When Lu Yibei woke up, the plane had already landed.
Ji Qingqian put away the Nintendo Switch she was playing with.
Lu Yibei was the first to step out of the cabin, yawning.
The two returned to the domestic departure level of Hangzhou Airport.
Lu Yibei listlessly opened his phone, typed a few lines, and then saw someone waving at him from not far away:
"North of here!"
The boy who called Lu Yibei was about the same age as him, with a head of rather long, choppy hair, the ends of which almost poked his eyes.
He was also wearing a rather casual black suit. He was handsome, had a good physique, and was quite tall, so he was easy to spot.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is his grayish-pink hair.
Ji Qingqian followed her boyfriend closer.
As she approached the man, her boyfriend casually exchanged a few words with him first, and a hint of surprise appeared on her usually aloof and incomparable face:
"…who?"
The boy, who had been wearing a casual smile, immediately looked displeased upon hearing this.
"No, Aji, it's me! Xu Che!"
It's only been about half a month since we last met, right?
—Does my appearance really have no presence?
Seeing the boy's shocked expression, Ji Qingqian raised an eyebrow with a hint of smugness: "Just kidding."
Xu Che finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, I almost started to doubt myself.
“I still remember someone as rare as you,” Ji Qingqian said.
Xu Che: "...There's really no need to add that sentence."
Ji Qingqian glanced at Xu Che's hair again: "But what about your old hairstyle? You need to straighten it out."
Now the hairstyle is soft and limp, and although the hair color isn't pure black anymore, it has returned to a darker tone.
—Then what's the difference between you and an ordinary person?
"January, Ah Ji."
Xu Che said helplessly, "I can't exactly shave my head in this season, can I?"
Ji Qingqian's surprise this time was genuine.
"Do the Americans even care about this?"
"First of all, I am Chinese."
Xu Che first proved his pure bloodline: "...I just studied in America."
so.
Actually, Xu Che didn't come to pick up Lu Yibei today; he was boarding a plane to leave the country.
Xu Che stayed in the country for nearly a month, which is definitely not a short period of time.
If he stays here any longer, he'll have trouble graduating.
"Sigh, I was hoping to go out and have some fun with you." Lu Yibei sighed.
He knew that Xu Che was going back—Xu Che had told him when they were planning the trip.
"well."
Xu Che also lowered his eyes and sighed: "Five people, and I'm the only single one. You said you'd go out with me? Lu Yibei, do you think I'm an idiot?"
Ji Qingqian glanced at the suitcase behind him: "So you were so scared that you turned around and ran away?"
“If this place won’t accept me, there’s another place that will,” Xu Che said.
Of course, this is just a joke.
Xu Che wasn't scared away; it was just bad luck.
As he spoke, Xu Che himself laughed:
"I'll come visit you guys next time I come back."
"Okay," Lu Yibei said.
Ji Qingqian thought for a moment and then said, "This summer, Abei and I are going on a road trip to the north of the Great Wall. If you have time off, you can come with us."
Xu Che quickly nodded: "That's great. Ji, you've extended such a warm invitation, I'll take time off even if I don't have any leave to come."
Ji Qingqian's brows furrowed in surprise, and she fell silent:
"No, you're really coming?"
Xu Che: ...
Lu Yibei: ...
Ji Qingqian raised her eyebrows triumphantly: "Just kidding."
Xu Che made a special trip to the domestic arrivals level this time, not just to say goodbye to the two of them.
He took out his car keys and tossed them to Lu Yibei:
"Alright, I'm not going to be your driving assistant. You'll have to make the trip yourself."
The key was from the AMG he used to drive frequently.
When Lu Yibei suggested going out together, she mentioned wanting to borrow his car.
He was afraid that his dad's refurbished, aging Golf would break down halfway through the journey.
After learning that this guy couldn't come along, Lu Yibei gave up on the idea.
I didn't expect this guy to not show up, but he managed to get the car.
Lu Yibei paused for a moment, then said:
"Is this your car? You just lend it to anyone, aren't you afraid I'll break it?"
"Even though it's my mom's car, I'm sure she'll trust me to lend it to you—I wouldn't dare lend it to my own car."
"Does Auntie know?" Lu Yibei asked.
"You'll find the gas tank is full when you drive it later."
Xu Che pursed his lips and said, "That wasn't because I had a change of heart, it was because my mom ordered me to—after she found out you wanted to borrow the car, she insisted that I fill up the gas tank. You can just use the parking garage, you know where it is anyway, it's fine if you don't stop. My mom won't realize she's missing a car for a while."
Lu Yibei nodded: "Okay, please thank Auntie for me."
"Don't."
Xu Che raised his hand in refusal: "If I mention you, my mom will start nagging about how you treat people like this... If you don't want to make things difficult for yourself, thank you."
Lu Yibei chuckled.
From the perspective of universal values, Xu Che is no worse than him in any way.
But perhaps, in the eyes of parents, there will always be the option of "other people's children".
"What time is your flight?" Lu Yibei asked.
Xu Che took out his phone and looked at it: "Almost there. Tsk, I have to go to the international level. Bye then, I'll contact you later."
As he spoke, he picked up the small bag that was placed beside him.
She stood up again and pushed her suitcase with a swift motion.
