Chapter 361
It is not so much a church as it is a museum.
There are sermon materials available in the church, but there is no place to sell souvenirs. Perhaps an indication that this is a place of religious worship rather than a tourist attraction. However, since today is not a mass day, there are no solemn people praying in the church.
The shrines and inscriptions record the vicissitudes of history of this Catholic church. Jiang Chen took Aisha's hand and just glanced at it as he passed by.
"Is this a Gothic building?" Looking up at the magnificent dome, Aisha put her index finger against her lower lip and asked in a thoughtful manner.
"It should be, I don't really understand. Why do you ask this?" Jiang Chen asked casually.
"Because... I often see goth-style clothes in fashion magazines," Aisha's lips curled slightly, "it feels very cute."
"Haha, but this building doesn't seem to have anything to do with cuteness." Jiang Chen chuckled dryly, looking around at the surrounding scenery.
A priest stands under the main altar, and a couple stands in front of him. The white-haired priest made the sign of the cross on his chest, doing gestures similar to blessing for the two. Aisha noticed that the couple had happy smiles on their faces as they left.
"What are they doing?"
"Should it be to receive the blessing of the Holy Light? For couples, what should be blessed is marriage or something like that." Jiang Chen nonsense.
As if noticing that the two were looking at him, the priest looked over, smiled kindly, and walked towards the two.
"Can I help you?"
Considering Aisha's faith, Jiang Chen was about to decline, but the little girl blinked and said to the white-haired priest.
"Even if you are a pagan, is the blessing effective?"
This question was very abrupt, but the priest was only slightly taken aback, and then he spoke with a pleasant face.
"Of course. It depends on whether you love him or not."
There was a happy smile on Aisha's cold face.
"Well. I love him very, very much."
Jiang Chen felt a little sour on the bridge of his nose.
Aisha's blunt and flawless confession made him a little bit at a loss.
He never denied that he was not a good man. Not only greedy, but also extremely unstable...
The priest looked at Jiang Chen, his eyes seemed to reveal an indescribable insight.
"So, do you love her?"
"I love her." Jiang Chen said affirmatively.
Misty water flickered in Ayesha's eyes, she quietly hugged Jiang Chen's arm, rubbing the corners of her eyes together.
But if you want to say that your only advantage is. That probably means not lying when facing feelings. Although he is suspected of being a sophistry, he is not going to explain anything for it.
A smile appeared on the priest's face.
"May the Lord bless you, and you will surely find happiness."
He made the sign of the cross and prayed for the two of them.
…
When she came out of the church, Aisha was hanging on Jiang Chen's arm. There was a happy smile on his face.
There are blooming white roses swaying beside the tree-lined path, but they can't help being overshadowed by this flawless smile.
It's really rare for her to show such intimacy outside.
Looking at her happy face, Jiang Chen couldn't help but leaned over and kissed that flimsy cheek.
Looking at the face that was gradually turning red, a doting smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Chen was going to take Aisha back to the hotel.
I have to catch a plane tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early today.
That's right, go to bed early, hehe.
But at this moment. Jiang Chen was surprised to hear a familiar voice.
"Feifei, will you marry me?" A man holding a rose kneeled in front of a beautiful girl and said affectionately.
However, the marriage proposal in front of the church did not seem to impress the girl.
"Didn't we agree to talk about marriage when you stabilized?"
Yang Yuan?
Following the voice, Jiang Chen looked at the man standing by the bench with some surprise.
He really didn't expect to meet his college roommate here? !
After graduating from university, the four people in a dormitory basically went their separate ways, except for the first two months, when they occasionally called to check how they were doing, but after forming a new social circle, the four of them rarely went back Contacted. Even if it was Jiang Chen who made a name for himself in the end. None of the three had contacted him.
As for why, Jiang Chen can figure it out more or less, it's probably because he can't save face.
When others are doing poorly, they don't pay attention, and when they are well-known, they will stick to it with shame. There are somewhat philistine tastes in it. Originally, the relationship wasn't particularly deep, and after two years of graduation, the relationship was even weaker, like water. The three of them were also relatively face-saving people, so they didn't contact Jiang Chen.
If you don’t keep in touch, at least you can chat with your friends and colleagues—"That so-and-so, we used to live in the same dormitory. I chatted and laughed happily with him."
This Yang Yuanjiang Chen still has some impressions. Although he is not a professional with him, the friendship between the two is surprisingly good. This guy is the top student in their dormitory, and his family background is not bad. Jiang Chen also only vaguely remembered that he went to a prestigious university in Australia to study as a graduate student after graduation. Before he left, he told Jiang Chen that if he had the opportunity to come to Australia in the future, he must come to see him, and he would be the host for a meal or something.
Of course, Jiang Chen also knew that it was a polite remark.
Counting now, these two years have passed, and he should have finished his graduate studies, and the two of them haven't been in touch since the farewell. Not seeing each other for a long time, the friendship naturally faded. Although it wasn't Jiang Chen's first visit to Australia, he never thought of going to him.
However, meeting by chance today, this feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign country is really indescribable.
It's just that Jiang Chen wasn't sure if it was appropriate for him to go and say hello in this state.
"Give me a little more time, and I will definitely find a job..." Yang Yuan was a little anxious, not knowing what to say.
"Have you considered my feelings? You said that you have stabilized here. I quit my job and came all the way from Huaguo to find you, but now?" said aggressively, the girl's eyes Red looked at him brightly.
Seeing that the old friend's face could no longer be saved, Jiang Chen sighed, and walked towards him with the idea of saving his life.
"Yang Yuan?"
Seeing someone greeting him, Yang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and then exclaimed after seeing the person who came.
"...Brother Chen! Okay, long time no see."
Because he was too surprised, his voice became a little incoherent.
"Long time no see." Jiang Chen smiled.
"This is... sister-in-law?" Yang Yuan looked at Aisha.
"Um."
"Aisha." Aisha briefly introduced herself.
For people other than Jiang Chen, she always had a cold expression.
"You...you actually recognize me." The smile on Yang Yuan's face couldn't tell whether it was bitterness, joy or excitement.
The person who was not optimistic at the beginning became a big boss with a net worth of tens of billions, and the person who was optimistic at the beginning is now so confused that he can't even find a job. This sense of gap really made him feel a little bitter, but what is gratifying is that this old friend still remembers himself. (To be continued.)
