Chapter 10
The side of the fence is a blind spot where the street lights illuminate. It is dark and blocked by two tall and sturdy poplar trees. It is almost impossible to find a car parked here.
Gu Chixi was sitting in the car, her well-defined face merged with the darkness. She stared at the house intently, her body motionless, like a sculpture without a soul.
Not long after the lights in the living room on the first floor came on, the lights in the master bedroom on the second floor also came on.
Two figures were projected on the curtains.
Gu Chixi suddenly held her breath, leaned forward slightly, and grabbed the steering wheel with one hand.
The lights are dim, and the shadows of the two sometimes overlap, sometimes overlap, and then separate. It is impossible to tell who is who. From a distance, they seem to be intimate.
Then, the curtains were drawn.
The figure in the room was instantly visible, the long-haired woman pushed the floor-to-ceiling door, walked to the balcony, and looked around. She is relatively tall, with long legs, long black hair that reaches her shoulders, and wears a camisole and hot pants.
Gu Chixi’s eyes sank slightly, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened.
Then Wen Ning also came out.
The two seemed to be chatting, Wen Ning raised her fingers and pointed in two directions, not knowing what to do, the woman kept nodding and smiling happily.
Then they went in together, closed the glass door, and drew the curtains.
The curtains are double-layered, with a layer of blackout cloth, which is not used during the day, and blocks the view of the room when sleeping at night. It is so tight that even the shadow cannot be seen.
Gu Chixi’s heart tightened.
After a while, the lights on the first floor went out.
After a while, the second floor was also plunged into darkness.
It was eleven o’clock at night.
The moonlight was hazy, insects were chirping in the grass, and there was an ear-stinging silence.
Gu Chixi let go of the steering wheel, leaned back in the chair, and closed his eyes. The darkness concealed the exhaustion between her brows, she exhaled gently, suppressing the boiling emotions in her heart.
The irritability lingers.
Many people and things were tumbling in her mind, intertwined into a mess, only when she thought of Wen Ning, she could relax. But this only ease was also lost, her heart was hanged, and her whole body was tense.
It sat like this until the early morning.
The waning moon gradually moved westward, and the silver sports car drove out of Tianhe Bay.
…
The next morning, a ray of light penetrated into the bedroom.
Wen Ning didn’t have the habit of sleeping late, but she was too tired from walking outside last night, she slept a little late, and it was past eight o’clock. She simply washed, changed into casual clothes and went downstairs.
There was a sound in the kitchen, Wen Ning followed and walked in, saw the person standing in front of the stove, and said with a smile, “The sun is coming out in the west.”
The woman turned around and raised her eyebrows: “Don’t you sleep a little more on weekends?”
This is He Yu, Wen Ning’s classmate and friend when she was training at the aviation school. The two have known each other for seven years.
She was wearing a camisole, with shoulder-length hair tied behind her head, her deep facial features revealed a wild beauty, her skin was wheatish, and a large dark blue butterfly was tattooed on her shoulders, which was lifelike.
“You know I’m used to getting up early.” Wen Ning smiled and flipped her hair, took two steps forward, and glanced at the steaming pot, “Wonton? I thought why did the boss cook me something delicious.”
“I don’t like it if I eat it, obviously this is the only thing I have left in the refrigerator.” He Yu raised her hand and gestured to smoke her.
Wen Ning knew that she would not really attack, so she didn’t hide, picked up the spoon and stirred the wontons in the stirring pot, poured a few drops of sesame oil into it, “It’s more fragrant.”
Her back is slightly bent, the low | wide collar and the mouth slumped forward, her skin is fair and white, the two rounded arcs are looming, and the crescent chain on her neck is swaying in the air.
He Yu glanced at it inadvertently, her eyes dimmed.
Cooking wontons is quick, two or three minutes. He Yu filled it with two bowls, and Wen Ning reached out to serve it, but she stopped her: “Be careful, I’ll come.”
She spread out her fingers, closed the edge of the bowl, and went out with one bowl in each hand.
“I’m not that squeamish.” Wen Ning said helplessly, then walked to the dining table and sat down.
He Yu turned on the fan and poked her forehead with her index finger, “In my heart, you are a petite princess, alright.”
“Meaty.”
“Who was the one who ran three kilometers at the aviation school and cried while running?”
“He Yu, I advise you to be kind.”
“Hahaha-”
No matter what they do, they have to play a few words.
Originally, Wen Ning University majored in design. In her sophomore year, Air Asia organized a recruitment interview. She participated with the mentality of trying it out, but she passed it all the way, signed a contract with the company, and was sent to the aviation school for training. .
Among those students, only she and He Yu were girls.
The days of training are very hard, in addition to learning theoretical knowledge, but also physical training. The 3,000-meter run is commonplace. The fixed rollers and the spiral ladder are like toys, and the body is often bruised.
He Yu is only one month older than Wen Ning, but like a big sister, she takes good care of her. The two agreed to meet at the company after graduation, but unfortunately He Yu failed to pass the license exam in the end, regrettably being grounded and missing out with Lantian.
Later, He Yu opened a restaurant, which ran well for a few years and became famous in Los Angeles.
After becoming financially free, He Yu began to travel everywhere. She just came back from Saipan the day before yesterday and asked Wen Ning out for dinner yesterday. The two asked to help their friends to play late, drank some wine, and went back a long way, so she simply stayed at Wen Ning for one night.
“Where are you going to go next?” Wen Ning scooped up a wonton and blew it.
He Yu said casually: “I haven’t thought about it yet, let’s take a break for two months.” She stared at Wen Ning’s slightly raised red lips, and asked, “Will you play with me?”
“No time, make money.”
“Why haven’t the wages been paid? How long have you been in arrears, and the boss is dead?” He Yu was upset and could say anything, very direct.
Wen Ning frowned subconsciously and whispered, “I changed the boss, don’t take the blame.”
Thinking of Gu Chixi, she felt a little stuck in her heart. She couldn’t bear to associate that person with “death”, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. But when she realized, the words had already been spoken.
For fear of being seen, he was busy covering up by eating wontons.
He Yu was keenly aware of it, and couldn’t help narrowing his eyes: “Tsk tsk tsk, okay, Ningzai, the female textile worker speaks for the capitalists?”
“Is there?” Wen Ning looked up calmly, “I’m just stating objective facts.”
“To explain is to cover up, and to cover up is to be true!”
“Stop it.”
He Yu snorted and lowered her head to eat wontons. She suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, I plan to open a new bar. What do you think of Les?”
“Cough cough cough…” Wen Ning coughed.
He Yu hurriedly got up and poured water for her, patted her on the back lightly, “Who robbed you, eating in such a hurry.”
“You’re a straight daughter… open les?” Wen Ning took a breath, her face flushed, and she looked at her in disbelief.
He Yu’s expression was a little unnatural when she heard the word “straight daughter”, she sat back and said in a joking tone, “It’s convenient to find someone for you, you’re already running three times, you’re still a single mother and child, and you haven’t even said it. People believe.”
Wen Ning was stunned for a moment, her eyelashes slowly drooped down, and her mood suddenly dropped: “I don’t want to fall in love for the time being.”
She half-closed her eyelids, stirring the wontons in the bowl with a spoon, the tiles collided and made a “ding ding” sound, stiff and mechanical, like an uncontrolled pendulum.
He Yu choked and stared at her in a daze, before she restrained her joking expression, “Why?”
Wen Ning lowered her head and said nothing.
“Could it be—” She squeezed the handle of the spoon tightly and asked hesitantly, “Do you have someone in your heart?”
Wen Ning raised her eyes and was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly shook her head: “No.” Then she pointed to her and her own bowl, “Eat it quickly, it’s going to be cold.”
“…”
After breakfast, Wen Ning drove He Yu back and took orders on the road.
The phone suddenly received a text message.
【Slept well last night? 】
Posted by Gu Chixi.
“?”
Wen Ning didn’t know why, so she replied:
【very good】
After thinking about it, she added another sentence: Thank you Mr. Gu for your concern.
There was no movement there.
Early Monday morning, the company issued a penalty notice.
Wan Siqi, a flight attendant of the second division of the cabin department, was reported to have stolen aircraft supplies. After investigation and verification, he was punished by downgrading and deduction of performance points, suspended for one month, and compensated for all losses.
When the news came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Everyone is discussing this on anonymous forums, some people say that stealing deserves it, some people say that the whistleblower is immoral, and the post is pushed to the front row in less than 24 hours.
Wan Siqi was not the only one who stole the machine offerings, and they would not report each other in order to safeguard their common interests. Those who were not caught were also panicked when the incident came out, for fear that the company would continue to investigate.
One night, many people lost sleep.
Wen Ning was busy working part-time and only learned the news the next day.
Today, she has a flight mission, from Luocheng to Z city, and then to Jiangcheng for the night. At noon, she went to the cafeteria to eat, and almost everyone was discussing what happened yesterday.
“Although stealing is wrong, it’s disgusting to report a colleague…”
“I’m sick of this whistleblowing system.”
“The machine offerings are not valuable, so I don’t want them for free. I didn’t expect someone to steal them.”
The voice at the next table was a bit loud, but Wen Ning could hear it clearly. She read the notice of punishment on her mobile phone, and then went to browse the forum, inexplicably had a bad premonition.
Not long ago, she took a class with Wan Siqi, and accidentally bumped into the other party taking the machine offering. She didn’t care too much, and she didn’t want to report her colleague. In addition, Wan Siqi said that she would not take it, so she didn’t report it.
Unexpectedly, the matter was stabbed by someone else.
Would Wan Siqi think that she was reporting behind her back?
Or, if it was found that she deliberately concealed and covered up, she must be jointly and severally responsible.
Wen Ning’s heart became more and more chaotic, and she couldn’t eat too much.
She came out of the cafeteria with an uneasy mood, and when she got on the plane in the afternoon, she forced herself not to think about this matter, not to speculate indiscriminately, so as not to be distracted and affect flight safety.
Luckily today, the first two flights went very smoothly. They took off on time and landed early. They arrived at Los Angeles Airport at 9:30 p.m. to prepare for the next flight to Jiangcheng.
The sky was dark, and the lights flickered like stars.
The tarmac was full of all kinds of noise, and the surface temperature was higher than elsewhere. This time the plane was parked at a far seat, some distance from the terminal building.
We had plenty of time to stop at the stop. Wen Ning and everyone sat in the back cabin to eat snacks and rest for a while.
“Captain, why don’t we order takeaway? T2 has a Mala Tang which is super delicious~”
“Yeah, I want to eat too.”
Wen Ning took a sip of coffee, and was about to speak when the chief purser said ruthlessly, “You forgot that Mr. Gu wants to sit for this section? Malatang has such a great taste, it’s too slow to eat, and it’s too late.”
“what-”
“Mr. Gu is also true, why don’t we take the business jet, we’ve been tired all day, and we have to be energized at night, alas.”
Several girls muttered in disappointment.
Wen Ning listened to them absent-mindedly, feeling more and more bitter the coffee in her mouth, and her chest was congested.
She guessed that Gu Chixi should know that she was flying this class and wanted to sit on purpose, but it was only a guess, without any basis, and thinking too much would only add to her troubles. In case that person has to check the work incidentally, at least she has to deal with it seriously.
After a short rest, everyone started to work on their own.
Wen Ning put on the fluorescent vest, went down with a flashlight, and was about to go around the machine for inspection. As soon as her feet touched the ground, a VIP car drove over and stopped about two meters away from the gangway.
The door opened and Gu Chixi came down.
White sleeveless vest, gray-blue cloth hip skirt, pointed high-heeled shoes, skinny, tall, and a classic ladies watch on the wrist.
The two met their eyes.
Wen Ning was stunned, and said hello calmly, “President Gu.”
Gu Chixi looked at her with deep eyes, then turned her head and said to Tan Jia who got off the bus, “You go up first.”
“it is good.”
Looking back, Wen Ning was already walking towards the tail of the aircraft with the flashlight in her hand. In sight was her back, shrouded in orange lights. The uniform shirt was close to the waistline, and the straight trousers and slender legs made her look colder and more lonely.
“Captain Wen.”
The back stopped and turned around hesitantly.
The corners of Gu Chixi’s lips raised a faint smile, and walked over slowly.
