Chapter 10: A Trip to Greece (4)
An hour from Athens to Santorini.
Mu Yishi saw the legendary romantic sea of love.
"Santorini is made up of three small islands, two of which are inhabited, and one is a sleepy volcanic island, which has erupted many times in the history and the center of the island has collapsed in a large area, giving the round island its current crescent shape."
"There are several small towns scattered around the island, but the most famous ones are Oia and Fira, and we stayed in Oia's cliff hotel at night," Shi Mo pointed to the rows of white huts in front of him.
As far as the eye can see, the exquisite and elegant white huts are stacked on top of each other, the height is scattered according to the mountain, the bright blue-roofed church, the red and white bell towers are mixed in, and the beauty is intoxicating against the blue crystal clear sea of love.
The warm sunlight shines on the sea, changing different hues, as if the whole sea has come to life.
Mu Yishi opened her arms and let the gentle warm breeze blow on her face, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a kind of relaxation, as if she was in a paradise.
On the way to Red Beach, there are exposed reddish-brown rocks along the way, like a ribbon guiding the way, all the way to Red Beach.
Due to a landslide leading to Red Beach, you can't move forward, so you can only stand on a high slope and look at the beach ahead.
In front of me, the water and sky are the same color, the white clouds are shining, and the tender green branches are beginning to appear.
In the distance, a few seagulls skimmed by, the blue waves swayed slightly, and from time to time a wave came to roll up layers of white.
After seeing the Red Sea stalls, then you must also go to see the Black Sea stalls.
Colorful sea pebbles, different shapes, many tourists squatting on the beach to pick and practice.
Mu Yishi also squatted down and joined their team.
"Actually, these are all formed by volcanic eruptions," Shi Mo also squatted down to help her find stones with beautiful shapes and colors.
"How about this?"
Mu Yishi picked up the stone in Shi Mo's hand.
It was a red stone, the size of her palm, shaped a bit like a person.
"It's a bit like a person!"
"Really? I'll see."
Mu Yishi didn't say it, and Mo didn't think it was a little like it when he said it and looked at it again.
"Well, it's a little bit."
"You help me hold it, I'll pick up some more and take it back as a souvenir"
The good times always pass quickly.
When the sun sets below sea level, the sky is full of glow, and it is extraordinarily gorgeous.
At this time, no matter what you are doing, stop and gather in the small town of Oia to watch the sunset.
The fiery sunset, the calm lake, and the windmills in the distance feel like in a dream.
The white building looks stable and dignified under the fiery red sunset, and the sunset and windmills really interpret the romance to the extreme.
Some stroll along the coast, some kiss passionately, as if everything here is natural.
When the sun sets over the sea, the lights of the town begin to light up.
Shi Mo took Mu Yishi's hand and walked forward along the seaside, the noise gradually faded away, only the crowd walking quietly and the sound of the waves, the shadow of the moon was reflected on the sea, as white as ice and snow, making the blue water more bright and transparent.
A wave hit, the stars reflected on the sea also shook with the microwave, the sea surface was filled with mist, and the night was long, and from a distance, the buildings on the cliffs of Oia looked like a heavenly fairy palace.
One cannot but marvel at the charm of nature.
......
If it weren't for the fact that the seaside was too humid, Mu Yishi really wanted to use the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed.
Returning from the beach that night, Mu Yishi dreamed that she had become an angel, put on her wings and soared into the sky, and below the sky was the sea of love.
Before dawn, Mu Yishi was called by Shi Mo.
"What are you doing! It's not dawn yet? Mu Yishi was sleepy.
"Who asked me to ask her to go to the beach to watch the sunrise last night?"
"Oh!" Mu Yishi rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"I'll get up right away"
If watching the sunset on the Sea of Love is a sight, then watching the sunrise is an indispensable experience.
And this experience reminded Mu Yishi that a text in elementary school was also her favorite piece of prose.
She had never seen the sea before, nor had she ever seen the sunrise.
"Remember the text "Sunrise on the Sea"?"
"Remember, Barkin's"
"Well, I always thought that it was Ba Jin who wrote the gods, but it turned out that he was also narrating the facts."
"That's right! This is the great wonder of nature."
Shi Mo looked at the sunrise in the sky and whispered in her ear
"People say that people who have watched the sunset and sunrise together will get eternity, poetry, I love you, for a lifetime"
Before Mu Yishi could react, his lips were pasted.
Mu Yishi was stunned for a moment, and then began to respond to him slowly.
Shi Mo, who got a response, seemed to be greatly encouraged, and began to attack the city, until she couldn't bear it anymore before letting go of her.
Tidy up her slightly messy clothes and hug her towards the hotel.
It was already noon when I returned to Athens, and I glanced at the time.
"It's still time to see the changing of the guard"
When they arrived, the changing of the guard ceremony began.
"The changing of the guard in Greece is not as formal as in China, which may be due to differences in national cultures"
"Look at the soldiers, their legs are very high, and their steps are very high."
Shi Mo pointed to the soldiers who were wearing white socks and had a hairball tied to their legs and was carrying out the ceremony.
"Well, it feels like they're dancing"
"The first time I saw it, I felt the same way as you, in fact, the current changing of the guard ceremony is purely ceremonial, you don't want to see their actions a little funny, but the difficulty is still quite high."
"Oh!"
After the changing of the guard ceremony, because of the time relationship, Shi Mo took Mu Yishi directly to the airport.
As soon as she got on the plane, Shi Mo began to deal with work, Mu Yishi had to take headphones, watch TV, and go to bed when she was tired of watching.
When I arrived at Port City, it was the next morning.
Walking out of the airport, Lin Jiannan was waiting there early.
"Brother Shi, sister-in-law"
Lin Jiannan took the luggage in Shi Mo's hand and put it in the trunk.
As soon as he got in the car, Shi Mo instructed Lin Jiannan
"Send the poems back first"
"Okay, Brother Shi"
......
When Shi Mo called and said that he would not come back for dinner, for some reason, Mu Yishi suddenly lost his appetite.
After a casual bite of it, I went upstairs and watched the TV.
After watching the three movies, the hour hand on the wall was already pointing to 10 o'clock, thinking why Shi Mo hadn't come back yet, she picked up her mobile phone and didn't miss a call.
I didn't even have a phone call if I didn't come back.
At the same time, Shi Mo was in the office listening to Lin Jiannan reporting Agatha's movements.
"This morning, Agatha has signed a long-term strategic agreement with Tonglian Company in the United States."
"And went to see your mother again, and your mother has already booked a ticket to return home the day after tomorrow"
As soon as he heard that Mo Qingyun was going back to China, Shi Mo's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were indifferent.
It seems that his mother still refuses to let him go after all.
"In two days, send a few people to follow Shishi, remember, it's in the dark"
"Okay, Brother Shi, then the United States."
"Leave it alone for now"
"Okay, Brother Shi"
Shi Mo stood up, picked up his suit jacket, and walked out.
