Chapter 1

The overwhelming sound of guns pierced the eardrums, the sky and the earth could not be seen clearly on the smoky sand, the shells projected in all directions, gray light bloomed on this barren land, and the dark red blood formed a dark red field of vision. The screams of running hit him, one after another, like a sea breeze.

Liu Shizhen woke up suddenly, looked around blankly, looked at the comfortable bedroom, lay back on the bed exhausted, panting continuously, took long and deep breaths again and again, covered his eyes with the back of his hand, he He pursed his lips tightly, unable to calm down for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.He has been out of the military for three years.

He opened his eyes again until dawn, facing the first ray of sunlight penetrating through the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the morning, stepping on the soft and thick hand-cut rose carpet.

At that time, it was six o'clock in the morning in Seoul.

He received a call from his good friend Xu Daying. He thought it was another message of concern and condolences, but instead of being silent, he said, "Song Anna is still alive."

It was as if an earthquake had struck suddenly, shaking his whole body, throwing him high, and pulling him back to the ground in an instant. The roaring sound still lingered in his ears, and the whole world was silent for a second.He just came back to his senses, his hands were shaking badly, and then he saw the MMS message from Xu Daying.

In the photo, the sun is just right, the small square brick and stone road is dark gray, and the ground feels neat and flat. In front of the coffee shop with the milky white exterior wall, she looked up into the distance.

The location is: Old Streets and Alleys of Florence.

Liu Shizhen bit his fist lightly, desperately suppressing the surge in his heart, but there was only one thought left in his mind: she was still alive.she is alive!

When Xu Daying called Liu Shizhen again, it was already two days later, he was in Florence, and there was a seven-hour time difference between him and Seoul.

"You're going." Xu Daying stated a sentence very calmly, instead of asking back.

Liu Shizhen hummed, but then said: "I didn't realize that I didn't dare to face her until the moment I got off the plane." On April [-], [-], the news of her death came. whole year.

"Do you know how much it cost for a woman?" Xu Daying asked calmly, then hung up the phone, found Yin Mingzhu's number in the phone book, and looked at it for a long time.

"Then you know again?" Liu Shizhen responded with pursed mouth to the phone with a busy tone, put away his phone, and looked out of the hotel window. devoured.

At noon the next day, he came to the coffee shop where she was - the afternoon coffee shop.He ordered a cappuccino and sat quietly in the corner, looking at her through the sunglasses.

Mixed with the romantic and poetic atmosphere of the ancient street, she is also stained with a warm smile, serving every customer enthusiastically, as if the years in the dark are already past lives, she is like a phoenix nirvana, living in the place she yearns for in the sun.

Outside the glass windows, there are rows of bicycles, humorous graffiti on the walls, and the street scenes are like thick and colorful oil paintings, making people get lost in the intersection of ancient and modern times.

Liu Shizhen sat here and watched her all day, until the sunset glow hung on the wall, reflecting the old streets and alleys red, and the city time of 'Jade Lengcui' seemed to be still frozen in the Renaissance era.So beautiful and so real and so dreamy and out of reach.

"Hello, guest, do you need any help?" After the waiter told Anna about the situation of the guest wearing sunglasses in the corner, she came over and asked politely, speaking in Chinese, half covered In the case of his face, she judged his condition by his black hair and yellow skin.

Looking at her close at hand, she is thinner than before, but cheerful, like the feeling of spring flowers blooming.

"I just bought the store next door. I want to ask you, if I want to renovate, will it affect you?" He came out of the peacekeeping force and used to need to communicate with soldiers from other countries. Therefore, he knows how many countries The language is not strange, and she can easily answer her in Chinese.

Anna looked out, nodded thoughtfully, "Probably not, if you need help, you can come to me here." She stretched out her right hand to Liu Shizhen in a gesture of shaking hands, and smiled , There are deep pear dimples on both sides of the mouth, which looks very cute and warm.

She said, "My name is Anna, what about you?"

Suddenly, his uneasy heart calmed down. Instead of imagining how she was doing through thousands of miles of land, he might as well go all the way to find her and see with his own eyes how she was doing.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand and said, "I want to open a cake shop, but I don't know what name I should choose. Do you have any suggestions?"

Anna listened to him very carefully, and took one last look at him. Liu Shizhen explained first, "I'm sorry, my eyes have been a little uncomfortable recently, so..."

"It's okay, I thought you were avoiding the handsome guy that the girls were chasing." Anna joked, took out a pen and a small notebook, and analyzed with him what kind of store name would be more appropriate, until closing time, and he left.

"I don't know what it looks like under the sunglasses. It looks very handsome. It's the most suitable for going on a date." The waiter who was left behind to clean up held his face in his hands and said to Anna.

The latter shook his head helplessly. He didn't know how he looked, but the Chinese characters were really ugly.

Within two days, construction started next door, but the man was still sitting leisurely in the corner, ordering a cup of coffee, quietly flipping through a book, not attracted by any scenery, he was just a scenery.

The way she focused on reading the book, and the small movements of her fingers unintentionally rubbing the feet of the book, reminded her of a person in a trance, someone she dared not think about, read or see.Distraught, Anna bumped into someone and broke the cup.Like a gust of wind, Anna's hand was grabbed by Liu Shizhen.

He asked anxiously, "You didn't get hurt, did you?"

That year, when she was being chased and beaten, and she was curled up in a corner holding the food tightly, that person asked the same question.The bright smile was like sunshine, shining into her heart, and it was the first time anyone cared about her in such a big age.So many times later, when she felt that she couldn't hold on, she relied on remembering him to motivate herself.

Anna suddenly withdrew her hand from him, regained her calm appearance, and said lightly that it was all right.

Anna Song is dead!Dead for five years!She kept telling herself that now she was Anna, an ordinary girl living in the old streets of Florence, nothing more.So, stop thinking about him!

Liu Shizhen was not angry either, he put his arms around his arms and asked her with a smile, "How about we cooperate?" He pointed to the next door, "Seeing that your cakes are so simple, how about pairing my cake with your coffee."

"You don't have to thank me." She refused without even thinking about it, and left Liu Shizhen alone with an excuse. He touched the tip of his nose, returned to his seat and continued to read and drink coffee.

The person who had been hanging in front of her for half a month suddenly didn't come one day, and the decoration next door also stopped.Anna looked next door curiously, but the door was closed tightly so she couldn't see it.He who felt like one countless times never appeared again, and Anna squatted quietly on the ground to water the potted plants.

She felt that people in her life came and went, but in the end no one stayed for her. It was really a sad thing.

Three days later, he reappeared in the store, in the old position, which was the corner by the window. Anna looked at him from a distance, as if looking at another person through him, and her restless heart calmed down. , suddenly felt that he might not be able to come because of something.

Just look at it from a distance.

It's like looking at that person, breathing the same air as that person in the sun openly.

Anna didn't dare to approach him anymore, for fear that he would disappear, so she was busy taking care of other customers. Liu Shizhen sat in the store for another day. When it was finally time to close, the waiter found Anna and said that the gentleman hadn't Go, she had to face it.

"Hi sir, we are closing."

Liu Shizhen nodded, and gave her the prepared bouquet, "Please keep it for me, see you tomorrow." He got up and went out, causing Anna to be taken aback, and the waiter Susan who got off work after changing her clothes. Looking at her enviously, "Such beautiful flowers should match a beautiful girl like you."

"Who told you that it was for me?" Anna asked back, and put the bouquet on the counter. "I asked you to keep it, maybe it's for his girlfriend tomorrow."

After Susan left, Anna touched the bouquet of roses, she was so beautiful, but suddenly she wanted to tear it to pieces.Anna pressed her trembling right hand with her left hand, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, closed the door and went upstairs.

She lived in the attic above the coffee shop, woke up by the sun every day, cooked a nutritious breakfast for herself, and then opened the door to start a busy day.Free and full of spirit, this is the day she dreams of, but, after so many years, she still has some regrets.

Unfortunately, it's only her.

Anna looked at herself in the mirror, wearing simple short sleeves, tight jeans, and a cat necklace hanging around her neck, which was given by Susan, saying that it would match a girl with a good-looking smile like her.But she knew that she was just a person wearing a mask to live.

The slender nails scraped on the mirror, which made the pores tremble. She wanted to skip work after the opening tomorrow. After seeing the man whose name she didn't know in the store, too many dusty memories that she wanted to forget were awakened, and she needed to vent. .

So when Liu Shizhen came again, he didn't see her.

"Excuse me, what about Anna?"

Susan smiled maliciously, "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of seeing you give flowers to other girlfriends."

Liu Shizhen smiled lightly, glanced at the bouquet of roses placed in the most conspicuous position by the counter, "Does she think so?"

"Oh my god, didn't you give it to her? Why did you let her keep it?" Su Shan asked, and before Liu Shizhen could answer, the guest wanted to order food, so she went there first.

Liu Shizhen shook his head with a smile, besides her, who else could he send flowers to?
