Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 84 Even if you liked me, you didn’t choose me

There are two natural hot spring pools in the mountain behind the hotel, separated for men and women.

Jiang Tang wanted to go to the hot springs with Sang Yu and the others, but she didn't bring a swimsuit.

Tong Tong said: "I happened to bring an extra set of swimsuits, but they are still new and I haven't worn them yet. Our bodies should be about the same. If you don't mind, you can wear mine?"

Of course Jiang Tang didn't mind, "Okay, thank you."

They went back to the room, changed their clothes, wrapped themselves in hotel bathrobes, and the staff personally led them down.

The water in the hot spring pool is constantly flowing out from the cracks in the rocks. The water is clear and obscured by the mist, and humid water vapor permeates the air.

The mottled tree shadows jump on the water surface, and the moonlight slowly sways, creating a flowing picture.

The steps were slippery, so Tong Tong took off her bathrobe and got into the water first, then helped them down one by one, "Slow down."

Meng Qing walked deeper into the water and was soaked in the warm spring water from her neck down. She suddenly felt that the pores all over her body were opened, "This is so comfortable!"

There are stone benches to sit on under the water, close to the shore. There are fruits and drinks on the small table on the shore, which are within reach.

The service is very considerate.

Sang Yu smelled the faint smell of sulfur in the water, mixed with the fragrance of trees, a purely natural feeling.

The fatigue of the day melts away in the spring water.

After sitting down, Jiang Tang reached for two glasses of wine and asked them, "Do you want to drink?"

Meng Qing took a drink and said, "I wonder if I can get drunk easily."

Jiang Tang said: "It's okay to be drunk. There's no one else here. It's very safe. Someone will take us back to the room when the time comes."

"Then I want a drink too." Sang Yu hadn't slept very well these days and wanted to drink some wine to help him sleep before going to bed.

Jiang Tang handed it to her, "Here are fruits and snacks."

Sang Yu took the wine glass and said "thank you".

Chatting while drinking, the topic opens up.

We were so happy chatting that we drank too much before we knew it.

The fruit wine tastes very good. I didn’t feel much after drinking it at first, but I didn’t expect it to have a strong aftertaste.

Jiang Tang didn't drink that much, but Tong Tong and Meng Qing were already so drunk that their faces turned red.

Sang Yu still had a trace of consciousness.

Jiang Tang picked up the phone on the shore and checked the time, and reminded: "You can't soak for too long, let's go back."

Tong Tong nodded drowsily and walked towards the shore with empty steps, "Okay, go back to sleep..."

Jiang Tang grabbed her and said, "The direction is wrong."

Tong Tong looked around with misty eyes, but still couldn't tell the direction.

Meng Qing wasn't much better either.

"It's over, it's over, you're all drunk. I'll help you walk." Jiang Tang held one hand up and asked Sang Yu, "Are you okay, Sang Yu? If not, I'll call someone over."

Sang Yu shook his head with flushed cheeks, "No, I can leave by myself."

"Then slow down and don't fall."

"it is good."

She stepped ashore carefully, the water on her body dripping wetly all over the floor.

After putting on his bathrobe, Sang Yu was still dizzy and sat on a chair to rest for a while, "You guys go up first, I want to take a breather."

Jiang Tang really couldn't spare any time to take care of her, "Wait a moment, I'll call a waiter to help you."

Sang Yu responded vaguely, arching his back and resting his head on the armrest of the lounge chair.

Jiang Tang could only take these two drunk people upstairs first.

After an unknown amount of time, Sang Yu vaguely heard the sound of short, steady footsteps approaching.

The tall figure squatted beside her and asked, "Are you feeling well?"

Sang Yu remained silent.

"I'll hold you."

As soon as Xi Jinbai touched her arm, she waved it away.

Sang Yu opened his sleepy eyes, "No, don't..."

Xi Jinbai's hand fell empty, "Then I'll help you."

Sang Yu blinked her blurred eyes. The outline of the facial features in front of her was not clear, and her thoughts were also a little blurry. She refused based on instinct: "No."

She tried to stand up, but her feet felt like she was stepping on floating clouds, and she almost fell forward before she could stand firmly.

In time, a strong hand supported my lower back. There is a familiar aroma of tobacco and wood between the nose, mixed together, like cedar in winter, with a refreshing feeling.

There was a soft and delicate body in her arms. She had just soaked in the hot spring, and her body was warm. The bathrobe could not cover her exquisite curves.

Xi Jinbai's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice became hoarse several times: "How much did you drink?"

Sang Yu leaned on his chest, his voice thick and unclear, "I didn't drink much."

The ups and downs of his breath hit his chest, touching his skin through the thin fabric of his shirt, causing a slight tingling sensation.

Xi Jinbai's throat felt itchy, and he raised his hand to smooth the broken hair sticking to her cheek. Reason told him that he should send her back to the room, but his subconscious behavior made him stay where he was, unmoved, and even hugged her. Tighten up a bit.

He had never had such childish thoughts before, and now he desperately hoped that time could stand still and let her stay in his arms forever.

"How come you're drunk when you haven't drunk much?"

Sang Yu closed his eyes, found a point of support and leaned on him, muttering unconsciously: "I'm not drunk..."

Xi Jinbai asked: "Then who am I?"

There was silence for a long time.

He almost thought the person in his arms was asleep, then he heard her whisper: "Xi, Jin, Bai..."

Word by word, with a soft accent, like thick honey, pulling out strands of fine threads.

He responded: "Yeah."

He caressed the back of her head with his palm.

Sang Yu murmured: "Can you stay away from me..."

Xi Jinbai said solemnly: "No."

A non-negotiable tone.

"why?"

Sang Yu was not conscious, but was talking to him in a trance.

Under the influence of alcohol, she boldly asked the question she had been hiding for a long time: "Do you like me?"

But she regretted it as soon as she asked it. It seemed that there was no point in asking it now.

After all, we are not from the same world.

Xi Jinbai did not answer directly, "What do you think?"

He thought the answer was obvious.

Sang Yu sniffed and said in a very soft voice, like an ethereal wind, "It's not important anymore."

This feeling of not being able to catch her made Xi Jinbai panic for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed, he held her cheek and raised it, "Why is it not important?"

Sang Yu murmured: "It's all over."

Xi Jinbai sighed, feeling a little helpless, "You have passed, but I haven't."

Sang Yu opened his unclear eyes, his eyes were empty, and he said to himself, "Even if you liked me, you didn't choose me..."

Xi Jinbai's breathing became heavier and his voice was difficult to pronounce, "How do you know I won't choose you?"

Sang Yu said in his heart: Because you have already given up once.

This sentence was never uttered.

Xi Jinbai lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead, his breath lingering, mixed with the heat in the hot spring pool, creating a sense of charm and tenderness. His tone was solemn, and the pronunciation of every word was pronounced clearly: "I will choose you, and I really like you. you."

The sound seemed to come from a distant valley, a little unreal.

Sang Yu's eyelashes were trembling slightly, a layer of mist shrouded her eyes, and her heartbeat was like a clock hand with an irregular frequency, beating her heart one by one.

She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.

But it came too late.

She couldn't respond, couldn't respond, and didn't dare to respond.

After waiting for her to speak for a long time, Xi Jinbai changed the topic again, pinched her chin with his fingertips, and gently rubbed the skin with his fingertips, "Who is the person you have a crush on?"

Sang Yu couldn't keep up with his thoughts and reacted sluggishly, shaking his head and breaking away from his hand, "Well... I can't say..."

Unable to ask, Xi Jinbai changed the question: "Do you still like it?"

Sang Yu thought seriously for a moment, "I don't know."

Xi Jinbai frowned, "I don't like this answer, please give it another one."
