Chapter 33: Pick-up

Qi Min took the subway to the capital airport, but it turned out to be an hour earlier than the expected arrival time of the flight.

She sat in a fast-food restaurant in the T3 terminal of the capital airport, waiting while rubbing the WIFI here. The speed of this WIFI is not bad, she turned on the chicken and found that Hua Ruiming was also online.

After catching up with acquaintances online, Qi Min asked Hua Ruiming in his voice: "On the big weekend, why are you still playing with your mobile phone here?" ”

"How can there be a weekend and still in the laboratory." Hua Ruiming smiled, "Are you done with the experiment?" ”

"I didn't even have much of an experiment today." Qi Min replied. After listening to Zhang Zhiyong's complaints, she also felt that it was a bit miserable to be a PI and a doctor. It seems that she will have to arrange the time plan for animal experiments in the future, and she always misses lunch like this, not to mention that Ke Li has been in high-intensity work, and even she, an assistant who touches fish, can't stand it.

"You are so happy. Now we do drug validation, and whenever someone uses a mouse, I have to watch from the animal room. Hua Ruiming smiled and said, "Which picture to choose?" ”

"Hmm...... Desert bar. Qi Min chose the road casually, "Just jump to a garbage dump." ”

If playing chicken is a single row or a double row of two blacks, Qi Min generally tends to jump to a place with fewer people to find equipment first, and then find a place to stay to reduce unnecessary movement. Hua Ruiming didn't have to pull her to be tough, they found a car and came to a small housing area, hid the car behind the house, and then went to another house next door to live on the second floor.

"There's a six-fold mirror here, you either?" Hua Ruiming asked Qi Min.

"No, I have a six-fold mirror." Qi Min said while dragging his vision to look out the window.

"Do you have an eight-fold mirror?" Hua Ruiming asked again.

"Nope." Qi Min asked, "What, how many do you have?" ”

"Here you go, I'm a mediocre sniper." Hua Ruiming threw out the eightfold mirror.

Qi Min picked it up automatically, but threw it to him again: "You don't need to find some in the house like this, there is no difference between the two of us using a sniper." ”

Hua Ruiming didn't say anything, and picked up the eight-fold mirror again. After a while, the circle was closed, and they were still in the circle. Looks like luck was good this time.

"Hey, what are you doing now?" Hua Ruiming asked suddenly.

"I'm at the airport...... Waiting for my boyfriend. Qi Min replied, "But it's early." ”

"Your boyfriend is coming to Beijing?" Hua Ruiming seemed to ask casually.

Isn't that obvious? Qi Min didn't know how to answer: "Yes." ”

"Why are you so late, and I want you to pick it up." Hua Ruiming said with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, if the boyfriend buys a ticket to arrive in the middle of the night and has to pick it up, the girl will probably feel a little unhappy when she hears it. But Anton and Mimi's tickets were bought by Qi Min, and she also knew that if she didn't pick them up, she would rush to Anton's situation of not being able to recognize Chinese characters, and it was estimated that she would not be able to find her home by relying on Google Translate and speaking to ask for directions. The subway stopped running in the middle of the night, and she had to pick up people at the airport, didn't she ask for it?

"There's no way, it's all here, you can't go back." Qi Min said half-jokingly, "There's a vehicle passing over here—don't shoot, let him pass." ”

——

Maybe it's because most of the teenagers who play on the weekend are Internet addicts, and Qi Min and Hua Ruiming are only in the top five. Both of them were shot in the head from a distance during the final lap, and it was obvious that the other was a master.

Because of the long time of this game, after the game, Qi Min looked at his watch and it was almost time for Anton and Mimi's flight to land, so he said: "It's time, I'll get off first." ”

"Well, I'll see you later." Hua Ruiming also said.

Then Qi Min got off the game, opened her email interface with the built-in email app on her phone, and read the SCIENCE news she subscribed to for a while.

After almost a while, Qi Min walked to the exit and waited, boringly flipped through the circle of friends, and after a while, he saw a group of people carrying large bags and small bags and dragging luggage come out of it.

Anton will probably not be the first to come down with Mimi. Qi Min waited patiently, and sure enough, after everyone had almost walked out, he saw a tall young man with black curly hair carrying a large hiking bag, holding a piece of powdery blue rice in his right hand, and pulling a huge piece of luggage in his left hand, and walked out of it with some difficulty.

Qi Min didn't expect him to bring such a large piece of luggage, it looked like he should have tied the largest suitcase with a full duffel bag. Sure enough, it's "not bad for those consignment money", this is not bad money, right?

Qi Min greeted him and said in surprise, "Why did you bring so many things?" ”

"Shhh Anton hurriedly lowered his voice in warning, glaring at her by the way.

Qi Min originally wanted to be an airport bus, but he could only take a taxi in this way.

She took the luggage that Anton dragged with his left hand, and then walked in the direction marked with the taxi stop, but was stopped by Anton: "Where to go?" Isn't there the subway? ”

The airport sign also had English on it, so he didn't have much trouble reading it.

"The subway has already gotten off work, we have to take a taxi back." Qi Min explained.

"How expensive is a taxi?" Anton hesitated.

"I can afford it." Qi Min said calmly, "Let's go, I'm sleepy." ”

As soon as the flight landed, there were still a lot of people waiting at the taxi stand. It just so happened that most of the passengers in this wave were returning to China, waiting for the bus home at the airport in the middle of the night, and they couldn't wait to chat.

So Mimi woke up after a while, and saw Qi Min very excitedly clamoring for her mother to hug her. Qi Min had to hug Mimi and let the little girl freely play with her hair braids.

"Mom, your hair has grown." Mimi said in English while playing with Qi Min's hair, "I'll braid your hair." ”

"Good...... Yes. Qi Min was dragged by her hair and touched the little girl's head a little reluctantly.

She saw Anton watching her and smiling. However, when he saw her looking at her, he put away his smile and continued to make a cold and distrustful appearance.

This detail made Qi Min realize that in fact, Anton was not as disappointed in her as he appeared.

After all, objectively speaking, people have to consider their own interests. From the point of view of evolutionary psychology and economics, Anton has already invested too much in her as a partner. Finally, when she had a project and applied for funds, she was finally able to produce positive output, and it would be too much of a loss to evacuate at this time.

And—Qi Min thought not without narcissism—could she be such an interesting and principled, gregarious and original Bolshevik who worked hard and lived happily, could she be denied because of a mistake?
