I like Wilde because of his talent, but also because of his unique personality, I still remember many of his famous words, the most familiar is "I can resist everything, except temptation". There are also things like "the real perfection of a man is not in what he has, but in what he is."

And "people who love only once in their life are superficial. They call that loyalty, but I call it habitual laziness or lack of imagination. The constancy of emotional life is just like the immutability of intellectual life. It's an admission of failure

Lin Xi'er said that she stayed in this hotel for the third time. Of course, she didn't know Wilde. She stayed in this hotel because of its humanized service.

She told me that the hotel has a Turkish bathroom and a steam bath as well as Baroque rooms with a flat screen TV and a player. Each room is equipped with a mini bar and a pedestal. All air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a rest area, a changing room and free internet connection. The hotel provides continental breakfast every morning. The hotel is 700 meters away from the Louvre, 10 minutes' walk from the subway station, and also provides a connection to the Garnier opera house.

After opening the room, putting down the traveling bag, and having a rest in the room, we decided to set out. Lin Xi'er asked lux to meet at the left bank cafe!

We went to the elevator. I ran on Lin Xi'er and said, "I guess you didn't stay in this hotel alone the last two times, did you?"

She looked at me and said, "does it have anything to do with you?"

"With the French handsome Lucas?" I said.

I thought, since her boyfriend is a male model, it must be very handsome and in good shape, right?

"How can I tell you?" She said at a glance.

I touched my nose and said with a smile, "if you don't tell me, I know. Maybe you went to the Turkish bathroom to take a mandarin duck bath."

Lin Xi'er raised her chin haughtily, stared at me and said, "so what? Anyway, it's not just with you! "

I said with a smile, "if you want to take a mandarin duck bath with me, I have to think about it."

"You're so beautiful!" She hummed.

"No, it's a man's confidence!" I said with a smile.

"It's narcissism She gave me a bad look and said, "I hate men's narcissism!"

"Narcissism is the beginning of a person's romantic life," said the poet Oscar Wilde I looked at her and said with a smile.

Lin Xi'er said with a sneer, "I think narcissism is the beginning of a person's life."

Before going out, Lin Xi'er had put on another colorful silk skirt with broken flowers and specially wore a pair of beautiful Turkish big earrings.

The 1.7-meter-old model is graceful and slim with white skin, compact and three-dimensional face, black hair and big clear eyes. I have to say that there is no doubt that she is a charming beauty.

We went to St. Germain shopping street first. Lin Xi'er bought me a set of Mediterranean style clothes with bright colors and a pair of Tan sunglasses.

Then we went straight to the couple cafe.

Lin Xi'er has made an appointment with her boyfriend Lucas to meet there. I know this is the main purpose of her trip. Of course, I also want to go to this cafe, my purpose is to experience the strong humanistic atmosphere.

Paris, the capital of the world. It's a city where you can watch the time man dance, a city where you can find your own existence. And now, she's in front of me, within reach.

The Seine River, through the city of Paris, divides Paris into the left bank and the right bank. In Paris, the concept of the left bank is not only an area, but also represents a mode of life, a style of dressing or a social style. The cafe on the left bank is also famous for being frequented by literati.

"Double couple" cafe is located in St. Germain's depe square, opposite the city's oldest cathedral.

The double couple caf é has always played an important role in the cultural circles of Paris. Even in the age of war, it is still a vibrant place. There are many famous thinkers, philosophers and novelists here. At that time, it has become a favorite place for the controversial and famous symbolist poets such as Willen and malarambo.

Lin Xi'er and I walked into one of the oldest and most personalized caf é s in Paris one by one. Apart from the two "Oriental" porcelain dolls on the wall, there was nothing particular about the furnishings of the caf é s. Although the wood of the old chairs was shiny, they looked very clumsy.

What's more, the waiters here keep the traditional black-and-white uniform, serve with ease and ease, occasionally have a sense of humor, and treat strange guests like old friends. The atmosphere is usually lively.

There is a sun umbrella outside the shop. Someone is sitting under the sun umbrella drinking coffee and chatting.

Lin Xier also told me not to take the simplicity of the decoration of the "double couple" cafe, but to think that the "double couple" are ordinary people, or tourists who don't know the way. This shop doesn't make money from customers.

Here, anyone who comes into the door casually may be a character. Maybe the man on the table next to you who smokes a pipe is probably the main writer of the city's big newspaper, and the tall, thin man who sits under the doll and opens the book full of labels shows a kind of self mockery while reading it. He writes something in pencil on the book. Maybe he is a famous French writer who sells millions of copiesLin Xi'er asked for a drink, 3. 6 euro, I ordered a stronger one, 7 euro. It is said that this is probably the most expensive and the best coffee on the left bank!

I asked Lin Xi'er why she didn't want the most expensive one instead of the relatively cheap one. What about six euros? She laughed at me and said, "you don't understand! country cousin! I can't make this kind of coffee by coffee machine. It's our signature coffee. Do you understand me? "

I spit out my tongue and find it boring. I just lower my head and take a big bite of the sandwich, eating and drinking while watching.

On the left hand side of Shuangou cafe is the most famous brand store in France, and the large window sticker is Chinese dragon. The oblique angle of the right hand is pearly, and the figure shakes. Opposite the solemn church, calmly overlooking the business world surrounded.

There is also a caf é opposite Shuangou caf é, which is said to be the place where satbova and their existentialist friends talk. Picasso is also a regular. When Qian Zhongshu and his wife Yang Jiang were here, did they come here for a cup of coffee or black tea?

In the hall, the soft light shines on the tables, chairs and walls that have not changed in the past 70 years. Suddenly, in the light and smoke, you can see the thoughts of various colors and shapes flowing at will

next to an old man sitting on the table, with gray hair and a delicate one, slowly spelling her cup.

French women know life taste very well. No matter how old they are, they pay attention to life style, especially in diet. French women would rather have a good piece of dark chocolate than a dozen cheap Snickers.

Before long, a group of four came to the church gate. The lead singer was a young girl. She sang a classic French song "Elaine". With her low romantic voice and French pronunciation, she has experienced music beauty beyond imagination.

We drank coffee and watched the sunset disappear on the back of the church. Time passes by in the smell of coffee and tobacco. Listen to the band.

Life can be so plain, quiet, leisurely and satisfied.

"My name is Elaine.

I'm a girl.

Just like other girls.

Elaine.

I have my joys and sorrows.

They make up my life.

Just like other girls.

I want to find love... "

I feel the humanistic atmosphere of the cafe on the left bank of Paris, but Lin Xi'er looks uneasy. She always looks at the door of the shop and looks out to the square outside the shop from time to time. One hand gently touches the diamond ring on the ring finger of the other hand.

I know her mind. I know why she is upset. She seems to have no taste of coffee today. I'm afraid all her mind is thinking about a man, not me sitting opposite her, but her French boyfriend who doesn't know where she is!

I deeply understand Xi'er's mood of revisiting her hometown. Her mood of returning to Paris is the same as my mood of returning to a small seaside city. The city and Paris are the places where our sweet and sad memories interweave.

Lin Xi'er said that she and her French boyfriend had not seen each other for almost a year. The last time she flew to Paris was last year's national day. At that time, she stayed in the famous hotel we stayed in today, not with me, but with her French boyfriend.

When I was not paying attention to it, she suddenly stood up nervously and looked straight at the square outside the store. She seemed very excited and her eyes were red.

I followed her eyes to look out, I saw a handsome French man, he is coming from the door of the shop, and he also saw Lin Xi'er.

From the figure and temperament of this French man, I quickly determined that this was Lucas, Lin Xi'er's French boyfriend, the French man whom Lin Xi'er loved deeply, the French man who made Lin Xi'er sad and heartbroken, and the French man who made Lin Xi'er drunk all night.

I still remember the last time Lin Xi'er got drunk in a bar. It was the anniversary when her French boyfriend gave her a diamond ring and vowed to her.

Lin Xi'er stood up and left the wooden table. Her expression and movements were all flustered, probably caused by excitement.

On the plane from Milan to Paris, she once expressed her worry in front of me. She worried that Lucas would not come to see her, but she also stubbornly said that she had to wait for him. If she did not come, she would always wait for him in Paris.

Lucas is handsome, has a lot of temperament and has a good taste in his clothes. He stood at the door of the shop, a little stupefied, and then walked to Lin Xi'er with a smile. Lin Xi'er also pushed the chair to meet him.
