Chapter 160
Zhang Xun accepted the kiss, but felt that the kiss was bitter. Even after it was over, the bitter taste continued to spread, spreading to the depths of the throat, spreading to the internal organs.
Adam stared at his face, stroked his cheek gently with his hands, and expressed worry and concern, "Axun, did you not sleep well yesterday? Your complexion is getting worse and worse, and you will get sick if you continue like this." .”
Zhang Xun looked down at the words in his arms, and said softly, "I really need to take a good rest."
"Don't work today, let's go out and relax." Adam whispered in his ear, "I have asked for leave for you and Fernandez. I will be with you all day today."
Zhang Xun looked at him in a daze, then bent his eyes, "Okay."
Adam seemed to have been planning this day for a long time. As soon as he walked out of the Lab, he conjured up two tickets to the classical opera in the Fourth District at the King's Theatre, which was a very old but classic play "Carmen". Zhang Xun has always liked to watch classical operas or musicals, but the art of Paradise Lost has not developed much in the first place. The fees of the few theater troupes are so high that only the privileged class can afford it. Before the Shenshen project, Zhang Xun just I am a poor mechanic, so I have never had a chance to see it on site.
Zhang Xun just casually said something to Adam, and he didn't even remember it himself. Adam took it to heart.
Perhaps this is the advantage of artificial intelligence, they will not forget a word you said to them.
What Adam ordered was a balcony box on the second floor, where there were only two chairs, a tea table, and a lot of snacks, tea and wine. After Zhang Xun took his seat, he noticed that sitting diagonally opposite seemed to be the sixth chief and the first chief. In addition, there are many congressmen and military officers he has seen...all of them are wearing bright and bright dresses, bringing their partners, and holding amber champagne in their hands. The posture is elegant and noble, like a British nobleman who came out of the Victorian period.
Many eyes focused on him and Adam, presumably they did not expect to see the two of them in this kind of place. Especially the sixth chief, who looked at them unabashedly with snake-like eyes.
Zhang Xun was a little uncomfortable.
"Leave them alone." Adam whispered in his ear, squeezed his hand, then grabbed an orange, carefully pushed it aside, and gave half of it to Zhang Xun.
Not long after, the opera officially began. "Carmen" tells the story of Carmen, a gypsy girl with a variety of styles and a fiery personality, who uses her extraordinary charm to try her best to seduce an upright and ignorant sergeant Jose, but after getting him, she empathizes with another man. On a young bullfighter. Jose, who lost everything because of her doing all kinds of stupid things, begged her not to betray him, but only got a cold rejection. In the end, Jose, who had nothing left and fell into the abyss of despair, killed Carmen and surrendered himself.
When I saw the fourth act, it was also the final act. Zhang Xun suddenly felt fingers brushing his cheek.
"Why are you crying?" Adam teased with a chuckle, "Have you gotten into the drama too much?"
Only then did Zhang Xun realize that when he saw the scene where Jose thrust the dagger into Carmen's chest, he had already burst into tears. He wiped away his tears with his palm, and laughed at himself, "Yeah, I got too deep into the drama."
"If you like it, we will watch it every time we have a new play." Adam gently wiped the water stains on his cheeks, his eyes as gentle as the moonlight, "These operas are indeed very different from playing them in the head different effect."
"Okay." Zhang Xun nodded, looking at Adam seriously, "Let's watch together later."
When the actors called their curtain call, Zhang Xun took Adam and left quietly. He didn't want to deal with those people in the sixth chief right now.
Zhang Xun was already very tired, just dealing with Adam already required him to concentrate and do his best.
Adam's schedule for the day was apparently based on the data he collected on human courtship activity. After the opera, he took Zhang Xun to a French restaurant with lazy jazz music. The restaurant was very full that night, all couples who came out for the festival.
After all, there are not many festivals that Paradise Lost can keep in sync with the ordinary world. People want to seize every moment to celebrate some of the few remaining bliss in life.
Zhang Xun really didn't have much appetite, but he still dutifully ate all the food on the plate. He tried to cheer himself up, and there were times when his laughter was genuine.
He has been looking at Adam seriously, trying to remember every subtle arc on Adam's face.
The last activity of the evening is to watch the stars from the clock tower in Victoria Square.
Adam had prepared enough coats to wrap them tightly. Adam's arms were also emitting a suitable heat, holding Zhang Xun in his arms. There is no light pollution in the city here. When the two of them raised their heads, they could see a galaxy of stars shining like diamonds across the entire black velvet sky.
The light of the stars fell into their eyes through tens of thousands of years. Perhaps when they were watching, the star that emitted or shone the light had already died, and they could not observe it until many years later. arrive.
Adam suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the stars at a certain moment in the sky, "One day, we will go there."
