In particular, the air of the tavern is filled with the rustling and trivial sounds of chattering and chattering, faintly appearing in the background, far and near, which further accentuates the quietness between Gawain and the girl.
The smile was still hanging on the corner of his mouth, but the awkward atmosphere quietly spread.
Girl, "So today you..."
Gawain, "Then your topic..."
Suddenly, the two people spoke at the same time to break the silence. The words collided and became more and more awkward. The two people politely said to each other, "You first" and "What did you just say?", and a second collision occurred.
When the embarrassment accumulates to a certain level, it doesn't seem so unbearable.
Gawain did not continue to be a gentleman, and took the initiative to ask, "I mean, how was your project today? Is it going well?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the project went very smoothly today. The professor praised our group project, so we came together to celebrate." The girl turned sideways and gestured to the friends next to her.
boom!
"Ho ho ho!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"We, we are talking about us."
Chirping, chirping, one after another, a group of friends all started to cheer.
The girl was a little helpless. She looked at Gawain and rolled her eyes, expressing her helplessness with her eyes.
This made Gawain laugh happily, "Ha, I thought only American college students were like this."
The girl opened her mouth slightly, made a shooting motion towards her heart, then stuck out her tongue and lowered her head, pretending to be a qualified corpse.
Is this because he is unwilling to be humiliated and chooses to commit suicide?
The smile in Gawain's eyes bloomed happily.
The girl sat up straight again, pointed at the group of friends behind her, and waved to Gawain, "I don't know them, I swear I really don't know them."
Behind the girl, there was another burst of ghostly crying and wolf howling. This group of friends also looked very lively. They all looked shocked in various ways, and the atmosphere in the tavern became more and more lively.
The girl ignored them completely and continued to ask very firmly, "What about you? How was your day?"
"Taking a break from the busy schedule." Gawain thought for a while, "I have everything going well today, so I will reward myself with an hour of leisure time in the evening to relax."
The girl was about to open her mouth to say something, but the friends behind her made a sound.
"Emily, aren't you ready to order?"
"So we were abandoned?"
"Is this the same party in a different world?"
Those friends were very cunning and deliberately chose to say these words in English instead of French. Obviously they were not meant for this girl.
A smile overflowed from Gawain's eyes, "I think you should order some food and comfort your stomach after working hard all day. Listen, your stomach has already issued such a strong protest."
Stomach? Protest?
The girl immediately understood that there was something in Gawain's words. Was he complaining about her friends' incomprehension of style? She turned back and looked at her friends behind her——
Obviously, they haven't reacted yet.
The girl looked at the surprised and curious expressions on her friends' faces, laughed happily, and then looked at Gawain, "Then I won't disturb your leisurely relaxation time."
The girl also turned around. It was obvious that her friends refused to let her go, and they all attacked the girl with their teasing and joking.
Although it was in French, none of them could be understood; but the girl held up the menu high and covered her face, blocking her friends out like a wall. This also made her friends more and more excited and excited, and they started to boo and boo.
You can now get a clue as to what he is talking about.
Now, Gawain can finally vaguely understand the specialness of the tavern——
In fact, the real focus should be on the gathering of friends in twos and threes.
With a glass of alcoholic beverage, they can talk and discuss all over the place, what place, what environment and what drink. These are all important but not that important, because the focus should still be on friends and the time shared with friends.
It is precisely because of this that you can see the bustling crowd at the door and even sit cross-legged on the street without caring.
Perhaps, next time we should invite Thiem, Dimitrov, and Raonic to come to the tavern to enjoy a leisurely moment together after training.
From the outside, the life of a professional tennis player must be very happy, flying around the world every week, just like traveling; the problem is that they are not traveling, but competing, and every week
There is a lot of training to be done outside of competition.
More often than not, they are all hotels. The training ground and the competition ground are three points apart. The scenery you see is the scenery of the road from the hotel shuttle bus to the training ground. It is completely different from traveling. There is no difference between cities.
No matter how big it is, the main scenery is the stadium anyway.
This is the case in New York, and it is also the case in the imperial and magical cities.
However, before the game starts, maybe they can take a moment to experience the cultural characteristics of different cities. Even if it is just a glimpse of a fragment, it can make the impression of the city vivid in their minds.
Next time, I'll see if I have time the next time I go back to Paris with my friends to participate in the Masters.
Thinking of this, Gawain did not stay in the tavern anymore, but packed up his things and prepared to return to his residence. There was still a game video to watch and analyze tonight.
In front of the bar, the bartender and waiter, who had seemed cold and aloof before, once again confirmed to Gawain the Chinese they had just learned with a smile on their faces, and enthusiastically hoped that Gawain could visit again, saying repeatedly:
"Next time, I will let you find a red wine you like. There are only two kinds of people in this world, those who like red wine and those who have not yet found their favorite red wine."
The reason is because Gawain didn't drink tonight.
Yes, in the tavern, Gawain did not drink, but ordered mineral water, like an alien——
There is training tomorrow, and the next month is the sprint time. Naturally, Gao Wen will not indulge himself. This little self-control is not a problem at all for Gao Wen.
Looking at the friendly and enthusiastic bartender and waiters, Gawain realized that he seemed to have mastered the method of getting around Paris smoothly, even if he didn't speak French, it didn't matter.
After getting back his tennis equipment bag, Gawain walked towards the door under the escort of the waiter, and said that if there was a chance, they could exchange languages. He would teach them to learn Chinese, and they would teach him to learn French. In this way
, kill two birds with one stone, this is the best.
"……etc."
Someone called out in the tavern, and then you could see a figure chasing after her in a hurry. It was the girl, her expression was a little shy.
"etc……"
Her voice slowly dropped involuntarily, but she still took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, and handed a tissue in her hand to Gawain.
