Chapter 1253 Journey to Athens

Han Jiaren acted coquettishly and said, "No, I don't want to take a nap, you can take me out for fun."

It is rare to travel with Jin Jingcheng once, and the Athenian style fascinates Han Jiaren, so Han Jiaren's spirit seems particularly excited at the moment.

After saying that, Han Jiaren realized something and said in shame: "It turns out, you should be tired, right? Then you can take a nap?"

Jin Jingcheng smiled and said, "No need, I'll go out for fun with you."

Since Han Jiaren is particularly excited, Jin Jingcheng will be with her, and she will be happy, and he will be happy.

Jin Jingcheng then smiled and said, "But I think we have to take a shower first and change clothes before going out."

Han Jiaren said "yes".

Jin Jingcheng said, "Together?"

Han Jiaren's face turned red and she nodded obediently.

So, this afternoon and the next two days, Jin Jingcheng took Han Jiaren to talk about the whole of Athens.

...

The two visited the Unknown Warrior Monument.

The Monument to the Unknown Warrior is located in front of the Greek Parliament Building and was built in 1928. The main body of the monument is a relief of the Unknown Warrior. It is an ancient Greek warrior wearing armor and holding a shield lying on a stone slab. The two famous quotes from Pericles in a eulogy are engraved on both sides of the relief: "This is the tomb of outstanding warriors in the world" and "the spiritual bed for the unknown warriors." There are 11 place names engraved on the lower left of the relief and 12 place names engraved on the lower right. These place names are places where the Greek army and foreign teams fought in history.

In front of the Monument to the Unknown Martyrs is where the military parade is held in Greece. Whenever the time comes, there is a wonderful change of soldiers here, and the soldiers patrol in front of the tomb with unique and graceful steps.

Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren watched a soldier's guard change ceremony here. As for Jin Jingcheng, although he felt that the Greek soldiers' guard change ceremony was a bit sacred, the steps of Greek soldiers patrolling in front of the tomb were indeed unique and beautiful, it was still not as good as the flag-raising ceremony in China every morning. This is not the bias of Jin Jingcheng as a Chinese, but an objective idea. I believe that anyone who has witnessed the flag-raising ceremony in China with his own eyes will definitely feel particularly sacred. One reason is that China has always been a country that pays special attention to etiquette for thousands of years of history.

...

Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren also played around the Constitution Square in Athens.

There are large flocks of pigeons on the Constitution Square. They are not afraid of tourists and often fall on people's heads or shoulders.

Han Jiaren likes these pure white pigeons very much. Many women who come to Constitution Square like these pigeons very much.

These pigeons seem very free and fearless, because people who come to Constitution Square generally do not hurt them, so they can live in harmony with the people here. In Constitution Square, they can fly freely into the crowd without worrying about being hurt.

Under Han Jiaren's pull, Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren fed the pigeons with some food.

Jin Jingcheng felt a little awkward at first, but as he fed, he found that these pigeons were indeed very cute. When feeding them, the joy they showed also made Jin Jingcheng feel moved.

Jin Jingcheng is a person who doesn’t like raising animals. He thinks raising cats, dogs, or other animals will be a bit annoying and will make the family a little dirty. However, Jin Jingcheng is a man who likes women to raise animals. This mentality is a bit strange, and it is similar to Jin Jingcheng who likes to see his women raising their children well.

Because of this, when Han Jiaren finished feeding the pigeons and told Jin Jingcheng that he would have the opportunity to raise a puppy or kitten at home in the future, Jin Jingcheng nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Kim Jingcheng and Han Jiaren spent a dusk in Constitution Square. Under the sunset at dusk, Kim Jingcheng seemed to have left her usual role. With Han Jiaren, as a sweet couple, he harmoniously integrated into the warm sunset, and felt quiet and peaceful in his heart.

...

Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren also visited the Athens Arena. The Athens Arena is the site of the first modern Olympic Games. Five-color rings are inlaid on the walls at the entrance of the arena. The arena is horseshoe-shaped. Two parallel lines in the field connect a small curved arc. Following the straight lines and curved arcs, rows of seats are piled up of white marble, which can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators. The fine cinder track in the arena is as black as ink, and the marble steps are ice-carved jade.

There are old men selling homemade stone sculptures in the square of Athens Arena, who are kind and enthusiastic.

The old man had great skills. Looking at some of the old man's own stone carving samples, Han Jiaren was very moved. Jin Jingcheng saw Han Jiaren's heartbeat and took the initiative to say, "Good man, why don't we ask him to customize the stone carvings?"

"Really?" Han Jiaren looked surprised and said, "But we are only staying in Greece for a few days. He shouldn't be able to do it well for a few days, right? Even if he can do it well, how can we bring it back?"

Kim Jong-sung smiled and said, "We will customize it. When he is ready, I will ask Mr. Kors to send it to South Korea."

Han Jiaren said happily: "Okay."

So Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren customized a stone sculpture respectively, but what kind of stone sculpture should be customized? Han Jiaren had a decisive idea, which was to customize a stone sculpture that Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren hugged each other. In other words, this stone sculpture would carve two people, and the two people hugged each other.

So the old man in the stone carving took a photo of Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren hugging each other. He would carve it based on this photo. Because Jin Jingcheng chose high-end stone carvings, it took more time to carve and took about ten days.

Jin Jingcheng paid the deposit and greeted Kors. When the stone carving was completed, he asked Kors to help send it from Athens, Greece to Seoul, South Korea.

Han Jiaren was very excited about this and began to fantasize about the appearance of this stone sculpture in her mind. When she thought that she and Jin Jingcheng could be carved in a stone sculpture and hugged each other, she felt a special romance.

...

Jin Jingcheng and Han Jiaren also visited the Temple of Zeus together.

The Temple of Zeus is the first ruin related to Greek mythology. It is located in the southeast of the Acropolis of Athens, Greece, and is the area under the jurisdiction of Zeus, the god of the ancient Greek gods. The entire building is located on a 205-meter-long and 130-meter-wide foundation. The temple itself is 107.75 meters long and 41 meters wide. There are 104 stone pillars. Now there are only 13 remaining, each stone pillar is as high as 17.25 meters high and the top diameter is 1.3 meters, and it is about 15,500 tons of marble. The stone pillars are Corinthian, and the stigma is surrounded by buttercup leaves, and are mixed with tendrils and buds. It looks like a flower basket with branches placed on the top of the cylinder, which is very decorative.
