Chapter 45 Pick-up

One day during filming, when he was taking a break for a while, Zhang Chengyuan suddenly received a mobile phone message, the content of the message was very simple, it was written like this: "Brother, I will go back to South Korea tomorrow morning, you have to pick me up!" As soon as he saw this content, he knew that the sender was his favorite little sister, Zheng Xiujing, nicknamed "Crystal".

What puzzled him was that Xiao Crystal had not returned to China with his relatives for the Spring Festival, and now it was April, and the elementary schools in San Francisco had been open for several months, but he suddenly returned to South Korea, could it be that something major happened? Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but have some doubts and worries in his heart, and he just hoped that nothing bad would happen.

On the same day, Zhang Chengyuan specially asked the director for half a day's leave, preparing to go to the airport tomorrow morning to pick up Xiao Jing. The director read that he was usually diligent and desperate enough to film, so he smiled and agreed.

The next day, Jang Sung-won got up early in the morning, because it was a personal matter and he had just obtained his driver's license, so he did not take the company's car but drove a car borrowed from Park Byungyeol, first went to pick up Jung so-yeon, who had made an appointment with him last night, and then went straight to Incheon International Airport along the highway on the south bank of the Han River.

Incheon International Airport, which officially opened on March 29 this year, was originally built to solve the problem of Seoul's Gimpo International Airport, which is unable to continue to cope with the growth of shipping volumes, which is hindering South Korea's economic development. Construction of the airport began at the end of 1992 and took nearly eight years to complete, which was described by the South Korean media as the largest project since the founding of the country. On the day of completion, South Korean President Kim Dae-jung pledged to strive to make Incheon International Airport a central airport in Asia and a new driving force for South Korea's economic development.

I have to say that this airport is indeed very beautiful, there is no waste of the South Korean government's huge investment, the airport itself is beautiful and beautiful, the surrounding environment is also beautiful and quiet, compared with it, the original Gimpo International Airport on the outskirts of Seoul is very shabby, which greatly affects the overall image of South Korea, so that as soon as the new airport is completed, Gimpo International Airport, which has made great contributions to the Korean economy, is immediately downgraded to a secondary airport based on domestic flights.

However, the new airport is very bad, that is, it is a little farther away from the downtown area of Seoul, and Jang Sung-won drove about an hour from the downtown area of Seoul to get there, while it used to take more than 20 minutes to go to Gimpo Airport, and it took more than an hour to go back and forth.

On the road, while driving, Zhang Chengyuan chatted with Zheng Xiuyan without a word, asking her about her recent condition. Zheng Xiuyan will answer all questions, and if she doesn't ask, she won't answer, she doesn't say a word, she looks very indifferent, and she doesn't know if she is complaining that Zhang Chengyuan has visited her a lot less recently, or if she is used to getting along with Zhang Chengyuan like this. Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan sometimes has the same problem, so he doesn't think it's wrong.

Arriving at the airport, Zheng Xiuyan's mind was immediately attracted by the various novel facilities and dazzling goods in the airport. For Zheng Xiuyan, who hasn't gone out shopping for a long time, many things are very fresh.

At this time, there was still a long time before the flight from San Francisco arrived at Incheon Airport, so Zhang Chengyuan was bored and accompanied Zheng Xiuyan to hang around to kill time, and from time to time paid for Zheng Xiuyan's snacks and some novel gadgets. Although Zheng Xiuyan stated that he was only borrowing his money temporarily and would return it later, Zhang Chengyuan was embarrassed to ask her for it, and besides, there was not much money in total.

After shopping for more than half an hour, seeing that it was about to arrive, Zhang Chengyuan pulled Zheng Xiuyan, who was still unsatisfied, away and hurried to the exit of the arrival hall of the airport. Fortunately, no big stars will arrive or return to South Korea at this time of day, and the pick-up area is not too crowded, and a good position was chosen at the place directly opposite the exit, and the two stood there bored and waited.

Zhang Chengyuan asked casually, "Who came back with Xiujing?" ”

Zheng Xiuyan replied, "My father." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then won't your mother come back?" ”

Zheng Xiuyan glanced at Zhang Chengyuan and said, "After my mother returned to China during the Chinese New Year, she didn't go to the United States again. ”

This news surprised Zhang Chengyuan, he always thought that Zheng's mother had already gone abroad, and he was a little ashamed in his heart, feeling that he was really too busy with work during this time to pay too little attention to Zheng Xiuyan.

After a while, he asked again, "Why did Xiujing come back at this time, isn't she going to elementary school over there?" ”

Zheng Xiuyan: "I heard my mother say that my father is going to return to China for development, and Xiujing is also going back to school." ”

The parents have returned to South Korea, and it is normal to arrange for their young daughter to return to China to go to school. Since it's not a bad thing, Zhang Chengyuan is no longer worried about Xiao Jingjing, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back, you can often meet with the crystal girl in the future." ”

Zheng Xiuyan muttered, "In this way, you don't have to come to see me." Although the voice was small, it couldn't escape Zhang Chengyuan's ears.

Zhang Chengyuan glanced at Zheng Xiuyan's pretty face suspiciously, feeling that her mood seemed to be a little gloomy, and he wanted to ask the reason but was afraid that she would not reveal his heart to her, so he shook his head and simply didn't ask.

The two were silent again.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zheng's father and Xiao Jing finally came out, and Zheng Xiuyan shouted loudly: "Dad! Father! It's a pity that the scene was too noisy, neither Zheng's father nor Xiao Jing heard it, but Zhang Chengyuan's tall and burly body and chic waving movements made Xiao Jing notice it at once. Xiao Jing immediately let go of his father's sleeves and ran towards Zhang Chengyuan with a shout, completely ignoring his sister who was standing next to Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan bent down and picked her up, felt that she was no less than eight pounds heavier than last year, pinched her round face, and said with a smile: "Ouch! has gained so much weight, my brother will not be able to hold it. ”

Xiao Jing said angrily: "Nonsense, I'm not fat, but I've grown taller, and when I'm taller, I'll naturally be heavier." However, brother, you are still so tall, and I don't know when I will be able to reach your mouth. She said as she touched the position of Zhang Chengyuan's people with her fingers.

Zhang Chengyuan felt a little strange and asked, "Why do you have to grow to such a high level as my brother's mouth?" ”

Little Crystal said: "Brother, you are so stupid! When I grow so tall, I can match you after I put on high heels, and when I go out in the future, others will definitely envy me to death. ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "Really? Then you need to eat more and exercise more to grow faster. ”

At this time, Zheng's father hugged his eldest daughter Zheng Xiuyan and said a few thoughtful words, then turned around and stretched out his right hand to Zhang Chengyuan. Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly put down the little crystal, and respectfully stretched out his hand to hold Zheng's father's palm. Without waiting for him to let go, Father Zheng suddenly stretched out his left hand again, gently patted the back of his palm twice, and then held it, and said gratefully: "Thank you for coming to pick me up and Xiujing, and thank you for taking care of Xiuyan this year." ”

Zhang Chengyuan is a little awkward, his hand is held like this is the first time for him, although he knows that this handshake method is just to show the love of the elders for the younger generation, but the etiquette habits he developed in his previous life made him very resistant to touching men's skin, in normal times, if it is not necessary, he will never shake hands with men, hook shoulders or something. At that moment, he bent down to lift the suitcase for Zheng's father, took the opportunity to pull out his hand, and said sincerely: "This is what I should do, in my heart, Xiuyan and Xiujing are my sisters." I could tell that he was quite sincere.

As soon as she heard this, Zheng Xiuyan's eyes immediately lit up, and her mood suddenly became happy, while Xiao Jing grinned and held Zhang Chengyuan's left hand and smiled sweetly.
