dark blue vodka

The first time Su Yi saw that person was in an alley next to a bar.

He calmly pulled out the whip he was wearing, and used his nimble skills to deal with several gangsters who came to make trouble. The huge tattoo on his left arm made Su Yi look very uncomfortable.

As a traveler who came to Italy from China, he naturally has no leisure to intervene in such matters.Therefore, Su Yi decided to pass by pretending not to see her at all.

I thought that I would never meet this person again before the end of this half-year trip to Italy, but I didn’t expect that fate would trick people. The second time I saw this person was beside a small river.Su Yi, who was standing on the embankment, once again witnessed this man's powerful skills. This time, it was not a few gangsters, but dozens, or a large group...

Since she was a child, she was indoctrinated with the idea of ​​"don't get close to people who fight in groups", Su Yi curled her lips in disgust, but glanced at the person's location again.

The blond man walked up to a few people who had been lying on the ground a long time ago, bent down to help them up, and staggered forward.

——Do you fight because of your companions?

Su Yi unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, clenched the bag of mineral water in her hand a little bit, and smoothed out her hair that was blown by the wind. Just as she was about to lift her legs and continue walking, she found that there were already several people standing beside her. personal.

"Ciao~~little sister, are you alone?" A man with a scar on his arm stood in front of Su Yi, the strong smell of alcohol coming out of his mouth made Su Yi subconsciously want to cover her nose, but she was idle His hand was grabbed by another man beside him.

"...?"

"Come with us for a drink."

"No." Su Yi shook off the man's hand heavily, and took a few steps back, but bumped into the person standing behind her again.

Although Su Yi really wanted to beat everyone in front of her to the ground, it was obvious that a woman in a skirt had no fighting power...

When Su Yi was thinking hard about whether there was a way to escape without using her hands, the man in front of her suddenly let out a scream, and her whole body was thrown far away by the whip blowing from the side.

"Who is so courageous?" The man who grabbed Su Yi's hand at first looked up the whip.

There was evil spirit in the brown eyes, and the other party glanced at several people, and said word by word: "Is it too much to bully a foreign girl?"

"You...you are... Dancing Martino!" The man choked out a few trembling syllables from his throat in front of him, and before he could make another move, he grabbed his companion who had been thrown aside, and ran away scrambling.

- Jumping Martino...?How could someone have such a strange name.

Su Yi blinked her eyes blankly at the man who put away the whip in front of her. It took a long time before she realized that she had to thank him out of politeness, even though she didn't have any good feelings for him.

"That, thank you."

"It's easy, a girl, it's too pitiful to encounter such danger in a foreign country." The other party scratched his head and raised the corners of his mouth.

A very warm smile, without the smell of a hooligan, and it doesn't match the huge tattoo on his body at all.

Su Yi suddenly became very interested in the person in front of her. She stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Hi, my name is Su Yi, and I'm from China."

"Ah, hello. My name is Dino." The other party seemed to be frightened by Su Yi's enthusiastic behavior, and stretched out his hand a little slowly.

"You saved me, as a thank you, please have something to drink."

"you are very welcome."

"I don't like to owe people favors."

"Uh... that's fine." Dino looked helplessly at the girl in front of him who looked at him with a smile on her face, thinking that maybe this is a unique custom in China, and out of respect for others, she agreed in a daze.

"BOSS?" the man standing behind Dino said softly.

"Romario, you guys go back first, I'll be back in a while." Dino waved to a group of people in formal suits.

"Don't cause trouble for others." The man called Romario pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, with a slightly joking tone in his tone.

"No way. Hahahahaha." Dino seemed to be very familiar, rubbing the back of his head and laughing foolishly.

It wasn't until the group of people in suits left that Su Yi slowly understood what the man named Romario said just now.

Helplessly watching Dino being tripped by her own feet for the fourth time, Su Yi looked helplessly at the sky, her disgust towards this seemingly delinquent boy completely dissipated, she sighed deeply, and lifted the person on the ground up , the corners of his mouth curled up a bit.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I don't think I would have believed that it was you who saved me just now."

"Ahahaha, maybe there are too many stones on the ground."

"O__O"...are you kidding me? "

"Uh, I don't know why I was tripped..."

"Forget it, we've arrived anyway." Su Yi pointed to a bar in front of her. In order to prevent Dino from falling for the fifth time, she insisted that she would never let go of the hand supporting him until he sat down.

"Is it the same this time?" The waiter Yichen, who is also Chinese, greeted Su Yi friendly and asked in Chinese.

Su Yi likes this bar very much, not only because the drinks here are attractive enough, but also because there is a person here who can talk to her about things in her hometown in her native language.

People outside, whether traveling or living, will unconsciously get close to fellow villagers.

"En." Su Yi responded with a big smile.

"Then what about the one next to you?" Yichen looked at Dino who was sitting beside him rubbing his head with a bruise.

"Ah, just dark blue vodka, blueberry flavor." Dino said.

"You like to drink this too?" Su Yi turned her head to look at Dino in surprise.

When she came to this store for the first time, she ordered dark blue vodka with blueberry flavor, and fell in love with the taste immediately after drinking it.In addition, Su Yi herself is a person who is not willing to change her taste, so every time she comes here, it is always the same dark blue vodka...

"Well, I like the dry and pungent taste very much."

"A fellow." Su Yi smiled understandingly. She never imagined that one day she would sit and drink with such a person who looked no different from being a gangster, and she still liked to drink the same kind of wine.

"You came to Italy because..." Before Dino could spit out the following words, Su Yi took his words with interest.

"travel."

"Ahaha, so, I thought you were working, because you seem to be familiar with this place."

"It can also be said to be work. Traveling is a way of working for me."

"Uh, huh?"

Seeing that Dino obviously didn't understand what she was talking about, Su Yi sighed again.

"I'm an illustrator, and I often travel around the world to collect inspiration from places of interest to me."

"Illustrator?! Then you must be good at drawing."

"Mr. Dino, if I'm not good at painting, how can I become an illustrator?" Su Yi looked at Dino who had suddenly realized, and couldn't help complaining.

"That's right, haha."

"It's not so much about getting inspiration, it's better to say that I'm escaping." Su Yi looked down at the wine glass, and suddenly said self-sufficiently.

"My mother always forces me to fall in love early, then get married, and have a stable life. Although I know it's her good intentions, I don't want to change my attitude towards life for anyone, not even my mother."

"It's very unfilial."

"No." Dino looked at Su Yi and said.

"...?" Su Yi looked at Dino with a very serious tone in a daze.

"How you live your life is up to you."

Dino understands Su Yi's feelings.When his "hateful" father regarded him as the tenth generation leader of the Gabrielone family without his consent, he had the idea of ​​wanting to escape.

But in front of him appeared a baby—reborn—a killer who seemed to do things without considering the consequences, but could always make things come to a perfect ending.

Under Reborn's teaching, even if he didn't change his resistance to the Mafia, he still unknowingly formed his own family.At the moment when the family members were in danger, he finally understood that he could no longer run away, he had to accept this fact and take on the task of protecting the family members.

From that moment on, he wasn't the same Dino he used to be.

"..." Su Yi saw that Dino seemed to be lost in thought, and didn't answer any more, just drinking alone.

He was right.

No one can go back to the past and start again, but anyone can start today and write a completely different ending.
