128. Fireworks

December 31. The last day of 2003 at www.biquge.info.

Lin Feng and Ye Weiyu flew down at the Hong Kong International Airport.

An extended Rolls-Royce Phantom limousine with a Brewster Green body is already waiting outside the airport.

This is the VIP pick-up service provided by Lin Feng's previous reservation in the Presidential Suite of the Peninsula Hotel.

An old driver wearing an old Shanghainese-style uniform, obviously having a detailed understanding of Lin Feng's information, stepped forward to take the luggage with a smile, and said "Lin Sheng, Miss Ye", respectfully opened the car door, handed over a fresh-smelling towel, and gave the two of them an indescribable sense of respect.

This is the old-fashioned elegance of The Peninsula Hotel, the oldest hotel on Hong Kong Island since 1928 and known as the "Lady of the Far East".

The last time Lin Feng and others passed through Hong Kong for a roadshow, they did not choose to live on the peninsula because Mandarin Oriental is located in Central, which is more convenient for visiting financial institutions.

If you want to enjoy the invincible scenery and fireworks display of Victoria Harbour, the best location is naturally located at 22 Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, facing the peninsula of Victoria Harbour!

The Peninsula is affectionately known as "The Pen" by Hong Kong people.

It can be said to be a testament to the entire history of Hong Kong, and since its opening in 1928, it has been one of the most famous hotels in the world, hosting Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Henry, US President Nixon and other royal and dignitaries.

The Peninsula is of course most famous for its English afternoon tea, which is a favourite of writer Eileen Chang.

Ann Hui, the director of "Love in a Fallen City", also gave it most of the scenes: starting with the heroes and heroines hugging and dancing, "There is the best dance floor in Hong Kong." "To their love," "Can you see the moonlight in your room?" and then to the relationship, "I have always wanted to see the moonlight in your room." ”

It can be said that it was Zhang Ailing who allowed The Peninsula to witness all the emotional entanglements of lovers in troubled times, and also covered the Peninsula with a legendary color.

The Peninsula combines the courtesy of the English butler with the delicacy of the Asian waiter, either of which is a one-size-fits-all old-fashioned elegance that you will probably find in any other hotel in the world, but the Peninsula has preserved it intact.

Just as it was more than 80 years ago, when an English doorman in a white uniform smiled and opened the hotel door: the old-fashioned fan still hung from the ceiling, and all kinds of antique furniture adorned the hotel lobby. The band played softly, the waiters in traditional black and white trousers weaved briskly through the crowd, and an old lady spread jam on her scone. All this seems to be "disordered" in time and space, but it makes people feel at ease.

Lin Feng's Presidential Suite is located on the top floor of the hotel, with an area of 381 square meters (4,100 square meters), the floor-to-ceiling glass in the lobby of the suite fully presents the view of Victoria Harbour, the handmade retro telescope can overlook the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour, and the grand piano on one side can be played in your spare time, all of which reflect the unique dignity

The suite is equipped with a private cinema, gymnasium, conference room, etc., as well as an exclusive 24-hour top butler service room, as well as a room where the bodyguard Li Zhao can stay.

The master bedroom, which is simple but not luxurious, has floor-to-ceiling windows that face Victoria Harbour with unobstructed views.

The bathrooms are marble and elegant, while the bathtubs are located by floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of Victoria Harbour.

Since the last time he stayed in Mandarin Oriental's Presidential Suite, Lin Feng has fallen in love with this kind of hotel suite with all the facilities and spacious space.

Isn't it just to make money so that you can enjoy such a life?

Although the price of 140,000 Hong Kong dollars / night is indeed expensive, in such a special Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Feng feels that it is worth it to give himself and Ye Weiyu the best night.

The two washed up and rested, and when it was almost dusk, they went downstairs and went to the Felix restaurant on the 28th floor for dinner.

Ranked 18th out of the world's 50 best restaurants by Restaurant, The Peninsula's felix restaurant was designed by world-renowned designer Philippe Stanck.

Its cheerful décor and lighting, combined with its dazzling harbour night view, make it one of the most glamorous restaurants in Hong Kong.

The restaurant's small Felix Bar attracts guests with its space-themed theme, surrounded by 360-degree viewing glass, which offers a variety of Victorian nightscapes from dusk to evening.

The most eye-catching are the dining chairs, the backs of which are the heads of Philip Starck's partners and friends and family, including the designer's daughter, which is also a funny side of the designer.

Lin Feng chose a table by the window, where he could sit and watch the sunset slowly set.

Tonight may be the reason for New Year's Eve, there are not many people in the restaurant, and the faint piano music echoes, leaving a quiet space for the two.

The chef recommended tonight's menu: starters were black fish roe, king crab legs with lemon juice and colorful vegetable salad, dried ham and crayfish roll with seafood consommé, caramelized white pigeon breast with duck liver and pepper chips, served with black quinoa and almond cake.

The main course is pandan roasted RBA5 sirloin with shallot sauce, served with boiled mushrooms and potato chips. Dessert with mango panna cotta with coconut sorbet, coconut marshmallow and tropical fruit salad. Finally, the Peninsula Tea is served with a small dessert of Tiffany blue.

FOR THE PAIR, THEY RECOMMENDED A 97-YEAR-OLD APIS CROZES HERMITAGE FROM THE RÎNE VALLEY IN FRANCE AS A PAIRING.

OK, no problem. Lin Feng nodded in agreement.

"Yezi, Happy New Year!" Lin Feng raised his glass and smiled.

Ye Weiyu looked at her smiling boyfriend in front of her, with the charming scenery of Victoria Harbour on one side, and in the reddish light of the sunset, everything seemed like a dream.

How did you unconsciously follow the man in front of you, from the classroom on the college campus, all the way here?

The young Ye Weiyu suddenly felt inexplicable emotion in her heart and raised her wine glass.

"Happy New Year, Lin Feng, thank you for everything you brought me!"

Lin Feng was a little surprised, Ye Weiyu rarely said something similar.

Looking at her somewhat reddened eyes, although he didn't know what she was thinking, Lin Feng couldn't help but reach out over the table, hold Ye Weiyu's slender hand, and said with a smile: "Silly words, it should be thank you for always being by my side!"

There is some regret in my heart.

Maybe Ye Weiyu will never be able to understand his mood.

In Ye Weiyu's heart, the two have only been in a relationship for nearly 6 years from college to now, not long or short, and in the two years after graduation, everything has changed too fast, maybe she thinks back at this time, it's a little incredible.

But for Lin Feng.

Entangled in two lives, divided and combined for 20 years, the two have experienced too many ups and downs, and now all this, how easy is it to get?

It can be said that Ye Weiyu is a coordinate, connecting his past life and present life.

Only when she is by her side, Lin Feng can truly feel that his life and destiny have changed, and all this is a real .......

What is love?

Countless people may have countless answers.

The American psychologist Robert Sternberg once proposed a "triadic theory of love", saying that love consists of three parts: passion, intimacy and commitment. Passion is what drives people to fall in love, to attract each other, and to engage in sexual acts; Intimacy is the intimate details of two people's shared lives; Commitment is a kind of anticipation that can be eternal in the relationship.

Only if all three are present, is the perfect love.

There is only one of them: if there is only intimacy and there is no passion and commitment, it is only liking, and if there is only passion and no intimacy and commitment, it is infatuation, such as first love .......

With two of them: passion and intimacy, but no commitment, just romantic love, not caring about eternity, only caring about what was once there, no ending...... , and there is intimacy and commitment, and there is no passion, it is companionate love, emotional attachment, mutual dependence, and the only thing that lacks passionate romantic ....... Passion and commitment, but lack of intimacy, is called fatuous love, the so-called love at first sight and flash marriage, this is the case.

If you look at it according to this theory, in Lin Feng's heart, the two people who have been together for 20 years and have experienced wind and rain may be in love with each other.

But in Ye Weiyu's heart at this time, the promise is still out of reach, and it seems to be romantic love?

Lin Feng is not sure, but how difficult it is to have perfect love!

Even in his previous life, he thought he loved Wen Xin so much that he didn't hesitate to divorce, but at this moment, when he thought about it, it was just infatuation or ignorant love.

Lin Feng, who has experienced a life and experienced wind and rain and setbacks, is now pursuing a lover who can accompany him for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but say again: "Yezi, thank you for always being by my side!"

Ye Weiyu smiled, her eyes turned to the window, the sunset was red like fire, exuding a gorgeous light, it was almost dusk.

The waiter in the restaurant began to serve the dishes.

While the two were having dinner, the sun set and night fell.

The skyscrapers on the opposite side of Victoria Harbour are lit up, and the night view of Victoria Harbour is even more charming than daytime.

After dinner, the two returned to the room on the top floor. Stand in the lobby and wait for the fireworks show to begin.

Lin Feng was playing with the retro telescope, Ye Weiyu was interested, opened the piano cover, and played it with a ding ding, she had studied ballet and piano, although it was not a professional level, but it was enough to fool Lin Feng and make him shocked!

At 8 p.m., the Victoria Harbour New Year's Eve fireworks display began.

In an instant, the skyscrapers opposite Victoria Harbour were lit up and fireworks burst into the sky, polishing the night sky.

Lin Feng hugged Ye Weiyu and stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky in front of him.

My heart flashed through Xi Murong's "Fireworks" that I had read when I was a teenager.

"Shall we go and watch the fireworks?

Go see that

How to regenerate flowers in the midst of flowers

How to reproduce dreams on top of dreams

Let's walk side by side across the desolate riverbank and look up at the night sky

The ecstasy and tingle of life

It's all in this moment

It's like fireworks."
