adriatic bride

The author has something to say: According to the translation of the book, it is written as "Murad Island", but in fact I suspect it is "Brad Island".

Everything is based on the books I read, so maybe there are some translation errors... If you think there are any problems, please bring them up~Thank you~

Looking around, it looks like a city floating on the water, with high towers, white domes, and palace-like arches... and the sun caresses them gently, like an exotic dream.

"Wow! This kind of scene can only be seen in movies!" Dong Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

"Movie?"

"The old movie that brought this city to the screen is called "Travel Love"!" Dongcheng talked excitedly, and she was really moved to see the same scenery in the movie.

"What? Isn't that a romance classic?" The blond guide had also seen this movie, and asked tentatively, if it was the same one.

"But is that kind of love possible?" Dong Cheng's tone suddenly dropped a little.

After hearing her words, the young man just turned his head and smiled, as if to say: I know the answer.

I still go back to the hotel today.

After the waiter helped her carry her luggage—a black box half as tall as her to the room, the young man stood at the foot of the steps and said to her, "Let's go to the island tomorrow! I'll be your guide." Have you already become her guide...

"Huh?" Dongcheng turned around and found that he hadn't left yet: "Ah! No need." She felt a little sorry for this kind man who had troubled him for so long, and at the same time worried.

This guy is quintessentially Italian (meaning his hospitality) ah... no, watch out!

She wanted to refuse, but his help was very sincere... Let's forget about it today, I should thank him well——

"This is a tip!" She stuffed two Italian banknotes into his hand.She really regarded him as a "professional guide."

"It doesn't take so much!" He wanted to call her back to return the money, after all, he was the one who proposed to be the guide.

"It's okay, that's it! Goodbye!" Without turning her head, she waved back and hurried into the hotel gate, leaving the young man alone.

From a distance, he thought for a while and put away the money.

In the room on the third floor, Dongcheng said to himself while picking up his luggage: "It's so strange! I complained about tipping too much!"

From the window here, you can still see Murad Island opposite, and the white dome has been darkened by the night dyed city.O this city!

Finally came here, but I'm a little tired.

Where is the Japanese father now?

Dongcheng thought.

The moon is crooked and bright.

I'm sorry, but don't worry, I'm different from my mother, it's okay.

Maybe she insisted on coming here alone, but now she feels tired without knowing the result.Almost disappointed at first.This exotic country, this strange carnival, and this enthusiastic blond man.

She looked down at the street.Unexpectedly, five clowns dressed in carnival costumes wandered to a place where there were few pedestrians. Everything they passed seemed to be illuminated by the moonlight.

But it still looks like the scene in the movie, the street as if frozen in time... The mother 20 years ago saw the same scene, right?

Suddenly a passerby on the slate path caught her attention. She opened the curtains and looked carefully. It turned out to be... a black-haired woman in ordinary clothes, holding a map and looking around in bewilderment.She didn't know which way to go in order to get to the place she thought of.

Japanese tourists?Are you lost?what to do?Shout out?

Dongcheng hesitated.Maybe a woman who is also Japanese...

"Branasera!" said a voice speaking Italian.It seemed to be greeting the woman.It turned out to be another native Italian man. "Checosaha?"

"Divesiamo?"

It seems that the woman knows Italian...

"..."

Watching the man walking towards a gravel road together under the guidance of the man.

Just walking away with strangers...it's really worrying. "It's just a guide!" She was worried and wanted to think about the good.

But... She put away her gaze, and as soon as she closed the curtains, she remembered: Why are these Italians so enthusiastic?

Before going to bed, Dongcheng was still wondering.During the day, the man's smiling face emerged, why...it's unbelievable!

Early in the morning, she saw that man before she went down the stairs...

"Hi!" He raised his hand to say hello, but he was dressed more formally than yesterday: white jacket, white vest, white turtleneck T-shirt, and brown trousers.His greeting showed his enthusiasm for Dongcheng.His appearance like this was very dazzling and surprising to Dongcheng.

"You were the one from yesterday..." She couldn't help herself.The person who looked like an unemployed youth from yesterday would stand here so early today, still dressed so neatly, even said——a little dazzling...she almost couldn't recognize him.

"Is it Shangdao? I'm familiar with it." He didn't care about Dongcheng's reaction.With a smile all over his face, he followed her closely, like——just like a real guide.However, at a loss, he is now a guide, the guide of a young Japanese lady.

"I said no need, but you still came." She seemed to be worried, maybe yesterday's problem bothered her?

A beautiful white silk scarf was wrapped around her neck.

"What's this?" she asked puzzled, and he had already tied the silk scarf around her high black neckline into a big bow.

Now the young man smiled with satisfaction: "The gift from Tip yesterday. Ah! It's very suitable!"

Does it fit?The white silk scarf and black clothes seem to be very suitable.

"I...I don't want it!" She stroked the silk scarf, feeling that she shouldn't accept his things, they were always bought with the tips she paid to the young man.But the Italian guide seemed to turn a deaf ear to it: "A foolish Japanese tourist like you is easy to be deceived!" He put his face close to Dong Cheng's shoulder, with a persuasive look, which made Dong Cheng stunned for a while.

"thank you for your help!"

"Okay! That's it!"

She meant "thank you, but I don't need your help", but she said it generously as "promise".

He planned to ignore him and walk away, but he still followed behind: "Hire me for 10 lire a day; give me something in return, this is human nature!"

At this time, all she had in mind was "!"

This guy pulled the two things together... Dongcheng couldn't say a word to refute.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the pier.He rushed forward and said: "The boat to Murad Island is about to leave!" Then he grabbed her hand and said, "Quick!" Dongcheng's expression changed with the situation, and his mouth was too late to say anything.

Safe on base!

Catch up with the boat.It seems that many tourists go to Murad.The two stood against the railing.

"You're too strong!" Dongcheng rubbed his wrists and glared at the slender man complainingly.He no longer cared about his refusal to follow him.

"Contract established?" He asked with a smile.Looks like it's ok.

"Then tell me your name!" he asked proactively.He often faces Dongcheng with such an exaggerated and joking expression.

"Dongcheng Shaji..." Dongcheng said it cautiously.After all, he is a foreigner, and his enthusiasm is a little... weird.

"My name is Andro." The blond-haired Andro introduced his name concisely with a very formal expression.

She finally knew the man's name.

Looking at this man, she gradually brought the name "Andro" together with the person in front of her.Finally, the guy looks like...

"The black-clothed devil and... the white-clothed angel Andro! Or, two angels?" This kind of attire, coupled with such enthusiastic help, compared with the haze in his memory... Dongcheng couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. !

"It's your first time laughing! That's so cute!" Andro pulled her shoulders with that exaggerated expression again, expressing his love for her, and kissed her hair.

The result was a matter of course—he was immediately pushed away by Dong Cheng: "What are you doing!"

Although Dongcheng frowned, his face couldn't help turning red.This guy actually didn't make people feel so annoying, and even made her feel very happy... The gloomy mood of more than a month seemed to be swept away by this exaggerated man!

Andro still smiled heartily.

This Italian man named Andro!

………………

"Is that earring that important?"

"Well, this is my mother's relic."

20 years ago, when she was traveling to Italy after graduating from her junior high school...during the three days she stayed here, an Italian man gave it to her.These are all heard from her friends at the mother's funeral... It's like the plot in "Travelling", the hero chases the train and gives the gift to the heroine...

"Could it be that you are here to find that man? Can you find the man 20 years ago with only one earring?" Andro said worriedly, with a worried look on his brows for the first time.Seeing Andro like this... Even Dongcheng himself was shaken.For this question, Dongcheng himself could not answer it.Anyway, here we are.I can only move forward...

Dongcheng suddenly noticed Andro lowering his head and laughing, he was puzzled: "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm ridiculous?! But I'm really restless!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Andro raised his head, letting Dongcheng see his smile was "sincere": "I thought it was just a great trip, so there was such a purpose. Don't worry, I will definitely help you Find your mother's lover!"

Dongcheng opened his eyes wide.She didn't dare to expect people other than herself to understand this matter, but Andro believed it and expressed his willingness to help her!
