"Man, you're a ghost."

"Huh?"

Tao Ting cleared her throat and regained her senses: "An Jin said that you studied automotive engineering as an undergraduate, and I thought you had an accident in Norbert. ”

"No, that's later."

Xu Linyue has rarely mentioned these to others, and at this moment in such a special environment, looking back on the past, it is really emotional.

He turned the paper cup in his hand and said: "I was so angry with my master that I was my mentor, and he felt that people like me had no sense of responsibility, no respect for life, and no use of knowledge on the right path, so they couldn't do it." ”

"So you went to marketing in graduate school?"

"That was later." Xu Linyue didn't know where to start for a while.

"My therapist is called Noah, who is of mixed Chinese and German descent, and is also my best friend in Germany, his mother is from the northwest, and the noodles are very delicious, and I have spent most of my holidays at their house every year." Xu Linyue paused and said, "His brother is August, you know August, right?" ”

Tao Ting nodded: "Yes, Norbert's new ruler." ”

Xu Linyue laughed: "It's not new, he's been in office for almost ten years." ”

Tao Ting suddenly came back to her senses: "Oh, yes." She smiled and sighed: "My knowledge of him is still stuck in the past. ”

Tao Ting had seen this name on Norbert's website before, read him in related news reports, and had often heard them mention it at that time, but she had never met August himself, and she couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of person is he?" ”

"He is mature and steady, rational and resolute, not surprised by changes, very good at leadership, and very smart."

Tao Ting snorted and laughed.

"Laughing at what?"

Tao Ting raised the coffee and said, "Isn't this what I see in my eyes." ”

Xu Linyue raised his eyebrows: "You have such a high opinion of me?" ”

Tao Ting immediately shot back: "What? Don't you have any self-confidence? ”

"Okay." I don't know what to think, the corners of Xu Linyue's mouth gradually flattened.

"So August is your career guide?" Tao Ting asked.

"Hmm." Xu Linyue nodded, "You can say that." ”

"Then you left Norbert at that time, and he didn't keep you?"

"Nope."

Sensing that Xu Linyue's mood had changed, Tao Ting knew that this topic could no longer be discussed.

She put the empty paper cup on the table, got up and said, "Shall we not go out and see?" ”

Xu Linyue raised his head: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm not selling cars."

Xu Linyue: "They also criticized cosmetics companies and scolded us for excessive packaging. ”

"Really?" Tao Ting frowned and thought, "As soon as you say that, it seems that we can also grasp the point of environmental protection." ”

"Honey." Xu Linyue stood up, "I am ashamed that you care about work like this." ”

Tao Ting asked him rhetorically: "Shouldn't you be very pleased?" Old-fashioned? ”

Xu Linyue just smiled: "Go out and see." ”

Several police cars were parked at the entrance of the pavilion, and some people tried to climb poles to hang banners high.

The first time Tao Ting saw this picture, she asked Xu Linyue: "Are environmentalists so radical?" ”

"If you're not aggressive, who cares about you." Xu Linyue tugged on her arm, "Don't look, be careful." ”

Tao Ting retracted her gaze and asked him, "Are we going back?" ”

Xu Linyue heard her words and asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”

The sun is shining, and the shadows at your feet are high and low.

"The weather is so good." Tao Ting covered her forehead with her hand, raised her eyes to look at Xu Linyue and asked, "How did you spend your rest days in Munich before?" ”

Xu Linyue felt that it was better to answer this question with actions than words, and he said, "Go." ”

Dozens of minutes later they stood on Marienplatz, the center of Munich, and the crowd was bustling.

Across the street there was a long queue in front of a luxury store, and Xu Linyue said to Tao Ting: "You can see a lot of Asians here." ”

"Do you see them being homesick?"

"To be honest, no, I don't have any family love, I can live anywhere."

As they walked down the street, Xu Linyue found the coffee shop he used to frequent, only to find that it had changed its number.

Tao Ting, who did not know German, guessed that it was an ice cream parlor based on the pattern on the sign.

"Want to eat?" Xu Linyue tilted his head and asked.

"Have you eaten?"

"Nope." Xu Linyue pushed open the glass door, "It used to be a coffee shop, but I often came here. ”

Xu Linyue bought two chocolate-flavored cones, and seeing that he was fluent in communication with the clerk, Tao Ting became interested and said, "You can also teach me a few words of German." ”

"What do you want to learn?" Xu Linyue held the tip of the ice cream, the cocoa powder was slightly bitter in the mouth, and it was sweet after sipping.

Tao Ting thought for a while and asked, "How do you say 'hello'?" ”

"To put it simply, it's Hallo."

“Hallo.” Tao Ting read along, "Why is it so similar to English?" ”

"German and English are originally relatives and belong to the same language family." Xu Linyue said, for example, "For example, 'I love you', the German name is 'Ich liebe dich', ich is I, liebe is love, and dich is you, and the grammar is similar." ”

"What about 'I like you'? How so? ”

"'I like you' is called ...... 'Du gefaellst mir.'"

"That's not right." Tao Ting questioned, "Shouldn't it be ich or something?" ”

Xu Linyue was surprised: "You remember it quite quickly." ”

"Well, I have a good memory."

"There are other expressions, but this is the most commonly used." Xu Linyue said, "There is a declension in German, Du is you, gefell means liking, and mir is me." ”

Tao Ting wondered: "Then which one is the subject?" Shouldn't that be 'you like me'? ”

Xu Linyue shook his head: "Du is the subject, but it means 'I like you', and gefell dominates the third case." ”

"Oh my God." Tao Ting shook her head, "It's so complicated." ”

Xu Linyue smiled and asked, "Aren't you a good student?" ”

Tao Ting quibbled: "Not understanding is not only a problem for students, sometimes teachers also need to reflect. ”

Xu Linyue laughed angrily: "Why didn't I find out that you were so sharp before?" ”

Tao Ting took a bite of ice cream and shrugged her shoulders defiantly.

"Then you can understand it in another way, gefell is an extension of the verb fallen, and fell means fall, fall." Xu Linyue said, "Maybe what the Germans wanted to express at the beginning was, 'You fell into me,' and that feeling of heartbeat was like." It's like 'I miss you', or 'Du fehlst mir' in German, and fehlen actually means missing, like saying 'you're not with me', so I miss you so much. ”

Tao Ting nodded thoughtfully and commented: "The Germans are quite reserved. ”

Xu Linyue said: "But these are all blind interpretations by me, and no one has asked me these questions except you." ”

"So it's actually you who is romantic?"

Xu Linyue shrugged his shoulders as she looked.

Tao Ting smiled, attracted by a small shop next to her.

The windows are filled with all sorts of small objects, like dollhouses in the wizarding world.

"Let's go in and see." Xu Linyue stepped up the steps.

The shop is small in size, with narrow aisles, and a wooden table with many intricately crafted miscellaneous items and jewelry, and on the other side is vintage-style clothes.

Tao Ting picked an irregularly shaped ring at a glance, with a ruby embedded in a silver shank, which has personality but is not ostentatious.

Xu Linyue asked, "Like this?" ”

"Hmm."

She had ice cream in her hand, and she couldn't try it on alone, Xu Linyue took the ring and asked, "Which hand?" ”

Chapter 46

Tao Ting stretched out her right hand: "This one." ”

The ring snares were put into the base of her middle finger, and she raised her hand with regret in her eyes.

"It seems to be a little bigger." Xu Linyue said.

"Hmm." Tao Ting lowered her hand as if the ring was about to fall off at any time, but she didn't want to miss it at a glance, or in a foreign country.

"That's it." She turned to the boss behind the counter and asked, "Hello, how much is this one?"

"It's okay, take a string and make it a necklace." Xu Linyue reached out to touch his wallet from his pocket, but Tao Ting held his arm.

"No, I'll do it myself."

The boss put the ring in a velvet pouch, Tao Ting asked Xu Linyue: "Thank you, how can you say?" ”

“Danke.”

Tao Ting learned his pronunciation and said to the boss, "Danke!"

After leaving the grocery store, they continued to walk down the street, and Xu Linyue introduced Tao Ting to the surrounding landmarks as he walked.

The twin towers of Our Lady Cathedral are nearly 100 meters long, and the dome is very romantic, with simple red bricks, solemn and peaceful.

"I thought churches were all of those Gothic spires." Tao Ting said.

"Actually, this is also a Gothic style, as if the dome was built because the funds were not enough." Xu Linyue asked her, "Do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
