei and Xin Qing opened their eyes and glanced at each other after hearing the familiar melody. There are a lot of Chinese tourists on the whole ship, but there are not many people who choose the business seat.
In addition, the popularity of this song is not a household name, so the only person who can order it is Lin Dingqiang, who has the excuse of seasickness.
Lin Dingqiang walked up to Xin Qing, "Happy birthday, Xin Qing." ”
Huo Jinwei covered her mouth with envy and surprise, "Xin Qing, are you celebrating your birthday today?"
Xin Qing looked at Lin Dingqiang's eyes and shook his head, Lin Dingqiang explained: "This is the second birthday gift for you. I wish you the wish you just made come true. ”
Xin Qing stirred the green silk on her sideburns, and the breeze floated lightly on her delicate face. Then he put the market that had slid to his wrist back on his shoulders, and he didn't talk to Lin Dingqiang, just smiled slightly, then turned around again, and continued to look at the scenery of the red sun rising to sea.
