Epilogue 1: Honeymoon in Lima
The light gray misty rain enveloped the entire city of Lima early in the morning. It accompanied the fluttering sound of the cathedral bell. Together with the deep purple sky, it covered this city with a gorgeous and elegant outer clothing.
As the world famous 'No rain city', rain fell unexpectedly in Lima today. Although it was only a drizzle, it was still a strange occurrence.
He feared several of his neighbors' houses built with cardboard will suffer tonight. While thinking about that, Gouvinho tightened the cloak around his body. Looking at the empty military public square, he heaved a sigh softly because he was afraid that business will be less today.
Praying in a low voice and making the sign of the cross, he has no choice but to wait. A woman hurriedly ran across the public square caught his attention.
Holding onto a glimmer of hope, Gouvinho exerted himself to tout in a loud voice: "Fresh lamb meat, as well as hot deep-fried fish!"
The unexpected sound of his voice obviously startled her. An Ning halted her footsteps and looked over hesitantly.
Her pitch-black hair and eyes clearly indicated to Gouvinho that she is not a Westerner. He was a bit anxious because he can only speak Spanish. Will she be able to understand?
Nowadays there are more Asian tourists travelling to Peru, mainly from China, Japan and South Korea. He can speak a little Mandarin, but he was uncertain whether she was from China. Never mind, just take a chance.
Thus Gouvinho used some awkward Mandarin pronunciation to call out to her: "Hello!"
She froze for a moment. Then she tilted her head slightly and gave a shallow smile. He watched her walking to his stall and was trying to use unfluent Spanish to smilingly say to him, "Hello". Suddenly Gouvinho felt the gloomy mood of the past few days became a lot more relaxed instantly because of that bright smile.
He looked eagerly attentive and expectedly at her, "Want anything?"
She seemed embarrassed —— could see that she did not intend to buy anything. She only hesitated for a moment, smiled and nodded, "Three servings of fish and three servings of lamb meat, thank you."
Smiling gratefully at her, Gouvinho deftly began to deep fry the fish, while chatting with her, "Normally, it never rains in Lima. I wonder why rain fell unexpectedly today. No rain gear is available for sale here, so causing you some inconvenience?"
Lightly brushed away the wet hairs on her forehead, this woman's complexion was fairer than the Asians who he normally encountered. The dim street light fell on her face, casting a light purple shadow. She raised her head and looked up at the dark sky. Lowering back her head, she still has that gentle smile, "It doesn't matter."
