Chapter 7: Missing the Smile
Today the sun is shining, Beixue has been waiting for me at the door downstairs, and when she saw me coming down, she said, "Drag, when are you going to drag it out?" ”
I saw that Beixue's expression was very serious, and I didn't dare to joke nonsense: "I'm sorry, I've never given her to a stranger since I returned from the cruise."
Beixue asked, "You doubt Vaughn? ”
I waved my hand and said, "I'm not suspicious of him, but I'm still a little worried." ”
Beixue frowned lightly and said, "The person I brought here doesn't have absolute faith in him, how could I bring him?" You can rest assured, I really don't understand, what are you worried about? ”
I reluctantly put aside the inexplicable worry in my heart and nodded, "Let's go." ”
Becky and I walked down the same path I had visited with Alice yesterday, still through the back door of the Louvre.
Beixue felt my sullen mood and strengthened her tone, "If you are still thinking about Alice, we can't complete the task today, what are you thinking?" ”
I don't know why I'm particularly uneasy today, and I was asked helplessly by Beixue: "Yesterday morning, Alice said that she was unwell and a little uncomfortable, so"
Beixue looked at the way I wanted to speak and stopped, and when she heard about it, she said nervously: "What? What did she tell you, what were you doing? ”
I didn't expect Beixue to ask so directly, I didn't dare to look her in the eye and said, "It's nothing." ”
Beixue hurriedly said, "Do you think you're going to be nervous about her?" Will I care less than you do? You have some things to hide from me, I know, since you don't want to tell me, I don't want to be nosy, but I still have the right to know about Alice herself, right? Say! ”
I had to say, "Yesterday I wanted to make out with Alice, but she said no, I asked her why, and she only said that she was a little uncomfortable, and she didn't tell me why." ”
After Beixue asked, her face was slightly red, as if she had thought of something, she stretched out her finger and pressed my forehead hard, and said angrily: "You little ghost, you don't understand anything, I know what's going on, don't worry, and I want to remind you that it's a hundred times safer to be by Vaughn's side than to be by your side, and he is much better than you in taking care of girls." ”
I asked, "Oh? Are you sure? ”
Beixue affirmed: "Of course, when I visited the Louvre with him yesterday, I didn't know how to take care of people. ”
I listened to Beixue's words of praising Vaughn, and my heart was a little sour, but after hearing her say this, I was really relieved, and asked, "Then you say, do you know what that's going on?" ”
Beixue scolded with a smile: "You stupid, I said she was fine, you don't have to ask." ”
Beixue quickened her pace and walked all the way, and I continued to catch up and asked, "What's the matter, you say?" ”
Beixue didn't explain it to me at first glance, she couldn't get rid of my entanglement, and said with a red face: "Girls, there will always be a few days of discomfort in a month, this is a normal phenomenon, when we go back, I will find you the girl's physiological information on the Internet, you will understand, you stupid!" ”
I reluctantly said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Beixue covered her ears and shouted, "Oh my God, you can let me go, don't ask!" ”
Since Beixue said that, my last sentence was completely joking, and I rarely saw Beixue's helpless and begging expression, and laughed: "Look we are almost at the main gate of the Louvre." ”
Knowing that I had been tricked, Beixue stomped her foot in anger and stepped on my foot like a mischievous, then laughed and ran away, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and we arrived at the main entrance, which was made of the largest building in the glass pyramid.
Many visitors also enter from the main entrance, some visitors point, some visitors also hold a map, some visitors are enjoying the fountains around the main entrance, according to the Louvre Museum every month to accept about 10,000 visitors to watch, so as long as it is open here, it must be very busy, visitors are blind, and the staff is busy.
As we enter the glass pyramid, we step on the staircase that extends down the steps and enter the central hall, where various signs and instructions about the history of the Louvre are prominently listed on the walls around us.
Bess was a little closer to me at this point, touching her shoulders as she walked, and I wondered if she was so close to Vaughn yesterday. Or closer than me.
After buying the ticket, Beixue came to the elevator that instructed the Guai Cultural Relics Museum, before we entered, many tourists stopped to watch the inverted hanging glass pyramid inside the hall, and even took a group photo, the upside-down glass pyramid spire is facing the spire of a scale scale upright model-like pyramid, the whole combination gives people a wonderful and indescribable natural beauty, this beauty is between the three-dimensional sense of the structure and the relative large and small, a combination of contradictions, I can't describe the feeling at that time, I just feel that such a hurried glance cannot appreciate the mystery, it is a kind of architectural art that needs to be savored.
Beixue stepped into the elevator, followed by me, followed by a number of tourists, blocking out the interior architecture and closing the elevator doors and going up.
As its name suggests, the Louvre's Ancient Egyptian Museum contains a large number of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including Egyptian scrolls, mummies, Egyptian statues, clay pots taken from the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, and precious Egyptian jewels in glass cases.
There was also a symbolic fence around the transparent glass cabinets containing important ancient Egyptian royal jewels, and Beixue said to me as she walked: "These glasses are made of tempered glass, which is bulletproof, waterproof and fireproof, and if the diamond is here, the difficulty can be imagined." ”
I said softly: "No matter what the problem is, there is a solution, it depends on whether we do it with our hearts." ”
Besher gave me a look of surprise, as if she didn't expect me to answer in a positive tone, and to her surprise, there was a sense of appreciation in her eyes.
We had already turned on the camera and bugging device that we carried on our bodies, and after confirming that the signal was good, Beixue and I also brought headsets, and of course Alice and Vaughn heard our conversation, and Vaughn said, "That's right, we have to have confidence, if it's not very difficult, why would someone want us to do this?" ”
Beixue and I could only listen, and of course we couldn't talk back like talking, so Beixue was surprised and said, "Look, how beautiful this crown is." ”
Alice's voice said, "It's beautiful, and I feel like a lazy person, so that as long as someone has a camera, I can see the world without going out." I understood what Beixue meant, and took the opportunity to approach the wall on the other side where a portrait of an Egyptian pharaoh was hung, and placed the small camera in a recess under the eye-catching lamp that was always reflected under the portrait.
Vaughn's voice immediately said, "It's okay." ”
Beixue said in a subtle voice: "It's nice to have a 360° view of the counter, no matter what angle you can see, you can take a closer look." ”
Of course, no one except me, Alice and Vaughn, who were far away, understood the meaning of this sentence.
Alice exclaimed, "This thing is amazing, and you can adjust the distance at will through the computer." ”
I secretly wondered in my heart, no wonder Lake must find Beixue to do this, this proves two things, one is that Lake is inferior to the government in terms of technology, and the other is that Lake is world-class in terms of information or consulting, otherwise how can he be sure that Beixue has the greatest success rate in doing this? Thinking about it, is this really the case, I don't know yet, and when I leave the museum, I should, this temporary idea to tell Bei Xue, she always complains that I don't care about her affairs, and don't use my brains.
When continuing to visit the Louvre Guai Museum, we painted the gourd in the same way, and also placed cameras in three other places, the Louvre is really carved beams and paintings, and even the hooks and walls of the crystal chandeliers in the palace are decorated with patterns and various patterns, which is not a problem.
The Louvre is so big that it would be tiring to see even the museum of the ancient Egypt antiquities, so while resting in a small uninhabited museum, Beixue and I sat on a bench placed in the middle of the road and told me what I had just thought.
The tourists came over, and after the tourists watched the Egyptian pottery here and walked away, Bei Xue said: "Your way of looking at the problem from the perspective of a third party is very good, you are right, I have not thought about what you said, this also shows that we are equal to them in the transaction, if we really get the diamond, as Lake said, we have the chips to trade the news, and this has become our advantage, we also have another advantage is that we are much more advanced than them in the equipment, Lake is so well informed that he must have come to France, and I would venture to assume that he may already know where we are, in other words we are all safe until we get the diamonds, and our difficulty is how to get the diamonds, how to get them out safely, and how to return the items to their rightful owners after the transaction. ”
Vaughn sent another message to comfort: "Let's do it step by step, and I'm sure there will be a way." ”
I never thought about how to return things to their original owners, maybe because I was just thinking about the problem from a personal point of view, and then I thought that Beixue has always been educated in orthodoxy, a real British agent, not a murderer, after all, we will part ways in the end, and maybe we will become enemies at any time in the future, thinking of this, I realized that I was really changed, no matter what it was, I don't trust people as easily as before, and I believe in Beixue, I used to believe in the master the most, but Beixue once said, It's already impossible for me to judge, and she's so good to me and Alice now, is it because I have a value to use? I broke out in a cold sweat at this thought that suddenly popped up for me, I don't know why I am so suspicious today, there seems to be a voice in my heart saying, you should be suspicious, do you believe those lies? Who do you really believe? Who should you trust?
Besher beside her said, "Mark, it's time for us to go." ”
I turned my head and looked her in the eye and said, "Okay." ”
Beixue was trembling at my gaze and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I saw the unquestionable sincerity in Beixue's eyes, and I pretended to be relaxed, "Oh, it's nothing, I'm a little hungry." ”
Beixue didn't doubt it, and said happily: "Not long after eating, you shouted that you were hungry, and it was not as good as my physical strength." ”
I laughed, stood up, and said, "Let's go ahead and see who has the better stamina." ”
Alice also helped Beixue to speak, "Mark, why are you hungry so quickly?" It's been less than two hours since I finished eating. ”
Vaughn teased, "I'm afraid I was too tired yesterday, right?" ”
I already understood what he meant, and deliberately said: "What does being tired today have to do with yesterday?" ”
Beixue walked forward and sighed, "Alas, man. ”
Vaughn burst out with hearty laughter, and Alice asked, "Big brother, what are you laughing at?" ”
Vaughn replied, "Nothing. ”
Alice asked, "Why don't I understand, so what do you mean by laughing?" ”
Vaughn said the same thing as Becky today, "Oh my God, it's really nothing, don't you ask?" ”
Alice didn't compromise and asked, "Why didn't you let me ask?" There has to be a reason, right? ”
Vaughn pleaded for help, "Who's going to save me, I'm going to collapse." ”
Beixue sneered and said, "I'll tell you when I get back." ”
Alice fell silent, and Vaughn sighed, "Alas, woman. ”
I listened to this conversation, and knew that Vaughn was hinting at me and Alice's physical exhaustion last night, but it was very small to say it, and I wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, because there were more and more tourists around, and I couldn't bear it so hard, my face was about to be deformed, and I couldn't help it, and I laughed violently, and suddenly pounced on me, and my lips were on my chest, and my whole body twitched because I wanted to laugh, and I tried my best to hold back my laughter, probably because I hadn't laughed for a long time, and I couldn't help it. Other tourists didn't know that they thought that our "couple" was moved by what art they saw, and they all cast their eyes on it, and my face expression may be extremely painful, and I reluctantly said: "She was so moved to see Egyptian art." ”
The most painful thing in the world is when you want to laugh, and you hold someone who is secretly laughing in your arms, but you can't laugh yourself!
After Beixue heard my words, she finally couldn't help it, and immediately took my hand and pulled my hand and laughed all the way and ran away, I was about to put on an embarrassed expression, but Beixue pulled me, I ran with her, laughing like two big children, silly laughing, ignoring the eyes attracted all the way, until laughing until gasping, we immediately found a bench and sat on it, covering our stomachs, and finally the laughter gradually disappeared, only the two hands were still pulled together.
Beixue complained: "It's all your fault, talking nonsense." ”
I innocently said, "I didn't say anything!" ”
Beixue pretended to be angry and said, "Hmph! Ignore you. ”
At this time, we both found that our hands had not yet been released, and I was embarrassed to take the lead in taking our hands away and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Beixue put her slender hand back on her lap and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, what are you sorry for?" ”
I bowed my head and said, "I thought you were angry." ”
Beixue explained: "Don't care, I'm not angry, I'm running all the way, where is this?" ”
I found that there was no sound in the communicator, and we had lost contact with the other side of the house, so I stood up and asked a tourist, who apparently came to the Louvre regularly, and he told us that this was already a gallery of paintings, and that the Mona Lisa was not far ahead, a few halls away, and that he had come several times to see the world-famous painting.
After I thanked her, Beixue smiled and said, "I didn't expect us to get here by accident, do you want to see that famous smile?" ”
Although I have only heard of this work of Leonardo da Vinci, even if people who don't understand art, most of them come here just to see the real work of Leonardo da Vinci, which can be seen its attraction and charm, I smiled and said: "I don't know much art, it seems that what is the use, let's continue our trip." ”
Beixue once again stretched out her soft and warm hand and asked, "I was a little out of strength when I laughed just now, can you pull me up?" ”
After I stretched out my hand to pull Beixue up, I generously let go of her hand again and said, "After laughing this time, maybe there will be few opportunities to laugh like this again in the future." ”
Beixue smiled slightly, "This laugh is a big loss." ”
I knew she was referring to the loss of contact, and said seriously, "We're halfway done, so let's just do it again." ”
Beixue nodded, "That's it." ”
Surprisingly luckily, contact was restored when we took the elevator from the gallery down to the central lobby of the Louvre.
A voice from Vaughn's side said, "What are you doing?" This camera and bugging device are sophisticated instruments, and they can't go through strenuous exercise, just now I only saw a bouncing picture and a harsh noise, you should be careful, fortunately it is connected again. ”
Alice said cautiously, "I only heard a burst of laughter, is that you?" ”
Of course, Bess and I couldn't answer her at this point, because a man in a security guard uniform was walking towards us.
Could it be that when we installed the camera, it was seen by their monitors? Or are we aware of something by them?
