Not long after Xin Gan got home, her mother pushed open her door and walked in, asking, "When will Cheng Jiu return to Beiyu?"
Xin Gan had just finished taking a bath when her hand, which was wiping her hair, paused. "Let's do it tonight."
"Aren't you going to deliver it?"
"No way."
He has already told you the flight time. You should go and see him off.
Xin Gan raised her eyes and looked at the mirror uneasily, saying, "He didn't ask me to give it away."
Didn't he say you wouldn't go? Xin Xin, if you go, he will be very happy. Mother Xin patted Xin Gan on the shoulder and sighed, "Don't be too cold. It will affect the relationship between the two of you."
She and Cheng Jiu have no feelings for each other yet. How could there be any influence?
But she couldn't talk back. She could only obediently listen to Mother Xin's words.
Mother Xin took out a rather ladylike dress from the wardrobe and gesturing on her, praising, "My daughter looks good in anything, especially this one."
Xin Gan was silent for a while: "Mom, isn't it too grand?"
"No matter how grand it is, you must leave a good impression on him. You can't be careless. You should be sensible and polite. You are the eldest daughter of the Xin family, the apple of your parents' eyes. We only have you as our daughter. You must take good care of yourself before we can rest easy." "
Xin Gan said, "If you say so and make a bad impression on him, does it not count?"
"Nonsense! You're so excellent. Boys who like you keep coming one after another. Have you forgotten? Some even chase after you all the way home." "
That was when she was in junior high school. There was a male classmate who really liked her. After school, he would chase after her home and cause quite a few jokes. Later on, this became a joke for her at home.
Xin Gan felt a bit embarrassed and quickly agreed to go to the airport to see Cheng Jiu off that night, just asking her not to bring up this matter again.
Mother Xin felt extremely relieved and instructed her to dress up for the evening. Don't go to see her without dressing up.
Xin Gan thought that when she came back during the day without makeup or dressing up, she looked a bit untidy. That's why she deliberately mentioned this now.
Seeing that it was about time, she packed up and was about to leave.
Cheng Jiu had a meal at home at this moment. Lady Cheng was a bit sad and almost shed tears. Cheng Jiu comforted her a few words, saying, "I'll be back on leave at the end of the year. Mom, don't cry. I'm not not coming back."
Mrs. Cheng said, "Then it will take another half a year to see you, son. You've only been back for less than a day, and Mom hasn't even taken a good look at you."
Cheng Jiu didn't care much. Cheng Hui was still squeezing tears by the side and said in a crying tone, "Brother, I will miss you."
Cheng's father also called back. After chatting for a while, he got busy.
Cheng Jiu glanced at Cheng Hui, not convinced, and said, "Focus on your studies. Don't do all that nonsense. Also, don't stay overnight at other people's homes."
Cheng Hui muttered, "What about Sister Xin Xin? Didn't she be with you last night and scold me?"
Cheng Jiu rudely tugged at her ear and said, "She's different from you. Don't change the topic."
"I didn't change the subject. You're double standard. You can kidnap Sister Xin Xin. Why can't I be abducted?" "
Cheng Jiu: "You're quite proud. You still want to be abducted?"
"Hey, hey, don't talk back. If your brother gets really angry and cuts off your pocket money later, I'll see who you cry to." Mrs. Cheng glared at Cheng Hui, gesturing for her to behave herself.
Cheng Hui bowed his head for his pocket money. "I was wrong. I won't say anything more. I will surely listen obediently."
It was almost time. Cheng Jiu was also about to set off for the airport. The driver at home drove him there. Cheng Hui also insisted on going. Cheng's wife originally wanted to go to the airport to see him off, but Cheng Jiu tried to stop her. She was afraid that she would cry again when she got to the airport.
Cheng Hui is causing trouble. If he doesn't let her go, she will stick to him and won't let him go.
On the way to the airport, Cheng Jiu kept looking at his phone, as if waiting for someone's message.
Cheng Hui understood in his heart and exposed it without mercy: "Brother, are you waiting for Sister Xin Xin's call?" What? Sister Xin Xin isn't coming to see you off?
Cheng Jiu ignored her, turned off his phone, rested his hands behind his head and closed his eyes to rest.
He only slept for a few hours last night. His mind was restless and he couldn't sleep soundly. As soon as he closed his eyes, all he could see was her figure, which wouldn't go away.
Cheng Hui leaned close to his ear with a smile and said, "Brother, I see you're not satisfied with your desires. It's all over your face. Just tell me the truth. Are you having a quarrel with Sister Xin Xin?" So Sister Xin Xin didn't come to see you off either.
Cheng Jiu freed one hand and pinched her cheek. Her face was curled up, her lips pouting, full of comical charm.
"Kagawa has been too indulgent of you, hasn't he? You've talked so much, but why are you doing so poorly in your studies? Where have you spent all your intelligence?"
Cheng Hui struggled hard at his hand, pleading unclearly, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't say it anymore, I won't ask. Stop pinching me, brother!"
Cheng Jiu avoided the topic. Cheng Hui was even more convinced that he was having a quarrel with his future young wife. When Cheng Jiu let go, she rubbed her aching cheek and said, "You're just too fierce. Sister Xin Xin doesn't like you at all. Can't you be more gentle?"
Seeing Cheng Jiu's eyes narrow, Cheng Hui immediately shut up and moved aside to create a distance from him.
Cheng Jiu looked down at the phone screen again. This time it wasn't unlocked and the screen was black, which meant no one was looking for him.
When Xin Gan arrived at the airport, the sun had just set and the sky was a pale orange, which was very beautiful. The weather was also nice.
Cheng Jiu once said that a typhoon would come in a few days, and then the weather wouldn't be so good.
Xin Gan drove to the airport by herself. She has a domestic driver's license. She took the exam when she returned to Yongcheng during the summer vacation at the age of eighteen. It took her two months to get it, which is quite impressive.
This will be the peak season. There will be many tourist flights and the airport will be crowded with people.
Xin Gan thought for a while and still dialed Cheng Jiu's number. She was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to make it in time. However, the second ring of the phone rang and Cheng Jiu answered.
It's very noisy over there. Maybe she's outside.
He didn't think much of it and asked softly, "What's up?"
His two words were so cold that Xin Gan immediately felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and her mood dropped as she said, "It's a bit of a deal. Did you get on the plane?"
No. Just arrived at the airport.
"I'm also at the airport. I just want to see you off." "
Cheng Jiu's tone changed and he said, "Which entrance are you at?" Stand still there. I'll go and find you.
Xin Gan said, "At the entrance of T1."
Cheng Jiu said indifferently, "Yes, I'll be there in five minutes."
"Ok."
It was still very hot at this moment. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her palm, which was the result of her constantly clenching it due to nervousness. She had never been this nervous before and had no idea which direction Cheng would come from when she looked over there.
Cheng Jiu's entrance was not far from T1. He walked fast, followed by Cheng Hui. Cheng Hui had just overheard the phone call and knew that he was going to look for Xin Gan. He had thought Xin Gan wouldn't come to see him off, but instead he did. Seeing Cheng Jiu's anxious and angry look, Cheng Hui covered his mouth and chuckled secretly.
When he saw the bittersweet waiting by the roadside, his eyes became passionate, clearly filled with anticipation and joy.
As he got closer and closer to her, Cheng Jiu's pace slowed down immediately, making himself look more composed and not like a young lad who had never seen the market before, thus spoiling her image.
Cheng Hui felt that he wanted to give the two of them some space, so he didn't follow them. Instead, he stood from afar and secretly watched, not forgetting to take pictures with his mobile phone.
Xin Gan noticed someone approaching, turned around and met Cheng Jiu's eyes. She saw that his eyes were dark and bright, staring at her without blinking.
She was not very enthusiastic and her tone was rather indifferent. First, she found a topic and asked, "What time is your flight?"
Nine o 'clock.
Xin Gan nodded and said, "Then I wish you all the best."
There were quite a few people coming and going around, some in a hurry and some strolling leisurely. But without exception, they would all turn their heads to take a look at the two of them.
The scenes of handsome men and beautiful women always attract people's attention.
The man was tall. Standing there, she looked petite and pitiful, creating a pleasing sight.
Some people passed by and made a few remarks, nothing more than some words of praise, and also made guesses about their relationship.
But all of this had nothing to do with them. It was Cheng Jiu who took a few steps first, moved closer to her again, then bent down, lowered his head, and gently held her in his arms.
Xin Gan was somewhat at a loss and her breathing became rapid. She was forced to raise her head and rest her hands on his chest, because her raising her head was more in line with this embrace.
In the palm of his hand was his resounding heartbeat and body temperature.
She felt it was burning hot, and her ears were burning too, burning right into her heart.
Cheng Hui, who was secretly taking pictures on the side, was so astonished that his mouth opened wide. He let out a "wow" sound and kept moving his hands without stopping, then continued to take pictures secretly.
She never expected, never expected, that her own brother had such an unknown side that she stumbled upon. After returning home, she was determined to exaggerate and publicize this matter to make a fortune.
Xin Gan came to his senses, gave a push and shouted, "Cheng Jiu..."
"Good boy! I told you to stand where you are and wait for me to come and find you. Just stand where you are and wait for me." "
Xin Gan paused for a moment, tilted his head slightly and said, "Wasn't that what you said?"
Hardly had she finished speaking when she realized that what he had said was not a question but a teasing half-jokingly.
But he still didn't let go. He still held her in his arms, his arms crossed behind her waist, and held her with all his strength.
He said, "Last time you went back to Yongcheng, I didn't see you off. Did you hold a grudge?"
She was still in his arms. How could she say she held a grudge? Although she did remember it a little bit.
Why do you say this?
"Well, I just thought of it and said so."
Xin Gan noticed that the two of them were standing here hugging each other, attracting too much attention. She felt embarrassed and quickly pushed him away, saying, "Let go first. It's hot."
Cheng Jiu didn't let go. Instead, he leaned in her ear and said, "I'm hot too. I'm extremely hot."
Xin Gan's heart was pounding. In a hurry, she tried to break his arm, but it wasn't that easy. His arm was as hard as a rock, full of strength, and it bound her waist. Without a word, he hugged her tightly.
"Don't move. Hold for a while longer."
