Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 188 The sky clears and the rain stops (2)

The past is like a gust of wind, sometimes gentle and sometimes violent, and it will give rise to many insights when it floods into your mind.

I wish Xia not to be trapped in the past, and not to be entangled.

The human brain is always prone to hallucinations at certain times.

Just like she would occasionally feel that someone was watching her, but when she looked around, she found nothing.

In the streets of the port city, the rain is dense, the neon lights are flashing, and red taxis are shuttling in the rain. That touch of bright color is like a classic scene in a movie.

The Ding Ding car drove slowly by, raindrops hit the car window, fell on the cross of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Central that glowed softly at midnight, and floated on the silver-white Star Ferry in Tsim Sha Tsui... It blurred the world, but also added a bit of mystery.

Zhu Xia held his chin with his hands and looked out the window.

Tall buildings reach into the clouds, the sky is leaden gray, and the rain in the port city is very similar to that in the UK. It seems that only gray and red are left in the mist and drizzle. The city is bustling yet quiet.

"Let's not talk about the past." Lin Jiayue raised her glass. "After many twists and turns, we are finally in the same city. Come, let's drink to our friendship!"

"I wish you all a bright future." Zhu Xia said while raising his glass.

"You are my bosses, I will beat whoever you tell me to beat." Li Boze said a line from Young and Dangerous in Cantonese.

Zhu Xia and Lin Jiayue smiled so hard that their eyes curved.

The three of them clinked their glasses, the glasses collided, and the rippled wine was sent into the stomach, and the pleasure spread from then on.

"How are Sumer and your family member?" Lin Jiayue asked casually.

Zhu Xia thought for two seconds and said slowly, "The parents of both parties have met, and the wedding date is set for June 6st."

"So late? June is still a long time away." Lin Jiayue asked as she cut the steak with a knife and fork, "Who chose the auspicious day?"

"I chose it." Zhu Xia said, "Marriage is not reincarnation, there is no need to rush."

After a pause, she continued, "When the time comes, I'll give you the wedding invitations, so you all have to come."

"Of course!" Lin Jiayue and Li Baize said at the same time.

Speaking of which, as for the wedding, Zhu Xia only set a date, and the rest was taken care of by He Lianzhou.

She was more than happy to have a free and leisurely life.

Zhu Xia remembered that her wedding anniversary and her birthday were on the same day. At first, He Lianzhou disagreed, but she said, "Two good things happened on the same day. It's a low probability that something like this happened to you, Mr. He, just be happy."

Hearing this, the corners of his lips curled up, and he whispered in her ear: "You really are... able to bring me good luck."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

The cell phone on the dining table lit up, and the caller ID showed it was Mr. He.

"I'll take a call." Zhu Xia wiped his ten fingers with a hot towel, picked up the phone, and signaled to Lin Jiayue and Li Baize.

Lin Jiayue and Li Baize nodded and let her answer the call at will.

"It's raining." A familiar, low and pleasant voice came from the receiver.

"Well, according to the weather forecast, it will probably rain until tomorrow." Zhu Xia looked outside and saw a sudden downpour with no sign of stopping.

The man asked for the address and said slowly, "Message me when you're almost done and I'll pick you up."

"Okay." Zhu Xiaying.

After chatting for a few words, the call was hung up. Lin Jiayue sighed, "Since that person came into being, we have no chance to send Sumer home."

"Free driver, unemployed." Li Baize also pretended to be depressed and said.

Zhu Xia put his phone on the table and joked, "You can send me thousands of miles away."

"That won't work. We're thousands of miles out of the city." Lin Jiayue and Li Baize were both amused and quickly rejected her suggestion.

The three of them all had smiles on their faces and enjoyed the meal. At the end, Li Baize asked the waiter to take the bill and give dining suggestions. Lin Jiayue went to answer a call from her dad and mom, and Zhu Xia packed up a few dishes that she thought were good.

The restaurant is located on the 25th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. While taking the elevator, Zhu Xia sent a message to He Lianzhou, telling him that he could come over.

Arriving at the first floor, Li Baize returned to the fencing club. Lin Jiayue was bored, so she sat in the cafe with Zhu Xia and waited.

"What month was that person born?" Lin Jiayue suddenly asked.

Lin's father and mother have been frequently telling Yueliang's marriage fortune recently. She has listened to them so many times that she has a basic understanding of them.

"Mid-December." Zhu Xia said without hesitation.

"Mid-December..." Lin Jiayue repeated, a certain scene flashed through her mind, she raised her eyes suddenly, her pupils slightly dilated, "You used to stay up late at night, sitting on a bench by the Charles River wrapped in a coat, lighting a lighter, and blowing out the flame at midnight, wasn't it to see the lake view?!"

"The Charles River is frozen. What's there to see?" Zhu Xia said.

"I'm accompanying you in the snow and cold wind, but you're celebrating someone else's birthday." Lin Jiayue complained.

Zhu Xia suddenly became curious and asked, "What do you think I'm doing with the lighter?"

"Keep warm, or play the little match girl."

Zhu Xia was amused: "That's true."

She didn't think about anything, she just naturally lit the lighter, then blew out the flame.

As if he had lost his memory, he had erased He Lianzhou from his mind, but he did not forget to celebrate his birthday with his physical actions.

"Forget it."

Lin Jiayue fiddled with her phone for a while, then suddenly looked up, raised her eyebrows on her bright face, and said in a clear and loud voice: "You two are a perfect match."

"Didn't you say before that metaphysics is nonsense?" Zhu Xia couldn't help laughing.

"As for metaphysics, if you believe in it, it exists; if you don't believe in it, it doesn't exist. I still believe in good things."

Lin Jiayue received a new call. She answered it, frowned and said, "I'll be there right away."

Seeing her serious expression, Zhu Xia asked, "What's wrong?"

"Emergency news. I have to leave now."

Lin Jiayue took her bag and walked forward two steps, then came back and hugged Zhu Xia, "I want to sit at the main table at the wedding. I can't get caught in so much snow for nothing."

"You are the bridesmaid, so you should sit at the main table." Zhu Xia also hugged her.

"Yes."

Both of them couldn't help laughing.

After Lin Jiayue left, Zhu Xia looked into the distance.

When the neon lights light up at night, the whole city looks like a huge cyberpunk world. The neon lights in the rain are more dazzling and dreamy than usual.

The familiar song "With or without you", a song about love and waiting, was playing in the cafe.

"Through the storm we reach the shore."

(Through the storm, we reach the other side)

"You give it all but I want more."

(You gave your all, but I was unsatisfied)

"And I'm waiting for you."

(I've been waiting for you)

Zhu Xia tapped the tabletop with his left hand intermittently following the rhythm of the music, and slid the phone screen up and down with the fingertips of his right hand.

Jiang Anyu and He Chuyin posted photos of Farah. The cute little child looks adorable no matter how she is photographed.

Zhu Xia was so engrossed in admiring the photos that she didn't notice the man walking towards her with his long legs.

A shadow fell on her side, she looked up and was unexpectedly bumped into He Lianzhou's dark eyes.

It was the same day when she had the idea of ​​dating him.

The moment their eyes met, the storm stopped.

replaced by--

A timely rain in midsummer.
