The Best Anthony in the World (8)
Rome is the capital of Italy, but also the birthplace of ancient Rome and the world's splendid culture, with a long history and profound cultural heritage, known as the 'Eternal City' by the world, different from the romance and fashion of Paris, France, this city shows more feelings and connotations to the world.
Antony arrived on seven small hills in the lower plains of the Tiber River in the west-central part of the Italian peninsula, and when Antony arrived, it was already dark, and the streets and alleys of Rome were lit up to welcome tourists into the city and return home as they watched their children.
Anthony knew where Heexi was, obviously missing her madly, but at this time he came to the city where she was, but he calmed down, and he didn't know if it was 'hometown cowardice', he had a feeling that he didn't dare to move forward for a while, his footsteps turned, turned to the avenue, he walked around the city, slowly felt the footprints she left on this land in the past two years, and wondered if she had also missed herself on a certain part of the road?
Someone on the road sells blueberry cake, he walks over and buys a piece, Hee-hee has loved this flavor of cake since she was a child, Anthony looks at the cake and smiles, and she doesn't know if this cake can be exchanged for her forgiveness.
According to the investigation, Xi Xi has been in Italy for the past two years, she met a friend in the army, the two have a good relationship, it just so happened that she also retired because of injury, the two partnered to open a flower shop here, the flower shop is not big, and the business is not prosperous, but for them, it doesn't matter how much money they make, they just like that state of life.
Anthony stood in front of the flower shop, tilting his head slightly, the wooden sign wrapped in wisteria, with the inscription 'Peace of Mind'.
Peace of mind here is my hometown.
Anthony walked slowly towards the door of the store, and when he held the glass doorknob in his hand, he realized that he was trembling slightly, pursed his lips, and pushed the door in.
"Welcome, do you need any flowers?"
The person in the store was not Heexi, it was another girl, and Anthony knew that this person was Heeki's friend, and he said, "I'm looking for Heexi." β
"Hee-hee, are you her friend?" he was clearly not a local, and the girl looked at him with some wariness in her eyes.
Anthony did not hide it, smiling and bowing: "Well, I am her friend, I am from Paris, France, my name is Anthony." β
"You're Anthony?" the girl exclaimed, looking shocked, probably because Xi Xi had told her about her, she was curious, she took two steps closer to look at him, and muttered to herself, "I said how can Xi Xi never forget you, it turns out that you are not only a diamond king, you are still rich and handsome! Anyway, are you really in your thirties? How do I feel that you are at most twenty-seven or eighteen years old?"
Anthony couldn't help but laugh, took a step back, and asked again, "Is Hee-Hee there?"
The girl nodded again and again, pointed to the small door and said, "Yes, yes, she arranges flowers in it." β
Anthony looked at the door and couldn't help but clench the cake gift bag in his hand: "Can I go in?"
"Okay, go quickly, Xixi must be very happy to see you, she tells me about you every day!"
Behind the small door is a small courtyard, full of all kinds of flowers, purple and red, and she is sitting on a bamboo chair with her back to him, trimming the excess branches and leaves in the flower pot, her back still looks very thin, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, humming a little song, and looking comfortable.
Anthony took a deep breath and finally called out the name that he had muttered countless times in his dreams: "Heehee"
He could clearly see that the man's back trembled violently.
Hei Xi never dreamed that this call would come so suddenly.
Since she left two years ago, she has imagined countless futures for her and him, maybe she will still go back to him without fighting after she has been away for a while, maybe she will be so ruthless and wander alone for the rest of her life, maybe she and he will meet unexpectedly at the corner of a certain street, or look at each other and laugh and say that they haven't seen each other for a long time, or they don't want to recognize each other...... In short, she had thought about all the endings she could come up with, but she didn't have the courage to think that he would come to her.
Who is he, Anthony, that honest and kind, the best Anthony in the world.
Not only did she have undeserved feelings for him, but she also did despicable things like drugged, how could he forgive her, and how could he take the initiative to come to her, and he didn't love her...... But now that he came, Xi Xi slowly turned around, and his movements were as light as possible, for fear that this was just a dream and would accidentally wake him up.
He was standing a meter away from her, with a faint smile, like a magnolia flower behind him, plain and elegant.
She shouted uncertainly, "...... Uncle. β
Anthony exhaled slowly, like dust falling to the ground: "Hmm." β
It's true.
Not what she had imagined.
Xi Xi took two quick steps forward, but stopped a few steps away from him, the picture of him pushing himself away two years ago was still clearly visible, she had palpitations, and she didn't dare to go any further: "You, why are you here?"
Anthony looked at this small distance, and her heart was slightly sour, she used to be as close as she could get to herself, but now she was so cautious, after all, because he had never given her hope, she had exhausted her enthusiasm, and she did not dare to try to fight the fire with moths.
He took two steps forward and took the initiative to take her into his arms: "I waited for you for two years and you didn't come back, I wonder if you forgot your way home, so I came to take you home." β
Anthony felt the body of the person in his arms trembling, and couldn't help but hug her tighter, probably fiddling with flowers and plants all day long, she had the smell of flowers on her body, and she couldn't tell what it was, but it smelled good.
She shed tears in his arms and asked with a crying voice, "Aren't you angry?"
Before Anthony could answer, Xixi had already raised his hand back and hugged him, hugging his back tightly, but like a bird shivering in the wind and rain, he said in a dumb voice: "I dare not go back, I am afraid that you have not forgiven me, I am afraid that you will drive me away and return me to someone else...... Uncle...... I miss you so much. β
Anthony was distressed and glad, and gently dropped a kiss on her forehead: "Fool, how could I not want you? β
Anthony took Shehi back to Paris, and the first thing he did was to explain to his parents that he was going to marry Shehi, and he would only want one of her in his life.
Mr. Michael was shocked, after all, he had never known about their relationship, and at first glance he heard that the two were going to get married, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
Also failed to accept Mrs. Rosa, the difference is that she knows the ambiguity between the two, she knew from two years ago that the purpose of proposing to let Xi Xi marry was to break the hearts of the two, but she didn't expect that no matter how hard she tried to stop it, they were still together.
"Have you ever been the first to raise her, if you marry her, what will people outside say about you?"
Anthony's blue eyes were as soft as water, mixed with a rare pleading: "I never care what people outside say, I know that you are not pedantic, don't you also hope that I can live well?
Lady Rosa looked at her son, then at See, and finally sighed helplessly.
Her son she knows best, since she said it, it must be to do her best to maintain and fight, to his lovesickness in the past two years, she also sees it, if she breaks them up again, he is afraid that he would rather die alone than have anyone else, right?
"I can't control you anymore, you can do whatever you like. Madame Rosa shook her head upstairs and said no more.
Mr. Michael had no choice but to say, "Your mother has no opinion, and I don't have any opinion, do you have a good day? When are you going to have a wedding?"
Anthony held Xixi's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled: "Xixi and I plan to travel and get married." β
Mr. Michael smiled and agreed with his head: "It's okay, you haven't rested much over the years, just take this opportunity to go out and relax, you don't have to worry about the company's affairs, your mother and I will help you watch." β
Because of Xixi's health, they chose Northern Europe, an ice continent with shorter daylight hours, as the location of their trip and marriage.
Their first stop was Norway, originally just to see the ice sculptures, but they were lucky enough to see the aurora.
As they were driving to the exhibition hall in Svalbard, the dark night sky was suddenly lit up by a wonderful beam of light, which filled her eyes with dazzling colors, and Hihi exclaimed in surprise and ran out of the car excitedly, watching the beam of light spin and bend in the night sky, like a virtuoso dancer dancing solo in a colorful and mysterious performance.
"Uncle!Uncle!It's the Aurora!We actually saw the Aurora!ahβit's so beautiful!" Hei Xi couldn't help herself, and jumped around him, and Anthony grabbed her a few times before grabbing her, wrapped her in his coat, hugged her tightly and smiled, "Well, I see." β
His arms were warm and delicate, and Xixi still felt unreal, and she didn't expect to really have him, but every time she thought about it, she couldn't help but snicker and giggle in his arms.
"Uncle, it's good to have you. β
The corners of Anthony's mouth curved slightly, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, "I've got the certificate, why do you still call me uncle?"
Xi Xi snorted lightly, tilted his head and said arrogantly: "I like to call you uncle! Uncle, uncle, uncle hahaha." β
Anthony smiled dumbly, held her chin in one hand, and lowered his head to kiss her lips, finally making this arrogant girl quiet.
After watching the aurora, the two continued to go to the ice sculpture exhibition hall, in fact, it is best to see the ice sculpture during the day, they originally planned to come to see it during the day, but there was an accident halfway through, and they were in bed...... cough cough delayed a little time, and didn't want to miss the annual ice sculpture festival, so I had to set off overnight.
When I arrived at the exhibition hall, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, as long as there were a few people in the exhibition hall, these ice sculptures were from the hands of the masters, there were fancy likes, only a donation of money can be taken away, and the money obtained will also be used for charity, Xi Xi likes these lifelike ice sculptures very much, fancy several, Anthony bought them for her, and thought that they are all used for public welfare, and the shots are also generous, so the two are also quite eye-catching.
Although they are only twelve years apart, Xixi has been relatively small since she was a child, obviously she is a twenty-year-old girl, but she looks like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, although Anthony is only in his early thirties, but he has a calm temperament and a gentle face, which at first glance will make people guess how old they are, so many people think they are ...... Father.
