The next morning, "A-choo!" Lin Dong opened his sleepy eyes and saw Lou Xiao'e playing teasing games with her nose using the ends of her hair.

"Wife, I discussed something with Dad last night and came back very late. Can you please let me sleep for a while?"

When they were in China, the couple often called each other husband and wife in private, just to help them adapt after arriving in Hong Kong.

"Hubby, you promised me that you would play with me for a few days after arriving in Hong Kong."

Just then, there were knocks on the door, "bang bang bang, bang bang bang".

"Brother and sister-in-law, please get up soon. The tutor is here. Mom wants you two to come downstairs quickly."

Xiao Yuer's sweet voice sounded, and Lin Dong remembered Lu Yao's instructions last night. He didn't dare to waste time and quickly got up to wash.

Lin Dong and Lou Xiao'e's morning classes are English and Cantonese, two hours every day.

There is no way around it, after all, these two languages ​​are the mainstream languages ​​in Hong Kong.

Lin Dong has a basic knowledge of English. Although he studied traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life, English is one of his main subjects.

But Lin Dong did not intend to show it. Instead, he studied diligently according to Lou Xiao'e's progress. After all, he had never been exposed to English in his life.

The traditional Chinese characters used in Hong Kong are the same as when Lin Dong and Lou Xiao'e were studying in China, and they mainly learned the pronunciation of Cantonese.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin."

“Good morning, Mr. Lin!”

"Morning, Mr. Lin!"

"Good morning, Ms. Lou Xiao'e,"

“Good morning, Ms. Lou Xiao’e”

"Good morning, Mrs. Lou."

“Good morning” is a common way of saying good morning in English.

“Ms.” is short for Ms.

Used to address unmarried women, "Mrs." is the abbreviation of Madam, used to address married women.

If you are unsure of a woman’s marital status, you can use “Ms.”

What Lin Dong didn't expect was that the blond-haired, blue-eyed English teacher actually started teaching by greeting.

Fortunately, Lin Dong and his wife have been drinking spiritual water all year round, so their memory is naturally excellent. They can almost remember everything they hear, write what they see, and imitate 70% to 80% of what they hear.

After the morning class and breakfast, Lin Dong refused the bodyguard's request to follow him and drove a customized bulletproof Mercedes-Benz to Central.

Central is one of Hong Kong's safe zones and one of the prosperous areas where the use of hot weapons is prohibited. At least no one dares to violate this rule openly.

In Hong Kong in 1959, prosperity and bustle were intertwined on every street in Central.

For Lin Dong and Lou Xiao'e, a couple who had just arrived in Hong Kong, everything here was full of novelty and curiosity.

Today, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing gently. Lin Dong held Lou Xiao'e's hand and walked into the Hengshun Department Store in Central with great interest.

Lou Xiao'e was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of goods in the building, and Lin Dong couldn't help but compare them with things from the 21st century.

The result is that things of this era are of better quality, but with fewer varieties.

From exquisite jewelry to fashionable clothing, shoes and hats, to a variety of household items, each item reveals the unique charm of this era. Lou Xiao'e wants to buy everything she sees.

Lin Dong now regretted not bringing a bodyguard. At least he didn't have to carry his things by himself.

Seeing that his wife was attracted by a set of white jade porcelain again, the way she caressed the porcelain and the look in her eyes were almost as good as caressing the baby in her belly, which gave Lin Dong a headache.

"Wife, dear, you see your husband really can't take it anymore. Lunch time has passed. Shouldn't we go try the afternoon tea here?"

Lou Xiao'e saw that her husband was holding seven or eight paper bags in each hand and had two hanging around his neck. She rarely showed an embarrassed expression.

"Didn't you just think that today is the day to buy all the gifts for the family members?"

Most of the couples seen here are holding hands. When shopping, there are men hugging women's shoulders and women hugging men's waists.

Lou Xiao'e no longer had the reserved manner she had in China. After she finished speaking, she held Lin Dong's cheek and took the bag off Lin Dong's neck.

After shopping in the department store, I put the items in the car.

The two came to the nearby snack street again. The street was filled with the aroma of various delicacies, making people salivate.

Lin Dong and Lou Xiao'e walked and looked, stopping from time to time to taste some special snacks.

Delicious shrimp dumplings, fragrant rice rolls, crispy egg tarts... every bite is a unique experience of the taste of Hong Kong.

While tasting the delicious food, the couple also deliberately got to know some enthusiastic locals in order to learn Cantonese.

These people communicated with them in Mandarin with a strong Hong Kong accent, sharing interesting stories and food secrets about the city.

This kind of cordial communication actually made Lin Dong and Lou Xiao'e feel the enthusiasm and friendliness of Hong Kong people.

Lin Dong knew that it was mostly because of the clothes he and Lou Xiao'e were wearing, the diamond-studded watches on their wrists, and Lou Xiao'e's various luxury jewelry.

Add to that the Mercedes Benz parked not far away, and few idiots would be able to afford to offend such a rich man.

As a result, the couple enjoyed their meal and received a lot of tips.

Tipping is also one of the characteristics of Hong Kong and is a sign of respect for wealthy families' consumption.

The couple are not the only rich people who come here to eat. Lin Dong also saw that others never give change when eating, so he followed suit.

The shrimp dumplings cost HK$2 per basket. When Lin Dong saw someone paying HK$100, he said, "The extra is yours."

Or: “The extra is for you as a reward.”

Then the girlfriend next to him kissed her boyfriend on the cheek and said, "Honey, you are so nice."

Or: The woman said to the man, “Dear, you are so kind.”

Turning around, the woman would put her hands behind her back, and then the stall owner would covertly stuff fifty Hong Kong dollars into the woman's hand.

Lin Dong was not so generous, usually he only gave ten or fifty yuan.

I have to say, it feels so damn good to show off your wealth and enjoy being complimented.

The bustling Central district is bustling with traffic and flashing neon lights.

As night fell and the lights came on, Lin Dong and Lou Xiao'e, who were tired from shopping, walked into a famous hotel in Central, the Golden Light Hotel.

This hotel is owned by Guo Jinhui, the second son of the Guo family, a wealthy Hong Kong tycoon. After hearing that the chef's monthly salary is three thousand US dollars, Lin Dong came here just to try the food.

The hotel is magnificent, with melodious piano music, and the guests walking around are all well-dressed, showing the luxury of the upper class.

The couple found a seat by the window, ordered a few chef dishes, and prepared to enjoy this rare romantic time.

Just as the couple was enjoying the food and chatting quietly, Lin Dong suddenly felt a strange gaze.

Lin Dong looked up and saw a young girl staring at him without any scruples at a dining table not far away.

His eyes were full of confusion and some joy.

Lou Xiao'e was sitting next to Lin Dong, so she naturally saw it as well and was not surprised.

If they get angry with Lin Dong because of this, the couple might not be able to live like this.

What's more, she often enjoyed this kind of gaze and always pretended not to see it.

The girl had a pretty face, and was wearing a light yellow off-shoulder dress and a sea-blue heart-shaped diamond pendant around her neck. She had an extraordinary temperament.

Sitting opposite was a man in a white suit. Seven diamonds of different colors on his collar formed the pattern of the Big Dipper, which looked dazzling.

If I cut it down and sell it, I could definitely buy several houses in Central.

Just by looking at this outfit, you can tell that this is definitely a rich man.

Lin Dong was very confident in his memory. Although the girl looked familiar, he did not have the impression that he knew her. It was possible that he had met her somewhere.

With a handsome face and a strong body, Lin Dong has long been able to take all kinds of women's gazes calmly.

Lin Dong just nodded politely to the girl, then looked away and continued talking to Lou Xiao'e.
