Chapter 38 ten years

The sky was gray, as if going to the cemetery to remember a friend should encounter such weather. The remote St. Mary's Church was originally a deserted place.Except for prayer days, there are basically no people here.The cemetery next to the church is even more sparsely populated.Only on special days every year, people will think of those relatives and friends who have passed away. Some of the steles in the cemetery have fallen down, some have been eroded by the years so that the name of the deceased cannot be seen, and some even have only a mound left.But in the east corner, there are three granite tombstones that are always as new, and the flowers in front of the white cross are always in bloom.

At this moment, an incomparably handsome European man is half-kneeling in front of the tombstone, carefully cleaning up the newly grown weeds.Even though he was doing such rough work, he still couldn't hide his innate nobility and elegance.The cuffs of the expensive gray shirt on his body had already been stained with dirt, but he didn't take it seriously at all, instead he did it more carefully.And the beautiful oriental woman beside him was not idle, busy tracing the somewhat faded font stroke by stroke with a special golden paint. Here lie our most memorable friends and brothers, may God have mercy on their souls.

------ Alfonso & Liu Xia. "I've already finished writing, Alfonso, where are you?" Liu Xia said while getting up.Ten years passed by, but it didn't seem to leave any marks on her face, but it added a bit of young woman's charm to her. "It's almost the same here." Alfonso brushed off the dust on his body and stood up. "By the way, there is one last thing." Liu Xia smiled faintly at him, took out a small bottle of Russian vodka from her carry-on bag, took a sip into her mouth, and then poured the rest in the in front of one of the tombstones.

"Romeo, you can't drink too much in that world, you know?" There was an indescribable sadness hidden under her smile, "Only this time." The hard granite tombstones have a bleak white luster, stinging the softest corners of people's hearts.Time flies, no matter how good the memory is, everything lost can never come back. "Alfonso, it's great that you survived." She said in a low voice. Alfonso was silent for a while, "I also thought I would never see you again. I didn't expect that God would still let me go. It just ruined my left leg."

"Then aren't we more compatible now?" Liu Xia smiled, "At that time, if you had come to me later, maybe I would have married someone else." "In the beginning, I really didn't want to disturb your life anymore. Since I gave you freedom, I shouldn't drag you into this muddy water. But when I saw the report about you and my son, I didn't want to I can't hold back anymore..." Alfonso paused, his eyes flickering with a faint luster, "I didn't expect that it would be my child." Liu Xia blushed slightly, "Aren't you afraid that I will reject you again?"

He looked at her deeply, his eyes were so focused, "Do you remember what I said? That night, I thought we loved each other. Perhaps it is for this reason that I can live to see you again." At this moment, a burst of soft Japanese came from behind them.When Liu Xia turned her head, she saw a gentle and beautiful Japanese woman pulling a five or six-year-old child towards this direction. Those familiar eyebrows, graceful movements, and unrestrained demeanor...everything seemed to have been seen before. Her pupils constricted suddenly, and she shouted, "Shizuka!" As soon as the voice fell, the woman immediately froze in place.Time seemed to freeze in an instant.

"Liu Xia...?" The woman opened her eyes wide in disbelief, with indescribable joy overflowing from her eyes, "Why are you here?" "We have settled in China now, but we often come here to see them." Liu Xia looked at the cute little girl, "Is this your daughter?" Shizuka nodded, "I also got married six years ago. The other party is an ordinary teacher. Although I live an ordinary life, I am very satisfied. People from my natal family have never interfered in my marriage. All of this must be Thank you Parker. He gave me the courage to pursue my freedom again." As she spoke, she glanced at Alfonso again, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.

"Liu Xia, are you happy now?" Shizuka asked this sentence in Chinese. Liu Xia smiled slightly, "I'm very content." She hesitated for a moment, and then asked in Chinese, "Shizuka, do you still love Parker?" Shizuka stared at Parker's tombstone, with a vague expression on her face, "Some people can't be forgotten in a lifetime. He is in my heart, and no one can replace him. Liu Xia's eyes accidentally landed on Shizuka's slightly bulging abdomen, and she couldn't help asking in surprise, "Shizuka, do you..." Shizuka smiled softly, "I hope this time he will be a smart and healthy son."

The sky gradually darkened, and stars were already looming in the distant sky.The candles in the church swayed gently, filling the air with orange warmth. But the light of hope that burns deep in people's hearts is warmer than candlelight and brighter than stars. When returning to the airport, Liu Xia bought some snacks in the duty-free shop, and prepared to coax Amor, who was temporarily entrusted to his parents.This little guy must still be angry that he wasn't brought out this time.In addition, we need to buy some cosmetics for Margaret. The girl who used to be weird and elf has grown into a beautiful girl now.After being together with Alfonso ten years ago, she went to Lisa's hometown in Switzerland, and brought Marguerite who was placed there with her.

A family should live together. The most beloved football news of the Italians is being played on the TV screen at the airport, and the most interesting thing recently is the retirement exhibition game of the international superstar Toto. The picture returned to the home stadium of the Roma team. Thousands of fans held up huge banners and sang the Roma team anthem in unison, waiting for the appearance of their heroes... Roma Roma Roma core de'sta citta unico grande amore de tanta e tanta gente che fai sospira Rome, Rome, Rome the heart of our city our only true love Thousands of people who support you

is what you expect... The vigorous and powerful singing resounded throughout the stadium, and countless fans burst into tears.Toto, wearing a Roma jersey, stood for the last time on the stadium where he played for his whole life, smiling and waving his hands to the fans. The commentator choked up and introduced to everyone, "Toto is the hero in the hearts of all our Italians. He led the Roma team to win eight league championships, four European Cup championships and one World Cup championship. Toto, who has never married He put all his energy into his career, but because of injuries, he had to leave the stage at the end of the day..." Unknowingly, the frivolous and flamboyant boy in the past is no longer young.From the age of 18 to 35, seventeen years of professional league life have cultivated his calm and introverted character.But in Liu Xia's view, he is still the energetic young boy from Positano back then. When the fans pulled out the biggest banner, the big red characters "GRAZIE, TOTO! (Thank you, Toto!) immediately made Toto burst into tears. Thank you, Toto, for walking with us for so many years. Thank you, Toto, for playing the Italian national anthem at the World Cup. Thank you, Toto, for never giving up on football and us even with setbacks. Thank you, Toto, you are the one who told everyone that a person may not have a wealthy background or peerless talent, but as long as he works hard, he will succeed one day. "Liu Xia, it's time to board the plane. If I keep crying, I'll be jealous." Alfonso smiled and handed over a napkin. Only then did Liu Xia realize that she was already in tears.Embarrassed, she took the napkin and wiped away her tears. "You should think about how to coax our son back home." Alfonso took her hand a little domineeringly, and hurried towards the boarding gate. "Hey, your hand hurts me so much..." "Who told you to watch other men drooling..." "Who is drooling, I'm crying, okay?" This man really can't change his strong personality, his hands are almost broken. It really hurts...so painful...but so happy. Day by day, I just want to spend it peacefully with you. I want to spend the next ten years, twenty years, and our lifetime with you. And so it becomes forever. eternal love, forever warm, forever and always.
