Chapter 808 Slow Life in Italy

Italians' lifestyle is recognized as the most leisurely, relaxed and slow-paced in Europe.

Start with breakfast, with a simple cup of cappuccino or espresso, and a croissant or other exquisite pastry.

Italians will leisurely enjoy their meal before driving slowly or going to the station to wait for the bus.

They never wolf down their meals or rush to catch the bus to work.

At lunch, they often drink a little wine elegantly. They never drink too much and have a good sense of proportion.

At 1 p.m., you will find that almost all shops are closed, and the town’s buses and trains have stopped running. This is because Italians attach great importance to siestas, and their siesta time is from 1 to 3 p.m. every day.

Then in the evening, family-oriented Italians take their children for a stroll down the street or chat with neighbors, a standard pre-dinner ritual.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the streets are often empty.

Because at this time, Italians either enjoy dinner at home or hold family gatherings in restaurants.

Late at night, they would go out for a walk again. Rather than staying at home, they preferred to walk outdoors with their families and chat with their neighbors when they met them, just like they were close friends.

Finally, go home and have a good sleep, and a relaxing and pleasant day will begin again.

Hermione sat down holding the two cute pets, her eyes full of longing.

She likes the slow lifestyle of Italians, which seems leisurely and casual, but actually pays special attention to appearance, words and deeds.

Not long after, Vincent brought breakfast.

He placed the croissant in front of her, then stared at the small cup of espresso with a strange expression.

The taste of this thing is not something that most people can accept. It has the flavors of cream, nuts, dark chocolate, and caramel, which translates to colorful bitterness.

Vincent looked at his girlfriend, whose face was filled with longing, and carefully placed the espresso in front of her.

Hermione put Goo Goo and Crookshanks on the dining table and picked up the coffee and smelled it expectantly.

The aroma is light and ethereal, exuding an alluring floral and fruity scent.

Vincent couldn't help but want to say something, but after thinking it over he finally shut his mouth.

His girlfriend's personality is as stubborn as his. The more he forbids her to do something, the more she wants to do it.

When Hermione took a sip, Vincent was ready to deploy the magic barrier at any time.

The rich and mellow coffee wrapped around the tip of her tongue, and the silky touch like cream and honey made her begin to enjoy it.

However, she enjoyed it for less than a second before the colorful pain made her delicate little face twist up.

Merlin, this was the worst... no, the most "unique" drink she had ever tasted.

Vincent thoughtfully handed over a napkin.

Hermione shook her head slightly, closed her eyes and swallowed the coffee in her mouth hard.

Strangely enough, the coffee remaining in the mouth actually gives off a special sweetness and aroma.

She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the espresso in her hand.

So this is what the Italians call aftertaste.

But this process is too painful...

Vincent smiled bitterly as he watched her raise the cup and then put it down. "If it's hard to adapt, don't do it. I'll get you some sugar cubes."

Hermione pouted, but didn't say much.

When he came back with the sugar cubes, she put three directly into the small coffee cup.

After taking another sip, her slightly frowned brows finally relaxed completely.

She took an elegant bite of the croissant, and her longing for Italy's slow life returned to her face.

Vincent supported his face with one hand and watched her quietly enjoy her breakfast.

Slow living is really good, but unfortunately his time is limited, even though he is on vacation now.

The Waynes and Chris did not disturb the young couple, and Gugu and Crookshanks were also very attentive and lay on the table to rest.

After a long breakfast, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.

After bringing the two cute pets back to the room upstairs, Vincent and Hermione came to the gym on the 7th floor of the hotel.

They stayed in a five-star hotel and the gym was of an equally high standard.

At a glance, you can see professional equipment everywhere, and there are many residents exercising, and even a few couples showing their love.

The two of them came to the treadmill and jogged, their paces were surprisingly consistent.

Many guests noticed this scene.

This couple is completely different from those who show off their love; they really come here to exercise.

After jogging for 15 minutes, Hermione came to the sit-up bench and lay down, letting Vincent, who was holding dumbbells, sit on her calves.

There was no intimate action, they just exercised on their own with tacit understanding.

Another 15 minutes passed and Vincent was lying on the bench.

Hermione added 50 kilograms to the barbell plates at both ends, and he easily completed 5 sets of 60 bench presses.

It seemed that the amount of exercise was not enough, so Vincent asked her to add some more weight.

80 kilograms, after another 5 sets, my forehead was covered with sweat.

He took the towel Hermione handed him and wiped his face, then followed her to the butterfly machine.

Under the gaze of countless incredulous eyes, she sat on it and did 5 sets of 60 in a row.

Several guests even exclaimed "Mamma Mia!"

A good figure is indeed achieved through exercise.

Vincent and Hermione worked out in the gym for an hour and a half. When they left, the residents discovered that they had not taken a break in the middle of any of the exercises, but had completed them all in one go.

Look at them, and then look at those who show their affection in the gym. I guess they will never be able to reach the level of these two even if they train for their entire lives.

I went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, and the Wayne couple, who had been out for a stroll, just came back.

The two families got together to discuss the itinerary.

The two fathers thought it was good to stay in the local area, after all, Modena has the reputation of being the "Engine Capital".

The two mothers thought that they should go to Milan, which only takes more than an hour to drive there, just in time for lunch and then they can go shopping.

vote?

The minority obeys the majority?

That doesn't exist. If you don't want to sleep on the couch tonight, just be a good driver.

Vincent patted his old father on the shoulder and said, "Dad, I told you that you should listen to Mom. Look, no matter how much you insist, you still have to go to Milan."

Eric stared at his son's retreating back angrily.

Even if the outcome is already determined, the middle-aged man must maintain his face.

Chris, who understood the situation, came to his side and said, "Let's go quickly. We can't delay their shopping."

The two fathers sighed silently in their hearts.

They have really paid too much for family harmony.

A few minutes later, three Bugatti supercars drove out of the hotel.
