"Professionalism, Knowledge, Flying Technique and Responsibility." Chen Xifan's answer was fluent.

Xiao Ying nodded his chin with satisfaction, "You have been carrying the first three bars for a long time, and you have been reciting them well, but I want to tell you that the fourth bar is much more difficult and heavy than the first three, and in any case in the future, you must have the courage to take responsibility, be responsible for the passengers and crew, and for countless families." ”

Chen Xifan's eyes were firm: "I will." ”

After that night, Chen Xifan rested for a few days and officially began his career as a captain.

The profession of pilot, which may seem glamorous to outsiders, is actually hectic and boring. I get up at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, and I don't necessarily get home at 10 o'clock in the evening, and my life circle is narrow, and I can't contact anyone except my colleagues.

But the moment he sat in the cab, Chen Xifan was still excited.

Through the wheelhouse, the details of the map come to life, across the mountains, touching the skyline, and facing the stars, nothing is longer far away.

It is as if walking alone in the blue sky, and there is an illusion of flying through time.

Again and again he flew and landed, and he never tires of it.

On this day, he flew the fourth section in line, and the last flight flew back to Beijing from Yangcheng. Taking off at half past ten, I received a notice from the controller on the way that there was a thunderstorm in Beijing and that the flight plan must be adjusted immediately.

Chen Xifan quickly made a decision to divert to the nearest Qinjiang airport.

After landing, he and the crew took a car to the hotel where the airline company cooperated to rest.

Because of the sudden rainstorm, the entrance of the airport hotel is still brightly lit late at night, and the guests are continuous. After getting out of the car, Chen Xifan gave his luggage to the co-pilot, planning to go to the convenience shop.

He was not used to staying in hotels, and in order to sleep better, he was used to wearing a kind of steam goggle.

As the rain became heavier, Chen Xifan walked over with an umbrella and walked over unhurriedly, and when he arrived at the door, he noticed a girl sitting at the long table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Very young, wearing a bright knitted shirt, a silver pleated skirt underneath, and her long hair was combed behind her ears into a low ponytail, which was full of light, and her skin was extraordinarily white.

She kept her head down, struggling with the rice ball, her fingers carved from ivory, slender and white.

Such beautiful fingers, in memory...... He seemed to have seen it.

At first, Chen Xifan didn't care, he put the umbrella in the white plastic basket and pushed the door to enter. There was a "ding" in his ears to welcome him, and for some reason, his gaze was a little uncontrollable, and he glanced at the girl.

At this time, the girl seemed to feel something, and looked back tacitly.

With just one glance, he paused.

More memories revived from the depths of his brain, the floodgates of time opened, and a tide poured in on him.

Scene by scene, frame by frame, like a movie rewind in slow motion in front of your eyes.

Chen Xifan received them all, and found that the scene that impressed him the most was when they returned to Baita Lane together in the summer when they graduated many years ago.

He said goodbye as usual, and she stopped him and solemnly introduced her name.

That night, he didn't really know why, he just felt that there were tears in her eyes, but he couldn't bear it.

Chen Xifan also remembered that that night, his chest trembled inexplicably.

It's strange that at that time, it felt like a helpless pen and scribbling to end a story.

And he subconsciously thought that he should add four more words to the end of the story - to be continued.

Chen Xifan walked towards her and called out her name with unmistakable accuracy:

"Qi Xia, long time no see."

And after losing his mind for a short time, Qi Xia also recognized him, "Chen Xifan, long time no see." ”

Qi Xia's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his smile was gentle.

She stood up, although she still had a sense of unreality dreaming, but her face was generous and playful: "Do you remember me? ”

Qi Xia had made the worst assumptions, maybe when they met again, Chen Xifan didn't remember who she was, after all, in the years of high school, she was small and bleak, and she really had no sense of existence.

Chen Xifan looked at her, his expression was a little solemn, "Your name is Qi Xia, dark Qi, summer Xia." ”

Then he added: "I always remember you. ”

This sentence successfully made Qi Xia stunned.

She looked at the four bars on Chen Xifan's shoulders and a straight uniform, and asked with a smile: "Are you all captains now?" ”

"Well, I'm currently working at Shiming Aviation." Chen Xifan said, pulled out the high stool for her, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

The late-night convenience shop was silent, just right for catching up, although they ...... There is nothing to talk about, but perhaps this is also part of Chen Xifan's upbringing, and it would be too rude for old classmates to meet and leave without saying something.

Besides, Qi Xia was also very curious, how did he become a pilot again?

Qi Xia sat in her original position, and Chen Xifan pulled out a stool next to her and sat down as well. The two of them accidentally looked at each other, and they both read a familiar taste in each other's eyes.

Yes, in their junior year of high school, they spent Christmas together at a convenience store.

Qi Xia didn't mention the old things, and asked, "Didn't you go abroad at that time?" Studying aircraft engineering at Cambridge, how did you become a pilot again? ”

She took a bite of the rice ball as she spoke, not caring too much about the image because she was really hungry.

Chen Xifan said: "In my sophomore year, there was an opportunity for Cambridge and Beijing Airlines to cooperate in a program to recruit pilots. ”

"Can I understand it as a major change?" Qi Xia asked.

Chen Xifan was a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows: "You actually know about the big change, you can understand it so much." ”

"So, you've been flying at World Famous Aviation for three years?"

Chen Xifan: "In four years, the university in the UK graduated with a bachelor's degree in three years. ”

Qi Xia nodded, "Oh, then you graduated earlier than us." ”

"Yes."

It turned out that after he had returned to China for so long, Qi Xia couldn't help but sigh that she had taken so many times on a famous Air plane after work, but she had not encountered a single ......

While she was pondering, she heard Chen Xifan ask, "What about you?" ”

"Me?" Qi Xia was a little surprised that Chen Xifan would be interested in her situation, and said: "Now I am a reporter at Science Times, and I just came back from a business trip in Huahai City. ”

Chen Xifan nodded, "I've heard of the top scientific magazines in China, you took flight 0915 today?" ”

"That's right."

When the words fell, Qi Xia's mobile phone suddenly vibrated twice, the screen lit up, and she glanced at it and found that it was a text message from the aviation company.

The text message said that due to the heavy rain, the flight was diverted to Qinjiang, and other flights had been arranged for the passengers of AH0915, and they could check in at the airport tomorrow afternoon and take flight AH0714 to Beijing.

It is all too common for airlines to adjust flights, and in general, either the original aircraft is out of order, or the company wants to consolidate passenger flows to save resources.

Qi Xia murmured: "0714......"

"My flight." Chen Xifan said loudly.

Qi Xia raised his eyes, subconsciously looked at him, and didn't speak for a while.

Doesn't that mean that she is going to take the plane driven by Chen Xifan tomorrow?

Seeing that she didn't react, the corners of Chen Xifan's lips hooked slightly, and he let out a low smile, "Classmate Qi Xia, my skills are not bad, you don't have to be so afraid." ”

"Uh...... Sorry, I didn't mean to doubt your technique. Qi Xia apologized for her faux pas, empathy, some people questioned her professional ability as a reporter, and Qi Xia would also be uncomfortable.

Chen Xifan didn't take it to heart, and said lazily: "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver you safely." ”

It wasn't early, there was no one else but them, and there were a few customers in front of the hotel.

"Back to the hotel?"

"Let's go."

The rain had already subsided, and the two took umbrellas at the door and walked back to the hotel lobby.

While waiting for the elevator, Chen Xifan asked, "What floor do you live on?" ”

"The seventh floor."

After waiting for a minute, the elevator arrived, Chen Xifan blocked the elevator door with his arm to let her go in, and after entering, he helped her press the number seven, and then pressed twelve.

It was very quiet in the elevator, Qi Xia glanced at him quietly, and always felt that this person was the same as before, thoughtful and educated, but he felt ...... Where is the difference.

When the elevator reached the seventh floor, Chen Xifan stepped forward to hold the elevator door for her, Qi Xia walked out, looked back, and said, "I'm back to the room, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."

After returning to the room, Gan Yao hadn't slept yet, sitting on the bed and watching dramas.

Seeing Qi Xia, Gan Yao took off her headphones, "Why have you been there for so long?" I'll be back a few minutes later, and I'll be out looking for you. ”

"It's okay, I met someone and we chatted a few words."

Gan Yao asked, "Who?" ”

Qi Xia: "High school classmates. ”

"Oh, by the way, where's your aunt's towel? Where did you buy it? ”

Qi Xia suddenly, yes, what did she go out to buy? She patted her head, feeling stupid.

Qi Xia was about to go out again, but the hotel room service was thorough, and after Gan Yao called to explain the situation, someone immediately sent it.

Lying on the bed after washing, Qi Xia was still wondering, was everything tonight a dream? Will he wake up and disappear again.

*

In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Xifan and the crew had a cooperation meeting and went to the tarmac from the internal passage to conduct a pre-flight inspection as usual.

Everyone did their part and got the job done quickly.

After boarding the plane, Chen Xifan said to all the crew members as usual: "Let me know as soon as possible if there is any situation on the plane, I will make the decision, and I will take full responsibility for the decision I make." ”

Everyone replied in unison: "Clearly." ”

It's almost time to board and the crew is back to work.

Chen Xifan entered the cab and listened to the co-pilot Wang Peng: "Brother Fan, the flow control of the tower, the take-off time is expected to be thirty minutes late." ”

There is no way to deal with flow control, Chen Xifan nodded: "I know." ”

Wang Peng is 23 years old and has been in the airline for two years, and Chen Xifan has partnered with him several times, and the tacit understanding is good.

Wang Peng took out his mobile phone and said, "I sent a message to my mother, telling her that the flight is expected to be half an hour late, so she won't have to worry about it." ”

"Your mom is on our flight?"

Wang Peng grinned, "Yes, it's a coincidence, isn't it?" My mom knew that I was happy to be in the driver's seat on this flight, and of course she would be happier if I could be in the driver's seat. ”
