Chapter 49 (2/2)

Here the boat have a very nice name called Gondola, it’s made out oak in a shape of a crescent, the shape is slender so it can travel freely through the narrow channels.

When Du Lei Si followed Lian Jun to board the gondola, she could see the boat was narrow and small, seeing such boat made her courage decrease, thus not wanting to board it. However, Lian Jun stood on the boat, holding out his hands towards her.

“It’s nothing, I’ll hold onto you.”

Just a few words, she suddenly didn’t feel so afraid anymore, grabbing onto his outstretched hand, she crossed over and was firmly on the boat.

Then she saw Lian Jun spoke to the boatman in a language she didn’t understand, the boatman nodded, then held up his paddles, the gondola quickly moved through the water.

“Where are we going?” Du Lei Si asked curiously.

“Taking you around, and then we’ll go to Piazzi San Marco.”

“Piazzi San Marco?” Du Lei Si was enlightened, picturing the famous Venice carnival, “Are we going to go to the Carnival of Venice?”

Lian Jun shook his head: “The annual carnival is only held during February.”

“Ah……” Du Lei Si was a little disappointed.

“If you want to see it, we can come back next February.”

“Really?” Du Lei Si was a little excited.

“It’s not a hard thing to accomplish, why would I lie to you?” He teased her.

“That’s not it……” She was embarra.s.sed, “What I meant was you’re always so busy with work that you won’t have the time to take care of me.”

“As long as you like it.”

Those few words moved Du Lei Si.

As long as she is happy, he is willing to accompany her?? Even if she’s so stupid and often make mistakes, also love to caused small troubles, however, he never abandoned the simple, her. Thinking to this point, Du Lei Si suddenly felt the inexplicable impulse.

“Hubby,” She called softly.

“What’s going on?”

“I……I ……” She suddenly wanted to go up and kiss him.

Just when she was close enough, she felt the boatman’s inadvertently curious eyes.

“No…… nothing……” She quickly pulled back, “I…… I just wanted to call you……”

“Really?” Lian Jun curved his lips and stared at her embarra.s.sed expression, “Just now…… you wanted……”

“Ah! There is a plane in the sky!”

“……”

While embarra.s.singly smiling, Du Lei Si secretly let out a sigh, fortunately she regain her sense in time, or else she momentary would have the impulse to kiss him. What may have occur she doesn’t even know.

Give her body?

Once she thought of the events from last night, her face began to burn again.

“This river is a lot bigger than it was,” She quickly s.h.i.+fted her attention.

“En.” Lian Jun nodded, “this is the Grande Ca.n.a.le, the longest waterway in Venice.”

“No wonder!” Du Lei Si was suddenly enlighten, before she was talking to the President, without realising they were surrounded by such a beautiful scenery.

Along the Grand Ca.n.a.l was mostly built during the 14th to the 16th century, it followed theByzantine, Gothic and Baroque style, due to all of the building foundations are submerged in the water, it looked like a water raised art gallery, amongst the countless gondola, it was filled with literary and artistic appeal.

After enjoying the coastal construction, the gondola finally traveled to the legendary Piazza San Marco. Holding onto Lian Jun’s hands as she got off the gondola, when Du Lei Si’s feet finally touched the ground, she felt her entire body shake.

During the Summer and Autumn season, the Piazza San Marcos wasn’t packed with tourist since it wasn’t the Carnival period, however it was still bustling. Being in such a place, Du Lei Si felt like she was transported back in time, she could feel the seventeenth century vibe, the cla.s.sical taste, under the blue sky in the Renaissance, admiring the beauty of the cathedral and towers making one blind.

Napoleon once praise the place as ‘Europe’s most beautiful parlour.’, ‘the world’s most beautiful square.’ It really wasn’t false. Within the square there were tens of thousands of pigeons, accompanied by the orchestra, also from time to time there were clowns wearing strange masks. Everywhere left traces of history, even if it was a small engraving it was filled with strong artistic atmosphere.

At that moment, Du Lei Si suddenly feel that people have misconception of the city, besides being covered in water, the water carried it’s history, thoughts and arts. Quietly wandering on the clear blue water became the most precious wealth of Venice.

From the towers to the churches, from Napoleon wing of the building to the gold altar, it was Du Lei Si first time being in so close contact with a Western country, she was deeply shocked by everything here.

When they returned, the horizon was ignited by a red sunset, the setting sun in the Piazza San Marco Square seems to be shrouded under a piece of the holy light.

Du Lei Si was somewhat reluctant, she suddenly thought of the words the President just said—— “If you want to see, next year in February we can return.”

“Will we come back next year?”

“As long as you like it.”

Du Lei Si suddenly felt that she didn’t really wanted to ask whether they’ll return or not, she just wanted to hear the words ‘as long as you like it’ out of his mouth.

She silently replied with one sentence: As long as you’re present, I will like it regardless.

Returning to the hotel from Piazza San Marco, the gondola pa.s.sed the famous Bridge of Sighs, crossing the water, hanging between two buildings was a bridge.

“There’s a legend about this bridge.” Lian Jun said suddenly.

“What legend?”

Lian Jun didn’t answer her, he suddenly lend towards her.

She felt his breath on her face, during the night his dark eyes were s.h.i.+ning like the bright stars in the sky: “What……what is it?” she asked.

“If lovers kiss under the bridge, their love will be eternal.”

After lightly saying these words, his lips decisively came over, a extremely fine kiss, opening her jaws, in unhurried matter step by step invaded her, taking her breathing away and at the same time also claimed her soul.

The crescent moon within the misit sky, under the dim moonlight, reflect the s.h.i.+mmering waterways, there was a crescent-shaped gondola with two figures embracing as they kissed, the image seemed to melt together.

This one kiss made her gasped for air, her heart palpitated quickly, afraid of the stares from those around.

Du Lei Si felt the boatman sincerely staring at them, she could feel Lian Jun’s soulful eyes linger on her body under the glowing moon water, dazzingly her eyes.

Once her head felt dizzy, her focus was a mess, ‘Pa La’ she felt into the water.
