In ancient times, snowflakes were already fluttering down, and the modern world had also entered winter.
However, Haicheng was after all located in the south, and east facing the sea, so although the weather had already cooled down, it was still far from snowing.
Or rather, the people of Haicheng had not seen snow for a long time.
But compared to the sparse pedestrians on the streets in ancient winters, the streets of Haicheng were bustling with cars and people, very noisy.
The sky had darkened, and the entire city was lit up with ubiquitous neon lights, illuminating dozens of li around, as if it were daytime.
At eight o’clock in the evening, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan arrived at the entrance of Haicheng Grand Theatre, each holding a cup of milk tea, queuing for ticket inspection.
“I originally thought these two tickets would go to waste, but unexpectedly they can still be used,” Lin Wan said with a giggle.
Lu Zheng looked at the tickets in his hand.
Italian opera, “La Traviata”.
“Tickets from Xiao Ying,” Lin Wan said, “Not coming would be a waste, and I have no one to give them to.”
Lu Zheng pursed his lips, “Does this opera speak Huayu or Yiguo language?”
Lin Wan pointed to the poster, and Lu Zheng followed her gaze, it was written as the Italian Sheng Ziluolan art performance team.
Alright…
Lu Zheng said speechlessly, “Then we won’t understand anything…”
“Look at the plot introduction, do you think everyone coming to the scene can understand?” Lin Wan said in a low voice.
Lu Zheng looked around, the audience queuing to enter, half foreigners and half Huaguo people, everyone dressed impeccably, looking proper.
But he and Lin Wan were not bad either, after exercising and washing up, they were also imposing, standing out.
“Speaking of which, am I too lazy?” Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, looking at the text on the poster, muttering to himself.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Wan asked.
“Should I learn a foreign language?” Lu Zheng said, “If I learn a foreign language, future overseas travel won’t be so troublesome.”
Lin Wan laughed, “As if you could master it just by learning.”
Lu Zheng nodded seriously, “To get started, it does require some effort.”
Last year during May Day to Southeast Asia, and National Day to Europe, his qi yun light was not yet abundant, so he didn’t learn foreign languages.
Later when qi yun light was abundant, he was too lazy to learn foreign languages.
After all, compared to musical instruments, painting, chess, etc., the entry rules are relatively simple, and the follow-up is just a matter of proficiency and artistic conception, which can be instantly improved with qi yun light.
Foreign languages are purely a matter of memory and vocabulary.
Lu Zheng basically doesn’t go abroad, and has no interest in communicating with foreigners, isn’t it better to spend time on romance? Why learn foreign languages?
But recently with nothing to do, perhaps he can learn foreign languages to pass the time?
After all, with the jade seal, and his true spirit becoming more robust, not to say photographic memory, but memory is strong, presumably learning foreign languages isn’t as difficult as before.
Moreover, many Riguo classic comics and movies don’t have Huawen versions.
“Decided! Learn foreign languages!” Lu Zheng fiercely sucked a mouthful of milk tea.
Ticket inspection, entry, find seats.
Just sat down, someone from behind leaned over.
“Mr. Lu, Miss Lin.”
“Eh? Mr. Sanders?” Lu Zheng said in surprise.
The person was the owner of that Yiguo restaurant called KASAMUVA, Sanders.
Speaking of which, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan hadn’t been to that Yiguo restaurant for a long time.
Hm, it should be said that they hadn’t gone since the poisoning incident at the wine party last time.
Unexpectedly, after more than a year, they met again at the grand theatre.
Hm, thinking about it, Sanders is Yiguo person, now doing business in Huaguo, earning quite a bit, since there is a performance team from his hometown coming to Huaguo to perform, it’s normal for him to come support.
Just happening to bump into Lu Zheng, that was a bit coincidental.
“Long time no see,” Sanders said with a smile.
“Long time no see, Mr. Sanders!” Lu Zheng smiled and shook his hand.
“I didn’t expect you two to be interested in ‘La Traviata’,” Sanders said, then asked with some doubt, “But forgive my directness, do you two understand it?”
“To be honest, these are tickets given by a friend, although we don’t understand, but we can feel the plot and atmosphere.”
“That’s true, although the language is different, the emotions in the songs can be felt, I believe the actors of Sheng Ziluolan have this singing skill,” Sanders said.
At this point, Sanders indicated a Huaguo middle-aged woman beside him, “By the way, this is my wife, Zhao Xin.”
“Hello, Ms. Zhao,” Lu Zheng and Lin Wan greeted together, and also understood why Sanders opened a restaurant in Huaguo.
“Hello,” Zhao Xin nodded, also greeted.
At this time, the opera hadn’t started, the theatre was filled with scattered conversations.
Although knowing Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were just joining the fun, “La Traviata” after all is a famous Yiguo piece, Sanders took this time to explain the plot to them, and the famous actors in the Sheng Ziluolan team.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan originally just planned to pass time, find a place to enjoy their couple time, but since someone was explaining, they didn’t mind learning more.
…
The opera started, the scene immediately quieted down, Sanders also retreated back, quietly enjoying with his wife.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan also held hands, together appreciating this Western opera performance form.
Gorgeous stage and props, excellent performance and singing, indeed elevated the quality of this opera, worth the ticket price.
Unfortunately, Lu Zheng and the two couldn’t understand the dialogue and lyrics, enjoyment greatly discounted.
However…
“This lead actress is not bad, quite immersive,” Lu Zheng commented.
Lin Wan glanced, that undulating mountain range was indeed rare in the world.
“Unfortunately, looks average, and skin too poor, all relying on heavy makeup,” Lin Wan also commented.
Her cultivation was not weak, circulating power to her eyes, she saw the female lead clearly.
“Ah yes yes yes!” Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly.
…
When the opera ended, it was already nearly eleven o’clock at night.
In the exit passage, Sanders pulled his wife to walk shoulder to shoulder with Lu Zheng and the two.
They chatted casually, Sanders mentioned last year’s wine party poisoning case.
Sanders of course thought of Tony, “By the way, Tony said he invited you, later I heard he returned to his country, no more contact, did he contact you later?”
“No,” Lu Zheng seriously shook his head, “He already treated us to dinner that night.”
Lin Wan also smiled, “He is obviously a big shot, why would we disturb him?”
“What big shot, you saved his life,” Sanders said, “Next time he comes to the restaurant, I must properly tell him off.”
Lu Zheng blinked, but didn’t stop him.
After all, Tony definitely couldn’t go to Sanders’ restaurant.
