Chapter Seventy-Four: Amelie of Apgull Pavilion
……
Apgu-tei.
Formerly known as Apgujeong-dong, it is a cave under the jurisdiction of JN District, Seoul, South Korea, and is named after Han Myung-huon, the military advisor of Joseon Sejo.
In recent years, the area around Apgujeong has developed into one of the famous shopping districts in Seoul, mainly selling high-end consumer goods, most of which are imported from Europe, the United States and RB, and has become an indicator of Korean fashion trends.
After Zhang Shixuan followed Li Zhien off the bus, he saw this bustling area.
At both ends of the street are shops, most of which are clothing stores, such as clothing stores and pants stores. A small number of them are some food stores, such as the Amelie coffee shop in front of Zhang Shixuan.
The streets also seem to be crowded with people. Since it was almost four o'clock and the sun was not very hot, many young women came out of their homes and started shopping. And because it's almost summer, and Korean women seem to be very trendy, they are all dressed very coolly.
Zhang Shixuan saw that several lower bodies were directly wearing ultra-short hot pants, and then a pair of black stockings or white stockings, and hissed......
It's a visual feast!
Zhang Shixuan observed this bustling street with a slightly strange eye, as if he wanted to keep this good place in his mind.
He hasn't been to this place yet, although the last time he went to Huayu KTV was also in Apguting, but the location of Huayu KTV is a relatively remote place, and it was still one or two o'clock in the afternoon at that time, so it is far from the current prosperity.
He immediately asked Li Zhien, who was a little excited next to him, and said, "Zhien, has it always been so lively here?"
"Inside, senior. It is one of the most prosperous areas in Seoul. Li Zhien nodded his little head, and then said to Zhang Shixuan: "Let's hurry up, senior." Look, this is the place, I've been here several times! The coffee and sweet fruit pie are delicious!"
As she spoke, she also stretched out her hand and kept pointing to the café named Amelie that Zhang Shixuan had seen before.
Zhang Shixuan looked at the café again.
This café is a two-story building, with an area of about 180 square meters from the outside, and the decoration looks luxurious, the exterior walls are made of transparent glass, and the glass is dyed golden yellow by the golden lights in the hall, which looks brilliant.
Looking through the golden glass, several couples can be seen sitting close to the glass.
On the far left is an old man who looks to be about fifty or sixty years old, with white hair, sitting there looking at a newspaper in his hand.
In the middle was a young man who was holding a thick-looking book and looking at it with relish, and occasionally taking a sip of coffee on his desk.
On the far right and innermost is a man and a woman, who appear to be dating. But they may all be a little shy, the woman keeps her head down and keeps stirring the coffee with a coffee spoon, while the man looks restless, his eyes constantly looking away, as if he is in danger at any moment.
After Zhang Shixuan saw the general scene, he couldn't help but ask Li Zhien next to him again: "Zhien, why don't we go to the dessert shop to eat sweet fruit pie, but go to the café to eat?"
He wondered, could it be that the sweet fruit pie in the café was particularly delicious? But it was impossible, if that was the case, wouldn't the dessert shop be able to open?
Hearing this, Li Zhien's face froze, and then he said with some embarrassment: "That, senior......" Seeing Zhang Shixuan looking at herself, she smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued: "Actually, I want to drink coffee, and then eat some sweet fruit pie by the way......"
She felt a little embarrassed, so she put her hands in front of her legs a little unconsciously, showing some restraint.
"Is that really the case?" Zhang Shixuan was a little amused when he saw her embarrassed look, and asked again.
Seeing that Li Zhien nodded slowly, he continued: "Okay, since that's the case, then the senior will take you to drink coffee and sweet fruit pie today!" As he spoke, he smiled at Li Zhien, and at the same time stretched his right hand forward a little, and then bent an arc, looking like a knight holding a sword.
"Omo?jinjia?" Li Zhien raised his head suddenly, and saw Zhang Shixuan looking at her with a smile on his face. Then she hurriedly reached out and grabbed his bent hand, and at the same time shouted happily: "Senior zzang!"
"Good, good, you little glutton. Zhang Shixuan replied helplessly, and then walked towards the other side of the road with his feet raised.
"Hee-hee!" Lee Ji-eun grinned and didn't refute, then quickened his pace to keep up with him.
After the two crossed the street, they came to the door of this café named Amelie, and then Zhang Shixuan turned his head slightly to look at Li Zhien, and found that she was looking through the glass with an excited face, and immediately he smiled and pushed the door open and entered.
When the door is closed, the noise outside is cut off and replaced by a beautiful piano music. Zhang Shixuan sighed in his heart that the sound insulation effect of this café was good, and at the same time, he began to look at the decoration inside.
Just like what he saw outside, Zhang Shixuan glanced at it and found that there were about seven or eight golden chandeliers, which were shining with golden light, like diamonds that were emitting dazzling light.
There were about a dozen tables, and the seats were all brown sofas made of leather. However, the entire café was almost full, and there were only about five or six seats left.
Just as Zhang Shixuan was still looking left and right, a sweet voice brought him back to his senses.
"Aniarthur, welcome to our store, what do you two need?"
After hearing the voice, Zhang Shixuan looked at it, and then saw a waiter in a white shirt and a short black skirt looking at him with a smile.
Zhang Shixuan immediately smiled kindly at her, then turned his head to Li Zhien and said, "Zhien, what do you want to eat, go and order it yourself, seniors have to go to the bathroom first." With that, he let go of her grip on him.
Li Zhien didn't resist either, obediently cooperated with him to let go, and then smiled sweetly: "Inside, senior." But what flavor of coffee do you want to drink?Um......" She paused, then tilted her little head and asked, "Do you want to eat sweet fruit pie?"
"You don't need a sweet fruit pie, you can order me a sweeter, lighter cup of coffee. Zhang Shixuan said.
Because his family was poor in his previous life, and he was only single, he had never been to this café once, so naturally he didn't know the type of coffee. And even if he usually drinks coffee in the bedroom, it is all instant coffee, so to avoid ordering it wrong, it is better to ask Lee Ji-eun to order it for himself.
Li Zhien nodded in agreement, and then jumped to the front desk, and Zhang Shixuan said to the waiter who was still smiling at him, "Where is the toilet?"
"Sir, you go straight along this side and turn left to see it. The waiter stretched out his hand and said sweetly to Zhang Shixuan.
"Okay, thanks. Zhang Shixuan thanked him politely, and then walked briskly in the direction she pointed.
"You're welcome sir. The waiter responded in the back, but Zhang Shixuan walked quickly, so he didn't hear clearly.
……
After Zhang Shixuan came out of the toilet, he saw at a glance that Li Zhien was sitting in a position not very far away from him and waving to him, with a smile on his face, and at the same time there were two young girls sitting opposite her.
When the two girls saw Li Zhien waving backwards, they couldn't help but look back, and then Zhang Shixuan saw two familiar faces.
