It was sunset after the meal, and neither of them had any intention of going back to the hotel immediately. Instead, they walked aimlessly along the street. Behind them was a large swath of sunset, and the soft light enveloped their backs, like a large painting.
The most beautiful stroke in a beautiful painting.
Some people say that the sunset in Athens is the last gift that the sun god Apollo gave to this land, and it is also the most beautiful gift. Before the alternation of the sun and the moon, the afterglow of the setting sun replaces the sun god to light up the last light of the day between the sky and the earth. From then on, it lasts for a long time.
More than ten hours of darkness.
Therefore, many foreigners come here for the sunset in Athens, especially foreign photographers, who travel thousands of miles to capture the most beautiful sunset, just to record the grand beauty under the afterglow.
When the two of them walked to a square, they were lucky enough to see soldiers lowering the national flag, which seemed more solemn and solemn than raising the national flag. This was the first time Jiang Teng had seen such a ceremony, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
Chapter 11: "This is a farewell ceremony to inform the people that day and night have begun to alternate. The soldiers will not raise the national flag again until the sun rises the next day, symbolizing the arrival of a new day."
Jiang Teng understood clearly and caught a glimpse of the crowds of people in the square. Men, women, old and young were all playing some interesting games. However, there were too many people, and he couldn't see it clearly.
"The square is a maze." Eleven is really familiar with this city. He is so familiar with it that he knows what is there when he sees any square.
"Maze?" Jiang Teng became interested: "Is it fun?"
Eleven shook his head: "I don't know."
She couldn't remember whether she had ever played in a maze.
"Let's go try it." Jiang Teng had never played a maze before, so he pulled Eleven and walked towards the square.
This time, he no longer held her wrist, but directly held her hand. His movements were natural and intimate, as if he had held her hand countless times in a time she couldn't remember.
Eleven was pulled into the square in a daze by him, and walked to the maze. This was a maze built with plants, occupying two-thirds of the square area. It was a slightly complicated maze that could accommodate a hundred people at the same time.
People are playing inside.
Jiang Teng bought two tickets at the door. He was lucky. They happened to be numbers ninety-nine and one hundred. He could enter directly without queuing.
When they entered, the ticket inspector said a few words to them, which were in Greek. Jiang Teng couldn't understand them, so he asked a question in English, but the other party didn't understand English either.
"What did she say?" Jiang Teng had no choice but to ask Eleven.
Eleven hesitated before translating: "She said that if couples enter from different entrances and finally meet each other, they will be blessed by Bhikkhu, the god of love. She wishes us good luck."
Jiang Teng smiled slightly when he heard this, let go of her hand, and said, "Let's try."
"We are not a couple." Eleven said straightforwardly.
"Try it." Jiang Teng did not answer her words. There are two entrances to the maze, and these two entrances are also exits. He stood at the entrance on the left, pointed to the entrance on the right and said: "You go over there, I'll go there."
This way.”
Eleven took a deep breath, raised his feet and entered the entrance on the right.
"We will definitely meet each other." Jiang Teng's determined voice came from behind.
Eleven's heart trembled slightly, but he did not look back. He took a few steps forward and disappeared around the first corner.
The reason why the maze is called a maze is because there are countless smooth roads in it, but only one can lead to the exit. The chance of two people meeting in the maze is really very small. You may meet other tourists, but
But the person you want to meet the most cannot be met.
Five minutes later, Eleven didn't see Jiang Teng. Ten minutes later, Eleven didn't see Jiang Teng. Twenty minutes later, she still didn't see Jiang Teng. She deliberately slowed down her pace and walked repeatedly.
I walked so deliberately, but still didn't see another person.
Maybe this is just not fate.
If it was Wen Lingran, she would have seen him long ago.
Because she is not Wen Lingran, she cannot see someone who does not belong to her no matter how many times she repeats herself.
Eleven raised his hand and touched his chest. There was some pain there, dull and dull, as if even breathing was painful.
Is this punishment?
Because she expected something she shouldn't expect and wanted to have something that didn't belong to her, so this was a punishment for her, requiring her to endure the pain that was worse than a bullet hitting her chest.
After a long time, she slowly put down her hand, her eyes returned to coldness again, and no trace of affection could be seen.
She no longer walked repeatedly in this maze, no longer looking forward to meeting Jiang Teng around the corner. She lowered her eyes, put away all expectations, and walked towards the exit.
Five minutes later, she walked into the passage leading to the exit. There were tall plants on both sides, and the buildings were flat and neat, like a flat wall. She walked alone in it, looking thin and lonely.
"I know that as long as I wait where you are, you will come back no matter how long it takes."
Jiang Teng's voice came to his ears without warning, and he raised his eyes in a flash. The man's tall and straight body was reflected in his big black eyes.
He was still standing at the entrance, motionless.
She suddenly stopped and looked intently at the man ten meters away from her.
But he took a step forward and walked toward her step by step. Every step seemed to step on her heart, which made her hurt so much that she could not stop beating wildly.
He walked very slowly in the short distance of more than ten meters, as if he had traveled through a long time, as if he had experienced a long time, as if he had gone from the stars to the sea, and finally stood in front of her.
"I've been waiting for you." Jiang Teng stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, his voice sounding far away as if coming from the sky.
Her face was buried in his chest, and she could hear the sound of his heartbeat, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, firm and powerful, like his arms holding her.
Eleven suddenly wanted to cry, and his eyes were so sore that it felt like a whole bottle of vinegar had been poured into his eyes. He couldn't control the rolling of his tear glands, and all his tears were crying like crazy.
Jiang Teng, do you know how much I hope that I am the girl you have been waiting for and looking for for sixteen years? Do you know how much I hope that time will stand still at this moment? Do you know how much I hope that I will be in your arms forever?
Am I the only one?
You won't know, because there is only that girl in your heart.
And I may not be that girl, I just stole her time and took possession of you for a moment, like a thief, secretly happy, but also deeply in pain and regretful.
Her hands tremblingly wrapped around his waist, just give him a hug, just let her hold him for a moment. If she was not Wen Lingran, then she would give him back to her, and he would not occupy her identity or occupy her.
The boy holding her.
Feeling that his waist was wrapped into a pair of slender arms, Jiang Teng's body trembled violently, and the longing he had accumulated for sixteen years surged out. He held her face and kissed her without any hesitation.
.
Bang!
There were fireworks blooming in the night sky on the mountains in the distance, which became the most beautiful background behind the two of them.
