Chapter 599

Just after coming out of the airport gate, they met the man and woman who were welcoming Master Wu Yili.

The man had blond hair and blue eyes and was in his early 50s; the woman had a standard Chinese face and was much younger, estimated to be about thirty-five or thirty-six. Both were very enthusiastic toward Wu Yili.

The man even held Wu Yili's fingertips and kissed them ostentatiously to show his respect and affection.

After introductions, the man's name was Jack; the woman's name was Xu Yun.

Li Heng asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The other party is very familiar with Teacher Wu."

Zhou Shihe glanced at him, as if she had guessed the little thoughts in his heart, thought for a moment, and said, "The other party is Spanish, has always been deeply in love with the teacher, once pursued her passionately, and is currently still single for her sake."

Li Heng was surprised, looked the old man up and down carefully, and asked quietly, "Is this person also in music?"

He felt that only people in this circle could infinitely magnify the shining points on Wu Yili and be fanatical about her.

Zhou Shihe nodded slightly, "He is also a pianist."

Two cars came; Wu Yili and the blond, blue-eyed old man got into the front car, discussing the details of the concert along the way.

Li Heng and Zhou Shihe very perceptively squeezed into the back car, driven by Xu Yun.

In his past life, he had been to Singapore, but he hadn't seen Singapore in 1989. Li Heng was a little curious and spent the whole way observing the buildings, street scenes, and various pedestrians outside through the car window glass.

When the car approached the Marina Bay area, seeing him silent, Zhou Shihe suddenly asked gently, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Heng blurted out, "I'm thinking about people."

Zhou Shihe asked, "People?"

Li Heng said, "Hmm."

Zhou Shihe pondered for a moment: "Xiao Han? Or Sui Sui?"

Li Heng gave an irrelevant answer: "Yes, but not entirely."

Zhou Shihe tilted her head slightly and looked at him.

Li Heng sighed secretly: "Being abroad, it's easiest to be moved by the scenery."

Zhou Shihe continued to look at him.

Meeting her gaze, Li Heng said faintly: "Life is always deep and shallow, with light and shadow intertwined. Some people get rich colors, some pass by lightly, and some appear repeatedly in life but leave no trace.

And some people, a single encounter embeds itself deep in the brain's circuits, walking into the most distant memories, as if uninvited, overstaying their welcome..."

Hearing this meaningful sentiment, Zhou Shihe didn't look at him anymore and turned her head toward the window.

Her heart was not calm at this moment, pondering the meaning of his words:

Some people get rich colors; Xiao Han and Sui Sui were undoubtedly like this.

Some people pass by lightly; Dai Qing and Li Xian could be included in this category.

Some people appear repeatedly in life but leave a trace; she subconsciously thought of the most beautiful flower at Tongji University, Wu Siyao.

Last time on the bus to Xu Hui, based on his brief conversation with Wu Siyao, Zhou Shihe tasted the general process of their pursuit.

To encounter Li Heng, Wu Siyao took the bus alone almost every weekend, with the goal of waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree, often needing four or five times to meet once, but in a year, Wu Siyao met Li Heng on the bus no less than 10 times. What kind of perseverance was this! How arduous was this process!

This was also the reason why Zhou Shihe had a deep impression of Wu Siyao.

As for the person who "came uninvited and overstayed," Zhou Shihe subconsciously thought of herself. Was he expressing his feelings to her euphemistically?

To this, she didn't answer, nor did she look at his eyes, which were full of stories, again.

After a brief exchange, the car fell into silence, both thinking their own thoughts, neither making a sound.

Until the car stopped at the entrance of a hotel, Li Heng broke the silence first: "Raffles Hotel?"

Zhou Shihe said yes.

Li Heng said: "I heard this hotel is very old, roughly when did it open?"

Zhou Shihe didn't answer, but Xu Yun, who helped him open the car door, took over the conversation: "Mr. Li, Raffles Hotel opened in 1887."

Li Heng said: "That must be over 100 years old, right?"

Xu Yun replied politely: "This year happens to be 102 years."

Li Heng muttered: "Then it really is a century-old brand worthy of the name."

Xu Yun smiled. Her ancestors were all Chinese, and her grandfather came from the Chaoshan area of Guangdong Province, so naturally, she had heard of various old-brand restaurants on the mainland.

After getting off the car, Li Heng looked around the surroundings of this famous hotel.

Seeing this, Xu Yun acted as a temporary tour guide on the side, introducing to him: "On the left bank, government agencies and cultural facilities are arranged in an orderly manner; on the right bank is Chinatown, which has evolved from a former racial segregation area into the oldest and largest Chinese settlement in Singapore."

A Chinese settlement, Li Heng watched curiously for a while. After the blond, blue-eyed Spaniard left, the two reunited with Wu Yili.

Wu Yili said kindly to the two: "Let's go, let's enter the hotel."

Li Heng and Zhou Shihe looked at each other and followed toward the main entrance.

The exterior of Raffles Hotel was almost pure white, with many tall palm trees swaying in the sea breeze. Stepping into the lobby, the simple and ancient British style of the Victorian era rushed toward them, the melody of a harp floated in the air, instantly making people dream back to the 19th century.

Noticing him frown, Zhou Shihe asked in a low voice: "You don't like this hotel?"

Li Heng said: "Can't say I like it, can't say I hate it, just feel something is weird."

Zhou Shihe looked at his side profile; actually, she had the answer in her heart. After a while, she asked: "How about changing hotels?"

"Ah?"

Li Heng said "ah" and asked: "Isn't that very troublesome?"

Zhou Shihe said: "This hotel was arranged by the teacher and is currently the best hotel in Singapore. If you want to change to one with a more relaxed atmosphere, it's not like..."

Her words weren't finished before she was interrupted, interrupted by the hotel manager and others walking quickly toward them.

The hotel manager first exchanged pleasantries with Wu Yili politely, then, unexpectedly to everyone, changed the subject and landed on Li Heng.

Seeing the hotel manager looking at Li Heng with excitement, he asked with a respectful tone: "Are you Mr. Li Heng?"

The other party was actually speaking Chinese.

But thinking that the main population of Singapore was Chinese, it was no surprise.

Facing the enthusiasm of this stranger, Li Heng was a bit confused, but as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, so he nodded and said: "Yes."

Afraid he would be confused, the hotel manager hurriedly said: "The 'Eternity' pure music album you created is too amazing! Every song is a classic; we are your loyal listeners.

Our boss once solemnly entrusted me that if I could be lucky enough to see you, please let me express his high respect to Mr. Li on his behalf."
