Chapter 005: Louis XIV Rose

When Liu Ting was a little embarrassed, Saidhu suddenly smiled, and when he smiled, he obviously looked at a gap between her teeth, which was slightly larger than that of ordinary people.

"Okay, where are we going out? Drinking coffee? ”

"I know there's a café nearby, and it's in a small alley, but it's a nice environment."

The French are happy to indulge, especially coffee, which is a drink.

During the 1991 Gulf War, France was also one of the belligerent countries. At that time, many French people were worried that the cause of the war would affect the supply of daily necessities, and rushed to supermarkets to buy them. This incident alarmed the rest of Europe, and TV stations from other European countries came to France to report the news, only to find that the French people snapped up the most not rice, oil, salt, etc., but coffee and the sugar needed to make coffee. This incident made France a big joke in Europe for a time.

It can be seen that the French love coffee so much, compared to the taste of coffee, the French pay more attention to the environment of drinking coffee, as long as a café has an elegant environment, even if the taste is very ordinary, it will be full of customers.

In one Parisian district, you can count more than 12,000 cafés. It is no exaggeration to say that coffee is their lover in the eyes of the French.

Every French person has the most loyal café in his heart, and he goes there every time, and every time he goes, the habit does not change, the same taste of coffee, the same seat, and even the waiter. There is a tradition in France that it is harder to get someone to change a café than to change religion on the banks of the Seine in Paris.

Liu Ting, who spent a few years in Monaco, also fell in love with this kind of liking, and fell in love with a café in the old town.

Fortunately, Monaco is small, and Monte Carlo is only a few minutes walk from the old town. Along the way, Léa Seydoux was chatting with Liu Ting.

"Are you an actor or a model?"

"Actually, I'm a soccer player."

"And how do you know me?"

"I've seen you in magazines."

……

Seydoux is only 21 years old, and her career as an actor has just begun, but she has been a model for a period of time in the past two years, and Liu Ting's reason is reasonable.

After asking and answering, Liu Ting learned that Seydoux wanted to become a movie star, but the family wanted her to be a producer, a filmmaker has no movie star scenery, but he can decide the life and death of a film, and he has a lot of power, and Seydoux's mother is a film producer.

Therefore, Seydoux had a conflict with her family, without the support of her family, she finally got a supporting role in a low-budget movie, and after acting, Seydoux felt that the contrast was too great, and she wanted to become a movie star alone, and without the support of her family, she didn't know when she would go.

Seydoux, who was in a bad mood, came to Monaco to relax, and happened to meet Liu Ting at the casino.

Monaco is actually like a French province a lot of the time, and it's easy for the French to come over.

Soon, Liu Ting and Seydoux arrived in the old town, made three turns in the alleys, and finally arrived at a café called 'Louis XIV Rose'.

As soon as you enter the café, you will see large oil paintings on the walls on both sides, which look like they are depicting Norse mythology. The café is not very big, but the whole room is filled with piano music, which seems to be intermittent, making people calm and seem a little sad.

There are no major changes in the store and Liu Ting's memory, except that the waiter wears a Santa hat.

Walking through the quiet corridor, although it was morning, there were already people in the café, Liu Ting led Seydoux to the open-air balcony of the café. Sitting on the balcony, you can see the blue Mediterranean Sea, and the sea is crashing against the coastline. There are some purple-black flowers planted on the side of the balcony, Monaco is located on the edge of the Mediterranean, and the winter is not too cold, and I don't know what the store uses to heat up, these flowers are blooming brilliantly.

The two sat down on the balcony, Liu Ting asked for a cup of espresso, and Seydoux ordered a cappuccino.

"The environment of this café is really good, I didn't expect there to be such a café in Monaco, but the name of the café is a bit strange." Saidu looked at Liu Ting and said.

Liu Ting didn't answer her words directly, but pointed to the purple-black flowers on the edge of the balcony and asked, "Do you know what kind of flower it is?" ”

Seydoux looked at the beautiful flower and shook his head, then thought of something, and said with a little surprise: "That's the Louis XIV rose?" ”

Louis XIV was the greatest king in the history of the French Empire, single-handedly promoted the French Empire to dominate Europe, and was also the longest-reigning emperor in European history, calling himself the 'Sun King'. Although Louis XIV is powerful, what Liu Ting remembers most clearly is not that this product likes inbreeding or anything, but that this product invented something that benefits thousands of beautiful women - high heels. Louis XIV himself was short, shorter than Messi, only 154cm, because he felt that his height and status did not match, so he asked craftsmen to make the world's first pair of high heels.

France seems to have a tradition of dwarf rulers to be powerful, and Louis XIV and Napoleon are both known as 'dwarf giants'. It is said that the favorite flower of Napoleon's wife, Empress Josephine, was the Louis XIV rose.

"Well, that purple-black flower is the Louis XIV rose." Liu Ting said to Saidy.

"Is it related to Louis XIV?" Seydoux said curiously.

"No, Louis XIV was named only to highlight his dignity and authority."

Coffee came up, and the two chatted and tasted coffee.

"This flower is really strange, the color and name are strange." Seydoux said again.

"In Norse mythology, Shangluo Van died of an illness and buried her in an amethyst at the bottom of the Moon Lake. Later, purple flowers grew on the amethyst, and people named the purple flowers after Shangluo Fan's fiancée as roses, which is the source of roses. It is believed that Fan's fiancée was afraid of her lover's loneliness after her death, and the rose of her soul was transformed to accompany her lover Fan. Satan, the demon of the underground, heard the story and was determined to come out of the underworld to destroy it all, Satan, as the Lord of all evil, hated all that was good. In the end, the purple rose was destroyed by Satan, and Shangluo Fan also died for protecting the rose, and the destroyed place grew a new colorless and transparent rose, and Fan's blood was sprinkled on the colorless and transparent rose, and there was a red rose in the world today. Red roses are everywhere, and the deep purple roses are found only in France, and in order to show his nobility, they were named Louis XIV roses. ”

Liu Ting talked eloquently, he felt that Bai Fumei like Léa Seydoux should like this kind of petty bourgeois things, and she was still a French Bai Fumei.

"Wow, you're so erudite, I didn't know that Rose had such a story, you don't look like a football player, you look like a university professor, no, you're not very old, you should be a doctor from a university." Seydoux said with a look of adoration.

Liu Ting looked at her like this, and felt that he could strike while the iron was hot, so he looked directly into her eyes and said, "Actually, I think you are even more beautiful today than Louis XIV roses." ”

Sure enough, Saidy's face turned a little red, and he looked at Liu Ting and said softly, "Thank you!" ”

Liu Ting looked at her and slowly leaned his head towards her, the table was very narrow, and it would not hinder the two of them.

Léa Seydoux closed her eyes, and Liu Ting kissed her on the lips gently, through a narrow table, lightly.

The two kissed like this for a few minutes, and the people around them did not make a fuss, but in France, a man and a woman can be seen kissing everywhere.

Liu Ting walked home alone.

Léa Seydoux was gone, and the two had been around Monaco for a few hours, just holding hands and kissing, and she said she was going home. It seems that she is not very adaptable to the development too fast, and Liu Ting is also afraid that if she stays, she may be scared by his crazy sweating at night.

Liu Ting sent her to Nice Airport, watched her board the plane back to Paris, and left a phone call for each other.

This birthday is not bad, the only fly in the ointment is that the real age is 18 years old, but he has not been able to really 'adult'.

For the next half month, Liu Ting stayed in Monaco, going out for a walk when he was bored, going to the casino to play or soak in the hot springs.

In the evening, the training of spiritual illusions is naturally indispensable, and the sandbag training has to be insisted on for half a year.

At the end of the La Liga winter break, Liu Ting got on the plane back to Barcelona in Nice, and he still had a youth contract at Barcelona Club, so he had to get through the past six months, and he had to wait for his agent to help contact the team.
