Chapter 80 Take a look at the abs
"He'll call again in less than ten seconds," Xiang Yun said, tapping his wristwatch.
It was a three-time zone watch with a deep blue dial, a cockpit instrument style, and luminous hands, giving it a distinctly pilot-like feel.
The black, industrial-style watch strap wraps around a powerful wrist, and the pulse beats vigorously beneath it.
Xu Songning didn't pay attention to the time, but focused all his attention on Xiang Yun's wrist. Xiang Yun's skin was very healthy, and the natural white skin combined with the black watch strap, with the veins restrained under the black, made him look very sexy.
The sudden ringing of the telephone interrupted Xu Songning's gaze.
As expected, it was Gu Xing calling again.
Xiang Yun answered the call and put it on speakerphone.
“Miss Xu, actually I wasn’t the one speaking just now, this is me now.” Gu Xing’s tone changed from his previous arrogance. He spoke in a clear and articulate voice, almost like a broadcaster.
"I know, Captain Gu. You must have been possessed just now, right?" Xu Songning replied with a smile.
Gu Xing was silent for a few seconds. "If you say so, then so be it. Why are you two together? Are you both off work? Am I the only one flying? I really need to give you two a piece of my mind. Work more overtime. You don't even have partners, what are you doing with all this free time?"
“We’re cooking. We’re making stir-fried braised beef with cilantro, scrambled eggs with scallions, and blanched lettuce. Oh, by the way, Captain Xiang made the blanched lettuce.” Xu Songning raised his voice at the end.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing lost his composure and shouted in a fit of rage, "Xiang Yun! Don't you dislike cooking?! Last time I came to your house, you cooked me instant noodles! You said your cooking was terrible, do you remember?!"
If Gu Xing himself were here, he would have already been crying and clinging to his brother's leg, complaining that after flying back from abroad for half a month, he had upset his girlfriend, who kicked him out. He could only drag his big bags to his brother's place, and his brother made him a bowl of instant noodles.
Fortunately, he even sent Xiang Yun a red envelope as a thank you for taking him in.
"I'm not lying to you," Xiang Yun said casually.
Xu Songning quickly vouched for him, "It's true, I vouch for it! Before today, Captain Xiang's cooking skills were terrible. He even ruined a head of lettuce last time."
"Really?" Gu Xing's voice was resentful, even more so than a ghost's.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Let's get down to business." Xiang Yun interrupted the pointless back-and-forth. Given Gu Xing's tendency to talk nonsense, if the topic wasn't brought back on track, it would probably stray a thousand miles away.
"What's wrong? This isn't a big deal for me?" Gu Xing exclaimed.
Xiang Yun ruthlessly affirmed, "Nonsense. Do you know that group admin? He doesn't add Xu Songning."
This was the first time Xu Songning had ever heard Xiang Yun swear, and he found it quite novel. It was clear that Xiang Yun's tolerance for Gu Xing was nearing its limit. How exactly did these two become friends?
"Ah, I know him!" Gu Xing smugly snorted. "Hey, it's that time of year again when you beg me, wanting me to put in a good word for you, huh?"
"Captain Gu, this is my matter; in fact, I'm the one asking you for help."
"Oh, Miss Xu, don't worry about it. I just want that kid Xiang Yun to beg me."
"Okay, I'll give it a try when you get back."
Xiang Yun emphasized the last two words, sending a chill down Gu Xing's spine. The threatening words from earlier were still in the chat box, and he dared not offend this man.
"Asking for help, and you're still talking so tough, really." Gu Xing muttered, but his body language betrayed him as he opened WeChat. "Miss Xu, I'll give him your WeChat ID, and wait for him to add you."
Xu Songning was slightly surprised, wondering what their relationship was. "Captain Gu's words carry so much weight?"
"It works, don't worry, this is all fabricated, we all believe you, that guy surnamed Song is talking nonsense! We knew he was no good when we met him before, he's nowhere near as good as our Captain Xiang, don't you think so, Miss Xu?"
Seeing that the conversation was about to veer off in another direction, Xiang Yun pulled her phone back and notified Gu Xing, "Dinner's ready."
"You eat your food, I'm talking to Miss Xu, you..."
The call ended, and Xiang Yun's phone started ringing, with several messages popping up instantly.
Xiang Yun put the phone on silent mode and placed it face down on the table.
"Captain Gu is quite interesting." Xu Songning picked up her chopsticks again, her mood brightening considerably. She didn't like putting things off until the next day, especially things like being smeared with mud.
"It's not really that interesting. Besides, he has a girlfriend."
"Hmm? I know."
"They've been together for four years."
"Ah, that's a good relationship."
Xu Songning took a bite of beef, then suddenly stopped chewing. Was Xiang Yun... afraid that she was interested in Gu Xing?
How could that be? She already knew Gu Xing had a girlfriend, and Gu Xing was the type who talked so much she could fill a whole basket; she really couldn't handle him.
With half the problem solved, the meal was a pleasant experience.
Xiang Yun still had a flight mission, so he petted the three flowers for a while and then left.
Xu Songning took Sanhua downstairs to digest her food. Unlike a dog, a kitten wouldn't charge around, so she confidently tied the leash to her wrist and played a match-3 game as they walked slowly.
In the match-3 game, you can see your friends who are also playing. This time, she saw Xiang Yun's name and avatar in the bottom bar.
Huh, he's started playing this too?
When Xu Songning gets stuck on a level, a notification pops up, allowing him to send a message to a friend for help and increase his steps.
Judging by the time, Xiang Yun should not have boarded the plane yet.
So she sent it to Xiang Yun, picking out a cute cat waving its pleading emoji from her emoji library.
Back on the match-3 screen, five steps popped up the next second.
Having successfully passed this hurdle, WeChat displayed two messages from different people.
She went back to check and saw that Xiang Yun had replied to her message, and there was also a friend request with a verification message: Luo Xiao. "Sorry, I've had too many friend requests today, I've rejected them all."
It seems Gu Xing's words really do have an effect.
However, she ignored this first and clicked into her chat with Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun: How many levels have you played?
Xu Songning: Over two thousand levels! How's that, Captain Xiang? Isn't Sister Xu amazing?
Xiang Yun: Impressive
Xiang Yun: [Image of a cat giving a thumbs up]
Xu Songning: The group admin added me.
Xiang Yun: Have him add you to the group so you can confront Song Qing'an directly.
Xu Songning: Yun-ge's words are so effective? The group seems to be full.
Xiang Yun: Don't worry
Xu Songning: Okay, are we about to fly?
Xiang Yun: [Image]
Xu Songning clicked on the picture, which was a photo of Xiang Yun sitting in a car, with red brake lights in front of him and his figure visible through the windshield.
He was wearing a well-fitting captain's uniform, his black jacket neatly worn, and the four gold stripes on his epaulets particularly eye-catching.
Xu Songning had a sudden thought and saved the picture.
Xu Songning: So handsome! [Cat drooling jpg] Look at his abs!
There was a pause of a few seconds before a message came back.
Xiang Yun: Next time
Xu Songning exited the chat window with satisfaction and slowly added Luo Xiao as a friend.
"Quack".
The next second, Luo Xiao's message came through.
