219 Heron Night
Early Saturday morning, Ilan was woken up by Ryan's video.
She looked at the sky, and then it was bright, and she raised her hand to rub her swollen temples, feeling that her head was very dizzy. She didn't sleep well last night, tossing and turning all night, and it didn't take long to fall asleep.
Ilan replied with a text message: "Don't wake me up unless it's an emergency. ”
Ryan's video request came unrelentingly.
Ilan sighed, got up and rushed into the bathroom, washing up haphazardly, thanking her for the training she had received at the recruit training base, which lasted only a minute. She picked it up with an annoyed expression: "Ryan, what is your urgent business early in the morning?" ”
"Beauty, why do you have to stay in bed when you are already awake? Let's go to Vulture today, do we want to go together? I had a lot of things to do yesterday and forgot to tell you. ”
"No, no." Ilan didn't want to refuse.
Ryan laughed at the other end, "You haven't been out since you came, have you?" The vulture is very close, we will meet in front of the camp cafeteria in half an hour, and we will be back tomorrow night, many people will go, hurry up and prepare to go downstairs. ”
Yilan said helplessly: "I really don't go." ”
Ryan also insisted on persuading: "You didn't wake up, you can squint on the aircraft ship for a while, and stay at the base all the time, aren't you boring?" Come out and meet people. ”
"I'm not going," Ilan sighed, "next time, I've had something to do in the past two days." ”
Ryan stared at Ilan for a while, didn't force it anymore, and said angrily, "Sleep, sleep." ”
Ilan hung up the video and climbed into bed again, but couldn't sleep for a while. After suffering in bed for a while, I had to get up, take care of myself slowly, and put on my dress.
She took out the two bracelets and played with them unconsciously for a long time, before she looked at the teardrops on the table, the notches on the wooden beads were clearly visible, but she didn't dare to touch them as if her hands were hot, so she sat down in a daze until lunch, she hurried to the camp cafeteria to get nutrients and returned to the dormitory.
As the minutes passed, Ilan's heart became more and more nervous. The communication time period at the beginning of this month is known to Hosbei, and it has been exactly one month since their last video call.
Ilan remembers that they quarreled about her graduation assignment in college for a month, and then he came to her.
He ignored her, "How long can it be?" He used to say helplessly.
A slight smile appeared in her eyes, forcing the dazed uneasiness on her face.
By the end of the day, her heart was almost beating like a drum.
The communication function is restored.
Ilan kept staring at the communicator, from the initial anxiety of longing to the slow silence, his hands crumpling his skirt without realizing it.
In the last five minutes, she hurriedly checked the email system, and Ms. Qin said that the promotion of the drink was clear, and a promotion event would be arranged after the year. The Moss Administrative Center also sent her an email saying that her personal belongings had been sent to the garbage bin in accordance with her wishes.
Ilan silently shut down the email system, and with two minutes left, nothing was happening. The final time pointed to 2 p.m., and her communication function was blocked again.
Ilan Muran sat on the sofa, motionless until dusk. It wasn't until she felt hungry that she slowly got up and went to the camp cafeteria.
On the first weekend of the new year, many people in the base went out to play, and few people went to the camp restaurant to pick up food. After the three of them finished eating, they talked and laughed and passed by Ilan's side.
"There aren't many people today."
"Several groups of people have gone out to have fun."
"I've played on several nearby planets, so it's better to stay at the base."
"Also, it's not interesting, why don't we go to training at night?"
"Hehe, you're working too hard."
Ilan walked silently, thinking that she could also go to the physical training hall to pass the time after eating, and then her heart suddenly moved, the signal in the base was blocked, but the surrounding planets would not, Ryan They went to the Vulture this morning, and returned to the base tomorrow night, which is equivalent to spending the weekend on the Vulture, is that their signal for the whole weekend is unblocked?
Ilan's heart was pounding, she had never thought of this stubble, she had been huddled in the base and waited for the signal to be clear, in fact, as long as there was no training task or work rotation arranged on the weekend, she could move freely, as long as she came back before bedtime on Sunday.
All the while, she was overwhelmed by her training goals, never interested in wandering around the planet, and did have physical training for the first few months, and couldn't get out of it on weekends. But in fact, she can now arrange her time reasonably and go back and forth to the surrounding planets, as long as she is out of the Lone Crane Star, she can video with whoever she wants outside.
Together, this thought can no longer be stopped. Ilan checked the flight situation, only hesitated for a moment, and didn't even go back to the dormitory, and went directly from the restaurant to the airport. She had to catch her last flight out of Hong Kong, which was to Heron.
The voyage wasn't long, but for Ilan, every minute and every second was an ordeal. Her mind was so confused that she didn't know what to do when the signal was clear. The sleep therapy was completely ineffective because she couldn't sleep anyway, and she couldn't even lie down, so she could only sit on the edge of the bed nervously hunched over for a long time.
I'm going to hear him say again, "I want to try my life without you." "I died when I heard it.
This is the reason Ilan gave himself.
It was midnight and early in the morning when she disembarked from the ship, and Ilan looked at the communicator, and her signal status was normal, which meant that she could go to the star network and interstellar video. But she didn't dare to do anything, because she wasn't ready.
It is inconvenient in the airport, although there are not many people at this time, there are always a few passengers coming and going, and there will still be unwarranted interference between conversations.
The entrance of the hovercar shop is also inconvenient, even if there are no passers-by, but if she wanders in the dark night street, whispering alone, it is still not private enough.
Elan rents a hovercar, she has no idea about Heron and asks the autopilot system to take her to the nearest hotel.
She is the only one in the room, and she can say as long as she wants, and she can say whatever she wants.
At this time, it was the twilight of the main star of Edu, and the early morning of Adulwei, no matter where Hothbei was, it would not be inconvenient to talk to her.
Ilan pondered silently for a long time, but still didn't think about what to say.
But she didn't come to wait for this far. Ilan took a deep breath and clicked on Hothbei's contact number.
In the virtual projection screen, there is no human figure, only three lines of concise words pop out.
"Please forgive me for not accepting any messages in the workspace at this time."
"Matters related to the team can be conveyed to the emergency contact person Xuan."
"Project-related matters can be conveyed to the emergency contact person, Mr. Chu."
Ilan was a little stunned, she didn't expect this to happen, but undoubtedly, it relieved her slightly, and she could think about the wording of the first sentence again.
His mind was still very messy, except for calling him "Abei" first, Yilan didn't know what to say next.
Abei, Abei.
Yilan couldn't sort out his thoughts, so he simply guessed what Huo Sibei was busy with at this time. He was still working at this time, and he should be working hard. Ilan was fascinated by his appearance, and somehow, he was seen sitting on the edge of her bed, bowing his head to string a bracelet for her.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, he was very serious about doing things, and he was afraid that he was concentrating on disassembling the mecha at the moment.
Ilan exhaled softly, she had a lot of time this time, and it didn't matter if she waited.
Cranky waiting, inhaling, exhaling, dialing, disappointment, and waiting and dialing again and again, Ilan does this over and over again in her hotel room on Heron Star, once an hour.
The heart is numb, but still does not give up, because the surprise is often when it is numb, quietly and suddenly.
But this time it didn't, and Elan didn't encounter such a surprise until she had to leave. As soon as Ilan stepped onto the aircraft ship to the base, her signal would be re-blocked, and Hothbei's video log would not leave her contact number, and he would not even know that she had sought him.
Although it is extremely disappointing, there is also a happy thing, that is, she does not have to be confined to the base for the next weekend to wait for the signal to be clear, and she can take a flight to video like this time.
Also, it's not that Huo Sibei doesn't contact her, he's busy.
On the way back, Ilan felt much more at ease, and she was going to do it again next week, Horth North wouldn't be in the work area every time, they would always have a chance to talk.
When Ilan returned to Lone Bird, it was Sunday afternoon, and it was not yet dinner time. She hurried to squint, she had to recuperate, and she had to go to work tomorrow.
She was woken up by Ryan's video again.
Ilan rubbed her hair a few times with a headache, and the short hair didn't mess up anyway, so she sat on the bed and picked up the video: "Ryan, what's wrong?" ”
"Beauty, I'm back." Ryan said gleefully.
"Got it." Ilan said weakly, with a low tone in his voice that was characteristic of just waking up.
"What are you doing?" Ryan asked with a smile.
"Nap."
"Won't it?" I only heard Ryan shouting over there, "Beauty, look at the sky outside, it's all dark, and you're still taking a nap?" ”
"How do I know when I'm asleep? Is there something wrong? It's okay, I'm going to the restaurant. Ilan watched the time, but luckily hadn't missed dinner.
"Which restaurant?" Ryan asked.
"Which one else? As far as the camp restaurant goes, I'm hungry. ”
"You can really sleep and eat." Ryan looked teasing.
Yilan didn't talk nonsense anymore, unceremoniously turned off the video directly, and went downstairs straight to the camp restaurant. Just after getting the nutrients and returning to the garage, Ryan's video came.
This time Ilan didn't speak, and after picking it up, he glared at Ryan.
Ryan asked, "Beauty, is the movement so grinding?" I'm waiting in the restaurant. ”
Ilan was speechless: "You didn't say you were going to the restaurant, I've already been there and come back, is there anything wrong?" ”
Ryan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being trained, and the movements are faster than before." I'll go to Vulture and see something I've never seen before, and I'll give it to you for identification. What building are you in? ”
Yilan said helplessly: "How do I know about identification? ”
"Which building?" Ryan urged.
Yilan said his building number, sat directly in the car and ate the nutrients first, and not long after, a car drove into the garage. Ryan walked down and looked left and right, and it seemed that he was about to turn on the communicator again, and Ilan hurriedly got out of the car to greet him.
"Are you going to look in the car or in your room? I think it's better to go to the room and see it, it may take some time. Ryan laughed.
"What's that? You'd better find someone else, I don't understand anything. Ilan asked suspiciously.
Ryan smiled and took out a box from the car: "Let's go, take me up." ”
Ilan squinted at him: "Did I say take you up?" You're right here to show me. Anyway, I don't understand, I can't help you see it, it won't take much time. ”
"Beauty, you always don't listen to my advice, you will regret it." Ryan said, "Get in the car, I'll open it for you." ”
"Didn't you already take it out? I can't open it now. Ilan became more and more suspicious.
Ryan smiled meaningfully, shook his head and said, "There is surveillance in the garage, and good things can't be taken out casually." He sat directly in the car and shouted at Ilan, "Hurry up, the two of them have been standing in the garage and talking, stupid or not?" ”
Ilan glared at him, pulled open the door on the other side and sat inside.
"Are you ready?" Ryan looked at Elan with a grin.
"What do you want to prepare? Hurry up and open it. Ilan urged. (To be continued.) )
