Gu Yixiao's face was full of seawater, and he smiled so much that he showed his snow-white teeth.

"Okay, let's get over. As he spoke, he pushed me towards the most crowded place.

Actually, I don't need such extra care from him now, but when I told him, he didn't listen to him, and I insisted on doing so, so I had to listen to him.

It didn't feel good to be soaked in the water and wait for rescue, but with Gu Yixiao beside me, who had been smirking, I felt that time passed much faster.

For the rest of their lives, everyone had horror written on their faces and worries in their hearts.

In such a vast sea, there are always other dangers, such as sharks. Therefore, everyone is unhappy, and the only difference from everyone else is me and Gu Yixiao.

We didn't say anything, and when I looked at him, he looked at me, and he couldn't help laughing.

Four hours later, a passenger ship from a nearby sea was dispatched, and we were rescued on deck. Gu Yixiao held my hand all the time during the rescue process and didn't let go for a moment.

After arriving on the deck, he leaned over and kissed me on the face and said, "Tao Ran, at this time, I suddenly thought of the Titanic, that movie was too tragic, and in the end, only one of the people I loved was saved." And we were lucky, two people were saved. Actually, if I had to choose between me and you, I would still choose you, even if I died once. ”

"Confessing at this time is a little numb. I smiled at him, "But, I like it." ”

Gu Yixiao's eyes turned out other things at once, as if they were in a pool of water.

The boat was moving on the calm sea, and the staff distributed food and clothing to us, and because the boat was already full, most of the rescued people, except for the elderly, children, sick and pregnant, stayed on deck. Gu Yixiao saw my coldness, and without hesitation, he draped the thin blanket on his body on me, and then said resolutely: "Don't catch a cold." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he let out a loud sneeze. I smiled, ripped his blanket off his body, put it back on him, and said, "I'll be fine, just drink something hot later." ”

It was already getting dark, and the wind was blowing on the sea.

At this time, the rescued people had been arranged to line up and use the ship's health phone to report their safety to their families. When we got off the plane, we basically didn't have any luggage, and we were lucky to be able to evacuate all of them completely.

I used to have my phone in my pocket, but when I got to the sea, it was all gone.

I looked at the person who was crying bitterly when I found the phone, and my nose was very uncomfortable. For the rest of their lives, few people were in a happy mood.

"You fight first, and report the safety of your parents. Gu Yi said with a smile.

"Don't rush, just wait. I have you by my side, and many of them are alone, so I need to tell my family about the situation as soon as possible. I said.

Gu Yixiao and I came to the end.

I hesitated for a moment and called Luo Xiaotian. He answered almost as soon as the phone rang, and his voice was nervous trying to ask, "Tao Ran?"

When I heard him call my name in such a tone, tears flowed down my eyes after holding back for a long time.

"It's me, I'm fine. I choked up.

"That's good, that's good, that's good. He said three words in a row, and his tone finally relaxed, "They are all worried about you, Duan Jingchen has already rushed to the sea area with a rescue team that he can mobilize." It is estimated that there will be an hour left. ”

"I'm not on the phone, you talk to him, I'm fine. I paused for a moment before adding, "Also, thank him for me." ”

"Well, I'll definitely inform him. Luo Xiaotian said, "As soon as the news of the plane crash came out, all the people you know asked me if you came back from the plane." I checked the passenger list on the plane and found out that you were actually on this plane. ”

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "In the future, I will make a request to you, where you are going and what flight you are taking, let me know." Otherwise, you will really have high blood pressure. Perhaps, one day I was careful and passed the cerebral infarction. ”

"I know. I said.

After three seconds of silence, I whispered again, "Thank you, Dad." ”

"What do you call me?" Luo Xiaotian on the phone suddenly became excited.

"It's nothing, I have to hang up, everyone only has three minutes to talk, Gu Yixiao is behind me, and he also has to report his safety to his family. I said.

Luo Xiaotian sighed and said: "I know that he is also on the plane, whether that kid is so lucky that he is bursting or his luck is declining, why is it that once you meet him, it will be no good thing." ”

"Okay, we'll talk about it when we have something to say. Be ye good. I said goodbye softly.

Just now, when I called Luo Xiaotian my father on the phone, I thought I would be embarrassed, my voice would tremble, and I would be a little embarrassed. However, neither.

It turns out that you don't have to worry about many things, you don't need to ask, after the water is completed, everything will come out naturally.

The moment I answered the phone, his tone made me feel that I was loved by him.

I could even feel that they were worried about me all the time, and even though I was in my thirties, I was still a child in their eyes.

It's a feeling that's very precious to me. So, that title came out involuntarily.

Gu Yixiao was calling home, and his tone was very brisk.

"Mom, I'm fine, when we get to the port recently, we'll transfer planes back immediately...... Oh, we, we're me and Tao Ran...... Yes, let's meet here for a meeting...... I'll just say we've always been very close...... Okay, thank you mom then. Gu Yixiao finished speaking, hung up the phone, and then walked in front of me.

"Tao Ran, there is one thing I did without consulting you. He said.

"What's the matter?" I asked, but I guessed a thing or two from his expression, and if I guessed correctly, he said that it must be me and him.

Sure enough, he smiled and said, "After so many times of life and death, I feel that no matter what I want to do, I have to live in the moment, so I told my mother that as soon as we go back, I will be ready to marry you." They raised their hands in approval. ”

"Isn't it a little too fast. I said.

Actually, my heart is still sweet.

In any case, if a man exchanges his commitment for marriage, puts it in front of you, and chooses it, sincerity is still sufficient.

"Say something that insurance company salesmen often say. Gu Yixiao hugged me hard, pressed my head to his chest, and said in a somewhat muffled voice: "You never know, accidents and tomorrow will come first." So, I'm not going to wait for tomorrow, and I don't wait for the accident, just be with you. ”

The corners of my mouth turned up visibly with a smile that I couldn't stop, and the joy that I couldn't stop emanating from the bottom of my heart.

"You don't agree?" he was a little anxious when he saw that I didn't speak.

"It's not that I disagree. I paused, "but when I get back, I have other things to attend to." For example, Duan Jingchen, I want to make it clear first. ”

Gu Yi shook his head helplessly: "Don't mind too much about other people's opinions, just me, just you, you are willing." I'll take care of the rest. ”

Gu Yixiao has really matured a lot, and his way of doing things, speaking tone, etc. are very different from before.

As I was talking, I suddenly heard the roar of a helicopter in the sky, and I looked up at the sky. I saw a total of five helicopters hovering above the ship, and the large searchlights on the helicopters were on, illuminating the deck as bright as day, and I could see the two big words of rescue written on the helicopter fuselage through the light.

Just as I was looking up at the sky, a soft ladder hung down from the helicopter, and one person climbed down with agility.

He was dressed in camouflage, wore a helmet and carried a large bag. When he came down, he ran at me like an arrow.

I was a little stunned, until I was hugged into his arms, I recognized that this was Duan Jingchen.

He was almost half an hour earlier than Luo Xiaotian said.

At this time, Gu Yixiao, who was standing beside me, also recognized that this was Duan Jingchen, he hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "We're all fine, thank you for coming so quickly." ”

If it was before, Gu Yixiao would have gone up and pushed me away when he saw other men hugging me like this.

I quietly hugged him hard.

Seeing the Chinese rescue team appear at such a time, I can't put it into words. I know that no matter what, Duan Jingchen is concerned about me now.

"I contacted Luo Xiaotian and asked him to tell you that I was out of danger. He didn't call you?" I asked.

"It's fine if you're okay. Duan Jingchen glanced at Gu Yi and let go of me, "He called me, but I was almost there, and I wanted to see you before I was relieved." ”

While he was talking, another member of the rescue team came down. They were holding a list of passengers given by the National Aviation Regulatory Authority, and they were counting the number of passengers.

With the participation of a professional rescue team, all the work is on track immediately. After counting the number of people rescued, and when they learned that there were still 13 missing, they immediately arranged for two helicopters to fly towards the incident site. The rest are doing pacification work, contacting the next traffic work.

Soon, they got in touch with the nearest airport and arranged a special direct flight for us to Beijing. While doing these tasks, Duan Jingchen has been busy, occasionally glancing at me.

Gu Yixiao helped me stand in the corner, holding my hand tightly through a blanket.

I thought his little gesture was a bit like swearing sovereignty, and smiled at him: "You don't have to be like this, the hair on your body is going to stand on end." He was from the rescue team, and he saved me just by the way. Moreover, now that I'm divorced from him, don't be so nervous, okay?"

"How can you not be nervous, he doesn't look at you right. Gu Yi said with a smile.

I suddenly thought of the intimate action between him and the woman named Liu Wan, and my mood was a little low: "He has looked at me like this for more than ten years, and now even if he has no feelings, he probably can't change it." If you don't mind this kind of thing, you'll have to mind more in the future. Si Jianlian is Doubao's father, so it's impossible for me to cut off contact. Duan Jingchen's company has me using funds to buy shares, and I can't cut off contact. And He Xiao, even if I have nothing to do with him, in Qiao Ji'an's eyes, it is not very clear. ”

After I finished speaking, I looked at Gu Yi and smiled: "If you have to mind, it won't be long before you will be angry to death." ”

He smiled, "Okay, count me on for a while." However, in the future, you can find someone to do the business of these two companies. ”

I nodded.

In this atmosphere, I don't want to dwell on such trivial issues with him anymore.

Gu Yixiao and I returned to Beijing earlier than Duan Jingchen, and after we landed in Beijing, we saw that it was written in the news that the rescue team had found the remains of the missing people, three of whom had sunk to the bottom of the sea with the fuselage, and the rescue team members were injured.

When I saw this news, I immediately thought of Duan Jingchen, and almost subconsciously dialed the phone.

He answered at the first time: "Hello, Tao Ran." ”

"I read the news that rescuers were injured, so I called and asked, is the injury serious?" I asked.

Actually, I wanted to ask if the injured person was him, but the words changed again.

Duan Jingchen said very normally: "It's not a big deal, the leg of the diving person is stuck, the leg bone is a little cracked, and now it has been sent to the hospital, it's okay, don't worry." ”

"Oh, then you stay safe. I hung up the phone.

Gu Yixiao saw me calling Duan Jingchen, pointed to the big screen at the airport where the news was showing and said, "It's not him, you can't wait to finish the news and call over." ”

"Well, he saved me after all. I said.

"What about me?" Gu Yi asked half-jokingly.

I smiled: "You and I are not outsiders, so naturally there is no need to talk about these falsehoods." ”

"But I really like to hear about it. He said aggrievedly.

"Get out, there's everyone waiting. I glanced at the other people who had almost all walked out.

As soon as we walked out, we were surrounded by reporters. Of course, there are many family members of the rescued people, and everyone welcomes them with flowers. It felt like we were heroes returning from triumph.

When the rescued people and their families hugged their heads and cried, the reporters frantically took pictures.

I had expected this scene, and I told Luo Xiaotian that I would ask him to wait for me in the car outside with the child, and Gu Yixiao did the same.

It was because of what we said in advance that the two of us quickly broke out of the encirclement of reporters.

There were two commercial vehicles parked outside, one was white, and the driver was Luo Xiaotian. The other one is royal blue, and the driver is Gu Yixiao's father.

He stopped, gave me a hard hug and said, "See you tomorrow." ”

"Okay. I said.

We parted ways and got into the car.

When Doubao saw me get into the car, she got into my arms with red eyes, and Aunt Wang hurriedly closed the car door.

"Mom, I thought I'd never see you again. Doubao said.

He's in his third year of kindergarten and will be in elementary school next fall, so he's a big kid no matter how you look at it.

"How could it be? Mom told Grandpa as soon as she could call. I said.

Luo Xiaotian was driving, and when he heard Doubao's words, he turned back to him and said: "Ji people have their own natural appearance, and the more people suffer in this life, the more they will be able to manage God to return to their own happiness in the future." Your mom is still young, so it's okay to experience a little more. This shows that in the future, my mother's blessing will be very deep, and it will get better and better. ”

Doubao can basically understand the meaning of the adult's words now, and he nodded a little ignorantly and said, "Mom, I miss you so much." ”

When he said this, my heart softened and I hugged him for a good kiss.

When I got home, I saw that Aunt Wang had already made the dish into a semi-finished product, and said to me, "This is ready in the morning, and I will make it again when you come back, and it will be fine in a while." ”

Luo Xiaotian said: "I soaked you in mugwort leaf water in the bathtub upstairs, go to bad luck, take a bath first and then come down to eat." ”

Although he didn't say anything on the way back, his eyes remained red.

Seeing that my aunt and bean bag had walked away, he walked up to me, stared at me seriously for a while, and then reached out and took me into his arms.

This hug was decades late, so the hug took a bit longer.

In the end, when we let go of each other, Luo Xiaotian's face burst into tears.

"I'm old, obviously happy, shed tears. With that, he smiled and turned to go into the bathroom.

"Dad. I called him.

He was walking, and his body suddenly stopped: "Take a good wash and go to get rid of bad luck." ”

"Hmm. I said.

We all know what each other is doing, and we all know that each other's hearts are moved, but no one says anything. He paused and continued to the bathroom. And I was a little stunned, and went upstairs.

My eyes were full of tears, and I thought he was too.

The water temperature is just right, slightly hot, and the mugwort is fragrant. I soaked in the water and felt relaxed from my bones. Artemisia leaves have a unique fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine, which makes people feel very relieved after smelling it.

When I went downstairs after taking a shower, a hearty meal was ready.

Rarely, there is also wine on the table at my house.

Luo Xiaotian poured me a full glass, and at the same time poured juice on the bean bun, and said, "Let's have a toast for your mother to return safely." ”

I picked up my glass, clinked glasses with them without hesitation, and drank it all. The bean bag also drank the juice in the cup very proudly.

"Let's eat, I'm going to video your mom later. Luo Xiaotian said, "She was also anxious for a few days." ”

I nodded.

At this moment, the sun has set outside, the sky in the west is a magnificent rainbow, the room will be dark, the lights are on, and the warm lights are spread out in the room.

This is home, which is reassuring and grateful.

After we had dinner, Tian Qingqing and I reported our safety via video, and then sat around in the living room.

Doubao listened to us chatting, and after a while, his head became sleepy little by little. I carried the bean bag upstairs, lulled him to sleep, and came back down.

Sure enough, Luo Xiaotian was still waiting for me below.

"It's really not easy to go through such a big thing and get back to calm so quickly. As for me, I don't want to say anything to you, I will talk about it for a lifetime, whether it is long or short, just do whatever you want. Luo Xiaotian said.

I picked up the cup and poured him full of water, handed it to him and said, "Dad, are you talking about Gu Yixiao?" ”

He smiled, "Yes, I saw you two walking out holding hands." In fact, after experiencing life and death, there are no major events in life. ”

"What do you think if I'm with him?" I asked earnestly.

He laughed, "As long as you're happy, anything goes." Whatever you decide, I support you. ”

"In fact, when it comes to life and death, you will know who is most important in your heart. I was thinking of bean buns, you, my mother, and my adoptive parents. The rest of the people really didn't have time to think about it. I said.

"When you're my age, you'll know more clearly what you want. Forty is not confused, you are almost at the age of not being confused, and you can understand many things without others saying them. The more you know about the world, the more you understand how far you can go in this life, and after forty, you will feel powerless. Because you can't be anyone but you. Then, you will also find that you have worked hard all your life, and in the end you have become a very ordinary person. The difference with others is nothing more than a matter of more money and less money. Luo Xiaotian said seriously.

He said a lot, and I listened attentively.

This is the most time that our father and daughter have talked about since they met.

In the end, he finished everything he wanted to say, glanced at his watch and said to me, "It's not early, you haven't had a good rest these days, go to bed early." ”

"Well, you too. I said.

My whereabouts are unknown, and when I don't know whether I live or die, he must not have slept well.

"Okay, I know. He said.

I got up and was about to go upstairs, but he suddenly stopped me and said: "Tao Ran, I am going to retire in two or three years, and the company will be handed over to you to take care of, that child, I will set up a fund for him to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, as for the rest, I can't do anything about it." ”

I know he's talking about the child Sheng Qing Jin gave birth to.

Actually, now that I think about it, I feel that the child is also innocent, and it has fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

"Dad, you're still so young, it's a bit early to say this. I smiled, feeling a little inexplicable about his words.

"I've been one all these years, and my body has long since died, but I'm just carrying it. At this time, I feel like I'm not able to do things. Luo Xiaotian said with a smile, "People, many things must be planned in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it if there is an emergency." ”

"That was too early to be planned. I said.

He shook his head and turned to go upstairs.

I sat in the living room for a while, digesting his words, and was about to go upstairs when I suddenly heard the sound of a stone gently smashing against the glass, and out of curiosity, I opened the door.

Then I saw Gu Yixiao standing at the bottom of the steps looking at me.

"Why are you here again?" I asked.

"No, it's just the first time I've come to the door since I remembered the past. He stood there and looked at me, "When I was about to go to sleep, I suddenly thought of you, and then I missed you very much, and then I came." ”

"Come in and sit down for a while?" I asked.

He walked up two steps and said to me, "No need, I'll just look at you, see that you are fine, remember me, and have not recovered to ignore me, then it means that the experience of the past few days is not a dream." In this way, I am relieved. Go to bed early!"

After he finished speaking, he waved at me, walked to his car in a very chic manner, opened the door and smiled at me, and drove away.

I couldn't help but laugh as I stood on the steps.

Now the relationship between me and him makes me feel very relaxed. Suddenly, I missed you, so I ran to take a look regardless of the time and place, and then saw that you were good, I was relieved, happy, and left immediately in order not to affect your rest.

What he did made me feel very sweet, when I closed the door and locked the door, I accidentally saw my own shadow on the glass, and the smile on my face was from the heart, I couldn't hide it, I couldn't suppress it.
