When she disembarked, Nanxi felt as if everything was a dream.
While she was on the ne, she had been trying to prolong this dream and drag it out.
She wished the time of the dream could slow down just a bit, just a bit more.
But to her surprise, the short two hours, had already settled her dream — in a ce that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her.
It turns out, it only takes two hours from H City to Hong Kong.
Even though it was so close in time, she hadn’t been back for six years.
Six years, over two thousand days and nights, what was she alone guarding and fearing?
What made her run away for six years?
Mo Yan was carrying luggage and said to her, “Miss Gu, we have arranged a ce to stay.
Shall we go now, or should we go after lunch?”
Nanxi blinked and said, “Let’s go drop the luggage first!”
Mo Yan nodded, protecting Nanxi as they walked through the crowded airport.
At the entrance, Mo Yan’s phone rang.
He answered it, and Nanxi heard a few disjointed words: “Yes, hm, don’t worry, we are on our way now…”
Nanxi probably knew who was calling.
Mo Yan didn’t say much before handing the phone to Nanxi, “Miss Gu, Mr.
Lu wants to speak with you!”
Nanxi paused before taking the phone and saying nothing.
The man at the other end tentatively called out, “Nanxi?”
“Hmm.” Nanxi responded, her voice not very loud, but the man heard her clearly.
“Are you tired?” Lu Yinchu asked her.
“Not tired!”
“Remember, promise me, no crying!”
“…” Nanxi was taken aback.
After a slight quiver of her eyshes, she continued to nod, “Hmm.”
“Also, when you arrive at the ce…don’t be surprised.
I’m on the nine o’clock flight tonight, but I might bete because I have to go somewhere else to take care of something, so, don’t wait for me!”
Nanxi kept nodding, “Hmm.”
Lu Yinchu didn’t say anything more.
After the two of them were silent for a few seconds, he sighed, saying, “Nanxi, wait for me!”
Don’t wait for me, wait for me, these two ‘wait’s meant entirely different things!
At that moment, Nanxi felt a vague sense of sorrow in her heart.
She had the eerie sensation that he was waiting for her!
At the airport entrance was a ck Rolls-Royce Phantom already waiting for them.
Nanxi was a little surprised, but then thought about it and felt that this was quite ordinary.
After all, Lu Yinchu was someone who liked to n ahead, so since he had decided to bring her to Hong Kong, he must have prepared everything beforehand!
Nanxi got in the car, and Mo Yan sat in the passenger seat.
The driver was a man in his thirties, but there wasn’t even a hint of a Hong Kong ent in his speech!
The man’s name was Chen Wei.
His name was simple, and he was quite sociable.
He seemed to get along well with Mo Yan, even though the two of them only exchanged a few words.
Chen Wei asionally nced at Nanxi in the back seat, which made her slightly nervous.
She figured it was because he was curious about her identity.
What was her status now?
“Miss Gu, you lived in Hong Kong for many years, didn’t you?” Chen Wei suddenly asked.
Nanxi was startled before responding, “Yes.
For about ten years or so!”
Chen Weiughed, “It’s rare, you don’t have an ent at all!”
Nanxi’s eyes shed.
Indeed she didn’t have much of a Hong Kong ent, which surprised many people.
However, when exined, it wasn’t really surprising at all!
Because of her mother’s wistfulness, Nanxi had been rigorously corrected on her pronunciation since childhood.
Her mother always said that as a Chinese person, she should speak fluent Chinese!
She also said that she didn’t want the day toe when she and Nanxi returned to their hometown, and Nanxi would speak in a distorted version of their native dialect!
She didn’t like that and didn’t want it to happen.
There was a bit of traffic on the road, which was normal.
Hong Kong is a crowded city.
The same as it was ten years ago, it now seemed like nothing had changed after six years, yet everything had.
The car had been ambling along for over half an hour.
When the familiar scenery, roads, and houses gradually came into view, it was impossible for Nanxi not to be shocked!
The ce the car was slowly getting closer to was her familiar…
home.
From afar, she seemed to have already seen that white balcony – when she was very young, her father often took her to count the stars on the balcony!
She also saw the row of sunflowers grown in the corner of the balcony and in the yard…
