After having chosen a souvenir for his mother, Arthur continued looking here and there. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of a purple jade pendant. Unlike the usual greens, this jade possessed a mesmerizing swirl of lavender hues. A band of intricate gold detailing adorned the center, adding a touch of elegance.
He hurriedly called for the shopping guide and tentatively asked, "Can you introduce us about this pendant?"
The guide immediately introduced eloquently: "Ah, that beauty! That's lavender jade, sir. Not as common as its green cousin, but just as stunning. The calming lavender hue is associated with peace, serenity, and inner harmony. It's believed to help alleviate stress and anxiety."
"If you requested, we could also provide you with a cord to make it a necklace. Thus, if you are going to the university, this piece could be a perfect accompaniment. Finally, the price is very close to the people, that is 388,000"
Following the introduction of the shopping guide, Feng Yang also took a liking to this pendant.
But after hearing the last words of the shopping guide, Feng Yang suddenly came to his senses.
'388,000!'
'The price is very close to the people?'
'Miss, I think you have been misusing the words, 'close to the people!'
Feng Yang resisted his strong desire to complain. However, he had some roughly guess about the financial capacity of his boyfriend after spending time together.
Seeing Arthur became evidently interested, Feng Yang asked curiously, "You intend to buy this jade?"
Arthur smiled at the corner of his mouth and replied: "Well ... no... I mean yes!"
Hearing implicit words of Arthur, Feng Yang had some premonition.
However, he had yet to utter a word when Arthur turned to the saleswoman and said: " I'll take this pendant and the previous bracelet!"
...
After swiping his bank card to pay, Arthur immediately took out the violet jade pendant and said: "Feng Yang, come here."
Feng Yang did guess right. Arthur intended to give this pendant as the first gift to his boyfriend.
Although Feng Yang quite liked the pendant, he felt that the price was too expensive. It was quite inappropriate for him to accept it. He doesn't want their new-born love to be stained with materialism.
Feng Yang became silent before he spoke slowly: "Arthur, it's too expensive. I don't want to think that I fell in love with you because of financial motives..."
Before he finished his sentence, his shoulder got whacked.
He raised his head and looked at the youth's frowning eyebrows, clearly evidence of his annoyance.
"Why do you think so much? Do we need to doubt each other?"
"Be simple! I want you to always wear this pendant at your neck. So when I am not in Shanghai, bear in mind that you are already occupied by me!"
Feng Yang looked quietly at the boy. Although he was speaking in a domineering tone, the tips of his ears were clearly flushed red. But perhaps, Arthur was not even aware of it.
Even those words appear quite domineering and somewhat cliché, Feng Yang must admit he felt really moved right now. Putting down the last struggle in his heart, Feng Yang smiled dotingly and whispered: "I'll listen."
Only then was Arthur satisfied. His eyebrows rose smugly.
"That's more I like it."
A minute later. A amethyst-colored pendant hit Feng Yang's collarbone. It contrasted sharply to his fair and flawless skin.
The owner of the collarbone grabbed the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. He then looked at the other boy, who feigned casualness with bleeding red ears. His eyes glittered even more.
Snuggling together side by side, Feng Yang suddenly said in a serious tone: "Arthur, you are so perfect. I feel a lot of pressure."
He is not joking, the better Arthur gets, the more pressure he feels to make himself better as well.
Hearing his words, Arthur smiled sheepishly: "Then you will have to work hard. Otherwise, you will only be my little husband in the future!"
"Arthur!"
Feng Yang's possessiveness was triggered once more and rushed into Arthur's nape and bit him by the neck in one bite.
Soon, there was an additional small red mark on his neck.
"Damn! Are you a dog?... You've left your mark all over my body."
"Puff!"
Hearing this, Feng Yang couldn't help but laugh. And the slight pressure that had risen on his heart suddenly disappeared.
This is why Feng Yang likes Arthur very much. Although this bastard always played tricks on him, he is still always happy being with him.
...
When they walked out of the TaiKoo Hui Shopping Mall, the sky had already begun to darken.
It was late already, so it's quite inappropriate to let Feng Yang prepare the dinner again.
Arthur raised his hand, and looked at the time on his watch and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?".
Arthur thought that the watch was just a piece of decoration before. But it sure does serve its purpose since if he wants to know the time, he doesn't have to take out his phone from his pocket anymore.
Just raising the hand to check on the time is more convenient and compelling.
"It's okay. You can decide!" Feng Yang pursed his mouth.
Arthur is going home tomorrow. Today is his last night in Shanghai, so Arthur plans to choose a better restaurant to draw a perfect ending to his trip in Shanghai.
After taking out his cellphone to check on some of the best restaurants nearby, he quickly selected one.
Radisson Blu revolving restaurant!
This restaurant has a very good reputation on the internet for considerate service, delicious dishes, and has the best chefs gathered from all over the world.
The most important thing is that it is located along Jing'an Wenhai Road, only a few hundred meters away from the apartment, which can be traveled by foot.
As for why he didn't choose the famous Oriental Pearl Revolving Restaurant…
Once a restaurant becomes a famous tourist attraction, the quality of the ingredients used and the taste of the dishes decline rapidly.
This seems to be not an isolated case but also happens anywhere in the world.
Those who opt to eat at the Oriental Pearl Revolving Restaurant are basically not after the food, but the night view of Shanghai.
Another reason would be that they had already enjoyed the night view of the Shanghai when they went to an open-air bar last night, so there is no need to see it again.
"Let's go!"
Arthur put away his mobile phone and they began to walk towards the Radisson Blu Hotel.
They arrived at the Radisson Blu Hotel and took the elevator up to the 45th floor.
The height of the building is about 200 meters. It is not the tallest in the whole of Shanghai, but it is enough to enjoy the night view.
Walking out of the elevator, a waiter immediately greeted them. "Good evening to the both of you."
"Is there still a place near the window?" Arthur asked.
"Yes, there is. Please follow me."
The waiter led them to a table by the window and the two sat down.
Arthur opened the menu and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
For a foodie, choosing food is undoubtedly an extremely serious thing.
Feng Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "For the appetizer, two slices of scallops, pan-seared foie gras, and porcini cappuccino soup. By the way, I want a chocolate mousse for dessert."
After all that, Feng Yang closed the menu and continued, "You can choose the main course."
"For the main course, we'd like Tasmanian Angus Fillet Steak and Pan-fried Salmon!" Arthur decided.
The waiter nodded and asked, "Do you want some wine?"
"Is there an Ace of Spades?" Arthur asked for the wine they drank last night.
"Of course, which one would you want?" the waiter asked.
"The gold version!"
Arthur already drank the black version last night and wanted to try the other versions.
"Okay. Wait a minute!"
...
The restaurant is very distinctive. The kitchen walls are transparent floor-to-ceiling glasses where you can see through the chefs making the food.
Turning your head to the other side, one can enjoy the night view.
The restaurant actually rotates very slowly, that is every 90 minutes.
The speed is just right and allows the diners to enjoy the night view at 360 degrees without much discomfort.
Soon, the waiter served the wine. He opened it and poured in a glass for each of them.
Arthur picked up the wine glass and took a sip as he gently touched it with Feng Yang's.
After tasting it meticulously, he suddenly smiled and said, "It seems I am not the kind of person who can appreciate the taste of the wine."
"What?" Feng Yang was taken aback for a moment and thought of something, then replied, "Yeah, me too!"
Having tried both the black and gold versions, Arthur thinks that there is actually no difference between the tastes of the two.
The prices of the two versions are actually significantly different.
The black version is 8800 a bottle while the gold is only 3200.
Arthur couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that he still has a long way to becoming a true male god.
Not only because of wealth but because he couldn't distinguish the taste of the wines.
After waiting for a few minutes, the appetizer was served.
The scallops are cut as thin as the cicada's wings topped with clear salmon bits and a green sauce at the bottom which resembles luscious green water…
After tasting the appetizer, Arthur nodded in satisfaction. It has a crisp, and sweet and sour taste, with a unique fragrance of seafood which was very suitable for an appetizer.
"What do you think?" Arthur asked.
"Humm... still not as good as mine." Feng Yang answered with a tone of pride.
"Ah... yes yes... My Yang is the best!". Arthur replied with a hearty smile.
The waiter on the side is also very attentive and poured some more wine and changed the dish plates at the right time.
After eating, both of them were satisfied.
Especially the pan-seared salmon, Arthur liked it very much.
As for the steak, it tasted mediocre.
"Bill out please!"
After receiving the bill, Arthur glanced at it and ticked the highest possible percentage of the tip.
The tip for this western restaurant is proportionate to the meal cost. If you feel that the service was poor, you can choose the lowest percentage.
Arthur feels that the service tonight was good and so deserves such a tip.
Arthur's bank card was swiped for a total of 6920.20 because the gold version of the Ace of Spades cost a lot.
The price is actually similar to the meal they had in the Four Seasons Hotel restaurant, but the taste is relatively different.
Overall, the restaurant is very commendable.
Feng Yang's face was a little red as if he was a little drunk.
Both of them nestled to each other on their way home.
Walking out of the Radisson Blu Hotel, Arthur whispered in his ear and said, "Feng Yang, let's play something new tonight!"
