Chapter 49
A week before departure, Xu Can suddenly received news that the flight was cancelled.
She was stunned for half a second, checked other recent itineraries, and immediately rebooked a ticket for two days later.
After Xu Can booked the air ticket, he remembered that the day there was a weekday afternoon.
If you change the time suddenly, if you still need to pick up the plane, will it affect Tong Mingyue’s own affairs? Should we talk about the pick-up?
“…”
Xu Can struggled for two days and felt that he should not say anything.
Originally, I wanted to go to Oxford to hide it from her first, but I couldn’t hide it, so let’s take advantage of the temporary cancellation of the flight to make a surprise.
In fact, she just wanted to see that unexpected dazed expression on Tong Mingyue’s face.
ten hours of flight.
Xu Can pulled two boarding boxes, followed the crowd and walked out slowly, going through customs. She was a little nervous, holding a bag with all the important documents in her hand, so she didn’t bother to look at her phone, and stood in line silently.
She was obviously going abroad for the first time, and no one of her relatives even knew that she had come overseas alone.
But not afraid.
It’s just that the world switched to English is a little strange and tense.
More than half an hour later, when he left the airport, Xu Can went to the McDonald’s next to him to buy lunch.
Sit down and connect to the store’s network before checking your phone’s messages.
More than ten hours of flight mode.
I received a few messages from good friends, as well as concern and greetings from some seniors and sisters. Before Xu Can slipped down, he caught a glimpse of the four messages sent by Tong Mingyue, and quickly clicked in to read:
Tong Mingyue: [I just checked your flight information and found that it was cancelled. Did you get a reminder? ]
Tong Mingyue: [Rebooked a few tickets. ]
Eight hours passed.
Tong Mingyue: [Are you already on the plane? ]
Tong Mingyue: [Tell me which airport so I can pick you up. ]
Xu Can: “…”
Holding the phone, she smiled sweetly for a few seconds, her eyes were bent into slits, she typed and said: [Don’t you have to be busy with work today? I can Uber. ]
react.
Did she know anything about this?
She reluctantly took a big bite of the hamburger and chewed it with a bulging face, but she couldn’t help laughing. By the way, return peace to your friends.
Before all the answers were finished, Tong Mingyue asked her which airport she was at.
—
Xu Can sat in the McDonald’s, drank the last sip of coffee, and picked up the plate. Throw away things and put them back in their designated places.
Stand up and prepare to wait for her at the intersection ahead of time.
Just in time to see several taxis driving back and forth. When he moved his position, a familiar figure came out behind him.
Is it coming soon?
Xu Can immediately pulled the suitcase and trotted out. My heart is nervous and full of joy.
She carefully avoided people, and just a few steps away, Tong Mingyue just happened to see her. She brushed her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, and when she looked at each other, her eyes curved, and she immediately smiled.
Xu Can’s shyness completely melted away in her smile.
She let go of the two suitcases, rushed over, and hugged her directly with open arms.
“…”
Tong Mingyue’s body froze slightly.
Soon, he put his hand around her waist and said softly, “Why didn’t you tell me about the flight change in advance? Are you afraid of being alone?”
“What am I afraid of…”
Xu Can hugged her contentedly, with an indescribable sense of security. Smell the familiar faint fragrance on her shirt.
The words suddenly changed to muttering, “But I want to be more sensible.”
“Are you sensible?” Tong Mingyue smiled and separated.
Go and hold both boxes beside her, “The car is parked over there.”
“Why help me get…”
Xu Can reached out to get it back, but she glanced at it and asked, “Didn’t you say you want to be obedient?”
“It’s sensible.” Xu Can said with certainty.
She stubbornly took her box back, carelessly, and grabbed the back of her hand.
“…”
In just a short moment, with the delicate and soft touch, Xu Can was not very good at speaking again.
Tong Mingyue asked, “Have you decided where to live?”
“…Stay in the dormitory.”
“Is it not possible to move in now?”
Xu Can said: “The date for applying for a dormitory hasn’t come yet.”
But don’t worry, the college she applied to guarantees that every student has a dormitory to live in.
Open the door.
Sitting in, Xu Can’s nose smelled something vague, like a kind of medicine pill. The smell was very mild, but she was so familiar with it that she could smell it.
Subconsciously looking at the storage box, the transparent empty water cup has a light brown color floating.
She doesn’t usually drink coffee, and she doesn’t even use this portable cup for brewing.
“What’s wrong with you, are you sick?”
Tong Mingyue just buckled her seat belt, she was slightly startled when she heard the words, and said with a smile, “No.”
Xu Can did not miss her hesitant expression and pursed her lips.
Suddenly leaning over, reaching out to touch her forehead, it was really hot.
“…”
Xu Can’s lips pursed into a seam, but he didn’t speak, and his heart suddenly became angry and anxious. She was so angry that she was doing something inexplicably, so she was sick and had to drive to pick her up.
Can’t speak for a while.
“…”
Tong Mingyue looked at her expression, turned sideways, and helped her fasten her seat belt.
Helplessly smiled: “Okay, I told a little lie… don’t you need to be so angry?” A tone that was specially coaxing her.
Xu Can: “…”
She was silent, unable to speak. After a while, he asked: “How many degrees did it burn? Is it serious? Do I need to go to the hospital?”
“The recent temperature is a bit difficult to figure out. I didn’t wear the right clothes, and it’s just a little low-grade fever.”
Tong Mingyue looked ahead and said with a smile on her lips, “Where are you taking you now?”
“your home.”
“…”
Xu Can blurted out, wrinkled his nose, and said very naturally, “Supervise you to take medicine and sleep. Then I’ll go back to the hotel.”
“…”
In the evening, pale yellow light shone through the clouds, and the clouds piled up in the sky were blurred and dyed in different colors by the glow of the sunset. Quiet inside the car, traffic outside.
After a while, Tong Mingyue replied softly, “Okay then.”
—
Tong Mingyue took her to her home. She is renting an apartment not far off campus.
Xu Can entered the door and found that the furnishings and layout were completely different from the previous home, but the style was still very similar. Open kitchen, small bar. The furniture is in very atmospheric colors.
“Is there a thermometer?”
“No.”
“It’s okay, I have it.”
Xu Can put down the suitcase and opened it, and pulled out a small box, which was full of various commonly used medicines and Band-Aid thermometers. Before going abroad, go to the pharmacy to prepare things specially.
“Didn’t you say low-grade fever?” Xu Can handed her the thermometer, angrily, “You know without measuring it?”
Tong Mingyue chuckled and took it silently.
After taking the temperature, it is really just a low fever.
Xu Can breathed a sigh of relief, but still said a little unhappily: “The kind of granules you drink in the car can only deal with colds.”
Tong Mingyue smiled when she heard the words: “Do you still know what I drink?”
Xu Can took out a box of granules from the medicine box and shook it wordlessly. Say with your eyes: Who are you looking down on?
Tong Mingyue: “…”
Well, she really knows.
Seeing that she only has two suitcases, it seems that there is everything in it. Tong Mingyue asked curiously, “What did you bring?”
“It’s the documents and clothes that you have to bring.”
Xu Can opened the zipper on the interlayer, took out a bag, and remembered, “By the way, I also brought a lot of tea.”
Tong Mingyue chuckled.
Xu Can: “?”
Xu Can: “What’s wrong?”
Obviously he is a person who does not drink tea, but when he goes abroad, he carries a large bag of tea with him.
Tong Mingyue bent her lips, looked at her condescendingly, and said softly, “It’s nothing, it just feels cute.”
Xu Can pursed his lips when he heard the words, snorted and said, “I brought it for you.”
She put the big bag of tea on her small bar and muttered, “Although I don’t know what you have to bribe…”
“…”
Tong Mingyue smiled unexpectedly, picked up the bag of tea and flipped through it, the corners of her lips curved.
“Have you taken any other medicine before?” Xu Can squatted in front of the suitcase and looked up at her, “Or granules.”
“there is none left.”
Xu Can, like a little doctor, asked about the symptoms one by one, and then took out the box of antipyretics and opened it.
“Is there warm water?”
Tong Mingyue tilted her eyes, put down the tea leaves, and said softly, “There are probably only cold water and ice water at home.”
“…”
After a few seconds, Xu Can gritted his teeth and asked, “Do you still dare to drink ice water when you know you have a low-grade fever? Will this help reduce the fever?”
“However,” Tong Mingyue was like a erring elementary school student, who was easily tired and vulnerable when she was ill. He lowered his eyes and said, “…It’s a little troublesome to boil water here.”
A slightly embarrassed tone.
Xu Can: “…”
Her heart was pounding, did she think it was too fierce just now? To actually murder her, he is really too much!
Xu Can said, “I’ll burn it.” She hurriedly walked into the kitchen.
After looking around, she didn’t see anything that would allow her to boil water, but there was actually a large frying pan.
Xu Can picked up the pot in disbelief, turned his face, and asked her seriously, “Don’t you think it’s a thing for boiling water, so you feel troublesome?”
Tong Mingyue: “…”
Finally, Xu Can boiled a cup of warm water for her with the coffee machine that came with her apartment.
Under her supervision, Tong Mingyue obediently ate the rest of the medicine.
“You go to sleep for a while, I’ll see what’s in the refrigerator, will I call you after making dinner?” Xu Can stared at her, saw her pale face, and said with great guilt, “I shouldn’t let you come here. pick me up.”
Tong Mingyue: “…”
After a while, she pulled out a helpless smile: “Okay, I’m obedient.”
“Don’t make such an expression.”
Xu Can’s heart was slightly bumped, and he didn’t speak.
She went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to see what ingredients were there. There are many surprises, and dinner is not difficult to make.
—
After half an hour.
Xu Can took a glass of warm water, entered the room, and went to wake her up.
Tong Mingyue was already awake, or not asleep at all.
“Will you accompany me to the supermarket later?”
Xu Can put the water delivery lightly on the bedside, took out his mobile phone and said, “I have to check the hotel check-in time first…”
The voice did not fall.
Tong Mingyue held her wrist.
“…”
Xu Can looked up at her.
Her long eyelashes were half-drooped, she didn’t wear glasses, her eyes were pure and elegant, and her pupils flowed like a lagoon reflecting the moonlight. The face has a gentle and delicate beauty, and the eyes are a little lost.
His long dark hair spread out on the gray pillow, making his face even whiter.
White, slender hands stretched out from under the quilt and held her wrists.
The temperature and touch from the skin made Xu Can’s heart skip a beat.
“Are you still leaving?” Tong Mingyue pursed her lower lip slightly, her voice hoarse, and asked very softly, “Can you cancel the hotel reservation?”
