Chapter 65: Intoxicated
Actually, I was afraid that the waiter would say yes, and if it did, it would be even more terrifying - because I was not used to long-haul flights, I usually only traveled within four hours. I'm sure I've never been to Europe, let alone Paris. In a place where you have never set foot before, you encounter something familiar. It's hard to put into words, I just feel like my heart is being grabbed and my chest is pounding.
"I only came here last week, so I don't know ......," the waiter shook his head.
I was secretly relieved, I really didn't want to know now.
At this time, the waiter who had finished delivering food to another table suddenly interjected: "There used to be a holly tree, and every Christmas, we take holly branches from there to make Christmas wreaths, and the tree is very old, and the heart of the tree is empty." The people of the Lands and Forestry Department assessed that they might fall and injure passers-by in windy weather, so they sawed it off. The waiter pulled up the photo from his phone and showed it to me, "I deliberately took the picture before sawing it off, what a big guy......"
My eyes fell on the picture taken by the waiter, and my body suddenly tensed. The holly tree looked familiar, and the parasols under the canopy were in the blue and white striped pattern. The heart slammed like a dull ache from a bullet. I put a note on the table and walked forward in a trance. There should be a small theater further in front, and the popcorn in front of the theater is delicious. I like to buy a small bucket of popcorn and then go to the bookstore across the street to buy magazines......
I felt like I was standing on the dividing line between dream and reality, and the familiar scene was like broken glass, which could not be pieced together into a complete shape, but the slag of broken glass was shining and could not be ignored. When I saw the small theater with a red roof and white walls, it was as if I had been struck by thunder, it was real, and I couldn't tell if I had really been here or if it was a dream that was too real.
"Be careful...... "The moment I was taken to the side of the road, a bicycle grazed my elbow, and Chris grabbed my shoulder, "It didn't hurt, did it?"
"No ......," I shook my head.
"Why are you here?" said Chris scrutinizing me, still afraid I'd be bumped.
"Choose jewelry and wedding dresses......" I replied mechanically.
Chris was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll treat you to dinner after half a world and still meet, I'll treat you to dinner." ”
"Good. "I need to do something right now to distract myself, otherwise my head will be constantly wondering what it has to do with this place.
Chris took me to a restaurant in an old mansion where Louis XIII was said to have proclaimed his accession. The old mansion, which is more than 400 years old, has iron bars, log gates, and stained glass windows under a black canopy. The warm light shines through the house, and in addition to the imprint of history, there is also some mystery. Silver cutlery sparkles in the candlelight, amber champagne sits in slender goblets and small bubbles float up.
"Taste this. Chris pushed his glass in front of me.
I took a big sip from my glass, I needed a drink to suppress my freak.
"Today's main course, scallops with white truffles. The waiter introduced the dishes.
"That's right...... Do you have a job in Paris?" If it's a job, why didn't Allen, who reminded Chris of his itinerary like an alarm clock, show up.
"I'm ...... ...... vacation," Chris smiled at me, "you can come to me if you want to wander around tomorrow, I studied in Paris for 5 years, and I can take you to interesting places." ”
"Let's talk about it...... "With this afternoon's experience, I have a little bit of a psychological shadow about visiting Paris.
I hadn't eaten much, and I drank most of the champagne. When Jin Junchi called, I was still struggling with the remaining half bottle, and he asked me where I had gone.
"I'm ...... Dine...... Well...... "I shook my head vigorously to clear myself up......
"Drunk?" Jin Junchi's voice rose high.
"Hmm...... Drinking...... "I continued to sip the champagne from the crystal glass.
"Where's the restaurant? I'll pick you up. Jin Junchi's tone was a little anxious.
"I don't know where to ......"
"Sangsang...... Don't drink it...... You're drunk......" Chris held down my hand as I continued to pour the wine.
"Who are you with?" Jin Junchi continued, "Give him the phone." ”
"Oh. I took my phone to Chris, "My husband is looking for you......"
I don't know what Jin Junchi and Chris said, my head is dizzy, but I still feel very uncomfortable. The city seemed familiar to me, but it was so strange that I didn't know what was wrong with me or what I had to do.
When Jin Jun came to pick me up late, I was lying on the table staring at the reflection of the wine glass, and it was very similar to my state of mind when it was clear that it was extinguishing like a dream.
"We went back. Jin Junchi helped me up from the chair, and his strong arms wrapped around my waist.
"Hmm. I nodded nonchalantly, and naturally leaned into his solid embrace.
When I got in the car, I felt a little bored: "Would you like to open the windows a little?"
"Hmph. Jin Jun glanced at me lately, "Ran out to eat with other men, and drank dizzy, are you underwhelmed, huh?"
I don't want to explain this at all. If I had dinner by myself today, I would have drunk as well. I put my chin in my hand and asked softly, "Have you ever been to a place you haven't been to, and all of a sudden it feels familiar, as if you've ......seen it before?"
"Nope. Jin Junchi smiled and poked my forehead, "It seems that I really drank high......"
Jin Junchi reversed the order, this strange feeling existed before I drank, but I didn't have an explanation**-That's it, even if I really came to France before, this matter shouldn't be important, otherwise how could I not remember.
When I got back to the hotel, I took a shower and fell asleep, I had a long dream, as if I could never wake up again. When I woke up in the morning, I just remember feeding the pigeons in a corner of a certain square. With breadcrumbs in his hands, gray doves landed at his feet, and when he looked up, he seemed to see the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
I rubbed my eyes and sat up, I really drank too much yesterday, and my head was still a little confused.
Jin Junchi walked out of the bathroom, with only a bath towel around his waist: "Where do you want to go to play today, I'll accompany you." ”
"If you have something to do, go get busy, I want to stay in the hotel. "I have worked at Hang Lung and know about Jin Junchi's work arrangement. He has always been in charge of the branch in France, and he has been managing it remotely since he returned to China, and now he must have a backlog of work that he has to come forward. And I didn't want to go out at all.
"When I come back in the evening, I find that the room is empty, and I have to bring back the drunk man from a certain restaurant......" Jin Junchi unceremoniously expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Yesterday was an accident...... I don't do it every day...... "I changed my skirt and went to wash."
"Do you still want to do this every day?" Jin Junchi stood at the door of the bathroom, buttoning his shirt.
"Not ......," I put down my mouthwash cup and began to wash my face.
Breakfast called the hotel room delivery, looking at a table of Western-style breakfast, I miss Aunt Wu's white porridge a little, with a few side dishes, so delicious that I cried.
Jin Junchi changed his clothes after breakfast: "Since you don't want to go out, I'll go to the company first." Take care of your work now, you won't have to come back at the end of the year, and I can take you wherever you want to go at Christmas. ”
"Christmas...... Can I go and see the Northern Lights?" I blurted out almost without thinking.
"......" Jin Junchi seemed to have been immobilized, his mouth was slightly open, and his fingers froze there motionless halfway through the tie.
You can go to Norway or Finland to see the aurora, and you don't need to go directly to the North Pole, don't be so surprised: "Do you have other arrangements, but ...... We'll talk about that then. "It's a whim, but it's a lot of anticipation. If Jin Jun can't go by then, I can tempt Xue Fei to join me.
"Okay, let's go see the Northern Lights. Jin Junchi suddenly buckled me into his arms, buried his face in my neck socket, and sprayed my skin with hot breath, itchy, "Sangsang, you are the best gift that Shang compensated me......"
Jin Junchi is rarely so emotional, and it makes my heart melt. It was only when I recalled what he said on this day that I noticed that he was talking about 'compensation' rather than 'giving'. In fact, things have been known from a very early age, but when I was in it, I ignored many key points, just like walking a maze, before I hit the wall, I didn't know that I was wrong.
"Mr. Jin, you're going to be late for work. "I turned my head and saw that the clock was already pointing to 8:40. Paris, like all metropolises, is like drinking cold water in a traffic jam. What's even more terrifying is that people's trade unions often organize various strikes to 'raise wages' and 'oppose layoffs', and the subway is not so punctual.
"I'll be back with you in the afternoon. Jin Junchi kissed my forehead, "Obedient." ”
"Hmm. I nodded.
After Jin Jun left, I opened my mailbox to deal with work emails. Xiang Qi decided to set the venue for the latest season's clothing show in Paris. I also think this is a great idea, and the brand released in the international fashion capital is naturally an international first-line brand. The location of the press conference alone is enough for the media to hype up for a while.
Anyway, I'm in Paris now, so I can help with the fight or something. I sent Xiang Qi an email and asked him if he needed help. Xiang Qi is simply a second back - Vice President Sang should contact the venue. When I saw the location that Xiang Qi sent me, I wanted to pick and choose, but he actually chose the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles.
