Paris, the fashion capital of the world. A city where you can watch the time dance, a city where you can find yourself.

One of the lyrics in Jay Chou's "Confession Balloon": "Coffee on the Left Bank of the Seine"

One of them, the Seine, is located in Paris, and it is this river that divides Paris into the left and right banks.

The concept of the Left Bank is not just a region, but a way of life, a style of dressing or a certain social style, and the cafés of the Left Bank are also famous.

This evening, Song Qingyi took me to a café on the Left Bank called 'Double Couple', and I heard Song Qingyi say that this café has always played a pivotal role in the Paris Cultural Festival, even in the era of war and chaos, it is still vibrant.

If you want to meet celebrities, whether it's a famous philosopher, a novelist, or a musician, you can meet them all.

Except for the two strange-looking 'Oriental' porcelain dolls on the wall, the furnishings in the store are not very exquisite, and the appearance is very coarse.

The waiters still have their traditional black and white uniforms, and they serve with ease, occasionally giving you a humorous joke and treating strangers like old friends, but you can feel the warmth of the place.

Song Qingyi and I asked for a cup of our specialty coffee, and I wanted a stronger flavor, which is said to be the most expensive and best coffee on the left bank.

Song Qingyi said that this kind of coffee is not suitable for coffee machine grinding, but is purely handmade, so it is also the signature here.

The soft lighting of the shop illuminates the walls of tables and chairs that have not changed in the past few decades, and in a trance, in the shroud of light and smoke, it seems as if you have traveled through a century......

The French are very conscious of their taste for life, and no matter how old they are, especially when eating and drinking, they would rather have a good chocolate than a cheap box of Snickers.

We sipped our coffee and listened to the band's singing, as if time had stood still and all our worries had vanished.

Life can be so peaceful and leisurely, but this is the tranquility of the rich, such a cup of coffee is fifty euros, which is equivalent to about 380 yuan.

Of course, it's not too expensive, but even the most expensive Starbucks in China is only more than 100 yuan, unless it's expensive cat poop coffee.

After coming out of the café, Song Qingyi and I continued to walk around the Seine River for a while, it was very cold in Paris at night, and I didn't bring any warm clothes, so Song Qingyi proposed to go to the mall to buy me a set of clothes.

I said no, let's just go back to the hotel, but she insisted on taking me there, saying that she would wear it to her house tomorrow.

In the end, I couldn't beat her, France is also a shopping paradise, naturally there are countless shopping malls large and small, and the perfumes here are also world-famous.

The French are also very particular about dressing, and it takes one or two months for a suit to be made from the beginning to the completion of the production, and it can take half a month at the earliest.

Song Qingyi took me to a brand suit store, after all, in Europe and the United States, they are all suits.

We don't have much time to customize, Song Qingyi seems to have acquaintances, she took me to a suit shop called LACOSTE, the owner is a middle-aged man in his fifties, handsome long hair, and a very sexy beard, the whole is very literary and artistic.

Seeing Song Qingyi, the man came forward to greet Song Qingyi, they French greetings are all face-to-face, to be honest, I'm quite jealous.

Song Qingyi introduced me to him, and then asked him to help me get a suit, saying that we should hurry up as soon as possible.

As soon as I saw that this man was professional, he measured my figure by dividing it by two, and then began to talk to Song Qingyi, I couldn't fully understand their communication, probably knew that I was asking Song Qingyi what fabrics and materials he needed, etc., and then they chatted about their recent lives, and it seemed that they were old acquaintances.

In less than two hours, the suit was ready, not freshly made, but pieced together piece by piece of cloth, in fact, it was also freshly made.

I have to say that this man's hands are better than the girl's, and it only took two hours to get a suit, and then let me try it on.

When I put on this suit and stood in front of the mirror, I almost didn't know myself, who was this handsome guy?

Song Qingyi also nodded with satisfaction, and then began to ask the price, the man seemed to be quite generous, and said a number of 2000 euros.

The exchange rate between the euro and the renminbi is: 1 euro is about 7.5 yuan, and 2,000 euros can be calculated quickly, which is 15,000 yuan.

In fact, I know that it is normal for a custom suit to cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and people have hundreds of thousands of expensive ones, but I still think it is too expensive, and I can't wear such expensive clothes.

I said to Song Qingyi that I didn't need to, we just went out and found a suit store and bought a cheap set casually, but Song Qingyi insisted on buying it, she said that it was very cheap, and this was to help herself, so just ask me to wear it.

I really can't help it, the plane ticket was almost 10,000 yuan before, and it was a star-rated hotel after the end, and now it is more than 10,000 suits, and I spent at least 30,000 yuan on her before and after.

In the end, Song Qingyi still packed the suit, and we left the mall together, I was not in a very good mood, I felt very sorry, I don't like others to spend money for me, and this is not a small amount.

Song Qingyi also saw my thoughts, she called me to stop and said, "Didn't we all say before we came, I will buy you whatever you want to buy when you come to Paris, why are you still angry at this time?"

"I'm not angry, I just can't get it. ”

"I called you to Paris, shouldn't I be responsible for you?

I smiled wryly, "So, you think I'm embarrassing you, don't you?"

"That's not what I meant. ”

"That's what you mean!"

"If I think you're embarrassing me, will I bring you here? ”

"Hehe, do you think I'm stupid to bring me here? Okay, you can find someone else! I'll buy my own ticket back!"

I don't know why I'm so impatient all of a sudden, maybe it's because my heart is unbalanced, she is a golden phoenix, and I am an old hen from the countryside, who can balance this sense of disparity?

Song Qingyi was also angry, she stopped chasing my footsteps, and shouted behind me: "Xiang Nan, you are becoming more and more unreasonable, if you want to go, just leave! I don't care about you!"

I didn't pay any attention to her, and walked forward alone, but I didn't know where I was going, and suddenly I had no sense of direction, and I seemed to be lost......

I looked back and looked in the direction I had come, but the streets in front of me were almost identical, and I didn't know where I had gone.

Since there is no network on my mobile phone, I am completely disoriented, it turns out that without Song Qingyi by my side, I am not even as good as a dog!

I regret it now, I regret being angry with Song Qingyi.

I found a roadside and squatted down, wondering if I could meet a Chinese, and then asked him how to get back to the hotel.

After waiting for more than ten minutes without seeing a familiar face, I wiped my face with both hands in frustration, and then stood helplessly in the middle of the crowd, looking at the unfamiliar faces and unfamiliar words.

I've never thought I'd felt so lonely at the moment, I couldn't even do the simplest currency exchange, where did I have the confidence to contact this strange world alone?
