Days in Hong Kong variety shows

Although he woke up at around 7 a.m., Cao Tai dawdled until after 9 a.m., and only got up when Gang Sheng’s stomach started growling.

The two, who did not take things further, were both covered in sweat from dawdling. After getting up and quickly washing up, they put their still slightly damp clothes back on. Cao Tai decided to have breakfast first, and then each of them would buy a few changes of clothes.

June in Hong Kong Island is already unusually hot and humid, with temperatures exceeding 30°C on the hottest days. People will break out in a light sweat after walking outdoors for just a few minutes.

Cao Tai had worn the same clothes for two days, and after carrying Gang Sheng on his back for half the night on the mountain road, his clothes smelled sour after sweating profusely. He washed his jacket briefly after taking a shower last night and hung it by the small window to air for seven or eight hours. It was still a bit damp when he woke up this morning, and he had no choice but to wear it since he had no other clothes to change into.

Last night, in order not to frighten Gang Sheng by leaving his arm unsupported while sleeping, Cao Tai took out his usual casual clothes and put them on before daring to hold Gang Sheng and sleep with him for one night.

If the gun had been left in neutral last night, it could have easily gone off accidentally. Even though he was fully clothed, Cao Tai had been pointing the gun at Gang Sheng's groin almost the entire night. Putting aside everything else, just holding a gun against his groin all night was quite painful.

After quickly tidying up, the two opened the door and went out. They had only taken two steps down the corridor to Xiao Fu's room next door when the door suddenly opened, revealing Xiao Fu, already dressed, who called out, "Brother Tai, Sister-in-law!"

"Let's go! Let's have some breakfast, then go find Aunt Gangsheng to find out the midwife's address and get her birth certificate first!" Before Cao Tai left, he sensed that Xiao Fu was already dressed and lying in bed resting. When he opened the door, Xiao Fu had already rushed to the door and opened it just in time for him to pass by.

Hong Kong Island is heavily influenced by Guangdong Province, and its cuisine is quite similar to that of Guangdong. However, due to the war decades ago, many immigrants from mainland China settled in Hong Kong Island, bringing with them various regional dietary habits. Furthermore, due to the nearly century-long rule of the Niu Tribe, some Western dietary habits have also become popular in Hong Kong Island.

The three of them first went to a fancy restaurant for an authentic Cantonese dim sum meal, trying a dozen or twenty different kinds of Cantonese dim sum.

Hong Sheng only ate a little of each dim sum dish, putting down his chopsticks after about half of each to indicate he was full. Cao Tai and Xiao Fu wolfed down the rest, finishing their plates and feeling about 60-70% full.

The morning tea session took more than an hour, which stopped Xiao Fu from ordering more dim sum. Instead, Cao Tai took the two of them to try some Western-style baked goods.

Strolling through the streets of Mong Kok, Cao Tai walked ahead, holding Gang Sheng's hand. The two were not exactly towering figures, but they were still more than half a head taller than most passersby, making them look like... even if they weren't a golden couple, they were still a charming uncle and a beautiful girl.

Xiao Fu followed behind the two, carrying a bag of pineapple buns. He ate as he walked, glancing around to observe the bustling street.

Heng Hom Estate in Wong Tai Sin District was originally a resettlement building built for the victims of the Shek Kip Mei fire in 1953. A few years ago, the Housing Authority launched a renovation and demolition and reconstruction plan for the old buildings. The government demolished the old estate and rebuilt 25 public housing estates.

Because of its proximity to Kai Tak Airport, all buildings around the airport are height-restricted to avoid affecting aircraft take-off and landing. Therefore, the height of all buildings in Heng Hom Estate does not exceed 100 meters, and the number of floors is 20-30. In order to allow each public housing building to have more units, the government designed long buildings with a long corridor on each floor, with about 20 units on both sides of the corridor.

The entire estate has nearly 8000 units, each ranging in size from over 100 to 300 square feet, and a population of nearly 30,000.

As the three of them found themselves surrounded by dozens of high-rise buildings in the residential complex, Xiao Fu was overwhelmed by the sights. "There are so many buildings here, and they're so tall! There are so many people, it's so bustling! I wish I could buy a house here someday and bring my mom to live with us!"

Cao Tai complained irritably, "This is a public housing estate. You have to apply to the Hong Kong Island government and wait until it's your turn to rent a unit. Residents may not be able to get a unit even if they wait for ten or eight years."

Can't you have some ambition? A hilltop villa is out of the question, but you could consider a two- or three-thousand-square-foot mansion halfway up the mountain!

"How big is two or three thousand feet? Where is Mid-Levels? Where are there so many people? Does it look as bustling as this place?" The young man turned into a curious child.

"About two or three hundred square meters!"

"That's just average! My four rooms plus the kitchen in the countryside are about this size."

"Do you know that each house here is only about ten to thirty square meters? I'll just buy you a big villa in Repulse Bay in the future!" Cao Tai said irritably.

"Okay, but I don't want to buy a house in Repulse Bay. I want to buy one in Kowloon. I've never seen a place as developed and prosperous as Kowloon!"

"You're like a wild boar that can't eat fine chaff. When you make money, you can buy whatever you want!"

Just as I was about to ask someone for directions, three people walked towards me.

Is Chun San Niang a youthful and invincible version of an innocent girl? Is a ripe banana... a shy and innocent version of a young girl? I don't recognize this cute little girl!

Looking at the three people walking towards them, the one in front, wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans with a simple ponytail, was a woman in her early twenties who looked about seven or eight parts similar to the "most beautiful woman in Wutai Mountain" from her previous life. Although she only looked seven or eight parts similar, she was by no means just as beautiful as the original. Instead, she was equally beautiful, each with her own exquisite beauty.

The older girl walking alongside her looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. She resembled an unripe banana, and although she was a pretty girl, her looks were at least one or two levels lower than the person in front.

The little girl standing next to her looked three or four years younger than her. Although she was also very cute and could be considered a pretty girl, it seemed that even when she grew up, her looks would be a little less attractive than a teenage girl's. She was only considered a potential average beauty.

"That lady is so beautiful!" As the three approached, Gang Sheng saw the face of the woman walking in front and couldn't help but whisper in Cao Tai's ear to praise her.

Although Hong Kong students are now 18 years old, which is the most youthful and invincible time, with faces full of collagen, they lack a touch of maturity and charm.

Compared to the current 'Luo Huiling' with her aloof and otherworldly demeanor, she was actually slightly inferior.

Yes, Cao Tai compared and analyzed the situation, and this should be Luo Huiling from "The Great Era" with Fang Ting and Fang Min. Judging from their ages, it's not long before Fang Min is approached by Ding Yixie.

The reason we're certain we haven't been approached yet is because the smile on Fang Min's face is genuine, unlike how cautious and timid she became after being approached by the Ding family's crabs.

Looking at Fang Ting's face, which seemed innocent yet alluring, it was unexpected that she was actually a saintly lotus flower with an overflowing heart. Visiting the mother of her father's killer, falling in love with the son of her father's killer, and her sister contracting a disease—all because she first provoked those few scoundrels from the Ding family.

In the end, the younger sister jumped off the building, and she and her older sister were thrown off and died. It can be said that the whole family was almost wiped out because of her.

"Hello!" Cao Tai stepped in front of the three women and greeted them.

Reaching out to shield Fang Ting and Fang Min behind her, Luo Huiling looked at Cao Tai's smiling face, still carrying a hint of nervousness.

To avoid the harassment from the Ding family, Luo Huiling had tried every means to move several times. Now, suddenly someone was blocking her way. Although the girl with that person was also extremely beautiful, she was amazed when she saw her.

But I couldn't help but shield the two girls behind me.

"Don't be nervous! We're here to find our relatives. We'd like to ask how to get to Honghui Building." Cao Tai looked at the other party's somewhat nervous state, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and gently spread his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.

The temperament he cultivated during his nearly ten years of military service, along with his handsome face with its subtle smile, inexplicably made people feel at ease.

"Go straight down this road, turn left at the second intersection, and the first building on your right is Honghui Building," Luo Huiling said, pointing to the road she had come from.

"Thank you!" she said, glancing slightly away to meet the four probing eyes, and nodded gently as a greeting.

The little girl shyly turned her face away, trying to hide behind Luo Huiling. The young woman, however, was still staring intently at Cao Tai. She understood; he was definitely a sucker for good looks. Later, he probably saw that the Ding family's big crab was handsome and didn't care about the murder of his father, rushing to date him.

He stepped aside to make way for the three women, but Cao Tai remained standing still, his gaze fixed on their backs.

Fang Ting kept glancing back, until Luo Huiling couldn't stand their dawdling way of walking anymore, so she dragged one of them away quickly.

"Can't resist a pretty girl?" Gang Sheng leaned over, putting one arm around Cao Tai's arm and pinching his waist with the other.

"I just couldn't help but glance at a few unfortunate people!" He chuckled and shook his head, then pinched the girl's round chin with two fingers. "I didn't expect you to be jealous."

The girl rubbed her face against Cao Tai's fingers a few times. "Let's hurry up! I need to find my third aunt quickly and find out where I can find my birth certificate."

"good!"

"Xiao Fu, let's go!"

"Here we come!" Xiao Fu, pretending to admire the surrounding scenery, turned around and followed.

Following the directions given by Luo Huiling, a few minutes later the three of them stood at the foot of a straight building. The building was nearly 50 meters long, with the main entrance in the middle. The three large, faded characters "Honghui Building" were still faintly visible on the top of the entrance.

There's no grand entrance lobby like in modern apartment buildings; you just walk in through a corridor and directly face two elevators, with a staircase leading up to each elevator.

"Room number 1216, that should be room 16 on the 12th floor." After entering the elevator, Cao Tai pressed the button for the 12th floor based on the room number reported by Gang Sheng.
