Chapter 3: The Journey Home
Encore booked a ticket at six o'clock in the morning, and she didn't close her eyes that night, because when she closed her eyes, she would start to think crankily, and when she thought that she was about to face a long flight for more than ten hours, an unspeakable sense of powerlessness filled her heart and made her very afraid.
She was a child who grew up in a single-parent family, and her father cheated on her when she was very young, abandoning her and her mother for a nightclub woman. So in her world, there is no concept of the so-called father for a long time, for so many years it has been her mother who has pulled her alone, in the impression that her mother has almost no rest except for the New Year, she has always worked many jobs at the same time, earning money for her to go to school and live, from childhood to adulthood, her mother is her only support in this world, she dare not think about what to do with only herself one day in the future.
After completing all the procedures before boarding at the airport, Encore sat in the waiting hall, looking at the mobile phone screen in a daze, knowing that it was useless, but she was like a neurotic, making more than a dozen calls to her mother's mobile phone in a row, listening to the beeping sound over there, and feeling the torment and pain in her heart like masochism in the unknown waiting.
Someone sat next to her, and she habitually moved to the other side, a defensive gesture that countless insecure days had created in the past.
Finally, the airport radio sounded, Encore stood up and followed the crowd to the boarding gate in a daze, suddenly being pulled by someone, she was caught off guard and screamed, and the people who were close around cast curious glances at her, and waved a pair of hands in front of her, she was called back to her soul, trying to focus her eyes, and saw clearly that standing in front of her was a young man in a suit, with a black ring tattoo on the ring finger of his right hand, and what he was holding in his hand was ...... Her registration card!
Encore realized that he had just done something stupid, his face suddenly burned into cooked shrimp, he took his boarding pass and thanked him, bent down 90 degrees again, bowed a standard bow to the man in the suit, and scared the person back three steps, Encore raised his head and found that there were several more pairs of eyes around him than just now, like a bunch of green eyes on TV that can scare to death dense phobia, and suddenly felt very creepy, she quickly pulled up her small suitcase, and plunged into the boarding gate without looking back, leaving a confused melon-eating crowd.
The seat was chosen close to the window, Encore lowered her head to fasten her seat belt, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a pair of black leather shoes parked next to her, she moved in, but heard the man say, "What a coincidence"
She raised her head when she heard the sound, and just about to say "Who are you" was about to exit, she saw the ring tattoo on the man's hand, and then she suddenly realized, and then thought of her behavior just now, and laughed a little crampedly, thinking about how to buy a lottery ticket and never happened to meet the jackpot?
After taking off, Encore's ears began to hurt, she opened her mouth and breathed hard a few times before it was relieved, but her ears were just right, and her head began to dizzy again, it should be because she didn't eat breakfast, but when she thought of breakfast on the plane, she felt nauseous and sick to her stomach, and she had never been so uncomfortable on a plane for the first time, especially this time she had to fly for a long time, and she felt even more uncomfortable when she felt pressure.
At this time, a piece of Yida chewing gum was handed in front of him.
"If you get motion sickness, chewing a tablet will be much better. The voice of the man in the suit was a little trembling through the noise of the plane.
Encore is indeed too uncomfortable, and now I don't have the strength to be polite, I said thank you, took it and peeled it off and stuffed it into my mouth, but, why is it strawberry-flavored?
Another headset appeared in front of me,
"Listen to some music, or it'll be boring. ”
An Ke couldn't help but look back at him, the man in the suit had a sven face, and a very refined smile on his face, although he was not very handsome, but it was quite attractive, and it was a face that would make people feel comfortable.
Encore smiled at him out of politeness, took the headphones, and put pure music in them, which was very soothing and relaxed, which could indeed relieve dizziness a little.
"Is the gentleman's surname Wang?"
The man in the suit smiled slightly, "Wang Zhenghao"
Encore suddenly heard this person say his name so directly, and felt that he was either too sincere or lacking in heart, so she had to grin and put on a smile, "My name is Encore"
After the plane arrived at Frankfork Airport, Encore waited for the transfer, she first called the central hospital to ask about her mother's situation, heard that her mother was fine, the nerves that had been tense were relaxed, her nose was sour and she wanted to cry, she blinked her eyes vigorously, and then the discomfort of her stomach slowly stimulated her brain.
I just wanted to go to a random place to have breakfast, and the WeChat prompt sounded, and I clicked on it to see a photo of curly hair, a plate of panini and a cup of Italian latte,
[Barrel: Up the hall and down to the kitchen, (proud face)]
[Ankle: Did you hurt your self-esteem by my comment yesterday?]
[Barrel: No, just showing off + poisoning = provoking your stomach to rebel (bad laugh)]
[Ankle: You wait for me!]
An Ke glanced around, was about to enter a coffee shop, suddenly heard someone behind her calling her name, and when she turned around, she saw Wang Zhenghao, I don't know if I am not dizzy at this time, looking at Wang Zhenghao at this time I feel different from the plane, Si Swenwen's dress is full of bookishness, it looks like I have read a lot of books, I won't be a nerd.
"Miss Ann wants to have breakfast, do you mind going to be together?"
Encore smiled quietly: "Okay, Mr. Wang just took care of me so much on the plane, I should have invited you to breakfast thank you"
Wang Zhenghao: "What's so embarrassing?"
At Encore's insistence, the two of them found a table to sit down together, and Encore ordered croissant bread and fried eggs, accompanied by a glass of freshly squeezed juice. After the waiter arrived, she took several photos with her mobile phone at all angles, and sent the barrel after finishing the drawings.
Wang Zhenghao asked curiously: "Is Miss An chatting with her boyfriend?" ”
Encore: "What?" and then reacted, thinking that his actions were a bit silly, and smiled, "I'm showing off my breakfast with a psychopath." ”
Wang Zhenghao smiled, took a bite of bread and didn't speak.
[Barrel: The young lady is having breakfast with a man (jealous face)]
Encore sucks the juice for a meal
[Ankle: How do you know?]
[Barrel: Because no girl has the courage to drink hot chocolate in the morning (sharp face)]
[Encore: See you in debt!]
She couldn't help it after sending the message, glanced at Wang Zhenghao's cup, and then came to a conclusion: the structure of myopic eyes is different from ordinary people.
Wang Zhenghao saw An Ke looking at his cup, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong with my cup?"
Encore said: "It's nothing, is Mr. Wang here to travel to Italy?"
"I'm accompanying a friend to see a doctor, what about Miss An?"
"I'm here on a business trip. “
After breakfast, the two didn't go together, Anke felt that although Wang Zhenghao was very enthusiastic, but it was really not a chat material, just after a short time in the coffee shop, the two of them were silent for most of the time, which really made Anke very embarrassed, but the other party didn't understand her inner monologue, and she had been drinking hot chocolate calmly in the face of the cold field, so Encore realized a truth: if you want not to be embarrassed, you have to kick the embarrassment to the other party, even if Mount Tai collapses in front, you must not change your face.
On the flight back to Frankfurt, Encore sat next to a bald middle-aged uncle, the uncle was obviously taking a plane for the first time, looking at this with novelty, touching that, as soon as there was something new, he turned around excitedly and told Encore, Encore smiled on the surface, and MMP in his heart.
When the uncle finally stopped exploring the new world, Encore breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that after the uncle returned to normal mode, a new feature was turned on - snoring, and the noisy Encore was about to explode on the spot.
Waiting for the end of the flight of more than ten hours this time, Encore got off the plane with two black circles under his eyes and a sad face, and took a taxi directly to the central hospital, sitting in the car and just turning on the mobile phone, he saw the missed call from the radar and a series of WeChat messages, the message did not need to look at it to know that it was curly hair, before adding curly hair, her WeChat unread messages for ten days and half a month added up to less than one day now, she estimated that the radar should be on the plane now, so she clicked on WeChat.
[Barrel: Did the young lady release my pigeons? Why did the phone turn off (sad face)]
[Barrel: I see the big brother, where is the little sister?" (puzzled face)]
[Barrel: Did you get off the plane?Auntie is okay?(worried face)]
Only then did Encore remember that he had made an appointment with a wooden barrel to eat before, and now he was like a boss who owed money to his employees and ran away, and his intestines were all remorseful when he landed, and he almost wanted to strangle himself and make amends quickly.
[Ankle: My mom is fine, I didn't mean to release your pigeon, I'm sorry, I forgot about it in a hurry]
They got back shortly after
[Barrel: I went to dinner with my eldest brother, it was an unforgettable experience (laughing and crying)]
Encore didn't expect the two of them to go to dinner together, and was deeply surprised by Radar's IQ online this time, so that he didn't have a sense of guilt for breaking his promise.
[Ankle: Why is it unforgettable?]
[Barrel: emmmm When he saw the waitress, he stammered and couldn't speak, and then the waiter looked at me and smiled...... I think I brought a stupid son out to dinner (tangled face)]
An Ke laughed all the way, until the car drove to the central hospital, she paid and went straight to her mother's ward, An's mother was wiping her tears in the bitter drama broadcast on the bedside TV, and there was a drip on one arm, at first glance, when she saw her daughter appear at the door, she was startled, and she forgot to wipe the tears on her face.
"Didn't you go to Italy? Why did you come back today?"
"Besides, if the police hadn't informed me, would you have to hide it from me again?" Encore put down his things, walked to the bedside, and saw that his mother's face was okay, which was completely relieved.
"I just thought that you were coming back soon, so I wanted to go over and help you clean up the house, who knew that the bus driver was drunk and drove and hit a tree all of a sudden, and I had to tie my arm for a few days, nothing else. “
Encore rolled his eyes, "Who said that? Your concussion is not a problem? The doctor said that you need to have a good rest, and I will come over to accompany you to "see you" when I have time these days.
