163. The moon and the moon shine on people for the first time
In his previous life, Gu Yun did not come to Shanghai many times.
Every time I go to Shanghai, I am either on a business trip, visiting friends, applying for a visa, transferring flights, coming and going in a hurry, but I find that I have not fully explored Shanghai again.
His most profound impression of Shanghai was the whirling sycamore trees, Wukang Road and Shili Yangchang where Internet celebrities gathered, the extremely prosperous Bund, and the exquisite beauty that attracted many friends everywhere.
The more luxuriant the parasol trees are on the road, the deeper the history is.
Seeing his aunt cooking for the team members, Gu Yun pulled Wen Jue out of the door.
Walking through the wet alleys in Shanghai, you can see the real old-style Shanghai style everywhere. The lush sycamore trees on both sides of the alleys seem to bring people back to the grandma's house in the fairy tale.
"Aren't you going to eat with them?"
Wen Jue said doubtfully.
"People call you sister-in-law, so of course I have to have this first meal with you."
Gu Yun smiled and took Wen Jue's little hand.
Wen Jue didn't argue. She didn't know that these veteran drivers would call everyone they saw sister-in-law.
"Okay, then you can accompany me for a walk on the Bund. I'm not hungry yet."
The two of them took a car to the Bund by the Huangpu River. It was already getting late.
Wen Jue's family lives and works in Shanghai, and she often travels in this area.
Every time she comes to Shanghai, she likes to take a walk along the riverside and admire the exquisite or heavy European-style buildings.
Today's weather is not good. There are heavy clouds, thin mist, and some deep tones in the air, blending in with the buildings from all over the world.
In a sense, the Bund is an eclectic place where multiple cultures jointly endow historical significance.
"In 1909, the World Anti-Smoking Conference was held in the Huizhong Hall of the Peace Hotel. Smoking was not allowed here."
Walking to the Peace Hotel at No. 19 on the Bund, Wen Jue put a finger on Gu Yun's lips, just in time to interrupt him from taking out his lighter.
What defines the Bund is not only the Ionic columns and classical decorations, but also many precious historical relics.
"Do you know this? I have only heard of the Peace Hotel in history textbooks. People from all walks of life in Shanghai are here to celebrate Mr. Sun's inauguration as interim president."
After listening to Wen Jue's explanation along the way, Gu Yun was a little surprised. As a person of two generations, he probably didn't know as much as Wen Jue in this area.
"The modern story of the Peace Hotel is not limited to Mr. Sun. In 1927, the engagement ceremony between Chiang Kai-shek and Soong was held in the banquet hall of the Peace Hotel."
When it comes to the ceremony of the century, Wen Jue's tone reveals a trace of longing.
On this small piece of land, those exquisite porches and walls are surrounded by a piece of yellowed paper, and countless stories have been written quietly and magnificently.
Gu Yun looked at the girl beside him who was talking so loudly, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"You are so good at history, why do you want to study finance?"
"Because of my father." Wen Jue lowered his head and kicked away the stones in front of him, "He seemed to be a different person when he got rich. I think this is the power of wealth."
"Rather than studying history, I want to control my own destiny through finance and gain more wealth from my father. Otherwise, I would be giving others an advantage."
When talking about his family's story, Wen Jue's voice gradually became quieter, but the power contained in it should not be underestimated.
Wave after wave of the Huangpu River laps at the shore, washing away the unknown past.
Mentioning her family, the girl in front of her felt a little depressed, and Gu Yun gently hugged her from behind.
"Don't think about that, let's go take a cruise?"
It was night at Shiliupu Pier, and the cruise ship was about to set sail.
Gu Yun took Wen Jue on board the cruise ship.
At seven o'clock in the evening, as the bell rang, the hazy night was instantly lit up.
The lights on the Bund are just beginning to light up, and the city is bright and prosperous. Even the ancient buildings along the Huangpu River cast a mysterious light and shadow under the neon lights of the night.
Dreaming back to Shanghai at night.
The cruise ship reached the middle of the Huangpu River, and Gu Yun leaned on the railing. The reflection of the girl next to him and the lights flowed into the distance with the river.
"This is my first time taking a cruise on the Huangpu River with a girl."
The wind gradually became stronger, the whole city of Shanghai was brightly lit, and wherever the cruise ship went, the darkness gradually disappeared.
Gu Yun pushed the girl's long hair away from her face, revealing her perfect profile under the night sky.
"First time, so what?"
Wen Jue looked at the surging river water, suddenly turned his head, and met Gu Yun's eyes.
Just be direct about what you want to say. Who hasn't taken a cruise with a member of the opposite sex for the first time?
Other tourists on the cruise ship raised their mobile phones and took pictures non-stop, either taking selfies of the cruise ship or recording the stunning light scenery.
There were only colorful neon lights in the gray sky, and the Oriental Pearl Tower towering close at hand, but at this moment, in Gu Yun's eyes, there was only another bright night pearl.
"So, can I kiss you?"
Life is a fleeting moment, and the heartbeat will never fail.
In the middle of the waves and bumps of the Huangpu River, the men, women, and children beside her were speaking local Shanghainese. The night wind blew through her skirt, and the skin of her exposed calves was slightly cool.
Wen Jue stretched out his hands, wrapped them around Gu Yun's hair, and closed his eyes.
"OK."
...
As a top internet celebrity in Xiaojushu, Orange Jiang finally adjusted her mood after receiving a satisfying kiss.
After taking hundreds of photos of the night scene, Wen Jue took Gu Yun to take a few more photos.
When the cruise ship arrived at the terminal, the two of them were a little hungry. Wen Jue opened Xiaoju's book and decided to go to No. 3 on the Bund to find a restaurant to eat.
3 on the Bund is the first comprehensive commercial renovation building on the Bund in recent years. It integrates art, culture, food and music. The blend of history and new trends gives it an irresistible unique charm.
Wen Jue was attracted by Shinpaku, a Japanese restaurant on the second floor. The restaurant was simple but fashionable, and the decoration style was exactly what she liked.
“It would be great if we could open a coffee shop here to do justice.”
The two sat down facing each other, and Wen Jue whispered to Gu Yun.
"We will definitely be able to in the future."
Gu Yun smiled at her and encouraged her.
Opening the menu, one of the features of Xinshe is the collection of more than 100 kinds of sake, from the famous Dassai Zenshou to the Black Dragon and Juliwon favored by the royal family, from fresh and refreshing sake to the raw sake brewed with ancient methods.
It makes people suffer from the phobia of choice.
In the end, Gu Yun chose raw wine, and Wen Jue ordered Japanese charcoal grill, sushi and sashimi, and the two of them had a great time.
Ingredients are the soul of Japanese food. While paying attention to the sense of season, we make the most of the color, aroma and flavor of the ingredients to create an unparalleled and stunning taste.
I have to say that only Shanghai can create this kind of Japanese restaurant to perfection. This is the only petty bourgeois romance in the country.
After drinking and eating, the two lingered on the streets like a couple in love, and even went to watch a night movie.
In the last row of the theater, Gu Yun and Wen Jue fed each other popcorn.
A large bucket of popcorn has just come out of the pan, and the surface is evenly covered with a layer of golden butter and sugar. Grab each popcorn, and it is hard, a little sticky, and still warm to the touch, and stuff it into the mouth of the opposite sex who is excited.
.
It can make people feel sweet directly in their hearts.
When the night movie came to an end, Gu Yun realized that his moment of decision had arrived again.
I went back to the base to go to bed on time and supervise everyone's training the next day.
Or should we take advantage of the right time and place and find an excuse to... trick Wen Jue into spending the night together?
The night was already deep, and the night wind was mixed with drizzle. Looking at Wen Jue who was silent beside him, Gu Yun felt troubled.
