Chapter 57 - The Girl

case three girls
Five reports
At 27:[-] a.m. Paris time, the red-eye flight, which was repeatedly delayed due to the weather on the route and the air traffic control at the destination, finally pushed out of the terminal and entered the taxiing queuing stage just before the sunrise broke through the clouds.

Counting the time difference with my fingers, it is almost time for lunch break in China.

Shao Jie held the phone and unconsciously rubbed the puzzle slider on the back of the phone case.He lowered his eyes and stared at the chat interface that Officer Jiang most likely had glanced at and then forgotten about. He calmly raised his index finger and scratched his eyebrows, and added two emoticons that were just right and pitiful. He sent it and jumped up and down as if to show his presence in Officer Jiang's somewhat mediocre life.

Because of a momentary confusion in the mind, he was forced to accept the almost tyrannical invasion of the territory caused by a phone call. It is not certain whether such a close game will bring some emotional benefits, but Police Officer Jiang "became angry from embarrassment" "After two to three days of shelving, Shao Jie had expected it.

In the news, he pitifully asked Police Officer Jiang if he had a chance, but in fact it was just for the purest pleasure of mouth-after all, Officer Jiang is really not good at tolerating a little kid who has only met him for a while without her permission. Unauthorizedly breaking the established boundary relationship, Shao Jie had to hold his own and fight in a roundabout way, resolutely avoiding to push his nose to his face once and take a detour for the rest of his life.

The tiredness of waiting for the flight was transferred throughout the cabin, and the caring flight attendants dimmed the cabin light in a timely manner, and softened the voice of asking for food and beverage needs.

Shao Jie held the meal bag and chewed it tastelessly. The slight burning and soreness in the bottom of his stomach was really disturbing. Even if he closed his eyes and sank into a darkness, his thoughts couldn't stop because of the restlessness and stagnation in his body——that coquettish The girl's oil painting is always stuck in my mind, and the bright flower clusters hang in my memory like blood.

He was still not quite used to falling asleep in the dark space with only the white noise in the cabin, so he sat silently and anxiously for a while, then took out the third-order Rubik's cube that he had carried in his pocket in advance, and turned it blindly with one hand, and held it with the other hand. Cheeks, staring blankly at the sea of ​​clouds, mountains and mist outside the porthole, until a small head with breakfast cheese hanging from the corner of its mouth rustled on the seat behind it, and stared at Rubik's Cube curiously for a long while, Excitedly and tenderly, he touched Shao Jie's hair leaning against the edge of the porthole window.

"You don't want to sleep either, do you? I don't want to sleep either." The little boy raised his forearm shaped like a lotus root, and was very good at "buying people's hearts" and handed him a toffee, then quietly attached it to his mouth half-covered. In Shao Jie's ear, "Can I play with you? Or can I invite you to play with me? Quietly, don't disturb others."

Shao Jie was stunned for a moment by this childish-looking little gentleman. He straightened up a little subconsciously to consult the child's parents. After getting the enthusiastic and apologetic approval from the child's father, he just refused to sleep with the child. The little Doudin, who was suffering from jet lag, had his head on his head, and they became like brothers and sisters during the slightly long flight. Even with the kind invitation and guidance of the parents who are well-matched, cute and extremely tolerant, they upgraded from a casual companion. Becoming a trustworthy "local companion", he carried this little boy who was born in France but spoke with a Sheng'an accent all the way out of the border to find his beloved sister. He didn't even have time to say a word to his club teammates who landed on the same flight and were waiting for their luggage. After saying hello, I wrapped myself up in my cotton-padded clothes and rushed from the airport exit to the scattered pick-up staff in the middle of the night.

Domestic time has already passed freezing. It hasn't rained in Sheng'an for the past two days. The dry and cold air rushed into his nose, irritating Shao Jie and making him want to sneeze.

He rubbed his nose and could only vaguely hear the little Doudin who was wrapped into a cotton ball by his parents yelling "Momo", and then he tried his best to shake off Shao Jie's clinging hand, which was unexpectedly responsible for raising the baby. It seemed as if he was bumping into a squatting figure with arms spread out not far away.Shao Jie first chased the little cotton ball in the direction of the rampage. The moment Ku Xun's gaze settled down, he suddenly froze where he was, his eyes staring straight into the pair of eyes that saw the "incoming creature" and "accompanying creature". Species." The corners of his eyes were suddenly full of surprise and softness, and he took a few steps in her direction in confusion and panic.

It turned out...it was Jiang Mo.

Shao Jie flickered his dull eyelashes, and quickly resumed the game with a bit of grandeur—from the last name on the ticket stub that he glanced at when he was seated in the cabin to the faintly resembling eyebrows and eyes of Xiao Douding's mother, Shao Jie recalled his first time again. When I ran into Jiang Mo smiling like a flower, I overheard the news that Jiang Mo's family seemed to have lived abroad for a long time...

Only then did Shao Jie become bewildered and enlightened. It turned out that the friend he had formed a friendship with during the long-distance flight and decided to keep in touch with him turned out to be Jiang Mo's half-brother——

That means, maybe in Jiang Mo's eyes, Shao Jie might really be on the same level of communication as her younger brother who knows how to talk sweetly when he sees a handsome guy or a pretty girl... probably at the same time that he is sometimes terribly annoying The sometimes endearing kindergarten age.

Shao Jie wrinkled his nose in a complicated mood, and met his eyes with Xiao Douding, who was being lifted up by police officer Jiang and was so happy.

"Ms. Jiang—that's the kid's mother. She took a photo and sent it to me when she got on the plane, saying that she happened to be on the same flight as some e-sports players. I saw that it was the same flight number as the one you had yelled about picking up in advance. I also sent you a message, asking if the manager of your unit doesn’t care about picking you up in the middle of the night, and if you need to drop by to pick you up, didn’t you see it?”

Jiang Mo picked up the entangled little cotton ball and shook it a few times, automatically blocked Jiang He and sent a photo, along with a proposal to find a wealthy son-in-law for Jiang Mo. Shao Jie, who was still looking stupid, took a few steps, raised his eyelids and looked at him for a while: "Yesterday when I posted the photo, I was smiling like an idiot. Today, the dark circles under my eyes are almost hitting my feet... Do you have something on your mind?"

"No...no. I've been following Eden since we got on the plane, and I haven't even had time to look at my phone yet." Jiang Mo's tone was obviously more confident than doubtful. Shao Jie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have some concerns about Jiang Mo. Error in judgment.When he heard her keen yet unfocused concern, the corners of his mouth, which were tense and concerned about his mental age just now, immediately raised: "I just didn't sleep well. I kept teaching him how to play the Rubik's Cube on the plane."

Shao Jie paused deliberately, cleared his throat, and took a serious step sideways, blocking Jiang Mo's sight of watching the passengers at the exit: "So, are you really here to pick me up?"
