Chapter 46 Orange (9) He Chuan is so good, there is no one in the world better than him...
Lin Xia has loved Disney since she was a child. She's watched the cartoons on TV countless times. Her favorite characters are The Little Mermaid and Mulan. She's also been holding a teddy bear stuffed animal since she was a child. In kindergarten, Mickey Mouse's pencil case fell and broke, and she cried for a whole week. Just last month, she was moved to tears by the sight of Woody and his friends holding hands in the incinerator, awaiting their destruction. Disneyland is the stop Lin Xia is most looking forward to on this trip. When He Chuan first asked her where she wanted to go, she immediately said this place.
That morning, Lin Xia was excited from the moment she opened her eyes. She and He Chuan took the subway for a long time, and then got on the Disney line. The windows and rings in the car were all in the shape of Mickey Mouse, which was very cute. Lin Xia had never seen such a subway before, and she couldn't help but take out her camera to take a lot of photos.
After entering the park, she couldn't stop. Every lawn, every sculpture, every street lamp was covered with various cartoon characters, and details filled every corner. She walked and stopped, and studied each new thing for a long time. He Chuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and could only drag her forward.
Today was a weekday, so the park wasn't crowded. Unfortunately, the weather was unfavorable, with intermittent rain and many outdoor attractions closed. They regretted missing the classic roller coaster and carousel, but they did get to ride the forest raft and the spinning cup. Lin Xia's favorite was the It's a Small World ride, and she dragged He Chuan along twice, still wanting more. They'd mistakenly booked the Cantonese version of the Lion King Festival musical, leaving Lin Xia half-understanding, while He Chuan patiently translated each line for her. The float parade proceeded in the drizzle, with the characters dancing and singing enthusiastically. Lin Xia and He Chuan, wearing the park-issued plastic raincoats, squeezed into the crowd, waving enthusiastically and greeting everyone. The indoor spaceship's PhotoPass captured Lin Xia's scream of fear. He Chuan tried to keep it as a souvenir, but Lin Xia desperately tried to stop him...
Whether adults or children, coming to Disney is like returning to childhood. Here, you can forget all the troubles of the real world and have fun.
In the afternoon, the two went to a restaurant to eat. He Chuan went alone to order food. Since his girlfriend had turned back into a child, he had to shoulder the responsibility of being a parent. He carried her bag, took pictures of her, and protected her from the sun and rain. He worked hard and never complained.
Lin Xia was waiting impatiently in her seat. The cookies she brought with her were confiscated when she entered the park, so she had to rely on an ice cream to get through until now. She had almost finished all the activities she wanted to play, and she finally felt hungry.
Seeing that He Chuan had bought the things, she waved to him, and he walked towards her with a tray of food. Suddenly someone called him. He Chuan turned around and saw a tall and beautiful girl walking towards him. The two seemed to know each other. They stood there and talked for a few words. Before leaving, the girl deliberately looked in the direction of Lin Xia and waved to her.
When He Chuan came back and sat down, Lin Xia couldn't help but ask:
"Who is she?"
"It's my college classmate."
"What did you say?"
"Just saying hello. She said she brought her younger siblings to play. It was a coincidence that we met."
Lin Xia poked the curry rice in Mickey's plate with chopsticks, feeling a blockage in her stomach and throat. She muttered:
"Well, what a coincidence."
Then she felt her cheek being pinched lightly. She raised her head in dissatisfaction, only to see He Chuan reaching out to wipe her face with a napkin and said with a smile:
"She even asked me if that was my girlfriend. All my classmates knew I had a girlfriend who I chatted with online until midnight every day. "Eat well! Didn't you say you were hungry? The curry sauce splashed all over your face."
Lin Xia took the napkin, feeling a little embarrassed:
"I can do it myself."
She was just a little awkward. She had never seen He Chuan interact with other girls and had almost forgotten that he also had classmates and friends of the opposite sex, all of whom were so beautiful and outstanding. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but he was about to go abroad, facing a wider world and meeting more people. She couldn't help but feel a little worried, uneasy about the future and uncertain about the unknown.
"He Chuan, you can't like anyone else, you can only like me."
She looked into his eyes and said seriously.
He Chuan could see through her thoughts, her worries, her uneasiness, so his expression softened:
"Xia Xia, I won't."
He reached out to take the glass of Coke, casually revealing the heart-shaped bracelet on his wrist, and said meaningfully:
"My marriage is tied to you, how can I run away?"
He has been wearing it ever since she gave it to him.
Lin Xia's mood suddenly brightened, and the gloom in her heart dissipated. She scooped a large spoonful of rice and stuffed it into her mouth:
"Eat, eat! I'm so hungry!"
.
The day's trip to Disneyland ended with a fireworks show in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Lin Xia was worried that the show would be cancelled due to rain, but fortunately, the rain that had lingered for most of the day finally stopped after nightfall, and the fireworks show was held as scheduled.
With the magnificent fairy tale castle as the background, familiar animation music sounded, the fountain rose and fell, and there were colorful lights and colorful fireworks. Everything was perfect like a dream, a dream that Lin Xia had been looking forward to throughout her childhood, and at this moment, it finally came true.
It was not until He Chuan reached out and wiped her cheek that Lin Xia realized that she had been crying without knowing when.
"Why are you crying?" he asked her.
"I don't know." She shook her head. "I always feel like my childhood has ended just like that..."
Although it ended a long time ago, she didn't feel it so clearly until this moment.
The wish that I have been waiting for for so long has finally come true. After the satisfaction and joy, it brings endless emptiness.
Even if it is perfect, it is ultimately a period.
Whether it is childhood or journey, everything is coming to an end. It is time to say goodbye.
.
When leaving the park, Lin Xia was in a low mood and didn't pay much attention to the route. After a while, she realized something was wrong. He Chuan was not taking her in the direction of the subway station.
"Where are we going?" she asked doubtfully.
He Chuan smiled and said, "Don't be sad, today is not over yet."
Lin Xia was confused. She followed He Chuan onto a shuttle bus and arrived at a Victorian castle-style building complex. After entering the lobby, she saw bright lights and magnificent architecture. The retro and exquisite style combined with modern fashion, it turned out to be Disney's theme park hotel.
"Are we going to live here?" Lin Xia asked in disbelief, pulling He Chuan's sleeve.
"Wei Peng's friends might come over tonight. It's not convenient to go back home, so why don't we stay here? Don't you like it?"
"I like it, but..." Lin Xia whispered, "It's really expensive here..."
She had seen this place when she was booking a hotel online. The room was as dreamy as a princess castle, and she loved it at first sight. However, she also knew clearly that the price was not something they could afford. She just looked at it a few more times and turned the page reluctantly.
This one night is equivalent to staying in other places for several days.
"It's indeed expensive when you look at it alone, but it shouldn't be calculated that way." He Chuan said slowly, "I've already made a certain budget for your visit this time, but Xia Xia, you've been too considerate of me. You didn't buy this, didn't want that, and didn't even stay in a hotel. There's still a lot of budget left after traveling to the east and west provinces, more than enough for a night like this. All in all, I still made a profit, so Xia Xia, don't worry, just stay here."
Lin Xia was convinced by his logic and couldn't help laughing:
"How come you're so good at comforting people?"
"It's not that I'm good at comforting everyone, but I know exactly what you're thinking." He Chuan reached out and touched her head, his brows filled with tenderness, "Let's go."
"Um!"
The hotel was even more luxurious than what Lin Xia had seen online, with crystal chandeliers, printed carpets, spiral staircases, and exquisite carvings and paintings everywhere in the corridors. The room was a standard double room. Although it continued to adhere to the compact style of Hong Kong hotels, it was exquisite and cute. Classic Disney elements were integrated into every corner of the room, including disposable slippers, toothbrushes, towels... Even the room card had patterns of cartoon characters on it, which made Lin Xia love it.
The hotel has facilities such as a swimming pool and a gym. There is also a particularly large grass maze in the garden. However, Lin Xia was too tired after walking all day and had no energy to play anymore. Now she just wanted to throw herself on the snow-white and soft bed and have a good sleep!
There were two beds in the room. Lin Xia stood beside the bed, at a loss. He Chuan asked her calmly which one she wanted.
"I want to sit by the window... No, I'd rather sit by the wall, closer to the bathroom... Um, no, I'd rather sit by the window..."
Seeing that she was a little flustered, He Chuan smiled.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time to choose. I brought you here just to make you happy, nothing else. You must be tired after playing all day, so go to bed early."
Then he went into the bathroom.
Lin Xia slowly sat down beside the bed, listening to the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. Her heart gradually calmed down, but a faint sweetness and emotion seeped out of the calmness.
He Chuan is so nice, there is no one better than him in the world.
The two of them took turns washing up. Although it was a last-minute stay, the hotel was well-equipped with disposable items, so there wouldn't be any problems. After washing up, Lin Xia changed into the bathrobe in the bathroom, feeling a little embarrassed. The bathrobe was embroidered with Minnie Mouse for women and Mickey Mouse for men. It looked like a couple's outfit with He Chuan, and in such a private space, such close-fitting clothes inevitably made Lin Xia's imagination run wild, and she felt itchy inside.
After putting on the bathrobe, Lin Xia suddenly felt some pain on her back. She took off the bathrobe and looked in the mirror. She found that a red rash had appeared on her back at some point. After showering with hot water, it felt painful and itchy.
Is it a bug bite or an allergy?
Lin Xia studied it for a long time but couldn't find an answer. This position seemed inconvenient. She turned her head and looked in the mirror for a while, and her neck became sore. After hesitating for a moment, she opened the bathroom door and stuck her head out:
"He Chuan, I seem to be allergic..."
He Chuan was replying to emails on the hotel computer. He looked up at her, stunned for a moment, and asked her:
"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
So Lin Xia walked over, turned around, and pulled down her bathrobe slightly, revealing a small piece of skin at the back:
"Look, there's a rash."
Lin Xia couldn't see He Chuan's movements, but she could feel him leaning closer to her. There was a warm breath brushing against her skin. She couldn't help but shiver slightly, and then she heard his voice sounding somewhat helpless:
"Xia Xia, this isn't an allergy, you probably have prickly heat."
Heat rash? She did sweat on her back during the day, and the air was stuffy, so it was possible that she had heat rash. But it just sounded like a child. She was so old, and yet she still had heat rash.
"You've been living in the north for so long, so it's normal that you're not used to Hong Kong's climate."
He Chuan pulled up her bathrobe and patted her shoulder gently:
"Just bear with it for now, don't scratch it with your hands, it will be bad if the skin is broken."
Lin Xia nodded obediently. Her skin was indeed sensitive, and the marks left behind would take a long time to heal.
He Chuan went out and asked for talcum powder from the hotel front desk. Perhaps it was a rare request from a guest, so the waiter searched for a long time before finding a box, which was specially for babies.
But after getting the talcum powder back, she was in trouble again. Lin Xia's rashes were all on her back, and she couldn't see or reach them herself, so He Chuan had to help her apply the medicine.
Lin Xia sat on the edge of the bed with her back to He Chuan, and slowly took off her bathrobe. However, she didn't dare to take it off too much, so she only took it off halfway at the back, then reached out and pressed the front of her body with the collar of the robe.
After taking it off, the person behind him didn't move for a long time. Lin Xia was surprised:
"He Chuan?"
"Xia Xia," He Chuan's voice was a little hoarse, "You... aren't wearing any underwear?"
"Um......"
Lin Xia's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
"Underwear, washed..."
