It is a paradise of coffee. Italians drink [-] cups of coffee a day on average. When we travel to Europe, how about getting drunk in an Italian coffee shop? "I said.

"Well, when the businessman makes money, he will take his wife there." She tapped the table lightly with her fingers.

The sun jumped through the dense leaves outside, peeked in from the window, and kissed her fingers.

"This is the perfect place for a date, the perfect place for a date," I said.

"Well. I'm going to make it a festival." Pei Fei smiled slightly, her face starting to turn red.

"festival?"

"My birthday is in spring, your birthday is in autumn, Christmas is in winter, and there is a summer festival missing."

"What holiday are you going to make it for?" I studied her eyes.

"Well..." She trembled her eyelashes, "It's our ** festival. July 7st, we come here once a year."

"Pei Fei."

"Ah."

"Do you like the simple and primitive old street, or the fashionable and modern coffee house?" I asked when I was sleeping at night.

"I like them all." She cupped my face and kissed it.

"You can only choose one."

"I'm in the coffee shop during the day and go back to the old street at night."

"You are greedy." I caressed her face.

"No, I went to the coffee shop for work and ideals, and I went back to the old street because you were waiting for me there."

"Can modernity and primitiveness coexist?" I looked into her eyes.

"Of course, in this way the world will be complete and vast again, that is two seas merged into one ocean." She hugged me tightly, imprinting passionate kisses on my lips, tongue, and whole soul.

[-]. Prologue

"Mr. Mu, hello! I'm Pei Fei's father, and I want to meet you!" A loud baritone voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Pei!" I felt my whole body tremble.

"Hahaha, Teacher Mu, are you free tomorrow morning?"

"free."

"Okay! I'll call to pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow. Well, okay, see you tomorrow!"

Two or three days after Pei Fei came home, her father came back.

When the middle-aged man I had "seen" appeared in front of me the next day, I still had a strong sense of strangeness and discomfort.

He is much more vicissitudes than the one in the photo, his skin is very dark and sunburned, and there are deep wrinkles on the corners of his eyes, forehead and mouth. At first glance, he can be seen as a person who has been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time at sea, but he is also more resolute than the one in the photo More bold, funnier and more dignified.

"Mr. Pei, hello!"

"Oh, Teacher Mu, hello!" He immediately strode forward and enthusiastically stretched out his hands to hold my right hand. "Oh, I heard Pei Fei and her grandma talk about you earlier, I just don't have time to meet you, I'm really sorry!" His dark face was glowing bright red.

"You're welcome!" I smiled.

"Teacher Mu, please! Let's have a good chat today!" He had already hailed a taxi.

"Pei Fei and her grandma have already passed the call first." Seeing me a little puzzled, he immediately said loudly.

"For so many years, thank you for taking care of Pei Fei! You are as attentive as a mother." He chuckled, "Mr. Mu, don't be angry, it may not be appropriate for me to say that, you are still so young."

"Hehe, it's okay." I pursed my lips and smiled. In fact, since I received his call yesterday, I have been unable to calm down. The deep guilt makes me unable to relax. I don't know how to face this situation. "Poor" father.

He took me to a five-star hotel, which is a western-style building, tall, solid, clear and elegant.

"I still like Chinese food, but Western architecture feels better. Hahaha, I know, you ladies like the environment more than the food." He said and took me into a room marked "Athens" under the wall lamp .

Pei Fei and her grandma had already sat inside.Seeing me coming in, Pei Fei's face immediately turned red, and she lowered her eyes shyly.She is wearing a skirt today, a milky white dress with a touch of a court taste, which just outlines her girlish figure purely, making me immediately think of the princess in "Roman Holiday".First time seeing her in a skirt.Seeing me staring at her, her face became redder and her eyelashes were trembling.

"Pei Fei, why don't you call me Teacher Mu?" His father's voice brightened like a bell, full of joy.

Pei Fei stood up reflexively, only looked up at me, and then lowered her eyes again.

"Hehehe, this child, I like her wearing a skirt. I brought it back from England. Teacher Mu, do you think Pei Fei looks good in a skirt? Huh?" Her father looked at her with infinite love and complacency. his baby girl.

"Well, it's really beautiful, very beautiful!" So beautiful that I froze, I said to myself.

"That's right, look at it, everyone says it looks good! You insist on not wearing it! Girls have to look like girls. Right? Teacher Mu?" He laughed again.

"Well, yes. Pei Fei looks good in anything." I said honestly.

"Okay, it's past time for breakfast, and lunch hasn't arrived yet, so let's chat casually. I've been back for two days, and I got together with some old comrades, and I feel very happy. Oh, people are at sea , Sometimes I can’t say a word for a few days, and I’m so suffocated. Although I am a first officer and have a group of subordinates, but facing the same sky and the same sea every day, sometimes it’s really boring to death!”

His talkativeness and heartiness are beyond my expectation. The faint depression in the photo is invisible, but his power has increased several times, especially the extreme self, which is full of domineering.Since he played the leading role at the beginning and kept talking, we just inserted a few words casually. Maybe it was our restraint and "modestness" that made him feel that he should talk more to avoid "cold silence".So he began to tell what he had seen at sea, the funny and stupid things the men did on the boat when they were bored, how big the fish were, what storms they met, how the men obeyed his command, what cities they visited, The characteristics of the wharfs of various countries, as well as various large ships, all kinds of foreigners, the Italian sweater singing opera while carrying, the fat Indian woman who is stronger than men, and the zombie-like British Men, and their giant dogs...

His sea adventures and exotic and interesting records made us laugh, and slowly I relaxed.

"My child is very good." He turned the topic to his daughter. "I am very satisfied with my daughter's condition. This child is very active in everything she does. She is very assertive, self-conscious, and has great self-control! I don't know. Is it because of heredity, hahaha, Mr. Mu, I always speak honestly, haha. Now that she has been admitted to a key university, we must celebrate it. Well, I have even greater expectations for her... Haha, this Let's talk about it later. Hahaha, Pei Fei, your father is great, and you are even better than him!"

His words disturbed me, especially the last sentence.

Pei Fei just sat there, blushing and lowering her head, not daring to look at me.I don't know if it's because of her father's arrogance, or because of wearing that British princess dress, or because of facing her "lover" in front of her relatives.While going to the bathroom, I asked my question.

"You've been staring at me all day long, it's almost burning me, how dare I look up!" She blushed and looked up at me, "My heart has been beating for two hours, I I'm about to have a heart attack!"

Am I really that presumptuous?However, I was really absent-minded this morning, and I really wanted to eat her.

"Your father is very powerful, are you afraid of him?"

"Why am I afraid of him!" She retorted immediately, but I could see her lack of confidence.

"Don't be afraid of him, you know? You must not be afraid of him!" She grabbed my arm suddenly.

"I won't be afraid." I cupped her face and pressed a deep kiss on her lips.

"Mr. Mu, let's meet and talk." A few days later, at noon, Pei Fei's father suddenly called again, with a strange bluntness, "It's in the western restaurant not far from your house. I'll wait for you at the door of the restaurant." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

I froze for a while, and then my heart jumped: something must have happened.

It was also the western restaurant where Pei Fei's mother asked me to meet, and it happened to be that room again.

"Mr. Mu, please read this first." As soon as I sat down, Pei Fei's father handed me a piece of manuscript paper.

"Mu Chenyu, what should I do, I miss you so much, I miss you all day long, I want to be with you every moment, every minute, every second, Mu Chenyu, Mu Chenyu, Mu Chenyu, I love you You..." are Pei Fei's words.My scalp tingles in fits and starts.

"Please tell me frankly, what's the matter with you?" His polite tone was stern.

I know this is a problem that will have to be faced sooner or later.

"Yes, we are in love." I said as calmly as possible.

"You two are in love? Pei Fei is still a child! You are a teacher! This is a crime abroad!" He said excitedly in a loud voice.

I looked at the white dining table, speechless.

"And, you're still gay! You're gay with my daughter!" He got even more excited.

"Mr. Pei, I know you can't accept it all at once, I'm sorry!"

"Please leave Pei Fei." He was silent for a while and said firmly.

"Mr. Pei, I understand your feelings. We are sincere, trust me!"

"Now it's not a matter of truth, insincerity, or disbelief. My daughter cannot be gay." There was a heart-wrenching pathos in his voice.

He began to walk back and forth across from me, and finally turned his back to me, facing the wall, and I saw his broad back slightly hunched.

"You for
