Chapter 1 – Went to wrong room. Slept on wrong bed.
Inside the mall where the counter displayed Cartier's proposal ring, business was cold at three in the afternoon. The counter sister looked to the front of her with great enthusiasm, her one and only customer.
The man lowered his head slightly, a pair of fine-rimmed gold glasses braced on the tall bridge of his nose, looking at the diamond ring intently.
He wore a black turtleneck sweater, with vague protruding pectoral muscles on his chest. The clean lines on his neck were defined under the lights, having a sense of seductive ascetic beauty.
Under the golden light, the man's skin was pale and translucent and thorough, portraying more of his gentle temperament, as if he was surrounded by a dazzling charm, especially shaking one's heart.
"Please show me this item."
His manner of speaking was articulate, his voice clear and polite.
The counter sister's face burned as she hurriedly took out the ring from within the counter.
A 18K rose gold band, inlaid with a circle of shiny diamonds. With a neutral style, it was fashionable and novel, truly the treasure of the store.
"Mr. Song, this is from our latest season." The counter sister looked at him eagerly. Even her voice was softly whispered, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
Song Yi took a closer look. This was Shen Li's favorite style. Although the diamonds were not big enough to be an engagement ring, time was tight. He would wait until the first anniversary of their wedding to gift a big diamond ring to Shen Li.
"Help me wrap it up."
The counter sister swiftly packaged the ring, a little envious of this fiancee whom she has never met before. She had never seen a man be so pious as to choose and buy a ring. Most of the customers were men who only paid for the money while the wife did the selection of buying a ring. It was really rare to see a man who would take such small things to heart.
When Song Yi swiped the card, the counter sister gave a sincere blessing. "Mr. Song, I wish you and your wife a hundred happy years; to be in each other's thoughts forever."
Song Yi's eyes lit up, his well-curved lips curled slightly, smiling like a spring breeze. "Thank you."
This criminal smile had bedazzled the counter sister's eyes. Her heart thumped, her gaze almost floating away.
Today was a good day. Song Yi's first love, Shen Li, has returned from abroad.
Speaking of this first love, it was miserable enough to shed a tear. Shen Li was Song Yi's high school classmate. On the first day of school, Song Yi fell in love with Shen Li at first sight.
Shen Li's appearance was exactly as what Song Yi dreamed of his lover. His reddish lips, pearly teeth, huge eyes, long legs and slender waist. Every part of his body perfectly fit Song Yi's aesthetic taste.
From the beginning of high school to the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, Song Yi chased Shen Li for three full years.
On the day of high school graduation, when Song Yi plucked up the courage to confess, Shen Li blinked his eyes and said helplessly, "Wait until I come back from studying abroad. If you are still single, we will get together."
This refusal was very tactful. Emotions couldn't be forced. Song Yi admitted defeat.
But six years have passed, and Shen Li has returned to China. Today, he sent a WeChat message to Song Yi. It was a hotel address and room number with a pink heart. They were all grown-ups. Such meaning, it went without saying.
