I smiled and didn't answer. Instead, I took out my phone and dialed Mark's number.
"Mr. Liu, are you looking for me?" Mark's hearty voice came from the phone.
"Yes, have you rested yet?" I asked.
"Not yet, I am waiting to serve you at any time," Mark said with a smile.
"That's great, I need your help. You are a boat driver, so you should have a lot of connections on the water, right?" I asked.
"Of course, especially this afternoon. With Owens' support, the news has spread. Many colleagues know that I will be the next president of the Taxi Union! Now, everyone respects me very much! "Mark said happily.
"That's right. Can you borrow one of those Gondos?" I stated my purpose.
"Is that so? Of course, there's no problem. It's a very simple matter. Many of my friends sail this kind of ship. Where are you, Mr. Liu? I'll go find you immediately after I borrow it!" Mark nodded in agreement.
"I am under the Bridge of Sighs. You can stop nearby and then contact me on the phone!" I said.
"No problem!" Mark said straightforwardly.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Mei looked at me doubtfully and said, "Who were you calling just now? Do you mean that we can really fulfill this wish?"
I nodded with a smile, "Yes, of course! I am calling the driver I hired. He will be here soon! "
The Caucasian girl looked at me and Yang Mei with envy, "Not bad, you actually have a private driver! You will definitely be happy! "
"How about we take a boat together?" Yang Mei suddenly proposed.
"That's not good …" Although the Caucasian girl refused, her face was full of expectation. Since I didn't express my opinion, she didn't agree.
Although I didn't understand why Yang Mei was so enthusiastic, looking at Yang Mei's expectation, I nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, there is no problem. It seems that my girlfriend and you hit it off very well. It won't be bad to have a companion together!"
"Thank you!" The Caucasian young man also thanked me in a friendly manner.
While waiting for Mark, we learned that the Caucasian man and woman weren't from Venice. The boy was called Philip and the girl was called Sallica. They came from Milan. Moreover, their purpose of coming here surprised me and Yang Mei!
They were not here for a holiday, but to elope! In an open society like Europe and America, where love was free, there was actually elopement! This made me and Yang Mei very surprised!
"Why? Is it strange?" Sallica smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Actually, he came out with me because of me …"
"Alright, Sallica, let's not talk about it anymore. It's all in the past now." Philip comforted her. "We're all out now, so why are you still talking about those unpleasant things?"
"I understand. I know you love me very much, but I'm just telling our new friend about our experience." Sallica said, "In fact, Philip was born in a noble family. He was the best of his generation, and his family wanted to train him as their successor …"
"Let me tell you." Philip interrupted Sallica and said with a smile, "The story is very cliché. I met Sallica and fell in love with her, but she was born poor. My family would never agree to this marriage. My family would let me marry other powerful families for benefits, but I didn't want to do this because I love Sallica. I couldn't lose her, so I chose to escape!"
"Ah!" Yang Mei had deep feelings about this. She was also forced by her mother to marry someone she didn't like, so she sympathized with the experience of these two people, so she said, "Then we will go together to the Bridge of Sighs. You can be together forever!"
"I hope so!" Philip shook his head with a wry smile. He also knew that he was escaping, but sooner or later, he would be caught by his family. So he looked very helpless.
Maybe Sallica also understood this, so there was a trace of bitterness in her eyes, but then it was replaced with a happy expression. "Okay, I think it will be possible!"
At this time, my phone rang. It turned out that Mark had arrived. I followed the direction Mark had pointed to and took Yang Mei and the others to rush over.
I deliberately looked at Philip's clothes. It was very dirty and old. It seemed that he hadn't changed for a long time. I guessed that this guy's bank account had been sealed by his family, so his days weren't very good. To be able to persist until now without any regret, he was really a man!
Although the boat wasn't big, it was more than enough for the four of us plus Mark.
Since we were very familiar with each other, the atmosphere wasn't so awkward. Instead, it was very harmonious. When the boat passed under the Bridge of Sighs, Yang Mei couldn't help but close her eyes, as if she was waiting for the arrival of this sacred moment.
Beside me, Philip and Sallica had already entered the state. I had to admit that Europeans were very open. I looked at the nervous and expectant Yang Mei and couldn't help but smile. I gently leaned towards her full lips …
Suddenly, the bell of St. Mark's Church rang in my ears! It turned out that it was already 9 o 'clock in the evening!
At the same time the bell rang, Yang Mei also opened her eyes, "Bell, I actually heard the bell! The Heavens are also helping us! "
Yang Mei's voice was somewhat excited. However, I knew that this was what Yang Mei was really looking forward to. It was like a person who had sunk into the water and grabbed a life-saving straw!
Although I was confident that I could cure Yang Mei's illness, I still wanted to make Yang Mei feel more relieved psychologically, so I said, "Yes, it seems that this legend is true!"
At this time, the bell had already rung six or seven times. Seeing that it was about to end, Yang Mei realized that she was about to miss it. Looking at Philip and Sallica who were kissing each other, Yang Mei immediately became anxious. She didn't care about her image as a lady anymore. Fearing that she would miss the bell, she actually took the initiative to kiss me!
I was actually kissed by someone! After being stunned for a moment, I also began to respond to Yang Mei enthusiastically. If a girl could be so bold, what was there to be afraid of? Although Yang Mei was so bold because she was afraid that the bell would end.
This was the first time that Yang Mei and I had such intimate contact. However, it was as if there was a tacit understanding between us. Not only were our movements not strange, it was as if it was natural …
The sound of the bell ended, but Yang Mei and I were still hugging each other. It wasn't until I discovered that something was wrong that I quickly looked to the side and found that Philip and Sallica were looking at us with a smile on their faces. I quickly patted Yang Mei and whispered, "There is someone here, we will go back to the hotel tonight and continue …"
