Chapter 852: A Tour Guide (Part II)

(a)

After Nice, Zhou and I also went to Marseille and Paris. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info between these cities in Europe, the distance is very close, since it has flown all the way over, you might as well visit a few more places.

Paris in the tourist season is in a big traffic jam. We came down halfway through the streets of Paris 600 years ago and took a walking tour.

We have come a long way in Paris.

During the day we walk along the Seine to see old photographs and sketches sold by veterans, then pass by Pierre Cardin's home and the top floor where Alain Delon lives, and see white curtains and flowers on the terrace.

We walked around the place where antique furniture was sold for a long time. I feel more comfortable with things from the past.

On the small bridge next to Notre Dame Cathedral, there was a gust of wind. We stand in the wind and look at the streets of the city, the streets that have not changed for hundreds of years, and the people of the past have passed away.

Zhou asked: "Do you like Paris?" ”

I said, "Yes." Very much. ”

Zhou said: "My wife likes it too. ”

Zhou said: "Women seem to like it. But why? ”

I said, "There's a lot of love in the air here. It's full of the smell of centuries of love. A lot of dead love. A lot of undying love. ”

Twilight shines on us.

Zhou said, "You wait for me here." ”

Then he disappeared into the caravan of children who had come to visit Notre-Dame.

After a while, I saw him running back with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

He said, "Miss Idealism, for you." ”

I said, "Why?" ”

"I suddenly wanted to send flowers to my wife," he said. But she's not here, because I don't have any money, so I can't bring her here often. ”

He said, "The one you love, he's not here either, because he doesn't have a life, so he can't do it for you." ”

He said, "So, now let's be flexible." I'll send you flowers in his place. You will accept this bouquet of flowers in my wife's place. ”

He said, "This is not a flower I gave you. ”

"It's a flower that all the men in the world give to all the women," he said. This is a flower that one person gives to another person who is walking in the same world. ”

He said: "Fate cannot be changed, but human beings always have a way to work. ”

"As long as we live, we can think of happiness and contentment," he said. ”

I smiled and accepted his bouquet of flowers.

That night we walked all the way from where we were staying to the Arc de Triomphe.

During the two-and-a-half-hour round trip, we talked about love and death all the time.

The next day, we decided to return to Hong Kong from Paris. Before leaving, Zhou asked me if I wanted to buy something. I shook my head to say I didn't need it.

Zhou said: "If you want to buy something, I will accompany you to buy it." If you don't want to buy something, then go buy it with me. ”

I laughed a little and followed him to the Spring Department Store.

Entering the doors of Spring Department Store feels like returning to China, filled with bold Chinese buyers, each of whom does not hesitate to spend a lot of money, as if everything in it doesn't cost money.

Zhou paced back and forth in front of a Dior skirt. He hesitated between the six colors.

He said, "Give me some advice and bring a gift for my wife." As a woman, which color do you think is more flattering to your skin tone? ”

I chose one for him. I helped him try it on in front of the mirror and showed him the results.

He watched as the skirt was carefully wrapped.

"Be flexible," he said. ”

"Be flexible," he said. ”

"I don't have the money to bring her every time," he said, "so I bring her a gift every time." ”

"I told her that we can't go to Paris to breathe the air there, but we can bring it home to you," he said. ”

He said, "Would you like to see my wife?" ”

I said, "You've shown me your wedding photos." ”

He said: "It's not a photo, it's my wife herself, do you want to know her?" ”

He said, "Come back to Macau with me." Take a speedboat from Hong Kong to Macau, and then you go back from Macau. ”

He said, "The two of us can send you like relatives." You can also try my wife's handiwork. Then, I can accompany you to gamble. The kind of small gambling pleasure. ”

At the pier in Macau, Zhou and I got off the speedboat and met Zhou's wife waiting at the pier.

I didn't expect her to look so much younger than in the photos.

She was wearing a long black skirt and carrying a girly backpack and stood on the dock waiting for Zhou.

They immediately hugged each other.

They kissed in public, as if no one was around.

They stood in the crowd of people on the pier, kissing like glue and kissing tightly.

I am reminded of the lavender fields of Beausan.

At that time, we were like this, between heaven and earth, forgetting everything, kissing affectionately?

Such a kiss, in this life and in this life, will not have it again.

I would never do this with anyone else again.

Never.

I was invited to have dinner at Zhou's house and drank the Cantonese soup made by his wife.

Zhou said that his wife was Korean, and it was only after marrying him that he learned to speak Cantonese and learn to make soup. She also learned to play mahjong because she did spend a lot of time alone at home.

Zhou said that in fact, his wife herself does not like to eat Cantonese food at all, let alone drink this kind of soup, but when Zhou is not at home, she often cooks Cantonese food and practices making soup.

Zhou grabbed the new dress his wife was wearing and asked her to tell me why.

The Korean woman said to me, "Because Zhou is not at home, I can only like the taste he likes." ”

365 days a year, 312 days outside for a guided tour.

Zhou took out a plane ticket and showed it to me, saying that he was going to the same place the day after tomorrow to accompany other people.

"It's like that year after year," Zhou said. Men are forever adrift, while women are forever waiting. ”

"This is our human life," Zhou said. People are always gathering less and leaving more. ”

Single only walks the rivers and lakes.

The next day, Zhou took me to the Grand Hotel Lisboa and a few other casinos, and as I walked to the slot machine, he said to me, "Have fun, have fun, goodbye." ”

We said goodbye to each other three times in a row. I watched Zhou leave the casino and thought to myself that I would never see him again.

Who knows, when I returned to the hotel, I saw him in the lobby wearing slippers and homely clothes. People who fall in love are like this, although they get along for a short time, they will feel as if they have known each other for a lifetime, and when they are separated, it is difficult to give up.

In the end, Zhou kept sending me to the place where I had passed through customs.

He hired someone to carry my big bag through customs and told me where to take a taxi after I got out of customs.

When I walked towards the Zhuhai Customs crossing, he said, "This time I really said goodbye. ”

He said, "Next time you go to Monaco, I'll give you a guided tour." I haven't been to a place this time, and I'll go with you next time. ”

He left me a business card.

But the next time I go to Monaco, the phone on my business card is already in use. He is no longer with the same company, nor does he live in the same place, and the front desk of that company said that he has changed jobs, but does not know where he has changed jobs now. The emails I wrote to him were all bounced back by the server. So, after that, I didn't see him again.

I know that he must still be working as a tour guide somewhere in the world, and I hope he is doing well.

In any case, he is also the person who warmed my life.
