Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 130

The Spring Festival holiday is over and everyone is back to their busy work lives.

The studio's revenue last month was poor, the lowest since it opened.

Sang Yu thought for a long time and decided to close the store.

"Chu Jin" does not belong to her alone, and she cannot continue to operate in her current state.

After communicating with Huo Qiting, he expressed respect for Sang Yu's decision.

He said: "If you need help in the future, you can come to me. We are friends."

Sang Yu said thanks.

Huo Qiting had helped her a lot, and she was very grateful. She would always remember this kindness in her heart.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Tong Tong asked in surprise after learning about this incident.

Sang Yu stirred the coffee in front of him, his eyes calm and indifferent, "I want to go abroad."

Tong Tong thought she just wanted to travel and relax, "Where do you want to go? Can I accompany you?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, and..." Sang Yu paused, "I don't know when I will come back."

Tong Tong was stunned, and the spoon in his hand made a crisp sound when it hit the wall of the cup, "What do you mean, Yu Yu, why do you think you won't be back in a short time?"

Sang Yu nodded, "Well, I probably won't be back so soon."

Tong Tong was worried, "But, you are alone..."

It is too unsafe for a girl to go to a foreign country where she is unfamiliar with her life.

Sang Yu knew her concerns, "I can be alone and won't go to dangerous places. Don't worry."

Tong Tong pursed her lips, "Have you made a decision?"

After knowing each other for so many years, she understands Sang Yu's character. She will do whatever she decides to do and will not change her mind easily.

Sang Yu looked serious, "Well, I've thought about it."

Tong Tong suppressed her reluctance and said, "Now that you've thought about it, let's do it, but we need to keep in touch, so don't not answer the phone."

Sang Yu raised his lips and said, "Even if you call me early in the morning, I will still answer."

She just wanted to go out alone to relax, and didn't want to bring negative emotions to anyone. She didn't want to cut off contact with her friends.

Tong Tong stretched out his palm and said, "It's a deal!"

Sang Yu smiled and high-fived her, "Yeah."

Tong Tong thought of something again, "Then, have you told Xi Jinbai?"

As a bystander, she could see clearly that Xi Jinbai cared about Yu Yu very much, so how could he agree to let her leave alone.

The curve at the corner of Sang Yu's mouth faded, "I said it."

Seeing this, Tong Tong stopped interfering. Her feelings were too complicated and her own was in a mess, so she wouldn't give Sang Yu any advice.
-
That night, Sang Yu ate absentmindedly.

Xi Jinbai noticed it and didn't ask after all.

The dining table was so quiet that only the sound of chewing could be heard.

Xi Jinbai recalled for no reason that the meal they had before they separated in February last year was as quiet as now.

At that time, he never thought that one day he would regret it.

In his previous concept, feelings were unnecessary things and a burden. He already had enough and didn't need love to add to it, so he let the relationship end.

Only later did he realize that Sang Yu had already taken root in his heart, and it was so deep-rooted that he could not remove it.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. The damage has already been done, and scars will remain even if the wound heals.

After eating, Sang Yu sat on the sofa and read a book as usual.

Xi Jinbai heated up a glass of milk for her and noticed that the book in her hand had not been turned.

Sang Yu blinked his dry eyes, closed the book, held the cup and drank the milk.

She drank slowly, taking small sips.

When the cup bottomed out, Xi Jinbai took the cup and was about to take it to the kitchen for cleaning, but Sang Yu didn't let go. He put the cup on the coffee table, raised his eyes and called him: "Xi Jinbai."

This sound was like pressing the pause button. His movements when he stood up froze, and his eyes darkened a few degrees.

Before she could continue, Xi Jinbai asked, "Decided?" He knew what she was going to say.

Sang Yu swallowed and said softly, "Yeah."

Xi Jinbai looked at her and looked straight into the deepest part of her eyes, "When will you come back?"

His burning eyes made his chest feel numb.

Sang Yu didn't want to lie to him, "I don't know."

Xi Jinbai stared hard, hiding the surging undercurrent.

After a brief silence, he changed the question, "Will you come back?"

"My home is on Hong Kong Island."

Mom is also in Hong Kong Island, of course she will come back.

Sang Yu was silent for a moment, then said again: "Don't wait for me..."

Before she finished the second half of the sentence, Xi Jinbai suddenly grabbed the back of her head and kissed her.

Caught off guard, breaths intertwined, lips and teeth collided.

A numbness shot up his spine and spread to the back of his neck.

Sang Yu grabbed his clothes habitually, reacted a few beats slowly, and opened his mouth to gasp.

Xi Jin's white eyes were deep and he couldn't suppress his possessiveness and kissed her fiercely.

Sang Yu was tightly imprisoned by him, with nowhere to retreat, and she didn't want to retreat either.

It is acquiescence and connivance.

The sound of kissing lingered in my ears.

He didn't know how long the minute hand on the wall had been moving, but he withdrew meekly, his thin lips pressed against her ear, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Must you go?"

Sang Yu was dazzled, and his eyes were covered with a blurred light, but the answer remained unchanged, "Yes."

The light words fell heavily.

Xi Jinbai's heart tightened, and he let go, staring into her wet eyes, "No matter what I do, you will never look back?"

The blurred pupils reflected his chiseled features. He had always been calm, steady, cool and self-possessed, so strong that he had almost no weaknesses. But at this moment, his weaknesses were clearly exposed, and he was no longer invulnerable.

His eyes are like abyss, and you will fall into them if you are not careful.

Sang Yu's fingertips trembled slightly and he lowered his eyes, "It's my problem."

It's because she is timid and afraid of losing, so she doesn't dare to have it.

She could no longer love someone as unreservedly as she did when she was twenty-three.

Sang Fengping once told her that at any time, love yourself first.

But now, feelings are not the most important thing to her.

"It's not your problem, don't hug her." Xi Jinbai tightened his arms and hugged her.

He was wondering if they wouldn't be like this if they hadn't separated at the beginning.

Or, if there had been no accidents when she was a child, and she was the princess of the Ji family, then their marriage would be justifiable.

Thinking about it in the end, he felt that he was crazy. What he used to disdain the most was making useless assumptions, which could not solve any problem except wasting time.

"Xi Jinbai, you are very good. There is no need to blame yourself. It's just that we were not destined and missed it." Sang Yu didn't want him to regret what happened before.

No fate...how could there be no fate? The abbot of Ling'an Temple all said that she was a good match.

Just because you missed it doesn’t mean you won’t start again in the future.

She needed time and space and he could let go for a while.

In the end, Xi Jinbai only said four words: "I will wait for you."

No matter how long it takes.

At that moment, he understood that liking is possession, and love is fulfillment.

Sang Yu pursed his lips and hesitated, wanting him not to wait, but knowing that he wouldn't listen.
