Chapter 122: A Kiss Under the Bridge

When Jin Yuan took the photo, he deliberately only aimed the lens at the egg yolk pastry and didn’t capture anything else in the hotel. Therefore, Zhou Muxian didn’t discover any clues in that picture.

While he was reminiscing about his cute little internet friend, he was also upset about Jin Yuan’s situation. After thinking for a while, he couldn’t resist confiding in Chili.

Stars: “I was feeling particularly good today, but my mood suddenly became very bad when I ran into someone who was once the love interest of my ex. Or maybe, he wasn’t even considered an ex.”

Chili: “Is the other person a bad person?”

Stars: “No, quite the opposite. If it wasn’t for that relationship, maybe I would appreciate that kind of person more.”

Chili: “So is he now the person your ex liked?”

Stars: “No, he seems to be single.”

Chili: “I actually think that since you and your ex didn’t end up together, it shows that your thoughts are quite consistent.”

Stars: “…that actually makes sense. Actually, he doesn’t know me, but today, for some special reason, he even prepared a small gift for me. It seems like I was a bit too narrow-minded.”

Zhou Muxian looked at the fresh flowers in the plastic bottle that were so beautiful they seemed about to drip, and suddenly felt that he was being a bit melodramatic. After all, without the issues between him and Chen Sheng, there was also the relationship between Jin Yang and Mushi.

Even if they didn’t know each other now, as time passed, they would eventually become relatives.

Chili: “After all, there was a previous connection, so you can’t really be blamed for being too cautious.”

Stars: “Maybe I should let go of my prejudices. It’s raining here, and I’ve decided to go for a walk in a bit.”

Chili: “You’re going out in the rain?”

Stars: “Isn’t it a unique experience to stroll down the streets with an umbrella on a rainy night? Okay, I won’t talk anymore. I’m going to get ready and go out.”

Chili: “Okay, it’s cool on rainy days, so wear a thicker coat.”

Jin Yuan put down his phone, stuffed a piece of egg yolk pastry in his mouth, and thought that it would be quite nice to freely wander the streets of Venice on a rainy night.

In the afternoon, he went to a few shops, replaced his phone screen, and bought some fresh flowers. When the lights came on at night, he thought the scenery would be even more beautiful.

Thinking of this, Jin Yuan felt the urge to go out for a walk as well.

The sound of rain outside gradually dissipated, so he pushed open the window to take a look and saw that it wasn’t raining much anymore.

Nevertheless, he still brought an umbrella just in case.

The wind carried a few droplets that had fallen from the roof, refreshing and comfortable.

Jin Yuan strolled slowly along a path he had not yet taken. It was still dusk in Venice and the golden sunlight shimmered on the lake after the clouds had dispersed and the rain had stopped.

Venice is a city of water, with water everywhere and boats everywhere. Walking for a while and then taking a boat to the other side is a normal thing.

Jin Yuan stopped here and there to capture the beautiful scenery with his eyes, not because he didn’t like using a camera to take pictures of the beauty, but because he didn’t have much interest in doing it alone.

In Venice, you can see hundreds of ancient bridges everywhere. Because of its unique geographical location, Venice was built on mudflats, and transportation mainly relies on bridges and boats.

Vehicles are prohibited from entering Venice, so taking a boat is like taking an intercity bus that can travel throughout Venice.

In the rapid urbanization process of today, this place still adheres to its uniqueness, and there are no car exhaust fumes in the air.

Jin Yuan walked through streets and waterways, and because it was not a holiday, there were not many tourists visiting.

It wasn’t until he reached another ferry terminal that he noticed something different.

The waiting guests here are mostly couples or small families.

The boatman only accepts two customers at a time before setting off.

Jin Yuan didn’t feel anything on the way, but now he felt embarrassed because he didn’t have a companion.

Fortunately, among so many pedestrians, he was not the only scattered customer. For example, a temporary neighbor who appeared out of nowhere glanced at him and got on the boat together.

This city is not big, living in a hotel, it is not really difficult to meet when you go out for a stroll.

If Jin Yuan knew the history of this bridge, he would definitely not have come.

The bridge was built in 1600 and was named after the sighs of the dead prisoners on the bridge. The Bridge of Sighs connects the Doge’s Palace and the Venice Prison, and was a necessary route for ancient courts to transport death row prisoners to prison.

As someone who has experienced such things, Jin Yuan actually has some taboos about these, but when he got on the boat, the person was unaware of this.

Their boat was sandwiched between two other boats, and the two people who were not familiar with each other turned their heads to look at the scenery on the shore after boarding the boat.

Actually, there is not much to see around, but it is just to avoid embarrassment.

It wasn’t until they reached a bridge that the couples on both sides of the boat started kissing.

Jin Yuan and Zhou Muxian both had the reserve of Chinese people, and after a shocked glance, they quickly turned their heads away.

Two people looking in opposite directions at the same time turned their heads, and when they passed under the Bridge of Sighs, fate was always so inexplicable.

Lips brushed against another’s lips, one warm and one cool, one soft and one firm.

There was still a Bluetooth earphone in Zhou Muxian’s ear, and the romantic and elegant melody blended with the feeling of electricity on his lips, making him, who had seen and tasted it before, frozen on the spot.

As for Jin Yuan, forget it. Despite his age, he had only had that one love affair, and he hadn’t even kissed more than once, so he really didn’t know what to do…

The aunt who was rowing the boat looked at the two handsome Chinese men and smiled like an aunt, conveying her blessings in broken Chinese: “May you have a happy and lasting marriage.”

The two people who were caught in the unexpected situation heard her and quickly separated.

The sound of the oars slicing through the water and the voices of the nearby boats seemed to lighten everything up, but it couldn’t conceal the chaotic noise in their chests like a broken clock.

They couldn’t tell whether it was the sound coming from their own chests or the other’s. The boat was too small, and they could only sit close to each other.

There is a legend in Venice that if lovers kiss each other on a gondola under the Bridge of Sighs at sunset, they will receive eternal love that lasts forever.
