Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Recalling what I just did.

He Yuzhu felt that he was as cautious as a thief, which was really a bit ridiculous.

Then I thought that after I returned, I still wouldn’t have much time to spend with Zhou Xiaobai.

He couldn't help but sigh. He knew without guessing that she must be very sad, but she always pretended as if nothing had happened, which made him feel very distressed.

After reaching the first floor, He Yuzhu did not go back immediately, but left the community and took a taxi to Lou Xiao'e's villa in Xiangdao.

The original plan was to enter the country tonight and then take a bus back to Beijing.

However, this is not necessary. Taking a direct flight from Japan to Beijing is also an option.

First fly from Hong Kong to Japan, which takes more than three hours, and then take a flight from Japan back to Beijing. Including the waiting time, it only takes a dozen hours in total to get home.

This will save a lot of time to accompany Zhou Xiaobai.

However, there are many uncertainties.

Although the Red Country and Japan have established friendly diplomatic relations, there are currently no stable flight services between them.

I told Kana and Yukiko Nakamori that they could go home by plane in a few hours just to coax them.

In fact, in Japan, many people need to consult the airport about going to the Red Country, and the airport will specifically apply to the Red Country for flight permission to arrange such a special flight.

This type of flight is extremely unstable. It is not available every day. It is good enough to have one in a week.

Therefore, He Yuzhu decided to contact his friend Ye Shan in Japan and ask her to check whether there was any flight information at Edo Airport within 24 hours.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, it would be better if we could take off the next day.

In this way, as long as I plan the flight well, I can save a lot of time to accompany Zhou Xiaobai.

If there are no flights to Japan,

We have to find other ways.

There are still flights available in several major cities in the country.

For example, there are flights from Guangzhou to Beijing.

The distance from Hong Kong to Guangzhou is not far, only about four hours by car.

It doesn’t take too much time to fly from Guangzhou to Beijing.

Doing this will free up a lot of time.

But having said that, due to various restrictions, it is really troublesome to take a plane, and it is not as free and convenient as other routes.

However, no matter how complicated it is, if there is really no suitable flight in Japan,

In order to spend more time together,

The only option is to go to Yangcheng for transfer first.

Through a friend in Hong Kong, contacting Director Yang and then indirectly finding Auntie is the most direct way, but it is a bit of an exaggeration. He Yuzhu thought about it and felt that this was not appropriate. He was more inclined to ask Lao Guo for help.

Lao Guo has a lot of connections in Yangcheng, so there shouldn't be any problem if we take him along.

My only worry now is where Lao Guo is. I hope he is not in Beijing.

We soon arrived at the villa.

Although no one lives here, Aunt Wu still comes here often to clean, so it's always very clean.

He Yuzhu looked around and confirmed that Wu Ma was not there, then he went into the study. According to the previous arrangement, he called Ye Shan first.

It would be the easiest if there were direct flights from Japan to Beijing.

If you choose to go to Beijing from Guangzhou, whether you ask your aunt or Lao Guo for help, although it is not difficult to operate, there are too many units and departments involved.

Of course it would be best if this situation could be avoided.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there is another reason for doing this. When preparing to go to Japan, Director Yang asked him to be in charge of the coke oven construction work of the steel plant and asked him to bring back some design drawings of the coke oven. He originally planned to visit the coking plant there to learn.

However, once we got there, we were overwhelmed with things to do and ended up forgetting about it.

Later, when he was thinking about contacting his aunt through Director Yang to help deal with some matters, he suddenly remembered this matter.

Fortunately, we found that there are indeed direct flights from Japan to Beijing.

He Yuzhu planned to take advantage of this opportunity and ask Ye Shan to help contact relevant people during the transfer, and take a look at the most advanced coking plant in Japan, and also take back the design drawings. Because he remembered that the information mentioned that Shanhai Gang also invested in several coking plants, so it should not be difficult to obtain this information.

But if you are unlucky, there may be no suitable flight within 24 hours.

Then there is no need to make a special trip to Japan, and the factory visit will have to be shelved.

But even if we don't go to the site for inspection, we can make do by asking Ye Shan to help take a few photos and bring back a design draft via cargo ship.

Beep...beep.....

"Hello? Who is this...?"

It took a long time before someone answered the phone, and a gentle and pleasant voice came from the receiver.

The voice on the other end was familiar, obviously the same woman who had answered the phone before. Although he didn't know her name, they had spoken several times and were relatively familiar with each other.

He Yuzhu said straight to the point: "I am He Yuzhu. May I ask if Miss Ye Shan is home?"

"Hello, Mr. He."

The tone on the other end became formal and respectful, "Sister Shan is not at home at the moment, is there anything I can pass on for you?"

"It's nothing urgent, actually."

After thinking for a while, He Yuzhu said: "Do you know the contact information of Edo Airport?"

Now first we need to confirm whether there is a flight within the appropriate time period.

If there had been no flight, there would have been no point in discussing the subsequent visit to the coking plant.

"I'm sorry, I don't know this information at the moment, but I can help you find the relevant information, can I, Mr. He?"

Before she could finish her next action plan, He Yuzhu politely interrupted and said, "After you find their phone number, please ask them whether they have any flights to the capital of the Red Country in the last 24 hours and the number of flights. Then please call me and tell me, this is my current contact information..."

"Okay, Mr. He, please wait a moment. I will take care of this matter right away."

Rinko Matsubara memorized the number and hung up, then quickly called the service desk to get the details she needed.

Just finished all this,

Rinko Matsubara was about to call He Yuzhu to inform him of the result, but after a moment's hesitation, she decided to call another number.

Before this, Ye Shan had always lived in this manor.

Recently, she has been living outside and only comes over occasionally during the day.

She hardly came back in the past two days.

This situation made Rinko Matsubara wonder whether Ye Shan was in love. She was full of curiosity and wanted to know more.

But considering Ye Shan's usually cold attitude, he finally didn't dare to ask directly.

As you can imagine, if you really asked, you would probably just get a cold rebuke and be told to mind your own business.

Therefore, Matsubara Rinko just kept this curiosity to herself, and would not mention it to anyone else. If Ye Shan accidentally heard about it, she would definitely get into trouble.

Since she doesn't come back often, Ye Shan left her contact information in case of emergency.

Although He Yuzhu's call was not an emergency,

But because he is the representative of the red country, he is particularly special.

Now he is asking about flight information to the red country, and it is obvious that he is planning to fly back home.

After thinking about it, although she was puzzled as to why the other party still wanted to know these things even though he had already left, Rinko Matsubara still decided to inform Ye Shan about this matter.

……

Located in a traditional Japanese house surrounded by green trees,

Ye Shan was lying on the tatami, facing one side, with a dazed look in her eyes.

It has been two days since I stormed out of the house in a fit of emotion.

By this time her emotions had already calmed down.

I didn't meet that person, so I didn't know why he rejected me, and I didn't understand what would have happened if I hadn't been pushed away.

One thing was clear—the man was unwilling to accept it no matter what.

Even when he was in a state of complete honesty, he still chose to refuse.

This made Ye Shan feel very bitter, and her mood became cold.

At the same time, I also felt a little ridiculous. I knew that the other person didn't like me, but I still went forward with my own will...

Now, Ye Shan truly realized that she might have fallen in love with that person.

Otherwise, how could it be possible that I lost my appetite and felt listless all day long because of missing him?

Just thinking of his name makes my chest feel tight and powerless.

Especially when you are in the room,

This is the place where I once had close contact with that person and was seen completely by him.

Although I don't want to think about the past, those memories keep coming back and can't be shaken off.

At that time, I inexplicably wanted to stay here;

But now I long to escape and want to forget everything that happened.

But once this idea came up, I found it difficult to actually put it into practice.

Are there still some concerns and expectations in your heart?

Ye Shan couldn't find the answer to this question, but she really wanted to forget it all.

If there was a drug that could make the memory disappear, she would swallow it immediately;

If time could go back to the day they first met, she would choose to end everything right at the beginning.

In this way, it won't be so painful anymore, and at most it will cost you your life.

But the reality is that there is no room for assumptions. When faced with the cold facts, you find that you have fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with.

Thinking of him, missing his figure.

Recalling every little detail of their experiences.

But he was indifferent and ignored himself.

Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling...

The sudden ringing of the phone broke the silence, and the voice was unusually clear.

Ye Shan heard the voice and was in a sad mood, but had no intention of answering the call.
