Endless Fall Novel - Chapter 209
209 We Will Have a Future
Zhou Yanshen smiled. “As your future boyfriend, shouldn’t I be taking care of you?”
“I don’t even know if we have a future.”
“Of course we have.” His smile was especially wide.
Qian Yue did not refute.
!!
She avoided his burning gaze and stuffed a piece of foie gras into his plate before continuing to eat.
She rarely voiced her concern and only let Zhou Yanshen feel it at all times.
“What time are we leaving tomorrow?” Chu Yuzhou asked his friends.
“About ten o’clock. It’s too cold early in the morning.”
“That works too.” When winter came, the bed became the most comfortable place. No one wanted to get up early.
Lin Jiao put down her knife and fork to admire the night scene.
The neon lights were reflected in her eyes, looking like a sky filled with stars.
Pei Zhi, who was sitting beside her, could admire the beautiful scene outside in her eyes without looking out the window.
He held her hand and let the laughter and chatter accompany them to the hotel before they disappeared into a suite.
The sun and moon alternated, and a few rays of warm sunlight shone on every corner on the earth, waking up everything in the world with a warm light.
The well-rested group set off at ten o’clock. The first stop was the Colosseum, a landmark building that could accommodate 50,000 people.
The Colosseum was built during the Roman Empire and was once a place for gladiators to fight lions.
Under the introduction of the tour guide, Ven Olle, they walked around the first and second floors before heading to the ancient Roman ruins beside them.
There were many scenic spots in the ancient Roman ruins, like an open-air museum.
It was almost two o’clock when they finished admiring the entire ruin.
The moment Pei Yilan left the ruins, she finally felt hungry. “Is there a restaurant nearby?”
“There’s one five hundred meters ahead.”
“Western restaurant?”
“I don’t care western or eastern. Let’s eat first.” Chu Yuzhou was starving. “I feel like I can eat a cow.”
“You’re exaggerating.”
“Really, I’m starving.”
“Then I’ll order three steaks for you later.” Shen Yi placed his hand on his shoulder.
“I’ll devour whatever you order.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
Chu Yuzhou finished two steaks in the restaurant and his stomach was about to explode.
He stopped Shen Yi from ordering. “Brother Yi, if I don’t stop eating, I’ll be hospitalized.”
“Didn’t you say you can eat a cow?”
“I’m just saying. Why did you take it so seriously?”
“Old buddy, you’re disappointing.” Zhou Yanshen crossed his legs and smiled at him mockingly.
Chu Yuzhou pretended not to hear him.
In order to ease the thirst in his throat, he slowly drank a glass of water and said, “Let’s continue the tour.”
When Jiang Ye walked out of the restaurant, he handed them cigarettes.
He looked back at the ruins. “I realized that the buildings in Rome are relatively close to each other. We should be done touring this afternoon.”
“Indeed.” Smoke seeped out of Pei Zhi’s lips.
He tidied the hood of Lin Jiao’s down jacket and turned to ask, “Where to next?”
Ven Olle said, “The Trevi Fountain.”
The Trevi Fountain, near the Piazza Venezia, is the most famous fountain in Rome.
The gorgeous sculptures intertwined with the water curtain, forming a beautiful visual feast.
There were a few couples kissing near the wishing well.
They were so immersed in each other’s breathing that they did not care about what others thought.
“Are you going to kiss?” Ven Olle asked bluntly as he looked at the three couples.
The question he threw out made Pei Yilan blush.
She looked up at Jiang Ye and asked, “Do we have to kiss?”
“No, no, no.” He looked at the wishing well. “My girlfriend and I think kissing is very romantic.”
“Jiaojiao, do you like romantic?”
“Not too bad.”
Pei Zhi treated ‘not too bad’ as ‘like’.
He leaned close to her red lips. The next second, Jiang Ye held Pei Yilan’s cheek and gave her a romantic kiss.
Zhou Yanshen, who was more or less envious, gave the side of Qian Yue’s face a light kiss under everyone’s urging.
The warm touch was tempting.
Qian Yue looked up at his deep eyes. Her red ears revealed her emotions and indirectly encouraged him.
Before she could react, Zhou Yanshen pulled her into his arms and tasted her sweet slips without hesitation.
The moment their lips connected, a numbing sensation overwhelmed the both of them, making them feel intoxicated.
Everything around them seemed to have blended into the background. Even the conversation of the tourists was drowned out by their heartbeats.
“I’m sorry.” Zhou Yanshen stopped at the right time.
He moved away from the lips that fascinated him and said in a hoarse voice, “I couldn’t help it.”
Qian Yue suppressed the joy in her eyes.
“There won’t be a next time,” she warned in a low voice and turned to look for Qu Shao to get the coins to make a wish.
Zhou Yanshen smiled and followed her.
When they got the coins, Ven Olle turned to face the wishing well and demonstrated, “When a couple throws the coin together, their love will last forever.”
“How many wishes can we make?”
“Three.”
Pei Zhi held Lin Jiao’s hand and walked to an empty spot.
They closed their eyes and made a wish. At the same time, they threw the coin and let it fall into the clear wishing pool.
Lin Jiao looked at the pool filled with coins. “I can’t even find the coin I threw.”
Pei Zhi chuckled. “You don’t have to.” He pinched her soft cheek. “Our wish will definitely come true.”
“Yes, definitely.”
“Do you want to eat ice cream?” Chu Yuzhou pushed through the crowd and raised his chin to the right.
“No.”
“Ice cream is too cold for winter. It’s better to drink milk tea.”
They walked to a nearby bubble tea shop and strolled around Venice Square with milk teacups in their hands.
They finished touring all the scenic spots worth going to before nightfall. The next morning, they dragged their suitcases to Florence.
When it was noon, Ven Olle changed into a fluorescent down jacket and dazzled everyone again.
“Don’t you have any normal clothes?” Qu Shao facepalmed.
“Doesn’t this one look good?”
“It’s too dazzling.”
“You want one?” Ven Olle thought Qu Shao was complimenting him. “I can give you one.”
Qu Shao quickly shook his head. “No need.” He looked away. “Show us the way.”
