When Cheng Mo opened his eyes, there was a continuous "buzzing" sound in his head, this head-wrenching buzzing sound reminded Cheng Mo of a scene in the masterpiece "Journey to the West" with the idea of postmodern deconstruction, Tang Seng was constantly reading the classic sentence in Sun Wukong's ear, "The moonlight treasure box is a treasure, littering will pollute the environment, what if it hits the children? Even if you can't hit the children, it's not good to hit the flowers and plants", Stephen Chow played Sun Wukong covered his head and rolled on the sand, as if he was recited a mantra.

It's just that on his head is not a golden hoop that binds freedom, but a Tesla coil. A Tesla coil that kept firing in his mind made him have to reminisce about the paralyzing sensation of electricity passing through his body.....

This feeling is the fear of being dominated by Xie Minyun's "domestic violence" just now.

Thinking that he would have to face Xie Minyun's education these days in the future, Cheng Mo let out a turbid breath, not knowing if such luck was considered happiness.

Cheng Mo wanted to get up, but the sound of "buzzing" swirled in his mind, making his head a little dull, as if the brain was constantly expanding, squeezing the cranial cavity, Cheng Mo didn't expect that the damage suffered by the carrier would also have some impact on the body. He didn't know if this was an illusion, he slumped on the bed and stared at the beech beam that was horizontal in the center of the triangular roof, ready to forcibly divert his attention, after thinking for a while, Cheng Mo still struggled to get up, intending to review all the gains of last night, and forget about his fancy abuse for the time being.

Glancing at the time, Cheng Mo sat down at the table next to the bed, it was only seven o'clock in the morning, the sun was still below the skyline, the sky was a gray blue, and from the wooden lattice window of the attic, you could see the gorgeous dome of St. Peter's Church. Cheng Mo stretched out his hand and pulled the old green glass-covered table lamp, and the dim light illuminated a corner of the attic.

Cheng Mo opened the laptop, turned it on, opened the word document and began to record some of the things he felt needed to record, the content was very complicated, including what he saw and heard in Napoleon VII's box, the battle between Amideo and Joseph, and Xie Minyun taught him some knowledge about gladiatorial fighting....... and the experience of being "domestic violence" by Xie Minyun and so on.

After completing the record, Cheng meditated for a while and divided it into several documents according to the content, and put them into different folders, for example, the content related to Napoleon VII was put into the folder named "Important People", and some important knowledge about gladiatorial battles was put into the folder named "Gladiatorial Fights......

Cheng Mo plans to reorganize all his records over the years in the past few days, whether it is interpersonal relationships, raiders in the Land of Ruins, skill analysis, and gladiatorial fighting techniques, do a good job of archiving, and clarify the context of what he needs to do next.

After working on the document for a while, Cheng Mo opened the Chosen One forum, and sure enough, as he expected, everyone was discussing Johnson and Amidio's gladiatorial fight yesterday.

Crépeau, a well-known gladiator on the forum, posted a video of Johnson and Amidio's gladiatorial commentary, which was pinned to the top of the Chosen Forum, and the price to watch is not expensive, only one bitcoin.

Such a price can no longer be described with conscience, it is simply a jumping price, a fire sale price, and a big bloodletting, which makes people wonder if the boss of Sullivan, an intelligence organization that monopolizes the gladiatorial video industry, has run away with his sister-in-law.

Such a conscientious price and a rare video of a master's gladiatorial fight have made the post extremely hot, but more than 18,000 copies have been sold just over two hours after it was posted. Cheng Mo naturally didn't feel sorry for a bitcoin, and after paying, he clicked on the post, and first clicked on the video.

Cheng Mo, the speech of Philip's god in front, jumped directly over, and when Johnson and Amidio officially started, the video automatically entered the slow-down 400 times mode, to Cheng Mo's surprise, the clarity completely exceeded his imagination, and the picture connection was also perfect, obviously shot and produced by professionals.

Cheng Mo has watched many gladiatorial videos, and it is difficult for ordinary machines to keep up with the movement speed of the Chosen One, unless many machines are used to shoot at the same time, but this is another problem that is more difficult to edit. Therefore, many gladiatorial fight videos either have elements of acting and are not realistic enough, or the picture is completely incoherent and looks uncomfortable.

However, this video does not have these problems at all, and Cheng Mo guesses that the Round Table Council that controls the world order is very likely to be involved, and it is likely that as Napoleon VII said, the Round Table Council wants to use this as an opportunity to establish a gladiatorial ranking system outside the list of the Chosen One, or to hold a large-scale competition with enough attention to divert the attention of the Chosen One.

Cheng Mo is not interested in the wrestling behind the world, and he has little to do with him, he carefully watched the video of Crépo's explanation for a while, but he became more and more disappointed, because Crépo was just constantly repeating what skills the two people used, how much damage this skill would cause, there was not much substance, at most it was to explain some small tricks of combos, and he didn't tell the audience why the two people used this trick and why they responded like this.

In contrast, Xie Minyun's analysis was much more profound, so Cheng Mo exited the video, pulled the page down, and saw that the comment with the most likes came from Crépo himself.

"This is the first time since the establishment of the Chosen One Forum that a video of the gladiatorial fight between the top 100 Chosen ones has been released, thank you Sullivan for choosing me to be the narrator, and pay tribute to the staff behind the scenes! Thank you Johnson and Amideo for bringing us the art of gladiatorial fighting, and pay tribute to the two selfless powerhouses! Thank you to God General Philip for his support, and pay tribute to one of the greatest Chosen One on this earth!"

The second most liked was: "I just want to know if Napoleon VII has responded to Johnson's challenge, and if so, when will it be arranged?

Cheng Mo casually swept the message behind him, basically sighing that this is the real art of gladiatorial fighting, and some people are lamenting that annihilation is really invincible, in addition, everyone is discussing whether Napoleon VII, who is ranked fourth on the list, will fight Johnson, if these two people fight, who has a better chance of winning. Judging from the previous comments, Napoleon VII's approval rating is showing a one-sided trend, and the vast majority of people believe that even if Johnson has the skill of "annihilation", he cannot be the opponent of Napoleon VII, who has been ranked in the top ten for a year.

Of course, there are also some doubtful voices, such as some people mocking Napoleon VII for not daring to respond to Johnson's challenge in the presence of Napoleon VII, he must be unsure, scared, etc., these are not the mainstream.

However, when someone posted Napoleon VII's battle record, almost all of them relied on winning the Chosen One after the fiftyth rank to get points, and what was even more slap in the face was that this person also posted Athena's battle record, all of which were points won against the Chosen One who was ranked very high.

At this time, the message changed direction, and many people began to say that Napoleon VII had a false name, and he was a pseudo-strong man who relied on control to score the top twelve.

Cheng Mo witnessed the battle between Napoleon VII and the Joker Sith two years ago, when the Joker ranked 29th and Napoleon VII ranked 19th, the battle between the two made Cheng Mo feel very shocked at that time, and in his senses, the gladiatorial battle between Johnson and Amidio this time was not as exciting as that time.

Of course, Cheng Mo feels that he is not qualified to make judgments with his current strength, which is very subjective, but Cheng Mo still thinks that Napoleon VII can win against Johnson.

Cheng Mo didn't look at the boring argument and walked out, then skimmed through the other posts on the forum, either discussing Johnson and Amidio's gladiatorial fight, or Napoleon VII and Johnson. The number of posts complaining about the chaotic situation in Europa and criticizing Ou Yu for letting in so many other countries has dropped dramatically, and the discussion post of "The Attack on Athens by the Taiji Dragon", which was popular a few days ago, has sunk without a trace. Cheng Mo flipped through many pages before he saw a post discussing the survival of the Stalker in Europa and Ouyu's purpose.

Cheng Mo wanted to click in to take a look, but was told by the box that popped up that "this post has been locked, you don't have the right to browse", Cheng Mo couldn't help frowning, it seems that the Chosen One Forum and the Round Table Council have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and are determined to completely solve the problem of Europa Stalker.

This is not the situation that Cheng Mo wants to see, because it means that Europa, the last free land in the world, will also enter the strict control of the government.

Cheng Mo sighed in his heart, turned off the computer and got up to go to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, and then when he changed his clothes in the room, Cheng Mo heard Xie Minyun shouting in the corridor: "Come down for breakfast." ”

"Get down right now. Cheng Mo replied, he tidied up his hair a little, sat on the edge of the bed and put on his shoes, and quickly went down to the café on the first floor. By this time it was already dawn, the leaves of the ivy were trembling in the morning breeze, and the golden Roman sun was shining on the shiny stone path, as if it were hundreds of years ago.

The smell of almond cookies wafted in the air, biscuits, milk, and boiled eggs rested on the small table by the window, Xie Minyun rolled up the sleeves of his blue and white vertical striped shirt, and hung a coffee-colored apron to wipe the glass, the rag left traces on the transparent glass, and then the fine white foam flowed downward, and soon sublimated into translucent tear stains.

The music in the café is playing, the golden stylus are jumping on the turntable, and the sounds of the piano and violin are intertwined, flowing into Schumann's "Fantasia" (BGM: Kinderszenen (Scenes of childhood), Op. 15: VII. Traumerei (Dreaming)(arr. for violin and piano)), the song is as warm as a summer evening breeze, reminding Cheng Mo of his childhood lying in a hammock on the rooftop and looking up at the starry sky, until fatigue makes him involuntarily close his eyes.

At this second, Cheng Mo's mind was blank, all the annoying buzzing sounds in his mind were gone, only beautiful music surrounded him, Cheng Mo looked at Xie Minyun, she straightened up, straightened her back, and her slender legs wrapped in blue jeans made her curves as smooth as the music in her ears. She wiped the glass intently, without any pretentiousness.

Xie Minyun's focused movements made Cheng Mo feel the existence of time, and her waving arms were as precise as a pendulum, as if she had witnessed the goddess of time walking in his field of vision.

Whether it is time or her, it is so comfortable.

It's so beautiful that you want to lie on the couch and watch this scene into an eternally sweet dream.

"Don't be stunned! Hurry up and eat, hurry up and help when you're done!" Xie Minyun's voice floated in from outside the café.

Cheng Mo walked towards the small table by the window, pulled out a chair and began to eat, Xie Minyun has neither pursuit nor too much attention to eating, the taste of the food made basically depends on the quality of the raw materials, in short, there is no way to compare with Teacher Shen, but Cheng Mo tasted a different sweetness today.

After eating breakfast, Cheng Mo also hung up an apron to help Xie Minyun clean up. Xie Minyun wiped the glass, and Cheng Mo wiped the table and chairs.

When he rubbed it to the bar, Cheng Mo noticed that there were a lot of bottles and cans for making milk tea in the cabinet of the bar, although it is said that Huaxia milk tea has conquered overseas in recent years, but it is still a very rare thing in Italy, the birthplace of coffee culture, Cheng Mo really can't think of a safe house that will prepare the raw materials for making milk tea in the coffee shop. So Cheng Mo asked with some confusion: "How.... There's something to make milk tea in the safe house? Won't this be exposed?"

Xie Minyun glanced back at Cheng Mo, pretended to be calm and said, "Who told you this is a safe house?"

"Huh, didn't you say, 'You can think so,' the day before yesterday?"

Xie Minyun bit his lip and explained: "Because the ruins of Europa are more concentrated, in order to pursue speed, my ruins of the land tasks are all completed in Europa, I actually don't like to live in hotels, and I don't like to live in safe houses, so I want to find a fixed residence, thinking about going to Rome with a mild climate, no matter which ruins land is not far away, plus the Colosseum is here, I want to live here for a long time in the future, so I decided to buy a house in Rome." ”

"This is a coffee house?" Cheng Mo's heart is still full of doubts, according to rational thinking, there is no need for Xie Minyun to disguise the house he bought as a coffee house, which will only make the neighbors more suspicious, how can there be a coffee shop that does not open several times a year?

"Of course not, it was originally an ordinary house, I was looking for a suitable place to live, thinking that if I want to live for a long time, how can I meet my own preferences, so I looked on the Internet, I was looking at another place, but I happened to pass by here, I took a fancy at first sight, I think this place is really very in line with my requirements, although it is hidden in the center of the city but it is not easy to find, there are many buildings around, but the wall completely separates the neighbors, none of them need to pass through the door of our building, the privacy is very strong, I like this kind of seclusion hidden in the city, and I also like this ancient neighborhood, the ivy hanging on the fence and the nice little flowers planted in the sink....."

Cheng Mo thought that he would have to walk through a winding alley to enter here, and this building is located at a corner of the alley, which is a place where it is difficult for people to pass by, so it will take more chance to pass here, Cheng Mo said suspiciously: "You must not have passed by here by chance, you must have found the wrong place and got lost, right?"

Xie Minyun didn't expect Cheng Mo to see the truth of the facts at once, blushed slightly, and said stubbornly: "How is it possible, I just happened to pass by!"

Cheng Mo nodded, and said seriously: "It can indeed be regarded as an accident." ”

Xie Minyun snorted lightly and said, "What do you mean! I said that if you don't get lost, you won't get lost!"

Cheng Mo was about to open his mouth to dismantle Xie Minyun, but he heard Xie Minyun sneer: "Did you not sleep enough in the attic, and you still want to sleep in the attic tonight?"

Cheng Mo was speechless, yesterday Xie Minyun had a brainteaser problem unreasonably, Cheng Mo has never been good at answering this kind of question that cannot be answered by rational logic reasoning, and he can only sleep in the attic after answering incorrectly. In fact, there is nothing wrong with sleeping in the attic, but it is naturally better to be able to sleep with Xie Minyun.

It's not that Cheng Mo has any obscene thoughts, but because it's safer to sleep with Xie Minyun. Therefore, Cheng Mo rationally changed the topic and asked: "Then why do you want to open a coffee shop? and prepare the raw materials for making milk tea? I don't think you like to drink milk tea much!"

"Every girl has a dream of opening a coffee shop!" Xie Minyun said while washing the cups, "It doesn't need to be big, but it needs to be in the city you like, you don't need to decorate it luxuriously, you just need to have a floor-to-ceiling window to let the sunlight shine gently, and you don't need too many customers to patronize, as long as there is melodious music, comfortable chairs, mellow coffee and endless books, and the scenery that can relax your eyes..."

"Uh.... I don't think you should be a literary youth, your dream should be grandiose, and it is right to change the world. ”

Xie Minyun felt that Cheng Mo knew herself too well, and it seemed a little difficult to get by, but she wouldn't admit that she opened a café called "21/22", looking forward to meeting someone unexpectedly, she pretended to be indifferent and said: "The two are not in conflict, I just think that everything here is very consistent, and it would be too wasteful not to open a coffee shop, so I can make the best use of it..... Also, I like to drink milk tea, anyway, I'm not afraid of being unhealthy now, I can drink it if I want....."

"Okay! Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's just that I'm curious, have you ever sold a cup of milk tea?" ”

"Mr. Cheng, please stop talking nonsense and work hard, not only do you have to wipe the table clean today, but you also have to mop the floor, wipe the stairs, sweep the toilet, ....."

"Can I pay someone to do it?" Cheng Mo said with a stunned expression.

"I'm a cleanliness woman, so I don't want strangers to come to my house to clean up for me!" Xie Minyun said lightly.

Cheng Mo didn't dare to continue to speak, so he could only speed up the movements in his hands.

The two of them worked hard all morning, and finally cleaned up the entire café with a new look, originally Cheng Mo felt that it was pointless to do this kind of thing, it was purely a waste of time, but he really did it, and Xie Minyun chatted with each other while cooperating in cleaning, and felt that time flew by.

There is also a small yard at the back of the house, which was originally full of flowers, but Xie Minyun didn't have time to take care of it, and now it has been crawled with vines and grasses, and the vitality of the vines is amazing, and it is very troublesome to clean up. The two of them discussed for a while, gave up the plan to go out to visit Trajan's Bazaar in the afternoon, ate something casually at noon, and took tools to cut through the thorns and thorns in the yard, until the sun set, the whole yard was cleaned up and clean.

Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun have never done such heavy work since they were children, plus the work that others have to complete in a few days, the two of them can finish it in half a day, so that Cheng Mo's strengthened body is a little unbearable, tired and sweaty, with back pain.

Seeing that the task was finally completed, Cheng Mo straightened up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xie Minyun is not an ordinary person, and he doesn't feel as tired as Cheng Mo, but seeing that Cheng Mo's face was full of water and his glasses slipped off, he took off the labor protection gloves on his hand and went to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe Cheng Mo's sweat.

Winter in Rome is not cold, after high-intensity labor, the evening breeze blows through the body but a burst of comfort, two people stand in the courtyard shoulder to shoulder shoulder across the wall to watch the red sunset, the atmosphere is warm and sweet.

Cheng Mo suddenly felt that labor was not such a hard thing, and thought: "This is probably the true meaning of men and women working together without getting tired!"

"What should we plant in the yard?" Xie Minyun asked.

"See you like it. Cheng Mo said.

"It's not my place, and it can't be all to my liking. ”

"This is a pre-marital property, right?"

"I think you don't even sleep in the attic tonight, it's better to sleep directly on the street. ”

Cheng Mo pushed down his glasses and said, "I really don't know what to plant, I really don't have any research on garden landscapes." ”

Xie Minyun turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and said softly, "Don't you like trees? Let's plant two trees here!"

"Not a bad idea, it's a good idea to plant trees. Not to mention that flowers are more troublesome to plant, if you are not careful, they will die, and you will not be able to plant trees, and you don't need to take care of them, and you don't even need water..... It's a good fit. ”

Xie Minyun raised his hand and pushed Cheng Mo, and said angrily: "Why do you only consider everything from the perspective of pros and cons?"

Cheng Mo was a little confused, looked at Xie Minyun inexplicably and said, "This.... What's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong!" Xie Minyun said angrily.

Cheng Mo scratched his hair and asked puzzledly, "Then what should I think about?"

"Of course it's a liking and aesthetically pleasing angle!"

Cheng Mo smiled bitterly and said, "If it's beautiful, it's better to plant flowers.....

"Say choose your favorite ......"

Cheng Mo looked at the yard and pondered for a moment and said: "Then plant two Italian cypress trees, this kind of tree is very straight, and the branches will not grow randomly, our yard is not big, it is best to plant this kind of tree, and when they grow up, you can tie a hammock in the middle....."

Xie Minyun said with great interest: "Then let's go buy saplings tomorrow." ”

After deciding what tree to plant, Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun went back to their room to take a shower and change clothes, went to II Convivio Troiani on the bank of the Tiber River to enjoy food, and then walked on the Tiber River planted with French plane trees, where there are fewer tourists, the shops along the street retain the atmosphere of Roman life, until the Tiber River bank area, the commercial atmosphere of the tourist city is strong, many street performers perform on the bank, and a sense of leisure and relaxation is permeated in the air.

The two of them did not linger too much on the Tiber River, and after a while of strolling, they returned to 21/22 to review their homework, and when they arrived at eleven o'clock, they activated the carrier set up in the Colosseum and began their gladiatorial training.

For Cheng Mo, it was another night of domestic violence.

The next day, Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun went to the flower market on the outskirts of the city to buy Italian cypress trees and plant them in the yard, Cheng Mo carved Xie Minyun's name on the trunk of the Italian cypress tree on the right, and Xie Minyun carved Cheng Mo's name on the trunk of the Italian cypress tree on the left.

Just romance can't avoid the occurrence of "domestic violence.......

Cheng Mo's days went back and forth between the two heavens of ice and fire, and a week passed in a blink of an eye, early in the morning of November 30, Cheng Mo was still sorting out the contents of the records of the past two years in the attic, and he heard the glass door on the first floor being slammed, which is a rare thing for a café where few people pass by.

Soon Cheng Mo heard the sound of Xie Minyun going downstairs to open the door, and then the sound of dialogue sounded downstairs, Cheng Mo didn't care, thinking that the conversation would end soon, but he didn't expect it to end, but it didn't stop, Cheng Mo hesitated, or went downstairs, and just arrived on the first floor, he saw a fashionable girl with blonde hair and a sexy figure standing in front of the bar and talking to Xie Minyun.

Cheng Mo had met this beautiful blonde on the banks of the Seine, and she was none other than Napoleon VII's sister, Dava Beatrice Caroline Louise Napoleon.

"Shiyer, you closed the shop this time, but it was closed for a long time, and you didn't say a word when you came back, if it wasn't for my brother telling me that I met you in Rome, I wouldn't have known! You are a little too unfriendly!" After a pause, the blonde said: "Do you know that I haven't been able to drink your milk tea for a long time, and I can't even sleep well every day." By the way, and Camille, she talks about your milk tea every day..... What's it called..... Anyway, the most important thing now is to give me a drink....."

"I'm sorry, Dava, but I have a very important thing to do when I return to China.... And I've said before that I'm just interested in opening a store, and you can't expect anything from me. Xie Minyun glanced at Cheng Mo, who was going downstairs, and whispered.

"I know, of course I do!" Daeva waved her hands, "but that doesn't stop me from missing you, and your milk tea..... You know, I'm tired of coffee in comparison, especially Rome, which is the birthplace of coffee culture, but when I walk into any coffee shop, I get the same cup of coffee that Schultz [Starbucks founder] drank thirty years ago.... OMG, Starbucks coffee is hard enough.... Rome's coffee shops could be worse..... You have to hurry up and bring me a cup of milk tea to satisfy my picky mouth....."

"Wait.... Daiwa, let me introduce you first, this is Cheng Mo, you have seen it. Xie Minyun waved his hand at Cheng Mo, who was standing on the side of the stairs.

Wearing a pink Adeline André haute couture coat, Daeva turned her head to look at Cheng Mo, recalled it for a moment before she said with a surprised face: "It turned out to be you..... We had coffee together by the Seine..... And my brother ......"

Cheng Mo nodded and said in French, "Long time no see." ”

Looking up and down at Cheng Mo, Dai Wa seemed to see through something, and suddenly exclaimed: "My God, Shier..... You two can't be in a relationship, are you?"

Xie Minyun smiled and shook his head: "No." ”
