【Chapter 34】The Night at the Hotel (1)
【Chapter 33】The night at the hotel
My hand was tightly grasped in the palm of his hand, and the heat coming from his hand made me feel hot. I looked at the back of his head the whole time, and I didn't care if I would meet any acquaintances as I swept around.
My hands and body gradually heated, and the heat traveled down my arm to my heart, so hot that it began to shake wildly and thump out of control.
My heart was beating so fast that I felt like it was going to pop out of my chest, so fast that it was a little hard for me to breathe.
At that moment, I walked mechanically, for fear that I would not be able to catch up with him, and even more afraid that he would suddenly throw away.
Molybdenum Dulihao, this palatial hotel, seems to have just opened, he pulled me all the way forward, passing by the hall, he said to the two staff members who came onto him: "The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for two, the alternative plan, was delivered to my room." ”
He seems to come often? I looked at Hua Ming in surprise.
And the two staff members also stared at Hua Ming holding my hand in slight surprise.
It was only for a moment, and they nodded quickly: "Yes, you still need..."
He raised his hand, and the man said nothing.
And I, with a buzz in my head: for two...
It's for two.
This Chinese New Year's Eve, is he going to spend it with me?
At that moment, indescribable happiness slid across my heart.
A few days ago, I was sitting on the bus to the Guanlin Wholesale Market, passing by the building of Molybdenum Dulihao, and at that time, I was still sighing from afar that a mobile phone-like architectural shape was innovative, unique, magnificent and majestic!
Now, I am accompanied by the equally dazzling Fu Huaming, hand in hand. The huge columns in the hall, the bright décor, this is a hotel that is so clean that my eyes sting a little.
I was very apprehensive and very happy.
I silently looked at his trench coat sideways, looking at his ears, high nose bridge, and handsome side face.
As if he had been staring at me for a long time, he turned his head, as if he had just caught the joy in my eyes that could not be concealed.
I saw it, and his eyes lit up.
However, the elevator door opened towards us, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment when it was time to get on the elevator.
Yes, he didn't step forward.
My heart shuddered as I watched him turn his head and watch him hand me a room card and luggage one by one.
I was so well-behaved at that moment, I took it in a daze, nodded all the time, and listened to him explain:
"Liu Zijun, I still have some things, at this moment, I won't go up."
The tendons in my palms tightened and I lowered my head silently.
He continued to look at my head and said, "Liu Zijun, inside is the New Year's gift I picked for you a few days ago, and it is a new clothes." ”
I couldn't help but see some water in my eyes, and I let out a low "um" sound.
Hua Ming stretched out his hand to lift my face, and then he lifted my jaw with both hands, he looked at me and said firmly: "Old rules, don't refuse, don't ask why, you just need to believe in me, an old classmate, you go up, take a good shower, put on new clothes, and give yourself a new year." You must have eaten a very monotonous meal in the dormitory for a few days, be careful that you fall ill again one day..."
"I—I have a pot, and I eat hot porridge..."
My voice was so small that it seemed to be heard by me alone, and I lowered my head again, fleeing from his palm.
He continued to lift my jaw and continued:
"Zijun, life is still very long, you have to cherish it, don't always imprison yourself in the past, grieving for too long will not do the slightest benefit to your body. Past is over, you see, tomorrow you will usher in a new year, just helped you order a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it should have been a steaming Chinese meal in the traditional Spring Festival, but, I want you to know that there are many beautiful things in this world that you have never seen before..."
Don't always imprison yourself in the past? It's over, it's over...
How did he know what had happened to me in the past?
If he knew, what would he think of me? …
I couldn't imagine that I gave up my thoughts that were about to fall into a gloomy, looked up nervously, and with one free hand, I grabbed his arm tightly:
"Y-Are you leaving?"
"Well, I have some things that I can't stay here."
The corners of my eyes were sore, and I wanted to blur my eyes for a moment, and my heart suddenly became empty.
"However, I'll come over later tonight, Zijun, the more you are alone, the more you have to find a way to have a lively New Year, you see, God wants you to be lonely, do you have to resign yourself to fate? Don't you want to live a lively and sweet life? There is a Spring Festival Gala in the hotel TV, there are fireworks outside the window, you can even be unbearable, sleep beautifully with your head covered, and put on new clothes tomorrow, everything is new, isn't it? ”
I smiled silently in my heart: Hua Ming, in fact, I have already seen it, if I couldn't see it a little, I should have died a long time ago.
How do you know what I am griefing about?
But I was very happy to get this moment of warmth from his palm, and I slowly let go of his arm, looked up and smiled:
"Hua Ming, thank you, don't worry, I will have a good year by myself..."
"Well, you wait for me, later, I'll come over."
I nodded, took the printed bag, silently watched his tall back, and resolutely disappeared behind the revolving glass doors of the hotel.
I stood in the elevator and silently thought: he'll come over...
That night, I really gave myself a New Year's Eve.
I turned on the hot water in the hotel and soaked myself in the bathtub for 2 hours, and my skin was white and wrinkled, I don't know how complicated my mind was at that time, and I soaked myself for so long.
I hesitated, opened Hua Ming's handbag, and took out the gift.
It's all my favorite red.
I seriously gave myself a new look.
The hotel staff were very attentive, they pushed the trolley, and in front of me were all things that were very new to me, such as the milk soup sea cucumber that I had never seen before, the tribute Buddha jumping over the wall, and the steamed red king crab, and the uncooked Arctic shellfish, and the most pleasing thing to me was all kinds of fancy cakes.
For the first time, I ate so carefully and carefully.
Every time I take a bite, I glance at the door of my room, for fear that the fork and spoon will collide and make noise, and my ears are high for fear of missing the doorbell of the room.
On the brown-red striped wall panel, there is a plaque hanging calendar, and there are 20 minutes to go before the New Year's Eve.
I put down the dishes, got up and put away the hotel sofa, the bedding on the bed, and my clothes.
I lay silently under the soft quilt and watched the red letters on the wall beat.
I sighed, "It's annoying to have trouble sleeping." ”
Touching the remote control, I turned on the hotel TV screen.
It's 12 o'clock, so he won't be able to come tonight.
Yes, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion, and he and I are not relatives, but just gave me special care of an old classmate. Further back in my memory, he just knew that my situation was not very good, and gave me a pen and notebook, out of enthusiasm, to help me as a little girl.
When I was young and ignorant, I wrote a love letter.
Today, I remember, he said let me wait for him? He said that someday in the future - it will give me love.
But I—I have a past he doesn't know... Am I worthy?
I'm not worthy, how can I be worthy of such a filthy person, Luoyang Fu Jiahuaming?!
What am I doing? What am I doing here?
I no longer fantasize, I no longer listen to the door, I began to watch a person's Spring Festival Gala.
Listen to Li Yong and Dong Qing welcome the Year of the Rat together, listen to the universe celebrate the same spring, and the whole country celebrates.
The tears of the family's joy on TV brought tears to my eyes, and I looked up again and again, and they all flowed back into my eyes.
The New Year's Eve bell is finally about to ring, and Zhu Jun and Zhou Tao have just shouted "1" after the countdown on TV.
There was a knock on my door at last—
I lifted the covers, jumped over like the wind, and ran behind the door!
I suppressed the ecstasy in my heart and quickly opened the door.
When I saw the people standing in front of the door, my face turned pale!
