Chapter 10 chapter Ten

After rushing through the check-in procedures and throwing the luggage into the room, Dai Xi couldn't wait to set foot on the Canton Road in front of the hotel.The breeze blowing from the Victoria Harbor lightly brushed the face, leaving only a slight chill, and I smelled the moisture with strands of fragrance in my nose, and every breath was refreshing.Looking forward to the right and looking up, there are many high-rise buildings on the side of Hong Kong Island. Layers of beams of light are like rainbows that soar into the sky, connecting the blue sea and the boundless starry sky, and depicting a bright and colorful night scene with a rare vertical drop.

The city that never sleeps really lives up to its reputation.At this moment, the Canton Road is bright as day, full of people, all the shops are full of brilliance and people are boiling, it seems that such a prosperous city scene has just begun and will never end. Dai Xi walked quickly through the crowd. She didn't have a clear goal, but was strongly attracted by the scenery of Victoria Harbour, and thought of going closer to enjoy it.But after walking less than 100 meters, her attention was shifted to the window next to her, which was a Montblanc specialty store. On the last day of January this year, Dai Xi received her first month's salary at work.Because she didn't work for a full month, it was only more than 6,000 yuan after tax deduction, but Dai Xi was very happy, and she had the capital to "shopping" in Hong Kong.On Dai Xi's "shopping" list, the first thing on the list is to buy a New Year's gift for Meng Feiyang.

Dai Xi walked into the Montblanc store.There were unexpectedly many customers in the store, and no one came to greet Dai Xi for a while.She casually browsed the display at the counter, and while listening to the conversations of those customers, she realized that they were all from China.Oh, Dai Xi suddenly remembered that it was the Spring Festival holiday and the domestic "shopping crowd" was still carnival in Hong Kong. No wonder it was so lively outside! Finally, a clerk came to receive Dai Xi. As soon as Dai Xi spoke Mandarin, the petite girl had a rather complicated expression on her face. Under the professional and polite smile, she faintly showed boredom and contempt.While mainland tourists bring unlimited business opportunities to Hong Kong, there are also many behaviors that disgust local residents. Dai Xi has heard about this, and she doesn't want to pay more attention to it. She just chooses gifts for Feiyang carefully.

Dai Xi is not the kind of girl who is keen on luxury goods, but she likes these finely crafted gold pens with the Mont Blanc logo very much, and likes the calm masculinity conveyed in them, which cannot be reflected by light and cheap items.It didn't take much time for Dai Xi to choose a Starwalker ice blue fountain pen. The immaculate white hexagonal star logo was skillfully suspended in the center of the pen cap, which was a very inspirational design.When paying by swiping the card, Dai Xi's heart was filled with joy. Although the money on the card was reduced by more than half, she and Feiyang both had gifts that could be treasured forever and would not be corroded by the passage of time. , depreciation, Dai Xi suddenly realized that luxury also has its benefits, it depends on how you understand it.

The other two groups of mainland customers clearly have a different understanding of luxury than Dai Xi. They struggled with the shop assistant for a long time, were still dissatisfied with the discount, and finally gave up buying.When they walked out, several people kept saying: "Hong Kong is now killing people from mainland China, but there is no discount for the Spring Festival. We might as well go to Europe to buy it, and it's not that we can't afford it..." "Yes, buy ten at a time. They still refuse to discount more..." Dai Xi's face was a little red, she took the exquisite packaging bag, and fled out of the store. "Money will multiply vulgarity", this sentence popped into her mind unexpectedly, and Dai Xi stared blankly at the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour. Why did I come to Hong Kong?

Of course she remembered her reason, for this reason, she even chose to leave Meng Feiyang during the Spring Festival holiday.Dai Xi continued to move forward with the flow of people, and walked to the beach in one go. The sea breeze was stronger than before, and the wet and cool water vapor hit his face. The high-rise buildings on the opposite side were as clear as pictures, and there were two cruise ships in the harbor under the night Passing end to end, several black seabirds flew in mid-air. It's much quieter here.Dai Xi raised her mobile phone, took a picture and sent it, and then called Meng Feiyang.

"Feiyang, I'm in Tsim Sha Tsui, have you seen the picture of Victoria Harbor?" "I just saw it, it's so beautiful! How are you? Xiaoxi, is the journey going well?" "It went well. I've already started shopping!" Dai Xi tried her best to resist the urge to tell Meng Feiyang that she bought him a gift. She really misses him. "Hehe, take it easy, Xiaoxi, don't spend all your money in one night." "You recharge my card after spending all of it!" "Ah?! That... well, I'm on call at any time, at worst, I'll rob a bank."

Both of them were silent, Dai Xi's eye sockets were wet, probably from the sea breeze... "Feiyang, what are you doing?" "I, I have been waiting for your call just now, and now I feel relieved... Well, there is nothing to do. I have an appointment to connect the hot water pipe in the kitchen tomorrow, to install the heater the day after tomorrow, and to have a classmate reunion the day after tomorrow... That's all .” Dai Xi bit her lip tightly, even if she didn't ask, she knew exactly how Meng Feiyang would spend these few days. "Xiao Xi?" Meng Feiyang asked without hearing Dai Xi's answer, "When are you coming back?" Dai Xi told him the return flight, but he wanted to ask again.

"The training lasted until the evening of the seventh day, and the flight came back at noon on the eighth day. You were already at work that day." "Yes, we won't meet until the night of the eighth day, Xiao Xi, we will have dinner outside that day, I invite you." "Okay," Dai Xi bit her lips again, and finally said what she had planned, "Feiyang, if you're bored these days, you can check out my research topics on the computer, and there's a consultation under my directory. or x's folder." "Consultant x?" Meng Feiyang didn't seem to take it seriously, "Just your English document with sex everywhere? There are a lot of professional vocabulary, it seems too laborious... What do I think that is?"

"What if you have nothing to do..." Dai Xi said coquettishly, "Psychological cases are better than novels." "Well, if it's really boring, I'll practice reading in English." "Feiyang..." Dai Xi wanted to say that I miss you very much, but for some reason she couldn't say it. There was another little silence, like transparent pearls inlaid on the continuous ring of time.Meng Feiyang said in a low voice: "Xiaoxi, it's getting late, stop wandering around outside, and go back to the hotel quickly. Be good, train well these days, don't worry about me, don't waste international calls if you have nothing to do, save some money and go Go shopping a lot. I'll wait for your return."

The phone hangs up.Dai Xi glanced at the gorgeous night view of Hong Kong Island again, then turned and walked towards his hotel.Feeling the shaking of the Montblanc paper bag on the fingers of her right hand, Dai Xi felt sore in her heart—she knew that she made Meng Feiyang sad this Spring Festival.Dai Xi has been looking forward to spending the happiest Spring Festival with her brother Feiyang every year since she was a second-year student. Meng Feiyang's father and Dai Xi's parents are classmates, colleagues and lifelong friends.Meng Feiyang's parents died of illness one after another in his last year of high school. When he was admitted to the Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade, he lived alone.In Dai Xi's second year of junior high school, his parents brought Meng Feiyang home for the first time for the Spring Festival. Dai Xi met this tall, thin, taciturn brother who was five years older than him.Since then, Professor Dai and his wife have often called Meng Feiyang to play at home, and Dai Xi is the one who pesters Meng Feiyang the most and tries every means to make him happy.Later, as long as Meng Feiyang didn't show up for a while, Dai Xi would fidget and force his parents to call him and ask him to come and play at home.After entering high school, Dai Xi became more and more powerful, and soon learned to go to the School of Foreign Trade to find Meng Feiyang by herself. Every Spring Festival in the past ten years, Meng Feiyang is like a member of Professor Dai's family, spending New Year's and New Year's Day with them.Seeing their daughter getting closer to Meng Feiyang, Professor Dai and his wife once asked Dai Xi what she was thinking.Dai Xi's answer was simple: "I just want Brother Feiyang to be happy!" "Aren't you happy without your brother Feiyang?" Professor Dai asked Dai Xi jokingly. Dai Xi thought for a while and replied resolutely: "I only know that he was unhappy before, but now he is happy. I want him to be happy forever!" Professor Dai and his wife looked at each other helplessly and smiled. This is their daughter. She turned a blind eye to so many sunny boys in front of her, but fell in love with the lonely Meng Feiyang.Just because she is so sensitive and enthusiastic, she will be attracted by the deep pain of the heart, and she is willing to pay the most delicate emotions to understand and comfort this pain.Dai Xi would choose psychology as a major, which is really normal. For Meng Feiyang, she gave up further studies in the United States, which is also in line with her nature.Dai Xi couldn't bear Meng Feiyang's sadness at being separated from her. Since she was fourteen years old, she regarded herself as his closest relative, and also regarded his happiness as her greatest responsibility. But this time, Dai Xi made a choice different from the past.She can explain to Meng Feiyang in this way: Although she gave up her psychology major, now she has an opportunity to complete the first and last real case of psychological analysis and treatment in her life. for her dream of pursuing a career in psychology.With this explanation, Meng Feiyang will definitely support her. The problem is, even this explanation cannot convince Dai Xi himself.If it is said that in junior high school, she was only unconsciously attracted by the pain in her heart, then this time, Dai Xi realized this attraction with a deep self-consciousness, and clearly felt the growing emotion in her heart—— Dai Xi I came to Hong Kong just for the consultant x. Because Dai Xi believes that "he" needs her, and even "he" himself may not really understand the extent of this need. Thinking of this, she stopped unconsciously and turned her head, trying to find the majestic figure of the Four Seasons Hotel from the pile of splendid jade pillars soaring into the sky.Well, Dai Xi found it. It's just across the harbor. Her training will start in this hotel tomorrow. According to the schedule, Dai Xi will be able to meet Li Weilian there tomorrow morning.
