Waiting for a long time, Captain

Chapter 6 A Destined Coincidence

Gu Zeng was finally woken up by the flight attendant, and everyone on the plane went down, leaving her alone, and the place beside her had been cold for a long time.

She went out with her luggage and saw Qingya waiting for her at the exit.The pretty woman smiled at her impatiently: "Miss Gu, since you disappeared last night, don't you need to explain to me?"

Knowing that she was wrong, she repeatedly admitted her mistakes, but she couldn't escape Qing Ya's repeated questioning, so she had to tell the truth: "I met a man."

"So you went with him?"

That's right.

"The person who notified me of your whereabouts at the club and the person who asked me to get off the plane and wait here are all that man?"

maybe.

"Gu Xiaobai, then I would like to ask, who is this rumored affair, do you know?"

"not sure."

If it was not in Atlanta, but in India, or in ancient and mysterious cities like Nepal, she might have thought that it was a ghost hunter who had jumped into the red dust from the low walls of the ancient temples in the Far East.It has great self-control and coldness, but also has abstinence-like romance and dignity.He is like the moonlight floating on the top of the sky, so bright and gentle.

"I think he is a somewhat dangerous man."

"Oh, my God!" Qingya held her face and laughed out of disbelief, "Gu Xiaobai, I feel like you've fallen."

Not sure, maybe earlier than she could recall.

Because she lost her mobile phone, she had no way to contact her parents, so she had to take her luggage and go home first.I fell asleep after taking a bath, and didn't wake up until I was hungry, and it was already dark.Her culinary skills are really not very good. She was often scolded in Paris before, and she lost her motivation later.Sometimes I can't remember whether I cook and eat for myself or for others.

She took out her computer and went online, and she got in touch with Xu Shen.In the dark room, Mu Ran is talking about buying insurance. He is an actuary and a financial planner, and his friends in the circle basically turn to him for financial management, and Xu Shen is no different. He invests all his money.In the end, for some reason, Cen Today was mentioned again.

Xu Shen: I heard from Lu Zhao that the captain just returned to China today, so you may be on the same flight.You two are destined to disappear together and appear together.

She drank water and unconsciously looked at the gloomy head.

Xu Shen was still teasing, but she lost her mind.The two talked for a while, but the dark room suddenly became lively, and a lot of gossip led to Xu Shen's ex.Lu Zhao is most interested in her battle-hardened past.

She looked at it with her chin up, and took out the souvenirs she bought in Atlanta this time, and placed them neatly on the dressing table.Unexpectedly, I was attracted by a painting in the black room that was swiping the screen.After putting down the things, she hugged the notebook and lay on the bed to read it carefully. It was a self-portrait of a character, with a rich oil painting style.

The person at the small window turned on the headset, and said to himself: "A few years ago in Yunnan, the old painter who happened to meet painted for an old porter on the construction site. What do you see?" The voice was slightly hoarse, with a strong nasal voice.

She probably guessed something, didn't ask, just followed his words: "Very beautiful eyes, I see tranquility and compassion in them."

"A stunning work in the ordinary, the silent eye shape is like a lying bow, expressing omniscience and gentle image."

"It's very similar to your eyes." Clear, quiet, and thrilling black pupils, Terrence.

Only after hearing his voice can she be sure that it is him.The dangerous man she met many times in Atlanta was him, the man she had thought about for a long, long time in her heart.

The headset didn't speak for a while, she almost thought he was offline, but suddenly heard his explanation, "I was watering the flowers just now."

She could imagine that when he said this, he was mostly gentle, but his voice and tone now were very different from those in Atlanta.It seemed that in that city, he just wanted to exile himself.Here, however, he is utterly self-denying and single-mindedly avoids something.

She wanted to take back what she just said.The eyes of the people in the oil painting are only quiet and compassionate.And he is obviously full of temptation, hiding a huge poison of poppy.It's tenderness, it's a curse.

Gu Zeng intertwined his hands and folded them tightly, sweating from his grip.She seemed really stuck.

"I haven't told you the ending of the last story. The one-armed man met a beautiful and enthusiastic girl in the wilderness." In the quiet night, his voice was always so low and tired. After talking about that story, when the man was preparing When she gathered up her self-esteem and accepted the warmth and approach of reality, the girl still did not escape the eyes of secular ethics and left him.

"Why?" she wanted to ask.

"Most people in this world lose the courage to pursue love because of the reality and cruelty of the living environment. Perhaps it is best for them to maintain the status quo. It takes courage to take a step forward, and they may still be hurt. , so I would rather be a turtle and accept a stable life."

Gu Zeng no longer looked at the painting, she closed her eyes, her voice trembling slightly: "No, why is it not the end of this story that I want to ask." Is it just a story, or is it full of hints?She didn't want to search, but just wanted to know his thoughts, "In Atlanta, you recognized me, but why didn't you tell me?"

If she hadn't met him three years ago, would she have just regarded it as an ordinary affair?Met a beautiful man in a foreign country, calm down and forget everything after returning home?Don't know because those are fake.The only real thing is that he knew it was her, but he didn't recognize her.

There was still noise in the black room, but it was unknown when the wind direction had changed.Originally talking about Xu Shen's affair, but now it was transferred to her.

Xu Shen: Where did Gu Xiaobai get his ex from?She just dived into the flies, first she had a crush on someone for more than ten years, and then she had a crush on that person for five or six years, so many years in a blink of an eye.She lost her best time to that person, and it's a pity that she is still too old to wake up, and she is not in a hurry.You said that such an old girl with yellow flowers would believe it?
She turned on the mic and everyone could hear it, including him.

Xu Shen is still promoting her, saying that she has fair skin, looks good and thin, feels good to the touch, doesn't eat much, and is easy to take care of.Feelings are simple, just single-minded...

Fireworks were suddenly set off outside the window, she couldn't hear clearly, she stood up suddenly and went to the kitchen to find water to drink, but her heart felt as uncomfortable as a fire.No matter how good a person is, if he never cares, he is really useless.He never responded, and his profile picture was also grayed out.

Cen was really tired today. This time in Atlanta, he had a big fight with Qu Yanran, because she drank too much every night and refused to cherish her body.It was like trying to get his care, and he really cared, but she felt that it was not enough, it was never enough, it was far from enough.Sometimes when I stop and look at the woman standing in front of me, I feel that this is the most chaotic period in ten years, waiting for a woman who doesn't care about me at all, and the rest is only tired.

He had just slammed the door of the hospital that day when it began to rain cats and dogs outside.When you come out of the small road at the corner, you will see the Grand Theater, and then you will see her.She sat by the window of the cafe and looked at him, exactly as she had imagined.

He recognized her the first time he saw her.Later, it was really a coincidence, Lu Jin liked to hang out in strip clubs, and used to look for him there a lot.Seeing her being caught by the underground trader, I was really angry and helpless.As for whether to recognize her or not, some things have been stripped of their essence, and it still needs to be done step by step.If you are sure it is him, no explanation is needed.If it weren't for him, no amount of explanation would be of any use.

Lu Zhao was also at his house, found a drink, and talked about the problem just mentioned, he couldn't believe it.It turned out that in his file, there really was a girl named Gu Zeng who suffered from grief.He almost excitedly called Xu Shen to confirm, and even wanted Gu Zeng's photo, but in Cen's eyes today, he seemed to be sure.

"Why can you recognize her?"

"Voice, shape, and appearance are different for everyone, and they give people different feelings." He squinted and couldn't lift his eyelids from exhaustion, "I once adjusted her file in Changhong, and she seems to be living a very happy life in recent years. it is good."

The soft yellow light in the room shone on his face, cutting a black and blue shadow.There was something wrong with Lu Zhao's intuition, and he leaned against the wall and asked with a smile, "Is there anything special to gain from going to Atlanta this time?"

Cen half responded today: "Yes."

"Did I meet Gu Zeng, or is it over with Yan Ran?"

He didn't speak, and Lu Zhao didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at him with deep meaning: "Ah Cen, don't let the emotions Qu Yanran brings to you affect your judgment."

Not very, at least not to her, so I went offline in time.For many years in the past, he was affected by the emotions imposed by Qu Yanran, it's not that he didn't think about finding other women.It's just that most of the time I can't go on, and I don't force myself later.

Lu Zhao has always been brooding over Qu Yanran's departure. Her actions alone not only took away his best brother since childhood, but also took away their entire youth.Sometimes he was really afraid that Cen would become stubborn today and spend his whole life on that woman Qu Yanran, so he felt resentful to some extent.How can one person's feelings affect another person so selfishly for so many years?She got married in Atlanta, gave birth to a child, divorced and remarried, and now she is divorced again. It has been ten years, and the total length is no more than the bottom line of waiting alone.It should be completely withdrawn, right?
"Do you still remember why you suddenly returned to China?"

Three years ago, when I first met Gu Zengshi who was suffering from grief, it was also the time when Qu Yanran married someone else without saying a word.She didn't inform him, but he still heard the good news from Lu Zhao.For a while, I felt that the time was too long, so long that people always felt gloomy when looking at the sky, and their mood was also dusty. There was no other way, and I couldn't find any other better way, so I had to go back to China for a short stay.

"I used to be unable to figure out many things, but now I feel that there is no need to think about many things, as long as I do it. Lu Zhao, I can finally choose to be loyal to my heart."

Gu Zeng didn't reverse his night errand, and didn't go to work the next day.It just so happened that Xu Shen finished his business and rushed back from Shanghai, and invited Qingya and the three of them to have dinner together.Just looking at the former's face full of wind and frost, it really makes people imagine.

Qingya couldn't help gossip again: "I said Xu Shen, don't you have no passion with that boyfriend of yours?"

"It's one thing to have no passion. I'm tired from busy work. It's my fault. Look at why Xiaobai doesn't quarrel with me? I don't feel bad for working so hard!"

Pushing over a cup of coffee, Qingya hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Okay, okay, I'll treat you to this meal."

Gu Zeng laughed, eating with the two of them is always beneficial, and it is not her turn to pay the bill every time.Listening to them chatting, they turned on the newly bought mobile phone to play. It was introduced by Xu Shen, who said that it was a new model this year... Well, the price is also very new.

"Xiaobai, do you know? Cen returned with us yesterday. I just heard that he was unwell and didn't fly. The point is, I heard that a woman came back with him. Fortunately, I didn't fly in the business class. Otherwise, I would have to flesh out that woman. According to the flight attendant in the business class, that woman also belongs to Changhong, it seems to be from the ground staff, who could it be?"

Gu Zeng swallowed a sip of coffee in embarrassment, did not dare to speak, and pretended to be familiar with the new mobile phone seriously.

With a "ding", there was news coming in, and she clicked on it to see: I heard that there is one of the oldest flower shops on Faubourg-Saint-Honoré Street in France, and the cattleya orchids in it are world-famous. I'll bring back a pot for you to raise, okay?
This kind of tone seems to be only him. Is he going to fly to France?Paris, that place... She replied very seriously, saying that she is not very good at taking care of small plants, and she is worried that she will not be able to support them.

But he came back quickly: Paris is rainy, which is not suitable for Cattelan's growth.The weather in Beijing is just right.

Why do you feel like you're coaxing her?She was inexplicably happy, but she just got a new phone, so she returned very slowly.

Qingya cleared her throat, glanced sideways at her and asked, "Is that the affair in Atlanta? Gu Xiaobai, you really don't make any noise, and you don't delay things for a moment..."

cough cough.

Xu Shen didn't know about the affair, so he was busy asking, but for some reason, he talked about it in the dark room.

"Hey, there is also a captain in our circle, who just came back yesterday, and I asked Xiaobai if it would be the same flight. Is it such a coincidence?"

"How could it be such a coincidence, Gu Xiaobai is also from the ground support department..." Qingya gritted her teeth.

Sometimes when women gossip, they can create a history book with their sixth sense alone.Gu Zeng knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply admitted his mistake first: "Okay, okay, I confess."

I didn't mention what happened three years ago, but only briefly talked about the incident when he took her out of the club and the airport.Xu Shen couldn't help being curious, and asked Cen today's English name.

In the end, she and Qingya both said "Terrence." It seemed that only Gu Zeng was the last one to know.

"There are many stories on the wireless channel every day, Gu Xiaobai, don't you know that you should pay attention to it? Otherwise, why would you make such a big detour!"

"Is he going to send you world-famous flowers?"

"A rare affair, a rare coincidence, it's like a destiny, why didn't such a romantic man come to me!"

She recognized him, earlier, without needing to be swayed by a name.The connection between them is not famous flowers, spring and autumn flowers and moonlight, but a long time in the past.

Cen is on vacation today, but he still arrived in Changhong. There are a group of new students who want to take the co-pilot test, and Su Jin'an invites him to be a demonstration.Just finished a round of assessment in the simulation cabin, he just thought of her habitually.

I went offline suddenly last night and haven't answered that question yet.I just want to appease her, and I really want to hear stories about her.

The students were talking about the new year's examination system. Su Jin'an tried to talk to him, but he only got a simple response after asking a few questions. When he saw the phone, he also understood.

He was really serious about texting her alone: ​​What's so special about Paris?

special?I think the night cruise on the Seine River is very interesting. At night, the lights on both sides of the river are twinkling, and the wind in the river is clear, elegant and peaceful, just like watercolor paintings.The Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Notre-Dame de Paris, Eiffel Tower and other places of interest passed by one by one. The decorated bridges and sculptures are all like scenes in paintings, which are very beautiful and dreamlike.I think returning from a cruise ship at night will definitely have a good dream.

You said good dream, I think of the story of Cangye.

Gu Zeng pressed the phone with a red face, although the ending of the story was not very happy, but the first encounter was too sexy and violent, she really couldn't tell.Ren Qingya threatened many times, but she never said a word.This is their ascetic secret.

He suddenly called. It seemed that his cold was getting better and his voice was much clearer.

"What else? About Paris."

"What else do you want to hear?"

"Tell me about you."

Gu Zeng stood in the corridor leading to the bathroom, facing the wall and whispering to him.Someone passed by her, looking at this strange girl out of the corner of her eye, talking on the phone as if facing a wall, with some funny smiles.

She could see the international weather on the LCD TV outside the street: On October 24th, it was sunny in Beijing, China, sunny in Atlanta, USA, and Paris, France...overcast.

The place in my memory was indeed rainy and cloudy, and I had to bring an umbrella with me every time I went out, but most of the time I didn’t need it.I always remember that every time I came out of the library and it rained heavily, the people around me crowded under the umbrellas and ran in the rain.At this time, there will always be someone who respectfully drives the car in front of her and asks her for her thoughts.Even if she doesn't want to get in the car, the driver will follow her to any place.

But there's always a curfew, and that person doesn't like her coming back too late.

"He and I are childhood sweethearts, we live in the same compound, and the two families have a very good relationship. He is eight years older than me, and always treats me like a younger sister. I found myself falling in love with him when I was seven years old, but he had already gone abroad Yes. I just waited until I grew up. I went to France when I was 17, but he already had someone he liked. I continued to study there with not very good intentions, and it took two years to see it like this Seeing him not looking back at the person he likes, he suddenly felt that he had lost, and then returned to China to study in university."

"When I first returned to China, I couldn't adjust many emotions. As long as I think of him, I will feel very sad, and I will gradually develop sadness."

"When I was in my third year of junior high school, my grief had improved a lot. When I heard the news that he was in poor health, I couldn't hold back and went to Paris. I didn't know until I arrived that he just used such an opportunity to get married with the person he liked. He is such a proud person, I really never thought that he would choose to get married. In this way, bind the person he likes. "

I always thought that after so many years, I could barely get a position beside him.Yes, she did get it, but not the position she wanted.

Gu Zeng's voice was completely lowered: "In that city, I really hate rain." The rainy weather only added to her sadness. She always swims alone at night on the beautiful Seine River.And the so-called sweet dream is just a play of self-deception.

So many years, time is really too long.The indelible feelings can only make people more sober, soberly understand and realize the truth, he really doesn't love her, never loved her.

But she couldn't blame her, "Paris is a very beautiful place. I was very happy during the few years I was there. He treated me very well and was my dearest person."

Tell him the past without reservation.Cen walked out of the crowd today, his voice stuck in his throat for a while, and he didn't know how to use comforting words to summarize the past ten years.Saying anything is useless.

His voice softened: "During an operation in Atlanta, the border maintenance provoked the enemy's malicious confrontation. At that time, I was not in a good mood. For a while, I thought about being bombed like this. Gu Zeng, others Maybe I can't empathize with your ten years, but I will definitely understand."

The sockets of her eyes were suddenly red, she pressed against the wall and endured it.For so many years, no one has ever said this to her so confidently.There are some things that really exist in this world. If you have never experienced them, you will not be able to feel the grievance and pain in them.

And when he said that, she was sure that he would understand, definitely would understand.

"In Atlanta, I didn't deny you, I just felt that we knew each other earlier."

Several pilot students wanted to ask Cen about today's assessment, but were stopped by Su Jin'an.Just looking at that figure from a distance, I was shocked for no reason.Regarding this miracle in Atlanta, those years that belonged to his fighter years, is it really only full of glory?Lu Jin told him in private not to mention Atlanta, because from now on, it would not be his miracle.

There was a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, and he was stroking it with his fingers. He still remembered the several meetings related to her, and remembered the scene where she squeezed carefully with him in the narrow aisle in the strip club that night.The light is dark, the hands are soft, and her eyes are unbelievably beautiful.

"Gu Zeng, come back from Paris this time, let's meet up."
