lucky to meet you

Chapter 5 No way, Chinese people are reserved by nature, I have to "picture it slowly" (1)
Gan Tiantian walked all the way to the downtown square with her bag on her back according to the route in memory, thinking that it was a blessing in misfortune that she only had this luggage.

She found a nearby home in the square with a simple and elegant decoration style. There were a row of contract machine display cabinets around the transparent glass wall. The logo was in red on a blue background, which seemed to be the shop of a telecommunications company.

Gan Tiantian was self-sufficient, and used English to get a phone card with a beautiful Italian clerk with a strange pronunciation, and also chose a quite affordable mobile phone package.

When she came out of the shop, she encountered another difficulty. She felt that the first priority should be to find a place to stay, but since she got off the plane yesterday morning, she has not had a serious meal. Waiting for her to relax now When she got down, she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she could barely keep her eyes open just because of the jet lag and the sleepiness and exhaustion.

"Just sleep for a while." Gan Tiantian sat back on the little bench where she was waiting for Mao Jiajia yesterday, hugged her bag tightly, and nodded two o'clock with her head like a chicken pecking at rice After that, he fell into a drowsy sleep.

"Hey! Miss, you'll catch a cold if you sleep like this."

Gan Tiantian didn't know how long she had been asleep, when suddenly someone whispered something in her ear and pushed her shoulder.She opened her eyes in a daze, and the man squatted on the ground against the light, propped his upper body up with his hands on his knees, and a face that was mostly blocked by sunglasses was in front of her eyes.

Gan Tiantian: "?!"

What's the situation?Gan Tiantian's body reacted one step ahead of her brain. While she leaned back, she raised her hand and pushed the man back against his forehead. The man was caught off guard and fell back on the ground.

"Hey! You!" The man was not annoyed, he sat on the ground and complained a few words in weird English, adjusted his sitting posture, and stood up with his hands on his knees.He hooked the sunglasses down with the index finger of the other hand, letting it rest on the bridge of his nose, revealing a pair of deep brown pupils, and said to Gan Tian helplessly, "You are too alert, Miss forensic doctor."

Gan Tiantian finally came to her senses. This is—that policeman named Guang? !

"I'm sorry, you scared me just now." Gan Tiantian stood up slowly, bent down and handed him a hand, "I'll pull you up."

"Seeing you resting here, I don't know if it's a coincidence for us or the city is too small." Luca smiled lazily at the corner of his mouth, handed her his hand to stand up with her strength, and asked her in a casual tone, " Are you waiting for someone here? Oh yes, I forgot, you are new here and have no home yet, is this?”

His deep magnetic voice was full of smiles: "Temporarily homeless?"

Gan Tiantian couldn't help trembling when she heard the words, she just felt that these two normal words were inexplicably uttered by his gorgeous voice with a sour and numb feeling, as if they still had enough battery, the corners of her mouth twitched, solid and solid I will feel numb when I get an electric shock.

"Yes." Gan Tiantian nodded helplessly, and asked with concern, "Have you figured out the house? How is my roommate?"

Luka shrugged and said he had no comment, and only replied vaguely: "The matter is still under investigation, but your roommate has been released on bail by her Chinese boss."

Gan Tiantian's eyes lit up, and she regained her spirits immediately. She apologized to Luka, found out the mobile phone number that Mao Jiajia had left for her from WeChat, and dialed it.

Now that Mao Jiajia has left the police station, as her intermediary, Mao Jiajia should be able to continue to perform her duties. Among other things, it is okay for her to ask Mao Jiajia for a suitable temporary residence, right?

Mao Jiajia has been studying in Italy for a long time, and she must have a wider network than her.

Gan Tiantian waited for Mao Jiajia on the other end of the phone to answer the call.Sure enough, Mao Jiajia's boss heard about her experience and provided her with a single room for her to live in temporarily. After Mao Jiajia communicated with the boss, the boss was also willing to rent Tiantian short-term, and the rent was quite small.

Gan Tiantian hung up the phone overjoyed, and waved goodbye to Luka with her bag on her back: "Mr. Police, I'm leaving first, thank you!"

"Goodbye, you're welcome." Gentleman Luca bowed halfway, made a gesture of "willing to help you", and replied jokingly, "Miss Forensic Doctor."

The Chinese restaurant Mao Jiajia mentioned is not too far from the city center. According to her description, Gan Tiantian walked for about ten minutes, turned into a commercial street with a lot of restaurants, and walked about 20 meters inside, and she saw a restaurant. A mahogany and gold-rimmed plaque is hung on the shop, with four familiar Chinese characters written on it - "Dragon City Restaurant".

Gan Tiantian pushed the door open without hesitation and walked in.

It is said to be a restaurant, but this Chinese restaurant is not very big, but it is only a restaurant with a hundred square meters.

There weren't many customers in the store at the moment, only a young girl who didn't look very old was standing on the cashier counter, and she was busy sorting out the bills.

"Excuse me," Gan Tiantian stood at the door and asked politely, "Is Mao Jiajia working here?"

The little girl raised her head in response, and said with a smile: "You are just sweet, she is in the back hall, you wait, I will call her."

After she finished speaking, she raised her voice and shouted into the store in a heavily accented southern dialect.

After a while, Mao Jiajia ran out, both of her sleeves were rolled up high, and she still held a bunch of keys in her hand. Seeing Gan Tiantian, she said, "The lady boss has gone home, I will take you to their staff first." The dormitory, let's huddle there for now."

Gan Tiantian went out with Mao Jiajia within 2 minutes after she came in.

Mao Jiajia said that the proprietress bought a four-bedroom, one-living room staff dormitory in an old apartment building not far from the restaurant. residence.

While chatting with Gan Tiantian, Mao Jiajia opened the door of the room, invited her in, and said that she must bring Gan Tiantian to meet the proprietress some other day, and thank the proprietress in public.

The layout of the proprietress' house is very strange, there is no living room, four bedrooms are lined up, and the kitchen and toilet are at the far right corner.

Mao Jiajia opened the door of the corner room, turned her head and said to Gan Tiantian, "Here, this is our room. The furniture is fairly complete. There are two beds, and each of us happens to have one bed."

Gan Tiantian unloaded her schoolbag and put it on the table. Mao Jiajia looked at her personal property that was not lost in the fire, sighed sourly, and said, "Pack up your things, I'll go back to the store first, I'm now I'm poor and white all over, and I just count on this job to earn money."

"Oh, yes, that's right!" Gan Tiantian heard the voice of her words, and without thinking too much, she stopped Mao Jiajia, who was about to go out, "Is there wifi in the house? My phone's network service has not been activated yet, I think Contact the country."

"Yes, wait, I'll get you the password." Mao Jiajia turned around and tore off a palm-sized piece of paper from the wall, and handed it to her when she came back, "The [-]-digit number on the bottom line is the password, and the one on the top is the password." The name of our network."

Gan Tiantian looked at another string of passwords with mixed uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers, and her fingers trembled a little.

"You lose, just stick this piece of paper back on the wall." After explaining, Mao Jiajia thoughtfully closed the door for her, and went back to the store to continue working.

After Gan Tiantian connected to the wifi, the first thing she did was to send her brother a WeChat message.

After 5 minutes, her brother replied her with five words: "What's going on?"

Gan Tiantian stopped her finger on the screen, thought for a while and sent him a voice message, but there is no way, it is a bit too many words to describe this matter in detail.

She briefly described the main events that happened in the short 24 hours from yesterday when her bag was stolen to seeing Mao Jiajia, to today when the house was burned and found to be violating regulations.

There was a moment of silence on the other side of WeChat, and her brother replied with a sweaty expression, and added a heavy joke: "Sister, didn't we go to Italy to learn Buddhist scriptures?"

"If I get the Bible back, will someone build the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for me?" Gan Tiantian replied with a wry smile, "I guess it doesn't fit the city."

After Gan Tiantian complained, she sent a happy emoji to her mother, and added a sentence: "The first day in Italy, everything is fine."

The typical report of good news but not bad news made her almost cry.

After a while, her mother replied what she least wanted to see: "Graduate and come back early, and I found a few more partners for you today. They are all very nice, but I don't know if I can wait until you come back to meet."

Gan Tiantian replied with a complicated mood: "Got it."

When it was four o'clock in the afternoon, Mao Jiajia took advantage of the restaurant's lunch break to close, and ran back to take Gan Tiantian to a nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities.The two carried their bags home, and Mao Jiajia said apologetically to Gan Tiantian that he might not be able to act as an intermediary for her anymore and help her with various documents.

Because Mao Jiajia also lost her ID card, she has to work part-time these days and has to find time to reissue it. It is also very troublesome to travel back and forth between cities.

Mao Jiajia was quite honest: "I'll tell you what to do, and then you can try it yourself. I will apply for a refund of the fees you paid me. What do you think?"

Gan Tiantian can only say yes.According to Mao Jiajia's instructions, she searched for information on the Internet and did enough homework.And because her report time is the day after tomorrow, she has to go to the tax card tomorrow morning to get the tax card done, and in the afternoon, take the tax number slip, and then go to the post office to mail the residence permit application envelope.

The next day, Gan Tiantian woke up at 06:30.

She thought to get up early to get the number and finish the process early, and then she would go to the post office to mail the envelope.

Carrying a satchel with all her relevant documents in it, she took two buses to arrive at the tax card office.

When Gan Tiantian arrived, it was only around 08:30. Sure enough, there were two long queues in front of the office, all foreigners waiting for the staff to go to work at nine o'clock, and then opened the door to draw a number.

Gan Tiantian was at the end of the queue, took out her iPad, and started reading the original English version of detective novels out of boredom.

At 11:30, the number on the electronic card finally jumped to her 110 number three, followed by the reception window, which was number four.

Gan Tiantian put the iPad in her backpack, took the number slip to the front desk to get a form, and walked to the fourth compartment with her form and number.

As a result, when she was standing at the door of the fourth compartment, she stared at the man who was standing at the desk and chatting lively with the staff, and blurted out: "Why are you again?" ?!"

why you?why is it you again?Why is it always you? !

The variegated plaid shirt on Luca's upper body was unbuttoned three times, revealing his muscular chest muscles. His lower body was a pair of casual suit pants folded around his ankles, and a pair of playful beige leather shoes on his feet.

"Hey——" Luca smiled in surprise, squinting his light brown eyes, putting one hand in his trouser pocket and the other on the desk, and said unexpectedly, "Why is it you again? Ms. Forensic Doctor."

"What kind of job do you do?" Gan Tiantian smiled curiously, "How can I meet you in any industry?"

"This is fate, do you believe it or not?" Luca raised his hand to stroke his bangs, blinked his left eye, and said in English, "God gave me instructions."

Gan Tiantian shrugged her eyebrows, but said nothing.

"You don't believe it?" Luca made an exaggerated surprised expression, and was about to speak when the staff beside him stretched out his fingers helplessly, hooked the hem of his shirt, and spit out a sentence in Italian.

"Ok, Ok!" Luka bowed his head and said back to the staff, then raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Luka looked at Gan Tiantian, beckoned her to come over, watched her sitting on the chair opposite the desk with great interest, put the certificate and the form on the table, pushed it to the staff, and said, "Do you want to guess?" , What did he ask me just now?"

Gan Tiantian shook her head and said, "I don't understand Italian, so just say it."

"He said, if I want to pick you up, please wait for him to complete the tax card for you." Luca blinked with a smile in his eyes.

Why does this sound so familiar?

Gan Tiantian frowned and thought to herself, the staff didn't care about them anymore, he took a pen to Gan Tiantian's passport, and helped her fill in the information that should have been filled in for her stroke by stroke.

"Hey! Don't be in a daze." Luka called her, "You don't want to know, how did I answer?"

"How did you answer?" Gan Tiantian felt that he was like a child entertaining himself, "Say it, I'll listen."

Luka smiled muffledly, with a deep and melodious voice. He was serious and obviously joking, and said: "I told him that he misunderstood. I know that Chinese people are reserved, and I have only met you twice. If now If you say fuck you, you will hit me."

Gan Tiantian: "..." For the first time, she was molested in public by using the insurmountable cultural differences between China and Europe as a cover.

Gan Tiantian is more conservative than open in her bones. She was raised in a loyal Gan family, and her career has strong limitations.She doesn't have many opportunities to get in touch with open ideas and culture.So, she didn't know how to answer him.

Luka didn't urge her either, just leaning on the table with her hands and staring at Gan Tiantian with a smile.The onlookers took sweet forms and entered information on the computer.

The staff marked the places that needed to be signed with "X" and handed her a black ballpoint pen.Gan Tiantian filled in the blanks for her address and mailbox, then immersed herself in signing the pinyin of her name, and pushed the form back.

"Gān Tián Tián..." Luka watched her move, and tried to spell her name according to the Italian spelling rules. As a result, the wrong tongue tip distorted the pronunciation, and he actually gave her the name Read it as "catch every day".

Gan Tiantian: "..."

Luka murmured again and repeated the sound of "Catching Tiantian". He looked up curiously and asked Gan Tiantian, "What's the meaning of your name?"

Gan Tiantian raised her head, met his earnest eyes full of curiosity, and pursed her lips. It was a question that she could choose to skip, but she really answered honestly: "My elder brother's name is GanZhe [pinyin], GanZhe Zhe is a homonym for a kind of fruit. My birth was an accident, and my family didn’t know how to name it for a while, but I remembered that since my eldest brother’s name is fruit, and the fruit is sweet, so..." She twisted with a little stomachache Eyebrows, she spread her hands helplessly, she didn't think the name was sweet at all, "I just call it—Tian Tian."

"Ah!" Lukafu said in an epiphany, "What does your name mean—sweet?"

"That's right." Gan Tian nodded.

Luka squinted his eyes and looked at her with a smile, and a thin trail appeared in the corner of his eyes. After a while, the corner of his mouth twitched, and a rhythmic word rolled out of his throat. The pronunciation was obviously not English: "Dolcinna [Italian]! "

"What?" Gan Tiantian and the staff looked up at him.

"Dlocinna! Well, hurry up, do you have an Italian name?" Luca smiled triumphantly, "It has the same meaning as your name, sweet. Your Italian name is Dlocinna, okay? Let me help you think." Yes, there must be no one with the same name as you."

Gan Tiantian didn't answer him right away, she looked down at the staff's expression, seeing his tangled look of wanting to laugh but holding back the smile, she immediately felt that this guy must be playing tricks.

The staff printed Gan Tiantian's tax ID number to her, and explained to her in English: "Your tax card will be sent to your mailbox within a month. Before that, please don't send this Lost the paper."

Gan Tiantian thanked him, and when she got up, she bent down in front of him, squinted her eyes and said in a low voice, "Please tell me what Dlocinna means?"

Luca immediately stood up straight when he heard the words, pushed the staff member's shoulder with his hand, and said something in Italian with an obvious threat.

The staff didn't buy Luka's account, he laughed, and dismantled Luka's station in English, saying: "He called you Xiao Tiantian!"

Gan Tiantian: "!"

I rely on!Fortunately, I asked in advance, if this is really stupid, I will introduce "please call me Xiaotiantian" when I meet people in the future, it is simply the rhythm of self-recommendation!
