"However, some airlines will require that they not be allowed to drive during training, after all, the operating principle and instrument are different, which is easy to confuse."

Qi Xia said: "Then what do you think is the difference between flying a plane and driving?" ”

Chen Xifan glanced at her and smiled faintly, "Reporter Qi is interviewing me?" ”

"Sort of."

Chen Xifan thought about it seriously, "Probably...... Driving will feel that the speed is a little small, in fact, it is a professional habit, today my partner co-pilot, he drove and did not allow others to open the window. ”

Qi Xia thought of some interesting things and said, "I know this kind of professional habit!" I interviewed a kindergarten teacher before, and she saw that everyone was called baby, and our photographer's big brother had a red face that day. ”

"Do you also interview kindergarten teachers for your tech magazines?"

Qi Xia explained: "Yes, the kindergarten introduced a batch of intelligent robots, and I went to interview users to experience them. In fact, in our industry, we have a wide range of interviewees, including aerospace, military, and the Internet. ”

Along the way, Qi Xia looked for a topic, and the two talked about a lot of interesting things at work, and later talked about Qi Lanjing.

Chen Xifan: "I heard my grandmother say that Aunt Qi resigned a few years ago? ”

"Yes, she remarried and returned to Lancheng, and now she has a stable job and a happy family."

"That's fine."

While chatting, Qi Xia suddenly felt that his heart was empty.

In high school, she envied those people who could talk and laugh with Chen Xifan, such as He Xiao and Chu Yang, such as Xu Youfei, and even she was very envious of Shen Tang.

They are always confident and equal in front of Chen Xifan, but at that time, she was always looking up to Chen Xifan, and she stammered as soon as she spoke to Chen Xifan.

After so many years, Qi Xia found that he could also talk and laugh with him like everyone else.

Why?

Is it because time has passed, has it been put down a long time ago?

Qi Xia didn't know, but felt a little melancholy, and his chest tingled subtly as if something was missing.

Qi Xia sighed softly and comforted herself, saying that all the secrets were buried in that summer, and there was no ending, which was also a kind of luck.

She shouldn't have thought about it anymore.

The car shuttled in the neon, the light was reflected on her face through the glass, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, Qi Xia hung her head slightly, and didn't speak again.

Chen Xifan's afterglow swept over her, but somehow, she was silent.

Unconsciously, the objects in front of him gradually became familiar, and the black DBX stopped at the gate of the community in Banchunli, and Qi Xia said, "This is it." ”

She pushed the door and got out of the car, and Chen Xifan followed, opened the trunk and retrieved her luggage.

Just after the rainstorm took away the heat, the green leaves fluttered in the wind, and there were night runners passing by them.

In the dim light, two long shadows fell to the ground, overlapping each other, like reluctant lovers.

Qi Xia looked up and saw the man with his back to the light, his face hidden in the night, she smiled and said, "I'm here, thank you today, if you have the opportunity, please eat, bye." ”

With that, she pulled on the trunk lever, turned around and walked away.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard Chen Xifan's voice coming over.

"Qi Xia—"

Thinking that there was something else going on, Qi Xia turned his head, his expression a little confused, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Xifan grabbed his pocket with one hand and strode towards her.

There happened to be a car driving on the opposite side, and the light fell on his face, reflecting his bright features. The man bowed his head slightly, and there was a bit of a more genuine taste in his eyes.

Chen Xifan bowed slightly, touched his neck, and asked, "What day?" ”

Qi Xia didn't react, "Huh? What day? ”

"Aren't you going to invite me to dinner?" Chen Xifan's eyes were raised, shining, and he confirmed to her seriously: "Which day, please?" ”

“……”

Qi Xia was stunned.

Her phrase "I have a chance to invite you to dinner" just now was obviously polite, couldn't he hear it?

However, there are more than 40 kilometers from the airport to the Banchunli community, which is indeed quite far, and people have come all the way to see her back, and it is impossible to say that she is not invited.

After work, Qi Xia dislikes to owe favors the most.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll have to rush the manuscript tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, hmm...... What about you, when are you free? ”

"Not necessarily." Chen Xifan said, took out a black mobile phone from his pocket, lit up the screen and called up the WeChat QR code, and half-lifted it: "Add a WeChat, tell me when you are free." ”

*

Banchunli is an old neighborhood, a house from the sixties and seventies of the last century, a six-story building without an elevator. However, the greenery is very good, most of the people living in the community are elderly, and the environment is quiet and the price is acceptable.

Qi Xia rented a one-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor, she went to the fourth floor first, knocked on the door of Xing Anya's house, gave her the special products brought from Huahai City, thanked her, and took Qi Yuan and the cake home.

The one-bedroom house is not big, but Qi Xia has cleaned it carefully and is very tidy, after entering the house, Qi Xia wanted to pack her luggage, but the cake missed her too much, nestled in her chest and meowed, sticking out his tongue and licking her chin.

"Alright, don't make a fuss." Qi Xia sat on the sofa and smoothed it.

Qi Yuan is eighteen this year, the little girl has grown into a big girl, and the two sisters are tall and thin, but Qi Xia's skin is fairer and more delicate than Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan had a strange energy on his body, looked around the house, and sat down, "Sister, isn't this house very expensive?" ”

"It's okay, the main area is small, and it's within my tolerance."

Qi Yuan: "I see that there is only one bed in the room, so where do I sleep?" ”

Qi Xia: "You sleep with me." ”

"Ahh ”

"Then you sleep on the couch."

After Qi Xia finished speaking, he went to the bathroom with the cake to bathe the little guy, Qi Yuan followed and asked, "Sister, will you develop in Beijing in the future?" ”

Qi Xia poured water on the cake, "It should be, I'm quite satisfied with my current job." ”

"That's good, when I graduate from college and work, we will save money to buy a house together, so we will have a home in Beijing."

Of course, Qi Xia planned these things, and her goal was to get promoted and raise her salary to buy a house, and she would have some savings after working for three years, but the housing prices in Beijing were high, and she had to save for a few more years before the down payment.

When bathing the cake, Qi Yuan chatted with her next to her: "Sister, are your company's colleagues easy to get along with?" ”

"It's good."

"I heard Sister Anya say yesterday that there is a boy in their unit chasing her, what about you? Are there any boys in your magazine chasing you? ”

Qi Xia was a little speechless, and glanced at her: "Don't worry about you kid, study hard." ”

Qi Yuan didn't relent, "Sister, tell me the truth, do you have a boyfriend?" ”

“……”

Qi Xia didn't know how she came to the conclusion, and she didn't bother to explain.

But the more she avoided talking about it, the more Qi Yuan became more energetic, saying, "I just went downstairs to throw out the garbage, and I saw it all!" ”

"What do you see?"

Qi Yuan put his hands on his thin waist, and said chiseledly: "A handsome guy will send you back and help you with your luggage." ”

Qi Xia's action of bathing the cake suddenly stopped, and his heart "banged".

"Who is he? My future brother-in-law? ”

Chapter 31

Qi Xia denied it quickly, as if a second of delay was a blasphemy against that person, "No, he was my high school classmate, and he met me at the airport to give me a ride." ”

"Really?" Qi Yuannunu's mouth seemed to be a little disappointed, "But he looks so good, like a movie star, sister, don't you have any other ideas?" ”

For a long time, Qi Xia didn't make a sound, the water flow of the shower head was soft and warm, she squeezed a handful of cat shower gel, frothy and smeared it on the cake, and remembered something.

In 2018, when he just graduated from college, Qi Xia did not work at Science Times, but entered a well-known newspaper in Beijing through school recruitment. As a newborn calf, she plunged headlong into the ideal of journalism with full of enthusiasm.

Soon, reality dealt her a painful blow.

Qi Xia was assigned to the social news line, and new reporters were paid low salaries and pressured, and often needed to be on call 24 hours a day, which was acceptable, but the chaotic small group struggle within the group and the work standards of the self-media era where traffic was king often made Qi Xia doubt himself and doubt the value of this job.

The most impressive time, she sent the manuscript to the master for review, and the content of the manuscript was fine, but the master felt that the title was not explosive, so he helped her change it to one with a few different meanings, saying that this can attract users to click.

During that time, Qi Xia was very confused, and later her body could not support it, and she was hospitalized with pneumonia for half a month, and she resigned after being discharged from the hospital.

When she resigned, her master told her six words: let go of idealism.

Later in his career, Qi Xia saw many things and many people, and gradually developed a set of guidelines for dealing with things, restraining himself and not forcing others.

From a certain point of view, Chen Xifan is not a kind of idealism.

Like him, if you blush and heart 10,000 times, you will be bitter 20,000 times.

Qi Xia understands that when she likes him and pursues him, those sourness and grievances are self-inflicted, and she doesn't blame anyone.

It's just that she is no longer a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and she no longer has the courage to run to him with such wishful thinking.

The branches of the world are destined to ride their own streams.

Thinking of this, Qi Xia said while bathing the cake, "Do you know who he is?" ”

Qi Yuan: "Who?" ”

"My aunt used to work as a nurse at Grandma Chen's house, and he is Grandma Chen's grandson."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan was also choked.

Before, on Yizhou Island, Qi Yuan heard from the adults that the family of Grandma Chen, who was taken care of by her aunt, was amazing, and she couldn't understand many words, but anyway, she came to the following conclusions:

If you are rich and powerful, you can't think about it, let alone mess with it.

Qi Yuan said stupidly: "Oh, I'll say it casually." ”

In order to facilitate work, Chen Xifan bought an apartment near the capital airport when he graduated and joined Shiming Airlines, and it usually takes more than ten minutes to drive from work.
