Chapter 8: First Sight
After walking out of the bakery, Cheng Qing didn't have time to taste the fresh salad bun she had just bought, and the time on her mobile phone was displayed as 9:55, which means that it was only five minutes away from the agreed time.
It seems that I don't know the specific appearance of the person who was picked up, and I haven't agreed on a special waiting place.
Cheng Qing remembered this important question.
At this time, Cheng Qing's mobile phone suddenly rang, interrupting Cheng Qing's thinking.
"Who will call at this time......" Cheng Qing took out her mobile phone from her pocket, which showed her mother calling. So he pressed the answer button.
"Xiaoqing, there is some important information about the person who was picked up and forgot to send it to you, I will send it in the form of chat software later, at present you need to go to the second international arrival exit. At the current time, you should have arrived at the airport. ”
"I've arrived at the airport and I'm on my way to the arrivals." After Cheng Qing heard Yu Wei's words, the problems in her heart disappeared.
Next, she is about to face a new member of the family who may have to stay in her home for a long time, and Cheng Qing's heart is also full of unknowns.
"Okay, I've been a little busy lately, so please go to pick up the plane, but I forgot to pass these messages to Xiaoqing."
The voice on the other end of the line was apologetic.
"I just wanted to ask you this, and also, pay more attention to rest, don't let the work pressure be too much." Cheng Qing replied.
"Then thank you Xiaoqing for your concern, I still have to work here, so I'll go and get busy first." Yu Wei seemed very relieved to hear Cheng Qing's concern, and hung up the phone after speaking.
"Ding-dong." Cheng Qing's mobile phone rang with a prompt, it was a message from the chat software, the sender of the message was Yu Wei, and there was a phone number, a photo, and a name.
The photo is a girl who made Cheng Qing feel very special at first sight, according to Cheng Qing's calculations, this photo should have been taken a year or two ago. The girl in the photo, wearing the uniform of a middle school, is quietly leaning against a cherry blossom tree. It's April, and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The cherry blossoms fall in the wind, adding a sense of beauty to the girl leaning on the tree.
The girl's face is delicate, and when she leans lightly on the cherry blossom tree, her temperament is extraordinary, and her long hair is gently blown by the wind, forming a perfect picture, which makes Cheng Qing stunned for a moment. When she slowly came back to her senses, Cheng Qing was also slightly surprised by her loss just now, and immediately calmed down a trace of turmoil in her heart.
This is the new family member who will be faced, Cheng Qing thought, and then looked at the name below, this girl is called, Wei Yibai.
After silently reciting the name a few times in her heart, Cheng Qing also arrived at the No. 2 International Arrivals Exit where the girl named Wei Yibai would arrive. At the place where this exit is located, there are already many people waiting for the passengers who are about to get off the plane. Cheng Qing took out his mobile phone and confirmed it again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, if there was no accident that the plane was not delayed, then he would see the person he wanted to pick up immediately.
As soon as she thought of this, Cheng Qing's heart was filled with a trace of confusion, how should she get along with this new member, what her hobbies, personality, and habits were, what her experience and past were, and many things that Cheng Qing had never faced and understood. He couldn't help but be confused by the unknown.
But at this time, Cheng Qing's heart began to beat violently, what was the reason, was it because of the photo just now? Or is it because of the confusion about the unknown future? Or is it a novelty? Cheng Qing didn't know this, and he decided not to ask himself repeatedly in his heart, or should rely on himself to find the answer.
Calm down again in the previous life is always unfazed, but at this time there is a trace of unexpected nervousness in the heart, Cheng Qing confirmed the time, and looked far away in the direction of the exit.
At this time, a wave of people came into Cheng Qing's eyes, and there were also other voices of people who were waiting for the person they wanted to pick up, or excited, or excited, or moved to pick up the airport. Some of them shouted out the names of the people they wanted to meet, and some held up the light signs and honor plates in their hands to attract the attention of the passengers who got off the plane, but there was really no one like Cheng Qing who stood still and did nothing.
Cheng Qing definitely didn't think about so many pick-up matters in advance, after all, he only received the request not long ago, and he basically forgot about the task in the three days after receiving the task. Therefore, he has neither a glittering light sign nor a large card that attracts attention, nor does he have the courage to shout her name, because this is the first time we have met, and shouting her name between people who are not familiar with each other will definitely not make a particularly good impression on people. At the same time, he didn't have such a loud voice, and even if he had, it would only seem insignificant in the shouts of these emotionally charged pick-ups.
And if it is a method of comparing the photo with the other party's face, this will be very inefficient, and many times of raising and bowing will miss many past passengers, and it will not be long before many people will rush to the pick-up place, and Cheng Qing is behind many people because of the late arrival, and the view is completely unclear in the crowd, which can only be observed and compared as much as possible, but it is obviously unrealistic to completely rely on this method.
Cheng Qing had also dialed the phone number Yu Wei had just sent just now, but after dialing it, it was reported that the other party's mobile phone was turned off. Obviously, after getting on the plane, the girl named Wei Yibai turned off her mobile phone, but forgot to turn it on.
I didn't agree on a place to meet in advance, so I had to resign myself to fate. The best case scenario is to wait for Wei Yibai to turn on the phone and she will call Cheng Qing's number, or Cheng Qing will call her again, because at this time Cheng Qing does not know if his mother also gave Wei Yibai his phone number.
If he told Wei Yibai his phone, because if Wei Yibai's mobile phone was turned off when he was on the plane, according to the time when his mother shared Wei Yibai's information with him, as long as Wei Yibai's mobile phone was not turned on, she would not be able to see the message. But if she remembers to turn on the phone, she will naturally be able to see the message and contact him. But if Yu Wei hadn't told Wei Yibai his phone number, then Cheng Qing could only contact her, and she had to try her luck over and over again, trying to call until Wei Yibai's phone was turned on. Or she can take the initiative to get Cheng Qing's own phone number.
But if you forget to turn on the plane, then the worst situation is that everyone around you will leave after receiving the person you need to pick up, and only Wei Yibai will be left after getting off the plane to wait for the person who picks up. In this way, you can most intuitively understand who the pick-up person wants to pick up or who needs to pick up the passengers who get off the plane.
However, the worse situation is that the person being picked up will follow the moving crowd and leave the airport by himself, the best is to choose the subway or taxi transportation mode according to some navigation software to go to the destination, and the worst is to lose the direction and get lost.
"It's been a long time......"
"I miss you so much......"
"Welcome back, hard work......"
"How's it going over there......
Countless greetings drowned out Cheng Qing's thoughts at this time, and the noise around him made his thoughts even more confused, he couldn't see clearly ahead, only the scene that was particularly excited after a group of acquaintances met. I had no choice but to put down the hand holding the phone, use the hand to compare the photos in the gallery, re-adjust the phone to the dial panel, and dial Wei Yibai's phone over and over again, but unfortunately it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and the result was always only the prompt voice of the machine.
The crowd occupying the front of the waiting area gradually dispersed a little, even if Cheng Qing had always adhered to the peaceful and leisurely mentality of not fighting or grabbing, and going with the flow, at this time, he could only helplessly take a few steps closer to the front area quietly to occupy the best observation position. But whether it was the impression of Wei Yibai on the photo he remembered just now in his mind, or the phone number dialed on his mobile phone, it was completely useless.
It's a headache. Cheng Qing couldn't help but feel powerless in his heart, even if he still didn't give up and dialed Wei Yibai's mobile phone number over and over again.
When Cheng Qing was sure that Wei Yibai had forgotten to turn on the phone, his shoulder was gently patted, Cheng Qing looked back suspiciously, there was a girl in front of him, and to his surprise, this girl was exactly the same appearance and temperament as Wei Yibai he remembered just now. That is, she recognized herself.
Could it be that his mother sent him a picture as well? But in the same crowd, how could she recognize me at a glance?
"Are you Aunt Wei talking about, Cheng Qing who came to pick up the airport?"
The girl looked at Cheng Qing and turned around, and then asked.
Cheng Qing looked at the girl at this time, paused slightly, and Gujing Wubo's heart seemed to be rippling.
Obviously, Cheng Qing felt that she seemed to have a tendency to be fascinated by the girl in front of her.
And with that came the names of the people in her words.
Quickly sobered himself up, Cheng Qing had some doubts.
Aunt Wei? Cheng Qing didn't react for a while, but he immediately understood that what she was talking about was his mother Yu Wei.
"Yes, the first time we met, my name is Cheng Qing, presumably there are some things My mother, who is the Sister Wei you just mentioned, has also introduced it to you in detail. Then please give me a lot of advice in the future," Cheng Qing said simply, "But how did you find me, I remember that there was no clear place to agree." ”
"Aunt Wei said, the most common thing in the crowd is you, the person who picks up the airport here is holding a shining light sign or a large card that attracts attention, or someone will wave his hand, and the area you are in happens to be empty, I noticed this, I will ask tentatively first." The girl answered Cheng Qing's doubts.
What is the most ordinary is me......
Cheng Qing couldn't help but complain in her heart about her mother, who had a black belly, and then thought about it, it seemed that she had nothing to refute when she described herself like this.
"My name is Wei Yibai, I need to stay at your home after returning to China this time, I'm sorry for you, please advise." The girl also briefly introduced herself in response to Cheng Qing.
"Then go outside and take a car back to the city, I also need to go to your house first and familiarize myself with the things that need to be paid attention to." In every sentence of Wei Yibai, her polite temperament is revealed, and her performance is extremely cultivated, which makes people can't help but be impressed by her.
It seems that the family education she has received since she was a child is very strict, and her family background is not simple.
Cheng Qing lowered her head and thought about it, and after hearing Wei Yibai's words, she bowed her head and said, "Okay." ”
Holding Wei Yibai's suitcase that was temporarily put aside, Cheng Qing led the way first and walked outside the terminal.
When Wei Yibai was just about to pull up the suitcase, she found that Cheng Qing had already taken a step ahead of her and helped her carry the extremely heavy suitcase to the exit.
A hint of warmth appeared in his heart, but Wei Yibai still quickly followed Cheng Qing's side and said, "This backpack is ...... It's better to let me come, so you don't have to work hard to complete the pick-up task so early. ”
Cheng Qing looked at the suitcase, it should be full of items, and felt that the weight of this suitcase was not ordinary, and it should have been forcibly stuffed in when the luggage was finally loaded, and all the remaining space in the bag was used. Also, after all, I returned to my home country from abroad, and I came back to start a new study and a period of life, and I guess there are many things that need to be brought back, and it is not something that can be filled in a suitcase.
The suitcase is black throughout, and there is nothing particularly eye-catching, maybe the girl in front of her doesn't like some fancy decorations.
Cheng Qing pondered in her heart.
After hearing Wei Yibai's excuse, Cheng Qing also responded: "If it is from the country you left to your own country, the total flight time of this flight should be at least twelve hours, and the length of the flight time of direct flights between these two countries is also a long time among all flights, if you don't have a break during the flight, then you will be very tired, so I still hope that I can do it for you." ”
Wei Yibai was a little surprised by Cheng Qing's words, because the content of Cheng Qing's words was basically consistent with the facts, and she was also very looking forward to returning to her country because she hadn't returned to her country for a long time, and she was looking forward to being able to return to her slightly familiar environment at this time, so she didn't rest along the way.
Not too much to push anything, Wei Yibai said with a little stagnation: "Thank you...... up"
Although Wei Yibai remembered Cheng Qing's name, there was a hint of strangeness when she really called it, and she tried her best to add some honorifics and the like. Cheng Qing also noticed this carefully, and said to Wei Yibai: "If it doesn't work, you don't need to call my name, just say something to me directly." ”
"Then, I'll call you by your full name directly, followed by Jun, is it okay?" Wei Yibai looked up at Cheng Qing, thought of a good way to call her, and asked Cheng Qing's opinion.
"Yes, as long as you call me that, but if you still don't feel comfortable, you don't need to call me by my name, just tell me if there's anything." Cheng Qing also understood that she needed some process to adapt to the new environment and new people, and replied.
"I may still need to get used to it, so let's call you Cheng Qingjun first." Wei Yibai said, obviously for a new person, how to call it needs to be considered for a while, whether it sounds or she thinks it herself.
"Okay, now it's outside the terminal, because of the season, it's summer in my country, so it's going to be very hot, so try to get a taxi back to the city."
Not long after getting out of the exposure to the sun, Cheng Qing once again stood under the scorching sun, because she was afraid that Wei Yibai would not be able to adapt to this kind of weather, Cheng Qing reminded.
"It's nothing, when I left my country a few years ago, the weather was almost so hot, I'm used to it."
Wei Yibai shook his head to show that he could accept this kind of hot weather, and did not take out any sunscreen, sun umbrellas and other items to prevent strong sunlight, but also stood in the waiting area with Cheng Qing, waiting for the taxi to arrive.
Both of them were patiently waiting for the taxi, probably because Cheng Qing was lucky today, the taxi arrived quickly, as if it was also carrying a passenger like Cheng Qing, which can be seen from the huge number plate in the hand of the passenger when he got off.
Tell the master the address of his home and ask a little. The master happily accepted the order, for him to be able to carry the guests on the return trip, so that there was no need to run a return trip. Immediately let Cheng Qing and Wei Yibai get into the taxi.
Cheng Qing let Wei Yibai get into the car first, and then prepared to put the suitcase into the trunk of the rental car first.
"In the trunk, there will be a button under the handlebar, just press the button up with a slight force, and remember to close it lightly when you close it."
The master saw Cheng Qing walking towards the back of the taxi with his suitcase in the rearview mirror, and understood that he needed to put his luggage, so he enthusiastically reminded Cheng Qing.
This also seems to be a warm-hearted master.
Cheng Qing fumbled around the trunk, then found the button that the taxi master said, gently buckled it open, and then pushed it up, put the suitcase inside, and gently closed it according to the master's words. As if remembering something, he took out a business card from his pocket that Master Lu had given him just now.
After confirming that the business card was not missing, Cheng Qing opened the school bag, put the business card into a mezzanine in the bag, and then closed the zipper of the bag.
"Come on, this passenger, the air conditioner is on in the car, it must be much cooler, let's leave for the city early, there are other taxis that need to pick up passengers at this passenger point."
Probably because he was worried that some taxi masters in the back would be dissatisfied with the vehicles in front of him for too long at the pick-up point, the master's words carried a hint of urging.
"Okay, got it." Cheng Qing opened the door of the back seat and immediately got into the taxi. After the master saw Cheng Qing get into the car, he immediately put up gear, stepped on the accelerator, and started steadily, and with the gradual acceleration of the speed, the outline of the final airport gradually disappeared in the field of vision.
This is the first time I met her.
Cheng Qing looked at Wei Yibai, who was sitting on the right side of the back seat, and Wei Yibai was looking at the scenery outside the window at this time, extremely concentrated. It seems that I miss such a familiar scenery that I haven't seen in a long time.
Cheng Qing also turned her eyes out the window, and once again enjoyed the repeated scenery she had seen on the road when she came.
But what Cheng Qing didn't know was that the trajectory of his future life would be completely changed because of her appearance......
