At lunchtime, Romeo had already dressed up and combed his hair, sitting in the main seat of the dining table.
"Did you leave the home number or my cellphone number to the police? "Romeo took a bite of salad.
"I left both. "Judy was distressed and had to keep telling a lie.
"That's nice... Coincidentally, I don't have much work today. I will go to the company later to pick something up and then help you familiarize yourself with the surrounding roads.
"I just went to the radio station last night, and today I got the chance to visit the record company. This is truly not an experience that ordinary fans can have. In 2023, people even have to stay by their phones staring at the stopwatch to grab concert tickets!" Judy sat in the car, thinking about her experiences in the past two days, feeling ecstatic.
"Waiting in the parking lot is boring, isn't it?" Romeo came back wearing sunglasses and carrying a pile of letters and gifts in his arms.
He placed the items given by fans on the rear seat of the car, fastened his seat belt, turned on the car stereo, and rolled up the pitch-black and opaque windows.
"Now to your left is the Happy Valley Racecourse. If you take a bus or taxi along the Queen's Road that we are currently on, then turn onto Kennedy Road at the front intersection and you can go home. Of course, you can also go home from Central. I will take you around Central later..." Romeo patiently introduced the surrounding things.
"I surely know it's Happy Valley Racecourse, I traveled there. As a shopping enthusiast living in the 2020s, I may be more familiar with Central and Causeway Bay than you, a native-born here! But is this the problem now? The problem now is how can I travel back to the era I belong. "Judy pondered this question in her heart, becoming increasingly depressed.
"What is your hometown like? "Romeo scanned her expression out of the corner of his eye, thinking she was homesick.
Judy fell silent for a few seconds: "It's very similar to Hong Kong, with many mountains and residential and high-rise buildings. The only difference is that Hong Kong faces the sea and Chongqing faces the river. Have you heard of the Yangtze River? The Yangtze River flows through the busiest part of the city, which is in front of my house.
"High-rise buildings? "In Romeo's past observations, high-rise buildings in mainland China were concentrated in cities like Guangzhou, and he was also curious if he knew too little about the mainland.
Judy finally realized that she was depicting Chongqing from the 1990s perspective, but that doesn't matter. Revealing some future events was actually more interesting. So she continued to describe: "Yes. Because Chongqing was the wartime capital, it was already quite developed in the 1930s. Because houses were built on the mountains when it comes to night, there will be thousands of lights and rows of lights, and the night scenery is extremely beautiful. Chongqing is also known as the 'Little Hong Kong of the Mainland'.
"From your description, it seems indeed a beautiful place! I really hope to reach 1997 soon so that I can go to your hometown to hold a concert!" Romeo's eyes suddenly flashed, "Actually, you don't have to miss home too much. Everyone will encounter some challenges in life, such as me. Recently, I wanted to expand my career into the film industry and fought for a certain role for a long time, but in the end, I failed." Saying that, he smiled awkwardly.
"97? "Judy only then remembered that the superstar in front of her was about to fall in four or five years. She also thought that even if something as bizarre as time travel had happened to her, she might as well learn from the protagonists in time travel novels and do all the stupid things: try to change Romeo's fate.
So she almost jumped up from her seat and said: "Sounds genius! You won't be disappointed if you come to Chongqing to hold a concert. Do you know how many influential figures Chongqing has produced? You just lost one character. There are so many historical figures in Chongqing that you can't finish them all..."
