75. Chapter 75

Barcelona in June lives up to its reputation as the "Flower of Europe", with the sun shining on the top of the Sagrada Familia's tower, a stone nightmare that reveals the wonders of nature.

Su Qingjia is about to perform solo at the graduation party, she has to compose and arrange music independently, this is the important moment to test her, three years of music education, she is looking forward to the day when she will play as a teacher, like everyone else. She began to prepare her repertoire when she was in Philadelphia, and she wrote a number of pieces during her time at Curtis, but they were all simple waltzes or soothing serenades, short in length, and the rhythms, although bright and smooth, were far from the standard of a performance. Even the experienced Louis could not help her much in terms of creative freedom, the source of inspiration is very peculiar, and everyone's emotions are long poems that cannot be reproduced.

Lilith is a delicate woman, she sued Su Qingjia, all of these qiē, she has to have some understanding, before it can become a song, she asked Su Qingjia to go out for a walk, go to the place she wants to go, and meet the people she wants to meet.

Su Qingjia decided to let herself rest for a while and accompany Carlos, who was far away in Europe. From the timeless solemnity of Rome to the romantic exuberance of Barcelona, her clogged thoughts seemed to be cleared up by the spurting inspiration, but these were still a little lacking, and she wanted to come to the Sagrada Familia to see Gaudí's creations.

Art is connected, and coming to Barcelona she has never visited the city's proudest building, and this is both a date with Carlos and a journey of her feelings.

The little golden retriever was very happy that he could make a small contribution to his girlfriend's music composition, so he volunteered to be a tour guide, he went many times, but they were all casually wandering, so he temporarily crammed, and the night before yesterday he also held the "Introduction to Spanish Attractions" and memorized it for a long time, just to be able to explain it carefully to her.

Parking the bike at the parking spot, Carlos locked it and took her hand as he walked. There weren't a lot of visitors today, they didn't stand in line and bought two tickets for a total of 39 euros, which allowed them to visit the whole Sagrada Familia.

The little golden retriever spoke very carefully, and the story here was told in a clear voice.

Walking into the hall, Su Qingjia was completely attracted by the scene here.

The Sagrada Familia, also known as the Cathedral of Atonement, is located in the center of Barcelona and has been under construction for 132 years, starting in 1884. This masterpiece with a strong natural color is the pinnacle of the Spanish school of plastic architecture. It was from such an almost impossible angle that the madman artist Gaudí spent his life with a subversion of architectural traditions.

This is Gaudí's lifelong masterpiece, unique beyond imagination, "the straight line belongs to man, and the curve belongs to God", where every stone, every piece of glass, is quietly narrating its past and present life.

"Now the tallest tower here is 170 meters high, representing Jesus Christ, the middle one, and it will be surrounded by four large towers representing the Evangelists, a total of 18 towers." They walked through the forest-like stone carvings and walked into the "Nativity Facade" on the east side, which depicts the nativity of Christ, and whenever the sun rises, the endless miracle always guides the frustrated in the direction, Carlos stands in the doorway and points to the opposite side, "There is a more beautiful 'Glory Facade' over there, but it hasn't been repaired yet, Bella, do you know how many years it will take to complete this place?" ”

The portrait sculpture on the door is lifelike, the intricate and ornate details are depicted in amazement, the boy's golden hair is dyed with colorful mosaic decorations, and the sunlight shines through the stained-glass windows to paint a variety of strange patterns, reflecting his handsome face like the legendary Apollo.

Su Qingjia accidentally committed another nymphomaniac, she pretended to be a turtle watching the door, and said, "I don't know." ”

Carlos pulled her into the tower, and the rhythmic lines and translucent colors presented to them a shocking gift, "According to the latest estimates, this place will be fully built in 2050, but there is also a theory that this place will never be completed." ”

From the distant 19th century to the 21st century, the second largest church in the world has witnessed the change of dynasties and the development of industry, and it has been repaired by generations of Catalan people, and has not stopped, Su Qingjia looked up at the fresco depicting the birth of Christ, and said, "When do you think it will be completed?" ”

Carlos obviously didn't expect her to ask, the girl's side face was dreamlike in the light painted shadow, he rubbed the soft wattle in his hand, and said, "I hope it will never be completed." ”

"Why?" Su Qingjia asked him sideways.

The huge stone pillar supported by the turtle supported the splendid dome, Carlos stared into her eyes, and slowly spoke: "Because if you can't finish the repair, the Sagrada Familia will become different every year, and every time you come, I can explain something new to you, and I can talk about it for a long, long time." ”

His eyes were as clear as blue stained glass, and the sunlight could directly reflect his inner world very clearly, this young man's heart was incredibly soft, Su Qingjia shook his head and said, "But I hope it can be completed as scheduled." Pointing to the sky with a few white clouds floating outside, "When it's finished, let's go to the first service together, I guess it's going to be very grand." If you pray on the day it is built, God may see the face of the ceremony and make all your wishes come true, don't you say? ”

Carlos bent down against her forehead, his dimples deep and warm, "Okay, but I have a lot of wishes, what if God can't fulfill them?" ”

"Then you tell me about it, and I'll show it to you?" Su Qingjia leaned up and kissed his chin, the little golden retriever shaved his chin very clean every day, and it didn't sting at all.

The little golden retriever rubbed her arrogantly and attachmentfully, and said, "But you didn't promise me when I said it, so I won't say it." ”

Su Qingjia was completely amused by him, his blue-gray eyes were pitiful and full of anticipation, and he couldn't help biting his lip and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, let's go to the top of the tower to have a look." ”

Carlos licked his lips with a snort, and after a short period of aftertaste, he willingly pulled Su Qingjia away. The bell tower of the church allows you to climb to the top and overlook the whole of Barcelona from a height of more than 70 meters, and the solidified beauty of the artistic architecture is vividly expressed.

When they arrived at the elevator to the top, the tourists who came to play had already lined up in a long line, Su Qingjia looked at it for a long time and didn't see his head, so he leaned on Carlos and said, "Forget it, I guess I can't wait, it's almost four o'clock now." ”

Carlos smoothed her long loose hair, a silky touch running between his fingers, he looked at the team that hadn't moved much, and comforted her, "It's okay, follow me, I have a way." ”

"What can you do?" Su Qingjia was puzzled.

Carlos points to the spiral staircase, a stone staircase that winds its way up the Clock Tower, a staircase that has existed since its early construction, and which worshippers climb reverently, but which is a great test for visitors. In peak season, you can't go down the stairs, but when there are few people, you can choose freely.

The nearly seventy-meter-tall building towered in the stone city, with carved salamanders and lizards dancing with teeth and claws on the outside, Su Qingjia looked up at the serious little golden retriever and said, "Are you sure, you're not teasing me?" ”

The little golden retriever scratched her head, squatted in front of her with a smile, and said, "I'll carry you up." ”

Su Qingjia was a little stunned, the young man's back was very broad, the curvature of the spine groove under the white T-shirt was slightly concave, the golden hair was flushed with diamonds by the faint light that flowed down, and the fine dust flew in the air, inlaid him with a layer of gold edges, he squatted there so naturally, the spiral staircase behind him was very long, the bell tower was very high, he was lined very small, but he looked very tall.

"Bella, come here." Seeing that she was slow to move, Carlos turned his face and shouted at her, his blue-gray eyes full of her figure.

Su Qingjia took the roses and walked slowly, she walked a little slowly, in the overlap of light and shadow, Carlos suddenly felt that she was walking towards him on a red carpet covered with flowers, holding a blessed wedding bouquet in her hand, and the priest witnessed their love in the church.

"I'd better go by myself, and when I can't walk anymore, you can carry me again." She walked up behind him, hesitating to get up.

Carlos raised his head and tugged at the corner of her clothes, and said, "It's okay, my body is very full, I have to run for a long time on the court every day, and climbing down the stairs will not bother me." Bella, give me a chance to watch Xiàn. ”

When he said this, his ears were a little red, Su Qingjia gently wrapped her hands around his neck, and the pink ribbon with roses dangled in front of him, she put her body on it, and said, "If you are tired, you must say it honestly, you can't be reckless, you know?" ”

The moment she put her hand up, Carlos's heart was about to jump out, his pulse was at a peak, and he replied yes, he put his hand around the crook of her leg, did not dare to touch her buttocks, and stood up slightly bent over.

The door of the tower was carved with words in Hebrew and Spanish, and Su Qingjia didn't recognize it except for the word "Jesus".

Stepping on the stone stairs, her straight and white calves swayed as he walked, slender like the branches of spring flowers, trembling to reveal a little delicate beauty, the full softness of her chest rubbed against his back from time to time through the fabric, he tried to ignore the beautiful touch, let himself watch the road seriously, but the fragrance of her body accompanied by the smell of roses and jasmine kept getting into his nose, making his heart sway.

The thousands of steps of staircase showed no fatigue, and he even expected the tower to be a little higher.

Su Qingjia saw beads of sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe him and said, "Aren't you tired, let me down." Halfway through the walk, she felt very sorry for him, and she knew that the boy would be the most stubborn.

Carlos was restraining his thoughts, and when the girl said this, he said a little weakly: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I'll be here soon." ”

"I said I wasn't tired, No, I was sweating so much." Su Qingjia showed him the tissue, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up, let me down." ”

Seeing that she kept writhing and trying to get off his back, Carlos grabbed her in a little panic, but didn't want to touch her round buttocks directly.

Now both of them are honest, the little golden retriever is even red at the tips of his ears, the heat on his body is even worse, and the beads of sweat are rolling on his forehead.

Su Qingjia blushed with shame, silently took out another tissue to wipe his sweat, and never mentioned it again.

After another step, Carlos recovered from his stiffness, and he swung his hand back to the crook of her leg, burying his head in his head.

"Carlos, eh, don't stop talking, let's talk, well, just tell me what you're thinking right now." Seeing that he was silent, Su Qingjia put his face on his shoulder, and counted his eyelashes boredly.

Somewhat uncomfortable with her gaze, Carlos finally looked up and leaned over and admitted, "I wonder if this road can be a little longer." ”

"You'll be tired, then." Su Qingjia misremembered the number for a while, and began to count again.

The staircase came to an end at the next corner, and the daylight at the top of the tower was bright, and Carlos stopped in front of the stained glass, "This is the first time I've carried you, I hope it can be a little longer." ”
