Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

"Let's take a hot spring bath together." He said calmly.

Zhu Xia soaked in the warm water, her pupils filled with mist, and she stared at the calm and cold man on the shore without blinking.

"Just kidding." He Lianzhou half-knelt down, stretched out his arms, and gently pinched her chin with his slender fingers, "Don't be nervous, you still have clothes on."

Zhu Xia knew, of course, that she was wearing a swimsuit, but this thin garment clung to her body, perfectly outlining her curves.

Her eyes first fell on his sharp Adam's apple, then slowly moved upwards, meeting his burning gaze and saying:

“But you’re not wearing anything underneath.”

"Did you see it?" He Lianzhou narrowed his eyes, his voice sounding casual.

He pinched her chin with his fingers and scratched it gently, which was a little itchy.

Zhu Xia resisted the urge to itch, looked at his expression, and said:

"I bet. Do you want me to win?"

I bet on it.

Do you want to take it off for me to see?

The mist was thick, lingering around the two of them. Zhu Xia noticed that the man's fingertips pinching her chin stiffened for a moment.

He Lianzhou's dark and deep pupils reflected Zhu Xia's calm appearance, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

This is her most original background.

With the clearest eyes and the most innocent tone, he spoke desperate words.

He Lianzhou retracted his force with his fingers, stared at Zhu Xia with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "If you win, can you bear the consequences?"

He squeezed her chin a little, forcing her to look up at him.

Zhu Xia also understood the hidden meaning in He Lianzhou's words.

Take off your bathrobe, do you want to do it?

If I were with him, would I run away?

The hot spring room was brightly lit, and their eyes met, taking in every detail of each other's changing expressions.

He Lianzhou saw the answer given to him by Zhu Xiaying's bright eyes.

She said, no.

Her eyes were so determined, just like when she broke up with him.

There is no room for negotiation and it is imperative to win.

Over the past five years, he often recalled this look and reflected on what he had done wrong to make her so disgusted that she was willing to sacrifice her life to get rid of him.

If he could accept that she didn't love him, why couldn't she continue to stay with him?

Zhu Xia frowned, but before she could say anything, He Lianzhou had already let go of her hand and touched her forehead with his watery fingertips.

"Happy summer."

"What are you doing?"

"I'll make you comfortable."

The man's voice was low and pleasant. Zhu Xia looked at him in surprise.

The culprit left after leaving these suggestive words.

Zhu Xia gently patted her slightly hot cheeks with her palms...she had been soaking in the hot spring for too long.

Wait, where's her phone?

Zhu Xia tilted his head and searched around, and found the mobile phone that had fallen on the corner of the small wooden table.

Just now she hung up the phone in a hurry, threw away her phone, and jumped into the water.

I don't know what the moon is like.

Zhu Xia opened the social software and saw the pinned message.

Lin Jiayue: "OMG! That man's voice is He Lianzhou, right?"

Lin Jiayue: "If you hang up now, will it take you a long time to get back to me?"

Lin Jiayue: "There are thousands of roads, but the first rule when driving is safety!"

Lin Jiayue: "This is your birthday, is it time to put the lace underwear I gave you to use?"

Lin Jiayue: "Yeah, yeah."

Zhu Xia: “…”

After browsing through the message, Zhu Xia gave up typing a reply and just made the call.

Lin Jiayue answered the call quickly. She hummed in confusion and whispered, "Is the time so short?"

"Is it short? I think it's very long." Zhu Xia said without changing his expression.

"Isn't that short? It seems you haven't had good food. I'll introduce you to a man with excellent time and space some other day."

She knows time, but what is space?

"Space?" Zhu Xia was puzzled.

"It's that size. Three-dimensional space." Lin Jiayue answered.

Okay, she got it.

When Zhu Xia came out of the hot spring, a smart maid came over and put a bath towel on her. Zhu Xia thanked her and said to Lin Jiayue as she walked, wrapped in the bath towel:

"During that time, our hands didn't even touch."

"He didn't touch it just now, but did he touch it before?" Lin Jiayue thought divergently.

"Never mind whether it's touched or not. I'm inviting He Lianzhou to dinner tomorrow. Do you have any restaurant recommendations?"

"Tomorrow night? How about the three-star Michelin restaurant? I've made a reservation there."

"Aren't you going?" Zhu Xia asked.

"I wanted to go with you, but we both have appointments." Lin Jiayue said, "We can only go next time."

Zhu Xia smiled: "Then wait for me to come back."

Lin Jiayue was silent for a moment and asked, "Sumer, you really don't consider it?"

Zhu Xia paused.

Jokes aside, Lin Jiayue and Zhu Xia have known each other for so many years, and they can be considered close friends. They both understand each other's bottom line.

Lin Jiayue said: "I support you."

"Moon." Zhu Xia called her.

"here I am."

"It's getting late, time to go to bed." Zhu Xia said with a smile, "Good night, moon."

"Saturday is Friday plus!" Lin Jiayue once again shouted the familiar slogan, "See you at the fencing club tomorrow."

"OK, see you there."

Zhu Xia hung up the phone, and flight information popped up on her phone, reminding her to travel.

No one is always awake. It's just that some people are more lost, and some are less lost.

She could see her end.

And at that end, there was no He Lianzhou.

He was just a sight that she had the good fortune to see when she was young and willful and took the wrong path.

Zhu Xia couldn't help but recall He Lianzhou's words "I regret it" in the car, and the corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

She never regretted it.

Even if I'm joking, I can't say the words "I regret it".

Zhu Xia did not treat herself badly. Even if she was forced to enter the house, she could live there relaxedly.

After taking a shower in the shower, she wrapped herself in a clean bathrobe and opened the bathroom door. There was a small cart next to the door, with clothes and some other things prepared for her hanging on it.

The shelves on the cart were mostly filled with pajamas and nightgowns, with a wide range of styles, from underwear to shawls and coats. She casually picked up a long pair of pajamas and nightgowns.

Blow dry your hair and change out of your bathrobe.

The room was empty, with only her in it.

Zhu Xia knew without hesitation that this was the room where He Lianzhou usually lived.

She didn't go to bed. Instead, she hugged the soft and comfortable blanket, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, lay on the sofa, and looked sideways at the quiet outside the window.

Maybe because he had had a good sleep, Zhu Xia was not sleepy at the moment.

Feeling thirsty, she stood up and glanced at the intercom - she could call the intercom if necessary.

After thinking about it, she didn't call, but walked out the door and along the corridor to the beverage room.

The beverage room is decorated like a high-end bar, with a wide variety of rare and expensive wines on the wall shelves and various wine glasses hanging on the sides.

Zhu Xia was suddenly stunned.

The man's tall figure had his back to her. He was talking on the phone in one hand and had the other hand at his side, tapping the glass lightly with his long fingers.
