In mid-January 2017, I went to Hong Kong. It wasn't as cold as New York, and I took off my thick puffer jacket when I got out of the airport.

I didn't recognize Alice because she was fat, but her belly wasn't big, and she said she was only four months old and she wasn't pregnant.

"Long time no see, love... Liz. ”

I stood in front of her and greeted her.

"Long time no see, Hua." She's very natural.

"You're too skinny." She squeezed my arm.

"I'm losing weight."

"It's crazy, how can you be so skinny."

Alice didn't have much change in appearance, but her eyes were getting clearer.

We stood and had no topics to talk about, and suddenly we were embarrassed and cold.

"Are you okay, tired or not? Let's go rest for a while. ”

"It's fine."

She called back, and the accompanying nanny took my suitcase.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

We don't have warm hugs, no sweet names, and we all greet each other respectfully.

She lives in Repulse Bay, and I heard her say that there are many celebrities and celebrities living here, and she can also overlook the Ocean Park on the opposite hilltop, in short, the location is good and the price is expensive.

"I'm afraid you're not used to it, so I booked you a room at Zhonghao Hotel, you come to my house to sit for a while, and I'll let the housekeeper send the luggage over there for you."

"Yes, thank you."

"No problem." She came to an authentic Hong Kong dialect.

"You... How long have you been in Hong Kong? ”

We sat on wicker chairs on the balcony and chatted while drinking water.

"Five years." Alice said, "I used to be in Europe before, and then I met my current husband, who is a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong. ”

"By the way, I have a Chinese name, my name is Aiqing."

"Aiqing? Did he get it for you? You are so romantic, the homonym of love is love, love. ”

Alice laughed, "It's just a coincidence, he has a feng shui master who has been hired all year round, and he said that he was short of water, so I called Qing." ”

It dawned on me, but she smiled: "The people here believe in feng shui. By the way, shall we go shopping tomorrow? The store managers of several brands sent me a message, the new products in early spring have arrived, there must be something you like. ”

"Besides, I'm tired, I'll go to the hotel to rest first."

"It's okay, it's almost time for the butler to come back."

I took the elevator down the stairs tiredly, Alice walking in front and I following behind. The roads in Hong Kong are narrow, and you can see double-decker buses on the same roads as in London.

The sun went down, I was a little dizzy, I couldn't sleep in the car, and I didn't even take a shower after arriving at the hotel.

When I woke up, I was dizzy, and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. I pressed the automatic switch, and the curtains opened, only to find that the famous Victoria Harbour was outside, with flashing lights and shadows, and the road next to it was bustling. I leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the luxuriously decorated and expensive room, feeling humiliated.

They have a private swimming pool with just the two of us in it, and she even prepared my swimsuit for me, everything was carefully prepared, and then a smile was piled up on her face to greet my choice after choice.

"Isn't it cold to swim in winter?"

"Rest assured, the water is warm."

"You swim, I'll be with you."

"What's the matter, I'm ready to swimsuit, let's change it on."

It's not that I'm afraid of the cold, but because I haven't swam for a long time, I'm a little afraid of water; The second was that I didn't want people, especially Alice, to see the stitch marks and the scars on my wrists.

"Then you change into your swimsuit first, and when I finish swimming two laps, we'll go to the hot springs, which is comfortable."

"Do you want to take me through your life now?"

Before my words fell, Alice had already dived into the water.

I looked at her as she kept swimming forward, and wondered what was going on with the sisters in prison. Mu Mu came out earlier than me, and she said that she was going to Honduras to find her brother, and she didn't know how she was doing. We use the wahts app to connect occasionally, and the last time was on Thanksgiving.

Two laps, three minutes, after she came ashore, we walked side by side, and I walked on the side of the pool, only to be pushed down by her. I kept splashing in the water and immediately choked on a few mouthfuls of water.

I had long forgotten how to swim, and I felt like I was going to die for more than ten seconds when I choked on the water, and the feeling of being on the verge of death tormented me again.

"Save ......"

Alice went into the water and pulled me to shore, I kept coughing, my face was red, she slapped me on the back and apologized to me.

I yelled at her, "Is it fun? ”

"I'm sorry, I just wanted you to swim with me for a while."

"I said I don't want to swim!" I tried to restrain my emotions from shouting.

"What's the matter with your wrist?"

She noticed it anyway.

I immediately put my hand behind my back, "It's nothing, I accidentally got it before." ”

"Then let's go to the hot springs!"

"I don't want to go." I said, coughing a few more times, "I'm not interested, I want to rest, I just choked on water." ”

Alice then took me to a café for dinner.

"Try the rice noodles and cold tea here."

"Thank you."

"Chopsticks." She handed it to me.

"Thank you."

She glanced at me, "After so many years, I finally learned to use chopsticks naturally." ”

"Yes."

"Are you still mad about the pool? Shall I apologize to you? ”

"Nope. I... I'm going to the bathroom. ”

"There are no restrooms here."

"Okay then."

"What's wrong with you? You look very agitated. ”

"I... I forgot to bring my medicine and have had a bit of a cold lately. ”

"You have a cold? It's me who is not good, you have a cold and I pushed you into the pool. ”

I asked for a cup of boiling water and poured it, and absentmindedly ate this fat beef rice noodle, panicking.

This is the result of discontinuation of the drug.

"In the afternoon, we go shopping to buy clothes, and in the evening my husband gets off work, and we go to Victoria for dinner together, will this arrangement be too full?"

Alice smiled innocently at me, as if she had forgotten the gap between us.

"I have something to tell you."

"Let's talk about it in the evening, let's go shopping for clothes first."

When I paid the bill, I insisted on asking her, she didn't object, and the clerk sent the bill, 185 Hong Kong dollars. It's really a bit expensive, but two servings of rice noodles, one cup of cold tea, and one cup of milk tea.

"Do you feel that the prices in Hong Kong are very similar to those in Europe?"

"It's a lot like London."

"So I used to be reluctant to eat and drink so casually, only you will be like this, thank you for this meal."

Alice's driver drove us to the brand's counter. The car pulled out of the undersea tunnel, and I had no idea where I had been.

"Next to this is Hung Hom Station, do you know Hung Hom Sports Centre? Hong Kong's celebrities will hold concerts here. I love Eason Chan, he sings amazingly! ”

She looked at me happily, and I smiled perfunctorily at her before twisting my head to the other side.

I was taken into the counter by her, and stood aside, out of tune with her, waiting like a servant.

"Have your favorite Hermès silk scarf, do you want to buy one?" Alice picked one up, hung it on me, and exclaimed, "Beautiful! Do you want to buy one? ”

"I haven't been paid yet."

"How, what about your dad's card?" She put her hand in my bag, "Where?" ”

I took a step away from her, took off the silk scarf, put it on my hand, and asked her, "Is it pretty?" ”

"Beautiful."

"You still hate that, don't you? So as soon as I entered the mall, he pulled me to this store. ”

"How, you're my best sister, and I know best what you like."

"You're enough." I said, "That's not at all." If you want to show off, you did. Can I go? ”
