Chapter 84 Waiting for You to Come Back
Gu Xing: I just landed, no need to thank me. Luo Xiao is my good brother, it's just a matter of a word from him. If you really want to thank someone, thank Captain Xiang.
He didn't finish his sentence, but Xu Songning could roughly piece together his meaning. If it weren't for his connection with Xiang Yun, he probably wouldn't have helped. After all, he wouldn't be so idle as to help a woman.
Xu Songning: I thank you both.
Gu Xing: You want to thank me for everything? Let's have dinner together sometime, and I can introduce you to Luo Xiao. He's a Chinese-American captain for Qatar Airways, flies Boeing 777s, is incredibly handsome, and speaks fluent Chinese—no problem communicating. But if you really want to, you can try speaking English to show off.
Qatar Airways and Emirates are jokingly referred to as "luxury airlines".
The reason is simple: first, they have money; second, they still have money.
Having money means being arrogant.
Xu Songning replied: "A Qatar Airways captain? That's truly enviable. But how come a Qatar Airways captain is the group leader of the East China Civil Aviation Group?"
Gu Xing typed very quickly, and several messages popped up one after the other.
— Absolutely! Qatar Airways and Emirates offer really good benefits.
—Oh, it used to be his brother's group admin, but then his brother stopped flying, so he gave the group admin position to him.
- Flying a Boeing is so much fun! I've been flying an Airbus A330 for so long, I'd like to try flying a Boeing too.
- Changing flights requires retraining, what a hassle.
—Hey, where's your calico? Let me see.
Xu Songning lifted her leg, and Sanhua let out a soft cry in her sleep, then turned around and continued to lie down.
When Gu Xing talked about airplanes, she thought of the model airplane in Xiang Yun's bedroom—the Queen of the Skies—a Boeing 747. Was there some special reason why he only kept this one model airplane? Perhaps now was a good time to ask.
Xu Songning picked out a beautiful photo of Sanhua from her phone and sent it over.
—Look, isn't it cute?
- Airbus is great, they even have small tables for meals.
- Do you know Yun-ge because you both fly Airbuses?
Gu Xing: No, your brother Yun has always flown Boeings, before that he flew a Boeing 747. He never told you that, did he? You really don't know anything about it.
Flying a 747 is so cool, it's a four-engine wide-body passenger plane! It's not easy to fly a 747 now, it's been discontinued. Air China is the only airline in China that operates four-engine wide-body passenger planes; other airlines probably wouldn't be able to get one.
For him, the 747 was also a plane of great significance.
—Wow, how adorable! No wonder Xiang Yun insisted on turning back to buy cat food last time. I wonder what's so charming about it; it turns out it's a kitten.
Xu Songning: I see. No wonder he collected a 747 model airplane.
- Kittens are definitely very charming.
Sanhua woke up yawning and immediately looked for Xu Songning for food. She wouldn't eat cat food; she needed some small treats to feel better.
Xu Songning rummaged through the plastic bag, and the rustling sound caught the kitten's attention. The kitten perked up its ears and watched intently as she took a cat treat from the bag on the shelf.
The calico cat elegantly licked the cat treat, while the cell phone on the dining table kept buzzing.
She picked up the kitten to get her phone. The kitten couldn't get its cat treat and started meowing anxiously.
Gu Xing: Wait a minute!! How did you know he had a 747 in his collection?
—You went to his house? No, you went into his bedroom?!
—Holy crap! What's going on? Tell me quickly!
Xu Songning thought to himself, "Not only did she go into his bedroom, but she also slept at his house for one night. Can I say that?" Of course not.
She put the phone back and then put the cat treat back to calico's mouth.
After finishing her meal, Sanhua licked her lips contentedly. She tiptoed down from her mother's lap and climbed to her cat bed to sharpen her claws.
Ms. Xu came out of the room, still holding a piece of clothing that she hadn't finished folding. "Goodness, did you mess with Sanhua again? I heard it barking."
While clearing away the dishes, Xu Songning laughed and said, "No, Mom, why do you seem to like it more?"
"Oh my, that's the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Your precious daughter is even jealous?" Ms. Xu laughed heartily.
No one mentioned Ms. Xu's plan to go abroad again during this time. Two months have passed quickly, and she will have another check-up. If Ms. Xu's health has recovered well, she can continue her round-the-world trip.
The next morning.
After arranging breakfast for her as usual, Ms. Xu took Sanhua out for a walk.
Xu Songning drove to the airport, took a nap, and woke up feeling refreshed before going to work.
As soon as she stepped through the gate, she saw a group of people gathered in front of the bulletin board, chattering about something.
Someone turned around and spotted Xu Songning, shouting, "Hey! Xu Songning's here!"
"Songning, you're amazing! Come and see for yourself!"
"This is so lively! I've never seen anything like it before."
Xu Songning had an idea and quickly walked over.
Sure enough, a blank A4 sheet of paper was pasted on the bulletin board; it was a handwritten apology letter.
Apology letter
I formally apologize to Xu Songning. What I said about her in the East China Civil Aviation group yesterday was all a rumor. I apologize for this.
Apologizer – Song Qing'an
Several people present were bystanders from the East China Civil Aviation Group. As fellow air traffic controllers, they naturally supported Xu Songning. They didn't know Song Qing'an's character, but how could they not know Xu Songning?
Those who were unaware of the situation were also informed about what happened yesterday, and they all expressed their disdain for Song Qing'an and their admiration for Xu Songning.
If this person were to fall into Shanghai again, he'd probably lose all face.
Xu Songning took out her phone, took a picture of the apology letter, and wanted to send it to Xiang Yun. She opened WeChat and saw several messages pop up.
Xiang Yun flew three flights yesterday and spent the night away from home, so he only replied to her message in the middle of the night.
—Has it eaten? Does it have an upset stomach?
- Its fur is getting a bit curly. When should I give it a bath? Or should I wait until I get back from my flight?
Upon seeing the message, Xu Songning couldn't help but smile; he was truly in a good mood.
It didn't eat it; it played with it for a while, then threw it away.
—I need to take a shower. I'll wait until you get back; I can't handle it.
—Look, the apology letter. Thanks to you, Yun-ge, if I hadn't gotten in touch with the group admin, I would have had to use Lu Xiaomeng's account to clarify things indirectly, which would have been far less effective.

Xiang Yun didn't reply for a while, but Xu Songning wasn't in a hurry. After all, that's how their work is; one second they're talking, and the next they might be busy.
She packed her things, grabbed her headphones, and prepared to go to work.
Colleagues passing by quietly gave her a thumbs up, though some gave her strange looks. She calmly met everyone's gazes, walked into the radar room, and handed over her shift to her colleagues.
When it was her turn to rest, her neck was a little stiff.
She stretched her neck, picked up her phone, and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch. When Lu Xiaomeng was busy, she was too lazy to go to the airport to eat alone.
The food in the cafeteria is pretty good. Although it doesn't taste as good as home-cooked meals, it's nutritionally balanced.
She ate her millet porridge and turned on her phone. The "Blue Sky Guide" group was also discussing the apology letter, and there were several messages tagging her. She didn't rush to click on them to read them, but first clicked on the reply from Xiang Yun.
Xiang Yun: Okay, wait for me to come back.
"Getting him to apologize publicly is your skill. Gu Xing enjoys this kind of excitement. He'll help with small favors; don't worry about it."
Gu Xing asked me, "How did you know I have a 747? What were you talking about?"
