Someone once said that falling out of love is a bitter wine that is hard to swallow.

Because of broken love, there are countless people who have done countless stupid things. Hundreds of years ago, a young German aristocrat also fell out of love and did a stupid thing. It's just that compared to other people's actions, his actions are a bit big.

Because of his broken love, he chose to build himself a rock church to face the wall. And that church has become a pilgrimage site for lovelorns because of their own reasons and spiritual sustenance.

December 13, 2017, morning.

Lin Xi and Kim Tae-yeon, who had just met in Seoul yesterday, also took a direct flight to Germany after the meeting. Coupled with the time difference, I came to Germany in one night, after all, I rested for a while, and finally in the morning, after breakfast, I came to this rock church next to the beautiful town of Idar-Oberstein in Germany.

Walking on the stone road of the town, Lin Xi, who had just gotten off the car, saw the white chapel on the rocky cliff on the mountain outside the town.

"I'm a little surprised by your choice. ”

Looking at the church in front of him, Lin Xi glanced sideways at Kim Taeyeon next to him.

"Surprised? Okay, like our current status and situation, if we go on a trip, shouldn't we be here?"

Kim Taeyeon raised her head and looked at the white chapel in the distance, her eyes flashing with an indescribable gaze. Then, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Xi, "You say, should we spend this trip hand in hand, or should we go our separate ways like this." ”

Hearing this question, Lin Xi also thought of the question when booking a room in the hotel, 'Do you think we should book one room, or two rooms'.

Lin Xi, who answered 'two rooms' at the time, took the initiative to hold the little man next to him again this time, "Let's spend it hand in hand, since you can hug it, it's nothing to hold hands." ”

Looking down at the right hand that was clenching him, the corners of Kim Taeyeon's mouth curled, "Aren't you afraid?"

"I believe in myself. However, Lin Xi's answer made Kim Taeyeon's smile fade again.

While talking, the two did not stop, but walked towards the rock church in the distance step by step. It's just that this road has attracted the attention of many passers-by and travelers.

After all, as mentioned before, this is a place of pilgrimage for lovelorns. Most of the people who come here to travel are people who have just fallen out of love, or who have not yet come out of the situation of falling out of love, but at that moment, a couple holding hands suddenly appeared and walked on the road with them.

From this, it is believed that the picture at this time is so embarrassing.

"We're not going to be beaten. ”

Looking at the gazes of some people looking at her, Kim Taeyeon suddenly became a little scared. She chose this place at that time, that is, because it was also called a 'pilgrimage place for lovelorns', but she didn't expect so much.

"Probably not, at most expelled. Besides, we don't seem to be any different from them, and now we're on what you call a 'lovelorn trip'. ”

Compared to Kim Taeyeon's worries, Lin Xi didn't have much of a facial reaction. Those eyes kept staring at the rock church in front of him, and occasionally looked at the little person next to him out of the corner of his eye, and only he could understand the feelings in his heart.

Although the pace of the two was not fast, they still quickly came to the white church in front of them. Standing on the trail, this time Kim Taeyeon took the initiative to let go of Lin Xi's hand, "For the rest, let's go separately." Then, meet again here. ”

"Is it safe?" However, Lin Xi subconsciously frowned and looked at Kim Taeyeon with some concern.

"In broad daylight, what danger can there be, you look around, it's all one person. In the face of Lin Xi's concern, Kim Taeyeon also showed a faint smile. Then, she took the lead in entering the church, and let Lin Xi, who was standing in place, look at her back, and after being in a daze for a while, she took the same steps and walked in.

The entire structure of this rock church is hand-hewn out of the rock and embedded in the recess of the cliff. It was built in 1482, and although the area is only a few dozen square meters, it is also "complete".

On the lowest floor, there is a folding altar that tells religious stories, on the second floor there is a circle of seating enclosures for the choir and prayers, and on the top floor, clinging to the rock, there is an organ from 1736 carved with a strange figure carved underneath.

The furnishings in the church are also priceless. For example, the large wardrobe of the Middle Ages, the baptismal stone basin, the tin pot, the ancient books, etc. Two frescoes carved from locally sourced jasper and agate and a naturally occurring agate cross are even more rare. From the rock balcony of the church, you can see the town surrounded by mountains and rivers.

After walking around Lin Xi, he finally heard his footsteps in front of the little man under the organ. Then I don't know if it's due to tacit understanding, Kim Taeyeon, who was originally separated from Lin Xi, also walked over, stood beside him, and softly explained to him the history of this church and the origin of the villain in front of him.

"When you came, you probably knew that the name of this town was Idar-Oberstein, which sounds like a person's name. In fact, this name is a local earl nobleman back then. And then a pair of brothers in this family fell in love with the same woman very dramatically, and then, as you said to me watching the TV series before, the bloody plot happened. The woman was only devoted to her brother, and after the two fell in love, it caused his brother's jealousy and anger. Finally, in a fit of rage, he pushed his brother into the cliff. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xi seemed to have guessed something, and his eyes turned to the cliff outside the church balcony.

"Well, here it is. So the younger brother built this church near the place where he had fallen to death, where he repented of his sins all day long. In front of us, we see that this strange villain is the younger brother in repentance. ”

"Stories come from life, and that's true. After listening to the story that Kim Taeyeon told herself, Lin Xi smiled and sighed. In fact, for the history of this church, Lin Xi can check it out by himself before he comes. But because of Kim Tae-yeon's previous request, he chose to do nothing. Even the text annotation engraving that had just been in the church, he had chosen to ignore the past.

Because he knew that Kim Taeyeon would tell him, it turned out that Lin Xi also guessed right.

Walking out of the church balcony again, the two of them stood here, looking out at the town below the hill. At this time, Kim Taeyeon spoke again, "But time is really a terrible thing, this is a pilgrimage site for 'lovelorns', but in a small town not far from here, there is a 'love street'." ”

"Love Street?" Lin Xi, who hadn't done any homework, was really confused about the history and some attractions here.

"Well, in that small town down there, there are dozens of gem workshops. For those beautiful gemstones, it is estimated that even those who have lost love can forget their troubles for a while and enjoy these beautiful things very happily. Kim Taeyeon nodded and explained.

"Does this have anything to do with love? After quietly raising his eyebrows, Lin Xi was still puzzled.

Lin Xi was puzzled, and Kim Taeyeon was just as confused as him before. It wasn't until I checked a lot of information and local news that I confirmed it, and I dared to say such an answer to Lin Xi, "Because that street is very interesting, I heard that many lovelorn people meet their sweetheart after visiting the church here and then going to Love Street, so as to regain love." ”

When he said this, the hands of the two were also unconsciously holding together.

The temperature is still the same familiar. Holding hands with Lin Xi like this again, standing on the scenic spot and chatting happily about various topics, this feeling is too familiar. Pursing her lips, Kim Taeyeon tried her best not to think too much, let alone look at Lin Xi. But the temperature in Lin Xi's palm seemed to awaken the tenderness that was sleeping in her heart.

Driven by these mentalities, Kim Taeyeon also had an idea in her heart. That is Lin Xi at this moment, is his heart the same as himself, and he is missing this kind of warmth and gentleness. Or, is the other party no longer nostalgic and is resisting these things?

Chaos, Kim Taeyeon, who thought of this at this time, became a little chaotic. So gradually, she asked herself to look at the town, trying to use the beautiful landscape painting in front of her to suppress her crazy mentality.

It turns out that beautiful things can really bring the human spirit into an inexplicable silence and softness. Slowly, Kim Taeyeon, who was still thinking about countless ideas, also calmed down the surging psychology.

"Let's go, I didn't expect that we had only been standing here for a while, and it was almost noon. Let's go down the mountain and get ready for lunch. ”

Raising his hand, Lin Xi, who glanced at the time, suddenly spoke.

"So fast?"

Kim Taeyeon, who was next to her, was also stunned when she heard it, and also raised her hand to look at the time, only to find that it was still early, "It's not noon, are you hungry?"

Although he asked like this, Kim Taeyeon's footsteps did not hesitate at all, and left the church with Lin Xi.

"The time to go down the mountain, plus a visit to the town and find a comfortable restaurant, the time is about the same. Although she said that she had promised Kim Taeyeon, she would arrange the trip this time. But habit is habit, and subconsciously Lin Xi still seized the initiative, and Kim Taeyeon, as always, did not hesitate and followed the man in front of him with 100% trust.

On the way down the mountain, the two also chatted about various things about this church all the way. Or in other words, all kinds of substitutions at the time, chatting about whether there will be another situation.

Just chatting, the two suddenly saw a circle of small places around the roadside, and very beautiful tunes and singing were coming out.

Originally, Lin Xi didn't plan to get involved in this excitement, but after seeing Kim Taeyeon's eager gaze, he smiled and walked over by her hand.

In fact, the situation over there is also very simple. It's just a lovelorn person who thinks radiating on the way to travel, and suddenly stands on the side of the road and sings a song. Then it just so happened that the song he sang also rendered a lot of other people who were also in a state of broken love, so a chorus was slowly formed.

Standing in the crowd, Kim Taeyeon, who is a singer, also hummed softly along with everyone. It's just that although the song is sad, because of the atmosphere of the scene, everyone is full of very happy smiles.

Until the end and leaving, Kim Taeyeon still hummed the song just now. It wasn't until he remembered something that he stopped his voice and tilted his head to look at Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, I heard that most relationships have a background song and a background picture, what do you say our background song and background picture are?"

When Lin Xi, who was walking, heard this question, he also replied without hesitation, "There is no doubt that the background song is your "If". As for the background image, there are a lot of images, and I don't know which one. ”

""If"?" Biting her lip, Kim Taeyeon thought about her song, but her mentality became a little weird.

Because for this song "If", her first feeling was painful, and she sang this song day and night in order to save the team, so that whenever she heard or sang it again later, it reminded her of a very bad picture.

It's just that this feeling was completely reversed in that colorful night a few years ago. This song, which made her very uncomfortable, completely became a song that made her smile. Because of this song, she met Lin Xi, and because of this song, she met love.

But time has come to the present, and the relationship between the two seems to have come to an end. Looking back at this song at this time, Kim Taeyeon suddenly found that the mood of the song that she thought she could understand very well was very stingy at this time. Because at this time, her understanding of this song has been sublimated again.

However, for this sublimation, Kim Taeyeon is very resistant in her heart. And I thought of a sentence I saw when I was learning some Chinese knowledge before: I don't know the meaning of the song when I hear it at first, and I am already a person in the song when I listen to it again.

This sentence seems to be exactly the case for himself and Lin Xi.

Thinking of this, Kim Tae-yeon's gaze also turned slightly, looking at Lin Xi, who was also silent next to him.

So, Kim Taeyeon nodded fiercely in her heart and replied, "It's better to use the background picture, just use the colorful night you gave me that day, how about it." ”

Lin Xi, who was in silence, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay." ”
