Chapter 147: Beginning of the Journey, Stop 1
For the remaining five hours, Ke Yumo wrapped himself in a blanket and read on the plane, eating and drinking from time to time, and soon arrived in Paris.
When we arrived in Paris, it was 10:30 pm Beijing time, which was 4:30 am Paris time.
After leaving the airport, Ke Yumo looked at the Western faces coming and going, and held Shen Yushen's small hand tighter again.
"It's okay, let's take a bus to the hotel first, and then we'll rent a car in the morning." Shen Yushen also held her hand tightly.
Shen Yushen took her to the taxi stand. The driver was a middle-aged man with a big beard. After helping them put their suitcases in the car, he asked them where they were going. Shen Yushen told him the name of the hotel. The middle-aged man smiled and said that the hotel was quite close to his home and that she could call him next time she went out. He also said that his girlfriend was very beautiful.
When Shen Yushen heard this, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. When the uncle knew that this was his wife, he burst into laughter.
Ke Yumo could understand most of it, but there was still a small part that she didn't understand, so Shen Yushen patiently explained it to her.
When the uncle saw Shen Yushen and Ke Yumo in the rearview mirror, he thought of his wife. He decided to go home after finishing this order.
The uncle sent them to the hotel, helped them take down their luggage, waved his hand and left.
Shen Yushen booked the Royal Monceau Raffles Paris, which is close to the Champs-Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe, making it very convenient for tourists.
Shen Yushen carried the suitcase, held Ke Yumo's hand, got the room card, and took Ke Yumo to find the room.
The hotel lighting was very beautiful, with mirrors everywhere, making it very photogenic. Their room was a suite, and when Ke Yumo entered the room, the first thing he saw was the furniture that was not placed against the wall, the beige and brown room design style, and various small details, such as stationery, guitars, envelopes, and the most common things were the arranged flowers of all seasons.
"Okay, baby, take a rest first. Then we'll rent a car and go out for fun. What kind of car do you want to rent?" Shen Yushen opened the car rental software and showed it to her.
What car to rent? Ke Yumo took his phone and looked through the available cars. Finally, she chose Maserati Levante, a medium-to-large SUV with plenty of room for two people. The main reason was that Ke Yumo liked Maserati's leather seats, which had a great texture.
"That's it, let's take a rest and go rent a car with our things." Shen Yushen first made a reservation on his mobile phone and then made an appointment for the car rental time.
After sitting on the flight for eleven hours, they were still very tired even though they had slept on the plane. They lay down and fell asleep immediately.
It was already ten o'clock in the morning when she woke up. Ke Yumo stood on the balcony and stretched. Looking downstairs, she suddenly thought of Hemingway's words: "Paris is a moveable feast."
When Shen Yushen raised his hand, he didn't touch her head, but the cool quilt, and immediately opened his eyes.
"Baby, are you up?" Shen Yushen saw her standing on the balcony.
The sunlight danced on her hair, giving her whole body a golden hue.
"Well, the weather is really nice today. The streets are filled with the scent of flowers and lavender." As soon as she entered the room, she saw fresh lavender in the vase.
"Well, this month is the flowering season for lavender. If you want to see the lavender, we can go in the afternoon." Shen Yushen looked at Ke Yumo while putting on his clothes.
"Okay, I've been to the lavender fields in Xinjiang. I wonder if there is any difference between here and our place." Ke Yumo has been to the lavender fields in Yili, Xinjiang. The endless lavender fields against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds look like a romantic purple ocean.
"Let's go, let's go for a walk." Seeing that she had packed up, Shen Yushen suggested going out for a walk.
The hotel is closest to the Champs-Elysées, so they went there first. Ke Yumo didn't look at any of the top brands first, but instead took Shen Yushen to the No. 1 Macaron store. She had wanted to come there for a long time.
After buying the things, the two walked slowly on the street holding hands. There were many seats on the avenue for tourists to rest and bask in the sun. Shen Yushen asked her to sit and wait for him for a while. He went to buy coffee and dessert. The two found a seat and sat together to share the dessert.
"Is there anything you want to buy, baby?" Shen Yushen raised his chin. On this street full of international brands, there is no woman who would not be moved.
"No, I'll buy them some gifts when I get back, and also buy a few boxes of macarons to take back. As for me, let's buy them together then. Don't we have to rent a car?" Ke Yumo ate a macaron, and his cheeks were bulging.
"Well, let's rent a car first, and then go visit the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe." Shen Yushen nodded and listened to her.
"You speak French very well. It seems that you can understand even some French with accents." Ke Yumo was a little curious about how he did it.
"I came to France on a business trip and stayed there for a few months, so I became quite familiar with the city." Shen Yushen was called here on a business trip by his grandfather. He stayed there for more than three months, almost four months, and became relatively familiar with Paris.
Ke Yumo wiped his hands, tidied himself up and stood up, "Let's go, let's go rent a car, have you got your things?"
Shen Yushen also carried a bag today, which contained things needed for renting a car.
The car rental place was not far away, so the two of them walked over there, checked the vehicle, and completed the formalities before driving out successfully.
"We drive on the right here too." Ke Yumo felt that there was not much difference from China.
"Well, people drive on the left in the UK." Shen Yushen was driving the car. He was worried about letting Ke Yumo drive as she was not familiar with the traffic rules here, so he should drive.
In the afternoon, the two of them went to several popular tourist attractions, and the scenic spots were full of people.
"I'll take you to see the lavender tomorrow and come back in the evening." Shen Yushen saw that it was getting dark and it was too late to see the lavender.
"Okay, I want to see the Champs-Elysées at night. I heard it looks better than during the day." Even though Ke Yumo and Shen Yushen had been running for the entire afternoon, she still didn't forget to read guides and watch videos.
"Okay, let's have dinner here too. There are several very good restaurants here with unique features." Shen Yushen had eaten here many times when he was on business trips.
"Okay." Ke Yumo agreed readily.
The two parked the car back at the hotel and walked to the Champs-Elysées.
The desire to buy things may be aroused in the evening, especially when you are hungry.
Ke Yumo went into almost every store here one by one, and was not until he was too tired that Shen Yushen took him to have dinner.
How can you not eat foie gras when you are in France?
Following the recommendations of the restaurant staff, the two ordered some of the restaurant's specialties.
The dishes looked delicious when they were served, and they were both beautiful and substantial.
Ke Yumo was very satisfied with the meal. After leaving the restaurant, he bought donuts and crepes.
The Champs-Elysées at night has a different style than during the day, and there are more people at night.
Ke Yumo bought a belt for Shen Yushen, and Shen Yushen gave her a bottle of French brand perfume. The rest were almost all bought for other people. He bought perfume, desserts, and accessories for Su Yuluo, accessories for Qin Xi, and desserts and red wine for Grandpa Shen.
Ke Yumo bought herself some accessories and various little dresses.
Carrying a lot of things, the two returned to the hotel and lay down directly.
The hotel also provided fruit, red wine and small desserts for midnight snacks.
Ke Yumo and Shen Yushen sat on the balcony for a while. The breeze blew Ke Yumo's hair. Shen Yushen felt that Ke Yumo was like a doll at this time.
