Chapter 11 Reasons for Returning to China
Ciri gently pushed her, thinking that the Admiral once wanted to have a pet, and laughed at her around the corner: "You are you, I am afraid of loneliness and trouble, and I am afraid of raising air pineapples as pets." ”
The Admiral himself laughed, muttering, "Air pineapples have the benefits of air pineapples...... and then said, "The last time I came was at night, I didn't pay attention to your little courtyard, it's very beautiful." I'd love to move in with you and experience the garden house. ”
"Forget it, it's a lot of trouble. The spot next door looks like a 2.0x speed parade during the day, and at night it looks like a star trail that has been extended by wireless. I'll keep you for three days and you'll collapse. Ciri wiped the piano clean with a cloth, closed the case and hugged the room tightly.
When she came out, the Admiral leaned on the back of her chair and asked, "Then why didn't you break down?"
"I'm broken, don't you see?" said Siri.
The Admiral looked at her and said, "I can see how you are getting whiter and whiter after returning to China, are you secretly taking any whitening pills behind my back?"
"Maybe this is a treasure land of feng shui, which is more nourishing. Ciri smiled, and then said, "By the way, what do you want to eat at noon?"
The admiral asked her, "I'm tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, why don't we go to the Taigu Temple next door to eat fast?"
"Huh?" Although there were some doubts, they still agreed, and the two of them walked through the main entrance of the hotel to the commercial area in front of the Taikoo Temple.
The Admiral looked at the time: "It's not time to eat yet, we can wander around outside first." ”
As soon as the two of them entered the alley, Xili was a little discouraged when he saw so many tourists coming and going: "Why don't we go back to the Rose Garden to eat, there are too many people here." ”
The admiral pulled her forward: "Don't, I have called the master to leave me a small private room." ”
"You have a lot of skills, you can arrange it in the temple!" Xili looked at her in disbelief and asked, "How did you know each other?"
The admiral held her and laughed: "Before, I came to listen to the lecture because I was bored, and then I worshipped the master in the temple to learn the tea ceremony. It's familiar with it after coming and going. ”
"Listen to the scriptures??learn the tea ceremony?!" Xili looked incredulous: "It's unbelievable to hear you say this." ”
The Admiral pursed his mouth: "Everyone has unexpected times, just like I thought you would always make your music, but I didn't expect you to suddenly become a businessman." ”
Ciri sighed: "That's really an accident in life, there are eight or nine out of ten, ten, eleven, twelve...... Endless too. ”
Although the rose garden where Xili lives is very close to the Taikoo Temple, she has not been there when she returned to China this time, and now she was pulled by the Admiral to find that the Taikoo Temple when she was a child was just a temple, but now it is crisscrossed with the temple as the center, and the antique street crisscrosses it, forming a spider web. Therefore, if you want to go to Taikoo Temple, you still have to choose a commercial street and walk there.
The Admiral dragged her to walk slowly in the crowded alley, seemingly aimless, the surrounding sounds were noisy and lively, the street vendors were shouting loudly, groups of family and friends followed closely so as not to get lost, the Admiral also took Xili's hand like holding his own child, and said to her with a high decibel level: "You, you still have to be optimistic in your cultivation." Smile more, the sky will fall as a quilt cover. ”
Xili nodded with admiration: "I think you have cultivated very well, and you have become a copper pea that cannot be broken or chewed." ”
The Admiral was a little indignant: "Can't there be other beautiful parables?"
"Then diamonds. ”
The metaphor is perfect. The Admiral laughed.
Xili looked up at the shops on the street, in a shop selling local snacks and Yiwu small commodities, there is a cheongsam shop on the second floor The window design is very beautiful, with a small scene cut out in the style of paper carving, and the plain cheongsam has become a strong presence in the window.
The Admiral saw what she liked and asked, "Would you like to go up and have a look?"
Xili nodded, the two of them went upstairs together, the interior decoration and the window are as elegant and good-looking, in addition to the cheongsam, there are some dresses and wedding dresses, all with Chinese elements and classical design, Xili fell in love with a milk-white sundress dress at a glance, from the chest to the waist are embroidered with another excellent color of white silk thread roses, reflecting silver light under the illumination of the light.
Siri went to try on clothes, but the Admiral had little interest in such clothes, so he sat on the sofa and waited for her.
After a while, Ciri came out of the fitting room, and she didn't think it looked very good, but it was amazing to wear it on Ciri's body.
Seeing that the Admiral did not speak, Ciri asked, "How is it?"
"I want to marry you. The Admiral got up, came up to her, circled around her, and said, "Bought it." ”
Xili looked at the clerk next to him and smiled ambiguously, as if he had misunderstood the relationship between the two, and he didn't bother to explain. Then he looked at himself in the mirror and asked, "I like this dress a lot, but I feel like something is missing from my neck." ”
The Admiral also felt when he saw it, and said, "Then buy another necklace." ”
Ciri touched his neck, and then asked the clerk, "Do you have a white silk scarf in your store?"
The clerk was in a bit of a difficulty, when he saw the boss who had been sitting in the café coming over with a notebook and a pen, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am the owner and designer of this store, May. Then he opened his design and quickly added two strokes to his neck, a three-finger-wide ribbon around his neck in two loops.
"Do you think that's the case?" she asked.
Siri saw the design on the draft and said, "It's even more perfect than I imagined." Then he asked, "Can this be customized?"
"Of course, please leave your name and address, and it can be delivered together in two weeks at the latest. This silk scarf is an extra gift from me. May said sincerely.
It made Ciri a little embarrassed: "No, no, I also suddenly thought of it." ”
"Please be sure to accept it, you gave this dress its soul. ”
Seeing that she was sincere, although she didn't admit in her heart that she would give a dress a "soul", she liked the design of this May very much, and she didn't want to be hypocritical: "Then thank you." ”
After leaving her phone and address, she went downstairs with the Admiral, who took her to the restaurant of the Taikoo Temple, and only then did she enter the private room and say, "Just now, you and that May you said to me, it doesn't look like buying and selling clothes." ”
"What does that look like?" asked Ciri.
The Admiral went through it in his mind before he said, "It's like exchanging love tokens." ”
Ciri blamed her affectionately: "Why am I a little jealous when I hear you say this? You asked me to buy this dress." ”
"You look good, this dress seems to belong to you. Then he laughed and said, "I'm not so possessive, jealous of a stranger." ”
Xili teased her: "I just said that I wanted to marry me, but I didn't want to eat vinegar." ”
"You unforgiving mouth, I'll wait for Pei Rui to treat you. As soon as the words came out, the Admiral immediately thought of a way to save it: "I mean ......"
Just as he was about to explain, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the food. The brief silence made the Admiral feel even more that he had said the wrong thing.
The waiter closed the door, and the admiral said, "I don't know if you like it or not, so let's try it." ”
Xili moved a few mouthfuls of chopsticks, knowing that the Admiral's topic just now came to an abrupt end because he took care of himself, and said: "Admiral, this time I came back to get back what belonged to my mother, and second, to find out the reason for my mother's disappearance. ”
