Chapter 163 Official Announcement
"Songning, you're here quite early today." Sister Wang got out of the car and waved to Xu Songning.
"Will I get off later?" Xiang Yun paused in unbuckling his seatbelt.
"Want to meet him?" Xu Songning looked at him.
The two spoke almost at the same time. Xu Songning took his arm and said, "Brother Yun, are you afraid to meet my colleagues? I wanted to show off a bit, I have such a handsome and great boyfriend."
Xiang Yun laughed at himself for overthinking, and Xu Songning instantly calmed down his slightly agitated emotions.
"Let's go, let's meet him."
Just as Xu Songning was about to get out of the car, Xiang Yun pulled her back and adjusted the angle of the necklace pendant. "Alright, get out of the car."
Sister Wang was wondering why no one was paying attention to her, even though there were people in the car.
She looked up and saw a tall, imposing captain getting out of the cockpit. Yes, she wasn't mistaken; it was the same captain from Air China!
Then, Xu Songning got out of the passenger seat and waved cheerfully at her, "Good morning, Sister Wang!"
"Oh dear, Songning, who is this?" Sister Wang pretended not to know.
Xu Songning smiled sweetly, took Xiang Yun's arm, and introduced her, "Xiang Yun is my boyfriend."
"Oh my, Songning has such good taste! Young man, you have good taste too. Songning is beautiful and hardworking. She's getting a promotion this year. You should cherish our Songning and don't you dare bully her, or else there won't be a parking space for your plane at the airport!" Sister Wang teased.
Xiang Yun smiled and replied, "Okay, Sister Wang, don't worry about Song Ning, leave her to me."
The young man seemed rather aloof when he wasn't smiling, but his smile was like a breath of fresh air. Sister Wang felt a surge of relief; young people were so wonderful, the happiness of being in love was practically radiating from her face. She quickly slipped away.
"Alright, you should go to your meeting too. I'm about to take my seat, so I won't chat any longer." Xu Songning took her bag and gave him a gentle hug.
Ah, it smells so reassuring, it's really pleasant.
Xu Songning reluctantly got out of Xiang Yun's arms. Finally, she could openly take advantage of Captain Xiang, because he was her boyfriend now!
Xiang Yun suddenly felt a little reluctant to part with her. He hadn't noticed her feelings before they were officially a couple, but now that they were officially together, he wanted even more.
"By the way, when are you getting promoted?"
Xu Songning calculated the days and realized that it would be almost time to complete five years of work. "I'll submit the application after the summer travel season and see how it goes. It's not a big deal."
"Sure, I'll celebrate with you then," Xiang Yun said earnestly.
Xu Songning smiled and said, "Okay, then remember to tell me first when the notice comes down."
Xu Songning wore a new necklace to work. She rarely wears necklaces because she feels they get caught in her hair, so when she put it on today, her colleagues noticed her new accessory and asked her where she bought it.
Xu Songning never hides her relationship issues, and bluntly says that it was a gift from her boyfriend. Xiao Jin exclaimed, "Sister Xu actually has a boyfriend!"
Sister Wang chimed in, "Hey, I just saw him! He's so handsome! He's an Air China captain, 1.8 meters tall, and very upright."
"Wow! Which Air China captain is it? Is he from the Shanghai base? Do you have a photo, Sister Xu?"
Xu Songning thought for a moment, and sighed. She really didn't have a photo of Captain Xiang on her phone. Well, not that she didn't have one, but she couldn't show it off. She would have to get a proper photo from him another day.
Xu Songning was wearing a new necklace, and Xiang Yun was wearing a new watch as they went to fly. They were in good spirits, and before the plane pushed back, they sent a message to Xu Songning.
"We're about to take off."
Even though I knew she was at work and couldn't reply to my messages, the feeling of having someone to care about made it legitimate for me to let her know I was there too. Knowing she was also concerned about me made the journey feel different.
He is very cautious with every flight, keeping the words "safe takeoff and landing" in mind, and now he prefers to silently recite "peace and tranquility".
As Xu Songning once said, "Songning" means wishing someone peace.
Thinking of Songning is thinking of Ping'an, and it is also thinking of her.
After a busy day of flying, Xiang Yun landed and was texted by Gu Xing, who hadn't been seen for a while. He told Xiang Yun to wait for him at the terminal because his watch was fixed.
Xiang Yun first went to the car to change into casual clothes, put the flight case in the car, and smelled his body. It didn't smell bad, and there was no smell of sweat.
He found a coffee shop to sit and wait. When he turned on his phone, he received two or three messages from Xu Songning during his break, with two hours in between.
Xu Songning: Safe takeoff and landing~ Captain Xiang, what's for dinner?
Xu Songning: Another disobedient captain! I'll beat you up tonight to vent my anger. [Cat gets angry]
Xiang Yun: I'll be waiting for you at the terminal, sweetie.
"Hey! What news are you looking at? You're all smiles!" Gu Xing's irritating voice rang out.
Xiang Yun suppressed his smile, glanced at the well-dressed Gu Xing, and realized that wearing a pilot's uniform definitely gave him a different aura; as long as he didn't speak, he wasn't so annoying.
"Coffee." Xiang Yun pushed another cup in front of him.
Gu Xing dragged the flight case down and sat down with a flourish. "I'm just delivering a shipment to you. It's about to take off."
Xiang Yun reached for the box, but the dark blue watch on his wrist was too eye-catching. Gu Xing noticed it immediately and grabbed his hand, asking, "Hey! A new watch? You bought a new watch and you want me to fix this? I'll have to go all the way to deliver it to you via international express."
"It was a gift from my girlfriend." Xiang Yun pulled her hand back and waved it in front of him.
"Girlfriend?!" Gu Xing shouted, his voice so loud that it drew the attention of everyone in the coffee shop.
Xiang Yun sighed. It would be nice to be friends with Gu Xing, but he would only want to be friends with him occasionally.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" Gu Xing apologized, withdrawing his hands and asking him as quietly as possible, "What girlfriend? You already have a girlfriend after only a few days? What about Xu Songning?"
Xiang Yun looked at him like he was an idiot. "Who do you think it is?"
"No way, your girlfriend is Xu Songning?! You actually won over Sister Xu?" Gu Xing's jaw dropped in astonishment.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand how Xiang Yun, this taciturn guy, managed to win Xu Songning's heart. Besides, wasn't this guy just struggling with Lily's matter before?
"Aren't you going to investigate Lily now? Who said you wouldn't find a girlfriend until you figured this out?" Gu Xing sneered at him. He had acted like he was still hung up on Lily before, but he turned out to be a scumbag too!
"That's Lily." Xiang Yun calmly took a sip of coffee, in an exceptionally good mood.
Gu Xing felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. He frowned, picked up his coffee, sighed, put it down, tapped his fingers on the table in a meaningless rhythm, then picked it up again and took a small sip.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiang Yun knew him too well; whenever he hesitated like this, it meant he had something to say.
After holding it in for a long time, Gu Xing finally said, "Seeing my brother doing so well makes me really sad! Congratulations on getting a girlfriend! I just left my girlfriend, and sigh, I have to fly abroad again."
