49. Travel
In the morning in the restaurant, Liu Xin drank milk and ate sandwiches. Leng Lie sat opposite him for breakfast, waited for him to finish the last bite of the omelette, put down the knife and fork, took a sip of coffee, and put the coffee cup back in its place.
"Xinxin, I'm going to go on a business trip for a few days next, you have a good rest at home, and I'll take you on a trip when I come back." Leng Lie said while arranging the cufflinks: "Do you have any special places you want to go, you can think about it in the next few days, and we will go for a walk together when the time comes." ”
Swallowing the milk in his mouth, Liu Xin put the empty cup on the table, "I want to go to Italy." ”
From the car accident to the present, in the three or four months before and after, the first half of the time stayed in the hospital for treatment, and the second half stayed at home to recuperate. Liu Xin has never been anywhere, not even on the street. One is that she has lost her memory, and her body has not fully recovered, so Leng Lie is not worried about her going out; The second is that she doesn't seem to have a place she particularly wants to go, so staying at home and doing the necessary rehabilitation training every day to take care of her body early is the most important thing.
Two days ago, Liu Xin flipped through "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" in the screening room, and He Liu also talked to Liu Xin about Italy for an afternoon, saying that it was one of the places she wanted to go to the most. Just listening to He Liu's enthusiastic and colorful description, Liu Xin also became curious and yearning for that beautiful country with a "Renaissance" history.
"Italy is a good place to stay, we can stay there for a few more days." Leng Lie had already stood up, picked up the suit jacket placed on the sofa and put it on, his slender and good-looking fingers buttoned the clothes, and smiled softly at Liu Xin, "You can also see if there are any other places you want to go, no matter where I am willing to accompany you." ”
For no reason, Liu Xin's hand holding the sandwich paused, and he put the sandwich back on the plate without eating, wiped his fingers with tissues one by one, his thoughts turned quickly in his mind, and finally put the tissues aside, looked up and said to Leng Lie: "I will make a travel strategy in the next few days and wait for you to come back." ”
It was enough to have this sentence, the corners of Leng Lie's mouth hooked up a smile, the smile reached the bottom of his eyes, he carried the bag in his hand, and nodded to Liu Xin, "Then I'll go." ”

In the next few days, He Liu helped Liu Xin do some travel strategies and circled a few places suitable for couples to play.
Leng Lie came back at night five days later, and when he got home, Liu Xin had not slept yet, and was pasting a diamond painting with He Liu in the living room, with colorful diamonds on the table, and the canvas was spread out, densely packed with small circles of different colors, outlining a lifelike "Mona Lisa's Smile".
Diamond painting can effectively exercise people's brains, and the process of making zuò can make people enter the realm of meditation and mind-nourishment. This also helped Liu Xin's recovery to a certain extent, and He Liu specially bought it for Liu Xin to pass the time.
At this time, Liu Xin was lowering his head, holding a point drill pen in his hand to patiently paste a yellow diamond into a small circle of the same color, after making sure that it had been pasted, Liu Xin put down the pen and raised his head, with a comfortable smile on his face, seeing Leng Lie standing at the table, asked: "Are you back, have you had dinner?" ”
Because he had an agreement with Liu Xin in advance to take her on a trip, Leng Lie has been working overtime for the past few days, shortening the seven-day itinerary to five days, and as soon as the last meeting ended, Leng Lie immediately asked Peter to book a ticket back to China, just to rush home to see Liu Xin as soon as possible.
Now seeing Liu Xin's happy and well-being appearance, Leng Lie's heart that has been worrying for several days has finally come to fruition, the nerves that have been tense have finally relaxed, fatigue and hunger suddenly swept in, he couldn't stand still, pulled over the chair next to him and sat down, pinched his eyebrows with his fingers, "I haven't eaten dinner yet." ”
Liu Xin subconsciously stood up, his worried eyes fell on Leng Lie, his eyes were all blue and black, his expression was tired, and he looked tired, just looking at him knew that he was very tired. An unspeakable feeling welled up in her heart, "Do you have anything you want to eat, I'll make it for you?" ”
This is Liu Xin's cordial and genuine and considerate concern for him, like a stormy wave, almost half of his submerged fatigue and hunger disappeared in an instant, Leng Li's spirit was shocked, and his expression was much more restored, "Just cook a bowl of noodles." ”
There can be more and better choices, but for no reason she just wants to eat a bowl of noodles cooked by her own hands, a simple bowl of noodles, that's all.
Liu Xin went to the kitchen to cook noodles, He Liu put away the diamond painting on the table and left, leaving the living room for Leng Lie and Liu Xin.
When Liu Xin came out with the boiled noodles, Leng Lie sat on the previous chair and never moved, his eyes half-closed, as if he was asleep.
Waiting for Liu Xin to walk over and put the noodles on the table, Leng Lie opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw the noodles on the table, a poached egg on it, sprinkled with green green onions, fragrant, "It looks delicious." ”
The noodles are made according to the method taught by Zhang's mother, and the taste should be okay, Liu Xin had tried it before, and when she heard Leng Li's praise, she just raised her eyebrows and handed him the chopsticks, "Eat it." ”
"Thank you."
Leng Lie took the chopsticks and began to bury his head in eating noodles, Liu Xin took a carton of milk and sat next to him and drank it in small sips.
I didn't have any special thoughts, I just felt that he came back so late, tired and hungry, and it was a little reluctant to let him eat noodles alone in the living room. But if he just sat on the side and didn't do anything, just watching him eat noodles looked very stupid, so Liu Xin took the milk out and drank it next to him, so as to resolve some embarrassment.
The etiquette of eating coldly is cultivated since childhood in the previous life, and every move is as standard as the model, even if it is eating noodles, it is elegant and easy to see.
He ate the noodles one bite at a time, and obviously he didn't feel like gobbling it up, but his movements were not slow, and he quickly finished eating a bowl of noodles.
After drinking the last mouthful of soup, Leng Lie put the bowl on the table, took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, and his refreshed face was written with satisfaction, "I have booked a ticket to Italy, and I can leave tomorrow." ”
It's really a walk-and-go trip.
It was already more than 2 o'clock in the morning when the plane arrived at Rome Airport, and Liu Xin and Leng Lie fell asleep on the plane, and they didn't feel very sleepy now.
The hotel accommodation was booked by Peter, and even the staff who came to pick up the airport were very well arranged.
There are many places of interest in Rome, such as the Pantheon, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain.
The Roman Trevi Fountain, also known as the Trevi Fountain of Happiness, is a symbol of strength in Rome's tourist attractions. It is said that in ancient times, Roman men would come to the Trevi Fountain and throw a silver coin and pray for their triumphant return. Later, the Romans had a beautiful legend that if someone turned his back to the fountain and threw a coin from his left shoulder into the water with his back to the fountain, he could grant his wish. One coin means that you will return to Rome in this life, two coins represent union with the person you love, and three coins will leave the person you hate.
When Liu Xin and Leng Lie arrived, there were many people standing in front of the wishing pool and throwing silver coins, watching a little girl next to them put silver coins into the wishing pool, Liu Xin was infected and stretched out his hand to Leng Lie, "It's a coin for me." ”
Leng Lie took out a coin from his pocket and put it in Liu Xin's palm, Liu Xin said "thank you" happily, turned around and ran to the front of the wishing fountain.
Looking at Liu Xin's cheerful figure, Leng Lie put his hand into his pocket again, took out two coins and held them in his hand......
Chasing Liu Xin in front of him, he walked over, watched Liu Xin try twice before throwing the silver coin into the water, and smiled slightly.
When she was about to leave, Liu Xin walked in front, Leng Lie was two steps behind, and at the moment when she didn't pay attention, she raised her right hand and raised it back from her left shoulder, and the two coins crossed a brilliant parabola in the sunlight, and fell steadily and impartially into the water of the Trevi Fountain.
Liu Xin, who seemed to be aware of it, turned his head and blinked, "What are you doing?" ”
Leng Lie only looked at her gently, and said quietly: "It's nothing, let's go." ”
Pedestrians walked a lot, Leng Lie carefully protected her by his side, so as she was bumped, walking and walking, he naturally held her hand unconsciously, just like before, held her slender little hand in his hand, and led her all the way.
Along the way, I don't know if Liu Xin was having too much fun, but she didn't notice that Leng Lie had been holding her hand, let alone thinking of getting rid of him like before, it seemed that her alienation and rejection of him were gradually dissolving, and she gradually accepted his existence and was willing to let him stay by her side.
Leng Lie couldn't help but slowly clench her hand even tighter, the corners of his mouth hooked a beautiful arc, and the smile became thicker and thicker.
After leaving Rome, the two men went to Naples, which had been the summer resort of the Roman emperors.
In the early morning, the church bells echoed outside the window, Leng Lie took Liu Xin's hand through the narrow and criss-crossed alleys, the colorful sheets and clothes dried by every house fluttered in the wind, one pizza shop after another, the aroma wafted in the air, they unconsciously walked to the square, there was a group of children playing football in the square, the ball rolled over, and landed in Leng Lie's footsteps.
The child shouted a few words at Leng Lie, Leng Lie smiled, raised his foot, and kicked the ball back with force, just one kick, and he also saw that the ball skills were good, and the ball drew a perfect arc in mid-air.
After receiving the ball, the children said "thank you" in Italian and happily kicked the ball and ran away.
The atmosphere was very good all the way, the two of them stopped and stopped, and it was already afternoon when they returned to the hotel. Stepping out of the elevator, Liu Xin walked in front, and Leng Lie was a step behind.
"I've arrived." Standing at the door of the room, Liu Xin swiped the door with the room card.
"Hmm."
Just as she was about to walk in, Leng Lie stopped her, Liu Xin turned around, and saw a pair of good-looking obsidian-like eyes staring at her deeply, making her heart skip a beat involuntarily.
"Can I go in and have a coffee?"
