Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 189 The sky clears and the rain stops (3)

"You're here." Zhu Xia looked up at him with an excited tone.

He Lianzhou put his arms around her slender waist and lifted her down from the chair.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No." Zhu Xia stood steadily on the ground and raised her phone to show him, "I'm admiring Farah's photos."

He Lianzhou just glanced at her and his eyes fell on her face again. He took her hand and prepared to go home together.

Zhu Xia pointed to the exquisite food box on the table and motioned for him to take it.

He Lianzhou, holding a lunch box in his left hand and holding the hand of his future wife in his right hand, walked out of the Art Cafe slowly.

A multi-million dollar luxury car, Maybach, was parked on the side of the road. Today, the driver was the special assistant Chen Shao. When he saw Zhu Xia, he smiled and said, "Doctor Zhu."

Zhu Xia nodded politely: "Special Assistant Chen."

He Lianzhou helped her get into the car. Zhu Xia stood by the car and looked around. As expected, she saw a familiar car and figure.

She bent down and sat in the back seat. He closed the door, walked around the rear of the car, and got in slowly.

"You haven't eaten yet, I packed some delicious food, it's still hot."

Zhu Xia turned her head and watched He Lianzhou raise his long fingers to pull his tie, then leaned over. The leather seat was slowly laid flat, and the man pressed her down. He lowered his head and immersed himself in the scent of her neck.

The back seat was spacious enough for two adults to lie together. Zhu Xia moved her arms, hugged He Lianzhou's shoulders, and rubbed his short hair at the back of his head with her five fingers.

"Aren't you hungry?" she asked.

"Not hungry," he said.

The car was dimly lit and silent. The man on her body moved, and his hot kisses moved down from her neck to her chin, cheek, and finally to her lips.

He skillfully pried open her lips and teeth and gently bit the tip of her tongue, causing Zhu Xia's breathing to become rapid.

Suddenly she remembered something, and as their lips and tongues rubbed against each other, she asked vaguely:

"Did you visit me in Boston?"

Zhu Xia asked casually, but He Lianzhou paused for a second, pulled her up, and rubbed her slightly swollen red lips with his calloused fingertips.

"Sometimes I feel like someone is watching me. You know I have a pretty good sixth sense."

Zhu Xia reached into his suit pocket, pulled out his cell phone, and tapped the screen.

“The wallpaper is a picture of my graduation day.”

She is so smart that she already has the answers to many things in her mind, but she can still pretend nothing has happened.

He Lianzhou stared into her black and white eyes and was silent for a moment.

After being apart for five years, he knew her whereabouts clearly.

The first three years were in Boston and the last two years were in New York.

Zhu Xia's life trajectory is just a few steps back and forth, and he knows the approximate location, so it is easy for him to find her.

Have you been to see her?

The answer is definitely yes, and more than once.

I promised not to see her again, but I still couldn't help wanting to see her, even if it was just from a distance. Just to make sure she was doing well.

The first time he went to see her was in mid-December, only a month after they had separated. He arrived in Boston very late, and saw her after nine in the evening. She was sitting in the library, with two thick books stacked on her left hand, staring at the computer, her slender white fingers flexibly tapping the keyboard, very focused and serious,

At half past ten, she stretched and turned off the computer. She went to have supper with Lin Jiayue. The food was steaming hot, and her face was blurry, with a faint smile.

At half past eleven, she returned to the dormitory. He stood downstairs for a moment and prepared to leave, then saw her wrapped in a black coat and hurried out.

He kept his distance and followed quietly. She walked a long way and sat on a bench, hugging her knees, thinking about something.

It was still snowing, and the snowflakes were falling on her and all over her head, but she seemed unaware.

He Lianzhou subconsciously wanted to go forward and brush off the snowflakes for her. He took a step forward and found that Lin Jiayue walked to Zhu Xia and sat down naturally.

He suddenly came to his senses and clenched his fists.

The wound on the palm of his right hand split open again, and blood dripped onto the ground, staining the snowflakes red. But he remained calm, as if he didn't feel any pain.

The time on the watch changed from 23:59 to 00:00. He looked at her from afar, his eyelashes were covered with snow, and he could say that he had celebrated his birthday.

I am busy with official duties and don't have much time to visit her.

Like the first fall when he arrived at her school, she was still in class.

He Lianzhou was dressed modestly, wearing a baseball cap, and watched from afar as Zhu Xia and her classmates discussed the topic. The boys stared at her intently, wishing they could grow their eyes on her, and their ears turned red when she looked back.

After class, Zhu Xia packed up her things, hugged her books, and walked out of the classroom. He followed her slowly. As they walked on the street, the autumn wind blew, and maple leaves fell all over the sky.

Zhu Xia stopped to watch, looking up at the maple leaves flying in the sky, as if he had pressed the still button and did not move at all.

She was looking at the maple leaves and he was looking at her.

Not far behind her, a foreigner on an off-road bicycle was rushing towards her recklessly, and the speed was so fast that he would hit her even if he braked.

He Lianzhou picked up a stone on the ground and smashed it accurately at the bicycle chain. The bicycle suddenly got stuck and the man immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground with a few cries.

Zhu Xia bent down, picked up a maple leaf, and put it in her textbook as a specimen. She had no idea what happened next.

……

Zhu Xia put her arms around He Lianzhou's neck, looked into his dark and deep eyes, and asked softly, "If I hadn't come to Hong Kong City, would you have kept your promise and never appeared in front of me again in your life?"

"of course not."

When she returned to the capital, he had plenty of ways to make her meet him on her own initiative.

The only thing he didn't expect was that she treated him well and showed up early.

Zhu Xia suddenly remembered that it rained on the day he arrived in Gangcheng.

Lin Jiayue and Li Baize went to the international airport to pick her up. The road was blocked by rain. She rolled down the car window and glanced at the distance. She saw a wrist hanging on the back window of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The hand was perfect and beautiful, with slender fingers and cold white skin...

Zhu Xiagang admired the beauty in his heart, but the next second, he saw a flaw - a hideous scar across his palm.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she felt a dull pain.

I still remember that on the day she took him back to the He family's old house in Taipingshan for dinner, everyone was present, and he clearly said that marriage was another stage they had decided on. Apart from that, there were no other plans. When he spoke and after that, no one objected, and no one made things difficult for her... He should have given his family a heads-up in advance. Because he knew that she had not considered raising her own children.

"He Lianzhou." Zhu Xia hugged the man's neck and hooked his body down. She tilted her face and put her cheek against his warm face. "I like the word Ji."

"Ok?"

"Ji means the rain stops." Zhu Xia said softly, "Boys and girls can be given this name."

The Maybach was driving on the street, and its wheels rolled over the puddles on the road, making a "splashing" sound.

Passing through the mist of Hong Kong Island.

All separations were left behind with the heavy rain.
