He Xin snorted softly, and his consciousness gradually became clearer.
He opened his eyes and saw Ning Hao sleeping soundly on the bed next door. The sun shone through the gaps in the curtains. It seemed that the weather was still good today.
It was just the throbbing pain in his head, reminding him that he had stopped drinking last night, and now he couldn't remember how he left the bar and returned to the hotel room last night.
That kind of chilled Italian white wine tastes sour and delicious, and I drank too much without realizing it.
Yesterday afternoon, with much anticipation, they received three invitations to the awards ceremony, which meant that "Incense" was bound to win the award. Despite their ecstasy, the only flaw was that the four of them had only three invitations.
He Xin and Ning Hao were definitely going to attend, but since they were two country bumpkins who didn't understand foreign languages, they naturally needed Xiao Douding to translate, so they had no choice but to grieve Sister Na and stay behind in the hotel.
Fortunately, Sister Na is also very open-minded. In addition, she is a person who doesn't like to be in the public eye. In her words, this time she just came here to join in the fun because of her boyfriend. There is no need to count her in the account.
He Xin struggled to sit up, picked up the watch on the bedside table and looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock, more than an hour later than when he usually got up and went out for a run. But in Italy, people here had just gotten up at this time.
The time is equivalent to seven o'clock in China.
He got up from the bed, walking a little unsteadily, and he would definitely not be able to go for a run. After washing up and washing his face with cold water, he finally felt a little more awake.
He didn't wake up Ning Hao. Under normal circumstances, this guy would sleep until at least eleven or twelve o'clock. He changed into a plaid shirt, a pair of khaki cropped pants, and put on a pair of canvas sneakers.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw the translator Xiao Douding walking out of the next room in casual clothes.
"Good morning, boss!"
Xiao Douding waved to him enthusiastically, but seeing his sluggish look, he smiled and said: "Boss, are you still drunk?"
Just in time, He Xin hurriedly asked: "How did I come back last night?"
"How else could I come back? Haozi carried you back! I didn't expect you to be so big. How could you have such a bad drinking capacity? You drank even one bottle!"
He Xin silently said that he was born with a bad ability to drink, and there was nothing that could be done about it. But recalling the taste of the white wine he drank last night, he asked again: "What kind of wine did I drink last night?"
"The Trida white wine from Da Vinci Winery! I ordered it. How do you like it? It tastes good, right?"
"Is it expensive?"
"Don't worry, it's not expensive. It's only thirty euros a bottle in the bar! And it was Ning Hao's treat yesterday."
“So it’s definitely cheaper to buy it from outside?”
"Of course, other people's bars also have to make money. I guess the price outside is only 20 euros a bottle at most."
Although He Xin doesn't like to drink foreign wine or red wine, the white wine last night tasted good, and he has always been a person who likes to go out and buy something back. Since many of the souvenirs here are from Yiwu, China, he thought of buying them.
It would be nice to take two boxes of this wine home and give it away.
"After breakfast later, you can help me look for it together. I want to take two boxes back."
"Hehe, no problem. Can you treat me to breakfast?"
"no problem!"
The two of them still came to the small restaurant not far from the hotel that they had frequented in the past two days. Nine o'clock was still too early for the locals, and the restaurant was deserted.
He was considered a regular customer. As soon as he walked in, he warmly greeted the white-bearded man who was leaning on the counter reading a newspaper and found a seat by the window to sit down.
He Xin ordered a croissant as usual, then hesitated and ordered a cup of Italian coffee. It is said that coffee is the favorite of Italians. A cup of Italian coffee with croissant bread is a bit like the Chinese soy milk with flatbread dough sticks.
But when the breakfast ordered by Xiao Douding was brought to the table, He Xin couldn't help but frown. This kind of breakfast is mixed with fresh squid ink and noodles, then cooked with squid ink, and then fried with onions, cuttlefish meat, and parsley.
The side dishes were mixed together to form a big dark mass, which is said to be a specialty of Venice and can be found in almost every restaurant. However, He Xin became nauseated when he saw it, and he always thanked him politely.
Seeing his appearance, Xiao Douding deliberately rolled up a bunch of noodles with his fork, handed it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "Boss, try it, there is no fishy smell at all, it is very elastic, chewy, and tastes good."
Extremely delicious!”
"Yes, yes, you'd better enjoy it by yourself!" He Xin quickly turned his head to the side.
Xiao Douding stuffed the noodles into his mouth, chewing them beautifully, and murmured: "Boss, although you are a big star, you are actually quite boring! You are young, but your mentality is so conservative, nothing new.
Don’t dare to try things.”
"..."
He Xin wanted to refute but couldn't think of anything for the moment. Well, according to his mental age, he would already be in his forties now.
He rarely thinks about things in his previous life now, and is more and more integrated into his current identity. But when he thinks about himself in his previous life, and then looks back at himself now, it feels like a dream.
Seeing him looking out the window silently, Xiao Douding thought he was angry, and said hurriedly: "Boss, don't mind. My greatest advantage is that I tell the truth. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being conservative. Look at Haozi.
You are several years older, but you are much more mature and experienced than him in dealing with people, and you don't look like someone who is just in his early twenties at all."
He Xin came to his senses and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"
"Of course I'm complimenting you! Didn't I just say that my biggest advantage is to tell the truth. A boy like you makes people feel very reliable at first glance, unlike Haozi who is so arrogant!"
Then Xiao Douding changed the topic again and said: "Boss, you really should learn English well. You see, Xiaona should go to this award ceremony. It's because you don't understand foreign languages that you, an outsider, get an advantage."
.Consider my previous suggestion, I’ll give you a half discount, and that’s it!”
As he spoke, Little Douding opened his five fingers and waved them in front of his eyes.
"Fifty! You can consider this." He Xin said deliberately.
"Hey..." Xiao Douding became furious upon hearing this.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. We have to go shopping later. Didn't you say you don't have any clothes to attend the red carpet of the closing ceremony tonight? It's under one hundred euros. You can choose whatever you want. I'll treat you!"
When Xiao Douding heard this, his hand that was about to slap the table suddenly stopped, and he said with a flattering face: "Boss, it's only one hundred euros. This is too stingy. Can it be raised a little more?"
He Xin looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "One hundred euros is enough for me. I don't know if there is a size like yours in the store. How about considering Haozi's suggestion yesterday?"
"Boss, you..."
Xiao Douding suddenly looked resentful.
Yesterday, when Xiao Douding learned that she would have the opportunity to attend the closing red carpet, she was very excited, but immediately began to worry that she didn't have a decent skirt to wear. She couldn't wear a T-shirt and jeans on the red carpet, right?
At the same time, she was even more worried that it was really difficult to buy clothes for someone with a pocket-sized body like hers. Ning Hao immediately suggested that she go to a children's clothing store to have a look, saying that there would definitely be some clothes in her size.
