Florence, Firenze, the origin of the entire Renaissance, the capital of art. There was a poet named Xu Zhimo who translated it into Florence and wrote a poem called "A Night in Florence". The original text was as follows:
Touch my face again, it's burning, it's so dark
Invisible; love, I'm breathless,
Don't kiss me; I can't stand this fire
These days my soul is like a brick on fire
Wrought iron, under the hammer of love, smash, smash, sparks…
If he were to take a look at this content today, it would be difficult for it to pass the review on the Chinese website…
Andrew and Eva's car arrived in Florence at dusk. They got off the highway and filled up at a gas station called Tamoil.
After that, they went to a high-class hotel in the direction of Piazza Michelangelo for dinner.
"We don't have to spend too much money on food.”Andrew said as Eva walked into a classy restaurant. His hand was in the side pocket of his cheap coat, holding the 1200 euros he took out at noon.
Eva looked back at him and said,""Come on, I'll pay for dinner with my card.”
They ordered two medium-well Florentine steaks, a chicken chop, a tripe bun, a bread salad with scallops and ankhews, and a bottle of red wine.
Andrew was in a good mood. Before the dishes were served, he saw his neck under his beard swallowing.
"You must be a noble from China, right? Only nobles would pay so much attention to the details of life. Oh my god, I thought life in the Third World was terrible.”he said as he ate.
"I just don't want to get sick. At least the food here is more reassuring.”
"It's just expensive here, but it's not necessarily better than the food in my hometown, Napoli…but this tripe bun is really delicious.”He drank the second glass of red wine and smacked his lips in admiration."Do you want some red wine? The red wine here is not bad.”
"This is a big city. I'm only eleven years old.”Eva reminded him.
"It's okay. We're not that rigid.”He stretched out the bottle to pour wine for Eva, which attracted the surprised eyes of the neighboring table. He had to put down the bottle awkwardly and took the Eva's glass that was filled with a quarter of red wine.
"In the south, no one would be so disappointing.”He seemed to be talking to himself.
"Will you be okay driving later?" Eva asked him.
"If I don't finish it, can this little bit of wine make the alcohol in my blood reach 8 grams per liter? You're worrying too much. You don't need this bottle of wine, do you? I'll bring it back for Abraham and the others to taste.”
"Please do as you please. Do you have a bank card with you?”Eva asked.
"I did…Didn't you say that you would pay for this meal? I don't have any money on my card." he said hesitantly.
"Yes, I'm paying. Your card will have money soon. Ten thousand euros.”she said as she ate.
After they finished eating and drinking, Andrew took a yellow paper bag and put the bottle of red wine and Eva back into the car.
"To be honest, as long as you were a few years older, I would be happy to accompany you anywhere. I wouldn't even need a penny from you.”Andrew said to her.
"Hmm, it seems like your hormones are going out of control. Do you know where I can find Angelodistrada? Hurry over." Eva said as she took out her phone and took out Andrew's bank card.
"It's just dark now, so it might take a little more time to find it.”He started the car and drove to the suburbs.
Not long after they turned around the dilapidated street, they saw Angelodistrada, who was looking for customers. It was easy to recognize them. They were usually standing beside a big black SUV, wearing pants or socks that were almost the same as if they were not wearing them, and their butts were exposed.
"Is there anyone you like?" Eva asked him.
Andrew shook his head and slowed down the car. The girls on the roadside saw a little girl sitting in the front passenger seat and hesitated to talk to her. They only made a few simple body movements, such as flirting or twisting their hips to show Andrew.
"These guys are too black. I like white people. If it really doesn't work, it's fine to be an Asian. I heard that many people here are from China.”He couldn't help but glance at Eva when he mentioned China.
"Whatever, but you have to hurry. I'm in a hurry.”Eva was expressionless.
Andrew nodded as if he had made up his mind. He turned the car around and looked for a woman who was not so tanned.
Soon, he returned to the room. The woman was still there. He parked the car across the road from her, got out of the car, and went over to have a chat. Then, they got into the back seat of her big black SUV. The car's glass was covered with a very black film, and one could see that the car began to shake very quickly.
Eva transferred 10,000 euros to Andrew's bank card through the mobile phone network, then threw his bank card on the driver's seat, lowered the seat back, and lay down comfortably.
It didn't take long for Andrew to get back to the car and start it while panting.
"It's stuck under your butt. Don't break it.”Eva reminded him.
He raised his butt and touched the bank card.
"Go find an ATM to confirm it.”Eva said.
"No need, I have a text message notification on my phone.”He picked up his phone and smiled.
"Shall we go to Milan next?" he asked.
"Alright, let's go. If you're not sleepy, you can go directly to Switzerland.”She told him and closed her eyes to sleep.
Not long after, she was woken up by Andrew. Their car stopped at a temporary stop on the highway.
"I can't. I've been driving for too long. For our safety, it's better to rest first.”Andrew pointed at his eyes and said,""I can't open it. I fell asleep for a few seconds a few times just now.”
Eva was stunned for a moment and said,"Then let's change seats. I'll drive for a while."”
"Alright, you drive." He agreed without thinking and got out of the car to exchange seats with her.
The Eva adjusted its seat and rearview mirror and continued to travel in the dark.
The Texas Hold 'em game in Hapsberg was coming to an end.
Only Fang Xiaogang, Xiao Fuyun, and Bian Kai were left on the field. The blind and the minimum bet had reached 3200 chips. The other five had already gone back with their female followers. Cindy, Shirley, and Xiao Fuyun's follower, Noah, sat beside them.
Bian Kai suggested to them," It's already dark. We still have to drive for an hour before we can go back. Why don't we leave it to fate and let Allen decide the winner?"”
"Then it all depends on luck. There's no fun in relying on cunning and psychological warfare to win. But we've been playing for a long time. Are you guys hungry?”Fang Xiaogang asked the ladies present.
Cindy and Noah smiled and said it was fine.
Xiao Fu Yun said," I was lucky that I wasn't eliminated. You guys decide. I'm fine with anything."”
Bian Kai said," Actually, with fewer people, the technical factors have been reduced. Mr. Fang, you can decide whether to play according to my suggestion."”
"Alright, then let's leave it to fate." Fang Xiaogang said.
"It's fine if you guys make your own agreement, but the general rules are still the same. It's Bian Kai's turn to be the banker, please place the blind bet.”
Bian Kai had the least chips now, about 80,000. The three of them bet according to his total chips. He could only continue if he won. The cards were directly opened, and Bian Kai actually won. With a small straight, the game had to continue.
Now, Fang Xiaogang had the least chips. As long as he didn't win this round, he would be eliminated. Coincidentally, Fang Xiaogang also ended the game with three cards. Xiao Fuyun had lost two rounds in a row, and he didn't have many chips left. He smiled helplessly,"Continue."
Next, Fang Xiaogang won another round with a flush and eliminated Xiao Fuyun. He shook his head and stood up. Fang Xiaogang and Bian Kai said to him at the same time,"Let's go together later.”
"Alright, I'll wait for a while." He sat down. Fang Xiaogang handed him another cigarette.
Fang Xiaogang had a lot of chips. Bian Kai needed to win three rounds in a row to win. If he lost the first two rounds, he would be eliminated.
"It's a tense moment." As he said this, Bian Kai also picked up a cigarette and lit it with his S.T.Dupont lighter.
The two cards were handed out to the two of them. Fang Xiaogang shook his head when he saw the 4 of Spades and 8 of Hearts. Bian Kai covered his cards with his hand and took a deep puff of his cigarette. He said to Cindy beside him,"Come, let's blow." Cindy smiled and stood up to blow. He got a pair of Js.
Then, he directly dealt five public cards. A,Q,6,10,8. Bian Kai won with a pair of Js.
The next round started again very quickly. Bian Kai let Cindy breathe again. Fang Xiaogang was unmoved. He still looked at his own cards. King and Queen. The cards were not bad. They were both diamonds.
Without any extra steps, he directly dealt five cards. In the end, the balance of luck was still on Bian Kai's side. He won with a small pair.
This time, the situation was very unfavorable for Fang Xiaogang. His chips were even less now. He needed four consecutive wins to return to the starting point.
"I'm not confident anymore. It seems that the necklace won't win.”he said to Xue Li.
Shirley tilted her head and smiled at him, not giving him any other reaction.
Following that, Fang Xiaogang won two rounds in a row and suffered a defeat in the third round. In the end, Bian Kai won.
After the third round of cards were dealt, Madam Wang took out three boxes from the next room. When the winner was announced, she had already entered the dining room.
The box containing the jewelry necklace was opened in front of Bian Kai. It was really bejeweled and looked several times more beautiful than in the photo.
"Thank you, thank you." He put his palms together and thanked Queen Mother Xuan. Then, she couldn't help but laugh as she picked up the necklace from the black flannel in the box. The necklace reflected a colorful light under the light of the dining room.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang." he said to Fang Xiaogang.
"It's okay. I'm happy for you. This is heaven's will.”Fang Xiaogang made an inviting gesture.
Bian Kai picked up the necklace, turned around, and put it on Cindy's neck. Shirley and Noah couldn't stop clapping. They didn't know if they were celebrating for Bian Kai or for Cindy.
The Queen Mother of Xuan, Fang Xiaogang, and Xiao Fuyun also smiled and clapped in celebration. Cindy blushed and thanked Empress Xuan and Madam Wang before kissing Bian Kai.
"It's good that everyone had a good time. This is also the happiest ending for us.”Madam Wang smiled and opened the other two boxes. The bowl and the watch were also inside.
"These two items can be considered the winning prizes. Mr. Xiao can be considered to have fulfilled his wish. Mr. Fang may not be satisfied.”Empress Xuan also smiled and pushed the two boxes in front of them.
"Wow, you guys have earned more than me. I returned empty-handed today, which is equivalent to winning the championship for nothing.”Bian Kai laughed.
Xiao Fuyun was surprised and bowed to the Queen Mother gratefully, saying,""Then I have to thank Miss Yang Hui. I should bring it back to China.”
"Then let me take a look at this baby that Gray likes.”Fang Xiaogang picked up the watch and put it on his hand. It was very heavy and the movement on the back was very precise.
"Alright, then we're going back. Everyone, go back. See you in Basel." Empress Xuan, Madam Wang, and the others waved their hands and left.
Finally, he had a chance to be alone with Shirley again. Together, they got into little Jiminy and drove back. "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking to me anymore?”Fang Xiaogang asked her with a smile.
Xue Li looked at him, thinking about something. After a while, she said,"No, it's arranged by the company now…Don't ask anymore, just drive.”She sighed and looked back at the road ahead.
"Recently, I remembered that before we left, you asked me to go back and see my family a few times.”he asked again.
Xue Li couldn't help but look at him again with a complicated expression. Her eyes flickered as if she was deep in thought, but she didn't say anything.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat something before we go back." Seeing that she seemed unable to answer, he changed the topic.
"Alright." She nodded.
Halfway back, they found a residential area south of Rickenbach. It was a small town with many hotels with restaurants. They randomly found a cozy restaurant and sat down to order.
There were no other customers in the shop at this time. The lady boss was a fat auntie. Shirley helped to order some sausages and fried potato cakes. There was also a special quail in the shop, so they also ordered it.
"By the way, I forgot my phone in the car. Can I use your phone?”Fang Xiaogang asked.
"You can't use mine." Shirley was a little surprised.
"Let me see." He winked at her meaningfully.
Cher, who didn't know what was going on, handed him the phone. He had never seen Xue Li's phone before. It was very special. It was thick and sturdy, but it was also very beautiful. Fang Xiao looked around and suddenly took off his coat. He wrapped the phone in his coat layer by layer and placed it on a chair two meters behind him.
"I didn't bring my phone on purpose. Can my phone eavesdrop on you? Can you talk to me now?”He asked Shirley softly.
Xue Li finally understood. She lowered her head and said with a smile,"Maybe I'm too stupid. I think the people around them revealed a lot of things before they came, but I didn't tell you anything.”
"What secrets? It's not too late for you to say it now."
She shook her head, put her hand on the table, and grabbed his hand."Whether they say it or not doesn't affect the outcome. Whether I tell you or not doesn't affect the outcome. I don't want anything to happen to you…You'll be fine.”She looked at him, her eyes no longer flickering, and said firmly to him.
