When people are sleepy, they don't think about anything romantic. This applies to everyone.

The fatigue of a dozen hours of continuous connecting trips made Amy miss the beauty of Santorini, but the cruise ship would stop at three different ports in the Aegean Sea. In addition to Santorini, there is Athens, the core of the Peloponnese, and Chania in Crete.

"If King Pericles or King Leonidas had seen the beauty of Orthodoxy all over Greece, they would probably have hated Socrates in their hearts. At the Parthenon, Lin Yilong laughed at the ancient Greeks without the slightest respect, "Even the ancestral tombs have been dug up by the barbarians, but the descendants of the barbarians are talking about the Greco-Roman era!"

"What did Brother Yilong say?" Lin Yilong said a long list of names, the only one Amy had heard of was Socrates, and the other two had never heard of it.

"Nothing, a little comment on the ancient Greek city-states. Lin Yilong had a smile on his face, "However, be careful with your shoulder bag, I heard that there are a lot of thieves in Greece." ”

Amy immediately grabbed herself tightly in her satchel.

I don't know if it was caused by the economic crisis or the Balkan crisis, but the security on the streets of Greece was not so good, and many Britons living in Greece returned to live in England. There were many Albanians, Turks, and poor Egyptians living in Greece, many of whom specialized in theft, and because of the economic downturn, some local young people also joined the army, although Lin Yilong could not say that the country was full of thieves, but there must be many cities like Athens.

Speaking of which, Lin Yilong's habit of wearing a vest when traveling was also changed to a "safer" vest because he had a wallet containing 12 pounds and 4 pence stolen at the station.

A few folk museums, or private museums converted from several houses of different periods, are a bit interesting, but they are not so special, and there is no special difference between the lives of ancient citizens and the sculptures and art exhibited in public museums.

"It's really not interesting. "Athens is really only the ruins that make people interested, and the rest of the attractions are a little too ordinary.

However, the boredom that this country has brought to Lin Yilong is not over. They had lunch at a local Greek restaurant with french fries, vegetable salad and a huge amount of roast pork that had been chopped up, and dinner was still the same side dish, and when someone complained about how bad the British diet was, they should go to Greece or Northern Europe.

After a difficult meal, back in the cabin of the cruise ship, Amy sat down at the grand piano and played a tune.

"You can still play the piano?" Lin Yilong asked.

"Of course!" replied Amy, "when I danced, in order to develop a sense of musicality, my teacher asked me to practice the piano and increase the rhythm. ”

"It's pretty good, too. Lin Yilong motioned Amy to give him the piano stool, and played the right hand melody of "The Death of the Swan" according to the tune in his memory.

"Brother Yilong can also play the piano?" asked Amy.

"Of course, otherwise the piano in your living room is not a decoration. Lin Yilong replied, "Of course, the main purpose is to make the guests who come to me feel that this person's artistic quality is good." ”

"Isn't this still an ornament?" Amy complained about Lin Yilong's second half.

"There are some things that are different from those that are not. ”

"I didn't have anyone else coming to my apartment. ”

"Give yourself a psychological hint - I have a high level of humanistic quality?" Lin Yilong decided not to dwell on these issues with Amy, "Amy doesn't think that putting a piano in the living room and living room gives you a sense of elegance?"

"If it's really a decoration, why do you find a tuner every six months?" Amy said softly.

"What are you talking about?" asked Lin Yilong.

"I mean, there is a piano in this suite, and it is also to make the guests look more human?" Amy interrupted.

"Actually, this living room should be able to hold a dinner or a cocktail party. Lin Yilong explained, "So, if you need this, you can contact the housekeeper, find a waiter to serve, and find a pianist to accompany here." ”

"There is always a pianist playing the piano in the lounge. Amy said, "Who's going to have a drinking party here?"

While the two were arguing about the use of this piano, the whistle sounded, and the cruise ship pulled anchor and set sail.

"Next, we went to Messina for a day, then Civitavecchia outside Rome, Ajaccio in Napoleon's hometown, Monte Carlo, which we had already visited, then Barcelona and Malaga in Spain, Porto in Portugal, then Bordeaux in France, Amsterdam in the Netherlands and then under the Tower of London. Lin Yilong explained a little bit about their several docking points, which are all world-famous cities, considering the level of our cabins, they are actually quite good. “

Amy tilted her head and looked at Lin Yilong.

"I'll play a tune, can you dance solo for a variation?" Lin Yilong asked.

"Brother Yilong is coming?" Amy asked.

"Why not?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically, "I think that although my piano level is not to earn money, I should have no problem playing a simple variation." ”

Subsequently, Lin Yilong played a complete variation that he is most familiar with - Mozart's "Little Star".

"That's good, then I'll dance for a while. Amy said, then went to the cloakroom to get her pointe shoes.

Although the variations do not have high requirements for technique, they also require a lot of practice, Lin Yilong took Amy's variations and played them again, but the effect was not very good.

changed several variations of melodies that Lin Yilong was not very familiar with, and finally Lin Yilong sacrificed the slightly familiar "Aragonese Dance".

Although this piece is an out-and-out classical romantic dance music, it is a modern art choreography according to the suite, and the heroine Carmen should be a passionate/bohemian/uninhibited woman who makes men seduce with a smile and a smile, but Amy's style gives people a sense of atmosphere and luxury, which is a bit nondescript in Lin Yilong's opinion.

When Lin Yilong played the last note, Amy rushed into his arms like a spring man, hugging his neck.

"Amy is obviously very good at every action, but for some reason there is no way to give people a sultry feeling, the overall feeling is very strange, a bit like the feeling of a big lady's family suddenly falling to the point of being forced to open a business. Picking up Amy, Lin Yilong truthfully expressed his impressions, "If I hadn't seen "Carmen" and hadn't stopped operating, I might have been attracted, but this section doesn't seem to be suitable for classical dance at all, especially the tall and slender Amy, you don't have any color at all." ”

After hearing Lin Yilong's comment, Amy knew that she was very unhappy when she looked at her face.

"You don't have much stage experience. So, don't care about my evaluation, it's a slow learning process anyway. Lin Yilong said with relief, "However, it would be much better if you put this kind of look on the stage now." ”
