trip to rome

【I met you in the eternal city and fell in love with you before the gods】

The sun in southern Europe rises slowly on the sea level, bringing the enthusiasm and elegance unique to Italy.

It is because of this sunshine that crowns Rome with an indelible beauty.

"Jia, Jia, wake up, the sun is drying your ass"

A vigorous cry is like the warm sunshine.

"Hmm...that's not a good reason to wake up, Ling"

Lin Jia got up from the bed and let Ren Qiuling open the curtains, feeling the warmth gradually entering his heart.

"Sorry, Ka."

Ren Qiuling turned around and smiled at Lin Jia, and sat on the chair beside the bed, watching Lin Jia tidy up his clothes.

"Jia, where are we going to play?"

Being so energetic early in the morning, I am eager to wander the streets of Rome.

"Huh? There's a guidebook by the bed."

Lin Jiazheng stubbornly opened the suitcase to find clothes, and answered Ren Qiuling's question.

"Oh." Ren Qiuling picked it up and turned it over, and then fell into deep thought.

"The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary looks good, but the Colosseum is also very good."

Looking back at the distressed Ren Qiuling, Lin Jia smiled helplessly.

"It is true that Rome is the Colosseum, so go to the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary in the morning and the Colosseum in the afternoon."

"Eh, really?"

Ren Qiuling who was reminded looked at Lin Jia in front of him and asked.

"Of course, okay, let's go to breakfast, or the morning will pass like this."

Because the tickets had already been bought last night, Ren Qiuling and Lin Jia went directly to the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary after breakfast.

As a famous hanging church, as soon as you enter it, the breath of the Holy Spirit fills your face.Adorn the entire church with absolute splendor and prosperity.But the most fascinating thing is the thirteen pillars.

Among them is a pillar made of black basalt, which symbolizes Judas who betrayed Jesus.

The sinful man who betrayed the Son of God finally ended his filthy life by committing suicide. Even so, the world did not forgive him because of his atonement.His guilt is too great, no matter what kind of atonement, he will not be able to ascend to heaven.

When Lin Jia was staring at the distinctive pillar, Ren Qiuling beside him suddenly spoke.

"Jia, do you believe in God?"

It is extraordinarily comical to say this to a portrait of the Virgin Mary.

But Lin Jia could hear her lover's tone was different from usual.Looking at Ren Qiuling with black eyes not different from those of Europeans, he said slowly.

"God... I remember that I once read such a sentence, 'For those who believe in God, death is the door to eternal life.' It may not be important to never live forever. Maybe God is the soul of human beings."

"Really." Ren Qiuling quietly closed his eyes, then opened them again.

"Jia, my mother once told me that the so-called God is the existence of doing everything that human beings think is right."

Lin Jia felt her lover's gaze diverted from the portrait of Maria and stared at Ren Qiuling.

"Since this is the case, shouldn't we come here..."

Lin Jia was taken aback for a moment and finally felt her lover's uneasiness.Looking at myself in the gorgeous church, I couldn't help but smile.

"Jia, maybe God will not agree, but we will be together, right?"

Since God disagrees, don’t care about it. Since the world disagrees, let’s face it together.

Lin Jia and Ren Qiuling held hands tightly, feeling each other's warmth.In front of God, accept this little love that belongs to you.

"At least I will hold your hand tightly now and won't let go"

The so-called God is the existence that human beings hope to be affirmed by what they do.Since the world thinks we are wrong, neither will God.Or maybe we will only go to hell after death and not go to heaven.

But so what.If atonement is to be made, it remains after death.I love you, this is the most sacred thing in my life.

[It is a scar in Rome, and it is also the battlefield that I must go through to love you. 】

Historians have said that the Colosseum is a scar of Rome.

The golden sunlight shines unreservedly on the marble, reflecting the vicissitudes of history.

Finally squeezed through the noisy crowd, Ren Qiuling dragged Lin Jia and began to watch a great miracle in this world.

Compared with the magnificence of the Church of the Virgin Mary, the Colosseum truly reflects the history of Rome.Dilapidated, yet polished smooth.Only when you walk in can you find the stains on the marble, which is wonderful and sad.

"Ling, how much do you know about the Colosseum?"

Lin Jia looked at Ren Qiuling with gleaming eyes, and asked.

"I know this!"

Instead of showing embarrassing eyes like before, he was as positive as the child answered the question correctly.

"The Colosseum is a place in the ancient Roman Empire for slave owners, nobles and free people to watch beasts or slaves fight. They like this, they like to watch animals fight, they like to watch people fight animals, people fight people. The winning side Live and wait for someone who can kill him."

Lin Jia watched as the light in Ren Qiuling's eyes gradually dimmed.As if saying something sad.

Seeing Ren Qiuling like this, Lin Jia couldn't help laughing, and lightly patted her on the shoulder.

"So, will you be sad?"

"I will definitely." Ren Qiuling raised his eyes and stared at his lover

"I like something, but I have done such a thing, I will be sad and sad."

Startled by Ren Qiuling's serious gaze, Lin Jia shook her head helplessly.

"Ling, don't be sad, don't be sad."

Hearing what Lin Jia said, Ren Qiuling looked puzzled.

"This is his way of life. Only in this way can Rome have the meaning of his existence. Only in this way can Rome not be disgraced by the glory of Rome. What we need to do, Ling, is not to pity, but to understand, understand his glory, understand The filth of his glory. So, no matter what, in our hearts, Rome is Rome."

After talking a lot, Lin Jia took Ren Qiuling's hand again, waiting for her lover's response.

"Is that so... So, it's because I don't understand him?"

Ren Qiuling lowered his eyes in disappointment.

The moment he felt Lin Jia's body temperature, he suddenly became excited again.

"Jia, you know a lot. By the way, I've always wanted to ask, you are so young, you must have graduated from college not long ago."

Hearing Ren Qiuling's question, Lin Jia's body froze.But he still told Ren Qiuling.

"Me, I didn't actually go to college."

"Eh!"

As if he heard something extraordinary, Ren Qiuling was surprised.

"Yeah, I dropped out in the second year of high school, and then I have been working part-time. I am relatively lucky, and entered a small company."

"Eh……"

Ren Qiuling still couldn't recover from his surprise.

"However, I am very eager to go to college."

Lin Jia grasped Ren Qiuling's hand slightly, pulling Ren Qiuling's thoughts back.

"Eh, why?"

Ren Qiuling asked in confusion, after all, university is not a good place in her eyes.

"Ah, it was my teacher who told me that university is the best place in the world, where the sun will never set, where there will always be flowers and grass. And you will meet important people there."

Lin Jia smiled slightly thinking of that scene.

"However, the teacher also said that it is also very dangerous there. You need to be careful not to fall from the sky, fall into hell, and fall to pieces. Teacher, you just fell."

There was a faint look of pain in the black pupils.Seeing this, Ren Qiuling gently hugged Lin Jia.

"But, I still want to go to college."

Lin Jia felt her lover's body temperature and couldn't help but speak out.

But Ren Qiuling once again asked in a puzzled way.

"why?"

Lin Jia smiled, under the sunshine of southern Europe.

"Because in that case, I could meet you earlier and hold your hand earlier."

Seeing Lin Jia like this, Ren Qiuling couldn't help being stunned.

"In this case, when we go back, I will take you to see my university."

Ren Qiuling grabbed Lin Jia's hand and invited him.

"it is good."

I like wherever you are.

[I am the brightest star in the night, and I will always guard you. 】

After dinner, Lin Jia walked to the balcony and looked up at the sky above her head.

The starry sky here is not the same as in China, and you can clearly see the scene where the stars are twinkling.Like the ancients looking for constellations, they pointed to the stars in the sky with their fingers.

Ren Qiuling, who went out to buy fruit, saw this scene after a while.

Ren Qiuling took off his clothes and walked to Lin Jia's side.Watch the gorgeous starry sky with her.

Lin Jia felt her lover's body temperature and said.

"Ling, do you know that there is a myth in Greece that when a person dies, he will turn into a star and protect the person he loves the most forever in the sky."

Ren Qiuling tilted his head, listening to his lover's voice.

"Ling, if I die, you can look up at the night sky, where the brightest and biggest star will definitely be me."

Lin Jia held Ren Qiuling's hand and said his oath.

"Thank you, Ka"

Ren Qiuling hugged Lin Jia and narrated his love in her ear.

【We have held each other's hands

won't be separated again

There is already more of each other in our eyes

won't dissipate

To be able to hug you in the sun

i left the mundane

To be able to kiss you in the sun

I overturned my reason

I wove red thread out of our hair

I made it out of our pupils□□

I will always keep you in my heart

never let go

Falling in love with you is what was destined when I met you. 】
