lucky to meet you

Chapter 42 No matter how unwilling you are to take this road in the future, at least I will be there (2)
"I thought," Gan Tiantian said slowly from listening to stories to discussing, "Italy was not used to provide food, transport, and design some beautiful but practical weapons in World War II ?"

Luca paused, but he didn't expect her to sum it up so brilliantly. He nodded honestly, and added: "Transportation can also make military exploits!"

Gan Tiantian nodded with a suppressed smile: "Well, I understand, you continue."

Being disturbed by her like this made Luca feel even worse, and even the tone of the storytelling could not help but bring a feeling of self-satisfaction: "...so grandpa's grandpa thought that his descendants should continue to walk this way to make the family Glory. However, not everyone is suitable to be a soldier, such as grandpa, such as my father... or me.

"Grandpa failed, so he pinned his hopes on my father. My father died, and grandpa pinned his hopes on me. I am the first child born in this family, so it seems that I have to go this way Road, trying to bring the family glory.

"But ironically, this noble family has been declining."

Gan Tiantian asked an untimely question: "Your family is already in decline?"

What does the declining nobleman look like?It seems that there have been news reports that there are nobles living in old castles in France... Does this feel the same as occupying a hill on Mount Hua?
Luka didn't know what she had imagined, but simply answered Gan Tiantian's question, he nodded and said: "Yes, it has already fallen, in fact, it has been fallen since grandpa was young. .”

"Actually, the title of the Maggio family is not high. The viscount is only the lowest title that can be inherited, and the title is not very useful now, but grandpa is proud of it. The viscount is as important as the oxygen he breathes every day.

"Today was lucky, we didn't have dinner with the 30 or [-] people who were invited by him, and there was no annoying high-class dance party... He likes grand dinner parties, festive dance parties, intricately patterned clothes, and expensive cars Wine, he likes everything that makes him who he is, but he doesn't care what it takes to get it."

Luka bowed his head around Gan Tiantian, and turned his face against the light: "Actually, when my father was still alive, because the expenses were too huge, the family was already financially empty and was about to pass over."

"What happened later?" Gan Tiantian had already seen the aristocratic pie carried by the viscount's grandfather today, and understood the show off in his grandfather's words, so she asked, "But now your family seems to be doing well?"

"Father and uncle, the persuasion of grandpa is not effective at all. In order to maintain the living expenses of the nobles, many declining nobles have now embarked on such a road, which is to open this manor, which is very mysterious to outsiders, and sell everything that is very noble. For example, the red wine that has been preserved for many years in a private wine cellar... This is what my family chose to do. My uncle started a business for this. He used the family's land to plant a large number of grapes, brewed red wine by himself, and sold the manor to the nobles. It is sold under the brand name to attract consumers' attention. This is also Duccio's job now.

"None of us enjoyed the glory brought by the word Viscount, but we all paid a lot to regain its former glory. My father just wanted to be a harpist, my uncle likes gardening, and Duccio... "

"What about you?" Gan Tiantian interrupted him and asked, "What do you like?"

Luca looked down at her, with helplessness and a smile in his eyes, and he did not forget to say sweet words, and confessed: "Me? I want to play the piano for my girl, anytime, anywhere, as long as she wants."

"Literature." Gantian said with a smile, "You should be a literary soldier."

Luca kissed the top of her head.

"Then what happened to your grandma and grandpa? And you lived in Modena when you were a child." Gan Tiantian leaned on his chest and said softly, "And your father has also moved away."

Luca sighed: "She is also a nobleman herself, but she doesn't like the life of a nobleman. Marrying grandpa is considered a marriage, but after marriage, she finds out that grandpa cares more about the title of nobleman than any other nobleman. She hates all of this.

"Later, my grandfather forced my father to give up the harp and become a soldier. My father was also studying at the Modena Military Academy, so my grandmother moved out and lived with my father in Modena. I was also born in Modena, but unfortunately, my father died in the line of duty."

That's why grandma doesn't like grandpa even more. Gan Tiantian turned her eyes to look at Luca sympathetically, only to find that Luca lowered her eyes, as if she was reminiscing about her childhood and the time she spent with her parents.

When Luka was eight years old, his father died unexpectedly. His mother drank and smoked at home every day. The smell of smoke was so strong that it seemed to set the house on fire. None of the mirrors in the room were complete.

After the wine at home is finished, if it is too late to buy that night, she will go to the bar to continue drinking, and no one can stop her.

At that time Luca thought that his mother must love his father very much.

Two years later, my mother remarried to a businessman from Austria. The businessman came to Italy on a business trip. Before returning, he met Luca's mother in a bar.

Luca's father played the harp well, and coincidentally, the businessman appeared in a harp piece on the night he met Luca's mother.

Luca's grandmother took Luca away from the former residence in Modena. Before leaving, Luca took only his father's little harp.

Because during the few years that Luca got along with his father, the only thing his father left him was the skill of playing the little harp.

"Grandma no longer cares about grandpa, since I grew up a bit. Because at that time grandpa also began to ask me to become a soldier in the future, and use military merits to earn glory for the family.

"Grandma believes that things that can decline in the long river of time have already been eliminated. Giving up a name will not lose too much because of it. Maintaining its existence will make future generations too tired.

"Because we haven't gained anything from such a flashy title. But Grandpa is reluctant. He claims to be a descendant of nobility, and he claims to be of noble blood. He is like a king in the last days, and he is reluctant to part with his scepter."

"So in the end, you still agreed." Gan Tiantian said softly.Italians value family just as much as Chinese do, and they are somewhat different from Western values.

"It's not so much a promise, it's more a compromise." Luka was immersed in his past, no pain and regret, only endless emotion, "So, I also embarked on the old road of my father, wanting to complete the previous three. task."

Luka touched Gan Tiantian's face, looked at each other, and said calmly: "Facts have proved that maybe we are not suitable for this profession, and you know my affairs, right? My decision-making ability is very poor, and I am also working I made a big mistake online, and it hurt a lot of people...Fortunately, my life is still alive, and I got to know you because of it..."

"Actually, at the beginning, what I wanted to study was not forensic medicine, but criminal investigation. I also wanted to be like my father and become an outstanding policeman." Gan Tiantian was silent for a moment, not knowing how to tell him something, She could only recall her past, and calmly told him another story, "But my father didn't think I had this talent. Later, when I was admitted to university, I was unfortunately not admitted, but was admitted twice. Assigned to the Department of Forensic Medicine."

Gan Tiantian raised her head and looked at Luca, the dim light softened their facial features into a heart-warming taste, she said slowly, and suddenly became artistic: "Sometimes when you think about it, life is originally It is impossible to be perfect, and what kind of path we choose to take is actually to meet some people, and then some of these people will be willing to accompany us through such a path that we don’t know whether it is right or wrong. "

Gan Tiantian smiled at Luka, put her arms around his neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth lightly: "I also met you because of an unfavorable road."

That's enough, no matter how much you don't want to take this road in the future, at least I will be there.

There seemed to be clear and shallow ripples in Luka's eyes for an instant. He stared intently at Gan Tiantian, and a vague answer rolled out of his throat.Gan Tiantian hugged his waist in the cool night breeze, and then stood up first, as if she was embarrassed by the literary accent and obvious confession just now, she stretched her waist in a concealed manner, and said, "Dear , the story is over, we should go back to bed."

Gan Tiantian took a step forward with her hands behind her back, turned her head to look at a dark garden, and said "uh" deliberately, "It's so beautiful, so glorious."

Luca couldn't laugh or cry, got up to catch up with her, took her hand and put it on his lips and kissed her, full of cherishment.

They entered the hall door, and the hall inside the door was still brightly lit. The handsome middle-aged man was waiting beside the rotating stone steps, bowing respectfully to Luca.

Luka nodded back to him, dragged Gan Tiantian upstairs, and entered his own bedroom.

Luca's room is bigger than Gan Tiantian's classroom, and the interior decoration is a bit indescribable. The head of the bed looks like half a shell, and the chandelier looks like a group of small jellyfish hanging in the air.

Turn off the chandelier and turn on the wall lamp, and there are water-like lighting effects on the four walls.

Gan Tiantian leaned on the wall and looked up, almost wanting to laugh, wondering if there is actually a mermaid hidden in Luka's heart?

Gan Tiantian asked him: "It feels like your house doesn't match the style outside."

Luca felt embarrassed of being seen through his mind. He hugged Gan Tiantian, looked up at the ceiling, and shook his head with a smile: "When I was a child, I read fairy tales, and my favorite was "The Mermaid". When Duccio mentioned it in a chat, he betrayed it to his father, and my uncle deliberately changed the room to look like this."

"Why?" Gan Tiantian was both funny and surprised, "The story is so tragic, and the prince is so stupid."

The prince didn't notice that Li Daitao was stiff until the end, isn't he stupid?

Luca: "..."

He touched his nose: "But the mermaid princess is very beautiful and infatuated."

"Ah, when you were young, you liked being gentle and infatuated. You were innocent and beautiful." Gan Tiantian squinted at him, and teased with a meaningfully drawn-out ending, "Why did you grow up with such a bad taste?"

Luca: "..."

"Honey!" Luka suddenly picked up Gan Tiantian and ran into the bathroom, "Go take a shower and sleep!"

Gan Tiantian was picked up suddenly by him, and her feet were taken off the ground in shock. When she clasped his shoulders tightly, she couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing.

The bathroom in Luka's house is also surprisingly large, and it's like a small bathhouse.

Gan Tiantian was standing in the bathtub halfway through the shower when the bathroom door was suddenly opened from the outside. Her first reaction was to turn to face the wall, and instinctively turned her back to the visitor.

She knew who was coming in without asking.

The water vapor was dense around her, the water flowed above her head, and the water splashed gradually in the bathtub, with a clear and crisp sound.

Gan Tiantian was half annoyed and half angry, without looking back, she said, "What are you doing here?"

Luca leaned against the wall to her left, looking directly at the large mirror on the opposite wall, and a sweet and blurred figure was reflected on the foggy mirror.

Luka unbuttoned the first three buttons of his shirt, moved his neck, and said with a muffled smile, "Let me ask you something."

Gan Tiantian didn't even dare to move, she suppressed her voice and said, "Why can't you wait for me to go out, are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes." Luka said.

"Ask!" Gan Tiantian almost roared.

"I just want to ask: the story is over," Luca got up and took two steps forward, stopped outside the bathtub, and said slowly amidst the sound of water, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Thoughts?" Gan Tiantian was taken aback, "What should I think?"

Luka shrugged at her back: "Any idea is fine, as long as it's yours."

"Let's discuss it," Gan Tiantian said with a blue vein on her forehead, "If you have an idea, get out!"

"Okay." Luca agreed happily.

"You..." Gan Tiantian stared at a drop of water falling down on the wall, thought for a long time before saying, "You won't inherit the title, right?"

Luca let out a muffled laugh, shook his head, frowned, and said without any apology: "I won't, the title is reserved for Duccio, do you think it's okay?"

"Don't bully my brother like this." Gan Tiantian laughed with a "poof" and leaned her hand on the wall stiffly. The other hand was so nervous that she didn't know where to put it. Alright, I'm done, hurry up and get out!"
