Chapter 017: Eight Minutes of Warmth

Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong took a taxi from North Point across most of Hong Kong and got off at the gate of Sha Tin Police Station.

The Longhua Hotel is located on the opposite side of the road on the mountainside, and you can see the large signboard in the distance, because there is also a railway on the eastern line of the MTR parallel to the road, so the two of them crossed the pedestrian bridge and walked along a long uphill corridor full of red lanterns to the end, and they arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

The decoration of Longhua Hotel is antique and very elegant. In the summer, it was too hot to choose the outdoor seat outside, and the two of them still chose to blow the air conditioner indoors to be more comfortable. Since they came all the way to Longhua for dinner, the three treasures of Sha Tin are necessary to order, such as braised suckling pigeon, landscape tofu flower and open fire chicken porridge.

Li Xuan specially ordered two Longhua best roast pigeons, one for each person. The pigeon is called and fried, and it will be served in a short time. Li Xuan is a carnivore, and when he first met, he had to maintain his image, but now that the two are familiar with each other, they are completely exposed.

Eating pigeon can not be afraid of dirt and trouble, he directly rolled up the cuffs, the whole in his hand to tear and eat, but also have a heroic and comfortable food. Zhong Chuhong watched his index finger move on the side, and finally, under Li Xuan's instigation, he also gave up the reservedness of a lady and began to feast.

The tofu flower is made by the hotel itself, and it is said that it has not changed its original taste in the 30 years since it opened, and the bean flavor is fragrant, smooth and delicious. Chicken porridge is also a signature dish of Longhua Hotel, with chicken soup and pearl rice as the porridge base, regenerating the chicken nuggets, the chicken is tender and smooth, and the porridge base is fresh and fragrant.

Longhua Hotel was originally a holiday villa for the proprietor Zhong Changxiu's family, which was requisitioned by the Japanese army during the Japanese occupation. After the defeat of Japan, the Zhong family was reclaimed from the Japanese army and rebuilt into the Longhua Hotel, with restaurants on the lower floor and guest rooms on the upper floor, which opened in 1950. At that time, the main source of customers for the hotel was the teachers and students of Chung Chi College, one of the predecessors of the nearby Huaqiao Business School and Chinese University.

Longhua Hotel is one of the few restaurants in Hong Kong that has been in business for 30 years, and it can be said that it has witnessed the vicissitudes of Hong Kong and Sha Tin in the past 30 years. Thirty years ago, Sha Tin was a remote rural village away from the city, but now it has risen to become a new town.

"I'm so full of food, I'm going to get fat again!"

"It's good to be fat, it feels meaty!"

"You big a**!"

The sun outside was a little fierce, and the two were not in a hurry to leave after eating, chatting with each other.

"It is said that Bruce Lee's "Big Brother Tangshan" was filmed here!" Zhong Chuhong looked at the photos left by various celebrities after coming to eat on the wall, and said with some envy.

"No, isn't that a photo of Bruce Lee!" Li Xuan stretched out his finger and pointed, "Have you seen that film, I didn't see it anyway!"

"I haven't seen it, and I don't like this kind of fight-and-kill movie!" Zhong Chuhong still likes to watch movies, but most girls are not sensitive to this kind of film that only fights.

"You work hard, I'm optimistic about you, next time you're popular all over Hong Kong, I'll invite you to come here for dinner, and then let the boss take a photo of us and hang it on the wall!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Hmph, just make fun of me!" Zhong Chuhong hammered her boyfriend a few times.

She is still a pink newcomer to the entertainment industry, and she has even failed several times in auditions for TV series, let alone making movies. She never thought that one day she would become the big star who "can't be more popular than Zhong Chuhong".

Li Xuan smiled and didn't argue.

Time always passes quickly in flirting, and the two of them came out of the Longhua Hotel after afternoon tea by the way. There are still about two or three kilometers to go to the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and they didn't go to take a taxi, but decided to take the East Rail Line to get there.

The predecessor of the East Rail Line was the Hong Kong section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, and after 1949, due to well-known reasons, the railway was disconnected at the boundary river, and the mainland section became the current Guangzhou-Shenzhen Line, while the Hong Kong section became the East Rail Line. The starting station of the East Rail Line is Lo Wu Port and the station is located in Hung Hom, Kowloon.

In 1956, the Hong Kong government donated a 10-acre piece of land in Ma Liu Shui in the New Territories to Chung Chi College as a permanent site, and added a university station on the East Rail Line for teachers and students to travel to and from the city.Chinese

Later, in view of the fact that the University of Hong Kong adopts an all-English education, there is no real Chinese university in Hong Kong, so with the efforts of all sectors of society, in 1963, the then Chung Chi, New Asia and United Chinese Colleges merged to form the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Li Xuan strolled around the CUHK campus with a sun umbrella and Zhong Chuhong in his arms, which was built in an N-shape shape with the sea at its back. The school buildings are scattered and nestled among the mountains and forests.

"The scenery here is so beautiful, you can see the sea, CUHK students are so happy!" Zhong Chuhong was not admitted to university, and naturally had a yearning for the life of the ivory tower.

"Then you can often come to accompany me in the future, and I can sit here with you every day and watch the sea!"

The two of them happened to find a bench in the shade of a tree and sat down to rest for a while.

"The sun is shining and warm today!"

Zhong Chuhong leaned her head on Li Xuan's shoulder, and after she was taken away by Li Xuan's first kiss, she no longer resisted to make some intimate movements. Li Xuan was a little speechless, fortunately there was a slight sea breeze, otherwise you should feel the heat.

"You know what?"

"What?"

"If the sun goes out at this moment, it will be eight minutes before the people of the earth will know. In the eight minutes after the sun went out, we were actually as warm as ever, and no one would notice its illusion!" Zhong Chuhong whispered softly, there was a hint of hesitation in his words, the two were good friends yesterday, and today they suddenly crossed the line and became lovers.

Li Xuan hugged her tightly into his arms, didn't say anything, just kissed her deeply, and used a French kiss to express his love. Maybe he is not a good person, but he can't help but feel a little emotional about the sincerity of the beauty.

"From the point of view of physics, before the sun went out, we on the earth would no longer exist under the change of gravity!" Li Xuan gently played with Zhong Chuhong's hair with his fingers, "But with the person you love, even death is not so terrible!"

As soon as Li Xuan said the word death, she covered her mouth with her hand and prevented him from continuing.

"Okay, we're here to play, why did you suddenly become so sad!" Li Xuan picked up Zhong Chuhong by the waist.

"Ah, don't make a fuss, let me go!" Zhong Chuhong exclaimed in surprise and looked left and right shyly.

"There's a coffee house in front, let's go see if there is any shaved ice, where is the sun warm, it's hot!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

The two walked around the entire campus, all the roads of the school built on the mountain were uphill and downhill, and Li Xuan had foreseen that he would have to climb the mountain every day in his college life. After coming out of CUHK, the two took a car back to the city and chose a clean tea restaurant for dinner. As long as men and women in love are with their beloved, whatever they eat is delicious.
