Heart Hunting novel Chapter 89

The Rainbow tunnel is a tunnel with numbers of lights which are gradually changing colors. The color sequence is completely in accordance with the rainbow, which is composed of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. So it fits the name of the rainbow tunnel very well.

The colorful light would also flow like wave or various other irregular combinations, making people enjoy it very much.

Beautiful scenery is usually attractive. Most of the people who come here to enjoy the light show are couples. They are hand in hand, looking very intimate. Some are families who are near here. They come here with their children, looking very warm.

When Poppy and Kenny walk through the tunnel in this atmosphere, it’s easy to be misunderstood as a couple.

As they walk side by side, Poppy recalls an article about this city that she has read. She asks Kenny on purpose, “you know what it’s called here, right?”

This question is so stupid. Kenny thinks, and answers her next second. “Rainbow tunnel.”

“Then do you know what the nickname is here?” Poppy raises her eyebrows and looks at him as he is embarrassed.

Kenny, who is competitive, doesn’t believe that she knows it. “You know that?”

“This light sea is also called Romeo and Juliet. It is said that as long as the lovers who really love each other come here to make a wish, they will get married eventually...”

Kenny chuckles. “Are you kidding me?”

It is just a tunnel. How can it make wishes come true, even make lovers get married eventually? Does she really think he is only a three-year-old boy?

Poppy rolls her eyes and says, “I read it in an introduction article about this city.”

Once by chance, she saw an introduction book about the scenery of this city. And she bought it out of curiosity. There is a detail introduction of this place.

“Interesting. I don’t believe in that kind of story.” Kenny says.

“A man without any spiritual belief is pathetic!” Poppy says that on purpose.

“Hey! You have spiritual belief. Tell me, what is it?” Kenny asks unintentionally. But Poppy’s expression suddenly changes.

Her eyes flash a fierce light, and her expression becomes serious. She stares at him. “Revenge!”

Now that he has already known her story, she doesn’t care to tell him the ultimate goal in her heart.

Her seriousness makes Kenny a little surprised. When he is just about to talk, two little boys chasing behind disturbs him.

The little boys chase after each other regardless of what kind of public place it is. The taller boy runs as fast as lightning. He bumps against them and rush away.

However, the little boy behind him is obviously not so flexible as him. He bumps to Poppy’s legs. Poppy can’t balance her gravity for a while, and is about to fall down.

Kenny quickly holds her shoulder and pulls her to his arms.

The double force seems to hit her heart. She can’t help looking up at his face with confused in her eyes. Her mind is blank. After she realizes what’s going on, she frowns a bit.

The sharp breath of him makes her contradict.

Kenny doesn’t think much. He looks down at her with his eyebrows frowned slightly. “Are you OK?” He asks worriedly.

She can feel his breath on her face. Poppy pushes him away subconsciously. “I’m fine.”

The little boy realizes that he has bumped against someone. He stops running and goes to Poppy. Then he pulls her sleeve and says, “I’m sorry, lady.” He apologizes.

Poppy bends down and says to him seriously, “be careful. This is a pubic place, not a place for you to play games. What if you bump into an old man?”

“OK. I...I won’t do that again...” The little boy nods his head nervously. He is so afraid that he stammers a bit.

Poppy looks up at the boy who has run away. She says, “go. You brother is far away.”

When the little boy is just about to run again, he looks back at Poppy who is still staring him. He stops at once and walks slowly.

Kenny can’t help laughing. He walks up to her. “Why are you so serious even with a child?”

“When he does a wrong thing, he does it wrong. I can’t connive him.” Poppy put away the serious expression and watches the boy ahead walking.

“All right. Kenny holds her shoulder again. Poppy tries to get rid of them, but he explains first. “It’s narrow here, I have nowhere to put my hands.”

As the front tunnel narrows and the tourists behind crowds up , the distance between them is really close.

Poppy says, “Don’t still sell lovely when you get the cheapness.”

“Actually, with our relationship, it’s so normal to hug you.” Kenny shows a sinister smile.

“I’m gonna charge for that.” Said Poppy.

“Are you a prostitute? They charge.” Kenny raises his eyebrows. “If you admit it, then I can give you money.”

“Screw you!” She deliberately raises her foot and steps on the back of his foot with the heel.

“Ouch...” Kenny gets hurt.

The the tunnel widens, Poppy shakes off her hands and strides forward.

“Nice shot, you little pepper.” Kenny wiggles his instep. After the pain is relieved a little, he walks forward to catch up with her.

They walks out of the tunnel and are about to walk to the main road to pick the car. A young man runs over and shouts, “mister, mistress, please wait a minute.”

The man is at most 20 years old. He is dressed in hip-hop style. There is a large SLR hanging on his chest. Obviously, he is a photographer.

Poppy immediately denies, “don’t call me mistress, I’m not his wife!”

However, Kenny holds her tightly and says to the man. “Yes, she is. My wife is angry with me now. What’s the matter?”

Poppy frowns at him. She tries to struggle, but it is in vain.

The young man adjusts his glasses, trying to get rid of the embarrassment. He hands them the photo in his hand. “Please excuse me, I accidentally took a picture of you when I was taking photos in the tunnel just now. I’ve already used a fast printing machine to print it. Here it is.”

Kenny takes the picture on his hand and look at it. There is flight with amazed flash in his eyes. The moment in the picture is when she is hit by the boy...

Poppy also looks at it curiously. In the photo, she was held by Kenny in his arms, he was protecting her. And there was a sense of worried in his eyes...

People who don’t know anything will definitely mistakenly think at first glance that they are lovers or a couple. The young man still adds, “when I looks at the nervous eyes of this gentlemen, I knew you must be a couple!”

Poppy feels shameful of such a photo. When she is just about to takes it, Kenny stops her. He takes out his wallet and asks, “how much is it? I’ll pay you as I’m supposed to.”

“Oh, you don’t need to pay. Photography is my hobby. The photo is for free. I’m glad you like it.” The young man refuses and turns away to leave.

Seeing him go far, Kenny looks down at the photo again, and says to Poppy proudly, “see? This is what fate is.”

Poppy is a little resistant. She reaches out, “give me the photo.”

“No way. It’s mine!” Kenny refuses. He puts the photo into his purse like it is a treasure.

Poppy knows she definitely can’t get the photo back. So she just ignores him and walks forward.

Kenny looks at the photo with satisfaction. He smiles, and keeps up with her.
