Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

The waiter pushed the cart with the dishes, and the table was full of delicious food.

The two of them satisfied their appetite while talking about business.

Li Baize handed the file bag to Zhu Xia.

"Here is the list of Taoist fortune-tellers who stayed at the Wong Tai Sin Temple eighteen years ago. There are five of them whose family backgrounds are related to the capital."

The lights in the restaurant were bright. Zhu Xia opened the leather seal and looked at the black words on the white paper.

The Wong Tai Sin Temple is located on the Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong. Wong Tai Sin, also known as the Red Pine Fairy, is widely known for his medical practice and saving lives.

Back then, the Taoist priest who told her and Song Chengyu's fortunes was from the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong.

According to Chairman Song, the fortune teller happened to return to Beijing to visit relatives.

All coincidences are destined.

As fate would have it, the fortune teller rescued Song Chengyu.

The words "Zhu Xia can protect Song Chengyu from disaster and difficulties" easily changed the lives of two people.

Zhu Xia studies medicine and is a scientist.

Rather than fate, she would rather believe that this was a premeditated plan.

Li Baize poured red wine for Zhu Xia, and he stretched out his arm to place the glass next to her left hand.

"Among these five people, there is one you can contact first. He is the owner of EVG Club, Zheng Tianyou."

The smooth, mirror-like glass window reflected Zhu Xia's graceful profile.

She lowered her eyelashes and read for a moment, then nodded: "I'll go and have a look some other day."

Li Baize chewed the lobster from the Typhoon Shelter and swallowed it. He looked up at Zhu Xia, his eyes moving around her cheeks.

"Do you know that man just now?"

The fleeting eye contact between Zhu Xia and He Lianzhou did not escape Li Baize's sharp eyes.

Zhu Xia said calmly, "Ex-boyfriend."

Li Baize couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He knew that Zhu Xia was from the capital, was knowledgeable and capable, had a good personality and was low-key, but other than that he knew nothing about him.

"So that's why. No wonder you speak such standard Cantonese." Li Baize suddenly realized.

Zhu Xia smiled and said, "Yes."

Li Baize was not stupid. He saw that she didn't want to talk about it, so he stopped talking.

Zhu Xia didn't quite understand some of the contents in the document, so he discussed them one by one with Li Baize.

After finishing the meal and talking about business, Li Baize looked at her and said, "I drove here. Do you want me to take you there?"

"No thanks." Zhu Xia closed the file bag, "I have something else to do."

After many contacts, Li Baize knew that she had an invisible sense of distance that could not be overcome.

He nodded, "I'll contact you when I find new information."

"Okay, thank you."

After Li Baize left, Zhu Xia opened WeChat and saw that Song Chengyu had sent her a message.

They were basically greetings about her daily life. She replied to them one by one, then opened WhatsApp to reply to Lin Jiayue's daily good morning, good afternoon and good night.

Clearing the unread messages, Zhu Xia’s fingertips rested on the strange message.

"I've brought you here before."

One word less than what she said at the beginning, 'He Lianzhou, let's break up'.

The first sentence brings back memories, and the second sentence cuts off the past.

Zhu Xia did not lie.

She and He Lianzhou had never been open with each other, nor had they ever talked all night.

But he took her to many places and tried to introduce her to his family and friends.

I didn't notice anything when we were together, but now when I think back, I find that she was like the banshee in the Spider Cave, devouring his looks and robbing his thoughts.

Those throbbing emotions abandoned in utopia were not pure from the beginning.

Recalling this, Zhu Xia shuddered in the restaurant's abundant air conditioning.

Every now and then, a new message pops up on WhatsApp.

Lin Jiayue: "When will you come to my house?"

Zhu Xia curled her lips slightly and typed a reply slowly: "After you move."

Every time Lin Jiayue moved to a new residence, she would ask Zhu Xia to go to the greenhouse.

According to incomplete statistics, Zhu Xia warmed the room three times in two months.

Lin Jiayue changed her residence too frequently, and Zhu Xia, who was in her twenties and sixties, really couldn't bear it.

Zhu Xia clicked on the message without a beginning or an end again, and the editor replied.

"Your coat is still with me. When can I return it to you?"

Both messages were unsigned.

They tacitly assumed that the other party could understand who sent the message.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement on the chat page.

Zhu Xia's dark eyes reflected He Lianzhou's message, and his thoughts were vague.

She thought, what if she told Lin Jiayue.

Moon, a seasoned lover, will definitely do some reading comprehension:

I once brought you to a place where now you bring someone else.

Zhu Xia looked out the window. It was still early, so she picked up her bag and left the Chinese restaurant.

The city is bustling with traffic, and the sea breeze from Victoria Harbour blows all the way from Nathan Road to Tsim Sha Tsui and refuses to stop.

Zhu Xia bought two books, came out of the bookstore and walked on the street.

A business Maybach slowly stopped by the roadside.

There are many jet-black cars, but very few with Hong Kong license plates without prefixes.

Sure enough, the back window rolled down and that impeccable face appeared in the field of vision.

He Lianzhou raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Zhu Xia under the street light.

She didn't tie her hair up today, her black hair fell softly on her shoulders. She wore a narrow, straight dark purple A-line skirt and a simple shirt on top.

The colorful lights of the city at night are reflected on her, giving her a unique charm.

The man's gaze lingered for a little too long.

Zhu Xia stopped dodging and took the initiative to walk to the side of the car, tilting her head to meet his silent and cold black eyes.

"what happened?"

He Lianzhou's eyes swept across the ring necklace on her neck, and moved up to her beautiful eyes.

"Where to go."

"Not going anywhere."

Zhu Xia paused, his obsidian eyes rolled, and continued, "How can I return your coat?"

He Lianzhou raised his chin slightly, motioning her to come closer.

Zhu Xia thought he didn't hear clearly, so she moved closer. A few strands of soft hair fluttered lightly, and along with the faint fragrance from her body, were carried into the car by the breeze.

She repeated: "Your coat is still with me."

Even though they hadn't had a very pleasant argument, he did help her.

Zhu Xia is clear about gratitude and grudges, and she doesn't mind spending time and money to return the clothes.

He Lianzhou said in a deep voice: "I'll ask someone to get it some other day."

"Oh ok, bye then."

Zhu Xia quickly stood up and continued walking forward.

The sound of an engine was heard from behind, and the Maybach drove past her and gradually moved away.

Zhu Xia had just breathed a sigh of relief when his cell phone suddenly rang.

She was inexplicably frightened.

The number was not unfamiliar, as she had sent him a message an hour ago.

The voice on the other end of the phone was low and mellow, but it still made people nervous even through the cold phone.

His tone was calm, and his cold voice revealed a familiar nonchalance.

"Do you know who I am."

A familiar conversation.

Zhu Xia lowered his head and stared at his shoes. After several seconds, he said "hmm" slowly.

"What are you planning to save?"

Save his cell phone number and plan to add a nickname to it.

Zhu Xia knew his intention, he just wanted her to say those three words.

She pursed her lips and remained silent.

The man seemed patient, waiting for her answer.

long silence.

Zhu Xia opened her red lips and uttered three touching words: "He Lianzhou."
