The Rationalist's Marriage

Qiu Yuening came to Sydney once. At that time, it caught up with the local summer and there were more tourists. Now that the southern hemisphere has entered winter, the sun is not too cold, but it is much cooler than Wencheng in summer.

It was just after noon when he arrived, and Qiu Yuening slept in the hotel until late in the evening, then came out alone, walked around, and had dinner by the way.

The place where I live is not far from the Opera House, but he went to that landmark building last time, and he didn’t leave a deep impression. This time, I don’t plan to revisit for no reason. I just want to visit a few more shops and buy some Bring something back.The health care products and skin care products here are quite popular. Qiu Yuecheng told him to buy more lanolin the day before.

Today, on Thursday, most shopping malls closed late, and the lights lit up the bustling city.Besides his mother and sister, Qiu Yuening also wanted to choose a gift for Ding Ye, preferably something special.

But he didn't know what the other party liked, so he wandered between different shops in a daze until he passed the window of a shopping mall.There are some gem artifacts on display.

Qiu Yuening remembered that Ding Ye used to wear brooches, and there were many brooches with unique shapes among these jewel ornaments.

He walked into the store, and soon locked on to the one he saw in the window—simple geometric lines with a deep blue gemstone embedded in it.He instinctively felt that this piece best suited Ding Ye's temperament.

"Please," he said to the clerk, "may I have a look at this brooch?"

"Of course." Apart from introducing him to the materials of the accessories, the clerk didn't say a word, and waited patiently for his decision.

In fact, Qiu Yuening didn't hesitate too much, the price was a little expensive, but it was within the range he could afford, so he asked the clerk to wrap it up for him.

"Xiaoqiu." After paying, Qiu Yuening suddenly heard someone calling him, and turned around to see that it was Captain Peng.He was one of the two captains of the trip.

"Captain Peng," Qiu Yuening greeted him, "Are you here to buy things too?"

"Well," he weighed the bag in his hand, "I bought a necklace for my mother."

"Sir, your brooch," the clerk handed the item to Qiu Yuening, "thank you for your patronage."

Captain Peng saw the accessories he bought, walked out of the store together, and said nonchalantly, "It's beautiful."

"A brooch?" Qiu Yuening smiled, "You think so too?"

"Well, give it to your lover?"

The purely caring tone of an elder made him feel no embarrassment, but it might not be appropriate to say his lover, "Yes...we are dating."

Captain Peng nodded, and said with some emotion: "If there is a suitable person, we must take good care of it." His expression seemed to have deep meaning.

Peng Ji was old enough, Qiu Yuening knew nothing about his private affairs.Has he had any special experiences?

Perhaps aware of his curiosity, the captain went on to say, "Let's find a place to sit down and talk."

Neither of them had dinner yet, so they found an Asian restaurant and ordered rice noodles each.

"I used to be your age," Captain Peng took a pair of chopsticks from the cutlery box and handed them to Qiu Yuening, "I met my lover."

Before Qiu Yuening's "thank you" stuck in his throat, he was startled by his words.

"You, are you married?" He immediately felt that his reaction was too big, and changed his words, "Sorry, I didn't hear about it before..."

"It's okay, I've always been single," he said calmly, "I didn't even confess to her, and she left."

"Going away?" Qiu Yuening was full of doubts, could it be the captain's unrequited love.

"She got an incurable disease and passed away more than ten years ago."

Qiu Yuening was speechless immediately, only this possibility never occurred to him.

Few people knew about this matter, and Captain Peng probably felt uncomfortable, so he told Qiu Yuening who seemed to hit it off and didn't know the lengths of others.

The woman is not from the airline, they met at the airport by chance.

At the beginning, the girl liked him, and he also had some affection, but he didn't want to get married too early, so he didn't agree.The girl didn't give up, and the two who came and went became more familiar, and when he was about to confess, the other party was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

The girl stopped what he wanted to say on the hospital bed, "Don't tell me, I want to leave without any worries."

A farewell for nearly 15 years.

"Actually, it's better to say it out?" Captain Peng muttered to himself.

After hearing these past events, Qiu Yuening turned from the previous shock to sadness, and his sadness almost caught up with his broken love.

He is easily affected by the outside world. When he was a child, he watched TV with his younger sister. When the tragedy happened, Qiu Yuecheng didn't react too much, and he was already tearing up.

Now, although he won't fall into the fictional world like that, he will more or less empathize with the people around him if something bad happens to him.

"Hey, why are you more excited than me?" The captain saw that his eyes were red, and took out a tissue, "This is fate, you can't admit it."

"I'm sorry." I should have comforted the other party by myself, but Qiu Yuening really couldn't say anything out of the ordinary.

"We still have to control our emotions in this business, otherwise how can we keep calm all the time?"

"I understand." He can always deal with emergencies on the plane calmly; but when it comes to situations related to real people, he can't get rid of his emotional tendency.

He had just joined the airline when his father died, so he deliberately took a few days off to adjust his mood. Apart from thinking about his father, he felt more sorry for his mother who lost his lover.However, the parents had at least [-] years of loving each other; the captain and the girl didn't even have a confession left from the beginning to the end.

When they came out of the restaurant, they didn't go the same way again. The captain went back to the hotel first, and Qiu Yuening walked towards the port.After taking a nap in the afternoon, he was not tired, and even his mind was quite active.The conversation at dinner oppressed him and made his steps feel heavy.

The wind was stronger at night than during the day, but luckily he put on a warm enough coat before going out.The opera house not far away was shining brightly in the night, he stopped, and his phone suddenly rang.

After taking it out and looking down, Ding Ye's name appeared in the center of the screen.
