Chapter 41: Chapter 8. Hilton? Shanghai(3)

After a day and a night of jet lag, I went out alone to take a taxi and get ready to wander out. Shanghai is already hot at the end of May, and there is still a lingering heat when you go out in the evening.

A person stands on the side and looks at the Oriental Pearl Tower and the cruise ship on the Huangpu River opposite, there are no pigeons in Central Park, no carriages and no smell of horse manure. I walked all the way and found a sales point selling ferry tickets, I didn't have a long queue, spent 120 yuan to get a ticket, and walked all the way to the 16 shop pier according to the instructions.

While waiting in the waiting area, Sano called and asked me where I was, I said I was outside, and he asked me where I was, and I told him the exact address and asked him if he wanted to come.

"I have to work overtime at night." He said.

"Well, anyway, when you come over, the ship will leave."

"I just had dinner and want to call you to hear your voice, so let's hang up the phone and see you in the evening."

"Bye-bye."

I said, with a little bit of unhappiness.

The cruise ship went around the Huangpu River for more than forty minutes, and I stood on the edge of the railing, a little bored and didn't want to sit in the cruise, but vowed never to do such a boring thing again.

I was a little tired, so I had a casual dinner at a roadside shop and went back to my hotel in Pudong.

Shaye came back at half-past eight, earlier than I expected. He went to take a shower, saw me lying sullenly in bed, and asked me what was wrong.

I coquettishly told him: "You don't play with me, so what's the point of me coming?" ”

"Shall we go out now?" He walked over to the bed, crouched down and asked me, holding my hand with both hands.

"Don't go!" I turned around and deliberately didn't want to look at him.

He was silent for a moment, trying to coax me: "Then I'll call and order two meals." ”

"I've already eaten it alone!"

"But I haven't eaten yet, and I'm coming back from overtime, hungry. Let's go for a walk on the day we go, shall we? ”

"Didn't you say you had eaten when you called at night?"

"It was dinner, and now I need a little late-night snack...... Wherever you want to go, we'll go now. ”

I'm actually very soft-hearted in the face of the people I care about, and I won't be angry anymore if he comes and goes like this.

"Shall we go to the City God Temple? I checked it out and there was something delicious over there! ”

"Okay, then I'll change my clothes."

"Yay!"

I happily jumped up from the bed and hugged him, then kissed him several times. He reached into my clothes, and I grabbed his hand and said, "I haven't lost my breath yet, I'll talk about it when I'm done." ”

I got down from him to change his clothes, and happily dragged him out to walk around the Old Town God's Temple. He told me that he thought it was unhygienic and that he wasn't interested in it, but in the end I ate two more skewers of squid. We went back after eating, and Shaye's voice was a little hoarse, and he seemed to be very tired, and when I looked back at him, I found that he had already fallen asleep.

I suddenly felt a little guilty, he had been at work, but I still dragged him out, and even if he did, I should have dragged him into the store for dinner.

Until the last day, when he finished his work half a day early, he asked me where I was going. But this time I have a long memory, and I said that it would be good to walk around for a while. So we went to the Bund again, there was a double-decker bus on the side of the road, and we waited for a long time to finally get the double-decker bus without a roof, and we were even more happy to grab the first row.

The red bus started to make a roundabout, and then I begged the passengers in the last row to change seats with us, and they were surprised that I was willing to swap the two best seats in the first row.

Shano wasn't puzzled, but they were happy to change. He asked me why, and I bowed my head and smiled lightly.

The bus kept moving forward, the scenery of Shanghai came into view, the moon flowers had opened, the cool breeze was blowing on our faces, my skin was a little cool, at that moment, we looked at each other, I remember I smiled very sweetly, and then put my arms around his neck, and we kissed.

"I see." He said, with an infatuated look on his face.

I let go of him and whispered, "Am I not at all like a Japanese or Chinese girl?" ”

I motioned for him to look ahead, and there were at least seven or eight couples in the rows of seats in front of me, some of them listening to the same song, some holding hands, some leaning on each other's shoulders, some taking pictures of each other, but none like me.

I withdrew my gaze and turned to look at the sand field, and he said, "Maybe that's why I liked you in London in the first place." I like this flamboyant energy in you, promise me to always be so sunny and optimistic, okay? ”

His unexpected confession made my eyes red, and I nodded, "I'm willing to do that for you." ”

It took us three times to get out of the car, and the wind was blowing for a long time, and our heads hurt a little.

We walked side by side for a while without holding hands, and he offered to take a group photo, so we found a passerby to take a group photo for us next to the 16th Shop Pier. In the photo, behind us is the towering Oriental Pearl Tower, and I am wearing a white T-shirt from a cheap shop in Flushing, with the words 'I love New York' printed on it, which is as monotonous as the white sweatshirt, and Shano is wearing a black Asics T-shirt, and I put my head on his shoulder, and we are laughing happily.

After thanking us, we continued to wander around the Huangpu River, and then huddled on the shore to chat about the scenery. A girl next to me looked at her phone and turned around, and suddenly a mouthful of water sprayed on me. Seeing that she had made a mistake, she slipped her phone into her jeans and apologized to me. I frowned and shouted, "What are you doing?" ”

I stared at her, this girl had shoulder-length curly hair, dark eye shadow, and clothes that looked like a sister, but I also knew to apologize: "I'm sorry, sister, I'm looking at my phone, it's so funny I can't help it." ”

I was a little speechless, remembering that if I were in the UK, I would have pulled each other to argue non-stop.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She took out a tissue and pointed to my shirt, "Sister, do you want to wipe it yourself?" ”

"Are you alright?" Sano asked me.

"I'm furious." I said, "You know, if I were in London, I would have put her in the hospital." ”

Shano laughed. The little girl was a little stunned when she heard this, and said, "Sister, if you're okay, then I'll leave first?" ”

She stole a few glances at me, and when she saw that I didn't say anything more, she walked away quickly.

"Oh my God." I sighed, not very impatient, "Hurry back, I want to change my clothes!" ”

We took a taxi back to the hotel on the other side, my clothes were already dry, and I still felt a little sick and changed into a different T-shirt. After changing clothes, Sano put his phone back in his pocket and said, "We're leaving in the afternoon, and two of my colleagues want to have lunch with you." ”

This time he didn't ask me if I wanted to.

Naturally, I agreed, because everyone is here, so I can't hide it.

In the afternoon, we had to catch a flight, so we chose a hot pot restaurant next to the hotel, Sichuan Spicy Pot, I think they will fall in love with it, after all, Japanese people love to eat mustard.

One of Sha Ye's colleagues is his classmate A from college, and the other is Hong Kong man B, who joined the company a few years before them.

Two Chinese and two Japanese, most of the chats are in English, fortunately they are multinational companies, and each of them speaks fluent and natural English.

"I heard that hairy belly is delicious, can you order one for me?" Classmate A said.

"Are you from Sichuan?" Hong Kong Man B asked me.

I smiled and shook my head, "No. ”

"She's from Xiamen." Sano answered for me.

"Oh, you're from Xiamen!" B suddenly switched to Chinese, "That's not far from Hong Kong!" ”

I nodded.

"Next time I have a vacation, you and Sha Ye can travel to Hong Kong, I will be your tour guide, Ocean Park is the most suitable for you."

"Okay, thank you!"

I still smiled and thanked him, but I knew in my heart that I didn't want to go back to China.

On the way to the airport, Sano showed me a photograph of my back that he had secretly taken on the Bund. Looking at my back in the photo, I remembered a sentence I had read in a book a long time ago: In the end, there is only one back left for the world.

Thinking of this, I immediately put away this sentimentality and asked him, "We are about to separate again, can I ask you a question?" ”

Shano looked at me, and I continued, "Sano, what do you think love is?" ”

Do I have a serious expression, if not serious, but not serious?

As before, he always thought about it very seriously, and then said, "I think love is enduring, and it never fails." ”

I know it's a sentence from the Bible, and Brooks said something similar.

"Hua, what do you think?"

I shook my head, "I don't know, so I'm going to find the answer in you." ”

He smiled and took my hand tighter.
