Qi Xia is a pragmatist, and considering Chen Xifan's profession, she finally ordered a Prada polarized sunglasses.

Today, Chen Xifan was the earliest flight mission, leaving at 4 o'clock in the morning and leaving work at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

On the top floor of the Magaman apartment near the airport, the infinity pool is illuminated by the sunset from all directions. Chen Xifan swam 3,000 meters, and when he was over, he came up from the pool and pulled a bath towel and draped it over his shoulder.

His hair and muscles were dripping with water, and he shook it twice and went back to his apartment to change his clothes.

In the apartment, my grandfather Lin Wanjun was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window doing time-lapse photography, and when he heard the sound, he looked back at his grandson and said with a smile: "Are you back?" ”

"Hmm." Chen Xifan went into the house to take a shower, and when he came out, he changed into a light fleece sweater and gray trousers, and a black jacket was on his arm.

Chen Xifan picked up the car keys on the table and raised his chin: "Let's go?" Pick up my grandmother for dinner. ”

"Okay, let's go, she'll have to talk about me again when it's late."

drove all the way, and soon arrived at the East Sixth Ring Creative Park, and successfully received Lin Xuezhen, who had just finished inspecting the work.

A Huaiyang dish ordered for dinner, near the West Second Ring Road, which will be a bit congested, and two elderly people in the back seat are arguing.

"I said that you are really old enough to work hard, and you can't see anyone all day after you go home."

"I just like to be busy, and I don't accept old age." Lin Xuezhen cut her hair and said, "You do your photography, I do my work, and we don't delay each other." ”

"Yes, yes, I will fly to Inner Mongolia tomorrow to photograph the migration of migratory birds, and we will see you next week."

The two old men have been quarrelling all their lives, and their feelings have always been very good, and Chen Xifan is used to it.

With the steering wheel in his hand, he chatted with his grandmother: "Is the citrus star culture okay?" I heard that the above policy has changed recently, and it is not easy to get a book number. ”

"It doesn't have much impact on children's literature." Lin Xuezhen also likes to talk to her grandson about work, and she can't stop when she opens the conversation, "And Citrus Star is not in the domestic market, and it is still relatively easy for traditional Chinese and overseas, but the quality of manuscripts has declined, and good manuscripts have become fewer and fewer in recent years." ”

Chen Xifan asked, "What about the authors who worked with you before?" Don't write it? ”

"Most of them went to self-media." Lin Xuezhen said with emotion, "Times have changed, and now it is possible to let one's works be seen by the public without publishing, so Tang Xing took the trouble to do a trial reading meeting and dig out good works." ”

"How? Will this year's trial be rewarding? ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xuezhen's eyes lit up, "Yes, there is a work written very well this year, about the circumnavigation of a fish and a bird, which is interesting." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xifan's heart was shocked, a bird and a fish's trip around the world?

Some long-ago memories came flooding back in an instant.

Chen Xifan remembers that many years ago, he also saw a similar story setting, which was published in Q/Q space, and the author was student No. 7.

He has been out of touch with classmate No. 7 for a long time, the same story setting, the same children's literature, is it a coincidence?

Chen Xifan asked, "What is that work called?" ”

"Ocean Travel."

Chen Xifan's eyebrows stretched, and he felt that he was probably dizzy. Similar story settings are very common, and there are many of them on the Internet, and not only No. 7 students can come up with them.

Lin Xuezhen has a very high vision, and the works that can be praised by her are probably really well written.

Chen Xifan was inexplicably curious and said, "What is the author's name?" ”

"Huh? I didn't ask, but she's a pretty girl, so why did you suddenly become interested in children's literature? ”

Chen Xifan smiled indifferently: "I'm just curious, can I take a look at that work?" ”

"Okay, I'll talk to Liu Li tomorrow."

Liu Li is Lin Xuezhen's assistant and is responsible for everything she needs to do when she returns to China.

In any case, he became interested in this manuscript, which was praised by his grandmother, and Chen Xifan decided to find out.

After that, Chen Xifan was busy and busy all day long, and when he got busy, he forgot about it. Soon it was Friday, Chen Xifan's birthday.

On this day, Chen Xifan did not fly the mission, but participated in a safety management training.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China stipulates that captains must regularly attend safety management training and seminars to familiarize themselves with the new safety regulations. The training starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m.

Coming out of the conference room, Xiao Ying hugged Chen Xifan and said with a smile: "Happy birthday, Captain Chen." ”

Shiming Aviation humanistic care is in place, every birthday, will receive exclusive gifts and emails from the airline, Xiao Ying is too familiar with Chen Xifan, this kind of thing is difficult to know.

"How are you going to spend your birthday? I heard that your grandparents have returned to China, do you want to celebrate with them? ”

Chen Xifan said lazily: "The second elder is busy, so he has no time." ”

Xiao Ying frowned: "So miserable? How are you going to spend your birthday, back to your grandmother? ”

Chen Xifan said: "No, I have an appointment today." ”

After reacting for a moment, Xiao Ying smiled: "And that reporter girl?" By the way, where have you got? Do you need me to get another assist? ”

"Don't." Chen Xifan felt that this elder was not very reliable, "She is timid, and I am worried that you will scare people away." ”

"Tsk-" Xiao Ying teased, "It's so tightly protected." ”

Chen Xifan laughed in his voice, "It's not just the two of us, let's get together with our high school classmates, can we?" Coach Xiao? ”

"Me?" Xiao Ying waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't be your high school classmate at my age, and I have a special plane mission tomorrow morning, so I can't drink." ”

As the first of the three major domestic airlines, in addition to daily route operations, Shiming Aviation also undertakes special aircraft tasks such as international rescue team transportation and visits by national leaders.

The level of importance of this kind of mission is very high, and generally three days before the execution, the flight department will strictly restrict the daily personnel of personnel.

Chen Xifan didn't say anything more, and nodded: "The journey went smoothly, and I left." ”

Bidding farewell to his colleagues, Chen Xifan picked up the car in the underground garage and went to the computer research institute to pick up people.

Today, Qi Xia interviewed Yang Fu, and the two of them made an appointment in the morning to meet at the entrance of the research institute at six o'clock. Chen Xifan arrived fifteen minutes early, and after waiting for a while, a new message came from WeChat.

Qi Xia: [I'm sorry, I may have to be more than ten minutes later than expected, and I'm confirming some things with Mr. Yang's assistant. 】

Chen Xifan replied: [It's okay, take your time. 】

The beginning of spring has passed, the temperature has risen a little in the past few days, and the snow on the dead branches is melting, dripping with water.

Chen Xifan closed his eyes and rested for a while, and suddenly thought of the children's literature that Lin Xuezhen mentioned a few days ago.

He sent a message to his grandmother: [Is there an electronic version of "Ocean Travel"? Send me a look. 】

Lin Xuezhen should be busy and has not replied.

Chen Xifan didn't pay much attention to it, but when he thought of the "Ocean Travel", he was inexplicably anxious.

I was expecting something, but I was worried that it would be in vain. He sat in the gloomy car, with his arm on the steering wheel, and thought of classmate No. 7 for no reason.

Over the years, it is difficult to say what kind of existence the seventh student has been to him. But one thing is certain, Chen Xifan is curious about the identity of classmate No. 7.

Who was it that sold him a special 5-2003 stamp at the original price, sent him a dozen bad jokes on the day he was unhappy, and who returned the pocket watch that had been lost for more than a year?

He Xiao once said that student No. 7 is a living bodhisattva of the present generation.

This kind of saying is very apt, just do things and don't ask for them, not what a bodhisattva is.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the car window was knocked, Chen Xifan opened his eyes and saw Qi Xia's good-looking face outside the car window.

She wears a gray knitted skirt over a camel coat and a black beret. The hat covered most of her hair, and her face was delicate and beautiful.

The window was lowered, Qi Xia smiled, and his eyes bent into the shape of a crescent moon: "Sorry, have you waited for a long time?" ”

"It didn't take long, get in the car first."

The passenger door was opened, and the moment she sat down, the whole space was filled with a fresh and elegant gardenia aroma. The air conditioning in the car mixed with the smell of her body, which made people feel like bathed in the spring sun.

Sitting down and buckling his seat belt, Qi Xia took out a box from his bag and handed it to him, "Happy birthday." ”

"What is this?"

Chen Xifan took it and opened it and found that it was a pair of polarized sunglasses.

Qi Xia explained: "I heard from a friend that you pilots have strong ultraviolet rays in the cockpit, and you must wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, and I hope you can use them." ”

Very professional stuff, these sunglasses not only filter out glare, but also prevent stunting.

Chen Xifan said: "I like it very much, thank you. ”

Qi Xia's face was hot, "It's good if you like it." ”

The actual organizer of this birthday party is He Xiao, and the location is set in the apartment that Chen's grandmother gave to Chen Xifan when he was in high school. When they arrived at the place, Qi Xia and Chen Xifan went upstairs, and the moment they entered the house, Qi Xia was stunned.

Lots of acquaintances.

Xu Youfei, Xing Anya, and squad leader Wei Yupeng and others, Chu Yang was also there.

Qi Xia thought it would be like that day at Xu Youfei's house, she didn't know most of the people who came, but now she realized that she was wrong. More than half of the more than 10 people present were high school classmates.

Qi Xia was surprised: "Is it a high school reunion today?" ”

Chen Xifan chuckled: "This is to ask He Xiao." ”

When they entered the house, everyone seemed to be silent for a moment, and soon everyone came forward to greet them.

"Brother Fan is here? Hurry up, hurry up, it's waiting for you. ”

"Xia Xia, come over here."

……

This apartment is very large, in addition to the living room, balcony, there is also an area dedicated to computer gaming chairs, Chen Xifan said, in high school, they will play games here when they are free.

Dinner was buffet-style, the food was prepared and delivered in advance, and several chefs were on site to cook it.

As the protagonist of today's party, Chen Xifan was quickly surrounded, Qi Xia, Xu Youfei, and Xing Anya sat together, and everyone discussed who was undercover to play.

Qi Xia is not good at this game, she excused herself to be hungry, and took a plate of small cakes to the balcony to breathe, Chu Yang came over at this time.

I haven't seen him for many years, Chu Yang hasn't changed much, and he still has a pair of affectionate eyes. With a cigarette in his fingertips, he leaned on the balcony and called her: "Qi Xia, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Maybe it's because Chu Yang is the only one among her high school classmates who knows her secret, and Qi Xia doesn't have too many worries when she faces him.

Qi Xia turned around and smiled at her: "Well, it's been a long time, have you returned to China to develop?" ”

"No, I've settled in Australia and gone back to my country to deal with some family matters."

Qi Xia: "That's very good, I heard that the scenery in Australia is very good." ”

"I'll have a treat when I have time to come to Australia."
