Xiangyu

That's it... Is it over?

After Song Yuqiao left, Qiao Yusong was in a daze.He thought sporadically of all kinds of little things that happened in the year he first met Song Yuqiao.Because these small things are too far away from the present, only some fragmentary pictures remain.

He thought of the way Song Yuqiao frowned at the mahjong tiles, that was a rare time for Song Yuqiao to be distressed; he thought of Song Yuqiao who clearly found out that he had taken the wrong water glass, but just watched him finish the water in silence; he thought of Song Yuqiao holding an umbrella Waiting in the rain, he still doesn't know who Song Yuqiao was waiting for...

Then, Qiao Yusong remembered his feelings when he learned that they would meet on this flight.But at this moment, Song Yuqiao's departure seemed to be mocking such a missed opportunity.Even though, Qiao Yusong didn't know what kind of good opportunity this was.

"Brother Qiao, are you alright?" Liu Xinmei asked in concern because Qiao Yusong was in a trance too much.

Qiao Yusong shook his head and said, "It's okay."

"Is something wrong with the passengers of 26C?" She should have heard something from the purser.

"No." Qiao Yusong denied again without thinking, "It's nothing."

I don't know if Song Yuqiao has any other checked luggage besides the carry-on suitcase.As the whole group walked towards the arrival gate, Qiao Yusong was still out of his mind.He couldn't help looking around, looking for Song Yuqiao in the sparse crowd in vain.

I hope Song Yuqiao has checked in something else, so that he might still be able to see him at the baggage claim area.

But, even if you see it, so what?Qiao Yusong had to admit that it was futile for him to even find himself.

Maybe it was the right decision to make up my mind not to think about him at that time.Some people are destined to be unable to love, no matter how much they think about it, it is useless.But why did he appear again?As soon as he appeared, Qiao Yusong knew that he hadn't found a way to give up.And he had to face again the powerlessness that would not help even if he didn't give up.

Qiao Yusong was absent-minded along the way, until he heard the call from the purser, he suddenly remembered that his mobile phone was not turned on.

He turned on the power of the phone, and put the phone back in his pocket before the boot screen ended.

"Brother Qiao, what are you going to do this afternoon?" Liu Xinmei asked.

Before Qiao Yusong answered, the phone rang.He took out his mobile phone, and was shocked when he saw a strange incoming call from Xi Jin displayed on the screen.

Facing the vibrating mobile phone, Qiao Yusong was at a loss.

After a while, he collected himself and picked up the phone: "Hello?"

"Hello? Hello." There was an emotionless voice on the other end of the phone.

It was Song Yuqiao.In fact, Qiao Yusong knew it was Song Yuqiao after hearing only one word.However, the voice on the phone was a little distorted, making him inexplicably uncertain.

"Hello." Qiao Yusong replied cautiously.

The voice on the other end was still emotionless: "I am Song Yuqiao."

When the correct answer was finally revealed, Qiao Yusong's mind went blank.He took a deep breath and replied, "Yes."

"It was Song Yan who gave me your number." He paused, "Do you still remember Song Yan? She came back from Tanzhou on the 5th and said she met you on the plane."

Recalling the moment when Song Yan asked himself for the phone number, Qiao Yusong only felt that the call was like a dream.When did Song Yan give Song Yuqiao the phone number?Could it be that before Song Yuqiao got on the plane, the phone number was already stored in his mobile phone?Why did he make this call at this time?

Countless questions filled Qiao Yusong's mind. It was so full that he could only squeeze out a few words: "Well, I remember."

There was a long breathy sound on the phone, like Song Yuqiao exhaled.He asked, "Are you still flying this afternoon?"

"No. I..." Qiao Yusong stood on the escalator. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Song Yuqiao standing at the exit.

And Song Yuqiao also saw him.

Song Yuqiao hung up the phone, stood where he was, and looked at Qiao Yusong from a distance.

Because he kept looking at Song Yuqiao, Qiao Yusong didn't pay attention to the escalator.He almost fell.

After standing still, Qiao Yusong smiled awkwardly at him.

Song Yuqiao's lips seemed to be slightly pursed, but they didn't seem to.His brows and eyes were not bent, but his eyes became soft and radiant, as if smiling.

He has been very stingy with his expression since before, so that he can't catch the smile with changes in facial features, only those who reap it can perceive it, and only those who perceive it can gain something.

A group of people walked towards the arrival gate, and soon someone found that Qiao Yusong met someone he knew, but some people thought that the two had just met on the plane.

In this way, Qiao Yusong stayed under the eyes of his colleagues.

Song Yuqiao turned his head and waited for everyone else to leave, then looked at Qiao Yusong again.

If Song Yuqiao's deliberate disrespect on the plane was a prank, then he is really the worst person in the world who knows how to play pranks.After his mischief was over, there was nothing to laugh at.The separation time is too long, Qiao Yusong needs some time to learn how to communicate with him.

"Are you going back to the city?" Qiao Yusong asked, "How?"

Song Yuqiao replied, "Someone is here to pick me up."

"Oh..." He realized to his dismay that he might be the only one of the two who was agitated and overwhelmed.Song Yuqiao's calmness even made Qiao Yusong wonder if he was waiting for him just now.

Suddenly, Song Yuqiao asked, "What about you?"

"I will take the bus with them to the city." Even though he said that, Qiao Yusong thought that he might not be able to keep up with the team.Now that he is doomed to be alone, Qiao Yusong still wants to say a few more words, even if the conversation is meaningless: "Are you here on a business trip?"

He nodded and replied, "Well, I will go back to Xijin tomorrow afternoon."

"I'm on shift at noon tomorrow, and I'm going back to Jinrong." After speaking, Qiao Yusong was slightly disturbed and excited for some reason.

After listening, Song Yuqiao asked in confusion: "'Return'?"

"Well, the base is there." Qiao Yusong's inexplicable surprise made Qiao Yusong inexplicably confident, and he said, "Since we finally met, do you have time tonight? Have a meal together?"

Song Yuqiao lowered his eyes for a moment and said, "There may not be time."

Qiao Yusong was speechless and couldn't help but be disappointed.Are you here on a business trip and you have to work even at night?Or, have you dated someone else?

"Are you all right this afternoon and evening?" Song Yuqiao asked.

He was slightly taken aback, nodded vaguely, and said, "It should be." What else could he be busy with?It's just that he doesn't want to be too active in front of Song Yuqiao.

Song Yuqiao thought for a while and said, "Then I'll contact you later tonight."

"Okay." When Qiao Yusong said this word, he didn't know whether he breathed a sigh of relief or breathed a sigh of relief.

When Song Yuqiao said that someone came to pick him up, the first thing Qiao Yusong thought of was the man who hugged him in the TV news.

What happened afterwards?Are they reconciled?Is Song Yuqiao single now?This reunion after a long absence is more disturbing than the first meeting.They are clearly acquainted people, but they don't know anything about the other party.

"Where do you work now?" As before, Qiao Yusong didn't know much, but for Song Yuqiao, he still chose to ask questions knowingly.

"Do research and development at CASA." After Song Yuqiao finished speaking, he asked, "Have you been working in Jinrong?"

"No." Qiao Yusong said, unconsciously showing regret, "I was at the base in Xijin before, but I only applied for transfer to Jinrong a few months ago."

Song Yuqiao's pupils widened slightly after hearing this, before he opened his mouth to ask something else, but the two of them had already walked out of the arrival gate.

With so many curiosity and questions in his heart, Qiao Yusong wanted to ask them one by one, but the moment he walked out of the arrival gate, he saw the person who came to pick up Song Yuqiao.He suddenly understood why Song Yuqiao hesitated to speak.

The people waiting outside the railing at the exit did not seem to be Song Yuqiao's acquaintances.It was a team, three men and one woman. Except for the woman who looked like a college student, the three men were all older than Song Yuqiao, and one of them had already bald.

Qiao Yusong recognized them at a glance, not because they greeted Song Yuqiao, but because they saw the sign in their hands, which said "Welcome Professor Song Yuqiao".

Seeing those five words, Qiao Yusong couldn't help looking at Song Yuqiao beside him, but found that Song Yuqiao was also looking at him.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll contact you later." After Qiao Yusong finished speaking, he felt like a clown running away.

He was slightly surprised and nodded.

Qiao Yusong dragged the suitcase and walked out quickly.

When he was far away, he looked back and saw Song Yuqiao greeted the person who picked him up through the railing.Those people greeted with warm smiles on their faces, and immediately walked quickly to the end of the railing, shaking hands with Song Yuqiao who came out excitedly.

From a distance, Qiao Yusong saw the smile on Song Yuqiao's face that day in the TV interview program.

Looking at that smile, Qiao Yusong couldn't help thinking, which one is the real Song Yuqiao who talked to those people, and the Song Yuqiao who got along with him?

As Qiao Yusong expected, other colleagues had already left by bus.

Qiao Yusong waited for a taxi and went back to the hotel by himself.In the car, he suddenly remembered an important matter, and immediately turned on the function in the communication software that allowed him to be found by phone number.

He carefully saved Song Yuqiao's phone number, copied the number, and pasted it into the search bar of the communication software.

After clicking Search, the system returned no results. Qiao Yusong frowned disappointedly, guessing that Song Yuqiao might have turned off that function.He sighed, thinking if he could send Song Yuqiao a message, asking if he could add him as a friend.

Qiao Yusong exited the search interface, and was surprised to find a new prompt on the icon of the contact person.

This wasn't there 1 minute ago.

He quickly opened it, and saw "I am Song Yuqiao" written in the note of the friend application.

Qiao Yusong clicked Confirm to add without thinking. In the new dialogue window, the system prompted that he and Song Yuqiao had become friends and could start chatting.

It's time to chat...

Qiao Yusong licked his lips, only to realize that his lips had dried out and peeled at some point.He bit his lower lip, trying to type something into the dialog box.After repeatedly inputting and deleting, he wrote: I wanted to add you just now, but I couldn't find it.

Qiao Yusong is doing daily work of communicating with people, but at this moment, he is not sure whether this sentence will bring cold silence.Song Yuqiao didn't reply right away, he chose to send another question: Are you with the person who came to pick you up?

Song Yuqiao: Yes.

Qiao Yusong frowned, intending to ask who those people were, although he didn't care about the answer.However, before he finished editing, he received new information.

Song Yuqiao: It's kind of boring.
