Chapter 168 Picking Up People
She can't stand not finding fault with someone for a day. In Xiang Yun's words, it's because she's been too nice to her that she's secretly starting to cause trouble.
Xiang Yun applied hair oil to her hair, then pulled off the towel from the back of the chair and wiped the remaining oil off his hands.
"Sister Xu, are you hinting at something again?"
“I never hinted at anything to you, but you’ve been avoiding the issue,” Xu Songning said, displeased.
Xiang Yun bit her chin, then turned to go to the bathroom to wash a towel, saying slowly, "Go ask Cui Yuyue."
Xu Songning secretly sent a message to Cui Yuyue.
Xu Songning: Little sister, did your brother used to wash your hair?
Cui Yuyue: ...I did wash it, but it's a terrible memory. Have you ever tried washing your hair upside down? Sister Xu
Xu Songning: No! [Cat looks terrified]
As the only child in her family, Xu Songning had never been treated like this before, having her hair washed upside down... Xu Songning suddenly felt that her brother Xiang Yun was quite scary.
Cui Yuyue comforted her: Actually, it was because I was naughty when I was three years old. My hair was in bad condition, and I would put mud on my head. My brother made me wash my hair upside down to warn me. In order to improve my hair quality from a young age, and because my parents were busy at that time, my brother took over the task of washing my hair.
Okay, then he can be considered a good older brother.
Changing one's stance is always easy.
Xu Songning: Little sister, you're not at all like the elite person you seem.
Cui Yuyue: An elite? Sister Xu, who are you talking about? It shouldn't be me, right?
Xu Songning laughed and fell onto the bed. She lay on her side scrolling through her phone when Xiang Yun came back after washing the towel and snatched her phone away, saying, "Go to sleep."
"You'll sleep in the second bedroom tonight." Xu Songning hugged her pillow tightly, refusing to let go.
Xiang Yun had just sat on the bed when he was about to be kicked out, but he didn't linger. "Fine, I can get up early tomorrow anyway."
Xiang Yun returned to the second bedroom. He wasn't in a hurry; the person would come sooner or later anyway.
He took out his tablet to read e-books. He doesn't buy many paper books because they're inconvenient to move; he reads e-books more often.
He put on his frameless glasses, leaned against the headboard, and continued reading the book he hadn't finished before.
About fifteen minutes later, the door to the second bedroom was gently pushed open. Seeing that he was not asleep, Xu Songning confidently hugged her pillow and lay down on his bed. Xiang Yun ignored her.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Songning lay on the pillow, fiddling with his glasses with her fingers, showing great interest.
Why are you wearing glasses?
Xiang Yun, who wears glasses, looks like a cold and aloof male god. Only Xu Songning knows that his inner self is not what he appears to be.
Xiang Yun grabbed her mischievous hand, holding a tablet in one hand, and said, "Blue light blocking glasses."
"Alright, it's time to sleep, Captain Xiang." Xu Songning pointed to the watch on his wrist to remind him when he saw that he still didn't seem to want to sleep.
Xiang Yun put down his tablet and looked at her teasingly, "I've never seen you go to bed this early before."
"I'll make sure you go to bed early and get up early." Xu Songning wrapped her arms around his waist and closed her eyes contentedly.
She used to be unable to sleep if someone slept next to her, but now, influenced by Xiang Yun, she can't sleep if no one is next to her.
early morning.
Xiang Yun's alarm clock rang, but he turned it off in time when it went off a second time.
Xu Songning slept soundly, her brows relaxed, nestled in his arms.
Xiang Yun had never had the thought of not wanting to go to work, but now, seeing Xu Songning's peaceful sleeping face, he actually felt a little reluctant to leave.
Knowing he couldn't afford to waste time, he got up, washed up, changed into his pilot's uniform in the bathroom outside, and then turned back into the master bedroom before leaving.
He moved very quietly, and Xu Songning was never woken up.
Xiang Yun leaned down and placed a kiss on her cheek, saying, "May you have a safe journey."
The door closed gently, and Xiang Yun's phone rang in the hallway.
He thought it was a reminder call from a fellow crew member, but when he looked, it turned out to be Ms. Cui.
Ms. Cui rarely calls him, and the family usually doesn't interfere with each other. So, for it to happen so early in the morning, there must be something urgent.
"Mom, what's up?" Xiang Yun answered the phone and went straight to the point.
Ms. Cui, who had been busy until early morning and hadn't slept yet, rubbed her forehead and said irritably, "What's wrong? Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"
"Still not asleep?" Xiang Yun could hear the weariness in his mother's voice.
As the backbone of the firm, Ms. Cui often works overtime until late at night. She only relaxed after her business in Shenzhen was on track. Now, with her career transitioning to a new location in Shanghai, she has even more to worry about.
"I've been a bit busy lately. You answered the phone so quickly, do you have a flight mission?" Ms. Cui asked him.
Xiang Yun's flight case made a gurgling sound, which was hard to miss in the quiet environment.
"Yes."
"You said you were going to terminate the lease, have you found a place to live yet? According to your mother, you should come home and live here. The food you cook is like poison, you should ask your father to cook something good for you two to nourish yourselves. You two siblings are both living outside, why don't you want to come back to this home?" Ms. Cui muttered.
Xiang Yun listened quietly. Her mother was definitely not just whining; her sudden emotional outburst was likely followed by something else.
The elevator reached the basement level, where he found his car and put the flight box up there.
"Mom, you've worked so hard, please get some rest. My siblings and I are all grown up now, we can control what we should and shouldn't do."
“It’s good that you know how hard your mother works,” Ms. Cui said, changing the subject and getting back to the main point. “Hey, when are you on vacation? Do you remember your Aunt Lin’s daughter? The little princess-like girl you used to play with? She’s going back to China soon. Go pick her up.”
"How do I pick him up?" Xiang Yun got into the car and fastened his seatbelt.
"What do you mean, how do I pick her up? Her plane landed in Shanghai, why don't you pick her up and take her to your place for a visit? You used to say you wanted to marry her when you were little, but now that you're grown up, you don't even see her anymore?" Ms. Cui clicked her tongue.
"When she was a child, the person who said he wanted to marry her was Cui Yuyue."
“Your sister was only two years old then. Can you really take what she said seriously? What’s wrong with letting her sit in your car? Take her back to your Aunt Lin’s place. Don’t make things difficult for your mother. Aunt Lin is also my client.”
Xiang Yun opened Cui Yuyue's chat window, "Okay, tell me your contact information, which flight are you taking to Shanghai?"
Ms. Cui gave a phone number and flight number, and Xiang Yun entered the number into Cui Yuyue's chat box and sent it over.
He checked the flight number and realized why Ms. Cui had called him so early; Aunt Lin's daughter's flight was today, landing in Shanghai this afternoon.
"Remember? Make sure they get back to your Aunt Lin safely," Ms. Cui instructed.
"Okay, I'm hanging up now, time to drive."
"Okay, don't get distracted while driving, and the same goes for flying a plane."
The call finally ended, and Xiang Yun pressed the voice message button to send a message to Cui Yuyue.
"At 1 p.m., pick up Aunt Lin's daughter from the airport."
Intern Cui Yuyue also got up especially early today to accompany her mentor to a client's home to understand the case. The client lives far away, and they could only spare some time in the early morning, so they had to set off early.
Cui Yuyue: Who??
