Chapter 39: Two Parallel Lines
Five years later. A plane landed at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. This is the first time that Yu Yang has set foot on the territory of the motherland since leaving. His mood was a little excited for the first time in a long time, and a little inexplicably solemn.
He is now the vice president of the company, and this time he is here for a project in Shanghai. China has grown rapidly over the years, and this year the company began to focus on market expansion. Before coming, the secretary had arranged all the itinerary, and when he showed it to him, he hesitated, and then said to the secretary to add two more days to the itinerary, and the rest of the matter was postponed first.
He didn't tell Qin Xue that the next two days' itinerary was a private matter, because Qin Xue's first reaction was still very sensitive when he knew that his destination was Shanghai.
"To Shanghai? How many days is it going to go? Hearing that Yu Yang's business trip was destined for Shanghai, Qin Xue was inexplicably a little uneasy.
"Five days for the first and last days."
As soon as Yu Yang returned to China, it was five days, Qin Xue felt that it was difficult for her to be calm, she thought about it, and then said, "Oh, it's so good, why don't I ask for leave to go with you?" It's been a long time since I've been back to China. ”
"You can be busy with your peace of mind, I'm going to work, and I don't have time to play with you." Yu Yang subconsciously refused, and when he saw that she was unhappy, he coaxed again: "Next time, okay?" ”
"That's settled, we'll go back together next time." In fact, after saying that, she also knew that her request just now was a little abrupt, but it was an instinctive reaction.
"Well, you go to bed early, I'll go back first."
"Aren't you staying tonight?"
"I set off early the day after tomorrow, it's been a busy two days, and I have to go back to work overtime."
"Oh, then I'll wait for you to come back, remember to miss me."
"Okay."
After saying "good night", Qin Xue stepped forward to hug him again, with a reluctant expression.
"Go to sleep." Yu Yang patted her on the shoulder and turned to leave.
She was still vaguely uneasy when she saw him leaving, although she didn't know what she was worried about, he was already hers. But he also knew that more often than not, he was here with her, and how much his heart was there was that he couldn't force it.
Over the years, in order to pay off his father's debts, pay off his father's medical expenses, and earn a good life for his parents in the United States, Yu Yang has worked hard, many times his plane has transferred across the country, but he has no time to stay. This time, he was finally able to return to the embrace of his homeland, and when he stepped out of the airport, he felt a familiar and familiar taste.
But as soon as he got off the plane, all the time was still occupied by work, and only late at night did he have time to look up at the Huangpu River and the lights of the city downstairs. Over the years, he had watched the city lights from the upper floors of his office countless times, and for the first time he felt so close to those lights.
As for what will be arranged for the remaining two days, he hasn't really figured it out yet. The debts of his father's company have long been paid off, but now he feels a little strange about what happened to his father's company back then, so he has to take the opportunity to investigate.
In addition, it is his own selfishness. It had been more than eight years since he left this familiar place, and he missed the land where he grew up, his friends, and the one who had never left his memory. Thinking of this, he hesitated to take out a calling card from his bag, which he used when he was at G University.
This calling card has been reissued for so many years, and he has never dared to use it, but he has never let it be interrupted. When he plugged in the phone number and restarted the machine, he was dazzled by the overwhelming number of missed calls and texts.
Watching Xiaojing send out one message after another, he could feel how painful and desperate her heart was at that time. Looking at them, his heart hurt as if it was being Ling Chi, and he was already unconscious in the back.
He had planned to just see her from afar, and he knew that he was no longer qualified to disturb her peaceful life, but now he only had impulses left in his mind.
He took out his mobile phone and unplugged the number that he was once no longer familiar with, but even a brief moment of connection made him so nervous that he couldn't breathe.
"Sorry, the phone number you dialed is empty...... "The voice was not familiar, but it was an incredulous response.
He took his phone and got it right again and again, no mistake, he couldn't be wrong, even though so many years had passed, he still remembered every number clearly.
He unappetly pulled it again, but it was still empty. He was stunned for a long time, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, maybe she completely forgot about herself and started a new life, but why was her heart still frustrated?
He clearly remembered that when her mobile phone was bought by him, the mobile phone number was carefully selected by him, and the tail number was 520, I love you, she had promised herself that she would not forget the number......
"It's a good number to remember. I immediately carried it. Xiaojing looked at the number and said proudly.
"No, I picked it carefully. Then I ask you, what is the last three digits? ”
"520Ahh
"I love you too."
"Hmph, you're so annoying." Xiaojing pretended to be angry, and patted Yu Yang with her hand.
"You think, every time I call you after that, I'm telling you I love you. And when you call me, I can also feel you say to me, I love you. Isn't it super romantic? ”
"Narcissistic guy." Although Xiaojing said this, her heart was still full of sweetness.
"You are not allowed to change your number without my consent."
"Got it......"
These memories once again stirred his calm heart, and he couldn't say why, after so many years, those bits and pieces were still in the depths of his memory, so clear.
He thought that after so many years, he would be able to face the past calmly and calmly, but today he realized that those past were still his invisible pain. If he is like this, then he is even more afraid of her, maybe he owes her an apology, an explanation.
The more he thought about it, the more impatient he became. Early the next morning, he hurried to the airport. While he was going through security, he received a phone call. One of his major customer companies in the United States had a problem and needed him to rush back to deal with it immediately.
When he bought his ticket to the United States again, he walked through the airport with two tickets in his hand and a little lost, it was so close, but he couldn't go any further. Maybe this is providence, some things will pass when they have passed, and their own appearance may only add to their troubles, so that's fine.
On the other side of the airport, a couple was hugging, and the boy was talking to the girl's ear, only to see the girl laughing and whispering: "Well, I know." Rest assured! After speaking, he took her hand and motioned him to go back, and the boy reluctantly waved goodbye.
The ticket in the girl's hand has a name written on it in both Chinese and English: Lu Xiaojing. Xiaojing took her luggage and went to the domestic security checkpoint, and in the hall not far away, Yu Yang was pushing the box to the security checkpoint of the international flight.
After a while, two planes flew in the sky, one to the United States and the other to G City.
When Xiaojing sat down, she found that the plane was empty only next to her, but she could not have imagined that the passenger of 18B was on the plane to the United States.
They are like two parallel lines, as if they are very close, but in fact they are very far away. Hopefully, the two parallel lines will meet one day.
