[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona

There is a café in front of the Barcelona School of Architecture.Although the design is hard to say that it is worthy of the prime location at the entrance of the architecture school, with the large number of seats and the discount on coffee, the place is brightly lit all night at the end of each period, and it is crowded with students who are crazy about drawing.

By this time the semester was over and the cafe was full of students celebrating the start of spring break.The owner offers alcoholic beverage specials, colorful cocktails are splashed everywhere with the crisp clink of glasses, and everyone is talking about where to spend the holidays.

Antonio pushed open the glass door and walked straight towards the southeast corner.It was his all-time favorite spot away from the crowd and near the window.

He likes to sit behind the window and observe the buildings outside and all kinds of people from different angles. If the city is an oyster that breeds pearls, then the buildings are the oyster shells outside, and the soul inside is the life that creates miracles. .

He turned around the decorative cabinet with turquoise spider plants, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

There was someone in his former exclusive position.

A young man with a shiny back hair and a meticulous black dress held a cocktail glass in a high spirited manner. A group of classmates surrounded him and were scrambling to clink glasses with him.

It was Boaba Abano, three grades above him, the only son of José Abano, Barcelona's most famous architect.

Boaba seemed to have been watching this direction with his peripheral vision for a long time.As soon as Antonio's figure appeared, he raised his hand gracefully, stopping everyone's compliments.

Afterwards, he turned his head shyly and raised his cocktail glass to the indifferent visitor: "Hey, Antonio, good afternoon. I heard that you failed the exam, I'm sorry."

"I'm even more sorry!" Someone immediately followed up with a smile.

"Don't rob anyone, I'm most sorry! Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Boaba scowled, "Don't be like this, I really feel sorry."

Antonio thought it was a little funny.All of these classmates are older than him, but unfortunately they always like the tricks of younger children.

This little fact is not a big deal, the favorite place has been taken, just change to another cafe.He is ready to go.

Boaba frowned, and quickly raised his voice: "Wait! I have something to tell you!"

"The Catalan Youth Architectural Design Grand Prix will start soon, with a prize of 100 million competition towers! My dad has already recommended me to participate, so that I don't have to take up three places in the school."

It's as if he can occupy it if he wants to.Antonio was a little amused in his heart, and quietly watched what he was trying to tell.

Seeing that Antonio seemed to be attracted by the news, Boaba couldn't help but secretly delighted.

"I think if you enter the competition, you will definitely have a good chance of winning! But there is a hard condition for the competition, that is, there must be an actual construction project, and you can't just stay on the drawing."

"Antonio, can you get the project before July?" Boaba thought, his tone sounded extremely sincere.

Before Antonio could answer, a classmate laughed out loud, and said in a strange way: "Boaba, you are so confused! Only students above the fourth grade can participate in the project, and only those above the sixth grade can independently host the project. Have you forgotten?"

"And this is for the top students. Do you think any client would want to find a student who failed a course?" There was another burst of laughter.

Boaba showed an apologetic smile: "Hey, I really didn't think carefully, I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable."

Antonio raised his eyebrows slightly.

In fact, this farcical scene was quite interesting. Not only was he not uncomfortable watching it, but he was also very happy.

Afterwards, Boaba followed closely: "However, I believe in your strength. I just received an invitation from Baron Demo to remodel the roof terrace of his house."

He stared into the boy's eyes: "Mr. Gaudi, I invite you to join my project."

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.Many people stared at Boaba in disbelief—

What are you doing? !They complimented him here for a long time, just to grab a chance to join his project!

He used them as gunmen, but he took this opportunity to be a good person and invited his juniors who were three years younger than them to join the project!

Until then, Antonio finally showed a trace of astonishment.

Boaba is his old friend—except for the introductory basic theory, other courses are optional courses for all grades.In the few classes where attendance wasn't much of a concern, Boaba and him always got the top marks.

Probably because of this reason, Boaba will always show against him from time to time.

But now he actually invited himself to join the project? !

It has to be said that this is an attractive invitation.

Although he scoffed at the rules, the classmate just now was right. It was almost impossible for him to participate in practical projects when he was only in the third grade, so he missed the competition.

Although Boaba is a bit of a nuisance, what's wrong with a building that is so cute?

Antonio hesitated a little.

Boaba didn't care about the strangeness around him at all, but stared at his junior without blinking, even a little nervous in his eyes.Seeing that his junior seemed to be tempted by his proposal, he let out a sigh of relief.

A few days ago, he copied a piece of Gaudi's work and took it home, but his father saw it and hugged him excitedly: "Good boy! This design is really not bad, I will recommend you to participate in the Design Grand Prix Yes. I believe you will perform well! Dad is proud of you."

At that time, Boaba couldn't believe his ears—in his impression, his father was always strict and domineering, and even though he often got the highest grades in the class, it seemed that he would never be satisfied.His father had never praised him like this before, only indifference, scolding and deep disappointment.

At that moment, he clearly realized two things——

He will never be able to tell his father that this is actually the work of his junior three years younger.

And, he must bring Gaudi into his project.

Antonio thought it over.He intends to say yes.

Just when he was about to say "yes", two figures walked over together.One is an adaptation student at the cafe, "This lady wants to find someone."

The other is a girl in an ivory white moire silk dress, her gestures are elegant, and she can tell that she is of extraordinary background.She nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm here to find my chief architect."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Oh, it's Boaba's client.After all, he is the only person here who has the qualifications to lead a project independently and has indeed found a client.

It turned out to be such a young and beautiful lady!Boaba's luck is truly enviable.Didn't the seniors say that their benefactors are all bald middle-aged men with potbellies?

Sure enough, they are all big liars!

The noble lady smiled and glanced at the boys who were silent at this moment.A few shy teenagers even blushed and lowered their heads.

"Which one is Mr. Antonio Gaudi?"

who? !Everyone didn't react for a moment.

But Antonio reacted.

He didn't know what this ghostly girl was thinking at this time, so he turned around and nodded lightly: "It's me."

On Joey's face, the happy smile of the lively noble lady meeting the strange noble young master for the first time, her voice was like a silver bell: "Mr. Gaudi, we made an appointment to meet tomorrow to talk about the reconstruction plan of my house. But After I read your portfolio, I changed my mind and want to meet now."

"Your designs are amazing."

I have to say that the feeling of being a prophet is really cool.

"I dare to swear, you will become the greatest architect of this era, bar none."
