Chapter 232 Blade Light
Xu Songning has been having a very comfortable time these past few days. Apart from being exhausted at work, when she gets home, she can enjoy a hot meal and freshly washed fruit as soon as she washes her hands.
Xiang Yun, wearing blue light glasses, sat in front of the computer playing some puzzle games.
He hardly plays any large-scale online games. According to Xu Songning's observation, he occasionally plays puzzle games, air traffic control games, and games where he flies airplanes.
Xu Songning's comment on this was, "Isn't this just making myself work overtime?"
But she also enjoyed playing with Xiang Yun. At first, the two didn't have any chemistry, but they got to know each other better as they played and became good partners in the game.
Xu Songning popped a grape into his mouth. "Brother Yun, when are we eating?"
"The rice cooker has two minutes left. Let me finish playing with this first." Xiang Yun said, biting into a grape while keeping her eyes glued to the screen.
Xu Songning didn't believe it. Could it really be that punctual? She ran to the kitchen and stared at the rice cooker's timer.
Two minutes later, the gas valve on the rice cooker closed.
"That's brilliant."
Xu Songning finished serving the rice, and Xiang Yun had already come out in slippers. He forgot to take off his glasses, which added to his scholarly air.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your face?" Xiang Yun touched his face and felt his glasses, which he hadn't taken off yet.
Just as he was about to pick it, Xu Songning grabbed his hand.
"Don't pick them, they're beautiful," Xu Songning said with a smile.
Xiang Yun understood what she meant, so he kept wearing the mask and started talking about what had happened that day.
"I went back to the company and got over my mental block. The company will arrange for me to fly the simulator, and if everything goes well, I should be able to resume training in about a week."
"So fast? Actually, you should rest a little longer." Xu Songning was worried about him.
Xiang Yun smiled calmly, "I'm all better now. Didn't Sister Xu say she wanted to see me on the VHF? If I don't fly, how will I get the chance?"
"That's assuming you're really okay."
"Don't worry, I'm confident in myself."
Xu Songning certainly had confidence in him. While Xiang Yun was practicing on the simulator, Xu Songning was also working like crazy. Overtime was a regular occurrence for her when traffic was high.
Luckily, I have Xiang Yun at home. After get off work, I can stick to him and be his pendant. I don't have to think about anything, and my mind feels very comfortable.
On her days off, the first thing Xu Songning did was to visit Zhou Qiao.
After all, the troublemaker is still around, and it's hard to say how far things have progressed between the two.
Zhou Qiao is the type of person who doesn't talk about things, and she will never bother others with things she can handle herself.
When Xu Songning and Xiang Yun had their accident, she called Xu Songning almost every night, worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep.
Now that someone on Zhou Qiao's side has caused trouble, she naturally has to go and check it out.
Xiang Yun drove her there. He still needed to practice on the simulator. After dropping her off, he told her, "Wait for me to pick you up tonight."
"Okay, you've driven my car away, so I obviously can't walk by myself anymore." Xu Songning smiled and waved, watching him leave.
When Zhou Qiao heard that Xu Songning was coming, she came to the door early to greet her. Leaning against the wall and watching the two of them being affectionate, she felt a little sour. Why was her own husband always so troublesome?
No, it's not hers. The two haven't made up yet.
"Qiaoqiao, why did you come out to meet me? I know the way." Xu Songning stepped forward and hugged Zhou Qiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Zhou Qiao patted her back with a lot of emotion, "Of course I came to pick you up. How are you two? I was so scared when I heard Lu Xiaomeng talk about it. The news is all about this plane every day. I'm so worried about you."
"It's alright, I've started working again. Yun-ge should be back to work in a few days too," Xu Songning said with a smile. "So, how's that troublemaker at your house doing?"
"Sigh! I'm really at my wit's end, Songning," Zhou Qiao sighed repeatedly.
Xu Songning patted her shoulder, "If you have no other choice, just take him in. Anyway, this troublemaker has his eye on you."
"Who would dare?" Zhou Qiao said helplessly.
Xu Songning knew she had something on her mind, so he didn't say anything more. The two chatted outside for a while before going into the bar.
As night fell, Xiang Yun messaged her, saying he was coming to pick her up.
"Qiaoqiao, Brother Yun is coming to pick me up. I'll wait for him outside; it's not good to wander around here," Xu Songning whispered in Zhou Qiao's ear.
Suddenly, someone seemed to be staring at them. Xu Songning subconsciously looked in that direction, but there were many people in the bar and she didn't see any suspicious people.
"Let me take you there. It's getting dark, and it's not safe for you to go alone." Zhou Qiao stood up and handed the glass in her hand to the bartender.
The bartender joked, "Boss, you'd better take care of yourself. Are you even able to walk steadily?"
"You're talking nonsense! How am I unsteady on my feet?" Zhou Qiao waved her hand, a faint smell of alcohol emanating from her. She hadn't drunk much, only a slight buzz.
"Qiaoqiao, no need, it's just a few steps, I can manage by myself." Xu Songning pressed her down, she had a feeling of unease in her heart, but she didn't know why.
"What! I'm going to take you there." Zhou Qiao grabbed her bag, shoved it into her arms, and pushed her away. "Come on! I'm going to get you to Captain Xiang's car today."
Helpless, Xu Songning secretly sent a message to Qin You.
—Jojo is drunk and acting crazy, come and pick her up!
"Qiaoqiao, you can just drop me off at the door." Xu Songning stood at the front door.
Zhou Qiao nudged her shoulder. "Stop talking nonsense, let's go! It's so late at night, if you walk alone, Captain Xiang might not be worried, but I am."
"Alright..." Xu Songning had no choice but to indulge her. She had already been brought here, and it was impossible for her to go back.
The two walked on a wide road, with dense bushes on both sides. Even though the lights were on at night, there were still many shadowy spots.
There were few cars, and when one occasionally drove by, it sped past.
"Why hasn't Captain Xiang arrived yet?" Zhou Qiao stood by the roadside, looking around for a long time, but didn't see any familiar cars coming.
Xu Songning took out his phone. "I'm going to call him. Are you sure you can stand still?"
"Nonsense, I'm not drunk." Zhou Qiao propped her chin up, squatting by the roadside, her eyes slightly tipsy.
Xu Songning dialed the number, and Xiang Yun answered it quickly.
"Are you getting impatient? We'll be there soon, there was a bit of traffic on the way."
"No rush, Qiaoqiao is waiting with me. We're at the intersection, you can just drive over." Xu Songning said, swaying slightly as he turned around.
The surrounding bushes were tall enough to block out people's shadows. While on the phone, she walked over and pulled Zhou Qiao, saying, "Don't squat down, your legs will go numb later."
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a cold light flashing in the bushes—the reflection of a knife!
Xu Songning felt a chill run down her spine, sensing a dangerous aura emanating from her. She pulled Zhou Qiao sharply towards her, causing her phone to fall to the ground with a loud thud.
"Songning? Xu Songning? What happened?"
Xiang Yun called her name, but there was no response. Something must have happened!
