Chapter Forty-Eight: A Reunion at Hand

Sui Qingliu put her hands under the sensor faucet, and the water at the right temperature sprayed out of the faucet and landed on her hand, and she carefully washed ten fingers, then the palm and the back of the hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After washing her hands, she looked up at herself in the mirror.

The woman in the mirror is still beautiful, and the light, just right makeup makes it difficult to tell her age accurately. She wore a long, simple, slim-fitting trench coat with a toffee-like color that made her skin very white, and an open neckline revealing a dark green silk scarf covered with galloping pony motifs.

"Smack", the bag strap on her shoulder slipped off, and the bag fell to the ground.

Sui Qingliu frowned, bent down to pick up the bag, then walked to the door of the bathroom and pulled two tissues from the tissue box on the wall. She wiped the water from her hands and carefully wiped her bag.

If she hadn't been in a hurry to go out to see her son, she would have washed the bag too. Thinking like this, Sui Qingliu unconsciously quickened his pace.

"Baby!" she whispered as she walked into the aisle between the men's and women's restrooms, facing the men's restroom.

A middle-aged man in a polo shirt happened to come out of the men's toilet and was startled by her. Sui Qingliu's face was a little red, and she pretended that nothing had happened. The middle-aged man looked at her a few times and walked away.

Sui Qingliu looked at her watch, her son had been in the toilet for more than three minutes, could it be that her son was constipated? She walked back and forth a few steps a little irritably, and then sat down in the row of seats closest to the bathroom.

The radio in the waiting hall of Changshui Airport was playing the boarding reminder, Sui Qingliu took out his mobile phone, pressed the power button to turn it on, and wanted to see the WeChat circle of friends. But for some reason, her phone didn't respond for half a day. She pressed the power button for a few moments, and the screen was still black.

Three and a half hours ago, when she boarded the plane in Shanghai, her mobile phone was still fine. She remembers that she deliberately filled the battery before going out, and she didn't expect it to be so undurable. Sui Qingliu bit her lower lip and remembered her husband who was still sleeping when she went out.

She looked at her mobile phone, a little annoyed, she knew that she should have asked her husband to send her and her son to the airport, instead of saying like a "good wife": "You have been working too hard for a while, you can't get up for the morning flight, take a good rest." ”

Sui Qingliu sighed.

She glanced at the huge LCD screen in the departure hall, scrolling through boarding times and corresponding gate information. At the top of the screen: January 5, 2015 11:12.

At this time, several more men came out of the men's bathroom, among them the long-haired man who had only entered after she had sat down, and now that he had come out, her son had not moved.

Sui Qingliu felt a little uneasy in her heart, she stood up, took a few steps towards the men's toilet, and stopped. There seemed to be quite a few people in the bathroom, and she had to resist the urge to walk in.

Sui Qingliu took a deep breath, "Yu Yichuan!" She shouted her son's name three times, but there was no response, she couldn't help but panic, and her voice also raised, "Yu Yichuan!"

She was about to raise her voice again when the radio went off again, and it was her flight's turn to board. Sui Qingliu was completely panicked at this time, her heart was crossed, and she was about to rush in, when a person gently patted her on the shoulder.

She turned her head to see a man of no age. There was a shallow forehead on his full forehead, as if it was a memento of the years, his thick eyebrows were next to a pair of light green eyes, the gaze was sharp and shimmering with an incomprehensible light, and in his casual glances, there was a weathered world and a mockery of a merciless fate, the bridge of his nose was unusually high and straight, with the characteristic curve of a Caucasian man, his pursed lips were bloodless, and the line of his chin was clear and hard. This face, carved like an axe and a chisel, makes people feel cold and arrogant.

The man had long, jet-black hair neatly tied into a ponytail. His well-trimmed bushy beard and piercing but meaningful eyes make his ponytail look less feminine. He was dressed simply, just a dark gray casual suit with a rust-blue shirt underneath, and only a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist showed his taste.

At this moment, he was looking at Sui Qingliu intently: "Madam, what can I do for you?"

His Chinese was so good that Sui Qingliu was surprised, and then the latter realized that this foreign man was the long-haired man who had just come out of the men's toilet. She hesitated: "My son is inside." ”

"What's his name?"

"Yu Yigradually. ”

"How old?"

"Twelve years old. ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

The foreign man walked in quickly, and after about a minute, he came out and shook his head at Sui Qingliu: "There are only cleaners inside." He looked at Sui Qingliu's eager eyes, and added, "I've seen all the single rooms." ”

Sui Qingliu only felt dizzy, and in the next second, she was supported by a foreign man.

"I take the liberty of asking, when are you going to board the plane?" the foreign man asked.

"It's now. Sui Qingliu glanced at Gate 41 and replied.

"Are you flying to Hancheng in transit?" the foreign man asked curiously.

"Hmm. Are you too?" Sui Qingliu's eyes widened.

"Yes. I suggest you board the plane first and then tell the crew and ask them to help broadcast the search for Linglang. ”

Sui Qingliu nodded gratefully, but still muttered in disbelief: "My son is very well-behaved, he usually doesn't run around." ”

The foreign man said soothingly: "After a while, you will be able to see him." ”

Sui Qingliu boarded the plane according to the foreign man's suggestion, and to her relief, the crew did not feel embarrassed by her request, but immediately contacted the airport ground staff to help broadcast and search.

However, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and seeing that the transit passengers had boarded the plane, Yu Yijian still did not appear.

Sui Qingliu was so anxious that she couldn't sit still, and she looked carefully at the passengers who didn't sit down, especially those with children, for fear that they would abduct her son.

But she got nothing.

Sui Qingliu anxiously ran to the boarding gate, her hair was already a little messy, "Excuse me, can you please broadcast a few more times, my son hasn't boarded the plane yet." ”

The flight attendant nodded and began to contact the ground again.

"Ma'am. The foreign man got up and walked over, and Sui Qingliu realized that he was a guest in the first class, "The radio has been looped many times, if Ling Lang was at the airport, then he shouldn't have heard it." ”

The words "If at the airport" frightened Sui Qingliu, and she asked in a panic, "Then what should I do?" Her mind suddenly flashed back to the tragedy of her brother many years ago.

She shuddered, and immediately pushed away the flight attendant standing at the gate without hesitation and rushed into the covered bridge.

"Yu Yichuan!" shouted Sui Qingliu as she ran in the waiting hall, rushed into the VIP lounge in the waiting hall, and opened the fitting room door of the duty-free men's clothing counter. She didn't know how long she had been running around the airport, but she just felt like she couldn't miss a single corner.

When she tried to break into the "smoking room", someone grabbed her arm from behind.

Sui Qingliu looked back and saw that it was the foreign man.

"If he's not at the airport, it's useless for you to run around like that. ”

Sui Qingliu squatted on the ground, covered his face, and cried. She didn't have time to think about whether she would lose face by doing so, and she had only one thought in her heart: her son was lost! She lost it! She would never see her son again!

Sui Qingliu cried so much that her makeup was spent, and her snot flowed down.

A dark blue handkerchief was stuffed into her hand, and Sui Qingliu was stunned. Then she sobered up a little, she wiped her tears and snot with a handkerchief, and slowly raised her head: "Thank you." ”

She had just cried, and her voice was still a little hoarse, which sounded even more pathetic.

"Ma'am, it occurred to me that something might help you. The foreign man took the handkerchief and put it away. "Could it be that Ling Lang was listening to a song or playing a game, wearing headphones, so he didn't hear the announcement?"

Sui Qingliu instinctively retorted: "His tablet is in my bag, and the phone is out of battery at the airport in Shanghai." ”

"But he can play with someone else's. The foreign man suddenly pointed into the distance.

A chubby boy was engrossed in front of a laptop, and next to him was a young man with a cap who was dozing.

Sui Qingliu rushed over like crazy, pounced on the fat boy, and almost knocked the other party off the chair.

"Baby!"

The fat boy took off his headphones and looked dazed, "What are you doing?" ”

Sui Qingliu's tears were about to gush out again, and she hurriedly restrained herself. "Boarding the plane, didn't you hear the radio? Mom was looking for you just now. ”

"I'm so old, will I lose it?" the fat boy looked disapproving, as if he wasn't only twelve.

Sui Qingliu looked at the laptop in his son's hand and asked, "Whose is this?" Yu Yi gradually put it down reluctantly, "It's the brother next to him, he said he was sleepy, and then I said I'll play for a while, right next to him, and he agreed." He pouted, "I would have killed them all five, if you hadn't come......"

He realized that Sui Qingliu was not very happy, so he changed his words and said, "Okay, I just don't play." ”

He poked the "peaked cap" on the side to wake up, "Yao, I won't play anymore, and the notebook will be returned to you." ”

Sui Qingliu hurriedly showed an apologetic expression at the "cap": "I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”

The "cap" didn't speak, just took the laptop and put it in his bag. He seemed very tired, and when he had done all this, he pulled down his hat again, put it over his face, and fell asleep.

The foreign man watched all this silently, and only then did he say, "Ma'am, I have to remind you of something. ”

Sui Qingliu was suddenly startled: "Oh no, the plane has taken off!"

The foreign man shrugged: "I thought you weren't leaving." ”

Sui Qingliu was very annoyed, she looked at the foreign man, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry! ”

The foreign man smiled slightly, his light green eyes like watery springs: "It's okay. I'm glad to be able to do something for the beautiful lady. ”

These words sounded very frivolous, but it was strange to say that he looked at the other party's eyes so sincerely and praised them seriously, which made Sui Qingliu feel very moved. At this moment, she really felt that in order to find her son, she had even burdened others, so she said a little shyly: "You have to sit on the next shift." ”

The foreign man said calmly: "Speaking of the next shift, I have a reluctant request. ”

Sui Qingliu was a little cramped, and the other party spoke too politely: "Say it." ”

"We have the same destination, so let's sit together on the next shift. He stared at Sui Qingliu, "The journey is lonely, and it's good to have someone to talk to." ”

Sui Qingliu was stunned for a moment, still hesitating, but Yu Yijian shouted: "Wow! Are you wearing contact lenses?"

Sui Qingliu was afraid that his son would say something inappropriate, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle is a foreigner, and his eyes are different from ours. ”

The foreign man laughed and whispered, "What a funny child." ”

Sui Qingliu has been in and out of various occasions with her husband over the years, and she has seen some of the world, but she has never seen such a character. Delicate but not pretentious, polite but not pretentious, praising people warmly and sincerely, but not making people feel uncomfortable.

She was suddenly a little annoyed that she was only trying to be light when she went out, and she didn't dress up carefully, she gently brushed her messy hair to the side without a trace, and then said reservedly: "I don't know if there will be more people in the next group." ”

The foreign man didn't seem to be worried about this, "Just agree." Then, he pulled out his phone and stepped aside. Soon, he walked back to Sui Qingliu's side, "It's done, we will be able to board the plane in two hours." When your luggage arrives at Hanseong Airport, it will be kept for you, so don't worry. ”

Sui Qingliu was surprised and delighted, and his voice was a little more enthusiastic: "You go to Hancheng, are you traveling?"

The foreign man said, "Sort of." He made a gesture and motioned for Sui Qingliu to follow him to the VIP lounge. To the latter's surprise, when he did not show any air tickets or documents, the staff in the VIP lounge not only did not stop him, but showed a courteous look.

The three of them sat down on the sofa, and the foreign man ordered some snacks and drinks for Sui Qingliu's mother and son.

Sui Qingliu saw that the foreign man took a tourist atlas from the newspaper shelf, and said enthusiastically: "Hancheng has opened up a lot of scenic spots in recent years. ”

The foreign man said, "Well, I didn't have any routes. I'm a very lazy person, sometimes I travel to a place, and when I get lazy, I stay in a hotel for a few days and then go home. ”

Sui Qingliu raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then she burst into laughter: "You are really joking, how can you travel like this?"

The foreign man asked, "It seems that you are very familiar with Hancheng?"

Sui Qingliu said: "I don't know each other very well, I have lived there for a few years." As she spoke, a dark cloud seemed to drift through her eyes, but she smiled casually.

The foreign man didn't ignore the change in her expression, but he didn't ask any more questions: "There seems to be a newly developed hot spring in Hancheng." ”

When Sui Qingliu heard this, he was surprised and delighted: "You also want to go to Lianhai Hot Spring?"

The foreign man said, "Not sure, I still have friends to meet." It's you, you can take Ling Lang to the hot spring for a dip, I heard that Lianhai is very good. ”

Sui Qingliu intended to invite her to travel with her, but then she thought about it, she was already married to a woman, which was quite inappropriate, thinking of this, she didn't say more, just nodded.

When the foreign man saw that she was tired, he thoughtfully lowered his head and looked at the tourist brochure so that she could rest. Oh, he raised his head again and handed Sui Qingliu a card: "If you want to go to Lianhai, it can be said that you are my friend." ”

Sui Qingliu took it, and it was a thin white metal card, slightly smaller than a normal business card, with a small line engraved in the center: Ernest-August.

She flipped to the back and saw a very small number: 008.

With no address and no phone number, it's hard to say it's a business card to deliver personal information. But whether it is the metallic texture of the card with a moving luster or the well-dressed appearance of this man, it is difficult to make people resist or doubt.

Sui Qingliu put away the card and said politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. August." ”

The foreign man smiled modestly and gently touched Yu Yiji's head. His gaze moved to the glass door, and the "cap" was no longer in his seat.
