lucky to meet you

Chapter 11 Luca's Food Philosophy: Eat when you are in a bad mood! (3)
She just stared straight at it, and felt that she had only been abroad for ten days, but it seemed like half a year had passed.

Gan Tiantian suddenly felt tired, and she suddenly missed the old days - monotonous and boring, but simple and relaxing.She couldn't help thinking: Is going abroad a correct choice for her, or is it just the price she has to pay after making a rash and reckless decision.

Mao Jiajia's sudden accident caused the proprietress to be short of manpower. On the one hand, she posted job recruitment information on the website of Chinatown, and on the other hand, she asked Gan Tiantian to help her with a few shifts and a two-day church.

Running the hall was a rare experience for Gan Tiantian. After two days of working enthusiastically, she felt that her legs were about to run thin.

She attends classes during the day and works in a restaurant at night.After a few days, she was already familiar with the simple daily life sentence patterns in Italian, and she was able to say a few sentences with her mouth open, although she didn't know how to write these words.

And Mao Jiajia, her roommate who lived with her for only two days, left forever at the end of that week with her unfulfilled dream of studying abroad.

On Wednesday, September 9th, Gan Tiantian came to Italy on the morning of No. 18th, just after dawn, she got up to clean up and wash up. She made an appointment for fingerprinting at 17:8.

Gan Tiantian arrived at the police station at a quarter past eight, and handed over the appointment slip and the payment slip for mailing the residence parcel to the policeman in charge. She waited until ten o'clock before someone called her name.

She got up and walked into the office, and was placed across from the desk of a young male policeman. The male policeman seemed to be only 25 or [-] years old, and his blue eyes were like a pool of lake water.

The policeman looked up at her, and winked at her with a smile inexplicably.

Gan Tiantian: "..."

In fact, after a week of waiting, she is almost used to the winking of Italian men. Just like what Mao Jiajia said before, Italian men flirt with women regardless of their age. ".

After the policeman greeted her in Italian, he opened the residence parcel she had sent from the mail, took out the application form inside, and began to check the information with her one by one.

After the review was correct, the fingerprint scanner on the table was used to extract the fingerprints of her ten fingers.

The police told Gan Tiantian that she would be notified to receive a one-year residence card in 20 days.At that time, she will really be regarded as a foreigner who has the qualifications to stay in Italy legally, and she can enjoy the right to freely enter and exit the 26 Schengen countries of the European Union at the same time.

After leaving the police station, Gan Tiantian made another trip to the language school. Today is just the time to check the class information.

In the small hall of the school, she slipped in and out of the crowd of students who came to check the class placement, and found it in the order of the first capital letter of the surname among the twelve class placement forms that covered the entire wall. Her name, she is in the second class of the zero-based class. The class time starts from the last week of September, every Tuesday and Friday from [-] am to [-] am.

Gan Tiantian leaned her head up on the wall, seeing dense names of people in front of her eyes, but she was thinking in her heart: Luca promised to teach her Italian, was it just a casual joke, or...they haven't been in touch since the Mao Jiajia incident was over.

Gan Tiantian is not a person who likes to rely on others for everything. She only struggled for three to five minutes before pulling herself together and squeezing out from the crowd. Today is her class in the afternoon.

She went all the way back to the house and cooked all the dumplings left in the refrigerator. After eating, she went to school with the smell of celery all over her body.

After a whole afternoon of lectures by chickens and ducks, after class, Giotto explained to her in English what the professor just said while walking. Passed by.

Giotto's eyes straightened immediately, and his body turned around, staring at the girl's back unscrupulously.

Gan Tiantian squinted at him in embarrassment.

"Hurry up," Giotto asked uncertainly while appreciating the beauty, touching Gan Tiantian's shoulder with his elbow, "Are you looking for a house?"

Gan Tiantian replied absently: "What's wrong?"

Giotto's eyeballs were still glued to the beauty's buttocks, and he stammered: "It seems that the beauty... um...she is posting an advertisement on the bulletin board, I don't know if it is... information about renting out houses..."

Gan Tiantian turned her head decisively and walked back when she heard the words. When she took two steps forward and got closer, the beautiful woman also turned her head.

"Ciao (Hello)!" After being startled, the beauty nodded and greeted her.

"Ciao!" After Gan Tiantian imitated her pronunciation, she pointed to her advertising paper in English and said in surprise, "Are you the landlord? Are you renting out the house?"

"Yes." The beauty blinked her blue eyes, smiled, and asked her in English, "Do you want to rent a house?"

Gan Tiandian nodded, glanced excitedly at the advertising paper, and saw that it said "single room, 240 Euros, near the school", and asked her with joy and anxiety, "I am a student of medical school, but I don't Can speak Italian, would you like to rent the house to me?"

"Of course, I don't speak Italian very well." The beauty smiled and expressed her understanding, "I'm Spanish."

Gan Tiantian smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.The beauty pointed to the window, motioned Gan Tiantian to look out from the direction she pointed, and said, "My house is there, do you want to go and see it now?"

God... it's so... close!Gan Tiantian stared straight at the four-story building just across the road from the medical school, and felt deeply that she had to give Giotto a thumbs up for his habit of looking at beauties!
The beauty's name is Emily, which is a homonym for "Ai Meili" in Chinese. Gan Tiantian explained it to her, and the beauty laughed heartily, saying that the name suits her well, and she really loves beauty.

Giotto followed them desperately and refused to leave. In the name of a sweet friend, he stubbornly insisted on following them to see the house, admiring the beauties justifiably.

Giotto crawled to Emily's side, constantly saying "I'm Spanish too" to get closer, spit out a sentence in Spanish from time to time, trying to win the beauty's favor.

Unexpectedly, when the three of them arrived downstairs, the beauty said lightly: "Oh yes, my boyfriend occasionally comes to stay overnight, every day, don't you mind?"

Gan Tiantian realized that the words were not meant for her, and she comforted Giotto sympathetically with her corner of the eye.Sure enough, Giotto's boyish heart was broken all over the ground. He sniffled sadly, stomped his feet decisively, and bid farewell to Gan Tiantian: "Hurry up, I'm leaving, my roommate told me to go home for dinner."

Gan Tiantian suppressed her smile, waved him to get out of here, and followed Emily upstairs.

The sentence pattern "I × told me to go home for dinner" was taught to him by Gan Tiantian.She said: In China, when we encounter things or topics that we really want to escape and don’t want to continue, we can use this. X can be replaced by any person’s name.

At that time, Giotto still had a half-understanding look, but today he uses it smoothly.

Emily didn't know the inside story, she just felt that the man's speech was weird, and after glancing at him, she closed the door of the building.

Emily is a PhD candidate in the Department of Materials Science and Technology in Modena. She is also a freshman who came to Italy this month. She rented a three-bedroom house, lived in one for herself, and rented out one to an Italian classmate. The next one is up for rent.

Emily opened the door and invited Gan Tiantian into the house. Her Italian classmate went on a date with her boyfriend, and there was no one at home except a pair of weird cats and dogs who could live in harmony.

The dog is a purebred Labrador and the cat is a purebred Siamese.The two of them squatted at the door in the same posture, facing the corridor, quietly raising their faces and staring at Gan Tiantian with big eyes.

"The dog's name is Mango, which feels a bit silly, and the name means mango in Italian." Emily raised her leg and stepped over Mango, explaining, "The dog's owner is another roommate, her name is Julia. "

"The cat is mine, and its name is Kiwi, which means kiwi." Kiwi followed Emily in a small step, the bell on her neck rang, and Emily turned her head and gave it a sideways glance and said, " You'll see later that it's um--not at all cat-like."

It really doesn't look like a cat...Gan Tiantian stared at the bald spots on Labrador's ears, and imagined a cat-dog battle in which the cat won in the end.

Even though there is a cat and a dog in the house, the three-bedroom house has no bad smell at all. It seems that Emily and Julia are very hygienic girls.

Emily opened the door of the rented room, let Gan Tiantian in to look at the furniture and decoration, and took her around the whole house, without urging her to make a decision, just asking her if she would mind if there were animals in the house .

Gan Tiantian really likes these two little animals, and also likes Emily's straightforwardness.

The house is very big and bright. It can be seen that before renting out, the landlord has completely renovated the house, even the furniture is new.The kitchen is clean and tidy, the kitchen utensils and stoves are shining with a metallic luster, the toilet has no peculiar smell, and the cat litter is obviously being changed frequently.

The bedroom faces the sun and is neatly furnished.

Gan Tiantian thought that she had no reason not to rent this house, and she said bluntly: "I also like small animals, and I like this house very much, and I think I will get along well with you. I plan to rent it, what do you mean? ?”

Emily smiled and said, "Me too, but you have to understand that I still have a roommate who hasn't come back. When she comes back, I need to discuss it with her before I give you an answer."

Emily turned her head and thought for a while, then added: "I'll give you an answer tonight."

Gan Tian said yes, and got up to bid her farewell.Emily sent Gan Tiantian to the door and said, "I hope we can see each other again."

Gan Tiantian smiled and shook hands with her: "Me too."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Gan Tiantian received a call from Emily while she was reading a book.Emily apparently had her roommate's permission.

Emily made an appointment with Gan Tiantian to have a detailed talk downstairs at their house the next day, and Gan Tiantian replied hello.

In the afternoon of the next day, Gan Tiantian saw another roommate, Julia, downstairs from Emily. She was a lovely girl with the same hair color as Luca, with a plump figure and a kind face.

Emily invited her upstairs, and they explained to her in English in the living room the relevant content of the Italian rental contract, and were willing to let her move in early. The official rental contract will start next month, after she gets the official residence permit , and then go to the police station to sign.

Gan Tiantian thanked them gratefully. At this moment, she finally felt that everything was slowly getting better.

Taking advantage of the weekend, Gan Tiantian happened to be moving. Her things were only two bags and a quilt. She bid farewell to the staff and the proprietress in the same room, and officially moved to a new house.

Emily, who was going to help her, was surprised to find that she had no suitcase, and only two sets of clothes. The beauty-loving girl couldn't bear to drag her to go shopping.

Emily took Gan Tiantian to sweep around the commercial street of the Grand Plaza. Emily complained that Julia, who fell in love, was tired of being with her boyfriend all the time and never went shopping with her. Fortunately, there is now Gan Tiantian accompanied her.

Gan Tiantian has been in Modena for nearly a month, and this is the first time that she has walked the commercial district in such detail.Emily only came over a week earlier than her, but she has already been familiar with the city streets to such an extent that Gan Tiantian can only admire her.

Emily led her through the small streets and alleys, and walked into a small square. There were two buses parked in the square, and behind the bus was an old building.

The architectural shape is not as magnificent as the cathedral, but it is more solemn than the cathedral. The simple, pure-color bluestone brick exterior wall is actually slightly cold under the noon sun.

There is no church sign on the top of the building, there is no sign of the city government, and there is no large advertisement at the door. Gan Tiantian is very curious.

"This is..." Emily was about to go around the building wall and go to the opposite street, when Gan Tiantian suddenly called her. Gan Tiantian stood in the corner, pointed at the building and asked her, "Is this a scenic spot?"

Emily turned her head, glanced at her line of sight in surprise, shook her head and was about to explain to her, but suddenly, as if she had been injected with chicken blood, her eyes lit up, and she blinked excitedly and said, "Oh, my God! It's handsome guys!"

Gan Tiantian was inexplicable, her chin was twisted towards the small square by Emily's hand.

On the square in front of the building, another car was parked next to the two buses. The door of that bus had already been opened, and a group of teenagers in military uniforms were queuing up to get off.

The teenagers are only around 180 years old, and all of them are over [-] tall. They are handsome, tall and straight, with long legs and knee-high military boots. They really deserve the word "handsome".

There are beauties who don't look wasted.Gan Tiantian was enjoying admiring the handsome guy with Emily calmly, but unexpectedly the last person to get off was—Luka? !

Gan Tiantian widened her eyes in surprise.

She recognized him the moment his head came out of the car door, because among the crowd, he was the only one not wearing a military uniform, and his casual suit was incompatible with the young man in front of him.

He walked at the end of the line, taller than the others, and walked steadily.

The door of the building was opened from the inside, and a group of people quickly disappeared from Gan Tiantian's sight, except for Luca at the end of the group.Luca watched the teenagers go in. After the big iron gate was locked from the inside, he turned and left from the other side of the building, his back facing the sweet direction.

His back is straight, his steps are steady, and the sun is jumping on the top of his head, shining golden spots.

"The last guy is so weird, he's not wearing a uniform, but he's also very handsome." Emily guessed suspiciously, "Is he an instructor or a bus driver?"

Gan Tiantian didn't answer her, with mixed feelings in her heart, she hadn't contacted Luca for a week.

"Oh, Tiantian! What did you ask me just now? You asked, where is this?" Emily calmed down from her excitement, shook the shopping bag in her hand to call back Gan Tiantian's attention, and explained to her, " This is a university, a very famous university—Military Academy of Modena!"

"Military academy?" Gan Tiantian looked up in surprise.

"Yes!" Emily said with a smile, "and this military academy is very unusual. It is almost strict in the selection of students, from height to appearance, and even background. It is said that the students in this military academy , all come from wealthy and powerful families in Europe, and even most of them are descendants of ancient Italian nobles."

so awesome? !The force is instantly elevated, isn't it!While Gan Tiantian couldn't help sighing, there was a question that couldn't help lingering in her mind-Luka, isn't it a policeman or a soldier?

Forget it, no matter what he does, he doesn't want her to know.Gan Tiantian lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, suppressing the tumbling emotions in her heart, and followed Emily to the cutlery shop behind the military academy to pick out teacups.

Italian porcelain is also very famous, with elegant patterns, creative shapes, fine and smooth porcelain, bright and beautiful glaze, which is pleasing to the eye only from a distance.

After Gan Tiantian accompanied Emily around the porcelain shop twice, she leaned against the door frame and waited for her without interest. Her eyes fell on a pair of white porcelain coffee cups in front of her.The shape of that set of coffee cups is simple and elegant, like a curved willow leaf extending from the mouth of the cup to form a handle, with smooth lines.

She paid attention to the set of cups for a long time, so long that Emily picked out the tableware she liked and paid the bill. She stood beside her and asked her, "Do you like that set of coffee cups?"

Gan Tiantian returned to her senses, looked away, but smiled and shook her head in denial, she simply felt that the cup handle, which looked like an upside-down willow leaf, was a bit like someone's bangs.

The moment Gan Tiantian pushed the door and went out, the name couldn't help crossing her mind:

Luca Di Maggio…
