Huadu.

The Arc de Triomphe, the Cathedral, and the Champs Elysees. Lu Xiaobei and Xiaoya take pictures every time they go to a scenic spot. Sometimes they will hire a local tour guide to explain it. After they have had enough, they will take a sightseeing bus to the next scenic spot.

The sightseeing bus in Huadu is a surprising discovery. Buy a ticket and you can sit for a whole day. The lower deck of the bus is relatively quiet, while the upper deck is open-air. In winter, the warm sun shines, and you can see many ancient buildings and see the life of the people in this city. The bus commentary has 12 languages to choose from, including Chinese. He told them where is the Love Palace and where is the place where Princess Diana died.

On the banks of the Seine, you can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. But they are not in a hurry to go to the Eiffel Tower, although this is the most famous building in Huadu, because the most gorgeous meal will be enjoyed at the end. They went to the Louvre first and entered from under the Inverted Pyramid. Here, Xiaoya felt Lu Xiaobei's profound knowledge again.

Lu Xiaobei can tell the allusions to any oil painting, from the age of the gods to the Renaissance. They also saw the Mona Lisa's smile, Venus with a broken arm, and the statue of the Goddess of Victory. No matter which work, it has witnessed the most splendid civilization of mankind, and it is a manifestation of the ultimate beauty.

At night, Xiaoya was waiting for a romantic candlelight dinner. After the waiter stepped down, their red wine glasses showed each other's affectionate smiles.

Xiaoya also offered Lu Xiaobei a "feast" that belonged to Lu Xiaobei in the later night.

The flower capital, the romantic capital, is the place that all lovers yearn for, and the embodiment of the dreams of all girls.

The happiest thing for me is to travel here with you.

A few days later, they went to the Versailles Palace in the suburbs, and waited under the Eiffel Tower for the tower lights to blink. Xiaoya leaned against Lu Xiaobei, "Many years ago, when we first met, I never thought that we would Together. After so many years, we will cross the ocean and come here."

Lu Xiaobei kissed her lover's temple, "Life is often full of unknowables. But I believe that no matter how many accidents happen, as long as we meet, we will belong to each other."

They kissed under the Eiffel Tower, they exchanged each other's breath and body fluids, their kisses were tender and lingering. They didn't part until the light of the tower went out.

After leaving Huadu, Lu Xiaobei took Xiaoya to Cologne by plane. After getting off the plane, they took the train to Cologne's main train station.

When they were still on the train, Xiaoya saw Cologne Cathedral. When she actually stepped on the ground of the square and looked up at the top of Cologne Cathedral, she exclaimed: "It's so grand and incredible!"

Lu Xiaobei: "There will be prayers in the church at night, do you want to participate?"

Xiaoya: "what do you do, sing the Bible?"

Lu Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, my grandfather brought me here before. He is a very devout believer. There will be a cardinal at the entrance of the church. If you tell him that you are not a believer, he will allow you to enter, and he will also allow you to enter. Lend you a Bible. But the prayer time is a little long, it takes 2 hours, and you need to kneel on the wooden board. If you want to leave in the middle, it will be disrespectful."

Xiaoya shook her head, "No, I'll just take a look here."

They bought tickets underground again and went up to the tower of Cologne Cathedral. The towers of Cologne Cathedral, like most towers in the world, are very narrow. There is no platform at the corners of the stairs, and even one person can only lean on his side and let the people above go down first.

Xiaoya walked very slowly, and the people behind couldn't pass them, and the line got longer and longer.

Lu Xiaobei asked, "What's the matter? We should walk faster, there are many people behind."

Xiaoya's hands trembled, "I'm afraid."

Lu Xiaobei: "Aren't you afraid of heights? Do you want me to go ahead?"

Xiaoya: "No, I'm afraid I'll fall on others. I'm not afraid of heights, but the stairs here are too steep."

Lu Xiaobei: "Aren't you afraid of falling on me?"

If this was a comic, three black lines would instantly appear on Lu Xiaobei's forehead.

Xiaoya: "Although I know it's unreasonable, I always feel that you can catch me." Very well, Xiaoya really regards Lu Xiaobei as a superman in the comics.

Lu Xiaobei held Xiaoya's hand and asked her, "Is this any better?"

Xiaoya said: "It's better." Maybe it was because she thought of Lu Xiaobei by her side, or because people's adaptability was too strong, Xiaoya seemed to gradually overcome the psychological obstacles, not only was she no longer slow, but it could be said that She was walking fast, but Lu Xiaobei couldn't keep up with her. She really doubted that Xiaoya was trying to win back a city.

When Lu Xiaobei and Xiaoya climbed to the top of the tower, the whole of Cologne was displayed in front of them, with an unobstructed view, from the slowly flowing Rhine River to the quietly standing Hohenzollern Bridge, from the ancient Great St. From the church to the modern chocolate museum, Xiaoya can even see the open-air beer stand on the ancient market square.

On weekends, people in Potato Country like to hold a big beer mug that can’t be held in both hands, and drink and chat. When the sun is shining, the outdoor is a better choice. They were lively and lively, passing on their cheerful mood to everyone who saw this scene.

Xiaoya smiled and said, "it's great here! No wonder you like it here."

Lu Xiaobei stood beside her, "I like it here, not because of the scenery here." In Xiaoya's puzzled eyes, Lu Xiaobei told her, "This is where my grandmother and grandfather spent their honeymoon. Cologne and windmills The country is very close, and we can take the train tomorrow and go back to the village in just two hours. A few decades ago, people who didn’t have much money to go abroad liked to come here to play.”

Xiaoya: "Then there are still memories of your grandparents here?"

Lu Xiaobei: "Yes, they have been in love for decades. When they were on their honeymoon, my grandmother was young and she liked chocolate cake very much. Although my grandfather was not good at cooking, he deliberately learned this. Grandpa's chocolate The cake was amazing, and he asked me if you liked it, and I said yes. You'll be able to taste it by Christmas."

Xiaoya: "Wow?!"

Lu Xiaobei: "My grandmother is very pretty. She has a lot of cosmetics there. If you want to learn makeup, she will be happy to teach you. Or, if you want, she can go shopping with you, she will be the best Staff."

Xiaoya covered her ears, "don't tempt me, I said, I will go home with you at Christmas."

"No, that's not what I want to say." Lu Xiaobei said with a smile: "Since they got married, they will go for a walk together every evening, no matter if the day is happy or unhappy; whether it is sweet or not They're never really mad at each other. My parents had an unhappy marriage, but they taught me what a happy marriage is like."

"I hope 50 years from now, we'll be like them."

Xiaoya put her hands over her ears early, she said with a smile, "Yes." Then she pestered Lu Xiaobei and asked, "Then what does this have to do with love locks?" She didn't forget that Lu Xiaobei mentioned earlier When I arrived in Cologne, I said love locks.

Lu Xiaobei didn't give a shit, just took out a small delicate lock from his backpack with the names of Yu Xiaoya and Lu Xiaobei on it.

The lock is a nice red body with a matching key inserted underneath.

Xiaoya stroked the notch on the lock with her fingers and wondered, "the lettering on this lock is a bit ugly and crooked."

Xiaoya raised her head and saw Lu Xiaobei raised her eyebrows to look at her. She asked, "You didn't carve this, did you?"

Lu Xiaobei: "What do you think?"

Xiaoya hugged her flatteringly, "In my opinion, you are omnipotent. I thought you were good at everything. Of course, it's the first time you can carve so well, and it's amazing. "

Lu Xiaobei... Lu Xiaobei decided not to tell her that she had thrown away two uglier ones before.

Lu Xiaobei: "Every family has its traditions. My family's tradition is love locks. Because my father and mother's marriage was not blessed and they didn't think it was important, they skipped this step. It was Cologne that my grandfather brought my grandmother, and they left their love locks here."

Xiaoya helped Lu Xiaobei finish the next words, "So, our love lock will also stay here."

Lu Xiaobei: "Yes, are you willing, no matter what happens in the future, let me be your only partner in life until death separates us?"

Xiaoya: "I will."

After Lu Xiaobei and Xiaoya left the tower of Cologne Cathedral, they walked to the Hohenzollern Bridge not far away. There are many locks on the Hohenzollern bridge, and many messages written with markers.

The wind on the Rhine was a bit strong that day, but it was not enough to stop their warm hearts. Xiaoya chose a place, and Lu Xiaobei locked their love lock.

Xiaoya took a photo of the lock engraved with their names.

Lu Xiaobei said to her, "It's enough that you know in your heart that it's here."

Xiaoya smiled but said nothing.

Lu Xiaobei and Xiaoya threw the only key into the Rhine, and no one would open their lock again.

They believe that this lock will lock love, lock time, forever.
