""Qi Lier" shared an article: "The Top 10 Restaurants in Floating Star City for Couples Dating! Each one is a holy place for confession!""
""Vincent" shared the article: "The most romantic restaurant! These places, take your boyfriend and girlfriend to TA! ""
Vincent: "Friendly reminder, tonight's restaurant is very difficult to book, special measures can be used if necessary"
Xu Xinghe: "You mean hacking into their ordering system?"
Qi Lier: "Brother, can you be a little aware of being a marshal's partner, can you just ask the people below to help you order it?"
Xu Xinghe: "...not good: )"
Lin Qi: "Stop it, I think you guys are targeting me"
Lin Qi: "Have you ever heard that a wise man doesn't fall in love?? If you fall in love too much, you will lose your wisdom!"
Lin Qi: "Stop talking, smart people are writing papers!"
Xu Xinghe: "Let's go, it might be more inspiring to write a thesis on the night of the first snow: )"
After Xu Xinghe replied, he clicked on the recommended restaurant sent by Qi Lier and Vincent, and displayed the restaurant introduction on a split screen.
From the cloud dinner suspended in the sky to the elegant and unique waterfront pavilions, there is no shortage of romantic and beautiful high-end restaurants in the Star City. Xu Xinghe read through the menu introductions one by one, finally selected one, and dialed their reservation number.
However, as Vincent expected, the customer service lady on the phone told him very gently that all the tables for tonight are fully booked.
Xu Xinghe had no choice but to look for another restaurant, but he called and called again and again, but none of them had vacancies!
Just like Vincent said, tonight is the first snow in Star City.
Since the day when the snowfall arrangement was announced, the popular restaurants in the city have been booked up one after another by young lovers.
Xu Xinghe went all the way from TOP1 restaurant to TOP10, and finally gave up.
You can't really hack into their system and squeeze out the seats reserved by others...
Xu Xinghe turned off the communication depressingly, and comforted himself in his heart, anyway, Ling Changfeng might not be free tonight... and even if he was free, for the sake of safety, he might not necessarily go to a popular restaurant with him for dinner .
Forget it, let's do it at home.
Oh no, I should have asked him if he would come back tonight...
Just as he was thinking about it, the smart device on his wrist suddenly sounded an incoming call notification.
Xu Xinghe raised his hand and saw the three big characters "Ling Changfeng" suddenly lit up on the screen, he couldn't help but catch his breath, and almost thought he had dialed it by accident.
Until he saw the answer button in the lower left corner.
Such a tacit understanding made him suddenly firm up his mind—
It's tonight.
He's going to say something tonight.
Xu Xinghe took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
"do you have time at night?"
As soon as the communication line was connected, the voices of the two rang out almost simultaneously.
Xu Xinghe blinked: "You talk first."
There was a pause of two seconds on the other end of the phone before hearing Ling Changfeng's magnetic bass voice: "Do you want to come out for dinner tonight?"
Xu Xinghe laughed silently, his starry eyes twinkling brightly: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xinghe looked at the time, it was now 3:15 in the afternoon.
He rushed to the bathroom, washed himself from head to toe, then brushed and rinsed his teeth again, and even flossed again.
After coming out wrapped in a bathrobe, I began to carefully select in the cloakroom.
First, dress formally.
Xu Xinghe flicked through his own shirts and suits with his fingertips, and finally chose a white shirt with a simple style and exquisite tailoring, and a traditional black suit and small dress.
After putting on the shirt, Xu Xinghe began to choose bow tie, square scarf, collar clip and cufflinks.
He glanced up at the display case, and was caught by a pair of cufflinks made of sapphire and yellow amber.
He remembered that these were originally two pairs of cufflinks of the same color, but he disassembled them into collages of different colors. One pair was given to Ling Changfeng, and the other pair was kept by himself.
Looking at the beautiful color close to someone's different pupils, Xu Xinghe couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth, and reached out to take out the pair of cufflinks from the cabinet.
When everything was ready, the number on the electronic clock had jumped to 5:15PM.
It was forty-five minutes before the agreed six o'clock in the evening.
Xu Xinghe looked at himself in a suit and leather shoes in the mirror, finally adjusted his bow tie, turned around and went out.
Unexpectedly, just as he stepped out of the room, he bumped into Chu Yufei in the corridor.
The latter slammed on the brakes, his eyes widened a little bit when he looked at him, and his expression was terrified: "What are you doing... are you going to a banquet tonight?"
"That's right." Xu Xinghe said in a relaxed tone, "You guys eat dinner obediently at home, and ask He Han if you have anything to do."
"No, wait a minute..." Chu Yufei looked at his brother suspiciously, his expression became strange: "Are you going on a date?"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He didn't deny it or admit it, but asked pretendingly, "How can you tell? You can't smell me."
"But I'm not blind! I can see your expression." Chu Yufei looked at him speechlessly, "You should really look in the mirror, my dear old brother, people in love always have a look on your face." Smirking, not looking very smart."
The boy said, and shook his head regretfully: "Besides, although I can't smell your pheromone, I can still smell the pungent men's perfume you wear."
"Is it pungent?" Xu Xinghe frowned upon hearing the words, his expression a bit tangled: "This is the classic men's light fragrance from the C family. It's a rare fragrance that I can accept... Is it really pungent?"
"All perfume smells pungent to me... wait a minute, is that the point?? The point is I've never seen you wear a men's fragrance!"
"Then you see it now."
"..." Chu Yufei looked at him with an expression of "you're done, you've fallen in love".
Xu Xinghe raised his hand and looked at the time: "Okay, I won't quarrel with you anymore, I'm going to eat. You can read more at home when you have time, and you will go back to school after a while. Also, let Lily go to bed early. "
Xu Xinghe went downstairs while talking, and quickly walked out of the gate of the Marshal's Mansion.
Outside the door, a low-key and luxurious military flying car was already waiting for him on the tarmac.
Ling Changfeng did not directly tell him where to eat tonight, but only said that he would send someone to pick him up.
Xu Xinghe got into the car, the engine ejected blue flames, left the ground, and drove towards the sky.
The speeding car galloped all the way on the empty track, gradually leaving the urban area.
I don't know where the dinner is booked, what the location is like...
It's better to be by the window, so you can still see the snowfall tonight.
Just as Xu Xinghe was thinking this way, he was suddenly slightly taken aback.
He leaned forward slightly and looked out the window, feeling that this road to the western suburbs was somewhat familiar...
Xu Xinghe finally remembered it until the winding and beautiful hillside and the magnificent manor appeared in front of his eyes.
Here he has been—
Georges Grolet restaurant.
This was the day when he ended his first marriage, Qi Lier took them to the members-only restaurant with her father's card.
In an instant, a very strange feeling emerged in Xu Xinghe's heart.
It seems that in the dark, the fate has already been doomed.
But this time, their car was not stopped outside the manor, but drove directly over the manor.
It was only then that Xu Xinghe realized that there was actually a hidden area above the manor.
The air hotel supported by four large jet engines is suspended in the air, hundreds of meters above the ground.
All four sides are made of bulletproof glass, and low detectable technology, commonly known as invisibility, is used to make it difficult to be sensed by radar, light waves and infrared rays, and the outside world cannot see the scene inside.
The speeding car connected to a specific track, drove into the air manor, and landed slowly.
The car door was pulled open, Xu Xinghe turned sideways and was about to get out of the car, but when he raised his head, he froze.
It wasn't the hotel security guard who opened the car door for him, nor was it the guard who escorted him... It was Ling Changfeng himself!
Marshal Ling was wearing a solemn and gorgeous military uniform at the moment, with rows of medals symbolizing honor pinned to his chest, shining brightly.
Xu Xinghe seldom saw him wearing this military uniform, but he had to admit that it fit well.
The man's sword eyebrows, star eyes, thin lips... His deep and handsome facial features and tall and straight figure were all perfectly set off by this military uniform.
In my memory, every time Ling Changfeng puts it on, people can't take their eyes off it.
"Good evening." Ling Changfeng was also slightly taken aback when he saw Xu Xinghe who was dressed up for the appointment.
Immediately handed over.
From Xu Xinghe's point of view, behind Ling Changfeng is a crescent moon half covered by the red clouds of the snowy night.
And he stood together with the moon in the mid-heaven, with a magnificent appearance and a peerless appearance.
Xu Xinghe was stunned for a while before recovering his voice: "Good evening."
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and he got out of the car holding his hand.
The manager of the restaurant politely stepped forward to lead the way for the two of them. When they came to a door, they authenticated their identities with fingerprint and pupil recognition, and opened the door of the box with their hands.
Xu Xinghe let out a silent exclamation.
The four sides of the private room are transparent, and the magnificent scenery of the world under the feet can be seen at a glance.
On one side are the city lights like the Milky Way falling into nine days, and on the other side are the beautiful mountains and forests. At this moment, the decorative lights in the mountains and forests have all been turned on, as if a little bit of starlight has fallen into the dense forest, gorgeous and magnificent.
In the center of the room was a dining table surrounded by flower petals, and a candle was lit on the table.
Ling Changfeng waved to the supervisor, and told him not to be disturbed, and only two intelligent robots were left to deliver the food.
After the supervisor exited the room, he walked to the dining table and pulled out the chair for Xu Xinghe himself: "Sit down."
Xu Xinghe sat down and asked casually, "Why are you wearing this suit tonight?"
Ling Changfeng looked at him quietly, and asked without answering, "What about you? Why are you dressed so grandly?"
Xu Xinghe's heart moved, he raised his head and stared at Ling Changfeng blankly, and suddenly had a certain premonition.
At this moment, the intelligent robot came to serve the food without winking.
"Let's eat first." Ling Changfeng said, "Would you like some wine?"
"Well... for a while." Xu Xinghe bit his lips and said.
He actually wanted to have some wine, but he was afraid that if he got drunk, he would mess up the business tonight.
So he shook his head and decided to wait until he had finished speaking before drinking.
The dinner dishes are very delicate and precious, and it can be seen that the chef has spent a lot of effort.
But facing the table full of delicacies on jade plates, delicacies from mountains and seas, Xu Xinghe ate a little absent-mindedly.
"What's the matter, is the food not to your liking?" Ling Changfeng noticed his abnormality, put down his fork, and asked.
"No." Xu Xinghe took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Ling Changfeng helplessly, "Well, there is something I want to tell you..."
"Huh?" Yi Tong turned around and stared at him seriously.
Xu Xinghe opened his mouth, his heartbeat suddenly soared all the way.
"I...then what..." He scrolled through the words many times in his heart, but for some reason they got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even utter a single word.
"That, that's that..." Xu Xinghe's tongue got stuck, and the topic suddenly went off track, "Isn't mom going to be discharged from the hospital soon..."
After he finished speaking, his whole body became as sluggish as a deflated ball, blaming himself for not living up to expectations.
Obviously full of words to say, but suddenly unable to speak.
However, now that the words have been spoken, this is one thing, Xu Xinghe simply continued: "I want to leave my house in District 5 to my mother after she is discharged from the hospital. After all, A Fei and Lily have been staying in the Marshal's Mansion It's not appropriate, it's better for them to live with their mother."
Ling Changfeng glanced at Xu Xinghe's slightly trembling hand that was about to bend the fork, nodded and said: "You can decide these things. If you think the location in District 5 is inconvenient, I can also Arranging other residences for them is easy to say."
Xu Xinghe nodded, his heart still beating violently.
He suddenly thought, did Ling Changfeng also have the same mood on that night of confession
"It's snowing." Ling Changfeng said suddenly.
Xu Xinghe was taken aback, and when he turned his head, there were snowflakes floating outside the window, like silver saucers flying, and falling flowers were flying.
And they were sitting in the middle of the flying snow in the sky, the situation and the scene, the years are long.
The first snow since the beginning of winter in Floating Star City fell silently on the night they met.
Xu Xinghe took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Ling Changfeng said: "I also have something to tell you."
"Huh?" Xu Xinghe's words got stuck in his throat again, and he changed his words: "You say it."
"You just asked me why I put on this suit again." Ling Changfeng said, pointing to the medal on his chest, "This Golden Star medal was left by me on the 376 battlefield. That’s where the longest scar came from. This first-class Liberation Medal was awarded the year I was promoted to major general. I still remember the glory that day when I raised my arms and the army responded. There is also this The Flying Pigeon Medal, the Golden Peony Medal... All these medals are the epitome of my military exploits and glory in my life, and I usually only wear them on occasions that are very important."
When Ling Changfeng said this, he raised his head, looked into Xu Xinghe's eyes and said: "For example, that state banquet, that was the first time I appeared in public with you. Another example, the day of welcoming relatives."
Xu Xinghe was stunned.
He remembered that the day he first entered the Marshal's Mansion, Ling Changfeng was not present...
It was Colonel Lewis who came to pick him up.
But that night, when he met Ling Changfeng for the first time, he was indeed wearing this military uniform.
"I'm sorry, I was absent that day." Ling Changfeng lowered his eyes and continued: "I was going to pick you up by myself that day, but something happened on the way, and I can't even explain to you what it was .I can't talk to you about my work, I can't tell you who I met, and I can't tell you my specific itinerary... The most I can say is whether I will go home for dinner tonight."
"I fully understand this, really." Xu Xinghe felt his emotional change, so he interrupted him gently, "A soldier needs to be on call 24 hours a day, all the confidentiality agreements and the responsibilities and obligations I have to bear after marriage, I I've been told before marriage..."
Ling Changfeng listened to him quietly, but still shook his head, and continued: "And our first date, the one that failed... That night, I broke the appointment."
Looking at the dancing candlelight on the table, Ling Changfeng said in a low voice: "To this day, I still can't explain what happened that night. When some extreme situations happen, my private communication is not safe. "
Xu Xinghe's lips moved, but he didn't know how to use it to comfort him.
He really wanted to say something, but felt that all words were too pale.
He felt the other party's self-blame, even powerlessness... These were emotions he had never captured in Ling Changfeng.
So much so that he was at a loss and didn't know how to solve it.
"I can't even guarantee that such a situation will never happen again." Ling Changfeng's voice was very low, "So, I sometimes wonder if you refuse to accept my confession because... the impression I left on you is actually It's not good, or rather, I really can't be considered a qualified husband."
Xu Xinghe couldn't listen anymore.
He felt that Ling Changfeng might say something stupid like "If you really don't like me, I will sign the divorce agreement and let you go free after one year expires"!
God, he would be pissed off!
Why on earth are they talking about this on a night of first snow?
Xu Xinghe thought about it and got up suddenly.
He jumped over the flowers and candles on the table, and in the snowstorm outside the window, in the reflection of those stunned pupils, he approached Ling Changfeng's face...
Then, she directly kissed those light-colored thin lips.
After a long night and waiting, he finally answered his confession.
— with a kiss.
