Chapter Twenty-Five: To the North
Yu Pan'an was halfway through packing his luggage, and inadvertently turned over the desktop wall calendar pressed at the bottom of the box. It was a wall calendar from a time ago, and the date stayed in March, not turned back. Probably because no one would go to see the desktop wall calendar later, so it was forgotten by Yu Pan'an.
She saw the red circle on March 26, and suddenly remembered that she didn't say happy birthday to Ji Zhiheng on March 26 this year. Thinking of this, she remembered the necklace that Ji Zhiheng gave her on her birthday last October. Oh no, it's the necklace Aunt Daiwei gave her. She put away the necklace and never took it out and wore it.
After packing his luggage, Yu Pan'an got up and sent a message to Ji Zhiheng.
"I packed it up. ”
Ji Zhiheng quickly replied: "Come out, I'm already at your doorstep." ”
Yu Panan hurriedly dragged his luggage out of the door, and sure enough, he saw Ji Zhiheng's car parked at the door. He got out of the car to help her put her luggage and then returned to the driver's seat.
"Have you waited for me for a long time?" asked Yu Pan'an.
"No, just arrived. ”
Although he said this, it was difficult for Yu Panan to determine whether he was polite or really just arrived, but he didn't continue to speak.
It was the first time they had seen each other since the last time they had a drink together. Ji Zhiheng's previous troupe was disbanded for some internal reasons, and the theater completely became the same existence as other theaters - renting to various theaters to maintain income. He is now going to a new troupe in the north.
Yu Pan'an is going to live in the north for a while, because her next novel is set in a northern city. Without her job in the theater, she was freer and could go north to collect materials.
Yu Zaidao and Wei Ting breathed up, knowing that Ji Zhiheng and Yu Panan were going to the same city in the north, so they arranged for them to go together, and by the way, they also booked a place to live.
So, the two who had not been in contact again met again.
The way to the airport was a little congested, and Ji Zhiheng and Yu Panan were almost too late when they arrived. Fortunately, they were lucky enough to get on the plane in the end.
Time on the plane is always boring, Yu Pan'an first read a book for a while, and then became a little sleepy, rolled out his blindfold and prepared to take a nap. However, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Ji Zhiheng frowning, and his face was very bad.
"What's wrong?" she asked, "you're airsick?"
Ji Zhiheng seemed to be a little inaudible, but he still understood what she meant. He replied, "It's fine, it's just a little tinnitus." ”
Tinnitus when taking a plane is already Ji Zhiheng's old problem, but this time the tinnitus is a bit fierce, probably because he can't sleep because of work recently. He remembered that when he used to fly back and forth with Geng Yao at home and abroad, he said that his tinnitus, Geng Yao would still silently put on his earplugs and eye patches, and said to him: "I'll sleep first, you can sleep for a while, just fall asleep." ”
But he never fell asleep, no matter how long the flight was.
Yu Pan'an listened to his reply, immediately put down the blindfold he was about to wear, and took out a box of chewing gum from his backpack.
She said, "You chew one, I heard this seems useful when tinnitus." ”
Ji Zhiheng was a little surprised by her response. He took the gum box and poured out one and thanked her.
As if she hadn't heard, she said to herself, "Are you serious?" I think you're very uncomfortable, do you want me to call the flight attendant?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Ji Zhiheng hurriedly shook his head, "It's an old problem, it will be fine when you get off the plane." ”
“...... Since it's all old problems, why didn't you say it earlier, and you don't have to take a plane. Although she was counting Ji Zhiheng when she said this, there was not a lot of blame in her tone, and Ji Zhiheng didn't feel uncomfortable listening to it.
He chewed gum for a while, and felt that it seemed to be really much better, and when he turned his head to tell Yu Pan'an, he found that she fell asleep with her head tilted.
Perhaps for the convenience of going out, she didn't have her hair loose today, but tied a loose ponytail. As she tilted her head, the ponytail fell softly over her shoulders. She didn't wear a blindfold, probably not ready to sleep, but accidentally fell asleep.
The flight attendant happened to pass by at this time, Ji Zhiheng stopped her, and asked in a low voice, "Please give me a blanket." ”
The flight attendant looked at the sleeping Yu Pan'an, smiled understandingly, and quickly went to get a blanket.
Ji Zhiheng took the blanket and tried left and right, not knowing how to cover her - it was too heavy to throw it directly on her for fear of waking her up, so it felt a little intimate to cover her gently. Eventually, he called out to the flight attendant again.
"Can you please cover her?"
The flight attendant was confused by his inexplicable request, but immediately took the blanket and covered it for Yu Pan'an.
When the plane was about to land, Yu Pan'an woke up, she raised her hand in a daze, and accidentally touched the blanket on her body. Because she was not fully awake, she didn't think about "why do I have an extra blanket on me", but subconsciously bent down to pick it up. After she picked it up, Ji Zhiheng hurriedly said, "Now the service on the plane is really good, the flight attendant saw that you were asleep, so he took a blanket to cover you." ”
"Huh?" Yu Pan'an was still a little confused. She nodded, "That's very sweet indeed." ”
Ji Zhiheng let out an "um" and turned his head.
Yu Pan'an silently folded the blanket and returned it when the flight attendant came. Then she finally sobered up, remembered Ji Zhiheng's tinnitus, and asked, "Are your tinnitus better?"
"It's all right. ”
"Oh, that's good. She nodded, "If you're not feeling well, don't force it, you can wait until you get to the hospital first." ”
"No, no, no, it's really fine. Ji Zhiheng said, "When you get down, I'll help you carry your luggage first, and then go back to where I live." ”
Yu Pan'an knew that the place where she and Ji Zhiheng lived was not far away, so she didn't refuse, and said, "Okay, thank you." ”
After getting off the plane, the two got on a taxi outside the airport, but when they arrived at the destination, they heard the price and realized that it was an unmetered black car. Although they were angry, in the end, it was because they didn't say hello in advance, so they could only think that they were unlucky to pay.
Yu Zaidao's place for Yu Pan to settle down was a low building without an elevator, and it was on the top floor, and the two of them were already sweating after climbing the sixth floor with their luggage. Yu Panan was embarrassed to let Ji Zhiheng leave after finishing his luggage, but the house hadn't been packed up yet, so he couldn't ask him if he wanted to go in and sit - it was estimated that there was no place to sit. So, she thought twice and asked, "Do you want to go down and have some food before leaving?"
Ji Zhiheng nodded. "Good. ”
