Alive

Romance is walking slowly on the banks of the Seine.It would be best if there is such a man who walks beside you where you can see him from the side. You don't need a bird to snuggle up to him, and you don't need your fingers to be tightly intertwined.Just so quietly, walking slowly, like an elderly couple who have experienced all the ups and downs together, watching the Seine River that has hardly changed for thousands of years and is filled with romantic atmosphere.

Quan Zhixian turned his face slightly, looking at the man who was only a step away from him, a small sense of satisfaction suddenly rose in his heart.Probably, a woman who has clarified a little love in her heart will feel such a sweet feeling that cannot be expressed when she sees the person she admires walking beside her like this.

The work of DiorHomme's concept photos was completed much faster than expected. It is rare to come to France once, so naturally I have to take advantage of my free time to walk around.Quan Zhilong chose the fashion district of Paris without hesitation. The first place to go was the Champs-Elysées Avenue, which is full of famous products. He also accompanied the team of makeup artists and costume artists.As for the others, they chose some famous scenic spots in Paris to visit in groups of twos and threes, such as the Louvre, Fontainebleau, Sacred Heart Cathedral and so on.In the end, only Choi Seung Hyun and Kwon Ji Hyun, who had not spoken, were left silently in the coffee shop downstairs of the hotel.

"Brother Shengxian, let's go out for a walk too." Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Quan Zhixian tried his best to calmly propose an invitation: "It's rare to come to Paris, so naturally we should go shopping."

Cui Shengxian looked at the girl whose cheeks were slightly red as if she had gently swept some rouge, and felt a little happy and a little complicated.The feelings after the separation did not gradually fade, but became more intense with the brief meeting.Seoul and Paris are half a world away, how will they overcome it?With a small sigh in my heart, it is better not to think about this question for the time being.

"Okay. Is there any good place that Zhixian can recommend?" It is rare to be alone, so naturally we should seize the opportunity.Although Cui Shengxian is called a "little baby", his emotional intelligence is not as low as that of a child. He still understands this truth.

Zhixian tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally said to Cui Shengxian: "Brother Shengxian, are you interested in taking a walk?"

"Walking?" Cui Shengxian was taken aback by Jixian's proposal, shouldn't he go somewhere romantic?Cui Shengxian found that he was really not good at understanding girls' hearts.

"Real Parisians, or French people, never go to places like the Eiffel Tower." Zhixian waved his hands with an inscrutable expression, "Brother Shengxian, don't be so ignorant of the market" expression.

Looking at Zhixian's funny expression, Choi Seung-hyun suddenly felt that romance and everything are just floating clouds, and it would be nice to see her always showing such a happy expression.

The two walked along the east-west Boulevard Saint-Germain. Compared with taking the sightseeing bus that can be seen almost everywhere in Paris, Zhixian prefers to measure the slowness of a city with his feet.Saint-Germain-des-Prés is probably the oldest church in Paris.The coffin of the famous French philosopher, mathematician and physicist Descartes is buried here.This is the coordinates for sightseeing on Avenue Saint-Germain.

Looking at the vines on the outer wall of the church, Cui Shengxian suddenly thought of the small church in Seoul again.Cui Shengxian just looked at Zhixian steadfastly, standing beside her, looking at the solemn church across the road.I think, if possible, I will also give you a perfect wedding.Looking through the iron gate of the church, Cui Shengxian, who saw the happy bride throwing bouquets on the lawn, thought secretly.

"Brother Shengxian, do you want to..." Quan Zhixian was startled when he turned his head and saw Cui Shengxian staring at him motionless.

"Do you want something?" Cui Shengxian also seemed to find that such behavior seemed inappropriate, so he smiled foolishly.

"I want to ask you, do you want to go to the main store of Louis Vuitton? It's just on this street..." The voice behind the words became weaker and weaker, and Quan Zhixian, who was blushing, would never admit that she was I blushed because of Seunghyun hyung's deep eyes (big mistake!)

"I always feel that this is the place Zhilong would go to..." Cui Shengxian muttered softly.At this time, Choi Seung-hyun was still a hip-hop boy who often wore baggy basketball shirts, but now he is just a handsome boy in slacks and a coat.

In fact, sometimes Quan Zhixian will feel that he cannot understand Cui Shengxian's heart, such as now.In other words, a branded clothing store is nothing more than a place where who will go?Don't you need to wear clothes, brother Seunghyun?

Quan Zhixian didn't struggle for too long, because she saw the second-hand book market that stretched for several kilometers on the Boulevard Saint-Michel not far away.Excitedly grabbing Cui Shengxian's hand and running over, Zhixian took his hand all the way to browse the second-hand bookstall.Cui Shengxian looked at the white hand that grabbed him, and smiled secretly.When winter has not left, it is still warmer to hold hands.

From time to time, Quan Zhixian, who has new discoveries, does not know when he let go of Cui Shengxian's hand, and excitedly gestures with the owners of the bookstall to ask for a cheaper price.Soon, Cui Shengxian held a stack of various old books in his hands.Cui Shengxian, who was once dragged out by his elder sister to go shopping, actually really hated going shopping with girls. He couldn't understand why a small girl would have so much energy when shopping.But at this time, Cui Shengxian didn't feel tired after following Zhixian and holding the "trophy" for her, and even had a feeling that he hoped that this road would not end, and that it would be good to just go on like this, walking with her all the time.

Zhixian, who was very happy to have bought a lot of rare books that were no longer available in the market, looked back and saw the books that seemed to be quite heavy in Cui Shengxian's hands. He stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and ran over to try to take them from him. Part of it lightens his burden.

"A gentleman won't let a lady carry a lot of books on the street." Cui Shengxian very righteously rejected Quan Zhixian's request to lighten his burden.

"Well... well, let's have a coffee break?" When you come to the Latin Quarter, you must go to Cafe de Flore (Cafe de Flore).

The air is filled with the faint mixed aroma of nicotine and coffee, and the Parisians sitting by the large floor-to-ceiling windows just watch the pedestrians come and go.With a sip of coffee, or the smoke of a cigar, it seems to swallow you in one gulp.

There was almost no gap in the flower god's seat, and Zhixian ordered the same signature almond coffee for the two.After choosing a seat by the window, the two sat quietly, taking a sip of the fragrant coffee.

Zhixian looked at the passers-by outside the window, her mind was a little lost, and she wondered if the seat she and Seunghyun were sitting at was the place where the philosophical couple Sartre and Beauvoir were brewing love and existentialism at the same time?Or, will the young man next to him who is immersed in writing become a famous artist who will become famous in a hundred years?

Here, Chopin began to compose music, Picasso began to paint, Joyce began to write "Ulysses"... This is a city full of romance in exile.Quan Zhixian thought wildly, a little drunk.

The coffee has bottomed out, and there is no more steam rising.Cui Shengxian looked at Zhixian whose thoughts drifted far away, and gently held her hand.

The romance in exile will also be lingered by the aroma of Flora Cafe, and finally reside here.
