Chapter 20 Chapter 20 The Beginning of Cohabitation Life

The next night, Liu Xia moved from her original residence to Alfonso's contract. Her decision came so suddenly, both Shizuka and Camilla were quite surprised by it.After knowing that she was going to move to Alfonso's place, Shizuka didn't react too much, and helped her pack some things.But Camilla, who has a fiery personality, is not so calm. She is very annoyed by Liu Xia's hasty behavior. Let alone helping to clean up, she can't even watch it, so she simply carries her bag and goes out the door. Not seeing is pure. "Liu Xia, don't mind, she has this personality. It will be fine after a while." Shizuka comforted her while tidying up.

Liu Xia also made this rash decision, but she told them the truth in North China, so she could only swallow all the secrets in her stomach. "Actually, this doesn't look like your character at all." Shizuka paused, and there seemed to be a hint of melancholy in her gentle tone, "Liu Xia, you have difficulties, don't you?" Suddenly being told what was on her mind, Liu Xiazhi felt that her chest seemed to be swollen with a scorching liquid, which made her ache. "You don't need to answer me." Shizuka is quite understanding, "No matter what, we are still classmates and good friends. Although we don't live together anymore, we can still see each other every day in class."

Liu Xia forced a smile and nodded. "Did you take these things away today?" Shizuka quickly changed the subject. "I just need to tidy up today, and someone will take it away for me tomorrow." As soon as she finished speaking, the phone rang. "Someone is urging you?" Shizuka smiled. Liu Xia looked at the number of the caller, immediately pressed the ringtone, picked up her bag, said goodbye to Shizuka, and stepped out of the room. From this moment on, she didn't know what was waiting for her. After going downstairs, she saw a silver Bentley parked there.But the man sitting in the driver's seat is not Alfonso, but...

"Romeo, how could it be you?" She was a little surprised by the boy's appearance. Romeo pouted, showing a very aggrieved expression: "What? Did you feel disappointed seeing me? It's so sad, it's hard for me to pick you up..." How could Liu Xia be in the mood to pay attention to his "grievance" now, so he didn't speak any more. "Boss happened to have something to do today, so let me pick you up in person." He intentionally bit down the word "personally". "Then...thank you." She said in a low voice, and sat in the car with a sad expression.

Romeo looked at her, said nothing, and quickly started the car. The ancient city of Rome is shrouded in faint moonlight, and it looks extraordinarily gentle and peaceful in the blurred night. Liu Xia kept passing the street scene in front of his eyes, and his mind seemed blank. Never bow your head when you encounter difficulties, smile when you encounter happiness, and turn it into happiness even when you are sad—this is her consistent creed, but at this moment, she has shaken herself for the first time.May I?Can she really keep smiling? Sadness... Is it really so easy to turn into happiness?

Came to Rome from far away China, for him and his own dream. But now... what is left of her?Why... did everything become like this? Romeo managed to find new topics to talk to her along the way, and Liu Xia only answered a few words absent-mindedly, and the atmosphere quickly turned into a cold one.This state continued until the car stopped at the gate of the castle.When Liu Xia opened the car door and was about to get out of the car, he suddenly heard Romeo's voice: "Liu Xia, are you going to go in with such a sad face?" Liu Xia turned her head and looked straight into his eyes: "I still remember you once said that although you can't change the world, you can at least change your own life. But now I can't even change my own life. Can you still go in with a smile?"

After saying these few words, she got out of the car without waiting for the other party's answer, and walked straight towards the gate of the castle. Seeing her figure standing behind the iron gate, Romeo also had a look of uncertainty on his face. ——No one knows what he is thinking at the moment. Liu Xia didn't see Alfonso after entering the contract, but met Margaret first.For Liu Xia's arrival, Margaret didn't seem too surprised.She was neither as affectionate as before, nor as cold as before, but a kind of politeness with alienation. Liu Xia can also understand the other party's mood. After all, it has always belonged to her own domain and now she wants to share it with others. Even a small animal will have such a strong sense of domain, let alone a human being who is a hundred times smarter than a small animal?

The special night passed quickly.As soon as Liu Xia finished washing, a maid took her to the garden downstairs.Alfonso and Margherita are enjoying an exquisite breakfast there. The light golden sunlight gently sprinkled on the ivory-colored platform, as if it had dyed the two people in a warm tone.Alfonso, who was wearing a white shirt, was reading the morning newspaper of the day, and the sunlight was jumping on his half-hanging long eyelashes, exuding amazing beauty. His elegant and unparalleled profile was the most perfect masterpiece of the Renaissance.The girl next to him was quietly tasting Beluga caviar, and from time to time she turned her head to her father and smiled.

At this moment, Liu Xia actually had the illusion that the handsome man sitting there was just an ordinary father. What kind of earl, what kind of gang leader, are all just illusions. "Liu Xia, are you up?" Alfonso raised his head and saw her, the corners of his mouth naturally bent, and motioned to the maid Mina to bring the latest breakfast. Margaret also smiled and waved to her: "Teacher, come and have breakfast together." Liu Xia nodded and sat beside her.After a night of sleep, she seemed to be very hungry.But caviar, which is used for breakfast, seems to be a bit unsuitable for her oriental stomach.

When Mina brought her breakfast, Liu Xia was obviously surprised. She didn't expect that what the other party prepared for her was not a Western-style breakfast, but her favorite soy milk fritters when she was in China! "Why... this?" She couldn't help asking. "Teacher, Dad specially hired a Chinese chef for you, so that you can eat Chinese food at any time." Margaret said and acted like a baby to Alfonso, "Dad, you are so kind to the teacher, then I I also want a chef who only serves me." Alfonso smiled: "Don't you already have a chef who specializes in French and Italian cuisine?"

"That's not enough, I want Greek, Spanish, Egyptian, um, and Madagascar!" Alfonso shook his head helplessly: "Do you want to turn this place into a restaurant for the United Nations?" Liu Xia's stomach had already started to protest, so she was not polite at all, first drank a spoonful of warm soy milk, then took a bite of the fried, fragrant and crunchy fritters, a familiar warmth suddenly felt like Ripples rippled gently... Since she has been in Rome for so long, she has not tasted such an authentic Chinese breakfast for a long time. Usually when I was in China, my mother would squeeze fresh soy milk every morning, and then go to the breakfast shop opened by my brother in Anhui downstairs to buy some golden fried dough sticks and honey brown sugar cakes. The family ate and chatted around the table. Dad I read the newspaper in the same way, and read to them the interesting things that happened that day. That kind of taste is a taste that only belongs to my hometown...a taste that I miss so much... Alfonso saw her eating with gusto, and an almost invisible light flashed through the telegram of condolence: "I heard that you are from X City in China, so I asked the chef to cook it for you according to the taste there, how about it? Like there taste?" Liu Xia lowered her head and responded, and after thinking about it, she thanked him again. She really didn't have a guide, but Alfonso still had such a careful side, such trivial details were considered so thoughtfully. But no matter what, he couldn't hide his terrifying identity. He may be nice to you one minute, but no one knows what will happen the next minute. After breakfast, Alfonso rejected her request to take the bus to school by himself, and told her that there would be a full-time driver to pick her up every day. When Liu Xia came to the door holding her breath, she saw that the silver Bentley was already waiting for her there.She didn't even look carefully at who the driver was. She rushed to the back seat of the car, opened the door, and got in. She didn't even yell "drive." The car didn't move.Instead, there was a loose chuckle from the driver's seat.The young driver turned his face and showed her a smile that could not help but say, "Okay, miss, but please don't forget to tip." The moment he turned his head, Liu Xia was taken aback again: "Romeo, why is it you again?" "Why, aren't you satisfied with me as your full-time driver?" Romeo was playing with a thin mobile phone in his hand, but his smiling eyes only stared at her, his blue pupils seemed to be dyed The golden color of the sun is so dazzling that people can't open their eyes.Today he looked like an innocent college student in a navy-inspired Jil Sander lead white coat.The worn-out Diesel jeans tightly wrapped his legs, making his legs slender and slender, reminiscent of a deer running freely in the dense forest. "I don't mean that from time to time. But... you should be very busy?" Liu Xia felt that this incident was too dramatic. A professional killer actually became his full-time driver?How is this so confusing? "Don't worry, when I have work, I will ask for leave in advance and find someone to do it for me." Romeo winked at her. "You know, I don't have work every day." Liu Xia looked at him speechlessly, and repeated in a low voice: "Let's drive." If Romeo plans to change his career as a driver in the future, Liu Xia will advise him not to mess around in this industry.Compared with yesterday, today's speed is even more frighteningly fast.I wonder if this is his professional disease?As a killer, you sometimes evade pursuit, right? After an exaggerated brake, the car finally stopped steadily near the school.Liu Xia's face was completely stiff, she could only be thankful that she didn't spit out all the things she ate for breakfast... Although this driver is really not very good, I still have to say thank you anyway.Liu Xia thanked him and hurriedly got out of the car with her bag. "Liu Xia!" He rolled down the window and called out to her. "What?" She stopped. "Call me after school and I'll pick you up." He smiled at her. Liu Xia knew it was useless to refuse, so she nodded to him and turned around. "Liu Xia," he suddenly called her again from behind, "in fact, sometimes you can change your mood and way of thinking by changing your angle. Although you can't change your life for the time being, why don't you use common sense? to change his life?" Liu Xia's footsteps stopped for a few seconds, and then continued to walk towards the school. As soon as she walked into Julio's studio, she saw Shizuka and Camilla sitting in their old seats and chatting.Just when she was struggling with how to strike up a conversation more naturally, Camilla had already waved to her with a smile. Her bright smile looked as bright as the Scandinavian sunshine. Obviously, this girl had long forgotten The unhappiness of last night. "I'm sorry yesterday, Liu Xia, you also know my temper, you can't hide anything." Camilla said and handed her a cup of hot coffee, "Shizuka is right, this is your choice, we Nobody can interfere." Liu Xia took the coffee and looked at Shizuka gratefully. It seems that she must have helped persuade a lot of good things yesterday. "But you live there alone, be careful in everything. If you need help, just tell Shizuka and me. Just treat us as your natal family." When she said the last sentence, she laughed herself Yes, those shining eyes are as mysterious and beautiful as Nordic lasers. She is indeed a beauty through and through.Liu Xia couldn't help but secretly sighed psychologically. As the students arrived one after another, Professor Julio hurried in with a few books between his hands as usual. His clothes were still so disheveled, and his long chestnut-colored hair was loosely loose, half-hiding his handsome face that didn't match his outfit at all. He put the book aside, looked around at the students in the studio, and finally set his sights on Camilla.But it was only for such a moment, he quickly looked away, and asked casually: "How are you preparing for the works selected for the Margherita competition?" The students began to answer freely, some said that they had just started to draw, some said that they had already painted halfway, and some said that they had finished the painting. In short, there were all kinds of answers... Although everyone's level is different, they are still very good. Confidence, maybe I got used to being scolded by Professor Julio. Julio waited for everyone to report, and suddenly asked again: "What about you two?" When he asked this question, his eyes were obviously looking in the direction of Liuxia and Avrona. Avrona took the question calmly: "Professor, I still need a little time. The task I drew this time requires a lot of time to observe." Julio nodded, and looked at Liuxia again. Liu Xia didn't hide it either." "I'll finish the painting soon." As soon as she finished saying this, she immediately felt that Avrona gave herself a quick glance.Although it was only for a short moment, Liu Xia had already caught the meaning of that look - obviously the other party thought she would make the same mistakes again. "Very good." Julio looked at Liu Xia with an inexplicable gaze, and said a few words of encouragement to the students for the first time. Today's class practice is still life sketch.Everyone concentrated on drawing in front of their respective easels, and after pointing out a few students, Professor Julio seemed to remember something, and hurried towards the door again. Seeing him walk out of the studio, Camilla suddenly picked up her sketchbook and followed him. "Professor!" She caught up with him around the corner of the stairs. Julio stopped in his tracks: "What's the matter? Camilla?" "Professor, I have a question for you." She said and handed over the sketchbook. Julio took the sketchbook with some confusion, "Is it about sketching? You want to ask—" After turning a few pages, he suddenly stopped talking, and his eyes stayed on a certain page for a long time.I saw that the sketch was sloppy, but the lines were extremely agile, especially the charm between the eyebrows and eyes of the character, which was vividly expressed.However, what surprised him was that this character turned out to be himself. "Professor, how is my drawing?" Camilla looked at him with a smile. "Very good." As a professional, he can naturally feel that there seems to be something deeper hidden behind this sketch. "Then take it as a gift." She blinked, "I'm sorry, when I went to the office two days ago, Teacher Elena was sorting out the materials, and I accidentally saw that you came to this school today six years ago It’s the inauguration day of the school, so I wanted to draw this as a gift for you. Just take it as a small congratulation.” "Thank you, then I'll accept it." Julio smiled and looked straight into her eyes, as if trying to see some clues from there.Her eyes were bright and clear, like the blue sky without any impurities.Sometimes it's really strange how she can combine such clear eyes with such a sexy body. "Thank you for accepting my gift." Camilla shrugged, "Then I'm going back to the studio." Just when she turned around, she suddenly heard Professor Julio say something very succinctly: "Nine o'clock tomorrow night, La Seine." Camilla was stunned for a moment, and turned her head in disbelief. Although they had had coffee together before, it seemed to be the first time to invite her to dinner formally like this.And, La Seine is a very upscale French restaurant in Rome.This doesn't seem to fit Professor Julio's style at all... Of course, that doesn't matter. "I see, I will definitely be there on time." She nodded, turned around and left gracefully. Julio looked at her back, then looked down at the sketch in his hand, the heart in his chest swayed slightly for some reason. Was the invitation just now a spur of the moment, or... It didn't seem like his character anymore either. After Camilla returned to the studio, Shizuka showed her a meaningful smile.Liu Xia had already noticed the faint ambiguity between her and Julio, so she just smiled and said nothing. "Shizuka, don't laugh so eccentrically, I know you saw the sketch I drew last night. Yes, I gave it to him just now." Before anyone could speak, Camilla admitted up. "What sketch? Could it be Professor Julio's sketch?" Liu Xia just asked tentatively, and knew from Shizuka's smile that her guess was completely correct. "Then what did he say? Were you moved enough to cry?" Shizuka made a rare joke. Camilla rolled her eyes, "It's not that exaggerated, but he seems very happy." "Is that so?" Upon hearing the gossip about a good friend, Liu Xia suddenly became interested. "Of course it's more than that." Camilla couldn't hide the excitement on her face, and lowered her voice, "You know? He invited me to have dinner with him tomorrow night." "So - what about after dinner?" Liu Xia deliberately prolonged her tone. "Of course I'll be back after dinner." Camilla took the opportunity to pinch her, "I don't know what you're thinking, don't think that we Nordic girls are very open, I'm also very conservative!" "Where is that, that's not what I meant." Liu Xia quickly denied it with a smile.For some reason, when I was with them, I temporarily forgot about my unpleasant situation, and my mood naturally became more relaxed. At this moment, Liu Xia suddenly felt two disgusted eyes looking at her. She turned her head and found that the eyes came from classmate Anna.Maybe it was really a grudge in the previous life. From the moment she entered the school, she and this woman were completely at odds, and there had been several conflicts in the open and in the dark. Of course, she still has the upper hand every time. The most beautiful end of the day came, and the students packed up their things as usual and prepared to leave the studio.Liu Xia also carefully put away her charcoal pencil, took out her mobile phone and planned to send a message to Romeo first. "Liu Xia, Camilla, I have something to do today, so I'm leaving first." After answering a phone call, Shizuka hurriedly said goodbye to them and left. Camilla showed a mysterious expression at Liu Xia, "Needless to say, this guy must be on a date again." Liu Xia smiled and agreed.But at the same time, she also felt a little curious. For a girl as perfect as Shizuka, what kind of outstanding man does she need to be worthy of her?Even if he is not a young talent, he must be an elite of the upper class, right? "Hahaha!" Anna's unscrupulous laughter suddenly came from the side.At this time, the classmate was almost halfway through, and she was leaning against a corner of the wall, talking loudly with her two buddies. Liu Xia and Camilla looked at each other, and saw the corners of each other's eyes twitch at the same time. Just when Liu Xia was sending a message with her mobile phone, she suddenly heard Anna's sharp voice, "Really? Did you see Toto and Emma shopping together?" Hearing this familiar name at first, Liu Xia still feels a dull pain in his heart. He would never know what she had done for Meraviglia. Of course, she would never tell him either. As long as he and Meraviglia can live happily, that's enough. "Let me just say, some people just don't have self-knowledge and are not worthy of Toto at all. In fact, cheating on the Earl is also fake news. He is a nobleman anyway, so how could he be so blind?" Anna babbled. Jeremy said, several students also cast their eyes on Liu Xia. "This disgusting woman has started to lose her nerve again." Camilla couldn't hold back anymore, and when she was about to refute a few words, Liu Xia pressed her down. "Ignore her, let's go." Liu Xia put the phone in his pocket, and picked up his bag. "Look, as soon as you say this, some people want to run away." Anna said louder, and her tone was more contemptuous, "I don't even look at who I am, if any earl really takes a fancy to her, I will cut off my head Throw it down the Neva River. I hate these smug Asians." Pop was already planning to dodge, but when he heard this sentence, he stopped in his tracks, and when he turned his head, he immediately put on a mask hiding his knife behind a smile, "Student Anna, what did you say just now?" Anna still stared at her abnormally this time, "I said I hate Asians like you, and you create a bunch of falsehoods when no one loves you." Liu Xia only felt a burst of anger welling up in her heart, and unconsciously clenched her fingers tightly. She had the urge to beat someone up, right now. "Who said my girlfriend is unloved?" At this moment, a gentle and soothing voice suddenly came from the door. The voice had a unique and wonderful charm, which made people feel intoxicated in a trance.Liu Xia turned her face away in disbelief... The afterglow of the setting sun intertwined and reflected on the man's body, as if setting off the gorgeous appearance of the leading actor in a stage play.He is like a character who came directly from the road of oil painting, exuding a low-key noble luxury.Just standing there so quietly seemed to make people see an unbelievable hallucination - countless golden vines that were popular in the Renaissance bloomed silently around him. People who study art have a unique perception of beauty.There are many kinds of cents.Some beauties make people feel pity, some beauties make people admire and admire, some beauties make people feel warm and kind, and some beauties make people have the desire to cruelly destroy. And the beauty of this man is clearly inaccessible. The world became quiet all of a sudden, and even the dust floating in the air seemed to be motionless. "Alfonso...you...why are you here?" Liu Xia stuttered and made a sound after being stunned for a few seconds. Alfonso showed his usual elegant smile, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, my girlfriend." He said, he stepped into the studio, but he didn't walk in the direction of Liuxia , but slowly walked in front of Anna. Anna watched the man walk into her slowly, and clearly saw the man's smile solidified in the perfect lines, and the water green eyes stared at her with haze, force and coldness. She suddenly felt a cold breath that seemed to come from the underworld. A bone-piercing coldness spread rapidly from her spine, along the tiny blood vessels and nerves to the whole body, causing her body to tremble. "This classmate, are you saying that my girlfriend is unloved?" His smile is obviously better than that. Anna was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground, she shook her head repeatedly and murmured: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything..." After she mumbled a few words incoherently, she even He staggered out of the studio without taking his bag. Some of the classmates couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to ease a lot. Seeing the woman leaving in embarrassment, Liu Xia really felt relieved, and even thanked Alfonso for his timely appearance to avoid her violent behavior.However, the word "girlfriend" made her feel a little unspeakable melancholy.Confused by such complicated emotions, she subconsciously raised her head to look at him, and found that the other person happened to be looking at her too.When their eyes met, she suddenly felt a subtle bond between them. As if a long time ago - she had seen him.
