Chapter 131: Unexpected Surprise
Celis put down the small bucket, took a copper cross key from the front pocket of her apron, inserted it and turned it slightly, and the door opened.
"Come in!"
I followed her to the rooftop, where I had a panoramic view of the castle and part of the island.
"How's it going? I've chosen a good place, right?"
It's just that the weather is not very good, and everything else is very satisfied. Celis walked up to me and pointed to a building in the distance, "Just look there and just don't move." I followed her finger and looked over, it was just a very ordinary house, nothing special, huh?
Just as I was about to ask her what I was going to see, she had already set up her easel, put away her paper, and prepared her palette and paint.
"Don't move, stay in this position. β
She gestured a cross with her paintbrush and began to smear on the canvas.
There are also many residents in the castle, but because it has been developed as a tourist attraction, they are all doing small businesses to attract tourists. The six-storey main building where I am now is supposed to be where the owner of this castle lives. There are security guards in black suits at the door, and gardeners who repair lawns and maids in maid outfits around the main building are around. It can be expected that the owner of this castle should have been a nobleman before.
"Alright. β
Selise said okay, I immediately went over to see, she stopped the front of the easel, "Say it in advance, don't blame me if it's not good-looking." β
"Okay, don't complain. I said that my body had bypassed her to the front of the portrait, and I had to say that Celis's painting was very abstract, and I stared at it for ten minutes, but I couldn't see which one was me. I finally understood why she told me that she had been painting for so many years and not a single painting had sold.
"This painting is just your hobby, right?"
She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, "Of course it's my hobby, what do you think of my drawing?"
I tilted my neck to look at the "masterpiece" in front of me.
"How do you say that? There is a style for painting, and I really don't see your style. β
"Oh, you're saying I'm not good at drawing!"
Before she painted it, I fantasized that it wasn't too good, and that it was almost like me, and that I was going to put it in my office in the future, but after seeing this painting, I instantly dispelled this idea.
"I don't want to paint it, you can keep it for yourself! It's not too early, I should go back to lunch." β
"Since you don't want money and don't want to paint, then I'll treat you to dinner, right?"
"Dinner is free, my fiancΓ©e is still waiting for me at the hotel, wait for the opportunity!"
"It's okay, I can have someone bring her over for dinner. β
"Forget it, my fiancΓ©e doesn't like to have lunch with other people. β
"That's a pity, then I'll send you back!"
Celis took me back to the basement and drove me back to the hotel, kissing me on the cheek as I was about to get out of the car.
I rubbed my hand hard against the place where I had been kissed, "What are you doing?"
"Don't get me wrong, this is our etiquette there, since you are willing to be my model, then the two of us are friends, this is just the customary etiquette of friends before parting. β
I seem to have seen a similar plot on TV, so I didn't ask anything more, anyway, I didn't suffer, just don't leave a lipstick mark and be misunderstood by Xiaoyu.
"Then we'll have a chance to meet again!" he waved at me and disappeared around the corner from the hotel entrance.
I went back to my room, because the room card was held by Xiaoyu, and I can only knock on the door now.
After knocking for a long time, Xiao Yu opened the door with a worried look.
"What's wrong with you? I texted you and you won't reply?"
"I seem to be pregnant. β
I looked at her belly that wasn't protruding, "How do you know?"
"At first I thought it was seasickness, but I wasn't dizzy at all, I was just nauseous and wanted to vomit, and then I didn't seem to have been here for two months, and I was pregnant. β
I was at a loss, "I haven't been here for two months?"
Xiaoyu patted my head lightly, "It's so stupid, girls have to have a period every month, I didn't come last month, this month is over, I didn't come, I should have." β
"So I'm going to be a father?"
Xiaoyu nodded with a delicate face, and then looked at me with a solemn expression, "Then do we want this child?"
"Of course, this is our child, how can we not want it?"
"If my dad knew that I had a child before I got married, he would have to skin me three times when I went back. β
I patted my chest, "With me here, I won't let anyone hurt you two mothers and sons." β
Xiaoyu stepped forward and put her arms around my neck, "You're about to be a father, can you stop messing around with flowers and grass in the future?"
"I didn't, you have to trust me. β
"I believe in you, but those people are rushing to seduce you, and you don't refuse!"
"Why didn't you refuse? How many times have I refused, self-harm, and ......" Xiaoyu quickly covered my mouth, "I hate it, which pot is not opened." I saw you kissed by a blonde girl when you came back, and you dare to say that you two are okay?"
"It's strange, her car is not open-top, and you are not in front of you, how do you know that she kissed me?"
Xiaoyu became proud, "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." β
"But she kissed me, saying that it was the etiquette of their country, and that I kissed me unsuspectingly, and I was about to get out of the car at that moment. β
"There's no need to quibble, I didn't say anything, I just reminded you, you have to clean yourself, I can know anything you do!"
"Okay, my daughter-in-law is powerful, omniscient, and omnipotent, so can we go to lunch? β
"How do you know it's a son, what if it's a girl?"
"The girl is better, the girl is Dad's intimate little padded jacket. β
Now Xiaoyu is my key protection object, I will follow her wherever she goes, whatever she does as long as I can do it, except for going to the toilet to eat and sleep, I will never let her stretch out her hand. In the past, she took the initiative to hold my hand or hold my arm wherever she went, but now it is reversed, and wherever she goes, I take the initiative to hold her hand, hold her waist, and be careful around and under my feet.
"If you can do this to me forever, I will die worth it. β
"What nonsense, don't keep talking about death, you are really dead, and I will go to the underworld to save you. β
"That's too unfortunate, our Wuying Hall is the sworn enemy of the underworld, and the underworld doesn't dare to accept me. β
"Okay, you're amazing. β
After eating, we took a brief rest, and under the organization of the tour guide, we took a sightseeing bus to the outside of the plantain castle.
Tickets to Banana Castle are the most expensive of all the tours in the seven-day tour, and you can only get here on foot, not by car.
Because this month is the peak tourist season, in addition to our tour group, there are many other tour groups, so that the castle, which originally looked quite grand, is now crowded. In order to avoid the loss of passengers, the tour guide has prepared the logo of his own passengers, some are unified half-sleeves, some are small flags, and we are small yellow hats.
"Now the first thing we see is the main gate of the Banana Castle, this Banana Castle has a history of more than a thousand years, according to legend, the owner of this castle used to be the king of a small country in the Shenlong Continent, because of the defeat, so he came to Anning Island with the remnants of the old department, and established this extremely strong Dasho Castle. As for why it is called Plantain Castle, it is said that it is because the second owner of our Plantain Castle encountered a huge wind and waves during a trip to the sea, and the boat he was riding was broken by the waves, just when he thought he could not live, a huge banana leaf floated on the sea, and legend has it that this banana leaf was bigger than two people lying down, and the second owner of our Dasho Castle was sent back to Anning Island by the waves on a huge banana leaf, so he changed the castle name to Dasho Island in order to commemorate this adventure. β
After introducing the history and legends of the castle, the tour guide took us into the castle on foot, "Everyone must follow my flag, because Dasho Castle is a private territory, so you must leave before 8 o'clock in the evening, remember to remember." After speaking, he waved the flag, "Then it's time for everyone to move freely, and everyone can visit the attractions above with the small map on the back of the ticket." We will meet at 7 p.m. and head back to the hotel for dinner. β
Xiaoyu and I are now in the same street that I saw yesterday in the main building when I was painted by Celis, the street is lined with small shops, selling all kinds of snacks and souvenirs, many people are holding SLR cameras everywhere to take pictures of all kinds of scenery, Xiaoyu is no exception.
"Do you know where the best view is?"
I walked up to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu blinked her eyes wide, "Did you make a strategy before you came?
I pointed to the tall buildings not far away, "The roof of the building overlooks the entire castle, and the mountains and rivers in the distance, which is a great viewing point." β
Xiao Yu took out the ticket from her bag and looked at the small map behind her, "That's the house where the owner of the castle lives, and tourists are not allowed to visit, how do you know that there will be good scenery on it, could it be that you have been there?"
"Do you still need it? There's an old saying that if you stand high and see far, it's so high that you must have an unobstructed view. β
Xiao Yu tapped her chin, thinking about what I had just said, "That makes sense, but how do we go up?"
"The girl who sent me back yesterday, she must have a way, I'll go find her. β
Xiao Yu grabbed my arm, "Forget it, let's take a stroll down there! I haven't bought any souvenirs." β
Hearing this, I hurriedly hugged Xiaoyu's waist, "Come, let's go shopping first, don't be in a hurry to slow down." β
I don't know if it's because of the island or if it's been this weather recently, it's raining lightly in the sky, and there is a tendency to slowly get bigger, so Xiaoyu and I went into a bar to take shelter from the rain.
Soon the rain poured down, and the streets were crowded with people just now, but now it seems that the streets are forbidden, and there is no one anymore.
"Boss, what do you have to drink here?"
The proprietor was a white-skinned bald man with a big beard, and he propped up the bar with his hands, "Cocktails, beer, white wine, red wine, milk tea, cola." What do you want?"
I first asked Xiaoyu's opinion, "What do you want to drink?" Xiaoyu thought for a while, "I'll just have a glass of water, I shouldn't drink anything when I'm pregnant." β
"A beer, a glass of water. β
"Excuse me, sir, we don't have water here, only wine and drinks. β
"There's always hot milk, right? β
The owner of the bar began to prepare, and I visited the decoration style of this bar, which is a bit punk, and the existing customers in the bar are basically men, and they are all dressed in a tough way.
On the small stage of this bar, there is a resident female singer who sings a song affectionately with her head down, the tune is hard, not suitable for girls to sing, and I have not heard this song, but the lyrics are written very meaningfully, and when you hear it, you know that she is a person with a story.
Curiosity made me take Xiaoyu to sit in front of the booth not far from her, Xiaoyu tilted her head to look at me, "Do you like to listen to this song, or do you like to watch young girls?"
"I think the lyrics are well written, but her voice doesn't quite fit the song. β
"Do you know a lot about music?"
