Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 100 A rich man descends to earth for love

Xi Jinbai went to Binjiang Garden.

He had never been there since he separated from Sang Yu, and he asked his assistant to pack things once.

This apartment was originally reserved for Sang Yu, but she said she didn't want it.

Although no one has lived there for a long time, my aunt comes to clean it once a month to keep it clean.

When you unlock the door with your fingerprint and step into the hallway, memories of the past come flooding back.

The furnishings inside have not changed at all, they are exactly the same as when they left.

The only difference is that the familiar figure is missing.

She likes to sit on the sofa and watch TV, or sit on the carpet and draw design drafts, and tidy up the room in her free time...

Except for the study room, she can be found in almost every place in the house.

She has a strong sense of boundaries and never enters his study or disturbs his work. She is too quiet and sometimes even ignores her existence.

Xi Jinbai went upstairs and opened the master bedroom door.

Everything that belonged to her was gone, leaving only drab furniture and no trace of life.

I didn't think the room was big before, but now it feels empty.

Without the colorful and scattered girls' supplies, there seems to be a large vacancy.

The drawer of the dresser was full of jewelry, including the hairpin given to her, but she didn't take it away.

Sang Yu only took away the things she bought herself, and she always seemed to know the difference clearly.

Xi Jinbai didn't stay long before going to the hotel.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, he was busy working, and Cheng Xiang reported to him on the phone the schedule for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

A WeChat message suddenly popped up in the notification bar.

From Sang Yu: [Are you free tomorrow night? 】

Xi Jinbai was surprised that she would take the initiative to send him a message. He immediately switched to the WeChat chat box and replied to her: [You want to date me? 】

He asked this without any expectations.

Unexpectedly, Sang Yu replied: [Yeah. 】

A trace of surprise flashed across Xi Jinbai's eyes, and he asked: "Eating or watching a stage play?" 】

Sang Yu: [Let’s go shopping together. Can I choose the location? 】

Xi Jinbai: [Of course. 】

Sang Yu sent him the location.

While the phone was still talking, Cheng Xiang asked: "Mr. Xi, do you have any questions about the itinerary?"

Xi Jinbai opened his lips and said, "The banquet tomorrow night has been postponed."

"Do you have any other arrangements?"

"Private matter."

Cheng Xiang asked no more questions, "Okay."

The next day, Sang Yu went to the studio to deal with the work that had accumulated over the past few days.

Meng Qing was given a day off and she watched alone in the store.

Busy time passes quickly.

The store closed at 5pm and we took a taxi to West Street in the old city.

Arrived at 5:40, scanned the QR code, paid and got off the bus.

The sky gradually began to darken and the streets were brightly lit.

The street is not spacious, and is crowded with food stalls on both sides. This is when the night market begins, with people coming and going, amidst shouts, chatter and laughter.

Sang Yu stood at the street entrance, feeling the lively and bustling atmosphere.

The shouts from the loudspeakers kept coming, and the aroma of various delicacies floated in the air.

The appointment was for six o'clock, and she arrived early.

An old man carrying candied haws on his back passed by, and Sang Yu went over to buy a bunch.

The red hawthorns are wrapped in crystal clear sugar coating and have an attractive luster.

Sang Yu took a bite. It was moderately sweet and sour, and it still tasted the same as in his memory.

When Xi Jinbai arrived, he saw her standing on the roadside eating candied haws, her soft eyebrows spread out, her little mouth opening and closing while chewing, and her facial features and expressions were vivid under the orange light.

Full of fireworks.

Xi Jinbai accidentally took out his mobile phone and took a picture. She just filled her mouth with her cheeks bulging, like a cute little guinea pig. Putting away his phone, he strode over and said with a raised lip, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Sang Yu shook his head, swallowed the candied haws in his mouth, and said, "No, just for a while."

When there was a little sugar on the corner of her mouth, Xi Jinbai reached out to wipe it off for her. His warm fingertips gently rubbed against the skin, and his movements were natural.

Sang Yu paused and before he could react, he heard him ask again: "Do you like to eat candied haws?"

She hesitated for two seconds before answering: "Well, when I was a kid, eating it would make me happy all day long."

Xi Jinbai chuckled, "It's easy to be satisfied."

"Let's go." Sang Yu turned around and walked into the downtown area. "There are a lot of delicious food here. I guess you haven't tried it before."

Xi Jinbai followed her and said, "I recommend it."

The street market is dazzling with a variety of shops and stalls, and business is booming.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians all around, crowded and crowded.

Xi Jinbai didn't like crowded and noisy places, but with Sang Yu around, it didn't feel so unbearable.

The stall selling Chezi noodles was crowded with people. Sang Yu turned his head and asked Xi Jinbai, "Chezi noodles are delicious. Do you want to try them?"

"Ah."

"Then let's get in line."

Xi Jinbai took advantage of the situation and held her wrist, "There are many people, don't get separated."

Sang Yu glanced down, saying nothing or refusing.

Xi Jinbai wore a bottoming white shirt and a brown windbreaker today. His superior body proportions and outstanding appearance made him particularly eye-catching among the crowd.

Of course it is incompatible with this down-to-earth environment.

There were many girls nearby who were whispering excitedly and discussing in low voices with their companions.

"Look, look, there's a handsome guy on your right! He's more handsome than a celebrity!"

"Damn it, the male protagonist of a Korean drama! What a classy face!"

"The one next to him should be his girlfriend, right?"

"Holding hands, for sure!"

"Sure enough, all the handsome guys belong to other people's families."

"His girlfriend is also super pretty! She looks great even without makeup! A perfect match!"

"Does it look like a rich man descending to earth for love? I have already written a million-word novel in my mind..."

After waiting for six or seven minutes, Sang Yu and Xi Jinbai arrived in line.

The landlady smiled and said, "See what ingredients you want to add."

Sang Yu said without thinking: "Ramen with curry fish balls, radish and mushrooms, and add chili."

The landlady nodded, "Okay, where is your boyfriend?"

Sang Yu originally wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he felt it was unnecessary. He held hands and said that they were not a couple and that others should look at them strangely.

She looked up at Xi Jinbai, "Please order."

Xi Jinbai raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Let's eat one portion and save some in our stomach to try something else."

Sang Yu reminded: "Mine is spicy."

Xi Jinbai: "It doesn't matter, I don't eat a lot."

Sang Yu said to the landlady: "Then just have one."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Xi Jinbai took out his mobile phone to pay.

After buying the noodles, Sang Yu came out of the crowd. He took off his chopsticks, mixed the ingredients and noodles evenly, and handed them to him, "You try it first, and I'll buy a drink."

Xi Jinbai pulled her and said, "I'll go, what do you want to drink?"

Sang Yu looked around, "Hong Kong-style milk tea, choose one with a small family."

There are too many people and queuing is a waste of time.

Xi Jinbai asked: "The lack of people means it doesn't taste good?"

"Theoretically, that's the case, but every Hong Kong-style milk tea is the same. I've tasted them all."

"Then wait for me and I'll buy it."
