Chapter 41: The Streets of Paris in the Early Morning
Gu Xiluo's voice fell, An Jing turned her head sideways to look at him, her eyes were not without surprise, Gu Xiluo suddenly felt that she was impulsive just now, and said something that should not have been said. However, the expression on his face was the same, and he just added calmly, "You are not only a friend of Ye Lin, but also me." β
Hearing this, An Jing finally showed a smile, and she replied loudly, "Thank you." β
Gu Xiluo also smiled and said, "Will you be so polite with Ye Lin?"
An Jingmei's eyes rolled slightly, and she replied jokingly, "I have always been very polite." β
Gu Xiluo suddenly had a serious expression and nodded, "Ordinary people who know how to be polite will not have too bad luck, so your trip to Paris must be very smooth." β
An Jing hooked the corners of her lips and said with a light smile, "Isn't it a girl who loves to laugh, isn't her luck too bad, how can she become a polite person when she comes to you?"
Gu Xiluo replied with a serious expression, "Be flexible, I once told him that a person who stuttered a little bit was the most suitable person to work hard to overcome his lawyer's exam, and those who had a little problem were generally not too bad luck." β
An Jing couldn't help but raise his eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "It's really fake."
Gu Xiluo immediately glanced at An Jing, and said with a disdainful expression, "Of course it's fake, you believe it, women really have no brains." β
After that, before An Jing could refute it, Gu Xiluo had already turned his head arrogantly and looked away, not giving her the slightest chance to fight back. An Jing was the only one left, staring at Gu Xiluo's side face, crying and laughing.
The plane did not stay at Lyon Airport for a long time, and soon Gu Xiluo and An Jing returned to the plane, and then more than an hour later, they landed directly at Paris International Airport.
In France, like in China, it is winter, but the temperature in Paris is far above the city, and the coldest is around zero. The outside temperature is now minus three degrees Celsius.
An Jing got off the plane with Gu Xiluo, and saw that all the French people around him took off their coats and only wore single clothes inside, and some even wore short sleeves, and the French flight attendants at those airports went into battle in short skirts, wearing only a thin pair of flesh-colored stockings underneath.
An Jing didn't feel hot in a down jacket, but looking at their thighs, they were all cold and panicked.
Gu Xiluo only carried a hers-shaped handbag with him, and An Jing carried the bag in one hand and a small suitcase in the other. The two went to the place where they picked up their luggage together and helped An Jing get a large box of clothes.
After the things were taken, Gu Xiluo helped her carry the big box, and the two went out to the airport together. You can take a taxi not far from the door, Gu Xiluo said to An Jing, "Okay, from now on, it's time for you to become proficient in French." β
An Jing took a deep breath and said loudly, "Go"
The two walked to the front of a taxi, An Jing bent down, looked at the French driver inside, and asked in the French taught to her by Gu Xiluo, "I want to go to the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es, the Grand Palais in Paris." β
The driver is a French uncle of the year, chubby, bearded, and somewhat cute. Hearing An Jing's words, he quickly nodded and said yes, and then got out of the car to help them open the trunk and put away their luggage.
An Jing and Gu Xiluo both sat in the back seat, and after getting into the car, the driver's uncle in the front seat turned on the chat mode, and he said in French, "You speak French very well, are you international students studying in France?"
An Jing can only understand the first half of the sentence, and she has not studied and cannot understand the international students in the back. In a hurry, she subconsciously turned her head sideways and looked at Gu Xiluo with a pleading gaze.
The corners of Gu Xiluo's lips were slightly hooked, and he replied with a light smile, only to hear his words fall, and the driver uncle in the front seat said a long list of words very enthusiastically and happily.
With An Jing's half-French level, she was really powerless, so she could only look sideways at Gu Xiluo and ask, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Xiluo opened his mouth and replied, "The driver said that your French is very standard, are you a student who came to study in France, I said that you are studying fashion design, and you came to France to watch the show this time." The driver said that you are great, and you will definitely become a very good designer in the future, and said that he will ask you to sign for him in a while, and when you become famous, he will also show off to others, once you have been in his car. β
Foreigners are always so enthusiastic, and their affection is also easy to influence a person, they never hesitate to praise and encourage strangers, this is the first time An Jing came to Paris, the fat driver uncle is also the first person to let her speak French, and the response he gives makes her heart warm.
An Jing turned his head sideways and smiled at Gu Xiluo, "You help me tell my uncle that I will sign for him, and I will definitely work hard to succeed in the future, so that he can show off to others." β
There were no lights in the car, but the street lights on the side of the road shone in, and Gu Xiluo saw the expression on An Jing's face, kind, gentle, confident, and happy. A good-looking smile slowly crept up on his face, and he turned his head to translate An Jing's words to the driver.
Along the way, the sound of conversation in the car continued, and Gu Xiluo became a bridge of communication between the driver and An Jing. After nearly an hour's drive, it seemed like a blink of an eye, and the driver parked the car at the intersection of the Champs-ElysΓ©es, and the magnificent Grand Palais of Paris could be seen not far away.
Gu Xiluo moved faster than An Jing, he gave the money first, and An Jing didn't fight with him, but said, "I'll give it to you when I go back." β
Gu Xiluo had a helpless look in his eyes, and the three of them got out of the car. The driver took out An Jing's luggage from the trunk, An Jing thanked him, and handed over a powder blue cardboard with the signature he had just written on the car, and the English abbreviation AJ of An Jing's name was in the corner.
The driver was very happy when he took the jammed paper, laughing and saying something, he spoke quickly, and An Jing had to look at Gu Xiluo.
Gu Xiluo said with a smile, "He said that when he looked at your signature, he knew that you were going to be on fire in the future." β
Hearing this, a big smile bloomed on An Jing's beautiful face, and she politely nodded to the uncle in front of her in thanks. The uncle opened his arms, and An Jing also hugged a foreigner for the first time in his life.
After talking for a while, the two sides said goodbye. The driver drove away, leaving An Jing and Gu Xiluo standing on the streets of Paris at five o'clock in the morning.
It was still completely dark, except for the warm yellow glow of the streetlights on both sides of the street. Gu Xiluo said to An Jing, "Let's go, there is the hotel in front." β
An Jing glanced sideways, dozens of meters in front of her, there was a luxury hotel with thirty or forty floors high, she couldn't understand the name of the law on it, but she could also see the star rating and price of the hotel.
Shaking his head, An Jing smiled and said, "Classmate Gu, thank you for accompanying me all the way, I have searched for nearby accommodations before I came, I can't afford to live in this hotel, I'll go to a more affordable hotel." β
Gu Xiluo's eyes were slightly picked, and he asked tentatively, "Friend Hotel"
An Jing smiled and nodded, Gu Xiluo looked suddenly enlightened and speechless, no wonder An Jing specially asked him how to speak French in his friend's hotel before.
"What kind of place is that?"
"I checked it up, and said that it was here on the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es, I have an address, it should not be far, and I said that it was still opened by a Chinese family."
As he spoke, An Jing took out a notepad from his bag, and on the last page of the notebook, the specific address of the hotel was indeed recorded.
Gu Xiluo said, "Then why didn't you say that you would let the driver send us over directly in the car just now?"
An Jing replied loudly, "I thought you were going to live here, of course I sent you first, I'm not in a hurry, it shouldn't be far to find it by myself." β
Gu Xiluo was speechless, he didn't know what An Jing's mind was thinking, did she really think that he came to France to avoid chasing and killing, and second, to travel
After a short silence, Gu Xiluo said, "Let's go, let's find this hotel first." β
An Jing said, "Don't bother you"
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Gu Xiluo's look, Gu Xiluo glanced at him and said, "It's so late, you're a girl in a strange country, I'll let you go to the hotel alone."
An Jing pursed her lips, Xu was consciously guilty, she whispered, "I owe you so much favor, I don't know how to pay it back." β
Gu Xiluo replied expressionlessly, "After returning to Xiangcheng, take the cake." β
With that, he dragged her suitcase and walked straight forward. An Jing looked at his tall back, pouted, and then hurriedly followed.
On the streets of Paris at five o'clock in the morning, there were only Gu Xiluo and An Jing, and the street lamps dragged their figures. They only had the address that An Jing had copied from above, Gu Xiluo looked for it all the way according to the road number, maybe ten minutes later, white snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, because the snow was not heavy, and many of them had disappeared before they fell to the ground. An Jing only saw many small dots floating in the sky by the light of the street lamp.
She grinned and said, "It's snowing."
Gu Xiluo also saw it, and after a few seconds, he said calmly, "Northerners, it's not like you haven't seen snow in China." β
An Jing's eyes widened slightly, and he replied loudly, "Can it be the same This is snow abroad, the first time I saw snow in Paris?"
The corners of Gu Xiluo's lips were slightly hooked, and he said in a low voice, "Typical admiration for foreign countries, do you think that foreign moons are rounder than domestic ones?"
An Jing cut off disapprovingly, and said self-deprecatingly, "You can laugh at me, a country boy who has never been abroad, anyway, I'm happy." β
When Gu Xiluo heard this, the smile on his face became bigger, and he looked at her sideways, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "Yo, now I have learned to use self-deprecation to retreat into advance."
An Jing said, "Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Linlin said that you are the most powerful person in China in the past ten years, I have been around you for these days, if you don't get some aura on your body, I am embarrassed to say that it is your friend." β
When Gu Xiluo heard An Jing say this, he smiled and said, "At this moment, I suddenly feel a sense of accomplishment. β
