Chapter 547: The Favorite of My Life
Zurich's Old Town is a must-see experience, with traditional artisans and antique dealers, bookstores and florists, jewellery, fashion and of course, local brands.
Famous streets such as Bahnhofstrasse, Renweig Strasse, Niederdorf and St. Augustine Lane are also located in the Old Town.
Naturally, the best way to get around the old town is on foot, by bike, or in short, by walking through the city full of the smell of time, stopping in every street for a quiet journey of discovery.
Lu Hongshen and Lin Xiaoxiao came to the old town by car, so naturally they could only choose to walk.
Fortunately, they have time, and they don't have anything else to do today, so they have a lot of time to get through this experience.
Lin Xiaoxiao is here for the first time, full of curiosity about everything, although Lu Hongshen has also come to Zurich for vacation several times, but he has no interest in travel, purely just wants to come on vacation, leisure in the villa with nothing to do, or go skiing, so for this old town of Zurich, Lu Hongshen is actually the first time to come.
But in the end, Lu Hongshen always knows more about Zurich than Lin Xiaoxiao, and before coming, Lu Hongshen also took a look at the map of the city, and he vaguely remembered that the Limmat River seemed to be nearby.
I saw Lu Hongshen look around, roughly determined the direction, then took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and walked in the direction he identified.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two of them to come to the bank of the Limmat River, where flocks of swans were leisurely paddling across the water on the clear and wide river, causing a ripple.
Flying in the air, there are many seagulls on the bank of the river, and they are not afraid of humans at all, and they are very comfortable.
Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that there are many blue and white boats on the river, which seem to be used by tourists to better explore the scenery of the Limmat River.
"What kind of river is this? It's beautiful. Lin Xiaoxiao said with sincere admiration.
Although in the eyes of Zurich people, this may be an ordinary river, but in the eyes of Lin Xiaoxiao, who is accustomed to seeing large and small rivers in China, he feels that his perception of the river has been completely subverted, which is really beautiful, just like a wonderful oil painting, quiet and beautiful.
"This is the Limmat River, an important river in Zurich." Lu Hongshen began to show off some of the knowledge he had learned while Lin Xiaoxiao was not paying attention to it not long ago, "Do you want to take a boat?" ”
Lu Hongshen noticed that Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes stayed on those small boats for a long time.
"Nope." Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoxiao actually refused.
"Then let's take a walk by the river." Lu Hongshen was not reluctant to Lin Xiaoxiao.
The two men held hands and walked slowly and aimlessly along the riverbank, and from time to time the sound of seagulls chirping could be heard in their ears.
Listening to the local people in Zurich who passed by and spoke the local language quickly, although Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand it, he still smiled.
"Do you understand?" Lu Hongshen quipped amusedly.
"I don't understand, but I'm happy to hear it." Lin Xiaoxiao said disapprerovingly.
"What a fool." Lu Hongshen smiled and touched the top of Lin Xiaoxiao's hair.
"Sir, would you like to buy a flower for this beautiful young lady?" At this time, an elderly lady was carrying a rattan basket filled with purple tulips, blocking Lu Hongshen's way.
"What did she say?" Because the old lady spoke English, Lin Xiaoxiao could only roughly understand one or two words, and as for the meaning of the whole sentence, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know at all.
"Purple tulips, what do they represent?" Lu Hongshen also glanced at the flowers in the old lady's basket, purple tulips, which are really uncommon.
"Purple tulips symbolize indelible love, is this beautiful young lady your favorite? If so, then this flower is the most suitable gift for this young lady. The old lady smiled very kindly, and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with gentle power in her eyes.
"Indelible love?" Lu Hongshen muttered to himself, and then a particularly charming smile appeared on his face, "Okay, I want these flowers." ”
As he spoke, Lu Hongshen was about to get his wallet.
"No, sir, one is enough." Unexpectedly, the old lady stopped Lu Hongshen from wanting all-inclusive.
Lu Hongshen's movements paused, and at first he didn't understand why, but after a few seconds, looking at the old lady's smile, Lu Hongshen understood what the old lady meant.
"Okay, just one."
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand the conversation between Lu Hongshen and the old lady, but looking at the actions of the two, he also understood that he was going to buy flowers.
The money in Lu Hongshen's wallet was all big bills, and there was no change, so he directly took one and handed it to the old lady.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't have that much change for you." When the old lady saw the money Lu Hongshen took out, she was embarrassed.
Originally, she just came out to sell flowers and earn some change to supplement the family, and besides, no one usually uses such a large denomination of paper money to buy flowers.
"It's a good deal to exchange a flower for an indelible love, isn't it?" Lu Hongshen smiled slightly, and said an ambiguous word, "Since it is such a precious love, how can it be measured by money?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for the old lady to react, Lu Hongshen took a purple tulip from the old lady's basket and put the banknote into the old lady's basket.
In the end, he took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and left directly.
It wasn't until he walked a long way ago that Lu Hongshen suddenly took Lin Xiaoxiao's hand and knelt down on one knee.
"Lu Hongshen, what are you doing here? Hurry up, so many people are watching! Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback and hurried to pull Lu Hongshen.
However, Lu Hong knelt down very persistently, and Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't pull it up at all.
The expression on Lu Hongshen's face was particularly sincere, he looked at the purple tulip he was holding in his other hand, and said to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Lin Xiaoxiao, do you know what the flower language of this flower is?" ”
"How do I know, you and the old lady just talked about it, I don't understand it at all, hey, don't talk about it yet, can you get up quickly?" Lin Xiaoxiao had no way to care about these things now, she only noticed that the pedestrians around her were looking at her with curious eyes, and she was really a little unbearable.
"Lin Xiaoxiao, the old lady said, this purple tulip symbolizes indelible love, if I give it to you, it means that you are the favorite of my life, so, Lin Xiaoxiao, are you willing to accept this purple tulip I gave you?"
Lu Hongshen said with great affection, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes as if Lin Xiaoxiao was the most precious gift in the world.
Such a Lu Hongshen, Lin Xiaoxiao is the first time to see it.
