After that, the two continued to communicate happily while visiting the museum. From classic old movies to current trends, from directors' techniques to actors' performances, the topics came one after another, as if they would never finish talking.

The afternoon sun shines through the tall windows of the museum, sprinkled on the ground where various exhibits are displayed, forming patches of warm light. In an exhibition area showing filmmaking technology, Luo Lie seemed to instantly transform into a professional tour guide.

He pointed to a huge mechanical model and said to Zhang Yiyi passionately: "Yiyi, look at this, this is the device used to create flying scenes in movie special effects in the early days. Imagine that the actors are fixed on it. Through the mechanical operation behind it and the clever shooting angle, you can create the effect of flying in the air."

Zhang Yiyi listened attentively, her eyes wide open, full of curiosity, her cherry-like mouth slightly open, and she looked like she couldn't wait to learn more. She couldn't help but say: "Wow, I didn't expect there was such a magical device!"

Luo Lie walked to a booth showing light and shadow effects, picked up a small lamp, and said: "There is also this, don't look at it as small, in the movie, by adjusting its brightness and color, you can change the atmosphere and sense of time of the whole scene. For example, if you want to show dusk, use warm yellow light; if it is a horror scene, it may be that kind of gloomy blue tone."

At this time, the air around them was filled with a faint smell of old wood and film, as if bringing them into the past movie years. Zhang Yiyi laughed out loud at his vivid explanation and interesting demonstration. She covered her stomach with both hands, her eyes narrowed into slits, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, and two cute dimples appeared on her cheeks. She said happily: "Luo Lie, you know so much! This is much more interesting than what I learned in class!"

Luo Lie smiled and said: "This is the little knowledge I have accumulated from my love for movies. It's great to make you happy."

Unconsciously, time passed quickly. When they walked to the top floor of the museum, they could look out from the huge windows and overlook the beautiful city scenery of Turin. Zhang Yiyi couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful here, just like the scene in the movie." Luo Lie also nodded in agreement.

The afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on them, and the atmosphere became a little subtle. Luo Lie took the opportunity to invite Zhang Yiyi to dinner. Zhang Yiyi was a little conflicted. On the one hand, she was reserved as a girl and was wary of strangers in a foreign country. On the other hand, she was impressed by Luo Lie's understanding of movies, the agreement between their views, and the wonderful fate of meeting compatriots in a foreign country. "But, I came with my classmates..." Luo Lie smiled slightly, his eyes full of sincerity: "Then you can invite your classmates to come together, it will be more lively with more people." Zhang Yiyi hesitated, bit her lip lightly, and looked at the classmates who were visiting in the distance, thinking secretly in her heart. Luo Lie seemed to see her concerns and continued, "Don't worry, we're just having a meal together and communicating. I promise I won't make you feel uncomfortable."

Zhang Yiyi's heart began to waver. She recalled the pleasant conversation she had just had with Luo Lie, the in-depth discussions and resonance about the movie, and finally nodded: "Okay, but I have to ask my classmates for their opinions first."

Luo Lie smiled happily: "Great, I believe this will be a wonderful night."

Zhang Yiyi walked towards her classmates and explained the situation to them. After some discussion, they decided to accept Luo Lie's invitation together.

When Zhang Yiyi brought the three Chinese girls back to Luo Lie, Luo Lie greeted them warmly and learned the general information of the three girls from their self-introductions: the tallest girl was Liu Xiaoyan, with a waterfall of black straight hair hanging down to her waist, wearing a simple white dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, showing her fresh and refined temperament; standing next to Liu Xiaoyan was the lively and playful Zhou Yue, who was petite, with a pair of deep dimples on her round face, and smiled very cutely, with short curly hair and a set of colorful sportswear, which made her look full of vitality; the last girl who seemed very quiet was Ji Sihan, with a moderate figure and an upright posture. She wore a light blue shirt and a pair of black jeans, which was simple but tasteful, exuding a unique literary and artistic atmosphere.

Luo Lie found a local restaurant called "Tre da Tre" near the Film Museum. The restaurant is located on a main street near the Turin Tower, and the location is quite good. The old building exudes the charm of time. Like most Italian restaurants, Tre da Tre is also very attentive in its decoration.The white color is fresh and natural. When they walked into the restaurant, soft and warm lights sprinkled on the wooden tables and chairs, and Italian-style paintings were hung on the walls.

Liu Xiaoyan jumped happily as soon as she entered the door, her eyes sparkling, her mouth kept saying words of praise, and excitedly pulled Zhang Yiyi's hand to look around. Zhang Yiyi walked into the restaurant with elegant manners and light steps, smiled and bowed slightly to express her gratitude to Luo Lie, then sat down dignifiedly, with her hands gently placed on her knees. Zhou Yue looked around curiously, her head turned around like a rattle, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch the decorations on the wall. Ji Sihan seemed a little nervous, lowered her eyes, followed carefully behind, sat quietly aside, and occasionally raised her head to take a quick look at others.

Luo Lie gentlemanly pulled out chairs for several girls one by one and guided them to sit down, with gentle and considerate movements. After the menu was presented, he patiently asked everyone about their tastes and preferences, leaning forward slightly with a focused and gentle look.

"Girls, it's a pleasure to have dinner with you today." Luo Lie said.

The lively and cheerful Zhang Yiyi responded with a smile: "Brother Luo Lie, please introduce to us how to pair Turin delicacies."

Luo Lie smiled and nodded: "Then let's start with the appetizers. The toasted bread slices here are served with white truffles. The aroma of the truffles is simply intoxicating. The truffles are cut into thin slices and evenly spread on the golden and crispy toasted bread slices. With a light bite, the richness of the truffles and the crispness of the bread are perfectly blended."

The elegant and generous Liu Xiaoyan squinted slightly, as if she was already imagining the wonderful taste: "It sounds tempting."

The quirky Zhou Yue couldn't wait to say: "What else?"

Luo Lie continued: "For the main course, you must try this beef tongue with vegetables. The beef tongue is stewed soft and melts in the mouth. It is paired with fresh vegetables and has a rich and refreshing taste."

Zhou Yue blinked: "Wow, it looks delicious!"

The quiet and shy Ji Sihan said softly: "Well, it sounds good."

Luo Lie continued to recommend: "Also With this Italian risotto, the rice is full and absorbs the essence of the broth and cheese, and every bite is rich and fragrant. "

Zhang Yiyi said excitedly: "I can't wait to try it!"

Luo Lie pointed to the menu again: "For dessert, you can't miss the sabayon here. It is a dessert made with eggs, sugar and wine. It has a delicate taste and is sweet but not greasy."

Liu Xiaoyan smiled and said: "It seems that I can have a feast today."

"Okay, then order these first, and add more if it's not enough." After saying that, Luo Lie called the waiter, and his fingers moved gently on the menu handed over by the waiter, whispering the names of the dishes: toasted bread slices with white truffles, beef tongue with vegetables, Italian risotto, sabayon; then, his eyes stayed on the picture of the grilled steak, and after thinking for a moment, he decided: "Give each of us a medium-rare grilled steak with black pepper sauce. The heat of the steak must be mastered." The waiter smiled and wrote down his order, turned and walked towards the kitchen.

About fifteen minutes later, the waiter began to serve the dishes. The girls looked at the dishes with anticipation: the tempting aroma of toasted bread with white truffles first entered their noses. The golden and crispy bread slices were dotted with precious white truffles, exuding a unique and charming fragrance.

"Wow, this toasted bread slice and white truffle are a perfect match. The crispness of the bread and the freshness of the white truffle are just right. It's wonderful!" Liu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Then, the beef tongue with vegetables also appeared. The beef tongue was cooked tender and juicy, and paired with colorful vegetables, which greatly increased people's appetite. "This beef tongue tastes so good, and the vegetables are also fresh. The two are matched just right." Zhang Yiyi commented with a smile.

Then, the plate of Italian risotto was also served. The plump rice grains absorbed the rich soup, and every bite was full of the rich taste of cheese and spices. "This risotto is so rich, every grain of rice is full of rich flavor, and the taste is also great, it's simply a delicacy on earth!" Wu Yue said excitedly while tasting it.

And the exquisite sabayon, with its delicate taste and sweet aroma, makes people salivate just by looking at it.

"The sabayon is so amazing, it melts in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, I feel like I'm going to indulge in this sweetness." Ji Sihan commented with a happy face.

The restaurant was full of laughter. "Wow, this looks like a work of art!" Wu Yue shouted excitedly, and couldn't bear to take her eyes off the food. "That's right, I'm intoxicated just by smelling it." Liu Xiaoyan responded with a smile. They couldn't wait to pick up the tableware and enjoy it.This is a feast for the taste buds.

Then the grilled steak was served. The steak was grilled to the perfect medium rare, slightly crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Paired with the special black pepper sauce and fresh vegetables, the taste is rich and memorable.

The restaurant plays melodious Italian music, making people feel like they are in a romantic Italian town.

The meal lasted more than two hours, and Luo Lie and the four girls became more familiar with each other, and they all added their contact information.

Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, with stars dotted, and the soft moonlight sprinkled in the corner of the restaurant through the window. In the restaurant, the warm yellow lights created a warm atmosphere, and the flowers on the table exuded a faint fragrance.

At the dinner table, everyone went from being reserved at first to speaking freely later, sharing each other's life stories, hobbies and dreams. Luo Lie's humorous words often make the girls giggle; and in Zhang Yiyi, Liu Xiaoyan, Wu Yue, and Ji Sihan, four girls with different personalities, Luo Lie also feels the vitality of youth.

After adding the contact information, Wu Yue also playfully said: "Keep in touch in the future!" Others nodded in agreement. Luo Lie smiled and responded: "Of course!" At this moment, the restaurant was filled with not only the aroma of food, but also the warmth brought by new friendships, as if time was frozen in this beautiful moment.

After dinner, time passed quietly without knowing it, and the night deepened. Wu Yue, who was eager to go to the bar, was excited, with a gleam of anticipation in her eyes. She couldn't wait to start the carnival of nightlife. However, her idea was firmly suppressed by the other three girls.

"No, Xiaoyue, we have to go back to school, we have classes tomorrow!" Liu Xiaoyan said seriously.

Zhou Yue pouted helplessly, trying to refute but not knowing where to start.

Of course, Luo Lie did not invite them. After all, it was the first day for them to meet, and they were all students. He knew in his heart that it was inappropriate to invite them to the bar at this time.

Luo Lie just smiled and asked the hotel housekeeper Alice to arrange a spacious and comfortable business car, and carefully told the driver to send the four girls back to the Turin Conservatory of Music safely.

Before getting in the car, Zhang Yiyi turned around, her bright eyes stared at Luo Lie, her face was filled with a sincere smile, and she expressed her gratitude to Luo Lie.

"Luo Lie, thank you so much today. This dinner was a pleasant one." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like a spring breeze blowing gently.

Luo Lie smiled and responded: "You're welcome. I'm also very happy to spend this time with you."

Zhang Yiyi nodded and said again: "I hope we will have a chance to get together in the future." Then she stepped into the car lightly.

Liu Xiaoyan, Zhou Yue and Ji Sihan, three girls with different styles, also waved goodbye to Luo Lie in their own unique ways. The quirky Zhou Yue jumped in front of Luo Lie, blinked her big eyes, waved her hands with a smile, and muttered: "Brother Luo Lie, goodbye! I will miss you." The crisp voice sounded particularly beautiful in the quiet night.

The car started slowly, and the taillights drew warm light in the darkness, gradually disappearing at the end of the road. Luo Lie stood quietly in place, watching the car go away until the light of the taillights disappeared completely. Afterwards, Luo Lie did not stop and turned to get into another car. He sat in a comfortable seat, leaned back slightly, and closed his eyes. The car started smoothly and drove towards the hotel.

In the next two days, the four girls were busy with their studies, and Luo Lie also had to attend a business event arranged by Manchester United Club, so they did not make plans to go to other places in Turin. But in their spare time, Luo Lie and Zhang Yiyi, Zhou Yue and other girls talked about more and more topics on WeChat, such as movies, food, and sharing what happened to them recently.
