Chapter 21 The Map of Happiness

Every day I open my eyes and see you and the sun are here, that is the future I want

There are still five days until the Lunar New Year, and the streets and alleys are already filled with joy.

Sheng Xia's parents divorced during the summer vacation of her first year of high school, and Sheng Xia followed her mother.Her mother remarried when she was a freshman, and her stepfather was very kind to both her and her.Although he was also happy for his mother in his heart, Sheng Xia still felt unconcealable loss and a sense of loss.Fortunately, there are all accommodations in the university. After graduation, she came to F City alone to make a living. She only went to her mother's place during the New Year and holidays, so there would not be too much embarrassment over the years.

Therefore, when Gu Yingning proposed that the two of them go to Hong Kong for the New Year this year, Sheng Xia thought about it and happily agreed.The next second she nodded, he took out a printout of a successful flight ticket reservation from his coat pocket. Sheng Xia was stunned for a second and then laughed out loud, but pretended to be slightly annoyed and said: "Buy the ticket early. Now, you still come to pretend to ask me if I am okay, Mr. Gu, your domineering temper probably cannot be changed."

He wasn't fooled, put the printout away after saying "uh", raised his eyes to look at her, and said slowly and calmly, "Don't you just love me like this?"

After being stuffed back with the ball like this, Sheng Xia took a breath, then gave Gu Yingning a sideways look, and made a gesture to get up and walk away.However, as soon as she took a step, she fell into a very tight and warm embrace in the next second.He was behind her, spraying her warm breath tickling her ears, Gu Yingning pursed her lips, with a playful smile in her eyes, and breathed into her left ear while asking: "You haven't answered yet, do you love me?" like?"

He purposely spoke word by word very slowly, Sheng Xia seemed to have a lot of throbbing that was about to come out while being tickled by him.The more she talked about it, the more she couldn't stand it anymore, she kept hiding back, and then responded with a pink face and a smile: "Of course I love, of course I love you!"

It was probably because of his belated confession when he was trapped in the secret room. From then on, Gu Yingning became less and less cold in front of Midsummer, like a child who always wanted to steal candies , happy frankness and sometimes with a hint of cautious desire.Sheng Xia only finds it funny and heartbroken, she will definitely be planted in his hands in this life, if that's the case, then the two of them will fall into the mud together and don't need to extricate themselves.

Hearing her say "love", Gu Yingning narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling a little satisfied in her heart.She blew viciously into Sheng Xia's ear, and the warm breath instantly made her feel distracted.

Holding Sheng Xia's waist tightly with one hand to clamp her slender and well-fitting body, and gently holding her face away with the other hand, the red glow on Gu Yingning's cheeks made Gu Yingning feel as if he was stepping on floating clouds, making him feel like he had been dusted for a long time. Frost-covered waiting is not worth mentioning at all.

He just looked at her like this, and Sheng Xia was so happy that his consciousness was already blurred. He only felt that a seed broke out of the ground in his heart, and a flower branch grew in an instant, and the buds spread along the flesh and blood. .

That night they fell in love with each other, until Yueniang shyly and slowly faded away.

The four days passed in a flash, and it will soon be New Year's Eve.They booked an evening flight and were waiting at the airport around eight o'clock.During the Spring Festival, there is still a lot of passenger traffic at the airport, full of voices and bustling.After checking in the luggage and changing the boarding pass, Gu Yingning dragged Sheng Xia's hand and sat watching the passengers coming and going in front of him.

Because it is a reunion festival, most of the passengers travel with the whole family. Of course, there are also Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia who have come out to live a two-person world.Everyone was in high spirits because of the Spring Festival, and the young couple sitting next to Shengxia kept smiling from ear to ear.

Waiting for the plane is a bit boring after all. Seeing Shengxia seems to be easy to get along with, the young couple on the side smiled friendly: "Are you also taking advantage of the Spring Festival to go on vacation?"

Sheng Xia nodded, and returned home with a smile: "Yes, where are you going?"

The little wife was blushing, but her eyes couldn't hide her joy and shyness: "He said he would take me to go skiing in South Korea. This is our honeymoon trip."

When Sheng Xia heard this, he hurriedly congratulated and said: "It turns out that you are newly married, congratulations."

The young couple also thanked each other repeatedly. After all, they were just married, and the two of them looked like sticky honey mixed with oil.After exchanging pleasantries, the husband asked with a smile, "Seeing how affectionate you are, did you also go on your honeymoon?"

This time without waiting for Sheng Xia to speak, Gu Yingning had already spoken first, but in a rarely brisk tone: "It's a step behind you, but it's too fast."

She heard the words and looked back at him, only to see that he was smiling with his eyebrows stretched and his eyes shining.He was originally a man of dragon and phoenix quality, but he was too cold and solemn on weekdays, but now he was smiling so brightly and brightly, his whole person seemed to bring a warm breath of spring.Subconsciously, she crooked her eyebrows and smiled sweetly at him.

The din of people around has long since disappeared, and in Midsummer, the whole world is completely silent, except for the corners of Gu Yingning's eyes and brows that are rarely seen.The sweet voice of the staff happened to be heard on the radio, announcing that the flight to Hong Kong had started to board. Gu Yingning led Sheng Xia to stand up, said goodbye to the young couple, and then naturally and calmly led Sheng Xia to the boarding gate.

A few seconds later, Sheng Xia came back to her senses, and finally believed that such a thing as "alluring with a smile" was actually true.When the other party is the person you put on the cusp of your heart, being drunk in it is a willing sinking.

It's not too far from City F to Hong Kong. Two hours later, the plane finally landed steadily at Hong Kong International Airport.The bright lights of thousands of houses when overlooking the whole city from the plane window before made it clear to Sheng Xia that he had arrived in this city that never sleeps.

Gu Yingning's father owns a real estate in Hong Kong, located at J-Residence (Jiahuixuan) on Johnston Road in Wanchai, so after getting off the plane and picking up their luggage, they took a taxi and drove towards the residence.

Looking out the window at the same bustling crowd as City F, Sheng Xia rested her head on Gu Yingning's shoulder.Lights, tree shadows, and crowds become a little unreal under the galloping situation, but the temperature coming from the side is real, and that's enough.

Squinting her eyes, Sheng Xia had a contented smile on her lips. I believe this year's Spring Festival will be very happy.

Not because of coming to Hong Kong, but because with him, even wandering in the wilderness will become a paradise embrace.

Coming to Hong Kong during the Spring Festival is excellent, except for the crowds that are too crowded.

The winter in Hong Kong is probably equivalent to the autumn in F City. A thin shirt and a coat over the hood are enough. The warm weather makes people feel extremely bright.There are not many trees in Hong Kong, but the sky is exceptionally clear and blue.Big clouds float in the sky, white and soft, like the most attractive cotton candy, but you can clearly see the layers from far to near.Occasionally, I encounter clusters of Pteris basilisks. The green branches lift into the air and then hang down. Standing under the phoenix bamboos and looking up, I suddenly feel that this is not a bustling and noisy metropolis, but a boat. The water town of Zeguo.

The Spring Festival is the peak season for discounts, and all shopping malls are marked with big "FINALSALE", and the red font is both eye-catching and festive.Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia did not go to the already crowded place, for them, lingering outdoors is a worthwhile trip.

On the night of New Year's Eve, they had a New Year's Eve dinner at a Cantonese restaurant in Causeway Bay.The New Year is coming quietly, although there are only two people, they are very happy.This is the fifth year they have known each other and the fourth year they have been together, but it is the first time they greet the New Year together, how can they not be happy.

Surrounded by family members, Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia were sitting on a table for two, he glanced at the beaming surroundings and said: "I heard that Hong Kong people still have a very traditional family concept. It must be written into the Gu family tree soon."

She couldn't help laughing and covered her mouth with her hands, glanced at Gu Yingning's bright eyes, Sheng Xia took a sip of the soup and hummed: "I need to investigate you again."

He just smiled and said nothing.

When they returned to Jiahuixuan later, they took a bottle of red wine and went to the rooftop on the top floor.

The rooftop here is spacious and unique, most of which are sofas and glass coffee tables, and foreigners in twos and threes have already sat and chatted on the rooftop.

Leaning against the railing on the far side and looking out, you can have a panoramic view of the night view of the entire Wan Chai.Those lights that are as bright as day, those minibuses, taxis, or double-decker buses that are still flowing, have all become tiny, tiny dots, reflecting the vast black sky ahead so beautifully.

Walking from one end of the rooftop to the other, Sheng Xia looked at the two tall white men who were still swimming in the swimming pool on the next floor for a while, and finally sat down on the sofa next to Gu Yingning.

He had already poured two glasses of red wine, and when he saw her sitting down, he handed over one, and then the two glasses touched lightly, making a particularly crisp sound.

With a warm smile in his eyes, Gu Yingning said, "Midsummer, Happy New Year."

His voice is like the most mellow cello, making Sheng Xia feel like he is already drunk before drinking.

It has been many years since he has been so sincere, and Sheng Xia feels that each of the four extremely ordinary words he uttered comes from the heart: "Happy New Year."

She took a sip of red wine, put the wine glass on the glass table, rested her head on his shoulder, looked up next to him, and suddenly said pleasantly: "Yingning, you can actually see stars here!" The neon lights of the city are too flickering , it is rare to see stars at night in F City.Sheng Xia originally thought that it should be similar in a city that never sleeps like Hong Kong, but unexpectedly the appearance of the stars is so clear.

With her arms around her waist, Gu Yingning leaned her head vainly against Sheng Xia, looking at her from her angle, it really was a bunch of flickering stars.He hooked his lips into a smile and said, "It seems that the stars in Hong Kong are delighted with your arrival."

Sheng Xia couldn't help laughing: "You don't feel blushed when you tell such a lie!"

Gu Yingning took another sip of wine, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Shouldn't it be you who blushes at me every time?" After a pause on purpose, he leaned closer to her ear, "Especially at night..."

Before he finished speaking, she was already annoyed and glared at him, but her face turned red again: "Gu Yingning!

You just love to bully me. "Sheng Xia bit her lip slightly after speaking, and finally turned her head and raised her chin to ignore him.

Gu Yingning was in a good mood, and teased in a low voice: "Are you angry?" However, he didn't continue to tease her, but changed the subject, "When I was very young, my mother and I lived in a suburb of Switzerland. When I look up at night, I can see many stars.”

Sheng Xia turned to look at him in surprise, she knew that he must have traveled to many different places, but she never thought that his childhood was also abroad.

He continued: "My mother is a very gentle woman with a beautiful smile. As long as I can remember, I have lived with my mother in Switzerland. My mother is very lonely, and so am I."

Gu Yingning gently shook the liquid in the wine glass, "Until we meet father."

Hearing him say this, Sheng Xia finally realized that there was something wrong in the words, and Gu Yingning had already told the truth she had vaguely guessed in the next second: "It seems that I have never told you that my father is not my biological father. Not Gu, but Bai after my mother."

Sheng Xia only felt that her throat was a little sticky, and her eyes, nose, mouth and tongue were filled with a sore feeling, so numb that she wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound.But looking at her like this, Gu Yingning smiled heartily: "I don't feel sad at all about the past, really. Although I still don't know who my biological father is, I have a mother who loves me and Father, from now on, it is the greatest desire of all ordinary people to have you. But I am just such a small one among all living beings, and now it is too late to be happy."

Her eyes were bright because of his words, as if washed by water.Close to Gu Yingning, with the warmth of his palms around her waist, Sheng Xia felt extremely warm in her heart, as if the flower buds that had bloomed all over her body before exuded the most moving fragrance in an instant, overflowing her lips and teeth.

Under such a clear night with white clouds, and not far away from the busy skyscrapers, Sheng Xia felt that the distance between himself and Gu Yingning was closer than ever.He has always been reticent, and he has never mentioned anything about his childhood.But now, his active mention made her feel full of emotion. If he didn't intend to let her enter his world completely, how could he expose his wound like this?

Obviously there were so many words stuck in his throat, but Sheng Xia opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say for a while.She was a little anxious, but Gu Yingning smiled: "Sheng Xia, why are you always moved by trivial things?" He and she gradually sat opposite each other, and he hugged her waist from the front, "It's so easy to be satisfied." ... If you really want to hear about my trivial matters from the past, I will tell you one thing every day from now on."

It's a night full of stars and moons, but Sheng Xia clearly feels that he has seen the most overflowing sunlight, clearly falling from the corner of his eyes.

His eyes were a little red, and his throat was a little choked.Sheng Xia's head was a little dizzy, maybe it was because of the stamina of the little red wine he drank just now, or maybe it was because he was addicted to his eyes that reflected her little figure.

Staring at Gu Yingning so intently, as if she would not take away even a sliver of peripheral vision even if the universe ceased to exist, Shengxia said: "Yingning, from now on there will be no suspicion or dispute between us. Because I Love you, and you love me too, so all the ups and downs we've been through together will never let any gaps grow between us."

She loves the man in front of her so much.In the past, she was afraid that if she took a step closer, she would scare him away, and if she took a step farther, she would lose him, so she was careful to hide.Only so is he.

But from now on, he and she are each other's world.

Gu Yingning lowered her head and covered her lips in response to Sheng Xia's words.He captured her lips and tongue bit by bit, hot and undeniable—and she never refused.His breath invaded her entire mouth overwhelmingly, sucking almost all the air.Sheng Xia only felt the lack of oxygen, his mind went blank, but his body senses were exceptionally clear.She could feel the temperature of his palm, originally both hands clasped her tightly, as if to knead and embed into his body.

She no longer knew when this deep and burning kiss ended. When Gu Yingning finally moved his lips reluctantly, Sheng Xia panted with flushed cheeks, leaned weakly in his arms, and gulped... breathing.

For a long time, in a trance, Sheng Xia seemed to hear Gu Yingning say: "Sheng Xia, I can't wait, let's get married."

A good night's sleep without dreams.

Early in the morning, when she woke up with her pillow on Gu Yingning's arm, her memory slowly came back, thinking of the vague "marriage" last night, Sheng Xia was a little uncertain, after all, she was already too vague at that time.

After moving her body and looking up, she realized that Gu Yingning hadn't woken up yet.

She stretched out her hand, stroked his cheek gently, and then slowly moved her fingertips away.She carefully traced the shape of his eyebrows, then the long and curled eyelashes, then the high bridge of the nose, and finally, her fingers rested on his tightly pursed thin lips.This lip once said something that made her feel miserable, and also made her jump for joy. When everything passed by, she loved everything about the owner of this lip.

Rubbing his lips, Xu Shi gradually felt the movement on his face, and Gu Yingning finally opened his sleepy eyes.His mind was not completely clear yet, looking at the smiling face that was very close in front of him, he murmured "Morning" and subconsciously held her hand with his free hand.Seeing that he closed his eyes again, Sheng Xia chuckled, leaned slightly towards him, and then closed his eyes again with a satisfied expression.

When I woke up again, it was already eleven o'clock in the noon, and the sun was three poles high.

Opening the curtains, the bright sunlight shines through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, sprinkled on midsummer's shoulders, and the water is extraordinarily bright.Sheng Xia couldn't help sighing: "The weather is so nice, winter in F City is rare."

While talking, Gu Yingning came out after taking a shower, the water droplets on the upper body slid down the well-textured muscles into the white towel around the waist.Midsummer looked back, under the sunlight, the water droplets on his body shone with golden light, as if he had a natural light already.

Looking back and taking a big sip of water, Gu Yingning said, "Even if the weather is good, there are still a lot of people shopping."

After thinking about it, Sheng Xia said: "It's too late, it's too late, let's take a walk around today, okay?" Gu Yingning nodded: "Even if you say that you will spend the whole day on this bed today, I have no objection."

His raised eyebrows and the interest in his eyes betrayed his banter, and she naturally heard what he said, glared at him feigned anger, and then strode into the bathroom.

Later, on the first day of the new year, they really did not go far, just strolling around leisurely, and there were many more pedestrians on the street than expected.Probably because of the gradual liberalization of "free travel", almost all the tourists rubbing shoulders are mainland tourists who speak fluent Mandarin, and their faces are beaming.

Walking in such a crowd, he and she were tainted with the joy of others, and they were all smiling all day long. It's been a long time since we had such a happy New Year!
