Chapter 192: Two Cups of Rusty Nails
10:40 Hong Kong, inside Victoria Harbour.
With the current wind and waves, some memories began to appear in my mind again. "Before I left, before I went crazy. I have an idea, that is, to go to Hong Kong once, take a Star Ferry, ferry a Victoria Harbour ......" I took a deep breath, inhaled the sea breeze deep into my lungs, and I smiled unconsciously. Although this goal now seems to have been basically achieved. However, it is impossible to sit on the Star Ferry after all. β
Listening to me quietly, Kang Seok-jun picked up his glass and touched it with me, and then drank it all in one gulp, the scarlet liquid sliding down his throat. Waiting for the cup to be empty, Jiang Xijun's hand holding the cup suddenly clenched, and he turned around abruptly, and the hem of his clothes was raised warmly. With the strength of his right arm, the glass came out of his hand, and after crossing a long, long arc in the night sky, it fell into the river.
Exhaling violently, Jiang Xijun straightened the hem of his clothes and looked at me with burning eyes: "The times are changing, you are changing, and I am also changing." You are no longer the Liu Chengyu you used to be, and now, you are sitting on a yacht worth two billion won (about 1.12 million yuan), and what we have to face is a new future. β
In the heart of the river, the breeze and the waves ripple together. In this night scene, I suddenly felt that some wavering beliefs in my heart suddenly became extremely hard, as if they could no longer be destroyed.

After the trip to Victoria Harbour and going ashore, Kang Seok-jun drove the car. and carried me elsewhere. For the next hour or so, we first went to the top of Victoria Peak. At the top of the mountain, most of Hong Kong is in sight. Then we went back to Tsim Sha Tsui and went to the Avenue of Stars.
A relaxing 120-minute walk. Although there are still many places I have not yet visited, the image of Hong Kong as a whole has been clearly imprinted in my mind. Coupled with Jiang Xijun's stirring words, a lot of feelings found me.
Parking the car in the parking lot of the Peninsula Hotel, the dial hands of Kang Seok-jun's watch were already pointing to twelve o'clock. When I got out of the car and closed the door, I couldn't help but feel that the real night that this guy was looking forward to had just begun.

"Go back to your room first or go straight to fe1ix." After entering the elevator. Hovering my finger over the elevator button, I looked sideways at Jiang Xijun and asked.
Kang Seok-joon straightened his head to the reflective wall in the elevator and said to me, "Go straight to FE1ix, I'll call Taeyeon and them." β
Bending his fingers pressed the elevator button on the twenty-eighth floor, and the steel cable with the thickness of the forearm above his head began to pull the iron box we were riding on. Kang Seok-joon, who had sorted out his image, took out his mobile phone and called Kim Tae-yeon directly. The voice was as long as ever, and Jiang Xijun's expression waited without a trace of change.
It took a while for the phone to be connected. I didn't turn on the speaker mode, and I couldn't hear Kim Taeyeon's voice clearly. Kang Seok-jun lowered his voice. After a few words, he hung up the phone. "They just finished the spa and said they would go there right away." Raising his phone at me, Kang Seok-jun said.
He shrugged his shoulders and looked up at the lights on the elevator. The 28th floor is about to arrive.
With a dinging sound, the iron box was fixed at an altitude of 82 meters, and he stepped out of the elevator with Jiang Xijun. Both of us also dressed up for the award ceremony. Jiang Xijun's fashion does not need to be elaborated too much, he is extremely elegant from beginning to end. As for me. It's still the same old, monochromatic clothes, pants, shoes. A type similar to board size.
On the 28th floor of the peninsula, there is a comprehensive service area of the hotel, with a restaurant on one side and a fe1ix bar on the other, which is more like a bar than the intoxicating Lan Kwai Fong.
In fact, the restaurant on the other side is also owned by FE1ix. Designed by the world-renowned design master Philippe? Designed by Stark Phi1ippestarck, FE1IX is one of the world's most fashionable restaurants, with its cheerful dΓ©cor and lighting, as well as its dazzling harbour night view, it is one of the most glamorous restaurants in Hong Kong.
After getting out of the elevator, follow Kang Seok-jun and turn straight left, which is completely different from the design of the restaurant area, and the unique space shape of the bar area catches the eye, and the suffocating feeling is even stronger.
After entering the FE1IX bar, we fully felt the design theme of the bar without even being introduced by AITER on the side. In the tall space that is not cramped, everyone seems to be in the center of the stage, the spotlight hits the huge drapery, which is the symbol belonging to the designer Stark, and there are no superfluous decorations on the floor of light. As for the suffocating key, it is the viewing glass that surrounds it almost 36o-degrees.
With this design that perfectly fits the space theme, every guest can sit on the high chairs at the bar and enjoy the ever-changing Victorian night view from dusk to light night.
Compared with my long-term emotion, Jiang Xijun, whose mood is much more profound than mine, does not have any special expression. Following the natural man, he walked to the wrought iron English bar on the left side of the bar, where an unknown English song was swirling in his ears, and the soft melody seeped into his veins, which was very refreshing.
It's almost early in the morning, and it's the best time to club. Jiang Xijun, who was sitting on the bar, glanced around, and now the single cloth sand area was already half full, and there were already many people on the dance floor who were moving their bodies in a slow rhythm. He raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand and shook it at the aiter standing beside him, and the knowing aiter hurriedly leaned over and approached Jiang Xijun. "I booked the location ......"
"Over there in B3, it's always been reserved for you." Aiter, who already knew Kang Seok-jun's identity, pointed to a private seat a little farther away. I looked up, and there were three long strips of fabric sand spread out in a U-shape, flanked by the ring-shaped viewing glass I just mentioned.
Kang Seok-jun, who was tapping on the hardwood table with one hand on the bar, nodded, and then he shifted his gaze again. I started looking inside the bar. "What about Toby, didn't you say he'd stay at your hotel for a week?" I looked for Jiang Xijun, who had no current target for a long time. Continue to ask the aiter in English.
"Toby's bartender will be over right away." Seeing that the guest mentioned Toby, Aiter, who had heard the name too many times these days, smiled and replied.
Nodding again. Kang Seok-jun waved his hand to knock Aiter away, then turned to look at me. "Drink something?"
Sitting on the high chair, his legs pressed on the crossbar under the seat, and waved his hand at Jiang Xijun casually: "You can do it." β
Kang Seok-jun shook his eyebrows and snapped his fingers at an Asian-faced bartender at the bar. "tai1 (two cups of rusty nails)."
Not long after ordering, two cocktails made from a mixture of 1 ounce of Scotch whisky and 1 ounce of Doolin label liqueur were pushed in front of us.
Pick up the glass and pour it left and right, crushed ice mixed with crystal liquid surging in the glass. This scene reminds me of a few months ago. Rusty nails are this extremely famous cocktail. Ever been a bartender, I was all too familiar.
Just when I started to think about it again, another cup appeared in the field of vision, and Jiang Xijun's clinking of glasses interrupted my "useless" memories in a timely manner.
The crisp sound of the glass clashing was quickly drowned out by the music, and I took a sip of the wine in the glass, and just put down the glass, and several crisp sounds were captured by my ears, this time. There's no way to hide it.
Eight pairs of shoes that are no longer the same buckle on the ground, including high heels and leather shoes with medium heels, ended the mama red carpet trip. When they returned to their daily lives, they began to release their own styles.
When Girls' Generation appeared in the bar, there was an advertising slogan that perfectly explained the current situation. That's it: you're born to be the focus.
It doesn't matter if you have a female companion or if you don't have a female companion, everyone. Even women, who set their sights on girlhood for the first time.
It seems that the current situation has been anticipated for a long time. Jiang Xijun smiled, got up and raised his hand, and it was still those two fingers that were shaking.
Jiang Xijun, who stood out from the crowd, just stood up, and the sharp-eyed Yuna saw us. Yun'a, who was wearing an anete abstract gray long-sleeved sweatshirt and showed a pair of white and tender long legs, waved her small hand to the Ernies beside her, and took the lead and walked towards us.
The original bamboo green atmosphere in the bar seems to have added a touch of pink because of the arrival of the eight. The eight who came over with small steps waved their hands at me and Jiang Xijun casually, and then they all sat on the high chairs in front of the bar.
The chatter was heard again, especially in Sunny, who was the home of the drunkard Soon-gyu.
Sunny had just sat down in the chair and didn't wait for Kang Seok-joon to speak, and after discussing with the members, Sunny took on the posture of a big sister, and she snapped her fingers at the bartender in the bar, her red lips pursed. "Eight glasses of Alexander."
Jiang Xijun, who was sitting on the side, was also a little drunk when he saw these few people coming up and drinking without saying a word. Wiping his eyebrows, he quickly waved his hand at Sunny. "Ah, there's going to be a famous bartender coming, are you sure you're going to start drinking now?"
Sunny, who was already dangling to the music, glanced at the wine glasses in front of the two of us, put on a nonchalant expression, and lazily threw us a sentence: "A glass of Alexander, but it's just an appetizer." β
Holding the wine glass in both hands, I glanced sideways at the deflated Jiang Xijun and smiled very relaxedly.
After a while, Sunny's eight-cup Alexander was pushed onto the bar. In the cute shaker cup, the coffee-colored liquid seems to be surging. The aroma of brandy, the softness of cocoa, and the richness of whipped cream make this cocktail soft and smooth on the palate.
The first glass of wine, no surprise, was to celebrate the TTS award. A few of the people sitting at the very edge left their seats with their wines and came over to join us.
The aroma of wine and many inexplicable fragrances permeated the air, and in a small cheer, many glasses collided.
Through the walls of the cup, through the liquid in the cup, I suddenly appeared...... Everyone's appearance became blurred.
However, after drinking the wine in the glass, I realized that in fact, everyone was really clear. (To be continued......)
