270: Chapter 216: Lu Yinchu, I Need an Explanation from You_1 270: Chapter 216: Lu Yinchu, I Need an Explanation from You_1 At twelve noon, the plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport.
When she disembarked, Nanxi felt as if everything was a dream.
While she was on the plane, 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 â in a place 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 hadnât 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, âMiss Gu, we have arranged a place to stay.
Shall we go now, or should we go after lunch?â
Nanxi blinked and said, âLetâs go drop the luggage first!â
Mo Yan nodded, protecting Nanxi as they walked through the crowded airport.
At the entrance, Mo Yanâs phone rang.
He answered it, and Nanxi heard a few disjointed words: âYes, hm, donât worry, we are on our way nowâ¦â
Nanxi probably knew who was calling.
Mo Yan didnât say much before handing the phone to Nanxi, âMiss Gu, Mr.
Lu wants to speak with you!â
Nanxi paused before taking the phone and saying nothing.
The man at the other end tentatively called out, âNanxi?â
âHmm.â Nanxi responded, her voice not very loud, but the man heard her clearly.
âAre you tired?â Lu Yinchu asked her.
âNot tired!â
âRemember, promise me, no crying!â
ââ¦â Nanxi was taken aback.
After a slight quiver of her eyelashes, she continued to nod, âHmm.â
âAlso, when you arrive at the placeâ¦donât be surprised.
Iâm on the nine oâclock flight tonight, but I might be late because I have to go somewhere else to take care of something, so, donât wait for me!â
Nanxi kept nodding, âHmm.â
Lu Yinchu didnât say anything more.
After the two of them were silent for a few seconds, he sighed, saying, âNanxi, wait for me!â
Donât wait for me, wait for me, these two âwaitâs 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 black 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 plan 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 wasnât even a hint of a Hong Kong accent in his speech!
The manâs 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 occasionally glanced 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?
âMiss Gu, you lived in Hong Kong for many years, didnât you?â Chen Wei suddenly asked.
Nanxi was startled before responding, âYes.
For about ten years or so!â
Chen Wei laughed, âItâs rare, you donât have an accent at all!â
Nanxiâs eyes flashed.
Indeed she didnât have much of a Hong Kong accent, which surprised many people.
However, when explained, it wasnât really surprising at all!
Because of her motherâs 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 didnât want the day to come when she and Nanxi returned to their hometown, and Nanxi would speak in a distorted version of their native dialect!
She didnât like that and didnât 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 place the car was slowly getting closer to was her familiarâ¦
home.
From afar, she seemed to have already seen that white balcony â 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 yardâ¦
