When I woke up, the sky was full of stars, the floor-to-ceiling windows were full of bright night views of the sea, and there were many lightless pleasure boats floating on the blue sea, like fluctuating color symbols.
I PUT ON A BLUE BANDEAU DRESS, STEPPED ON JIMMYCHOO, AND UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE BUTLER, TOOK THE ELEVATOR TO THE HOTEL'S SPACE RESTAURANT FOR DINNER, AND SOON ARRIVED AT THE SPACE RESTAURANT WITH ALL KINDS OF FISH SWIMMING IN THE AQUARIUM ALONG THE WAY.
The view here is very good, the window is unobstructed, the left is the endless desert, the right is the blue sea, the people who eat here are all dressed up, the restaurant is very quiet, everyone tastes seriously, occasionally whispers, elegant music comes from time to time, the waiter in a tuxedo respectfully guides me in the direction of progress, I sit down by a floor-to-ceiling window, the waiter hands me a recipe, all in Chinese.
I ordered an Irish oyster, a foie gras, a mocktail, and a cheesecake.
The dishes were quickly assembled, I looked at the night scene outside the window boringly, licking the cheese cream on the spoon in a daze, the extremely luxurious decoration and enjoyment in the hotel did not make me feel very good, maybe because I can't remember anything, this feeling is really.... It's so depressing.
After finishing the meal, the waiter handed me a bill of $300, but I suddenly remembered that due to memory loss, I couldn't even open my mobile phone, let alone the silver/copy/card password.
"Swipe my card, there is no reason for a pretty girl to pay for it." Qingjun's melodious voice came, and I raised my head, and my gaze paused on the man in front of me.
He is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his body is slender like a natural hanger, there is no lack of literary courtesy, and his white and pure face is very pleasing.
C sat directly across from me, and the waiter next to him brought a rose, which he picked up and sniffed, and put it in the vase on the table.
"What a coincidence, you're also eating at this restaurant." C smiled at me.
I nodded blankly, I actually met C twice in this huge hotel, which is really a bit of fate.
"Thank you, I'll pay you back." I say.
C pointed at me with his slender fingers, I looked at him puzzled, and he pouted, "Card me, haven't you forgotten your password, I'll help you reset it." â
"Don't worry about the trouble at all, you can do it here, by the way, give me the ID card too, and I'll help you get it soon." He winked playfully at me.
I didn't have the idea of refusing, I took out my ID card and card from my bag and handed them to C, C took the card, glanced at it, smiled slightly, and put the card away, "The ID photo is very cute." â
My face turned red again.
"Eat with me for a while, I'll order a lobster risotto, soon!"
The rest of the guests left one after another, and only me and C were left in the restaurant.
I looked at his appearance, and I felt that the more I looked at it, the more pleasing it became..... No, it's not just eye-catching, it's familiar.
"Do you remember anything from the past?"
I was sluggish for a long time before I remembered to answer, "No." â
"Why don't you remember all of a sudden?" C frowned.
"You said you'd met me before, when did you?"
"Well, ten years ago, when we played a werewolf killing game together, J brought you here, we all treated you as J's little girlfriend, and every time Cupid ordered the two of you to be a couple." C said and took a bite of food.
"As? Isn't J my boyfriend? â
"You can say yes or no, you just weren't officially together, but all of us tacitly agreed to the relationship between the two of you."
"Can you tell me about J and me?" I looked at C with my eyes open.
"Hmm..."C paused for a moment, chewed the rice in his mouth, put the spoon down, took a sip of lemonade, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, "I haven't had much contact with you since that time, I don't know much about you and Brother J, but I have heard a story, a story that circulates in the circle of friends." â
At this time, the music in the restaurant stopped, the light seemed to become dim, and C's vision gradually became hazy, as if shrouded in a gray fog.
"Once upon a time, there was a high-ranking official with a pivotal position in the country, he was an old woman, he doted on this daughter very much, and loved her as a princess, and when he went to meet with the foreigners at the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, the high-ranking official also brought his daughter to let her experience a real princess, but what she didn't expect happened, the daughter lost her way in this gorgeous tower of the world, and lost alone, the timid daughter was frightened by the shark in the aquarium and cried, and then a guard arrived in time, He took the girl's hand and gave the girl a hug, and this hug completely took away the girl's heart. â
"The girl and the guard fell in love, but they were strongly opposed by the girl's father, the father had already set a marriage contract for the girl, the other party was a powerful young master, but the girl has changed, no longer the obedient and well-behaved little princess held in her father's hands, she carried her father behind her back to communicate with the guards, and soon became pregnant, and finally the paper could not contain the fire, and the girl's growing belly was soon discovered by her father."
"The father was furious, and forcibly knocked out the child in the girl's womb and forbade the girl's freedom, and did not allow her to step out of the door, and the love between her and the guard was like the thin paper, which was broken at the touch of a button."
"But the girl and the guards eventually broke through, and no one knows how they broke through the heavily guarded manor, but they did."
"The father's guards quickly caught up with her, and even used police dogs, forcing the girl and the guards to flee into the wilderness."
"They got rid of the pursuers, but they got lost in the wasteland, there was no end to life in the wasteland, the colder the weather became, and soon the wasteland became an ice field, the wind was so strong that it was difficult for people to move forward, the snow was so cold that people couldn't breathe, the girl accidentally twisted her foot, the guard picked up the girl, the girl's leg was accidentally bitten by a scorpion, and the guard directly sucked out the venom with his mouth."
"It's been a few days, they haven't eaten or drunk, and the girl has been having a high fever, and just when the girl was dying, the guard brought a pot of broth."
"Where's the meat?" I couldn't help but ask.
The girl asked, and the guard told her that it was penguin meat, and that the girl and the guard were able to survive.
"Finally they got out of the wasteland, they successfully met their father's pursuers, they were saved, in the ambulance, the guard and the girl silently dripped, did not speak, experienced life and death and their thoughts both changed, and finally the guard told the girl that he had nothing now, that the two of them had no future together, and that they would wait for another five years, and that after five years, if he was strong enough, if they were still unmarried, if they both still had each other in their hearts, they would come to the place where they had started, the Burj Al Arab, the most luxurious hotel in the world, Burj Al Arab Dubai. â
C took a sip of the lemon juice in his glass and looked at me as I bowed my head and said nothing, while my eyes were firmly fixed on the obvious scar on my leg.
The temperature in the room was a lot lower, the air conditioning was blowing slowly, under the dim light, I was alone in the elevator, my eyes were blank, and my ears kept echoing C's words, I don't know if it was because of the air conditioning, my head felt some pain, after leaving the elevator, I leaned against the wall, frowning uncomfortably.
.....
âJJďź I like you! It's not the kind of child who likes to play at home, it's like you and you'll like it for a lifetime! â
âJJďź I hate you, I really hate you. â
"If you lower your head, I'll tell you!"
"Because you're too tall, that's the only way I can kiss you."
.....
The pain came like a tidal wave, I couldn't breathe, and finally I was able to recover, and the memories came at me like broken glass plates. Did I say it all? But what about J? Where is J now? Now, five years later, I have come here as promised, but where is he at the moment?
The vision in front of me suddenly dimmed a lot, and I felt a biting cold on my spine inexplicably, I slowly turned my head, and suddenly my whole body trembled, and in front of me, a shark like a mountain was against the wall, and its eyes like light bulbs were staring at me.
.....
"Woooooooo Woo woo woo .... Help me.... Help...."
"Anyone.... Anyone.... Help me... I'm afraid.."
.....
Memories came flooding back with the picture of the poor little girl standing alone by the wall, and in front of her, a huge shark filled the entire wall.
And today, more than ten years later, the same picture appears again, and I am like the little girl in the picture, standing trembling in place, my hands and feet are weak, and J, the man who escaped death with me back then, has never appeared, this is the case in reality, and it is also in memory.
Suddenly, my shoulders were grabbed, and a broad figure stood in front of me, blocking the shark that was eye-catching.
Jďź Are you finally here?
I looked up, only to see that the person holding my hand tightly in front of me was C.
"Are you alright?" C looked at me nervously, and after a while, he remembered that he had been holding my hand, and then let go, "Don't be afraid, the sharks here are bred in captivity, not scary at all, and this wall is a convex mirror, so it looks so big, in fact, it is as big as a five or six-year-old child!" â
"Poof." Although I knew that he was just talking nonsense, my heart couldn't help but settle down a lot.
"Why did you come down, didn't you go back to your room?" I blinked.
"Didn't I think of you alone, although the security here is very good, but I still don't feel at ease to let a girl go back by herself, so I'm here to see you off."
Looking at me who was stunned, C bared his teeth and smiled, "Don't worry, it's just delivered to the door!" â
I bowed my head and chuckled, and stopped talking.
