Chapter 6: Regret
"Then I'll go offline first."
As the prompt sound of "Ding Dong" sounded, Cheng Xi returned to reality from his memories. may be because Cheng Qing saw that Cheng Xi didn't reply to any messages for a long time, so she quit the chat window of the social software first.
"Really, my brother's online time will always be a mystery." Cheng Xi complained secretly, then leaned on the back of the train chair and spent this short train journey by closing his eyes and resting.
What Cheng Xi complained about was Cheng Qing's irregular online time. Generally speaking, as long as Cheng Qing finishes chatting, she will clear the chat software from the mobile phone software process, and will not let the software occupy the mobile phone memory and consume additional power. This also makes it impossible for the software to notify the owner of the number in the notification bar after receiving the message.
And Cheng Qing is hardly online a few times a day, he is not the kind of person who wants to keep up with the trend of the surrounding environment, so he doesn't care much about some hot topics in the mobile phone chat software.
It is precisely because of the above that Cheng Qing's online time is very casual, except for his own things to seek others to log in, he is generally not online. And there are many times when others come to him and they don't get a timely answer.
No, Cheng Qing always adheres to his own philosophy, he thinks that using the power of the mobile phone on chat software is a complete waste, and he will never allow it to hang up in the background.
At the end of the short conversation, Cheng Qing put away his mobile phone, looked out the window, watched the scenery flash by the window, and asked, "Master, where are we now?" ”
"It's the middle of the airport expressway now, and it is estimated that at the current speed, it will take a while to arrive." Master Lu said.
"Okay, thank you, master." Cheng Qing's worries were slightly lowered, after all, if you count the road in the previous urban area, plus half of the distance currently traveled on the highway, she has already gone through a large part of the total trip.
"Oh, this passenger, do you mind if I leave the window open a little?" Master Lu said as he drove.
"Of course, it's nothing, it's okay to breathe." Cheng Qing said considerately.
Considering that the master took his long-distance order, he had to run for such a long time in the morning. After driving for such a long time, I must have been a little tired at this point. It is also necessary to open windows for ventilation.
However, this will make the indoor air conditioning effect much worse, but Cheng Qing doesn't care about this. In his opinion, if it weren't for this master, maybe no one would really pull his guests for a long distance.
And if no one carries him, then the pick-up task must not be completed on time.
So Cheng Qing immediately agreed to the master's plan.
Master Lu controlled the buttons with his left hand, and opened the four windows slightly, and suddenly fresh air poured in from the windows, which made people feel a lot more sober.
Master Lu saw the wind blowing into the carriage for ventilation, then adjusted his seat and leaned slightly on the seat, probably because of the fatigue of driving for a long time but maintaining the same posture.
"By the way, young man, you went to the airport early in the morning, did you go on a trip? Or is it pick-up, drop-off? Master Lu asked inadvertently.
"It's a pick-up, and my mother said it's a girl." Cheng Qing replied truthfully.
"Girl...... Master Lu rubbed his hand on the steering wheel, and said as if reminiscing, "When I was young, I was almost the same as you are now, except that I was going to see off the plane."
"Before the day I was dropped, there had been a very rare heavy rainstorm, which exceeded the city's drainage capacity, and the city was flooded, which is also known as flooding." Master Lu began to state his experience.
"However, because the airport is far away from the city, it has not been affected by flooding, and it just so happened that the girl, a good friend of mine, had to return to study abroad in the near future at that time."
"Originally, it was agreed that we would go to the airport together in a few days and say goodbye together, but at that time, she received a notice to return to school."
She was afraid that the floods would reach the airport and even the flights taking off, preventing her from going abroad. Early in the morning when she learned of the increase in flood intensity, she went to the airport a few days earlier than the agreed date and left me a message. ”
"It's just that at that time, I was busy with work, and I didn't do driving work, I worked in an ordinary small company, just graduated from college, and it was a place for me to settle down. At that time, the company had a demand for some activity plans, so I asked for several more on the night shift, thinking that my plan would be selected. It's all about living necessities, as the program is chosen for an additional salary. ”
"This also made my routine very disordered, at that time, when meals were planned, when I was hungry, I would buy a bowl of instant noodles to satisfy my hunger, there were no three meals a day, and how could I pay attention to the things of work and sleep."
"So when she left to send me a message in the morning, I was in the state of finishing the night shift, and I was so tired from staying up all night, I was in the company, on my own desk, and I slept for a while."
"Then ...... you now" Cheng Qing heard this and looked at Master Lu, he actually had some answers in his heart, the reason why he became a taxi driver is probably because of the bankruptcy of the company or something.
"Because the company was facing a broken capital chain, it was forced to dissolve, and later I interviewed many companies but failed. After a month of abandonment, I decided to find a job to support myself, so I became a taxi driver and have been doing it ever since. ”
"Well, then you go on." Cheng Qing decided to be a polite observer and listen to the whole story.
"When I woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and at that time I noticed the message on my phone, and I just saw her message to me, and it was more than an hour since she sent the message."
"I immediately spoke to her on the phone, I didn't understand it at first, but then I understood her difficulty, she said that the flight took off at 11 a.m., and like you, I only had about two hours to react."
"She said that before the plane took off, she would wait for me to go, and see her again before she left Dongdu, even if she left first, but other than that, he still didn't want to miss other appointments."
"I immediately ran out of the office, and then held an umbrella on the side of the road, frantically stopping taxi after taxi. Some of them don't stop at all and pass by you like nothing, probably because the heavy rain doesn't want the car to go to the heavily waterlogged road section and the vehicle is damaged, so they refuse to ride. ”
"Some cars stopped, but as soon as they heard that they were going to the airport, they didn't take it, probably because the airport was too far away and it took too long, which affected their passenger flow in the city."
"In this way, I waited in the rain for more than half an hour, and by the time I finally got into a taxi, there was not enough time, and as time went on, the road had already begun to ...... There was a traffic jam. ”
"Didn't you catch up with your friend's appointment?" Cheng Qing already knew the answer in her heart.
"yes, by the time I arrived, the plane had already taken off. Later, she went to study and work abroad, and stayed in a foreign country to live, as for her mobile phone number, it was also changed to a foreign one, and she has not met again. ”
Master Lu's eyes were a little gloomy, and Cheng Qing thought to herself, maybe the friendship between the two before was really good, but due to going abroad, they never met again, and the connection was so weak.
"This is my regret," Master Lu said, "I also understand those masters back then, the airport line is too long, it is difficult to run, and it will be very tiring to go down a trip, so except for making an appointment in advance, it is rare for a master in the city to take you to the airport." ”
"That's why I'm picking you up, I don't want to see the same thing happen like I did back then, I don't want you to wait for a long time in the big sun without anyone picking you up."
"What's more, now I know that this is the first meeting between you and the girl, pick up or something, look at the first impression, if you miss the appointment at the first meeting, and arrive late, you won't get along well later."
"Thank you, master." Cheng Qing realized how lucky she was to get on the master's ride.
"By the way, what time is your flight, but I forgot to ask you." Master Lu asked.
"Ten o'clock." Cheng Qing looked at the memo on her phone, confirmed it, and said.
"Ten o'clock...... Master Lu glanced at the time on the electronic dashboard in front of him and said, "At nine o'clock, it will definitely arrive." ”
"Next, sit down."
Master Lu closed the window, quickly pulled his hand on the shifter, turned the gear up, and stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and in an instant, the speed of the car increased rapidly.
Before Cheng Qing could react, he fell the backrest, and he immediately pulled down the armrest and held it tightly, so as to let himself sit firmly on the seat.
"Are you ......," Cheng Qing asked tentatively.
"Don't worry, my regret, I won't let it happen to you in the same form." Master Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
"But I'm sorry that I can't wait for you at the taxi parking lot at the airport, because there are still a lot of orders to be processed in the city, and the boss is calling me to get back to the city quickly."
"Alright, boy, it's better not to talk to me in the future, it's a lot of concentration to be too fast and stay within the speed limit."
After Master Lu finished speaking, he began to pay attention to the current road conditions, so he slowly stepped on the accelerator slightly, and slowly increased the speed of the car.
"Okay."
Cheng Qing didn't dare to make a sound to disturb again, at this time, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated a few times, and he took out his mobile phone in confusion to see what was happening.
It stands to reason that the background of his phone is in the best state, which means that there is no software left to run in the background. But suddenly, it vibrated a few times without a ringtone, indicating that it was a short message.
But the results are often unexpected by Cheng Qing, yes, all that appears on the status bar of his mobile phone are multiple advertisements popping up by a news software.
"What's going on...... Cheng Qing's heart was full of puzzlement, he had never downloaded news software.
Cheng Qing thought about it, and suddenly remembered that he had used a browser to search for something a few days ago, but when he was about to quit, he received some homepage pushes, and he flipped through them at random because he was very interested, probably because he clicked into the exclusive content push of some news software, which led to the bundled download.
This kind of software is really a bummer.
Cheng Qing only had this one idea left in her heart, and then she was going to take a look and then clear the push on the status bar, and then delete the software.
After all, it is downloaded using the data network of the mobile phone, and this kind of software download consumes a certain amount of network traffic, so it can't be wasted.
It's also a little far from the arrival airport, and it's too boring to sit alone on the road, and it's okay to pass the time by looking at these things.
Cheng Qing looked at the content of the first article, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then clicked on it to take a look.
The band of the Sun will have plans to hold a world tour, with the first stop scheduled for the 80,000-person building in the East Metropolis, the East Metropolis Sports Center. The exact date has not yet been officially announced, but reservations can be made in advance, and the website that boosts the band's popularity can be found at the end of this article. ”
It seems that Xiaoxi likes this band very much.
Even if Cheng Qing is not very familiar with music, he still knows something about the name of the Sun Band.
This band is popular all over the world with the perfect combination of some young people. Their music is all self-composed and of a very high quality. Some of the pieces are full of passion and have a strong sense of rhythm. Although the rhythm is steady, there is a deep emotion in them. It is very easy to drive the emotions of the audience.
And the voice of the lead singer is very magnetic, and the original excellent lyrics of the song have been filled, and it can be said that it has played a role in icing on the cake after singing.
"Maybe she knows the news now, I'll ask her when I go home today, and if she likes it, I'll have to book it on the website first and participate in the popular event."
Cheng Qing thought in her heart, withdrew from the news, and then continued to look down.
But most of the messages pushed below didn't attract Cheng Qing's attention, so he casually flipped through them and clicked on another piece of news.
"The Jinxi group has officially debuted, please be sure to support our new group."
"It should be that the popularity of the Sun Band is too high, this famous band is quite popular at the moment, so I will also focus on reporting on this matter. And the news of the group's debut almost appeared at the end of the push message, and the layout was only a short sentence, and the popularity was all covered by the Sun Band, which did not play any role in publicity at all. ”
Cheng Qing continued to think about it, and then decided to close the software and uninstall it.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a new message popped up on the news software, which made Cheng Qing curiously click back again.
"The latest news, at about 9:30 in the morning, a major fire broke out in the freshman welfare home in Dongdu, the fire is still spreading, the fire at the scene is still being extinguished, and the firefighters are also trying their best to save the trapped people, and the casualties are unknown. At present, the cause of the fire is unknown. We, the press community, continue to follow up on this matter. ”
What the?
Cheng Qing's heart was full of incredulity at this time, this welfare home can be said to be a welfare home that has been established in the Eastern Capital for a long time. When I was a child, whenever Cheng Qing's parents had to work outside, Cheng Qing's father would entrust the director, and then Cheng Qing and Cheng Xi would be taken to the welfare home by the director of the welfare home to take care of.
Cheng Qing still remembers that her personality was quite good at that time, and she made some friends during the period she spent in the welfare home when she was a child.
The director of the welfare institute is called Qi Xinjie, he is an upright person, a man of righteousness and responsibility, and a very kind person. This also made Cheng Qing respect the dean very much when she was a child.
So when she heard the news of the fire in this welfare home, Cheng Qing felt very incredible.
"This is ......" Cheng Qing instantly had the idea of immediately asking Master Lu to turn around and go back to the welfare home, to determine if there were any casualties and what caused the fire.
However, the current pick-up task must also be taken care of. I'll have to wait until I return to check on the welfare home.
With doubts in her heart, Cheng Qing leaned heavily on the back of the seat, closed her eyes slightly, and folded her hands.
"I hope there aren't too many casualties......"
Cheng Qing prayed silently in her heart, raised her head again, and opened her eyes to look ahead, her eyes full of worry.
