Chapter 73: Gate 73

Chapter Seventy Three
As the New Year approached, the flight schedule became more and more busy. It was not until the night before New Year’s Eve that Ruan Sixian had time to move.
In fact, there is nothing to move. Fu Mingyu has everything upstairs. She only needs to move her clothes and daily necessities.
She opened Fu Mingyu's wardrobe and saw two cupboards full of white shirts. She almost thought she was in the men's clothing store.
"No, why do you buy so many identical shirts?"
Ruan Sixian held the phone on his shoulder and flipped through it, but he couldn't see the difference between these clothes. "Can you wear it alone?"
On the other side of the phone, Fu Mingyu flipped through the files in his hand, looked at the cumbersome data, frowned, but said casually, "Isn't there you there?"
"Am I out of clothes or—"
Ruan Sixian was halfway through, and suddenly realized what he meant, his face flushed, and gritted his teeth and said, "Fu Mingyu, I'm not you, I don't have so many weird habits."
Fu Mingyu smiled a little in his voice, "Then do you satisfy my hobby?"
"Did you not wake up at noon? The dream is pretty beautiful."
Ruan Sixian broadcasted her clothes indiscriminately twice and changed the subject, "You have so many clothes, where do I put my clothes?"
Someone came in the office, Fu Mingyu smiled, and said sternly: "There is a cloakroom next to the study, which is empty."
Fu Mingyu quickly signed the words and pushed the documents to the table. At the same time, he said, "Let the marketing department summarize the seat placement plans for all routes in spring."
"it is good."
After the person walked out, Fu Mingyu put down his pen, loosened his cuffs, leaned on the chair with his mobile phone, flipped through the schedule on the table, and saw the densely packed meeting arrangements and the mountain of work plans in front of him, his brows floated up. Helpless tiredness.
Sometimes I envy people like Yan'an.
After Ruan Sixian hung up the phone, it took less than an hour to organize her clothes.
Only half of such a large cloakroom was requisitioned by her, and it seemed that the whole house was empty.
When she went to the living room, she threw herself into the big sofa and lay flat staring at the ceiling chandelier. Suddenly remembering something, she got up and ran to the study room, opened the door, and saw the full of airplane models inside. .
Alas, no, she cannot live here until Fu Mingyu returns.
His shadow is everywhere, especially this study room, as soon as he walks in, even the air seems to have his breath.
Can I live a good life like this?
Half an hour later, the cloakroom that she had just arranged was half empty in an instant.
She moved back all her usual clothes.
That night, more than half of the shops on the street were closed, many companies also had holidays in advance, and there were few takeaway options.
On the contrary, it is probably only the railway station and the airport that reached the busy peak at this time.
Si Xiaozhen rushed to Ruan Sixian's house on shifts at night, and the two planned to have a New Year's Eve dinner in advance.
"Why just order this?"
Si Xiaozhen opened the refrigerator and saw the pitiful variety in it. In an instant, there was no kitchen utensils left. "The cabbage is not fresh."
"Don't pick it." Ruan Sixian opened the freezer layer and took out two boxes of quick-frozen dumplings. "The farmer is not a young man? The vegetables in the supermarket are all sold out."
Tomorrow New Year’s Eve, Si Xiaozhen will be on a night shift, it is impossible to go home to eat New Year’s Eve dinner, while Ruan Sixian is used to the New Year alone.
"I'm a single dog." Si Xiaozhen said while laying down dumplings, "You who have a boyfriend also spend the New Year alone. That would be too pitiful."
"It's a fuss, you go to see how many non-single air attendants are not at home for the New Year in the whole country today, and it seems like I am alone."
Ruan Sixian stepped on his feet, holding the bowls and chopsticks, and sternly said: "Which year is not like this. Every New Year's Eve, I send others home. Good luck. I can fly back and forth in this field. I can go home and watch the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala. You can only eat instant noodles in hotels out of town."
She put the dishes and chopsticks by the stove and whispered: "And I also like to spend Chinese New Year with my colleagues in the hotel."
Otherwise, just watch the Spring Festival Gala alone at home.
Si Xiaozhen looked back at her, "But you..."
Without speaking, Ruan Sixian's cell phone rang suddenly, and her eyes lit up and she immediately wiped her hands and ran out.
The phone vibrated on the coffee table in the living room, her hand came before her eyes, and her finger had already opened the answer button, only to notice that the caller ID was not Fu Mingyu.
My heart sank suddenly.
"Ruan Ruan, my aunt is coming over to have New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night, are you coming?"
Before Ruan Sixian could answer, Dong Xian said: "I heard that Fu Mingyu is now in Singapore."
"Not coming." Ruan Sixian walked to the window, answered the phone, and raised his hand to press the window grille that was not firmly posted, "I will not be in Jiangcheng tomorrow."
On the other side of the phone, Dong Xian sighed.
"Okay, then you pay attention to safety."
"Who?"
Si Xiaozhen poked his head out from the kitchen, "Your boss?"
Ruan Sixian raised her eyebrows, and Si Xiaozhen drew back with a frown, "Eh... sour, it seems that tomorrow I will be the only one in the world to celebrate the New Year alone."
"Used to it."
Ruan Sixian walked into the kitchen without a smile and brought the dumplings out, but because of Si Xiaozhen's words, she had expectations in her heart.
Maybe.
Just in case!
The next morning, when Ruan Sixian went out, the doors were closed on the road, and the traffic flow was reduced by more than half. Only when he got on the airport expressway, the cars were more visible to the naked eye.
People come and go in the terminal building and rush to their hometown.
As with every usual flight, the plane landed in Lincheng on time at about two o'clock.
Two hours later, he took off again and returned to Jiangcheng.
When Ruan Sixian walked out of the cockpit, Ni Tong happened to be sending away the last guest.
"Walk slowly, please bring your belongings and wish you a happy new year."
When the visitor's figure faded away, Ni Tong immediately changed his face and was busy getting his own things.
"Go home and go home! If you don't go back, you won't even be able to grab a red envelope for the Spring Festival Gala!"
Ruan Sixian looked up and saw that the sky was already dark, but there was snow on the ground at the scene, dancing in the beam of the navigation light.
Even the snow is here to add atmosphere to New Year's Eve.
The captain, flight attendant, and security guard were rubbing their hands. When going down the stairs, they wanted to take three steps and take two steps to go home quickly.
"The captain sends a red envelope!"
Ni Tong dragged the flight box with a look of joy, "For the last flight this year, look good!"
After she finished speaking, the others followed suit.
The captain smiled and took out his cell phone, "Fafafa! New Year's Day!"
A few minutes later, the cell phones of the entire crew rang.
Ruan Sixian regained his senses, and immediately took out his mobile phone to take a look, but the captain pulled a small group and sent two big red envelopes inside.
"Ugh……"
She received the red envelope, quit the group chat, and looked at Fu Mingyu's dialog box.
The last chat between the two remained on the message she sent him when she landed at noon.
Ruan Sixian poked the screen hard.
Is it that busy? !
She opened the circle of friends again, and everyone was very active today. The series of slides were all for the New Year's Eve dinner.
They also saw Zheng Youan’s New Year’s Eve dinner.
No one is in the mirror, but the European-style long dining table is equipped with water and land, and the color alone makes people salivate.
It seems that the whole world is reuniting, and she is the only one going home to eat frozen dumplings.
After getting off the crew car and walking a few steps into the terminal building, the snow floating on his face was very cold, and the group of people walked quickly pulling the flight box.
Ruan Sixian wrapped her scarf tightly, revealing only a small part of her face.
I don't know if it's incompatible with the excitement of the people around her that caused her to still have a feeling of vain footsteps, and she always feels that she has not stepped on the ground.
Along the way, Ruan Sixian looked at the phone several times.
The steady stream of New Year greetings has already pushed Fu Mingyu's dialog box to the bottom.
She had planned to put him on top, but after thinking about it, she gave it up.
After a few steps, the phone rang again.
Ruan Sixian took a deep breath.
OK, Fu Mingyu, I will give you one last chance.
If you don't send me any messages, just go fall in love with work.
Take out the phone and have a look.
Very good, it was news from Zheng Youan.
[Zheng Youan]: Are you really not coming to eat?
[Zheng Youan]: Anyway, Fu Mingyu is not in the country. What year are you spending alone? Come on.
[Ruan Sixian]: I wish you a new year, I wish you a big red envelope.
The boarding reminder announcements in the terminal building continued one after another, and there were noises of children all around. Several people who were about to miss the plane ran fast with their suitcases, and the wheels rolled on the floor.
Although noisy, it reveals the excitement of going home.
The phone rang a few more times, Ruan Sixian didn't take it out again, just wanted to go home to eat and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Ruan Sixian walked fast step by step with the sound in his ears suddenly near and far away.
Suddenly, she saw the front exit, a figure familiar from the back.
She stopped and blinked, making sure she was not dazzled.
It's not.
She couldn't be more familiar with that figure.
Ruan Sixian choked her voice and ran forward, pulling the flight box.
The distance is getting closer and the back is getting clearer.
Ruan Sixian's heart was beating, and the pace was getting faster and faster.
The smelly man, without saying a word all afternoon, turned out to come back quietly.
However, at a place less than two meters away from the back, Ruan Sixian made an emergency brake and staggered a few steps, almost unable to stand firmly.
Because the man turned his head.
The moment he saw his face clearly, Ruan Sixian's hanging heart sank to the bottom.
She stood there blankly.
No, how can anyone in this world look like this?
You can connect directly with Fu Mingyu's back.
The man also saw Ruan Sixian, saw her look weird, and looked at her with his eyes down.
Ruan Sixian felt embarrassed, touched her hair, pretended that nothing happened, and continued walking forward blankly.
However, when I passed him by, I suddenly heard him say: "Miss Ruan?"
Ruan Sixian paused, her eyes puzzled.
"you……"
The man smiled suddenly, tilted his head towards her, motioned her to look back.
Ruan Sixian's heartbeat speeded up again, her fingers tightened on the lever, and slowly turned her head back.
The lights in the terminal building are brightly lit, his white shirt is not tied, his coat is casually draped over his arm, his other hand is in his pocket, and he stands erect. The travelers rushing around him seem to be blurred. Only his figure is exceptionally clear.
Ruan Sixian's eyes didn't blink, and the sound of her heartbeat was amplified, ringing like a drum in her ears.
Fu Mingyu tilted his head, "Why, dazzled? Don't even know his boyfriend?"
Hearing his voice, Ruan Sixian suddenly felt his feet, as if it was only at this moment that she really landed.
"Why are you back?"
Fu Mingyu walked a few steps forward, handed over the jacket, Ruan Sixian subconsciously caught it, and then he held the other hand.
He took Ruan Sixian's flight box and said, "Don't you come back and let you celebrate the New Year alone?"
At the same time, Fu Mingyu turned Ruan Sixian around, lifted her chin forward, and gave her a look.
"Brother."
Ruan Sixian: "Brother?"
Fu Chengyu walked slowly over, looked at Ruan Sixian and Fu Mingyu, and smiled, "It's really time for you to come back."
Ruan Sixian hadn't recovered yet, Fu Mingyu had already glanced at his watch and said, "There is not much time. I will go to eat the New Year's Eve dinner first. How about you?"
Fu Chengyu pointed towards the back. Several foreign middle-aged men were still there, and then looked at Ruan Sixian, "I will meet again next time, and I won't disturb you today."
Ruan Sixian still felt a little unreal until he returned home.
Fu Mingyu went directly into the kitchen, but Ruan Sixian didn't even change his clothes, so he followed in.
"Why didn't you move up?"
Ruan Sixian did not answer, she stood behind Fu Mingyu and poked him on the back.
"Have you been on the plane today?"
Fu Mingyu opened the refrigerator, scanned it, and tried to find some fresh ingredients.
"Otherwise? There is nothing in the refrigerator. What are you eating tonight?"
Ruan Sixian looked at him from behind, "There are dumplings, when will you go back? Don't you need to accompany your parents? And your brother is back."
"My dad is in the U.S., my mom is going to accompany her. As for my brother, do you think he wants to eat with us?" He bent down, opened the frozen layer, frowned, "Just eat this?"
After speaking, he smiled relieved again.
There are quite a few types.
Good, convenient and fast.
Ruan Sixian: "The supermarket is empty. You haven't said when you will return to Singapore."
Fu Mingyu took out a box of dumplings and walked towards the cabinet.
"Wait a minute."
This kind of answer made Ruan Sixian feel a little anxious, and immediately asked, "When is it waiting?"
Fu Mingyu slowly rolled up his sleeves and made preparations.
"Two hours later."
Ruan Sixian opened her mouth, the blood all over her body was warming up, and at the same time a sour feeling surged in her heart.
After a long silence, she hugged Fu Mingyu from behind.
During the Spring Festival in the years when she was in college, every time she was invited by her classmates to spend the New Year at home. She didn't want to trouble her classmates, so she refused. Later, I spent almost all of my work in the hotel every New Year's Eve.
"Actually you don't have to be so tired, I'm used to it."
The water boiled, Fu Mingyu threw the dumplings in, and said lightly: "Then you can get rid of this habit."
Ruan Sixian leaned her head on Fu Mingyu's back, the sound of boiling water in her ears, and the rustling snow outside the window.
She held Fu Mingyu with her hands very tight, her knuckles faintly white.
Tonight's lights are shining, and finally one lamp is lit for her.
Early the next morning.
[Si Xiaozhen]: Fuck? Really come back?
[Bian Xuan]: Didn't you have hallucinations?
[Ruan Sixian]: Yes, I have hallucinations. Then you come and wash the unwashed dishes in my house.
[Si Xiaozhen]: I cried for the love of the rich. I also want someone to take a plane for more than ten hours and come back to accompany me for a New Year's Eve dinner.
[Si Xiaozhen]: It's still a private jet, woo woo woo.
[Bian Xuan]: Okay, this wave is not a loss.
[Si Xiaozhen]: Xuan, now you know the choice?
[Bian Xuan]: What?
[Si Xiaozhen]: Didn't you say that a college student and the boss of a financial company are chasing you at the same time, it is difficult to choose?
[Si Xiaozhen]: A 20-year-old young male college student who can simply ride you on a bicycle, and a 35-year-old president who lives in a villa and drove a luxury car. Which one? Do you know now?
[Bian Xuan]: Hey, I don't like villas and luxury cars, but I think the number 35 looks more pleasing to the eye.
Ruan Sixian looked at their conversation, smiled twice, and got on the plane without replying.
She knew that Fu Mingyu was really busy. After eating dinner last night, he was sitting on the sofa and his phone kept ringing.
At 12 o'clock, Fu Mingyu put on his coat and rushed to the airport again.
No wonder Bian Xuan and Si Xiaozhen were surprised. When she woke up this morning, she thought that she had a dream last night.
If it weren't for the dishes in the kitchen sink that didn't have time to wash.
But after that, it was really difficult for Fu Mingyu to squeeze time to return to China. Even Valentine's Day had a whole day of meetings.
But a diamond bracelet was delivered to her by the assistant.
In addition to work, Ruan Sixian has to prepare for the f3 (third-stage co-pilot) test three months later. The complicated theoretical test and abnormal simulator operation are enough to occupy all her rest time.
Seeing them like this, Bian Xuan once asked her cautiously: "You have not seen your boyfriend for so long, so you can rest assured that he is abroad alone?"
"Is it because you can't take care of yourself or something?"
Ruan Sixian said casually, "Fuck you don't worry, what's wrong with me."
"You know what I didn't mean." Bian Xuan bumped her shoulder, "You don't know if your boyfriend can recruit people?"
Ruan Sixian was eating, chewed twice, and suddenly laughed.
"It's his recent state. If he has free time and can't wait to sleep in bed for three days and three nights, if he really has the energy to do something behind me, I admire him."
She gave a thumbs up, "It's okay for this physical fitness to live longer than the bastard."
The protagonist was all gagging, naturally Bian Xuan stopped talking, staring at a table next to the boy who always aimed at them, lowered his head and smiled, "You are not a worry, is your family rest assured?"
Ruan Sixian glanced at the guy who looked like a student in a sweatshirt and snorted, "Mr. Fu is very confident now."
After speaking, she lowered her head and sighed silently.
Time really flies so slowly.
On May Day, the holiday was busy. She flew for four consecutive days and the flight time reached the upper limit, but the next two days of rest were arranged for f3 exams.
However, on the morning of the exam, I was told that the exam had to be moved because the instructor couldn't queue up.
The plan was caught off guard and was disrupted, Ruan Sixian was still a little confused on the way home.
I was confused and a little happy.
There was still time in the morning. She went home and simply packed up her things. After checking the time, she was able to watch a recently released movie that she wanted to watch but didn't have time to watch.
It was less than nine o'clock, and the movie was only lined up in the VIP room, and it was the first show in the entire movie theater. When she clicked in, even half of the tickets had already been sold.
The weather in May is already hot, and there are only a few long sleeves left in the spring clothes in the closet.
It is rare for Ruan Sixian to wear a skirt to go out. When he arrived at the entrance of the cinema, they had just opened the door.
After collecting the ticket, before the time was up, she bought a bucket of popcorn and sat outside waiting.
Since the cinema was almost empty, she was very conspicuous sitting there alone.
Within a few minutes, a pair of sneakers appeared before my eyes.
Ruan Sixian raised her head for a moment in a daze.
"Senior, coincidence."
Xie Yu took the movie ticket and looked around. When she found that Ruan Sixian was alone, she was a little surprised. He took out the movie ticket and took a look, "You are also watching this movie?"
"Yes." Ruan Sixian nodded, "Are you alone?"
"Well, just came out of the laboratory, that..." He took the bottle of mineral water and confirmed again that there was no one beside Ruan Sixian, "Why are you alone?"
A girl, not a single girl, watching a movie in the early morning is really weird.
Did you break up? ?
At this time, the ticket inspector reminded that the movie was about to begin. Ruan Sixian stood up and walked towards the theater, saying: "My boyfriend is abroad."
Xie Yu nodded and walked into the cinema with Ruan Sixian, saying nothing along the way.
There were advertisements in the cinema. Although there was no one, Ruan Sixian habitually bowed his waist and found his seat.
After sitting down, she looked up and met Xie Yu next to her.
"You sit here too?"
Xie Yu bent over, before sitting down, glanced at the ticket in his hand, and made sure that he had found the wrong position.
"What a coincidence."
Ruan Sixian nodded and said nothing.
Until halfway through the movie, Xie Yu suddenly remembered something, "Will you go back to school for the September celebration?"
"Huh?" Ruan Sixian swallowed the popcorn in his mouth. "What did you say?"
Xie Yu moved closer, "September celebration, have you forgotten? This year is the 110th anniversary."
"I really forgot." Ruan Sixian asked, "what's the matter?"
"Nothing, ask if you are going, but I guess you are not free."
Ruan Sixian laughed and said in a low voice: "I don't know if I am free, after all, I am not a fixed day from 9 to 5."
In the back row of the auditorium, Yan An straightened the back of the seat, twisted his neck, and suddenly stopped his eyes.
He patted Zheng Youan, who was sleepy next to him.
"Wake up."
Zheng Youan waved his hand and moved a little aside.
Yan'an patted her twice again, "Look at the one in front is Ruan Sixian?"
In a daze, Zheng Youan only noticed the words "Ruan Sixian". She opened her eyes and said lazily: "Brother Yanan, you are still in front of me at this time, right?"
"No." Yan An pointed towards the front, "Do you think that is her?"
Zheng Youan sat up slowly and looked at the direction of his fingers.
"what?"
Before noon, Fu Mingyu had time to take out his phone and take a look.
Two hours ago, Yan'an sent him a few messages.
One of them is a dark picture in a movie theater.
[Yan'an]: Is this your girlfriend?
[Yan'an]: Brother, I'm looking at you, do you want to wash your hair and see if the water has some color?
Fu Mingyu opened the photo and glanced at it, then put the phone aside.
Singapore is close to the equator and has a tropical rainforest climate. It has long summers and no winters throughout the year. May to July is the hottest month of the year. It is hot and humid, making it irritating.
After lunch, Fu Mingyu picked up the phone again, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows.
If he remembers correctly, Ruan Sixian should be taking the exam this morning.
But the person in the photo is indeed her, and the man next to him is not shallow.
However, at this point in time, his girlfriend has not sent him a message.
Fu Mingyu returned to the office, leaned back on the chair, and forwarded the photo to Ruan Sixian.
[Fu Mingyu]: My sister, my brother changed very quickly.
Two minutes later.
[Ruan Sixian]:? ? ?
[Ruan Sixian]:! ! !
[Ruan Sixian]: Heaven is a reincarnation!
Fu Mingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the pen moved between his fingers.
[Fu Mingyu]: Oh?
[Ruan Sixian]: I said that I was so coincidental with him. I bought a ticket and bought a seat next door. Do you believe it?
At this moment, Bai Yang brought in two boxes of medicine.
"Mr. Fu." Boyang looked down at the instructions and said, "Doctor Leonard has changed your medicine. This dose is heavier."
He put the medicine on Fu Mingyu's table, "You take it now?"
Fu Mingyu lifted his chin, "Let's put it on first."
[Fu Mingyu]: It's a coincidence. I have never had such a coincidence with you.
[Ruan Sixian]:...
[Ruan Sixian]: Are you sure there is nothing more coincidental than this?
[Ruan Sixian]: Do you need me to remember it for you?
[Ruan Sixian]: Huh?
Ruan Sixian was obviously following his usual tone.
The memories of London a few years ago were almost completely blurred. When she mentioned this, Fu Mingyu snorted softly.
[Fu Mingyu]: I don't want to remember.
He glanced at the medicine on the table.
[Fu Mingyu]: I feel a little uncomfortable now, and my head still aches.
After waiting for ten minutes, the other party did not reply, and Fu Mingyu had already sat in the conference room.
After a long and boring meeting for an entire afternoon, the clock was pointing to seven, but the poisonous sun did not mean to leave work, still arrogantly exposing the city.
"Mr. Fu, haven't taken the medicine yet?"
Boyang asked while looking at the pill box that had not been opened.
Fu Mingyu opened his eyes, picked up the pill box, poured two pills, and ate them with water.
At the same time, he glanced at the phone, Ruan Sixian still did not reply to the message.
Fu Mingyu put down the cup, frowned, and said: "Ask about the domestic f3 exam today."
Boyang said yes, and when he was about to go out, he turned around and asked: "It's about the overall situation, but the individual situation?"
Fu Mingyu raised his eyebrows.
Boyang: "Oh, I see."
After Boyang left, Fu Mingyu stood up, picked up his jacket, and walked out of the office immediately.
Back at the hotel, Boyang called.
"Because there were not enough instructors this morning, part of the first officer's f3 test was moved to next week."
"Ok."
Fu Mingyu hung up the phone, loosened his bow tie, and looked down at the phone again.
There is still no reply to the message.
After staring at the screen for a few seconds, Fu Mingyu suddenly pulled off his bow tie and threw it on the sofa.
He sat on the sofa and closed his eyes for a while, but found that his mood was getting worse.
When I closed my eyes, her face was in front of me.
Dangling in my mind, but unable to grasp and touch.
He opened his eyes, lit a cigarette, and dialed the phone.
Ruan Sixian picked it up quickly.
Fu Mingyu crossed his legs, staring at the setting sun outside the window, "Answer the phone but don't reply?"
"Oh." Ruan Sixian said on the other end of the phone, "because I don't know words."
Fu Mingyu was silent for a moment, squinted his eyes, and his voice became a little dumb, "Ruan--"
"Open the door."
The voice on the other end of the phone interrupted him suddenly.
