Volume 1 Chapter 79 An Outing With Big Brother Yuan (2/2)
He then took Han Luo to St. Paul's Cathedral, an Anglican cathedral in London which serves as the mother church of the Diocese of London. It sits on Ludgate Hill at the highest point of the City of London and is most noticeable by its huge dome. Just how the whole outside is covered in white, the inside too is all angelically white and embroidered with gold.
”This place is huge,” Han Luo commented, ”and so majestic!”
”It has to be,” Mo Yuan replied.
”I heard it's famous for its dome.” Han Luo stood under the dome and looked up. She could see the frescoes decorating the dome and admired how realistic they looked.
Mo Yuan explained, ”This cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognizable sights of London. Its dome has dominated the skyline for over 300 years. It is 111 meters high, so from 1710 to 1963 it was the tallest building in London, but its dome still remains among the highest in the world. Also, Prince Charles and Princess Diana got married here.”
Han Luo grinned at the boy's deep knowledge, but her drive to discover lived on. ”Big brother, take me to the British Museum. You promised me!” Han Luo requested by grabbing onto his sleeve. When she was small, she had the habit of tugging his sleeve to ask for something. Six years later, her habit didn't change.
Mo Yuan looked at his watch and said, ”To visit the British Museum, it's a 30-minute walk if we're fast. Plus, we need a full day to look around it. Since it's getting late, why don't we just walk around the city?”
”It's only six o'clock! Why don't we go to a park?” Han Luo didn't want to go home right away. She squinted her eyes as her hair fell on her face.
”Aren't you tired?” Mo Yuan reached out, moved her bangs away from her eyes and placed a few strands behind her ear.
”I'm with you. How can I get tired? I can walk with you like this all day.” Han Luo took his right hand in hers and squeezed it. She smiled brightly at him.
Mo Yuan felt as though his heart was squeezed by her soft hand. He subconsciously held his breath in and cherished her radiant smile. With his free hand, he pinched her right cheek. ”Are you deliberately trying to please me? Where did you learn to say such sweet words?”
