The boatman named Loviso, who was standing at the stern of the boat, was in his fifties and had gray hair and beard, but it was obviously the first time he had seen the two girls kissing under the Bridge of Sighs, and he was stunned for a long time before he burst out laughing, and gave Elizabeth and Julia a thumbs up, while gloating at Eric and saying something out loud.

Although Eric couldn't understand it, he could guess that the old guy was gloating, and the other party must have thought that he was trying to date one of the girls, but was 'snatched away from him' by another person, and he could only grin awkwardly, and there was no way to explain it when he didn't understand the language.

However, the scene of the two girls kissing under the Bridge of Sighs is quite beautiful, and after Eric laughed, he couldn't help but raise his camera and save the image with a few clicks.

Julia's eyes widened, and she felt Elizabeth hugging her waist, her thin red lips sucking on her lips, and she stayed for more than half a minute, when she heard the shutter of Eric's camera, she came back to her senses, hurriedly pushed the girl who was holding her, and protested at a loss: "Liz, you ...... How can you do that!"

Elizabeth saw Julia's flushed and coquettish appearance, and couldn't help but put her arms around the girl's waist and kissed Julia on the cheek, before she raised her head and said to Eric domineeringly: "Eric, Julia will be mine in the future, you are not allowed to bully her again." ”

"Liz, what nonsense are you talking about. ”

Julia finally became anxious when she heard Elizabeth's words, and reached out to pinch Elizabeth's waist, and Elizabeth also screamed and fought back. The two had a quarrel for a while, and the small gondola swayed because of the nonsense of the two girls. Frightened, the old boatman Loviso hurriedly stopped. Julia and Elizabeth stopped.

The three of them spent the whole morning walking around the Grand Canal. After lunch, Eric asked the local guide and took the water bus directly to a well-known Venetian mask shop.

"I don't like these things. ”

Walking into the storefront, Elizabeth looked at the surrounding walls densely covered with all kinds of simple and ornate masks, and said the first thing.

"Why?" asked Eric as he took off a golden mask without a mouth.

Elizabeth followed Eric and said, "I've seen the introduction, and these masks are said to have been worn by nobles and fugitives who had stolen their love, symbolizing camouflage and pretentiousness. ”

"Oh, you thought there was none of that. When people get along with each other, don't they wear masks?"

Eric replied casually, putting down the simple 'Baota' mask, and took a white ghost mask with gold patterns depicted on it, and pulled Julia over next to her to cover the girl's face, looking left and right.

Elizabeth was stunned for a moment when she heard Eric's words, and then couldn't help but retort: "Definitely...... There must be, but at least it won't be so naked. ”

"You're just struggling with a question of truth and falsehood, which is hard to tell. You see. I didn't wear a mask, but I did. And in order not to be seen through, I won't tell anyone if I'm wearing a mask or not. But if somebody actually wears these masks, you can tell at a glance, oh, that guy wears a mask. Seriously, those who put the mask on their face were a little more honest, while those who put the mask behind their smile were more hypocritical. ”

Elizabeth pondered Eric's words carefully, and although she had to agree with the other party's words again, her small mouth was still unforgiving: "You...... You're just stealing concepts. ”

"Whatever you want," Eric beckoned to the boss who was waiting nearby, "Excuse me, do you speak English?"

"Of course," the shopkeeper in his forties, with a mustache, nodded and asked in proficient English, "which one do you like, sir?"

Eric looked around and said, "I want to buy a full set, including a hat and a cape, but I don't seem to be able to see those?"

"Follow me," the boss nodded, and led Eric directly to a nearby room: "Here, please feel free." ”

The shopkeeper said, without too much earnest, and took the initiative to exit the room and return to the back of the counter.

Eric doesn't mind, he prefers to be in a state where he chooses his own products. Small items such as hats, cloaks, and folding fans were taken and dressed up as a mannequin.

"Hey, you're rude, and don't ask Julia if she's willing to let you fiddle. Elizabeth jumped out and was not dissatisfied.

Julia, who was wearing a mask, quickly shook her head: "No...... Never mind. ”

Eric raised his chin proudly at Elizabeth, stamped the girl in anger, and glared at Julia, who had no position, and said that you deserve to be bullied.

Moments later, after Eric's outfit, Julia's entire body was covered in a mask and cloak. A white wide-brimmed hat decorated with purple feathers, a purple cloak embroidered with ornate gold patterns underneath, a lilac silk scarf wrapped around his neck, and a purple silk folding fan in his hand with black long-sleeved gloves.

"How's it going?" asked Erik as he dragged Julia to the fitting mirror.

"It's ...... It's beautiful. Julia nodded as she looked at herself in the mirror through her mask.

Elizabeth also came over, and although there was obvious excitement in her eyes, she still asked, "Why purple?"

"Purple represents mystery, don't you think it goes well with the style of the mask?"

"I still think white is prettier," Elizabeth said, gesturing to a white cloak hanging from a shelf.

Eric laughed, "Then I'll make another white one later." With that, Eric instructed Julia to take off the mask cloak and ask the shopkeeper to help wrap it, and Eric spent another hour saving up several other sets of different styles.

Elizabeth helped take off a hat and handed it to Eric, asking, "What are you buying all this for?"

Eric replied, "Give someone away, come to Venice, and always bring some gifts back." ”

The corners of Elizabeth's mouth hung up with a hint of teasing: "The one who gave the woman is right?"

Eric smiled noncommittally. See Eric's default expression. Elizabeth's movements faltered. Then he scolded with a disdainful face: "What a flowery carrot." ”

Hearing the conversation between Eric and Elizabeth, Julia's originally excited eyes became gloomy when she was caught in the middle and covered under a mask as a model.

After saving up five sets, Eric stepped forward to check out.

After asking which currency to pay, the boss calculated it before raising his head and smiling: "A total of 2,200 US dollars, just count you 2,000." ”

Eric, who had already taken out his wallet, looked at the other party suspiciously, and the boss took the initiative to explain: "I like what you said about masks when you first entered the store, sir, so I will give you a discount." ”

Eric smiled, "Thank you very much. ”

Walk out of the store with a few bags. Eric shoved one bag to Julia, looked at the other bag and checked it before handing it to Elizabeth.

"I don't want to help you with anything," Elizabeth quickly put her little hand in the pocket of her jeans and raised her chin to look arrogant.

"Don't you like this white set? It's for you, don't you, don't you want me to give it to Julia. ”

"Hmph, don't be in vain," Elizabeth snatched at once.

Eric took the lead in carrying the remaining three bags and walked towards the water bus stop, and Elizabeth, who followed behind, approached Julia's side: "Julia." What is yours like?"

Although Eric didn't say it explicitly, Julia already knew that the set in her hand was given to her by Eric. After opening it and looking at it, he hugged it in his arms and said to Elizabeth, "It's the purple suit at the beginning." ”

Elizabeth pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing with such a tight hug, I won't rob you." ”

Julia took a few quick steps and ran towards Eric, ignoring Elizabeth's teasing, who had to speed up her pace to catch up.

"Eric, will you come out tomorrow?" asked Elizabeth, sitting on the boat.

Julia looked up at Eric expectantly.

Eric shook his head: "Tomorrow's opening ceremony, I'm afraid I don't have time." ”

"When will you take the time to tell me about your movie?"

"I'll ...... hundreds of thousands of dollars in minutes," Eric had just pretended to look embarrassed, and the girl was brutally pinched on his arm.

After Elizabeth finished pinching, Eric and Julia were both slightly stunned, and looked at Eric's arm together, Eric was only wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt, so there was a faint pinch mark on his arm. That's not the point of the matter, it's ...... Such a slightly intimate and slightly coquettish gesture is usually only made between couples.

But Elizabeth obviously didn't realize this, and when she saw the expressions of the two people, she puffed up angrily: "What's the matter, he deserves to pinch him, he knows how to make money all day long, what a vulgar guy." With that, the girl angrily tilted her head to the side, as if she didn't want to pay any more attention to Eric.

And Julia, who was originally a little sour in her heart, saw Eric's slightly embarrassed expression, and then lowered her head, and a smile of unknown meaning hung on the corner of her mouth.

"Oops, my legs are so sore," back in the Lido Island Hotel, Elizabeth put down the bag that Eric gave her, threw herself directly on the sofa, turned her head and said to Julia who came in later: "Julia, help me pinch my legs, I'll help you pinch them later, otherwise my calves will definitely hurt tomorrow." ”

"Yes," said Julia, sitting down on the other side of the couch, lifting Elizabeth's calves up and placing them on her thighs, kneading them gently.

Elizabeth snorted comfortably a few times before muttering, "No, I'll figure out a way to let that guy take some time out of my time, so I don't have to deal with the paper in a so-so way." ”

Julia kneaded Elizabeth's calves and thought for a moment before saying, "Liz, you've been arguing with Eric all day, have you ever thought of a possibility?"

"Huh?" Elizabeth snorted in confusion without looking back.

Julia laughs: "If you often watch movies or TV series, you will find that there is a kind of couple called 'happy enemies'. ”

Elizabeth's little thick head turned, and then she jumped up from the couch with a pout, stepping on the couch and waving her arms wildly: "No-but-can!" (to be continued......
