Chapter 174: Do You Smell Flowers?
Although Xia Ling was afraid of his little uncle, he still couldn't help but complain like a child when he had elders:
"What's going on with this hotel? We went to the hot springs, and halfway through the street, the lights were all off! Scared the hell out of me!"
"It should be a short circuit in the power lines caused by heavy snow and low temperatures, and there is only a small power outage, and the hotel has backup power, which will be restored soon."
The man's voice is not hurried, as if he is reciting a leisurely poem, calmly everywhere.
Xia Ling wowed, "Little uncle, you are the same as Dai Dai's analysis."
"Oh?"
Xia Ling pulled Ming Dai in a row:
"I almost forgot to introduce it! Dai Dai, this is my little uncle and Twilight. Uncle, this is my best friend, Ming Dai."
"Hello."
Mingdai was the first to nod, a little unsure of what to call it.
The other party is actually not very old, but the sense of calmness and heaviness on his body blurs the boundaries of age, but because of this, he learns to call Xia Ling the same, will it ......
He Twilight saw Mingdai's embarrassment and took the initiative to say:
"Dai, is she? You can call me Uncle Xiao like Xiao Ling."
「…… Little uncle."
Twilight hummed softly, and then returned to Xia Ling's gaze.
"You're going to the hot pool?"
"yes, the room is bored, and I want to go to the public bath, who knows...... Sizzle."
Xia Ling hugged his arms and shivered from the cold wind.
The two thought that they could reach the hot spring pool by trot, but when they came out, they only wore thin bathrobes, how could they have stood for so long in this cold winter wind!
The meticulous Twilight noticed, tilted his head slightly, and the secretary who followed silently like a shadow immediately understood, and handed out the cashmere scarf that belonged to Twilight on his arm.
"Only one piece, sorry." The secretary bowed apologetically.
"When did you come?"
"I've been standing here, Miss Xia."
"Hmm...... Give the scarf to Dai."
Xia Ling didn't even hesitate, so he put the woolen shawl on Ming Dai's shoulder.
Ming Dai just wanted to say no, but Xia Ling insisted on pressing Ming Dai's shoulder with her hand, and she had to be prevented from taking it off.
Ming Dai had no choice but to accept this kindness.
A soft-as-you-go cashmere scarf was draped over her shoulders, warming away the chill and enveloping her.
"Thank you." Mingdai said this to Twilight.
Twilight smiled, not paying attention.
Instead, he said, "It's almost time."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if in response to his words, thousands of lights gradually lit up in the buildings along the verandah and beyond, and the light dispelled the darkness, bringing a steady stream of security.
Xia Ling sighed: "The electric light is indeed the greatest invention in the world."
As he spoke, he sniffled.
Ming Dai noticed it for the first time and pulled Xia Ling's sleeve:
"Are you cold? Don't catch a cold."
I thought about dividing the cashmere scarf into half of Xia Ling, anyway, the scarf was long enough.
"It's okay, we might as well go to the soup pool first. Okay, little uncle, let's go first."
"Well, have fun."
Twilight stood in place, watching Ming Dai and Xia Ling's figures disappear at the end of the corridor.
"Sir, give me the lantern."
The secretary took the initiative to take the bamboo lantern from Kazu's hand and prepared to put it back in its place.
The lantern was originally hung on the wall to add to the atmosphere, so the candles were placed and were not affected by the power outage.
Twilight and the secretary walked halfway there, and when they saw it, they took it off and used it as a light source.
Now that the power has been restored, it's time for the lanterns to return to their original places.
Twilight stood in place and waited for two or three minutes, and the secretary hurried back after putting the lantern.
I don't know if I've been standing in the wind for a long time, and
Twilight coughed twice.
The secretary disagreed and worried, and said, "Sir, you should go indoors early to avoid the aggravation of cold symptoms."
Twilight shook her head, "I'm fine."
The tone was slight, and suddenly a sentence came inexplicably:
"Do you smell a faint scent of flowers?"
"Floral?"
The secretary looked around blankly, sniffing hard, but couldn't find the scent of the flowers that Twilight was talking about.
Could it be the illusion of Twilight alone?
"It's a green plum."
A faint smile flowed between his eyes, and he pointed to the white wall not far away.
Near the root of the wall, in the corner shaded by other trees, there is a green plum in full bloom, the petals are crystal like semi-transparent jade, and the branches are small dots, but there is a strong dark fragrance floating in the wind.
And Twilight stared at the green plum on the branch, unconscious for a few seconds.
"Sir?"
"Let's go."
*
After a lot of twists and turns, Ming Dai and Xia Ling finally arrived at the public soup pool area of the hotel.
Sure enough, the scenery here is as Xia Ling said, there are many types of soup pools, and there is a separate SPA area.
Because of the charter, there is no one in the public soup pool, and Ming Dai and Xia Ling can reasonably enjoy all the resources here.
Xia Ling finally called the hotel and mentioned the power outage tonight, and the other party was also apologetic.
Xia Ling thought that this hotel had changed hands: "...... Forget it." You can't bother with your uncle, right?
Then I ordered two more meals, and by the way, I asked the hotel to arrange for a therapist to come over.
While waiting, the two of them soaked in the soup pool.
The biting coldness that had just stood in the cold wind was nothing left in the dense heat.
Xia Ling took a promotional material from the shelf next to him, probably to tell the hotel guests what attractions and places to play in and around the hotel.
It's the first time Xia Ling has seen this, and he flipped it twice, not interested in anything else:
"This booklet says that the sunrise on the mountain is beautiful, or we should get up early tomorrow to see the sunrise?"
"Can you get up on time?"
Ming Dai herself can, but she is more worried about Xia Ling.
Xia Ling was asked, and first took his mobile phone to check the sunrise time tomorrow.
Seeing this, he was full of confidence, and immediately swore and said:
"It's only seven o'clock! Tomorrow I will definitely wake up on time and go up the mountain to watch the sunrise!"
"It takes time to climb the mountain, plus washing...... About six o'clock?"
This time, Xia Ling was silent for a few seconds, and his voice was obviously not as powerful as just now.
"I'll try."
It turns out that Xia Ling has a wrong perception of himself -
The day before, Ming Dai Xia Ling and the two went to the SPA, and they were full of food and drink, and soaked in the hot springs beautifully, so they slept well at night and had almost no dreams all night.
Waiting until the next morning, Ming Debi opened her eyes first by the alarm clock, sat up slowly with the quilt, and turned her head to see that Xia Ling next to her was sleeping sweetly in the quilt.
Ming Dai glanced at the time: "Ling Ling, get up, let's go see the sunrise?"
Xia Ling buried his head deeper, and muttered indistinctly: "Sleep a little longer...... I'll sleep a little longer......
Ming Dai was so helpless that she could only get out of bed first to wash and change clothes
Ten minutes later, she shook Xia Ling again and urged her to get up.
Xia Ling slept peacefully, not moving at all.
It seems that this sunrise, only Ming Dai can go alone.
I really didn't finish writing at two o'clock in the morning, and I will write again tomorrow, and I will write it in the afternoon.
I swear I'm going to change my routine!
