Rosette Section 61
"Okay."
Tao Ting's first visit to the church, even though the dome is high and the sunlight is refracted through the windows around her, she still unconsciously breathes.
The columns are full of intricate pure white reliefs, and this sense of oppression may also be called sacred.
After walking for almost half an hour, Xu Linyue said, "Let's sit down for a while." ”
Tao Ting nodded, found a vacant seat on the bench and sat down, she turned her head sideways and said to the person next to her: "I have only seen this kind of place in TV dramas, I feel that I have crossed in, so unreal." ”
Xu Linyue was amused by her, raised his head and looked around: "I also came in to visit once many years ago. ”
"Thank you for today."
His topic changed too quickly, Tao Ting raised her head and met Xu Linyue's gaze: "Thank me for what?" ”
"My old colleague knew that I was back and said that Norbert had a recent solo exhibition and asked me to have time to check it out." Xu Linyue looked up at the statue of the Virgin Mary in the center, "I wouldn't dare to go without you." ”
Visitors come and go in and out of the church from time to time, and sitting quietly on a wooden bench in this way, the brain unconsciously enters a state of emptiness, and frame after frame flashes in front of the eyes, making people feel a little trance.
Tao Ting took out the velvet pouch from the bag, opened the bag and took out the ring.
She put it in her hand and looked at it, suddenly turned sideways, grabbed Xu Linyue's left hand, and put the ring into his middle finger.
"Exactly." Tao Ting lifted the corners of her lips and raised her eyes.
Xu Linyue looked at the extra ring on his hand in a daze, and didn't react.
"I will be enlightened by the Blessed Virgin, and I will be safe and prosperous in the future." Tao Ting let go of his hand and sat up straight again.
Xu Linyue looked at the ring, then at Tao Ting, withdrew his hand, but his eyes couldn't help but lower his eyes to peek: "You still have this." ”
Tao Ting said: "It's worthless, give it to you, just keep a souvenir." ”
"Do you know who usually exchanges rings in churches?"
Tao Ting didn't pay attention to listen: "What? ”
Xu Linyue smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing." ”
Marienplatz is the heart of Munich, with a Frauench Column in the center, surrounded by some of the city's oldest buildings, where tradition and modernity collide and it is also an important commercial district.
At the last stop of the day, Xu Linyue took Tao Ting to a tavern.
On the second floor, there is an open-air terrace with a night breeze and a lively street market.
"You used to be here a lot?"
"This is where the company comes when it comes to team building." Xu Linyue flipped through the menu and said, "The bar I often go to is near my apartment." ”
Tao Ting leaned on the railing and looked at the pedestrians below: "This place is a bit similar to Shencheng." ”
"Yes, yes." Xu Linyue asked her, "Is there anything you want to eat?" ”
"Is there a pork knuckle?" Tao Ting turned her head, her eyes shining.
"Yes ." Xu Linyue smiled and nodded, "The sausages are also delicious." ”
"Point!"
Soon the waiter brought two glasses of craft beer, Tao Ting took out her mobile phone and turned on the camera, and said, "Take a picture of Xu Huaibin and starve him to death." ”
Xu Linyue said: "Try it to see if it is the good taste of Shencheng or the good taste here." ”
Tao Ting lowered her head and typed: "That must be here." ”
She picked up the beer glass and found that she could not hold it with one hand, but could only hold it with both hands.
"There's a liter here, right?"
"It's basically a liter of drinking here."
Tao Ting instantly felt pressure: "I don't want to get drunk later." ”
"It's okay, drink slowly." The waiter brought the sausage platter, Xu Linyue forked a piece with a toothpick, and handed it to Tao Ting first, "Anyway, it's just the two of us today." ”
Tao Ting took a sip of sausage and beer, and sighed comfortably: "It's so refreshing." ”
Xu Linyue looked at her, and the corners of his mouth never came down.
Tao Ting seems to be addicted to learning German today, she held the cup and asked Xu Linyue: "Cheers, how do you say?" ”
Xu Linyue thought for a moment and replied, "Zum Wohl."
“Zum Wohl.” Tao Ting whispered along, she stretched out her hand and said loudly again, "Zum Wohl! ”
Xu Linyue picked up the cup and touched it, and the glass made a crisp sound, and soon melted into the hot evening breeze.
Tao Ting took a big sip of wine, didn't know what to think of funny, lowered her head and laughed.
She said to Xu Linyue, "Do you remember when you came to our school? It's about German beer. It wasn't really my class that day, I helped my roommate with it, and she had a fever. ”
Xu Linyue's memory of that year was already a little vague, and it was only when she mentioned it that she vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
Tao Ting's cheeks were crimson, and she continued to herself: "I definitely didn't dare to think that one day I would sit in Germany face to face with you and drink beer. ”
"You've forgotten." She lowered her head and picked up the fork at hand.
Xu Linyue nodded honestly: "Hmm." ”
Tao Ting chewed the sausage and stopped talking, the alcohol caused a strange physiological reaction in her body, she fanned her eyelashes, and held back the astringency in her eyes for no reason.
"What's wrong?"
"It's fine." Tao Ting picked up the wine glass.
"Obviously something's wrong." Xu Linyue stood up, walked around the table and sat next to her.
"What are you doing here?"
"But how can I wipe your tears from you?" Xu Linyue picked up the paper towel on the table.
Tao Ting said solemnly: "I didn't cry. ”
"Then wipe your eyes." Xu Linyue rubbed the paper on her face as he spoke.
"I didn't." Tao Ting raised her arm to block it, and her other hand pounded on his chest.
Xu Linyue smiled and put down his hand to stop teasing her.
They sat side by side on the benches, the guests around them drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was so lively that only their table fell into an eerie silence.
"What do you mean by 'I like you'?" Tao Ting asked suddenly.
"What's wrong?"
"Forget, I'll review it."
“Du gefaellst mir.”
"Oh." Tao Ting whispered silently, Du gefaellst mir.
After drinking half a glass of beer, Tao Ting really couldn't drink it.
Xu Linyue asked the waiter to pack the uneaten pork knuckle, saying that it could be sandwiched in bread for breakfast and lunch tomorrow.
Tao Ting asked him, "You've been like this before?" ”
"yes, it's a meal that can make do with it. I'll make you one tomorrow too? ”
Tao Ting laughed, shook her head and said, "No need, it will be carried out tomorrow." ”
"Oh yes." Xu Linyue clenched his fists, "Come on." ”
Tao Ting said: "If you have time to cheer me up, it is better to give me a raise." ”
"Heartwork?" Xu Linyue didn't understand it for a while, thinking that it was a new popular Internet slang among their young people, and asked sincerely, "How can you add your heart?" ”
Tao Ting frowned: "Are you really drunk or are you pretending to be stupid with me?" ”
"Oh, you said a raise." Xu Linyue reacted, "Okay, give you a raise." ”
The stupid Xu Linyue, Tao Ting scolded in her heart.
It's not far from the hotel, and the two of them walked back to sober up and eat.
On the way, Tao Ting asked Xu Linyue: "You went to the headquarters in the past two days, did it go well?" ”
"It's okay, Carol is retiring soon, she attaches great importance to the Asian market, so we can quickly gain a foothold in China in the past few years, and the road ahead ......" Xu Linyue paused, "Let's talk about it later." ”
Tao Ting asked him again: "Is there any difference between Norbert and Qianque?" ”
"There must be differences, one is the old car company, the other is the new trend of the cosmetics industry, the consumer groups are different, the development direction is different, and even the company atmosphere is much worse."
"Which ...... then?"
As soon as she started, she was interrupted by Xu Linyue: "This road takes less than 20 minutes, are you sure you want to talk to me about this all the time?" ”
Tao Ting bit her lower lip and stopped squeaking.
"I just don't understand, you said you like cars to come to Germany to go to school, why did you go to the cosmetics industry again?" "I thought that even if you left Norbert, you would go to another car company." ”
"That makes sense." Xu Linyue said, "Hobbies and work should be separated, otherwise life will become a mess." ”
Tao Ting asked: "Then what do you mean by this, feelings and work should also be separated?" ”
Xu Linyue slowed down, pondered these words carefully, and said, "You don't misinterpret me. ”
"I think it's a meaning."
"Feelings and work are separated." Xu Linyue asked her, "Am I not clear about public and private?" ”
Tao Ting took a breath and said unhappily: "You are also misinterpreting me." ”
"I didn't." Xu Linyue denied it with a smile.
He said: "I will not make a mess of my life again." ”
The contours of the hotel are becoming clearer, and the closer they get to their destination, the more they deliberately slow down.
Tao Ting asked out loud: "How do you say 'good night' in German?" ”
Xu Linyue replied: "Good night is called 'Gute Nacht', which is similar to English, gute is good, Nacht is night." ”
Tao Ting nodded and repeated softly, "Gute Nacht."
Standing at the door of the hotel, she raised her head and said "see you tomorrow" and stepped up the steps.
