Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

In the past, Zhu Xia would have jumped directly onto He Lianzhou, put her arms around his neck, run her fingers through his wet hair, and then blamed him for not blowing his hair dry and letting her scratch it.

When she is in a particularly good mood, she is always heartless and always blames others for her mistakes.

The wind blew Zhu Xia's smooth black hair. He Lianzhou looked at her fluttering hair, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and asked:

"Eat first, or take a shower first?"

Zhu Xia looked down at herself and felt her stomach growling. She raised her head and said, "Eat."

He Lianzhou raised his chin slightly, motioning her to follow.

Zhu Xia followed him quietly. The house was filled with art pieces placed perfectly. The corridor was covered with thick carpets that completely absorbed the sound of footsteps, so that people could walk on it without making any sound.

In the elevator, Zhu Xia's long and thick eyelashes drooped, her eyes staring at the floor buttons, in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" He Lianzhou looked at her for a long time, but she didn't even glance at him.

Zhu Xia's soul returned, he looked up at him in a daze, and after a while he said slowly: "Are you usually so flamboyant?"

He Lianzhou raised his eyebrows.

"Walking around the room in a bathrobe." Zhu Xia added, smelling the bath fragrance emanating from his body.

She remembered that the villa had a housekeeper and servants.

He Lianzhou's deep gaze slowly moved across the girl's face. Seeing her serious expression, he suddenly smiled.

"You've seen much bigger things than this before."

"..."

Can that be the same?

Zhu Xia raised his hand and touched his nose, not intending to elaborate.

The place He Lianzhou took her to was an exquisite restaurant. The table in front of the French window was already set with tableware and red wine, and there was a Steinway grand piano on the wall. The room was filled with melodious and slow light music. Zhu Xia followed the sound and found that it was a vinyl record player.

Huh?

It was just like the dream she had.

He Lianzhou pulled out a chair and caught a glimpse of Zhu Xia’s sleepy look. He put his arm around her shoulders and pushed her into the seat.

Zhu Xia looked at the Wagyu steak on the table, then raised his eyes to He Lianzhou, who slowly took out the decanter and added a little wine to each of the two wine glasses.

Zhu Xia took the wine glass, gently swirled the red liquid, and took a sip. The aroma was rich, and the taste showed the sweetness of Cabernet Sauvignon, red cherry, strawberry and rose.

"If you want to eat something else, ask them to prepare it." He Lianzhou put a plate of cut steak in front of her and said.

Zhu Xia raised her eyes, looked at his handsome face with sharp edges under the light, and uttered a single syllable from her throat: "Oh."

After coming out of the hospital in the evening and sleeping for a few hours, she now had a good appetite, so she took a knife and fork to eat.

The beef was roasted to the degree she liked it, fragrant, tender and melt-in-the-mouth.

Zhu Xia looked around. They were the only ones in the huge and spacious restaurant.

Looking back along the way, I didn't meet anyone else.

It seems that the large flats in London used to be like this.

During the period of her activities, there were almost no third persons present.

Looking out the window from the dining table, you can also see the fishing lights on the sea in the distance.

Zhu Xia chewed the delicious food, looked at the beautiful scenery, admired it for a moment, then turned his gaze back to look at the beauty sitting opposite him.

tsk...

"What are you looking at?" He Lianzhou raised his eyelids and glanced over without warning.

Their eyes suddenly met.

Zhu Xia avoided his gaze and said vaguely, "Nothing."

He Lianzhou smiled lazily, didn't ask her any more questions, just raised his glass and touched hers.

Against the backdrop of lingering light music, the clinking sounds of wine glasses seemed to drill into people's hearts, extremely vague and ambiguous.

Zhu Xia's fingers holding the fork moved slightly, and her long eyelashes like butterfly wings covered her rippling eyes.

"Are you planning to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" He Lianzhou asked casually while cutting the steak calmly.

Zhu Xia took a sip of red wine and said, "Hmm."

Zhu Xia rarely mentioned her family affairs. When they were together, she would occasionally talk about it and brush it off with a few words. He Lianzhou did not ask any further questions.

At that time, I thought they had plenty of time and one day she would take the initiative to tell him.

He Lianzhou nodded, his expression calm, and asked calmly, "How many days will you be back?"

Zhu Xia didn't say anything.

After a long while, she chewed the last piece of beef and answered slowly, "One week."

At this time, Uncle Cai stood at the door of the restaurant, knocked three times, walked over and told He Lianzhou that there was a phone call and asked him to answer it.

Although Uncle Cai looked calm, Zhu Xia could tell that the call was urgent.

He Lianzhou stood up calmly and said to her, "I'm going to take care of something. You just follow their arrangements."

Zhu Xia understood and nodded.

Soon, a middle-aged maid came over and took her to the hot spring. Zhu Xia felt sore all over, but she didn't refuse and walked to the hot spring room calmly.

The hot spring room is on the north side of the villa. It is filled with mist and has all the necessary items for hot spring bathing, such as swimsuits and bath towels, as well as fruit desserts and drinks.

Zhu Xia sighed comfortably while soaking in the warm water. Her cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed that it was Lin Jiayue.

She lay on the bank of the pool and answered the phone.

"Sumer, are you okay? I see you haven't replied to my message for a while."

Zhu Xia tapped the wall of the drink cup with her fingers and said in a pleasant voice: "It's okay, I took a nap, had a meal, and was just about to check my unread messages when your call came."

"That's good." Lin Jiayue was relieved and said depressedly, "I have to move again."

"Where are we moving to?" Zhu Xia asked.

"I don't know..." Lin Jiayue said dejectedly.

The moon moves at will, without any reason. If she must have an excuse, it's that she's tired of it.

Zhu Xia smiled helplessly: "Do you want to stay at my place for a few days first?"

"Is it okay?" Lin Jiayue asked excitedly.

"Sure. When would you like to go?"

"Now!"

Zhu Xia was silent for a second, then said, "I'm not at home now, just go ahead. Do you still remember the door lock code?"

"I remember!" After Lin Jiayue got over her excitement, she asked in surprise, "You're not at home, where are you?"

Zhu Xia paused and said calmly, "He Lianzhou's residence."

"Whose house?!"

Lin Jiayue on the other end of the phone was very shocked. Zhu Xia waited for her to digest it before speaking: "It's hard to explain for the time being. In short, it's... very complicated."

Lin Jiayue was silent for a moment, took two deep breaths, and said seriously: "Baby, I was scared by you."

Zhu Xia: "To be honest, I was also scared."

She deliberately lowered her voice when she said this, but every word still fell into the man's ears.

"Scared?"

The words "calm and indifferent" came to Zhu Xia's mind, and he looked up suddenly and saw He Lianzhou who appeared out of nowhere.

She was startled, and with a splash, her body below her chin was submerged in the water. Through the mist of water vapor, she looked into his eyes.

"What are you here for?"
