Chapter 228 Returning Home
early morning.
Xiang Yun got up and packed his things. Xu Songning followed his direction, crawling from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. She opened her eyes slightly, glanced in his direction, and then closed them again.
"Get up, get ready to go back to China." Xiang Yun packed all her clothes into her suitcase and changed into the clothes she had worn when she came.
The clothes I changed into here are too drab; if I wear them back home, my family will definitely be shocked.
"Okay, get up." Xu Songning responded verbally, lying motionless on the bed, occasionally humming softly.
The gifts they brought were packed in another suitcase, and all they had left was a dazed Xu Songning.
Xiang Yun was washing up at the sink when a "ghost" floated up behind him.
Xu Songning pulled her long hair back and leaned against Xiang Yun. She really didn't want to wake up, because waking up meant she would have to go back to work in China right away.
She has adjusted her mindset and will definitely be able to return to her post to command aircraft without any problem. However, her desire for freedom has taken flight, and she cannot return to China with it for the time being.
Even as she boarded the plane back to China, Xu Songning still felt a void in her heart.
Xiang Yun gently rubbed her head, comforting her, "I'll take you out to play again next time."
Xu Songning clenched her fist and punched his leg. "You have convalescent leave, I only have annual leave. Sigh, so miserable."
"It's okay, even if it's just two days off, it's enough to travel around the country. Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you." Xiang Yun kissed her forehead.
"What about your month-long convalescent leave?" Xu Songning pressed.
Xiang Yun thought for a moment, "It's not fun for me to go out alone if you don't come with me. I'll cook for you at home and wait for you to come back."
“Okay, when we get back I want to eat…” Xu Songning rattled off a string of dishes, as if reading from a recipe. I don’t know how she could fit so many dishes into her head.
“Okay, I will try my best to learn how to cook,” Xiang Yun replied.
Hearing this, the scenery outside the plane didn't seem so appealing anymore.
Xu Songning leaned on Xiang Yun's shoulder as the two of them used a tablet to filter photos. The rented camera had already been returned, and Xiang Yun had bought back the memory card. With an adapter, they could view the photos on the tablet.
The photos were spread out densely, including more than fifty video files and over a thousand photos.
"Brother Yun, why did you take so many pictures?" Xu Songning scrolled down and saw that Xiang Yun had taken almost a dozen pictures of the same scene in quick succession, from various angles.
"It's beautiful." Xiang Yun clicked on the first picture, a transparent glass water room. The memory immediately pulled them back to that rainy night. The two smiled knowingly and then scrolled down to see more pictures.
A boring trip combined with the photo-sifting activity made the time fly by.
After Xu Songning finished filtering the photos, she pulled Xiang Yun to watch the video again, and when she saw something interesting, she would go back and watch it again.
Xiang Yun finally managed to coax the person to sleep, and less than two hours later, the plane landed in Shanghai.
Xu Songning never sleeps in when she's busy with work. Returning to Shanghai and seeing the familiar airport, she sighed, "Time to go to work again."
Sure enough, she had only been home resting for less than fifteen minutes when Director Liu called.
"Songning, how was your rest? Where did you go for your holiday?"
"Director Liu, just tell me straight, are you asking me to go back to work?"
Xu Songning lay on the sofa, watching Xiang Yun take the clothes out and put them in the washing machine for another wash.
Director Liu exchanged pleasantries, "Hey, of course I care about the physical and mental health of my employees. We just went through an emergency last week, and I was worried that you might still be under pressure."
"Oh, then I feel pressured."
"Hey! You little rascal, you're really trying to climb up the pole."
"yes."
"...Alright, your vacation is over. Your colleagues are going crazy from the summer travel rush. You'd better come back and take over your shifts, or your Sister Wang and Xiao Jin will come after you in the Maldives."
"Do I need to take a psychological test again when I come back to work tomorrow?" Xu Songning turned over and placed the doll on her stomach.
"Yes, it's a necessary procedure. Just come early, finish the psychological test, and you can start working. I have confidence in you; with your strong heart, this little thing won't be a problem for you."
Xu Songning chuckled. "Is this matter over? When will the investigation into the pilot's case be concluded?"
"You're just an air traffic controller, why are you meddling in the captain's business? Stop worrying about it, it's not a bad thing, it might even be good for your promotion. That's all, I won't say any more, get back to work now."
"Alright." Xu Songning hung up the phone, grabbed Xiang Yun's trouser leg, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and rested his head on Xiang Yun's lap.
"Going to work tomorrow, are you unhappy?" Xiang Yun tidied her long hair so it wouldn't get weighed down.
"No, I just secretly inquired, and this matter should be fine." Xu Songning grabbed his hand and put her arm around his waist.
She loved this position, nestled in Xiang Yun's arms; it made her feel very safe.
“The company contacted me, but we’re on vacation. I don’t want to talk to you about business,” Xiang Yun said.
Xu Songning sat up abruptly, looking at him nervously, "What did the company say?"
"They asked me some routine questions and told me to practice on the simulator when I had time, to get my feel for the game back, to take a psychological test, and then wait for news from the company."
"So that means there's a possibility of resuming flights ahead of schedule?"
"Hmm, why are you so happy?" Xiang Yun asked, amused.
Xu Songning smugly hummed, "With the summer travel season being such a great opportunity, of course you have to fight alongside me."
During the summer travel season, both pilots and airplanes are in short supply. After finishing one flight and getting enough rest, they immediately have to fly the next one.
If Xiang Yun is not psychologically unstable, letting him return to fly is a reasonable arrangement by the company.
Xu Songning has been paying attention to Xiang Yun's condition these past few days. He is in much better condition than when he set off. It can be said that he has been completely healed.
Before the company recalled its employees, Xiang Yun planned to cook a variety of delicious dishes for Xu Songning over the next few days, including sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried lotus root tips with pork, lotus seed soup, and braised pork knuckle...
He wrote everything down in his notebook, and for some dishes he didn't know how to cook, he even had to look up information online.
Xu Songning ordered mostly meat dishes, so it's important to pay attention to a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, and to replenish fruit as needed.
When you're not busy, you absolutely can't be careless when it comes to food. You need to eat more delicious food to keep your body healthy.
When Ms. Cui learned that they had returned to China, she sent a message inviting them to dinner that evening. Xiang Yun was reluctant to go because Xu Songning would be going to work the next day, but Xu Songning agreed. She had just run off with someone else's son, and with the summer travel rush, she didn't know when she would see her parents again. So she decided to go today.
Ms. Cui invited them to dinner, so she must have prepared a lot of delicious food and had something to say to them, otherwise she wouldn't have called them back.
They haven't given us the gifts they brought back from the Maldives yet, so we can take them with us.
