No matter which store you enter, you will see a type of chocolate called "Dove". Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The word info is an English translation of the name, which is a transliteration of the abbreviation "DOVE" of the four English characters "DOUOULOVEME". IN FACT, THE WORD "DOVE" MEANS "DOVE" IN ENGLISH, BUT THE "DOVE" ON THE CHOCOLATE DOES NOT MEAN DOVE, BUT "DO YOU LOVE ME?"

"Dove" chocolate is very sweet to eat, but behind its sweetness lies a poignant love story. The story begins in the spring of 1919.

In the spring of 1919, as in any other year, the semi-inland and semi-oceanic climate prevailed in the very small landlocked country of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. From March to mid-May, the daytime sun shines brightly on this beautiful land. The sun was warm, but the breeze from the ocean in the distance blew through the vast expanses of thick green forests and into the patchwork of greenery and valleys. It's only at night that the temperature drops suddenly, giving you a chilly feel. But as time goes on, the temperature becomes more stable and warmer and more comfortable, and the plants slowly recover and grow until the fragrance of flowers and plants wafts through the mountains and grows vigorously.

In the meantime, a big event happened in the country. Princess Charlotte of the Luxembourg royal family inherited the throne. At the same time, she is going to marry Prince Felix, a descendant of the Bourbon family. What an event it should be. The wedding took place in the splendid Church of Our Lady of Luxembourg in the Golden Wall, and was attended by numerous royal family members and dignitaries of state.

It is customary for a new king to ascend the throne and to hold a wedding ceremony for several days, and to entertain his guests with the sumptiest and most delicious feasts. Therefore, these days, the royal kitchen is simply busy and happy. Although a lot of people were hired to help with the cooking, the manpower was still very tight. Therefore, when I entered the royal kitchen, I saw those cooks in white clothes and white pants and white hats either hurriedly cutting meat and washing vegetables in the kitchen, or constantly burning all kinds of dishes by the fire.

And 17-year-old Leon was temporarily hired to help with the kitchen. He was an orphan whose parents had died, and he had been helping people cook in restaurants on the street. A cousin who worked as a hired servant in the royal kitchen invited him over a few days ago. Because you can earn more money here. His task was to stand by the sink all day, washing piles of plates and dishes. Because he had washed too many things, he couldn't finish them, so his hands had cracked several times. However, he did not have time to go to the hospital to bandage, so he had to rinse the wound with saline. The wound was already painful, but when I rinsed it with salt water, it hurt even more. But he gritted his teeth and continued to rinse.

At this moment, a girl came into the kitchen, walked up to him, saw him rinsing his wound with tap water, and asked him in surprise, "Does this hurt?"

Leon looked up and saw that the girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a beautiful dress, as beautiful as a princess in a dream. He couldn't help but be taken aback, and thought to himself, where did this girl come from, and how could she come here? Because he had the impression that girls from the royal family never came to the kitchen. So, he said to the girl, "It hurts, but I can't help it." I still have a lot of work to do. ”

The girl said, "Otherwise, I'll go get some gauze and medicine to wrap it up for you." ”

Leon said, "No, once you wrap it, you can't work." ”

But the girl said, "If you don't wrap it up, it won't be good." But the girl immediately said, "Either I'll come and bandage you in the evening." Because she knew that in the evening, he would not continue to work.

Leon didn't care what the girl said, because he was a poor boy with dead parents and no siblings, and no one ever cared about him or questioned him. So, he quickly forgot about it, because he always had many, many things to do.

After dinner, Leon was washing the heaps of dishes. At this time, the girl came to the kitchen with some gauze and ointment, but when she saw Leon washing the dishes, she sat down and waited. It wasn't until it was completely dark that Leon had washed all the dishes. At this time, he sat down in front of the girl and asked the girl to bandage the wound on his hand. The girl was afraid that he would hurt, so she bandaged him very carefully. She first disinfected his wound with alcohol, applied ointment to his wound, padd it with a small piece of cotton yarn, and then bandaged it firmly with gauze. She told him, "Don't get water on the bandage, or the wound will become infected." ”

The wound didn't hurt anymore, and he felt like no one had ever treated him so well. He was very grateful, and asked, "Who are you?"

The girl said, "My name is Bazaar." Then he asked, "What's your name?"

Leon said, "My name is Leon. ”

In gratitude and repaying the girl, Leon secretly took out a small plate of ice cream from the kitchen cooler and gave it to her. This ice cream is not easy to make, and the quantity is very limited, so it is considered a food for the royal family's guests. The girl ate the ice cream and felt very tasty, because she had never eaten it before. Seeing that the girl had quickly finished a small plate of ice cream, and looked very excited, Leon stole a small plate from the freezer and gave it to Basha.

The girl was eating ice cream and talking to Leon. Leon was also very happy, because no pretty girl had ever spoken to him before. He was always alone, and before it got dark, he lay down on that little bed and went to bed early. And the beautiful and lovely girl in front of him cared for him so much, that his heart seemed to be illuminated by a bright light.

The two of them talked a lot together, and at last someone came and told the girl to go back to bed. The two of them reluctantly broke up. Leon returned to his lodgings. His lodgings were a corner of the kitchen warehouse. There is only one small bed here. Because everyone else had to go home at night, he was the only one who was homeless and had to sleep here.

Lying in bed, he was in a very good mood, and he felt that it was very pleasant to be able to talk to a girl.
