Waiting for a long time, Captain

Chapter 8 The Unavoidable Warmth

There was a buzzing sound as the water boiled. Gu Zeng took out two glasses from the cupboard, poured hot water in one and red wine in the other, and brought them into the room.

Qingya was scrolling through Changhong's forums, without exception, there were hot topics such as "Cen Ji's airborne coffee shop that does not eat fireworks", "rumored mysterious girlfriend".I couldn't wait to rush to her house as soon as I got off the plane, just to watch the gossip?
"The wireless channels are all exploding, Gu Xiaobai, I think you're going too fast in the dark!" Qingya took a sip of red wine and put the glass on the window sill.

A little to the left is the world famous flower she just brought back, the purple Cattleya is also called "Long River".It sounds good, it's very flavorful, and there may be a long story.

She lay on the bed, pressed her legs and said, "I just had a meal with him." What she thought in her heart was that he should like orchids very much.Whether it is the beauty of Jianhu Lake or this Cattleya, they are all famous orchids.

"Don't lie to me." Qingya pointed to the photo on the screen. I don't know who took it. In the picture, he was looking at her very seriously. Maybe it was when he said that his arm had undergone skin grafting. .A very serious topic, when it came to Qingya, it became a meeting of minds.

She kicked her legs and laughed, with some lingering fears in her heart: "When you were studying, there was a boy chasing you. You took a look at him and you were very focused. Why didn't you see your mind and heart with him?"

"I was trying to force him back with my eyes."

"Oh, it's very possible that he is also reminding me with his eyes. Maybe, no, he just looked at it."

"Gu Zeng, Gu Xiaobai, don't explain any more." She hugged the computer and grabbed her hand firmly and deeply, "Your current posture is completely Cen's captive today."

The palms of my hands are full of sweat. Whenever I am nervous, if I tell a lie, I will be exposed.Both Qingya and Xu Shen knew her fatal spot, and they had a clear expression on their faces.Well, she doesn't explain.

Qingya was still scrolling through the forum, and she didn't finish reading through many pages. She rushed over and hugged her, and asked her with emotion: "Xiaobai, you have liked Lu Zhongnian for so many years, do you still like him now?"

Probably because she was afraid that she would experience that pain again, she could feel her friend's worry.

"I like it." She said slowly, with her arms and legs spread out, lying comfortably on the bed, "I still like it very much." It's just why some feelings in this world come so easily and so quickly...

When I went to work the next day, the airborne ground crew supervisor had already taken up his post. I heard that she was the daughter of the big boss.Very capable and shrewd, he held an emergency meeting as soon as he arrived, and laid out all the problems of the ground support department, big and small, and gave everyone a severe blow.

When the meeting was over, it was already lunch time, Asura pulled Gu Zeng's sleeve, and complained desperately: "The new official took office three times, my God, I didn't do a single thing today!" At the risk of killing chickens and monkeys, she was pulled aside and tortured, "Gu Zeng, am I your friend?"

"Yes... yes."

"Do you trust me?"

"trust."

"Then next time you date Cen Ji, give me first-hand information, okay? You don't know, I made a bet with someone on the wireless channel last night, you are my good friend, we have already bet, bet on you Where is the next date in Changhong!"

If it is said that it is a simulated cabin, will anyone believe it?
When it was almost time to get off work, he called: "There will be a group of students who will take a mock assessment in the evening, and some of them can't leave now. I prepared some small tools for growing flowers for you at home, is it convenient to come and get them?"

She didn't even think about any inconvenience, so she walked over to the operation department.Along the way, he was followed by many people with all kinds of curious and inquiring eyes, which made him a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, he opened the cabin door and closed it in time, blocking all kinds of interesting things from the cabin.

She stood in the cabin for a while, then suddenly remembered what was in her hand, and handed it to him: "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I bought a sandwich on the way, is that okay?"

"Yes." He took it, tore open the outer package, and took out a bag from the back of the seat without rushing to eat, "Here is a small shovel for turning the soil, a kettle, and some decorative soil, but it's best not to use it." Cattleya is not easy to raise, if you have time, you can go to the market to buy some soil and turn it over.”

She listened carefully, nodded, and didn't look carefully. The colorful stones in the bag were probably what he said were for decoration.

He suddenly asked again: "How are you working today?"

"Ok?"

"I heard that you have a new supervisor?"

"You know all about this..."

He sat down a little to the side, pointed at the cloud image on the screen, and couldn't help laughing, "On this screen, the sky is only that big, not to mention Changhong."

It was the first time for her to see the entire sky from such a position. Although it was simulated, it was very real, with a wide view, and a large cloud was flying towards her.

She played for a while, and he had finished his sandwich, pulled the joystick back, and whispered, "Flying to Atlanta tomorrow."

"Oh." She had to look away from the monitor, and she casually looked at the stones in the bag.He seems to fly there a lot.

"The closer the year goes, the more frequent international flights will be."

She made a muffled "hmm".

He raised his head and glanced over: "Gu Zeng, you..."

"Huh? Xu Shen asked me to have dinner together, she is still waiting for me, I have to go first." She stood up suddenly, and pushed open the cabin door.

The sensor door is very heavy, and usually requires skill. She pulled it hastily, but her arm hurts from being pulled by gravity, and she couldn't help moaning.Cen came over quickly today and quickly pulled back.Leaning against the door, his gaze drooped, seeing her somewhat red wrist, he wanted to say something but stopped.

Gu Zeng looked back at him, still leaning against the door, with a faint smile on his lips, showing no emotion.

Chatting in the black room at night, Lu Zhao proposed to come out to play together on Saturday, and everyone agreed without any objection.

After chatting for a while, I didn’t know how to talk about Changhong’s architectural design. Cute is a garden designer. Changhong’s original plan was built by him. Speaking of the big boss who hired him at that time, he was also rich and powerful. It is said that it is Nanyang. The wealthy businessman who returned has passed down the wealth of several generations in his family.

With the microphone on, Gu Zeng listened casually, but his eyes stopped on the video on the phone.The mobile phone was stolen in Atlanta before, and I don't know what to think. After changing to a new mobile phone, I downloaded the video of his first test flight.When I actually met him, and saw him dodging the airflow in the clouds in the video, and quickly pulling down the joystick in the simulation cabin, a lot of emotions slowly surged up.

That day in the simulated cabin, she interrupted him, what exactly was it?Couldn't help being curious, but didn't dare to explore.Covered by the quilt, she sighed a long time, and then got out. In the dark room, Su Wan, the rumored daughter of the big boss, had already been talked about.

Qing Ya probably told Xu Shen that the hottest topic on the Changhong Forum today was a comment under the post where she and Cen had dinner today, satirizing her mediocre family background and not being worthy of the proud son of heaven.

Someone commented below, Su Wan can give Cen Ji the whole Changhong.

Qingya was so angry when she saw it, she told her about it at that time, and she must have complained to Xu Shen as well.

Xu Shen couldn't help but want to vent her anger on her: I've never seen such a tyrannical woman, if I like it, I go after her, what's the matter with being sarcastic?Her family is famous, did she earn it?Besides, what does love have to do with money...

Cute: Wait a minute, are the protagonists of this post the captain and Xiaobai?Is the captain one of our captains?Is Xiaobai our Xiaobai here?

Lu Zhao: Obviously, both are.

Cute: OMG!Love comes too fast, like a tornado.

Gu Zeng couldn't let Xu Shen go on talking, worried that it would cause trouble to him, so he quickly explained that they were just ordinary friends.

Mu Ran: Did she bully you?
Cute: Xiaobai, don't be afraid, brother is protecting you.

Gu Zeng: No, I...

The voice was interrupted, someone snatched the microphone, and coughed twice, as if he had just woken up, his voice was hoarse with sleepiness, and it was still at the usual low temperature, saying: I don't need the whole Changhong either.

The unexpected reply quickly disappeared without a trace.Lu Zhao burst out laughing wildly, yelling that Xu Shen must be too loud and woke up Cen today.Xu Shen answered the words and scolded him, but Gu Zeng suddenly got off the mic.

Yu Yin seemed to hear Xu Shen complimenting her, and finally he saw men better.

There are many situations that have made her more calm after grief.Sometimes I feel that it is a gift from heaven to meet such a good person at such a time.The rest are always a little more careful.But he seemed to be speaking for her, how could he feel so happy.

Suddenly a text message came into the phone, it was sent by Cen today: The story I told you before, the girl left that man, but regretted it all her life.Get a complete and sound body, maybe the love you want is not as passionate as it was at first.Some things in this world cannot be explained with reason, analyzed with reason, and measured with the mentality of a bystander.

He should have woken up completely, Gu Zeng fell on the bed and just chatted with him casually.

Gu Zeng: I'm fine, but I woke you up.

Cen Today: I just woke up and was boiling milk.It's not good to turn day and night upside down, and try to sleep as much as possible later.

Gu Zeng: Do you often do this?

Cen Today: No, just recently.By the way, my colleagues in Atlanta told me that the two children I met at the airport last time were safely escorted back home.

Gu Zeng: That's great.

Cen Today: The chances of returning to my hometown to reunite with my family is not high, they are very smart.

Gu Zeng: I was almost lost when I was a child. My father took me shopping in the mall. It happened to be the weekend, and there were many people in the mall. My father forgot to take something, so he told me to wait for him at the door, and then there was an uncle. Said to buy me candied haws to eat, and took me to find my father.

Cen Today: And then?
Gu Zeng: I am also very smart. I refused to leave for life and death, and my father came back after a while.

Cen Today: Really?

Gu Zeng: I was seen through by you, but I actually don’t like eating candied haws...

Thinking about it now, she really almost became a lost child. If that was the case, wouldn't she be able to meet him?

How weird it felt, so happy.

Cen Today: There is a feeling of almost losing a precious item, which can be regarded as a recovery.

It was so easy to say, but she clearly felt his blessing and hoped that she would live well.

"Lost and regained" is not a very beautiful word. If it is not necessary to experience it, many people don't want to experience the pain of "losing". For her, she dared not even think about it.But how could she know that at some point in the future, she would really experience the pain of loss.At that time, she had no other choice but prayed every day and night for the word to come again.Praying, my heart is about to tear...

On Friday night, she went to the radio station to be the host as usual. Cen just got off the international flight today and took a taxi instead.

The driver was a very enthusiastic middle-aged uncle. He glanced back at him, and then looked at his uniform. There were four stripes on his shoulders. The uncle boasted that he had a high level of education, and asked with a smile, "Is it the captain?"

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help sighing: This industry is really popular now, and the places I live in are all luxury residential areas in the first-line of Beijing.Up and down the whole city, that circle is the place of top consumption.

Cen closed his eyes today and adjusted his comfortable posture.Hearing the uncle's speech, he kept silent and smiled slightly.

"I said young man, your salary this year must be seven figures?"

Seven figures, millions?Isn't that a capitalist... He shook his head, pursed his lips, and said softly, "No."

"Oh, I heard that the captain makes a lot of money, why don't you drive yourself?"

"Recently, I am trying to adjust the domestic flight route. There are many things to deal with, and I am a little tired after flying too many times." Treating others with malice is just really tired, and the eyes are dark.

The uncle nodded, seeing his hard work, and stopped quarreling with him.After a while, he suddenly said: "Today is Friday, you captains should listen to the international weather forecast. The girl on F010 has a really nice voice, and it only broadcasts once a week."

F010, almost everyone who drives a taxi at night can hear this sound.Very unique, very mild, a little soft, but reassuring.

"Yes, it is to make people feel that they should go home when they hear this voice." The uncle raised his voice and explained with joy the feeling this voice brought to them.

Very down-to-earth, it is the sound of returning home.Cen moved his head today, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and then he heard that familiar voice.

"On December [-], in Atlanta, USA, it was sunny. In Paris, France, it was moderate to heavy rain."

The city of Paris seems to be raining all year round, with very few sunny days.How on earth did she live there for several years?After thinking about it, Cen asked today: "Master, where is this radio station?"

The uncle grinned: "It's in the central building, not very far from where you live. It's almost here now, I guess I can wait until the little girl gets off work, do you want to go?" It was indeed an enthusiastic uncle.

Today, Cen propped his head up and looked out the window at the neon street lights, illuminating the entire city.Beijing today is sunny weather.After pondering for a long time, he said, "No, I'll go home, thank you."

The uncle sighed again, turned around and stopped talking.Cen today smiled, and closed his eyes to rest again.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening when Gu Zeng got off work. After walking along the road for a while, she felt a little dry, so she stopped by the convenience store to buy a bottle of water, and then walked to the bus stop.Unfortunately, the last bus also left.

She was a little discouraged, and sat on the chair thinking, if the director hadn't stopped her to talk to her when she came out just now, it wouldn't be so late, right?She is a little dull and has a slow temper, but she can still see that the director has a crush on her.However, the feeling is really another matter.It's like when she looks at the director, she will feel that he has good facial features, a slight dimple in his smile, and a good temperament all over his body, but he doesn't have the urge to get close.Then, she doesn't want to take this step anyway.

But the other person has a nice voice and looks not ordinary at all. When he looks at him, he always feels that he can see through him at a glance.What a nice, warm person.She wanted to get closer, but didn't dare.Looking at the neon lights in the dark night, she held her face and wanted to cry without tears.Don't think about Gu Xiaobai anymore, do you know how many people like him...

After sitting like this for a while, half an hour passed, and it was already 11:30.She finally got up helplessly and was about to hail a taxi, but the phone rang suddenly, so she sat down again and chatted with Xu Shen.

Xu Shen told her that he would pick her up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and go play with her.She almost forgot that she made an appointment for an event on Saturday, and she will be able to see Lu Zhao, Cute and the rest of Beijing's elite tomorrow.

"Well, okay, I'm going home right away."

"You haven't come home yet?" Xu Shen also glanced at the time on the computer, calculated, and thought of the certain director who had shown favor many times, he said helplessly, "Gu Xiaobai, you should be here in an hour." I got off work before, can people who don’t like it stop dragging their feet all the time?”

Actually not, the director really wanted her for something, and it was about renewing the contract.She switched hands to hold the phone, and had already walked to the side of the road to wait for a taxi, while Xu Shen was still educating her.The snow on the side of the road hadn't melted yet, and a car was galloping in the dark, splashing sewage all over her body.She hurriedly jumped to the side, but unfortunately she had already suffered.

Switching hands again, I answered another call for some reason.

"Gu Zeng, it's me." The voice paused and asked, "Are you on Qiushi Street?"

"Um, you, are you back?" In the silent night, she was in a panic, and for some reason, when she heard his voice at this time, she felt an urge to cry.

"Which platform are you there?"

"Gu Zeng, talk to me."

"I, I am, I am at the platform near Huajun."

There was an exhalation of relief after that.Cen put on his clothes today, took the key and went out, "Wait for me there, don't go away."

"I..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.After short-circuiting my brain for a long time, I realized that the phone hadn't been hung up, and I didn't know whether to hang up.Although he didn't speak anymore, she could hear the wind over there, and soon, soon... soon he appeared in front of her.

"Why haven't you come home so late?" He was a little out of breath, his hair was blown messy by the wind, he was dressed casually, and he looked like a student who had just graduated from college.He took a step closer, looked her up and down, took out a tissue from his pocket, bent down unexpectedly, and wiped her shoes.

"It's cold at night, don't wear sneakers in the future."

Why should it be so good?Lowering her head and suppressing the moisture in her eyes, she faltered and replied: "Why do you..."

"I live near here." He leaned slightly and patted the snow on her shoulder, his voice had a soft feeling, even his posture, "you can call me this late in the future."

He quickly hailed a taxi, held her hand naturally, and took her into the car.Some cold palms stick together.Her gaze followed him involuntarily, watching him get into the car, still holding it, putting his hands on his knees, which was a very safe posture.

"Are you going to take me home?" She felt very embarrassed, "It's actually okay, I can go home by myself."

"Little girl, your boyfriend is afraid that it's not safe for you to go home alone." The aunt who drove the taxi couldn't help joking. Looking at the couple in the rearview mirror, it felt very heartwarming.

"No, he..." Isn't he her boyfriend?It seemed that the explanation was very pale, and she was suspected of sophistry. She half-spoken and looked at him cautiously.

"I just came back today, and the car was left at the airport. I'll take you back later, and I'll take a taxi back."

He must be very tired if he didn't drive home by himself... It's all Xu Shen's fault, and she feels guilty for telling him everything.

"It's okay, Lu Zhao is still at my house at this time. I often fly at night, so I won't feel sleepy." As if he had seen through her mind, he reached out and touched her head, then turned to look at her.

Her cheeks were burning hot, and she asked guiltily, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why don't you come home so late?"

"overtime today."

"What does the radio station do overtime? Don't you only broadcast the weather forecast once a week?"

Gu Xiaobai's eyes widened: "Did Xu Shen say it again?"

He couldn't help laughing, let go of her hand, held it again in another position, and said slowly: "In the future, I will try my best to take off work on Friday, and I will pick you up after get off work."
