Unforgettable first love: warmth stays in the left atrium

Chapter 22

I believe that to be a person who really wants to be happy, one must also be a person who can make people happy
The next day, the second day of Chinese New Year, they took the Island Line from Wanchai to Central for two stops, and then queued up to board the Star Ferry.Maybe it's because the boat is going backwards, there are not many tourists on this group of Star Ferry.

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was excellent, there was no trace of smog under the warm sunshine, and the water surface of Victoria Harbor shimmered, which was really beautiful, like a little bit of starlight.

Leaning on the railing on the deck and looking out, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Victoria Harbour.

The ship slowly walked away, looking over, the row upon row of skyscrapers in Central made the midsummer dizzying. The dream of many Hong Kong people since childhood is to have a shelter in one of these buildings.

Sheng Xia raised her hand and bent her palm downward, as if she had taken the skyscrapers in the distance into her hands.She was having a great time, when Gu Yingning also got up from the seat and walked to her side.The sea breeze was strong, blowing her long hair and his collar.

His voice sounded low: "The Victoria Harbor at night is the most dazzling."

She looked up and asked, "Is it because of the lights of these skyscrapers?"

Gu Yingning smiled: "As usual, there will be a special presentation tonight."

Knowing that he was trying to show off on purpose, Midsummer was not in a hurry, just leaned over the railing and watched the distant view with the sea breeze blowing, squinting his eyes, feeling extremely comfortable.

In a short while, the Star Ferry has sailed from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui, and as soon as it comes out, it is Harbor City.There are always too many tourists in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the narrow roads are even more crowded during festivals.Sheng Xia frowned, but he himself was one of the tourists, so he curled his lips and said nothing.But how could Gu Yingning not notice her small movements, she curled her lips into a smile, raised her head slightly and said to her, "Have some dessert and rest?" Sheng Xia agreed with crooked eyebrows and eyes.

Waiting in line for dessert, after a short break, Gu Yingning took Midsummer to the top floor of Harbor City.There is a huge rooftop from the shopping mall. Although there is a coffee shop, it is empty and huge.The sea breeze blew over in bursts, and the discomfort of being crowded in the crowd seemed to be washed away by the wind with the smell of the sea.

At the entrance of the restaurant on the right side of the roof, there were some bright bouquets and a flower door marked with the word "WEDDING". Sheng Xia gently bumped Gu Yingning with her elbow: "It turns out that someone got married today." I just remembered the vague words last night, looked up at him, but still didn't ask.Some things, it's better to let nature take its course.

Gu Yingning laughed and said: "There are so many days in a year, new people get married every day in the whole world."

After being said so blandly by him, Sheng Xia simply ignored him, and walked slowly to the front of the rooftop, leaning on the arc-shaped railing and overlooking the sea.

Since they strolled here unhurriedly, the time has already passed by "tick-tick" unconsciously, and it is already evening at around 05:30.Although the sky is still bright, it is winter, and a twilight still quietly emerges.They sat down at the open-air tables and chairs of the nearby coffee shop, bought a cup of coffee, and waited for the sunset while talking.

People who love each other always have endless things to say when they are together, even a small detail can be talked and laughed for a long time, and it seems that they are all thoughts that others cannot understand.If I think about it later, I don't remember what I said at all, I only remember the beautiful and stretched corners of the eyes and brows of the other party when listening.

The sun was finally setting.

Looking from a distance, the sea level is as calm as ever.The nearby sky has turned into an exceptionally deep sapphire blue, and the farthest sky is first a burning vermilion ribbon, and then a golden orange that reflects the clouds, like the smoothest golden satin.A little closer, the clouds are dyed a magnificent rose red by the afterglow of the setting sun, some are large, some are just a thin layer, but these colors with distinct layers from far to near turn the entire sky into a drawing board, and Nature is the most ingenious artist. With a few "swipes" of the paintbrush, such a beautiful and soul-stirring scenery is left behind.

After having dinner nearby, the most exciting thing in Hong Kong at [-]pm is the fireworks feast at Victoria Harbour. The "Avenue of Stars" was already crowded with people, and Sheng Xia thought they had arrived early, but he didn't realize that "Mo Daojun walked early, and there are even more early pedestrians".

Following the surging crowd, who seemed to be infected by this joyful emotion, Midsummer pulled Gu Yingning and counted down loudly: "Ten, nine, eight... two, one!" The fireworks rose into the sky as promised.After the high-density fireworks are the first to catch people's attention, "gold ingots" are sprinkled in pieces. The "Golden Snake" swam past, and the sky was full of colorful flowers at the moment, with "Peonies", "Tulips" and "Phalaenopsis" competing for splendor over the Victoria Harbour.

Sheng Xia was very excited, holding Gu Yingning's arm with one hand, pointing at the sky with the other hand and exclaiming happily:
"Yingning, look, look, that 'Golden Snake' has swam back!"

Under the reflection of colorful fireworks, Gu Yingning's face was also mottled with light and shadow.Maybe it's because of the New Year, his smile is so soft and bright, almost comparable to the gorgeous fireworks in the sky.He had seen the fireworks in Victoria Harbor several times, and he didn't think there was anything special about it.

If he had to compare, in his eyes, her smile would never be matched by even this fireworks feast.But seeing Shengxia so happy, Gu Yingning was naturally happy in her heart - she likes it, how could he not like it.

He said, "If you like it, I will bring you to see it next year."

The "cracking" fireworks were deafening, and Gu Yingning's voice was drowned in the bang, Sheng Xia couldn't hear clearly, so he leaned close to his ear and said loudly: "You-say-what?" to his lips.

Gu Yingning couldn't help laughing at her vivid expression, but she was just watching fireworks, how could she look like a child.But he still leaned down slightly, and whispered vigorously in her ear: "Next year—again—bring you here!"

This time she finally heard clearly, and turned her head to look at him quickly, meeting his shining eyes, her black and round eyes filled with surprise.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd seemed to disappear suddenly, only him and her were left in the huge Victoria Harbour, and the fireworks continued to soar into the sky.In the warm night, the background music continued to accompany them, and they stood under the sky full of large clusters of beautiful flowers, and the years lingered on their words and gazes, making the river of time trickle.

Fangxin belongs to the most heart-warming peace in their quiet fleeting years.

The fifth day happened to be February 2th, Western Valentine's Day.

In the morning, they went to Lam Village, Tai Po, hung their wishes on the blessing wall, and prayed silently under the wishing tree with palms together.After wishing to open his eyes, Sheng Xia and Gu Yingning looked at each other and smiled.

In the evening, Gu Yingning booked a western restaurant on the top of Victoria Peak.When we arrived at the top of the mountain by the cable car, it was already full of stars, and the surrounding people were still bustling. There were many tourists who followed the tour guide to visit Madame Tussauds.

Probably because of the altitude, the wind is very strong on the top of the mountain, and the "hula la" blows make people a little unstable.

This western restaurant seems to be quite famous, when Gu Yingning and Sheng Xia entered the door, they felt that they were full of customers.If they hadn't reserved one, they probably would have had nothing to do tonight.

Corn soup, garlic bread, fruit salad, red wine and black pepper steak, creme brulee, brandy, Valentine's Day dinner is rich and delicious.Their seats are by the window. Looking out from the window, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of Victoria Harbour, full of flowing colors.

Because it is Valentine's Day, the whole restaurant is decorated very warmly and romantically, and there are glass vases with roses on each table.With the flickering of the candlelight, sitting with Gu Yingning facing each other, Sheng Xia felt a thick layer of honey flowing in his heart, sweet and calm, just like him and her now.

After the steak was served, Gu Yingning quickly cut it up, and then exchanged it with the plate in front of Sheng Xia:
"You don't know how to use a knife and fork until now. I really don't know how you survived every company reception in the past few years."

Sheng Xia just smiled: "Maybe you had a clone helping me at that time, but you don't remember it." Hearing her angry words, he nodded her nose helplessly.

After a full meal, I came out of the restaurant and took the sightseeing elevator back to the ground at the top of the mountain. There are still many pedestrians coming and going.Of course she and he clasped their fingers together, but the sensitive Sheng Xia still noticed that Gu Yingning's palms were sweating like never before.Just as she was about to ask him what was wrong, a boy with a skateboard in front suddenly flashed over and handed a rose into her hand, and then slid far away.

Midsummer was both amazed and joyful, holding the rose and was about to turn around and say something to Gu Yingning, but the next second, a young man with silver bangs suddenly ran over quickly and handed him a rose. Get out of the way.A shy little girl with blue eyeshadow, a black woman with fiery red nail polish, a tall white guy listening to music with a headset... It seems that the "START" switch was pressed all of a sudden, one after another The stranger quickly gave her a branch of roses and then left with a smile.

Already holding so many roses in her arms that they were about to fall, Sheng Xia's heart thumped, as if she had vaguely realized something.In a daze, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Gu Yingning who had been silent all this time, only to see that he was kneeling in front of her with an open small heart-shaped box in his hand.

The hazy yellow light from Victoria Peak hit his face, making the lines extremely soft and warm, and even the finest hairs on his face could be seen.Perhaps because of the refraction of the light, Gu Yingning's eyes were full of the most attractive vortex brilliance, he took a deep breath, his tone was very serious and careful, and said: "Sheng Xia, marry me."

One hand subconsciously covered her mouth. This was a picture she had dreamed about many times but no longer hoped for later.He has never been a romantic person, and he rarely even said moving words, let alone proposing marriage on his knees.However, it was this kind of Gu Yingning who had always been proud and stern, after becoming more and more gentle and considerate, unexpectedly... Sheng Xia's eye sockets suddenly became moist.

His nose was so sore, and his vision gradually blurred. Sheng Xia's throat was choked for a while, and suddenly he couldn't make any sound.

More and more onlookers gathered around, and almost all of them shouted with big smiles, "Marry him", "Marryhim", "Marry Beiqu", and the tone of voice was endless.

However, she couldn't see or hear these midsummers, and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand indiscriminately. In her world, there was only this man in front of her kneeling on one knee.Time passed by second by second, Gu Yingning never felt that "second" was such a long and difficult measurement.He didn't get her answer, his gaze was tightly grasping her, and there was a tremor in his voice, he repeated again: "Sheng Xia, marry me, will you?"

The tears in the corners of his eyes blurred and extended Gu Yingning's imperceptible nervousness and fear of rejection. Slowly recovering from shock, daze, and ecstasy, Sheng Xia finally realized that he had to respond to him.Her throat was still blocked by a thick choke, she took a small step forward vainly, unable to say what she wanted to say, Sheng Xia nodded her head desperately in a hurry.

At the moment of nodding for the first time, tears still raged.

The crowd around burst into loud cheers because Sheng Xia nodded, and the big stone in Gu Yingning's heart, which had already been sweating on his forehead, finally fell to the ground.Somewhat relieved, he showed a slight smile, stood up, walked to her who was just a few steps away, and gently took Sheng Xia's left hand that was not holding flowers.

Smiling and looking at Midsummer, whose shoulders shrugged from crying, Gu Yingning carefully and gently pushed the ring in her hand firmly into the root of her finger, and then turned to clasp her catkin.His thumb was a little rough, obviously he was gently wiping her tears, but unexpectedly Sheng Xia wiped more and more tears.

Curving her lips and smiling, Gu Yingning felt a little sweet and helpless, and simply kissed her on her eyelids and lips, and then brought Shengxia into her arms.She couldn't cry for a long time, she buried her head on his neck and cried out of breath, those tears permeated into his collar, only made him feel warm like a gurgling hot spring.

Leaning into Sheng Xia's ear, the formerly cold eyes are now willingly melted, Gu Yingning smiled softly and said, "Mrs. Gu, if you keep crying like this, the crowd around you may never disperse."

This sentence really worked, Sheng Xia was startled when he heard the words, and then he noticed that there were several layers of people holding mobile phones or cameras around him, and his subordinates squeezed Gu Yingning's back hard.

The pain like a mosquito sting was almost negligible. Holding her in his arms, he smiled very happily.

After coming down from the top of Victoria Peak that night, Gu Yingning led Sheng Xia to Lan Kwai Fong, which was just a few streets away.On the way down the mountain, Sheng Xia was dizzy all the time, as if she hadn't fully recovered from it. After all, his marriage proposal was too sudden and too happy for her, she couldn't believe it.

It wasn't until a brown-skinned waiter spread the Menu in front of her and politely asked "What can I help you?" that Midsummer finally had a sense of reality.Beside him, Gu Yingning said calmly: "A bottle of black beer, please."

"Andyou, Madam?"

The light in the bar is naturally very dark. With the candlelight on the table, Sheng Xia casually flipped through the menu, then raised his head and said to the smiling waiter: "Long Island I ced Tea."

The waiter nodded politely and left, but Gu Yingning was stunned by Sheng Xia's words, and paused for two seconds before saying: "Long Island Iced Tea? Sheng Xia, are you sure?"

After recovering from her senses, Sheng Xia was in a particularly good mood. Her excitement was mixed with undiminished excitement. She pouted, stared at him and said, "You don't care what you drink? Gu Yingning, I haven't married you yet."

Knowing that she deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, he just felt angry and funny, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Someone wants to turn into a drunk cat and throw himself into his arms later, why should I care?"

She was really drunk afterward.

Both cheeks were dyed red, Sheng Xia's dizziness was severe, and the outline of Gu Yingning in front of her eyes began to blur.However, every cell in her body was clamoring and excited. The feeling of ecstasy, I don't know whether it was because of the alcohol or because I was looking forward to it for so many years and was about to give up, but suddenly it came true.

Her arms were almost hanging around Gu Yingning's neck, Sheng Xia staggered every few steps, even though he had tried his best to support her, Gu Yingning couldn't help worrying about the way she stumbled.

Frowning slightly, his brows were tangled into a knot: "Knowing that I can't drink enough, I still insist on ordering Long Island Iced Tea. From now on, I'm not allowed to touch anything except a small amount of red wine."

Talking about this with Sheng Xia at this moment is tantamount to meaningless to the cow playing the piano.These words flew into her ears together into a "buzzing buzzing", Sheng Xia just kept smirking brilliantly: "Gu Yingning."

His tone was a little bad because he was worried about her, and he asked, "what do you do?"

As if she didn't hear or notice anything, she just yelled loudly again: "Gu Yingning, Gu Yingning."

Trying to put Sheng Xia into the back seat of the taxi, Gu Yingning ignored her calling her name over and over again, sat next to her and reported her address, and arrived at Jiahuixuan downstairs in a short while.
