Chapter 27: Christmas in Hong Kong

What Liu Min said to Shen Pei a few days ago has been lingering in her mind. Originally, marrying Chen Erdong seemed to her to be a matter of time, but during this time, the relationship between the two did not become more stable with the increase in the time of communication, but made her more and more insecure, coupled with the existence of Han Qingyu, she decided to follow her mother's advice to have a showdown with Chen Erdong and settle the marriage.

As the saying goes, it is easier said than done, and Shen Pei did not speak for a long time about the showdown, either the time was not ripe or the words came to his mouth and swallowed into his stomach, and unconsciously dragged on until the end of the year.

During these days, Chen Erdong still maintained a state of workaholic and social freak, Shen Pei only had to find fragments to get along with him, and even when he had a birthday in September, he was hastily eaten by Chen Erdong from Jane.

What bothered her even more was that all kinds of people she had never seen before appeared in Chen Erdong's space, both men and women, and judging from the content of the message, they had a lot of friendship.

Shen Pei looked at them one by one like Han Qingyu, and there were many beauties among them. These few months can be said to be the most torturous months since Shen Pei and Chen Erdong have been dating, there is no emotional exchange and no sweet date, she is depressed all day long, and she is entangled in the matter of marriage, until the beginning of December, she received a call from Lu Yun.

"Xiao Pei, let's go to Hong Kong this Christmas." Lu Yun asked.

"Huh? So suddenly, how did you think about going to Hong Kong? ”

"I asked Xiaodong, and I don't know what I'm busy with, he said ask you, you decide."

"Sister, does he want to go by himself?" Before, Shen Pei nodded and agreed that it would not take more than a second, but now in her state of mind, she has no desire to have fun, and she thinks that Chen Erdong is just making an excuse and kicking the ball to her.

"What do you care about him? Do you want to go? I have a good hotel and air tickets, book now, you can also get a discount, it's a good deal, I also did it, delicious and fun, and Disney, haha, it's exciting to think about. Between Lu Yun's words, it was as if she was already on the streets of Hong Kong, and she was excited.

"Sister, I don't know." Shen Pei's voice was very low.

"What's wrong with you? Feeling bad? Lu Yun was confused.

"Your brother is very busy now, it's difficult for me to meet him, and he doesn't pay much attention to me, if he really doesn't want to go, forget it." Shen Pei's grievances made Lu Yun very angry.

"What is he going to do with this stinky boy? Don't be sad, I'm going to clean him up, it's amazing to be a boss! ”

"Sister, don't talk about him, I'll ask him at night, if he really wants to go, I'll tell you." Shen Pei knew Lu Yun's temper and didn't want to make trouble.

"You're all right, did he bully you? If you tell me, I don't protect my shortcomings. The more Lu Yun listened, the more she felt that something was wrong.

"No, he's just busy, so busy that I don't even know if he'll marry me." The voices that should have been complained to Chen Erdong were all transferred to Lu Yun after holding back for a few months.

"This Chen Erdong, okay, you ask him at night, you must let him come, I will be in charge of you in Hong Kong at that time, I see if he dares not to marry you, if you want to get married, just get him to Hong Kong, with me, what are you afraid of!" Lu Yun wasn't joking.

"Sister, really? I was going to die of sorrow, and my mother asked me to talk to him about marriage, and I still don't know what to say. Shen Peifang saw a savior.

Going to Hong Kong for Christmas is Lu Yun's plan, she and her husband Jing Neng are preparing to have a child in 08, so before pregnancy, seize the time to go out for a walk.

In those years, Hong Kong was fascinating, a shopping paradise, a food capital, and Disneyland, but it was not as depressed as it is now.

At that time, most of the tourists to Hong Kong were middle-aged and elderly tour groups, and there were not many young people who went to play on their own, after all, it cost a lot of money to go to Hong Kong, and the prices in Hong Kong were originally high, plus shopping, at least tens of thousands per capita.

Although Christmas is a foreign festival, but does not affect its influence in the country, the Chinese people are deeply influenced by Western culture, Christmas has become a fashion, Hong Kong Christmas atmosphere not to mention, the British rooted in many years, in the hearts of many Hong Kong people, the importance of Christmas is even no less than the Spring Festival, but in recent years, with the strong rise of China, the Chinese people are no longer keen on the pursuit of foreign festivals.

The last time Lu Yun returned to Jincheng, she came back to save her relatives after getting married, and she and Chen Erdong hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and it was Christmas, and the first thing that came to mind was this younger brother who was closest to her.

For the sake of insurance, Lu Yun made a phone call to Dong Yuhua, she was worried that Dong Yuhua was not worried about Chen Erdong's travel, and the reason why she told Dong Yuhua was because he, like Chen Erdong, was extremely afraid of Chen Mowen.

Lu Yun's mother Chen Yizhi is Chen Mowen's own sister, who has been working in the field for a long time, Lu Yun inevitably lived with a strict uncle when she was young, whenever Chen Erdong was reprimanded, she was always implicated, and after a long time, there was naturally a shadow.

In the evening, Shen Pei and Chen Erdong talked on the phone, Chen Erdong did not shirk, and promised to go to Hong Kong with Shen Pei, in fact, he was not interested in Christmas, but he was still looking forward to getting together with his sister, and now that he has some money in his pocket, he will not care too much about the cost, so he asked Shen Pei to go to the details of the trip with Lu Yun.

Shen Pei was overjoyed by this result, although she was happy to travel with Chen Erdong, but more importantly, this trip to Hong Kong, with Lu Yun's support, her life's events can be settled.

The final trip was scheduled for 2 p.m. on December 22, arriving just before Christmas Eve. The usual Christmas carnival starts on the 24th, and the hotel chooses the bustling Causeway Bay.

The day before leaving was Friday, Chen Erdong arranged the work in hand, as well as Lin Daqi's purchasing list, and was about to go home to pack his luggage, Shen Pei couldn't hold back his excitement and drove him home.

On the way, Chen Erdong pondered about the company's affairs to see if there were any omissions in work, although he only went out for five days, he was not at ease.

For a long time, the company's operation and management has been his sole leader, and Lin Daqi only focuses on the design itself. Seeing that Chen Erdong didn't seem to be interested in traveling, Shen Pei happily opened the conversation:

"Gong, what do you want to eat most when you come to Hong Kong?"

"Huh? What? Chen Erdong was a little absent-minded.

"I asked you what you want to eat in Hong Kong?" If it was ordinary, Chen Erdong's perfunctory attitude Shen Pei would definitely complain.

"There's nothing special to think about, frozen lemon tea, barbecued pork rice, what else?"

"You really haven't pursued it, can't Jincheng eat these things?"

"It's not as authentic as Hong Kong."

"I haven't seen your sister for a long time, I really miss her, do you say that your brother-in-law will say a few more words this time, I remember last year in Tianjin, your brother-in-law simply cherished the words as his life."

"He doesn't talk much, so he can talk to my sister more."

"That's for sure, if you can't say a few words to your sister, then what kind of marriage are you going to get? Their wedding was so good at that time, I cried so much, I don't know what our wedding will be like? ”

Shen Pei couldn't help but talk about marriage, in fact, she didn't plan to talk to Chen Erdong about this, but left everything to Lu Yun to decide, but the words came from the heart, and the thing she was most worried about in her heart was so easy to overflow.

Chen Erdong didn't respond, and Shen Pei asked, "Why don't you speak?" Didn't you hear me? ”

"Oh, I hear you."

"Didn't you think about what our wedding should do? Chinese? Western-style? ”

"It's early, what do you want to do now?" The two words that were still early instantly triggered Shen Pei's death hole, her conjecture was no longer conjecture, and Chen Erdong didn't want to marry her.

"It's still early? Chen Erdong, it's about to turn the New Year, won't we get married next year? So how long are you going to wait? Shen Pei raised the decibels.

"Next year's end? The company has just started, a lot of things, besides, we will only be 24 years old next year, are you in such a hurry? Chen Erdong couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw Shen Pei, and he was unwilling to back down.

"What's in your way when I marry you? Can't you fight for your career if you're married? My mom said, let's get married next year, is it so difficult? ”

"Did she say it's over? Isn't it our business to get married? What do parents follow blindly? My parents didn't come to rush me! ”

"Squeak." With a piercing friction sound, Chen Erdong leaned forward violently, and his head almost hit the windshield, which turned out to be Shen Pei's sudden brake.

"Chen Erdong, are you still talking about human language? What do you mean by my mother's blind mixing? Was it wrong for her to want us to marry? Shen Pei didn't roar, but he was even more angry than the roar, and his voice trembled violently.

"I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a matter of the two of us, you said you will get married next year, where to live, and now the company has just improved a little, but I can't afford to buy a house yet." Seeing that Shen Pei was furious, Chen Erdong adjusted his tone, not wanting to anger her anymore.

"Is the house that important? My mom will buy us a new house, can we live in it first? Can you buy it later when you have the money? Can we move in if you bought it? A series of three questions made Chen Erdong unable to parry, he calmed down and said:

"It means that I will be my son-in-law, right? Upside down? Hehe, I can't do it. ”

"It seems that my mother is wishful thinking, a piece of kindness to you has turned into humiliation, my mother is willing to hand me over to you, and help you contact the business, and said that you will be in charge of the factory when you get married, I listen to you now, I feel sorry for my mother."

Shen Pei's voice was no longer high-pitched, more like a frustrated downcast talking to himself.

"Yes, my Chen Erdong can rely on your mother today, and I will have to rely on her in the future, you will meet a good mother-in-law who has worked hard for 50 years, you are satisfied."

Chen Erdong opened the car window, lit a cigarette, the two stopped talking, the car stopped on the side of a road with dense trees, and the bright sunlight passed through the shade of the trees, and it was difficult to warm the couple's dead hearts.

"Did you never intend to marry me?" After a few minutes of stagnation, Shen Pei suddenly asked this sentence, calm and calm.

Chen Erdong was angry, Shen Pei's words sounded like a fuss out of nothing, he never regarded his relationship with Shen Pei as child's play, and even more so for the purpose of marrying her, but at this stage, his focus is on his career, and the marriage plan can be postponed for another two years, why is Shen Pei forced so urgently, such a question is undoubtedly denying him.

When he thought that he was not at fault but was still subject to trumped-up accusations, he didn't want to explain anything, and for a moment he lost his senses, and replied with the most undesirable word: "Yes." With that, he opened the car door and left.

Shen Pei looked at his departing back, two lines of tears fell together, a short trip home, it became a desperate way of love, she fell on the steering wheel and cried bitterly, the pedestrians were alarmed by the crying, and looked curiously into the car through the open window of the co-pilot.

Chen Erdong, who returned home, was not willing to give up, this quarrel was different from the past, he had a rare premonition that the song was over, and after a few words with his parents, he returned to the room, he opened the wardrobe and began to pack his luggage, maybe Shen Pei would still meet him at the airport tomorrow, or disappear into his world, but he didn't stop sorting clothes, his mind was messy, and he just remembered that he was going to get on the plane tomorrow.
