Chapter 363: Chapter 363
In the end, Ling Momo abandoned the carriage and walked on foot. She reached the lakeside of the small town and couldn’t help but close her eyes, breathe deeply, and flash a faint smile, feeling the dreamlike essence of the city.
Li Qingshen watched Ling Momo, her eyes serene, the corners of her lips curved in a gentle smile. Silently, he took out his phone and captured this eternal moment.
Afterward, he slowly swiped through the photos on his phone, all of which were of Momo: at End of the World in Hainan, at Niagara Falls in New York, on a London bus... and right here, right now.
Li Qingshen gazed for a long time before he slowly put away his phone and quietly stepped beside Ling Momo, standing in silence with her.
It took Momo a while before she opened her eyes. Looking at the town blooming with red willows and bright flowers, under the clear blue sky and gentle breeze, she was struck by the illusion of peaceful times. She couldn’t resist exclaiming, "I never imagined such a dreamlike town could actually exist in this world."
"Indeed, initially this place was France’s most inconsequential, insignificant little existence, but since Monet’s arrival, it became world-renowned. Everyone who comes to France visits this town, and later..." Li Qingshen paused slightly before continuing, "It was called a fairyland by people."
Ling Momo nodded in realization, feeling that the term "fairyland" could not be more fitting to describe the town.
Li Qingshen looked into the distance, his expression oddly mingled with amusement. In fact, he had almost let slip that there was a saying that went—Giverny, the town of dreams, elope here with the one you love!
After leaving France, they visited the mysterious Pyramids of Egypt, the Aegean Sea in Greece, the Maldives, Vienna, the city of music... and their final stop was Sigh Bridge in Venice.
By this time, two months peacefully drifted by since they started filming.
After the shooting was completed, the group took a small boat to tour the world-famous Water City. As usual, at every place they visited, Li Qingshen could narrate the stories and legends of each site to Ling Momo, and Sigh Bridge was no exception.
As they approached Sigh Bridge, Li Qingshen’s clear, indifferent voice already began to ring out, "Sigh Bridge, also known as Sunset Bridge, connects the Governor Office and Venice’s prison. It was a necessary path for transferring death-row inmates from the court to the prison, as crossing this bridge symbolized an eternal farewell to the living world."
Momo nodded, then turned her head to glance aside and noticed the marble-carved chrysanthemum window grilles, exquisitely detailed. This content belongs to NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Li Qingshen said no more, just staring at the bridge ahead with an enigmatic look flickering in his eyes. Then, he spoke to the Venetian boatman in Italian, which Momo couldn’t understand. The boatman nodded and kept giving thumbs-up.
Right then, it was sunset, the skies ablaze with red, reflecting the clear water below also in crimson hues.
Li Qingshen and Ling Momo sat in a small boat passing under the Sigh Bridge when suddenly the boatman’s hand trembled, and the small craft struck the stone wall beside it. Then, the boat tipped over to Momo’s side.
Before Momo could even cry out, she plunged into the water, and the next moment, Li Qingshen also fell into the water in her direction.
