82. Chapter 82
Thinking of the last marriage proposal on the video, Huo Yao rarely deserted when he was at work, and his slender fingers carelessly fiddled with the trinkets in front of the desk.
The necklace that Cheng Lele gave for his birthday this time took him a month to find someone. Engagement rings should have been more grand, looking for rough diamonds, designing facets and shapes, and processing, where is enough time in such a short time.
But if you don't strike while the iron is hot, who knows what will happen in the future. Marriage is a certain requirement, there must be surprises, and rings are the most indispensable. If you don't have time to order a ring, uniqueness is the most important thing.
Huo Yao couldn't help but smile on the corner of his lips, took his suit jacket and mobile phone, and left the office.
On Friday afternoons, there are a lot of people shopping. Hawk's is located in the heart of the city, one block away from Hong Kong's longest pedestrian street. A number of retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment facilities are gathered together, and there are all kinds of bags, jewelry, shoes, and clothes.
Huo Yao didn't need to drive, and it took five minutes to walk to the address searched on the Internet. He hadn't been in a jewelry store for several years, and the ones he gave Cheng Lele were all custom-made, and he used to accompany Cheng Lele to go shopping, but after his eyes were raised, he was not interested.
The store is the flagship store of Yi's Jewelry in Hong Kong, and the decoration is also quite painstaking, mostly designed in glass and white, and the walls are surrounded by bouquets of flowers and crystal chandeliers in the shape of flower balls, making people feel like they have entered a dream castle.
"Huo Yao, come here!" When Yi Nan received Huo Yao's call, she was not to mention how surprised, she thought that between her and Huo Yao, she was the one who took the initiative.
"Hello, sorry to bother you." Huo Yao smiled gently, since he asked someone to do something, he had to have a modest attitude.
"Don't bother with anything, if you can come to my jewelry show, I won't care about it today." Yi Nan quipped, enlivening the atmosphere.
"I didn't want to go, but it looks like I'm definitely going to go this time." Huo Yao sighed.
"I heard you say on the phone, do you want me to help?" Yi Nan has always been a non-dragging mud and water.
"Well, I want to propose to my girlfriend and make her a diamond ring myself, do you have anyone here to teach her?" Huo Yao's tone was gentle, but he could hear the sweetness in it.
"Propose?" Yi Nan was a little at a loss for the sudden words.
Yes, how could such an excellent man not have a girlfriend, but he was alone a few times when she saw him, so she thought that Huo Yao was the same as her brother, maybe he had a girlfriend, maybe a lover, maybe a fiancΓ©e, but he was not the one he loved.
Huo Yao may never remember her, they were classmates in elementary school. At that time, he was the prince charming of the class, and when she met the bloody hero to save the beauty, he was her hero.
On the day she entered junior high school, she went to school with excitement, thinking that she could still be in the same class as Huo Yao, but she didn't expect to see Huo Yao again. At school, in Hong Kong, I asked around, and I happened to hear that my brother started that Huo Yao was sent to school in the mainland.
Huo Yao came back in the summer of the first year of junior high school, but she and her family went to France for a trip. In the second year of junior high school, she didn't go to travel, and Huo Yao didn't return to Hong Kong. After that, she never saw him again, but she kept an eye out for news from him. I know when he came back to Hong Kong, and I know that he has a girlfriend.
She originally thought that Huo Yao was just an unattainable dream when she was a child, but now that she has grown up, Huo Yao is just an old friend from her childhood.
At the welcome banquet, she confidently and nervously saw Huo Yao again, with a calm and powerful pace, a young and handsome face, a tall and long figure, and a compelling momentum, he was like a luminous body, so that everyone at the dinner party only revolved around him.
At the dinner, he had no female companions, not even any woman, and this was the best news she had ever heard, and once again a tender sprout sprouted in her heart.
When she was still secretly happy that Huo Yao took the initiative to talk to her and took the initiative to ask her, she found out that it was really a dream, and it was shattered without even starting.
"Yi Nan?" Huo Yao looked at Yi Nan inquiringly.
Yi Nan, who was immersed in thoughts, came back to his senses and showed a somewhat reluctant smile, "Well, I'm listening." If you want to learn, you can only learn one basic operation in two or three days, which is too rushed. β
"I can't help it, I want to trap her sooner." After Huo Yao finished speaking, he smiled to himself, this statement is really good.
Yi Nan's expression darkened, pursed his lips and pondered, and asked, "When are you going to propose?" β
"Lele came over on Christmas Day, I want to be on Christmas, okay?" Although it was a discussion, the sense of oppression around Huo Yao did not make people refute.
"So fast!" Yi Nan unconsciously whispered, and then readily agreed, "If you only learn for a few days, I can teach you, how about it?" β
The last note carried Huo Yao's imperceptible trembling, and only Yi Nan himself knew that there were some humble thoughts hidden in it.
Due to Yi Nan's relationship, a diamond processing factory under Yi Jia has been open for them 24 hours a day in the past few days.
Yi Nan thought at first that Huo Yao was just making a show, no matter what he was cutting, as long as he made it himself. In fact, after Huo Yao plunged into the processing plant, he never came out, eating and living inside, and his serious and hard work was comparable to the college entrance examination that year.
"Hello?" Huo Yao glanced at the caller ID, his originally strict eyes were dyed with a smile, he stopped what he was doing and picked up the phone.
"What are you doing?" On the other end of the phone, Cheng Lele's crisp voice revealed her joy.
"I'm thinking about you." Huo Yao hooked the corners of his mouth and said in a low and gentle voice. Didn't lie to her, just thought about her while cutting the diamond.
The short three words suddenly entered Cheng Lele's ears, and after she looked slightly stunned, her face turned red, and she whispered embarrassedly: "I miss you too." β
Cheng Lele rarely took the initiative to say these words, Huo Yao heard it now, and the thoughts in his heart were completely hooked, "Baby, say it again?" β
"Think you miss you, you miss you!" The louder Cheng Lele spoke, the faster he walked, as if he could walk to Huo Yao's side as long as he was a little faster.
Huo Yao chuckled contentedly, and even his chest shook, "We'll see you soon, baby." β
"En......" Cheng Lele was about to continue, but the background broadcast suddenly sounded, and she hung up the phone in shock.
'Hello, your flight HX337, check in now, please prepare your documents and belongings, thank you for your cooperation......
Call! Cheng Lele touched the sweat on her forehead, fortunately she hung it early, if Huo Yao heard it, it would be all exposed. Pushing the suitcase in one hand and carrying a handbag on his arm, he took out his other hand and sent a text message back to Huo Yao.
Although Huo Yao was still reluctant to hang up the phone, Cheng Lele sent a text message, but he didn't think about it anymore. I just couldn't get enough of looking at the previous photos of the two on my phone, and I was alone for a while.
Yi Nan stood outside the door with takeaways, listening to the sweet words between the lovers in the house, and his heart was extremely sour.
She and Huo Yao get along day and night in this small studio, what kind of person Huo Yao is, she is somewhat clear, cold and detached, and polite, this is a typical British gentleman's style.
I never thought that Huo Yao would be like this to his girlfriend, he was enthusiastic, and his tone was indescribably affectionate, and his feelings were all given to this one person.
In the past two days, Huo Yao's efforts have been seen by her, and he has been focused and patient in cutting every diamond, perhaps just because he wants to give it to the person in his heart. The value of the cut diamond was enough for Huo Yao to buy the work of the world's top diamond master, but Huo Yao threw it away without even blinking an eye and continued to practice.
Three days seemed to be stolen by Yi Nan, and the longer she got along, the deeper her heart sank.
Yi Nan took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, pushed the door in, "What are you laughing at, I brought you food." β
"Thank you, I really don't have to be so troublesome next time." Huo Yao said apologetically. "In two days, I'll treat you to dinner."
"What is this, I want to eat it myself, by the way." Yi Nan opened the lunch box for Huo Yao and took a glass of water for him.
"I'm bothering you this weekend, I'll invite you for dinner! Next time you have anything, be sure to come to me. "Huo Yao doesn't like to owe favors to others.
"Well, Mr. Huo's favor is not so easy to get." Yi Nan pretended to think about it and laughed.
It has nothing to do with her, and she is willing to bury her heart in the bottom of her heart as a secret of her crush when she was young. After Yi Nan figured it out, his mood was relaxed, and his relationship with Huo Yao was much more casual.
The morning clouds cleared, and the sky outside the window was now high and comfortable again.
Cheng Lele's eyes were on the window, looking out intently, the corners of his lips were crooked, smiling softly, and he was completely in love with the appearance of a little woman. His fingers unconsciously clenched the sleeves of his shirt, as if he was faintly uneasy.
Turn off the plane, board the plane.
Huo Yao, I love you, this is the last text message from Cheng Lele before the plane takes off.
The winter night came very early, and by the time Cheng Lele arrived in Hong Kong, it was only five or six o'clock, and the sky outside had completely darkened.
Cheng Lele pushed three suitcases of luggage, standing in the middle of the bustling crowd at Hong Kong Airport, feeling particularly down-to-earth, this is the city where Huo Yao lives, and maybe one day, it will also be her city.
Although she doesn't speak Cantonese, she is fluent in English and has absolutely no problem finding a place here. After leaving the airport, I took a taxi in a hurry and reported the address of Huo Yao's apartment.
The driver's master saw Cheng Lele's thin appearance, and he could carry such a heavy suitcase by himself, which reminded him of his daughter studying abroad, and it was not easy for children to be alone outside.
It's not a long road, there is a talkative driver, and Cheng Lele is not boring at all.
got out of the car, and the driver insisted on helping Cheng Lele send the luggage upstairs. Cheng Lele couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the driver, so he had to agree. Unexpectedly, Huo Yao was not at home, Cheng Lele rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one opened the door.
The driver stood next to him in confusion, Cheng Lele was hesitant, his face was red in embarrassment, and he said that he didn't have the key to his boyfriend's house.
The driver master also came from a young age, and he also had a daughter, how could he not know some of the young man's thoughts, grabbed his rough hair, and laughed, "I see, then you quickly call your partner and ask him to come back early." Such a beautiful girlfriend came to see him in large bags, and he dared to release pigeons. β
Cheng Lele was teased by a stranger, and was suddenly a little embarrassed, knowing that the other party meant well, he pursed his lips and smiled.
"Then I'll go first, Miss, pay attention to your own safety!" The driver told repeatedly.
After the driver left, the original silence was restored in the spacious corridor. There are only two households on this floor, and the one opposite Huo Yao has not even unpacked the newly installed door, and it is estimated that the owner has not moved in yet.
Cheng Lele followed the lines of the tiles, paced slowly, walked into the window, and leaned against the wall.
At night, the neighborhood is brightly lit, and the surrounding green vegetation does not tell that this is winter, and the scattered leaves and dappled lights on the tree-lined path interweave a beautiful and quiet picture. High-end cars come and go, and the voices of people are not noisy.
Tick, tick, tick...... The hour hand slowly slipped past eleven o'clock.
Cheng Lele's heart that had been cheered up all day gradually cooled down, at first, she didn't want to call Huo Yao, she just wanted to give Huo Yao a surprise, how could she be a surprise if she sued him.
But now, she is a little irritable, holding her mobile phone tightly in her palm, why haven't she come back, in fact, Huo Yao always has a party, and it is normal to return late, Cheng Lele feels that she should be hungry, so she will be angry with Huo Yao. She didn't want to turn a good surprise into a complaint.
Cheng Lele struggled to move three huge suitcases out of the community. It's so late that even the roadside stalls are packing up and going home. She dragged her luggage, and she didn't want to go too far, and she had to return in a while.
After searching in the mobile phone for a long time, the seven-eleven at the gate of the community finally solved it, she was really hungry, according to the usual, she would never drink his convenience coffee, after drinking, there was no other taste in the mouth except bitterness.
After Cheng Lele was full, he pouted. Thinking that if I see Huo Yao for a while, I must ask him to take her to the best place in Hong Kong to have a rub.
"Yi Nan, wait a minute!" Huo Yao came out of the building quickly and beckoned to Yi Nan, who was waiting by the car. Tonight was going to stay up late again, so he went home and took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and came down.
"No, you're fast." Yi Nan looked at Huo Yao and said with a smile.
"Let's go, then." Huo Yao stopped answering. I waited for half an hour before and after, not because I couldn't take Yi Nan up, but because I didn't want his baby to have a pimple in his heart.
"Where?"
"You decide, you're my hero." Huo Yao promised to have dinner with Yi Nan in the evening, but he was busy so late. In the matter of the diamond ring, Huo Yao is indeed grateful to Yi Nan, and now the appearance of the ring is almost ready.
"Then let's eat Cantonese food." Yi Nan knew that Huo Yao's taste was light and he couldn't eat spicy.
The two of them got into Yi Nan's car one after the other and drove out.
Cheng Lele walked out from the path in the garden next to him. Biting her lip and looking at the car that had already driven away, in fact, she didn't know why she didn't call Huo Yao.
