Chu Ni Fan Wan
Sun Zhu adjusted the wide-brimmed hat on his head, stroked his long hair hanging on his shoulders, and followed the waiter into the high-end coffee shop in front of him.
The waiter in a well-tailored uniform was elegant and caring, and even opened the door for her when she was brought to the door of the reserved room, and handed her a folded printed handkerchief with a faint woody fragrance on it.
Sun Zhu stuffed the tip he had prepared in advance into the pocket of his uniform, smiled at him, and walked into the private room that seemed to have a very wide view.
There was already a person sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window of the room. She had blond and slightly curly long hair shawl, and a slim sea-blue dress, making her tall and elegant.
This is... Fina who I haven't seen for almost a month.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Fina turned her head to look at Sun Zhu who was pounced on by Xiong, and patted her on the shoulder helplessly.
"Dress like a lady, and don't pretend to be a little bit."
"But I miss you, don't you miss me?" Sun Zhu blinked, took off his hat and hung it on the back of the chair.She wore a goose yellow dress with lace trim today. It looked good, but it was not very breathable.The hat she wore was the magic hat that Luna gave her back then, but now it has also become a wide-brimmed sun hat of the same color.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and Fina handed over a cup of coffee with ice cubes, and said lightly: "Although we haven't seen each other for 28 days, during this period I saw your owl Jed No less than ten times. Miss Sun, I miss you a little, but not much."
Sun Zhu took a sip of coffee indifferently, then sat on the chair in an unladylike manner and laughed: "But you even remember how many cubes of sugar I need to add to the vanilla latte I drink!"
"It's not me who remembers this. I never drink coffee with sugar. Does coffee with sugar still have a soul?" Fina rolled her eyes lightly, and looked out the window again.
Sun Zhu also turned his head to look at the sparkling water outside, and asked with some uncertainty: "The Thames? Is this a boating competition?"
"That's right! Students from Cambridge and Oxford University come here to compete every summer. It's their tradition for many years. I used to come here when I was a child." Karina was wearing a pink dress and her long light-colored hair was braided With loose braids, half of his body leaned in from the door, "This is a great viewing angle, but I think going closer to the river can better feel the atmosphere of the game!"
"Did you book this private room specially for us to watch the rowing competition?" Sun Zhu glanced at the top Cambridge and Oxford students in the waterway wearing dark blue and light blue competition suits, and began to admire Karina a little.
"My mother has been taking care of the hair of the female owner of this coffee shop for many years, and the relationship is very good, so I have VIP treatment here." Karina jumped up and hugged Sun Zhu and Fina, "You guys come here Not coincidentally, a few months earlier, during the Easter holidays, the boys from the nearby Eton College had similar competitions, and they were no worse than these people at all."
"Eton College? Is that the private middle school that only recruits noble boys?" Sun Zhu was a little surprised, seeing that Fina was looking at them blankly, she simply explained: "Well, for example, the current crown prince, Prince Charles, once He went to school there, and his sons Prince William and Prince Harry will also attend Eton in the future."
"Oh, it sounds like a great aristocratic school among Muggles." Fina nodded and took a sip of her black coffee without sugar.
"The point is not the Muggle nobles, but most of them are handsome!" Karina held her face, "It's nothing to look at, right?"
"That's right..." Sun Zhu couldn't bear to tell her that from here, she couldn't see the faces of the sailors clearly at all, but it was indeed visually enjoyable to see their neat and graceful rowing movements.
"Let's go and have a closer look!" Karina tried to pull them to the crowded place by the river bank, but the sun outside made Sun Zhu daunted.
"Dear Karina, you know, if it weren't for the fact that we love you enough... on such a hot day, letting us come out of the house and meet you in this prosperous Muggle place is a thing in itself that is worse than Snape It's hard for the professor to deduct points from Slytherin." Sun Zhu hugged her iced coffee and leaned on the recliner by the French window, overlooking the Thames River outside, while expressing her determination not to go out to Karina.
Fina nodded in agreement and enjoyed the scenery with her.
"You guys are so lazy, hmph." Karina said speechlessly, "It looks like I have to find a coolie to shade you from the sun."
"Speaking of which, Digory did say that he was coming, so what about others?" Fina finished her cup of coffee calmly, and looked at Sun Zhu with some amusement.
"Hey, Seid said he wanted to accompany his mother to visit a friend, so he can't come today." Sun Zhu took a sip of latte and tried to emphasize: "Today is a few of our good sisters coming out to play, so what are the others doing?"
"But I told Cedric the address here, and he didn't come?" Karina shook her head: "It's not like his style of doing things."
"He even told me how to order your favorite drink, coffee with sugar, black tea and milk, but he didn't come by himself?" Fina rolled her eyes.Ever since he knew Cedric's "open secret", Cedric was much more carefree than her, and he didn't seem to worry about her, a bystander.
"It's true that I have to be busy all of a sudden. The person who wants to visit is an elder. He didn't mean to spoil everyone." Sun Zhu tried to explain, "And I learned my taste from Aunt Fiona, so he can remember It's also... normal."
"Oh...it's a pity that my aunt and I have lived together for several years, and I haven't remembered what she likes to drink. It seems that it shouldn't be." Fina nodded, seemingly convinced.
"Look over there, there are so many people, what are they doing?" Sun Zhu forced to change the subject, she pointed to a place by the river where the crowd cheered and gathered, a little curious.
Most of the people in other places were watching the race in the waterway, but the people there seemed to be attracted by other things, and even took the camera to try to take pictures.
"Let me see!" Karina took a closer look, and then quickly exclaimed: "It's her! It's the princess!"
"...Who?" Sun Zhu looked towards the direction Karina pointed at. Not far from the river bank, there was a woman wearing a casual white shirt, a black skirt, and a red hat with roses on her side. The focus of the crowd.
"I didn't expect the princess to come to watch the game." Karina was surprised and felt normal, "She has always loved to play with everyone, queuing up to go to Disney like ordinary people, or mixing in the crowd to watch the game like this .”
"Hey? Zhu, where are you going?" Fina glanced at Sun Zhu who was wearing a hat and was about to go out, but she said excitedly, "I think watching the game from a close distance is more enjoyable."
"Great, Zhu, let's go together!" Karina followed and ran out of the private room, only in time to tell Fina that they would be back soon.
Fina continued to look at the crowd over there in bewilderment, and now they were lined up neatly. The woman in the red hat smiled and nodded to them, and then focused on watching the game, seeming to enjoy all of it.
"Muggle princess, she seems to be very popular." Fina nodded, and soon saw Sun Zhu and Karina in the crowd trying to approach her slowly.
Half an hour later, the door of the private room was opened again.Fina glanced at the door, then spread her hands and said, "You are late, I am the only one here now."
"Sorry, after the visit, I will ask my mother to send me to the nearby temporary office of the Ministry of Magic. After entering the place where Muggles live, I will no longer be able to use magic. But I really don't know much about the way of Muggles, so It took some time."
He approached the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked down at the rowing team that had marched far away, and asked with some doubts: "Are the people below watching the game?"
"Anyway, bamboo should not be for this."
"Oh?"
"You lost to..." Fina tapped her forehead and said thoughtfully, "An English rose."
"Rose?" Cedric didn't know, so he looked down. At this time, the crowd had dispersed a lot with the departure of the fleet, and the two figures, one yellow and one pink, seemed to have found a chance to approach.
They talked to the tall woman excitedly, and she also bent down slightly and shook hands with the two flushed little girls in a friendly manner.
"Yes, the rose, the most dazzling one." Fina said with certainty, "I've been here for half an hour and found that everyone around her was as excited as the two of them. If it weren't for the fact that Her Royal Highness is a Muggle, I really doubt she used a love potion on everyone."
"Love Potions only lead to deceit." Cedric shook his head, "And I'm pretty sure they are in love from the bottom of their hearts."
"Can you feel their feelings?"
"Of course." He smiled and looked at the jumping figure, "I can feel that she is very happy, so I am also very happy."
Fina rolled her eyes again, but she couldn't help showing a very unladylike smile when she saw the two excitedly.
The waiter in a well-tailored uniform was elegant and caring, and even opened the door for her when she was brought to the door of the reserved room, and handed her a folded printed handkerchief with a faint woody fragrance on it.
