Beijing-Hong Kong Confession

Chapter 9 How are you, He Lianzhou

Those who do evil are most afraid of death. In addition, He Lianzhou killed two of them, so they were terrified and said in fear that they would leave.

After kicking away the five men with ill intentions, Zhu Xia locked the door and let out a long sigh.

She walked in and sat on the chair opposite He Lianzhou, and found that he had finished five glasses of wine.

He Lianzhou raised his eyelids slightly and looked at her through the dim light, as if he didn't understand why she, who was quite normal in her mind, could let a stranger like him stay in the same room with her.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" He spoke in Chinese, his voice as cold as snow on a frosty day.

Zhu Xia glanced at the empty wine glass and asked calmly, "Are you a bad person?"

He Lianzhou pulled the corner of his lip in an ambiguous manner.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, in clumps and clusters like countless torn cotton balls, and the whole city was covered in silver.

It seemed that a sudden snowfall had trapped them here.

She said, "I bet you're not."

It's not a guess, it's a gamble.

Buried is the determination to go all out.

There was no shyness in her eyes as she looked at him. They were frank, honest, and clear, like a burning flame.

He Lianzhou looked at her quietly. His pupils were extremely dark, as deep as a cold pond, and the arc at the end of his eyes was cold and sharp, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

Their eyes met, and everything around them fell silent.

Zhu Xia was insensitive and completely ignored his gaze. She took out a small iron box from her pocket, which contained chocolates, and placed it on the table between them.

"Please."

"I don't eat this."

Zhu Xia was confused. He didn’t eat chocolate, so why did he buy it last time?

He Lianzhou understood her thoughts and said lightly, "For others."

"girlfriend?"

Zhu Xia subconsciously thought of the Mary Sue story in her mind: a girl wanted to eat chocolate, and her boyfriend ran all over the streets and alleys just to find a piece of chocolate.

He Lianzhou's eyes swept across her face.

Zhu Xia said "Oh".

"I didn't say anything, what are you saying?"

"You probably don't have a girlfriend." Zhu Xia's eyes were clear and his tone was firm, "At least not yet."

He Lianzhou leaned back in his chair, his lips curled up nonchalantly, "Bet?"

Zhu Xia opened a chocolate and put it in his mouth. The chocolate was smooth and silky on the tip of his tongue, and the rich milky aroma spread out, with a hint of bitterness in the sweetness.

She didn't answer, but asked casually: "Then will you let me win?"

He Lianzhou showed no emotion. He stood up slowly, put the banknotes on the table with his slender fingers, and asked her before leaving: "What's your name?"

"Sumer, summer without the m."

"Chinese name."

"Zhu Xia. Zhu for congratulations, Xia for summer."

Zhu Xia looked outside. The heavy snow was gradually disappearing, and all he could see was a vast expanse of white. The crisis was officially over, just like the frost and snow on the streets.

She turned her head to look at the cold and tall figure and asked crisply, "What's your name?"

He Lianzhou didn't even turn his head. He raised his hand with his back to him and said calmly, "We'll talk about it next time we meet."

Later, when Zhu Xia learned He Lianzhou's name, she had not seen him.

At that time, he ordered a glass of whiskey as usual, and played with the glass with his fingers that were clearly knuckled. Men and women in the bar were flirting with each other, but he was the only one sitting alone, with a unique sense of alienation.

Zhu Xia was reading a long reading list with headphones on, playing soothing music. She lowered her head and took notes while reading.

The bar's decoration is a mixture of Chinese and Western styles, with Eastern mystery and Western romance lingering in the air.

I don’t know how long it was before Zhu Xia took off his headphones, stretched, and while moving his neck, he caught a glimpse of the note and pen under the empty glass.

The note was hers, and the pen was hers too, but the beautiful handwriting with its vigorous and sharp strokes was not hers.

Zhu Xia took out the note, took a closer look at it, and finally saw clearly what was written on it.

——He Lianzhou.

She looked around for anyone, but to no avail. She turned to ask You Feng, who was leaning against the bar:

"Madman, did you see the person who left this?"

You Feng glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "I didn't notice."

Zhu Xia put the note into the book.

You Feng started mixing drinks and said leisurely, "There are at least two essays in one course, interspersed with countless seminars and group discussions. Do you have any special hobbies that allow you to study in such a noisy environment?"

There was obvious arrogance and sarcasm in his tone.

Zhu Xia was used to it, so he responded calmly: "I'll keep an eye on you to prevent you from cooking the books."

"The girl is young, but she's acting very arrogantly." You Feng held the bottle close to the glass, poured half a glass of wine and handed it to her, "It has a minty scent."

Zhu Xia stared at the green liquid in the wine glass, her nostrils filled with a refreshing and comfortable smell, her brows relaxed:

"Whether you can be a leader or not depends not on your age but on your ability."

You Feng had a cynical smile on his face, "I can't argue with you."

After that, he asked again: "Do you know He Lianzhou?"

"Huh? Do you know him?"

"The old man is a diplomat, so it's not surprising that he knows He Lianzhou."

Zhu Xia showed some interest, "From what I heard, his background is not simple?"

You Feng said lazily: "The old man is a person who gives way to others. What do you think?"

She looked thoughtful and asked, "What do you think of him?"

"Cold and indifferent, not easy to mess with." You Feng stood with his arms folded in a relaxed posture. He measured Zhu Xia's expression and said word by word, "He is cruel and merciless."

She nodded calmly: "Difficult to approach and unpredictable."

……

Seven years have passed since we first met.

Two years in London, five years apart.

Unlike other couples who break up and rehearse in their minds what it would be like to see their ex again, Zhu Xia never thought about seeing He Lianzhou again.

Now that they meet unexpectedly in the hospital, she realizes the wonder of fate.

I hope you are well, He Lianzhou.

"Blessings, Doctor!"

Xiao Jiyan saw Zhu Xia standing in front of the window and called her.

I wish Xia Ran would come back to his senses.

Xiao Jiyan urged her: "Go, go, go! I'm starving, let's go eat!"

The restaurant at Hong Kong Yan Hospital is very spacious, with a high suspended ceiling, clear and reasonable functional areas, and beautiful and warm decoration.

They ordered the snow crab stick udon, which came with fried eggs with sausage and small slices of toast, a small box of butter, and the highlight, the crab stick udon; the curry seafood baked rice contained something like large mussels in shells, and the sauce was rich and evenly coated every grain of rice.

As soon as they sat down, Su Weiwen saw them coming over.

"Sumer, I left your stuff at my place."

Su Weiwen took out a blue crystal cufflink in the shape of a tiger claw from her pocket and placed it on the table with a tissue.

Zhu Xia glanced at it and said, "It's not mine."

"Isn't it?" Su Weiwen rolled up the Napoleon pasta with a fork, "The nurse said you used that ward."

Xiao Jiyan wiped his fingers, picked up the cufflink, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a moment, and said: "This cufflink is inlaid with very fine diamonds, and the inlay is amazing. It looks very valuable."

"Yeah." Su Weiwen lowered her head to eat while recounting, "Customized top luxury brands, with letters and codes, in pairs of cufflinks. This one has the initials ZX engraved on it, and the other one should have the code engraved on it."

Xiao Jiyan suddenly realized: "ZX, isn't that Zhu Xia?"

Su Weiwen also looked at Zhu Xia, "That's why I thought it was yours."

Zhu Xia took the button from Xiao Jiyan and took a closer look. It was obviously a men's cufflink...

She suddenly thought of a possibility.
