Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 76 - 59 Brothers
Chapter 76: Chapter 59 Brothers
Chapter 76 -59 Brothers
Shu Wan was taken aback and looked down at the sightseeing guide; it did indeed resemble the route that young couples on dates would take.
She didn’t mind, but she was mainly worried Fu Siyu might misunderstand.
As if knowing what Shu Wan was thinking, Fu Siyu turned to her, “I won’t misunderstand, just follow your plan.”
“Okay then.”
According to Shu Wan’s plan, they first went to the Basilica of the Holy Mother of Flowers.
At this time, the rain had stopped, but the sky was still gloomy with wispy clouds circling the top of the cathedral, adding a touch of mystery to it.
This beautiful cathedral, faced with white, red, and green granite, fully interpreted the classical, elegant, and free spirit cherished during the Renaissance.
Walking from the outside to the inside of the church, they passed countless bas-reliefs and frescoed domes.
The bas-reliefs were completely different in style and skill from the ones in ancient Hua Country, and Shu Wan found them very interesting.
To her surprise, Fu Siyu seemed to know a lot about them.
He was like a walking encyclopedia, explaining to Shu Wan everything from the schools of bas-relief to architectural styles to the implied meanings with crystal clarity.
Daylight filtered through the stained glass and fell upon Fu Siyu’s clear-cut side face.
He stood tall and elegant, detailing these medieval artistic legacies with his deep voice echoing gently in her ear, slowly and steadily calming the mind.
Shu Wan couldn’t help but take a second look at Fu Siyu.
No one could resist admiring a knowledgeable and powerful person, and Fu Siyu was exceptional in that regard.
He gave the impression that no matter what the issue, he could resolve it with ease.
Noticing Shu Wan’s gaze, Fu Siyu paused slightly, “Is something wrong?”
“No,” Shu Wan praised Fu Siyu from the bottom of her heart, “You know so much, it’s impressive.”
His eyes warmed a bit, “If I can receive a compliment from you, my role as a guide is indeed worthwhile.” fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Shu Wan smiled and glanced around when she suddenly saw something and grew curious, “What are they doing over there?”
Following Shu Wan’s gaze, Fu Siyu took a look and his expression shifted slightly, “They are taking wedding photos.”
“Can wedding photos be taken in the church?”
“Yes,” Fu Siyu nodded, “Many of the churches here are open to the public.”
Shu Wan had not seen how modern people took wedding photos yet, so she approached out of curiosity, “Let’s go have a look too.”
“Okay.”
The wedding photo shoot featured a foreign couple, the man in a black suit and the woman in a pure white gown, embracing in front of a huge bas-relief.
In her former life, the bride and groom-to-be couldn’t see each other for at least a month before their wedding, a practice entirely different from now.
Seeing Shu Wan looking intently, Fu Siyu turned his head, “Do you prefer Chinese-style weddings or Western-style?”
“I think they’re both quite nice.” Each had its own cultural characteristics, and to Shu Wan, both were good.
“Mm,” Fu Siyu responded, not saying anything further.
The newlyweds moved through the church, changing several shooting scenes, and Shu Wan and Fu Siyu followed along.
Being so conspicuous, they naturally drew the attention of the bride and groom.
During a break in the shoot, the enthusiastic bride approached Shu Wan and handed her a bag of wedding sweets, “Hello, are you tourists from the East?”
After translating with a language app, Shu Wan calmly interacted, “Yes.”
“Wow, you two are so beautiful, you must be a very loving couple.”
Shu Wan was about to say they weren’t a couple, but then she thought that legally they were, and it would be pointless to deny it, so she nodded, “You look very beautiful today.”
“Thank you, I’m so happy to receive such a compliment from someone as beautiful as you,” the bride liked Shu Wan, “Can you give me a wish for my new marriage?”
Shu Wan nodded, “Of course, you can.”
As soon as Shu Wan finished speaking, the bride immediately took Shu Wan’s hand and placed it on top of Fu Siyu’s.
A trace of warmth flowed from the back of her hand.
Fu Siyu instinctively turned his head to look at Shu Wan, who was also looking at the bride in surprise.
The bride winked at Shu Wan, pulled her own husband over, and then very respectfully placed both her and her husband’s hands under Shu Wan’s.
“We hope we can be as happy as you two.” The bride looked at Shu Wan with hopeful eyes as if she could really receive blessings from her.
The bride and groom were so devout that Shu Wan felt a little embarrassed to withdraw her hand.
She held Fu Siyu’s hand and smiled at the bride, “You definitely will be.”
It was only after the bride and groom finished taking photos and left that Shu Wan finally let go of Fu Siyu’s hand.
The lingering warmth on her hand dissipated, and Fu Siyu couldn’t help but feel a touch of emptiness.
“Let’s go eat.”
The bride had finished taking the wedding photos, and Shu Wan had already seen most of the sights within the church.
“Alright.”
The two did not take a car but quietly walked along the Mao River towards the restaurant.
As the sky gradually darkened, there were hardly any pedestrians by the river, just the slowly brightening streetlamps adding a dreamy hue to the cobblestone path.
Shu Wan really enjoyed talking with Fu Siyu.
Fu Siyu was knowledgeable about everything, spoke with a sense of when to advance and when to retreat, and always maintained a good distance.
Even though they were separated by a thousand years and grew up in different eras, Shu Wan felt a sense of recognizing a kindred spirit in Fu Siyu.
She suddenly changed her mind, “Otherwise, let’s switch to a different place to eat.”
“I’m fine with anything, it’s up to you.”
Shu Wan pointed to a simple tavern not far from the riverbank, “How about we drink some wine?”
Fu Siyu naturally had no objections.
Coincidentally, the owner of the tavern was also from Hua Country, and he was selling Hua Country’s baijiu here.
Seeing a fellow countryman, the owner was very happy and enthusiastically arranged a window seat for them that offered a view of the entire exterior street.
“Feel free to drink, we have plenty of alcohol in this tavern.”
The owner said, bringing out several jars of wine.
Seeing the ceramic jars, Shu Wan felt a rare joy.
She hadn’t even seen such old-fashioned wine bottles in the Imperial City, just like the ones she used to drink from in her previous life.
Seeing Shu Wan examining the wine bottle, the owner got a bit embarrassed, “I’m sorry, these were just dug out of the cellar.
If you mind, I can change to a different bottle for you.”
“No need.” Before Shu Wan could speak, Fu Siyu was the first to respond, “This one is fine.”
He could tell that Shu Wan liked it.
“Alright then.”
Following Shu Wan’s preference, the owner served several hot and cold dishes, “Please enjoy, call me if you need anything.”
Shu Wan tried a piece of braised beef with her chopsticks, her eyebrows slightly raised, “I never expected to stumble upon such a familiar taste here.”
It might have been Shu Wan’s illusion, but the flavor was quite similar to that of a restaurant she frequently visited back in the Capital in her previous life.
In an era a thousand years later, ten thousand kilometers away from the Imperial City, in a foreign land, tasting a flavor similar to one from a thousand years before, Shu Wan almost couldn’t distinguish between dreams and reality.
However, whether in a dream or reality, with wine and a confidant, Shu Wan’s mood at that moment could definitely be described as good.
At that moment, fireworks burst forth outside the window.
Shu Wan raised her glass and toasted Fu Siyu, “I’m very glad to have met you.”
“Me too.”
At the moment their glasses clinked together, Fu Siyu was fully welcomed into the ranks of her trusted friends.
