Chapter 173: Skate Park
Birmingham's Newstreet train station is one of Birmingham's liveliest shopping areas, the most famous of which is the Bullring Shopping Centre, which was refurbished over a billion pounds ago more than a decade ago.
On the basis of retaining the famous landmark of St. Martin's Church in the center, the new bullring shopping center has successfully transformed a very old shopping mall into a modern and unique style urban shopping center, which greatly enhances the commercial function of the city center, and improves the overall transportation system of the city center, making the city center smoother and opener, the flow of people can flow more freely, and the whole city has a better connection. Commercial, retail, leisure and entertainment success stories.
This is also no way, most of Birmingham's Victorian buildings were destroyed in the bombing of World War II, and now almost the entire city has been rebuilt in ruins later, mainly in the Victorian style of two-storey buildings, such as St. Martin's Church can survive to preserve as much as possible.
However, Chen Peng didn't have much interest in this historical monument on this trip, and after parking the car, he took Pan Luyao into the bullring shopping center and went directly to the most famous Selfridge department store inside.
Today is not a holiday, and it is the lightest working time in the morning, so there are not many people in the mall, and there are a few people scattered as far as the eye can see.
"I've been busy before, and I didn't have time to accompany you here, but today I handed over more than 100 catties to you, so I ran with you, and I will go wherever you say, never a word." Seeing the location, Chen Peng made a promise very arrogantly.
"That's what you said~~" Pan Luyao looked at him with a smile, her eyes bent into an arc like a moon ring. It's like a little fox who has stolen a chicken.
"Of course." As he spoke, Chen Peng suddenly looked at her face fixedly for a while, with a somewhat strange expression.
Pan Luyao subconsciously touched her face: "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Chen Peng shook his head, and then pointed to the women's clothing store in front of him that looked very well decorated, "Let's go there first." ”
Faced with Chen Peng's obvious change of topic, Pan Luyao, who has always been gentle and quiet, did not ask much as before. Although he was puzzled, he nodded obediently, and walked into the women's clothing store in front of him with Chen Peng.
While walking, Chen Peng secretly wondered how Pan Luyao's smile just now was like Zhang Danmiao's Nizi printed in the same mold, could this smile still be contagious?
Of course, he didn't know how much psychological pressure Pan Luyao would have in the face of Zhang Danmiao's supposed general move in, or just a vague feeling, the specific details were not clear, and Pan Luyao never said anything about this kind of thing, so Chen Peng only had some vague speculation many times. In addition, after the New Year's vacation, he has no shortage of various jobs, so he is negligent.
And although Pan Luyao didn't say it, she still paid attention to Zhang Danmiao's every move in her heart, and after a long time of observation and getting along, it was not difficult to imagine that she subconsciously imitated Zhang Danmiao's iconic smile.
"Welcome."
When Chen Peng and Pan Luyao walked into the store, they had already noticed that their waitress immediately greeted them.
"Sir, will you help your girlfriend choose clothes?" The eyes of this waiter are very poisonous, and it is immediately confirmed which of the two is dominant.
"Yes." Chen Peng nodded yes. Then he glanced at the hangers in the store, "Tell us about the latest and best women's clothing in your store." ”
Talking and talking. Chen Peng remembered that he had just said that he wanted Pan Luyao to take the lead, and then said apologetically to his female companion: "I'm sorry, Yaoyao, I just forgot about it, so let's do it all of you." ”
"It's fine." Pan Luyao shook her head gently, showing that she didn't care.
During the exchange of the two. The waitress waited on the side with a lot of color, and it was not until the two finished speaking that she began to introduce to the two very politely: "Please look here, the latest seasonal clothes in our store are all there, designed by the famous fashion designer Master Raphael, and each one is hand-sewn." The fabric used is absolutely environmentally friendly and does not hurt the skin......"
The two followed the waitress to a conspicuous shop window, listening to the introduction while looking at the clothes in front of them.
The first one introduced by the waitress is a set of black and white spliced hip-covering long jackets, the upper half is plain black, the lower half of the hem and cuffs are pure white, and the black knit sweater and light-colored tunic trousers inside, which look concave and convex on the wooden model, and the visual effect is very good.
Pan Luyao took a fancy to it at a glance, and then followed the waitress to the fitting room.
It didn't take long for her to walk out in that outfit.
The plain black coat fits the body, and while reflecting the graceful curves, it also sets off the skin that was bred in the northern wind and snow to be more snow-white and soft, and the black bust in the thin silk shirt looms inside, which is very charming.
And a pair of plain trousers on the lower body makes her legs look slender and slender, and the finishing touch interacts with the jacket on the upper body, which raises this temptation to the extreme.
"Is it pretty?" Wearing the high-heeled shoes she had just changed, Pan Luyao stepped on the catwalk on the catwalk and swayed in front of Chen Peng, turned around, and showed him her whole body.
"It's beautiful, it's perfect for you." Chen Peng applauded and praised without hesitation.
"Sir, your girlfriend is really beautiful in this outfit, so beautiful." The waitress also responded to Chen Peng in a very timely manner.
"Well, yes, this set will be wrapped up first." Chen Peng directly asked the waiter to wrap up the clothes, which suddenly made the smile on the waiter's face deeper.
After that, Pan Luyao even changed into a new set of fashion and showed it to Chen Peng after a while, as if she was holding a fashion show for him that only one person appreciated, and Chen Peng bought it directly as long as both of them felt good, without ambiguity at all, so that the female customers who came to the store during the period were all hot-eyed, and they wished that the male companion around them could be so generous.
After buying more than a dozen sets of suits, Pan Luyao shook her head, meaning that she had seen enough in this store, so Chen Peng directly took out her credit card and asked the waiter to settle the bill.
The waiter immediately walked over quickly and looked at Chen Peng with a smile: "Hello." Sir, it's sixty-five thousand pounds in total, and we're discounting it by eighty, which is exactly fifty-two thousand pounds. ”
Several female customers next to them immediately widened their eyes when they heard this number, especially the one who looked like a tourist shook her hands, and almost thought that the thin thing in her hand was not clothing but gold.
"Hmm. Not very expensive. ”
To their surprise, Chen Peng just said very carelessly, picked up the slip handed over by the waiter and signed it casually, and then walked out of the women's clothing store with a large bag and Pan Luyao under the gift of the waiter.
"I dare to guarantee that some of those people will definitely say that we are local tyrants from China, especially those who are domestic, if you don't know it, they will say that I am a coal boss, and you are my ** junior." Out of the women's clothing store, Chen Peng joked.
"Then they're half right." Pan Luyao glanced at him lightly. Then he continued as if he hadn't said anything.
"Ugh." Chen Peng was slightly stunned, then understood what she meant, and wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it for a while, so he could only shake his head speechlessly and follow her.
However, Pan Luyao quickly pursed her lips and smiled at him apologetically, and took the initiative to hook his arm, which was regarded as revealing this scene.
In this regard, Chen Peng knew that this smiling girl was taking the opportunity to vent some dissatisfaction. But apparently this is already the limit of what she can do with her gentle personality, which makes him feel a little grateful and a little guilty. You must know that he and Pan Luyao came together by various coincidences, and the various emotions mixed in it are quite complicated, but these are all things that the two of them can know but can't declare, so they have a tacit understanding not to mention it.
The two spent the morning browsing various shops, until they couldn't hold them with four hands, they returned to the parking lot to put their purchases in the car, and then found a hotel that served Caribbean food and had a hearty meal. I'm going to change places to continue today's activities.
"Where are you going in the afternoon?" Do you want to go to the movies? Or is it somewhere else? By the way, I heard that the jewelry corner in the northwest is very good, and it is just right to choose some jewelry for you. Sitting in the driver's seat, while starting the car, Chen Peng proposed casually.
"Hmm...... You said you lived here for a long time as a child. Where did you like to go at that time? After thinking about it, Pan Luyao suddenly asked.
"When I was a child...... Yes, yes, do you want to go? ”
"Well, I'm like looking at the places you liked to go back then." Pan Luyao nodded.
"Okay, let's go there." Chen Peng smiled happily and stepped on the accelerator, "Then let's go!" ”
The Mercedes-Benz C63 slipped out of the parking lot and sped along the city road.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in an open-air parking lot in the suburbs, Chen Peng got out of the car and looked around for a while, and then decided to take Pan Luyao forward, and soon came to a building area that looked like some kind of amusement park not far from the parking lot.
"Seongdong Skatepark?" Looking at the eye-catching sign in front of the door, Pan Luyao looked at Chen Peng with some curiosity, it seemed that it was hard to imagine that people like him liked to come to this kind of place when they were children.
"Well, it's unexpected, you know, I was very good at skateboarding at that time, but I didn't have much chance to play it after I returned to China." Chen Peng was very emotional, as if he saw the reappearance of the phantom like yesterday, "In fact, I was taught by Vanessa to play skateboarding, and she brought me here here, and she was applauded when she played, the skateboarding level is one of the best in this park, and she bets on other boys every day, and I remember that she also had the nickname of a skateboarding princess at that time." ”
If she hadn't seen that Chen Peng was telling the truth, Pan Luyao would have thought he was joking, the usually mature, beautiful and steady Vanessa also had such a period of secondary two, and then she felt a little sour in her heart, and couldn't help but get closer to Chen Peng.
The two bought tickets and entered the skatepark and walked around at will. As an extreme sports venue, the facilities at the East of the City Skate Park are not very prominent, at least compared to London's South Bank Park, but the East of the City Skate Park has its own advantages.
Birmingham's biggest feature is that there are more rivers than Venice, and the East of the City Skatepark is no exception, with several tranquil rivers cutting the park into separate sections, and extreme sports venues are divided on each riverbank.
While walking, Chen Peng introduced some venues and interesting things that had happened in the past to Pan Luyao, and after walking for a while, he simply rented a boat and flowed along the river in the park, watching the changes of light and shadow, feeling the flow of time, and then pointing out to those boys and girls who showed themselves through extreme sports from time to time, which was very pleasant.
It wasn't until the setting sun that the two of them disembarked from the boat. Chen Peng saw that there were a lot fewer young people playing skateboarding, and after watching various skateboarding performances in the afternoon, his heart was also a little itchy, so he proposed to play skateboarding for a while, but Pan Luyao was a little reluctant for fear that he would be injured, but he reluctantly agreed after he repeatedly assured that there was absolutely no problem with safety.
went to the equipment store in the park to choose a skateboard and a full set of protective gear, Chen Peng was full of interest and armed with the help of Pan Luyao, and suddenly changed from a successful person to an athlete.
"Okay, let's go to the skatepark to get used to it, and then we'll go to the halfpipe area......"
Chen Peng said with great interest, stepping on the skateboard from time to time to find a feeling, while Pan Luyao, who was also fully armed, looked at Chen Peng, who seemed to be a teenager younger, with a pair of inline roller skates, and chuckled silently for some of his interesting actions from time to time.
When passing by a small pulley field, the two saw a pair of white young men and women standing together, as if they were arguing about something, but this kind of thing is common here, young people are vigorous and no one is convinced, it is normal to have a little blowjob, the two have seen it a few times before, so they didn't care, and continued to go to the inner venue.
Just a few steps after the two walked away, they found that the quarrel was rapidly approaching, and the sound became clear and audible, and the female voice inside seemed to be somewhat familiar, so they stopped and turned their heads to watch, and saw the female of the pair of men and women striding in front, while the man followed behind and kept explaining, and then Chen Peng saw the face of the woman in front of him clearly.
"Hey, why is she here?"
Just when Chen Peng's doubts first rose, the woman also noticed Chen Peng in front of her, and a trace of doubt immediately appeared on her beautiful face, and it turned sudden in a moment.
"Leon, what a coincidence, I met you here." (To be continued.) )
