Very Pure and Ambiguous: The Prequel

Although the boat is not big, it is more than enough for the four of us plus Mark.

Since we were all very familiar with each other, the atmosphere was not so awkward, but rather harmonious. When the boat passed under the Bridge of Sighs, Yang Mei closed her eyes involuntarily, as if expecting this sacred moment to come.

Philip and Sanlika beside me have already entered the state. I have to admit that Europeans are very open-minded. I looked at Yang Mei, who looked nervous and very expectant, and couldn't help but smile, and gently kissed her full lips...

Suddenly, in my ears, the bells of St. Mark’s Church rang! It turns out that it’s already nine o’clock in the evening!

Just as the bell rang, Yang Mei also opened her eyes: "The bell, I actually heard the bell! God is also helping us!"

Yang Mei's voice was a little excited, but I knew that this was what Yang Mei really expected, just like a person sinking in the water, grabbing a life-saving straw!

Although I am confident that Yang Mei's disease can be cured, at this moment I still want to make Yang Mei feel more at ease mentally, so I said: "Yes, it seems that this legend may be true!"

At this time, the bell had rung six or seven times, and it was about to end. Only then did Yang Mei realize that she was about to miss it. Looking at Philip and Sanlika kissing passionately, Yang Mei immediately became anxious. , not caring about the image of a lady, for fear of missing the bell, she actually took the initiative to kiss me!

I was forced to kiss! After being stunned for a short time, I began to respond enthusiastically to Yang Mei. Girls can be so bold, what should I be afraid of! Although Yang Mei acted so boldly because she was afraid that the bell would end.

This is the first time that Yang Mei and I have such close contact, but we seem to have a tacit understanding with each other. Not only are our movements not unfamiliar, but they are as if they should be...

The bell ended, and Yang Mei and I still hugged each other selflessly, until I realized something was wrong first, and quickly looked to the side, and found that Philip and Sanlika were both looking at us with smiles on their faces. Then he quickly patted Yang Mei and whispered: "There is someone here now. Let's go back to the hotel in the evening and continue..."

"Ah!" Yang Mei was startled and quickly broke away from my arms. Only then did she realize that she was not in her room, but in public, and there were friends around her. Yang Mei was embarrassed to wash her hands with her. He straightened his messy hair and said to Sanlika and the others: "I'm sorry. Haha!"

"It doesn't matter, I didn't expect you Orientals to be more open-minded than us, haha!" Sanlika said with a smile.

"I hate it, stop making fun of us!" Yang Mei said awkwardly.

After landing, I invited Philip and Sanlika to have dinner together, but unfortunately, they had already eaten, so I made an appointment with them to hang out together tomorrow and left each other's contact information.

I asked Mark to take them back to their place of residence, it turned out. They just stayed in a cheap private B\u0026B. Although I had the money to move them to a better place, doing so would hurt Philip's pride and they wouldn't accept it.

We met by chance, we just hit it off, so I didn't force it.

When Yang Mei and I returned to St. Mark's Square hand in hand, we saw Yang Xiong and Li Xiaohong sitting on the stone steps beside the square to rest. Yang Mei was embarrassed and wanted to throw me away and hold her hand. , but how can I let her succeed. Now that it has been decided. Then we should be together openly, not to mention that Yang Xiong and Li Xiaohong do not object to our affairs.

Seeing that she couldn't let go, Yang Mei stopped insisting. She hesitated for a moment, and suddenly the relationship with me became closer. I think she has also made up her mind.

Li Xiaohong obviously saw the changes between Yang Mei and me, and was very pleased, even though she knew that her daughter's time was running out. But if I can be with Yang Mei, Yang Mei will be very happy. Moreover, Li Xiaohong also has a selfish intention, that is, if Yang Mei and I are together, even if Yang Min leaves in the future, I will never leave them alone. !

"Dad, Mom, shall we go to eat? I'm so hungry!" Yang Mei was obviously in a good mood.

"Of course it's good, but I have to wait a moment, I have something else to do." Yang Xiong naturally understood why his daughter was in a good mood. So he smiled kindly.

"Is there anything else? What's the matter?" Yang Mei asked strangely.

"Haha, you'll know right away... No, he's already here!" Yang Xiong stood up and pointed in the direction behind us.

"What?" Yang Mei turned around strangely.

I

Confused, he looked behind him and saw a young man carrying a camera getting angry, and then handed a package of things to Yang Xiong: "The developed photos and digital negatives are all in here, sir."

"Okay, thank you!" Yang Xiong smiled and took the package.

"My business card is also inside. If you have anything, just contact me directly!" The young man waved goodbye to Yang Xiong.

After the young man left, Yang Mei asked curiously: "Picture? Did you and my mother just shoot it?"

"Yes, it's a photo. It was developed as soon as it was taken. The efficiency here is very fast!" Yang Xiong said with a smile.

"Ah, show me, I want to see it." Yang Mei said and reached for the package of photos.

"Okay, aren't you hungry? Let's find a restaurant first. Then you can eat and watch at the same time. It's hard to see clearly in the dark now!" Yang Xiong said.

Yang Mei thought it right, so she nodded in agreement.

The most famous food in Italy is (pizza) and pizza. In the past few days, Yang Mei’s family had eaten at a nearby fast food restaurant and had never officially tasted an Italian meal, so I suggested going to a larger restaurant. Try the specialties in the restaurants!

My proposal was immediately approved by everyone, so we walked along the side streets of St. Mark's Square towards the city center.

There are many restaurants in Italy, which can be roughly divided into formal restaurants, fast food restaurants and buffet restaurants. In big cities such as Rome and Milan, each city has thousands of restaurants of various sizes. There are also many restaurants in Venice. Despite the small population here, many Europeans and Americans are not used to having fires at home, and eating in restaurants has become a lifestyle habit.

There are many fast-food restaurants in the city center, but there are relatively few formal restaurants, but few does not mean there are none. We walked not far and found a more orthodox Italian restaurant.

The Chinese believe that "food is the most important thing for the people", while the Italians believe that "eating is a kind of enjoyment". This indirectly proves that Italy is also a country that pays great attention to food.

Although the decoration inside the restaurant is not very luxurious, it is very elegant, and the dishes on the menu gave Yang Mei and me an inexplicable sense of belonging!

The recommended dishes of this restaurant are actually noodles and dumplings!

"There are actually dumplings here, how strange!" Yang Mei said curiously.

Although I am also very strange, I have already been strange once in my previous life, and I also made a detailed investigation, so I have a better understanding of the reason, so I explained to Yang Mei: "The Italians are actually very different from the Eastern people in terms of food culture. People have some similarities. For example, we like to eat noodles and dumplings, and Italians also like to eat noodles and dumplings. People from the Northeast especially like to eat rice, while people from the north of Italy also like to eat a kind of rice called "lisotto". Rice. It is said that Italian noodles and dumplings were introduced to Venice from us by Marco Polo, and they became popular in Italy later!"

"Ah, so that's it. Then aren't we just like eating food from home?" Yang Mei said in surprise after hearing this.

"Actually, this is also a legend. No one can tell what it is like! But the cooking method and taste of Italian dumplings and noodles are very different from those here, so it’s not a bad idea to try them. In fact, the two countries have The most fundamental reason for being so far apart and having so many similarities in terms of food culture and other aspects is that the two countries are geographically close in latitude. This is the key point!" I said.

"Then can we just order a little of everything?" Yang Mei looked at the dazzling menu and didn't know where to start.

"Of course. Let's talk to the waiter and see if we can make a small portion." I nodded.

Europeans and Americans despise extravagance and waste. When the waiter conveyed my request to the restaurant owner, the boss saw that I was a tourist from out of town who wanted to taste the local specialties, so he readily agreed. In this way, not only will we not waste food, but we will also get what we want. The most important thing is that he will also make money, so why not do it.
