Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 68 Saw her hugging someone else

Sang Yu also recalled her time in high school. At that time, she just wanted to study hard and rarely paid attention to people or things other than studying. Furthermore, she already had someone in her heart, let alone thinking about other things.

It turns out that the details that he ignored are the things he likes that he can't express.

"You are kind, gentle, tenacious, sincere... I think you are worthy of all the beautiful adjectives in this world. Today I want to formally say to you, classmate Sang Yu, I have liked you for a long time, from high school to now, from now on. I haven’t given up. I am better now than before, and I have the ability to take care of you and protect you, so..." Xu Linzhou took a breath and asked, "Can you give me a chance?"

Sang Yu was lost for a moment, his eyes slightly red.

Xu Linzhou was so nervous that his palms were sweating, "Did I scare you?"

Sang Yu blinked his dry eyes slowly, "It's a bit, I never thought about it..."

He will love himself for so many years.

Because she has also experienced secret love, she understands the sadness and pain of silently falling in love with someone.

"I... thank you very much for liking me. In fact, I am also very ordinary. It is your liking that makes me look perfect in your eyes." Sang Yu said seriously: "But, I'm sorry, I have always been You are a good friend, you are good, you were good before, you are better now, you deserve someone who loves you very much."

Xu Linzhou narrowed his eyes, feeling disappointed.

Sang Yu lowered his head, "I'm sorry."

Xu Linzhou pretended to smile lightly, "What are you saying I'm sorry for? It's not your fault. I have the right to like you, and you also have the right to reject me."

I just feel sorry that I couldn't do it after all.

"Then...can we still be friends in the future?"

Sang Yu looked at him and nodded, "Of course, lifelong friends."

Xu Linzhou suppressed the bitterness that welled up in his chest, raised his lips and smiled: "Okay, I will let it go. Don't feel any psychological burden on you. I also wish you can find someone you like in the future, and everything goes well in your relationship and career."

Sang Yu curled up his lips, "Thank you, you too, everything goes well."

Xu Linzhou hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Can I hug you? I want to hug the person I like for my high school self."

Sang Yu agreed without hesitation, "Of course."

Xu Linzhou opened his hands, and Sang Yu took the initiative to step forward and hug him.

Through the thin clothes, they can definitely feel each other's body temperature.

Xu Linzhou didn't exert any force, he hugged her like a gentleman for a few seconds and then let go, "I got it, thank you."

Finally, I was brave for once, and it finally brought an end to this secret love.

Sang Yu took a step back, "Well, goodbye."

Xu Linzhou nodded, "Well, goodbye."

Sang Yu waved to him, then turned and walked towards the corridor.

There was still a slight feeling of being touched in her heart, and she thought of her secret love.

Sure enough, feelings are the most difficult problem in the world.

She walked forward absent-mindedly, and suddenly smelled a faint smell of tobacco, which was a bit familiar. Before she could react, someone held her wrist first, making her scream in surprise.

The sensor lights in the corridor also turned on.

"It's me." The deep and mellow voice was like aged wine, cold and awe-inspiring.

"Xi Jinbai?" Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and frowned, "Why are you here?"

Xi Jinbai answered the question inappropriately: "Have you promised him?"

Sang Yu was stunned for a few seconds, "Did you see it?"

Xi Jinbai said "hmm".

I saw her hugging someone else.

He restrained all impulses to separate them. If he hugged them for just one more second, he would step forward and pull Sang Yu away regardless of his grace.

Sang Yuzheng was wondering how Xi Jinbai knew he lived here. After thinking about it, he thought it was normal. What he wanted to know would be clear if he asked someone to check it out.

She broke away from his hand and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Have you promised him?" Xi Jinbai repeated it again, insisting on an answer.

But Sang Yu didn't want to answer his question, "What do you want from me?"

Xi Jinbai held her wrist again and pulled her into his arms with force. His voice was paranoid and cold: "Don't promise him."

Sang Yu struggled to push him away, "Let me go. Who I promise is my own business."

Xi Jinbai restrained her firmly, "I won't let her go unless you answer me."

Sang Yu's energy was never worth his strength, so in the end he had no choice but to compromise, "I didn't agree, I don't think about feelings now."

Hearing these words, Xi Jinbai's tense back relaxed slightly, and he felt lucky for the first time.

"Why is the phone turned off?" he asked again.

"out of battery."

"Where did you go this afternoon?"

"Welfare home." After asking and answering, Sang Yu had obviously given up on the pointless struggle, like an emotionless robot, and said in a calm tone: "Are you done asking? I want to go home."

"When will you treat me to dinner?"

"without……"

Xi Jinbai knew what she was going to say and interrupted: "You can eat at a restaurant near your studio without taking up much of your time."

He lowered his head and rubbed the tip of Sang Yu's ear sideways.

She shivered slightly, feeling an abnormally hot temperature.

The temperature is even lower at night, how could he be so hot?
Sang Yu raised his head and took a closer look to find that his expression was indeed unusual, "Are you... feeling uncomfortable?"

Xi Jinbai let go of her and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Sang Yu finally relented. She stood up on tiptoes and put her hand to his forehead, which made her palms burn. "You have a fever. Where is your driver? Ask him to take you to the hospital."

Xi Jinbai's throat was dry, itchy and painful. He couldn't help coughing twice, and his voice was hoarse: "Stay with me."

Sang Yu clasped his palms and lowered his eyes, "My mother is still waiting for me at home, she will be worried."

Expecting that she would not agree, Xi Jinbai did not force her, "Well, I won't embarrass you, just go back quickly."
-
Sang Yu went upstairs and returned home. Sang Fengping was still waiting for her in the living room while watching TV.

"You're back, why so late?"

"I lost track of time after eating and chatting with my friends for a while." Sang Yu put on the slippers he wore at home and said, "Mom, I went back to the room to take a shower and go to bed. You should go to bed early too."

"Okay." Sang Fengping was still surprised. She was always happy every time she came back from the orphanage. Why did she seem to be in a low mood today?
Sang Yu went back to the bedroom to charge his cell phone.

After turning on the phone, she saw five missed calls from Xi Jinbai, which made her wonder if she had dialed the wrong number. In her impression, Xi Jinbai never wasted time on the phone, and it was usually when others asked for something from him. It was nothing. The matter was worthy of him taking the initiative to contact others.

There was another call at 3:30 in the afternoon, and the call lasted for more than four minutes.

When did she answer Xi Jinbai's call?
It was past three o'clock when she was still accompanying the children. Her mobile phone should have been placed on the desk in the classroom. Maybe one of the children picked it up for her. Sang Yu could only think of this possibility.

But why did Xi Jinbai call her so many times? Even if I asked him just now, he wouldn't tell me.

He came downstairs to block her at night. He didn't even know that he was sick. What on earth did he want to do?
Xi Jinbai's physical condition has always been very good. He has never been sick after being together for so long. He doesn't know how he got a fever this time.

Unable to think of a reason, Sang Yu forced himself to clear his mind and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Anyway, there is no shortage of people around him to take care of him, so she doesn't need to worry too much.

After washing up and returning to bed, Sang Yu made a video call back to Tong Tong and explained: "I forgot to charge my phone before going out, and it automatically shut down when it ran out of power in the afternoon."

"It's okay." Tong Tong had just finished cutting the film. He put his mobile phone on the stand and stretched out because of his sore back. "How about it? Do you have fun with the children with Xu Linzhou?"

Sang Yu pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, "He... confessed his love to me today."

Hearing this, Tong Tong came closer to the camera of her phone in surprise, "Confession? Has he figured it out? I thought he was going to keep secretly in love."

Sang Yu was slightly stunned: "You know?"

"When I was in my senior year of high school, I accidentally discovered that there was an inch photo of you in his book. Since it was his secret, I could only pretend that I didn't see it. What's more, I knew that you had someone you liked, so I didn't tell you. I thought he had been there for so many years. I’ve given it up, but I didn’t expect him to still like you.”

"You refused?" Tong Tong said firmly.

Sang Yu: "Well, I have always regarded him as a good friend."

Tong Tong sighed: "Actually, Xu Linzhou is quite good, but it's a pity that you two are not destined."

The word "love" is too complicated. If the person Yu Yu liked was Xu Linzhou, the road to love would not be so bumpy.
-
Su City, at 3:30 in the afternoon, Xi Jinbai has just finished a cross-border meeting. These days, he has been busy with the acquisition of foreign companies and stock market trading... It has been going on for a week, traveling to several countries, and he is also busy on the plane reviewing documents, During meetings, sleep no more than five hours a day.

After the meeting, he lit a cigarette, his brows showing a little tiredness, he leaned back on the leather chair, took the mobile phone next to him and dialed Sang Yu's number.

A long beep sounded, and after more than ten seconds, the call was finally connected.

Xi Jinbai let go of the cigarette in his mouth and was about to speak when he heard the childish laughter of children over there. They were discussing what snacks were delicious.

Then I heard another girl ask: "Brother, do you like sister Sang Yu?"

The man asked back: "Why do you think I like her?"

The little girl replied: "Because you have been looking at her while playing games, and you also care about her. Am I right?"

Xi Jinbai's grip on the phone suddenly tightened, and his veins bulged.

At the end, the man also warned the child: "What you just said is a secret, don't tell that sister."

The little girl laughed and said, "Okay, wait until you tell Sister Sang Yu yourself."

Xi Jinbai hung up the phone, dialed the internal line, and asked Cheng Xiang to book a flight ticket to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible.

Cheng Xiang didn't know why he was suddenly in such a hurry to go to Hong Kong Island, so he reminded him: "Mr. Xi, you have two meetings later..."

Xi Jinbai's throat felt uncomfortable, he coughed, and said hoarsely: "Delay until tomorrow."

"it is good."

Cheng Xiang followed the arrangement and called him two minutes later to tell him: "Mr. Xi, the only flight left to Hong Kong Island today is the 7pm flight."

Xi Jinbai's voice was cold: "Private flight."

Cheng Xiang was surprised. Why was he so anxious about using a private jet?
