Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

He changed into black silk pajamas. His tall and straight figure looked dignified and casual, with an air of lazy indifference.

The rain suddenly came at night, and a flash of lightning struck outside the window, instantly lighting up the dim wine room.

At this moment, He Lianzhou turned around and accurately captured the fleeting confusion in Zhu Xia's eyes.

He hung up the phone after a few words, strode towards her, looked her up and down, and asked, "Can't sleep?"

"I'm a little thirsty." Zhu Xia's palms were sweating. She calmly hid her hands behind her back and wiped off the sweat.

He Lianzhou's gaze stayed on Zhu Xia's face for two seconds. He reached out and grasped her wrist, then pulled her to the counter.

"Sit down."

Zhu Xia sat on the high stool for a while, and He Lianzhou handed her a cup of warm water.

Zhu Xia was really thirsty, so she held the water cup and drank most of it. Her palms pressed against the slightly cool glass, and the damp heat dissipated. She looked at He Lianzhou and said softly, "Thank you."

"Can't sleep?" he asked again.

The man is tall and has long legs. He sits on a high stool, with his pajamas wrapped around his tight and strong long legs, casually placed, which is particularly eye-catching.

Zhu Xia lowered her eyes, glanced at him, then raised her eyelids and watched his cold, white hands pick up the wine bottle and add wine to the glass.

After a long while, she finally answered, "I took a nap in the evening, so I'm not very sleepy now."

Zhu Xia sniffed and smelled a lingering scent of agarwood from him, and asked, "Were you smoking just now?"

He Lianzhou glanced at her sideways, remembering the way she bit a cigarette between her red lips at the entrance of the corridor last time.

"Want to try?"

Zhu Xia shook her head: "Smoking is bad for your health, you should smoke less."

He Lianzhou's eyes suddenly fixed on her face, "Why do you care about me?"

His tone was light and extremely calm, with almost no emotional fluctuations.

Zhu Xia tilted her head to meet He Lianzhou's unfathomable black eyes, feeling a little awkward for some reason. She placed her hands on the cold island counter, resting her cheek against her arm, avoiding his gaze.

"No. I'll tell you and you can just listen."

The girl lay on her stomach, turning the water cup deftly with her fingers, her eyes fixed on the subtle rippling of liquid in the cup.

Lightning and thunderstorms followed one after another, and the room was sometimes bright as day and sometimes dark as the abyss.

There was silence.

He Lianzhou bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the wall of the wine glass. The rhythmic sound produced was like the beating of a pulse, again and again.

Zhu Xia found the music pleasant to the ears. She tilted her head to look at the glass in his hand. The wine was like quiet ocean waves, floating slightly with his movements.

She somehow recalled a day when they were together, when he was on a short business trip and Bella was not yet born. She was so bored in the large apartment that she made cocktails at home.

As a result, he drank too much and fell asleep on the carpet in front of the coffee table.

He came back early and saw her sleeping on the floor, so he wanted to carry her to the bed.

What about her?

She waved her arms and told him angrily not to touch her... He probably didn't expect that she would attack indiscriminately when she was drunk. He must have been stunned when he was caught off guard.

That was also the first time she knew she would hit someone when she was drunk.

Zhu Xia raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"When are you going back?" he suddenly asked.

Zhu Xia tilted her head again, looked at his sharp jawline, blinked, and then said, "The day after tomorrow."

He Lianzhou was not completely ignorant of Zhu Xia's family situation.

She told him that both her parents had passed away and that she grew up in the capital city and liked to watch the sunrise and sunset from the corner tower.

He knew other things, but didn't delve into them.

Because she will be unhappy.

It's easy to make this girl happy.

But it is very difficult to make her happy.

Zhu Xia was in a good mood at the moment, and her words were full of joy: "How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow?"

In all the years they knew each other, she seemed to have never invited him to dinner.

"Farewell dinner?" He Lianzhou couldn't bear to ruin her good mood, so he asked in a calm voice.

"No." Zhu Xia's obsidian eyes rolled slightly, "I just want to treat you to a meal."

During the two seconds that He Lianzhou was staring at her quietly, Zhu Xia looked at his figure shrouded in a faint halo, and suddenly she was worried that her proposal would be rejected by him... The moon was not free, and if he didn't go, wouldn't she have to go to the restaurant to eat alone?

She still wanted to go out for a meal before leaving.

He Lianzhou stretched out his arm to take the wine glass that was upside down on the plate rack, added a little wine into it, and handed it back to Zhu Xia.

Zhu Xia took it and sniffed it gently. The rich aroma of wine was refreshing.

"Are you free tomorrow night?" She remembered that he was a very busy man with a lot of things to do.

"No."

A hint of hidden loss flashed across Zhu Xia's eyes. She was ready to go back, so she raised her glass and drank the whiskey in it.

I put down my glass, and his voice rang in my ears again: "I have a date with my ex-girlfriend tomorrow."

Ex-girlfriend?

Has he been with anyone else in the past five years?

Zhu Xia turned to look at He Lianzhou, her pupils reflecting his angular profile.

I can’t describe the feeling in my heart, it’s very complicated.

It seemed that everything related to this man was complicated, difficult to describe and explain.

It was raining heavily outside, and the whole city seemed to be covered with a veil, and everything was blurred.

The rain hit the bright window in a disorderly manner, and the water droplets slid to a lower position due to gravity, forming water marks of irregular patterns.

The law of increasing entropy states that all things will inevitably and spontaneously change from an orderly state to a chaotic state.

I don’t know if it was the effect of the alcohol, but Zhu Xiadao felt a little dizzy and his thoughts started to become confused.

She said "Oh" and stood on the ground: "Then I wish you and your ex-girlfriend a good night. I won't disturb you. I'm going back to sleep."

"Happy summer."

"what?"

When He Lianzhou saw her turn around, the corners of his lips curled up nonchalantly, and he slowly opened his mouth: "Aren't you wishing you and me a wonderful night?"

"Ok?"

The wine was too strong and Zhu Xia was unable to react for a while.

He Lianzhou stood up slowly, took two steps with his long legs, stood in front of her, bent down slightly, and his hot breath fanned her cheek.

"only you."

Zhu Xia's gaze slowly moved from the wine glass in his hand to his face.

He Lianzhou tilted his head, his thin lips touched her warm earlobe, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to have sex with me?"

"Tonight, I don't want you to be responsible."

Zhu Xia's head exploded. Her eyelashes trembled, and she took a small step back to avoid his touch: "You are drunk... We are all drunk..."

He Lianzhou looked at Zhu Xia's fair face flushed with red, raised his hand, grabbed her slender wrist, and pulled her back to his chest.

"What are you hiding from?"

His strength was so strong that he seemed to crush her. Zhu Xia felt pain in her wrist bones and frowned: "You hurt me."

He Lianzhou let go immediately. Zhu Xia felt relieved. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, her waist suddenly tightened and he picked her up and pressed her against the glass wall of the island counter.

Before she could come to her senses, he bit her lips.
