Chapter 99 With a handsome guy by my side, I'm not sleepy at all
"You've mistaken me for someone else." Xiang Yun took off his gloves and wiped the oil off his hands.
Gu Xing clicked his tongue twice, glancing at the half-plate of shrimp. "Oh dear, I want to eat shrimp too, but unfortunately no one is here to help me peel them."
"Really? Help yourself if you want some." Xiang Yun pushed the box of gloves over.
They ordered two plates of shrimp, which were placed on either side of the table so that neither could eat inconveniently.
“Men are indeed heartless.” Gu Xing shook his head, pulled out two gloves and handed them to Luo Xiao. “Come on, we’ll have to do it ourselves.”
Luo Xiao looked at Xiang Yun and smiled enigmatically.
Xu Songning ate happily. Xiang Yun helped her reach the food she couldn't reach. During the meal, she only needed to call out to Brother Yun to solve 80% of the problems.
She had almost finished eating, so she used her gloves to peel shrimp as a snack, and casually stuffed a few peeled, whole shrimp into Yun-ge's bowl.
Gu Xing and Luo Xiao chatted about work, occasionally interjecting with Gu Xing's private displays of affection for Luo Xiao.
Xu Songning listened intently from the side. She had no intention of probing into Gu Xing's private affairs, but she was very interested in his complete stranger.
I heard Gu Xing said her hobby is racing cars, that's so cool!
There are also female captains in the fleet. Every time Xu Songning sees a female captain at the airport, he can't help but take a few more glances.
The female captain was both cool and beautiful, with an extraordinary temperament and top-notch flying skills. As she walked through the airport with her flight case, she was the most eye-catching presence.
As Gu Xing and Luo Xiao chatted, the conversation drifted to people they knew, inevitably leading to Luo Xiao's brother. Gu Xing, as his friend, rarely managed to contact him these days.
"How is Luo Zheng's injury recovering? I sent him a message, but he didn't reply," Gu Xing asked. He wasn't very familiar with Luo Xiao; the one he was truly familiar with was Luo Xiao's brother, Luo Zheng.
Luo Xiao looked somber and rubbed his temples. "Actually, since my brother returned to China, we haven't been in much contact. When my mother came back to take care of him, she was the one who told me about his situation."
"Being unable to fly is a huge blow to him, and you're his younger brother. If he stays in Qatar and sees you in your uniform flying, he'll definitely feel bad. It's good that he's back in China. China has advanced medical technology, and his leg will definitely recover. We don't only have flying as an option. I was even thinking of opening a Peking duck restaurant in Beijing after I retire," Gu Xing said, trying to sound casual.
This was a topic that couldn't be avoided, and Luo Xiao had many things on his mind. Actually, talking to them made him feel a little more relaxed.
Some things must be said to avoid overwhelming oneself.
Xu Songning was confused. What exactly happened to Luo Xiao's brother?
She wasn't familiar with Luo Xiao at all, and she wasn't sure if she could ask him about it, or if asking would offend him. So, Xu Songning nudged Xiang Yun with the leg next to him.
Xiang Yun felt a warm sensation on his knees and thighs, and he looked at Xu Songning with a questioning expression.
"Do you know him? Luo Xiao's brother," Xu Songning asked in a low voice.
Xiang Yun shook his head, just about to ask her why she was so interested in Luo Xiao's affairs, when he saw her winking at him frantically and secretly pointing at Gu Xing with her finger.
I wanted to pretend I didn't see it, but Xu Songning's gaze was so intense.
“I know a famous orthopedic doctor. Is it a fracture? If needed, I can put stitches on it,” Xiang Yun said.
Luo Xiao was quite surprised, not expecting Xiang Yun to participate in their conversation. He didn't shy away from talking about these things, "Thank you for your kindness. My brother didn't just have a simple fracture; he was in a car accident abroad. The other driver was drunk and speeding, and suddenly swerved the steering wheel, colliding head-on with my brother. His leg... the situation is quite complicated. My mother found him the best medical team and has also prepared a rehabilitation plan."
"What a pity." Xu Songning said what the other three people present dared not say. The other three were all captains, and this matter was even more profound for them.
A captain in his prime lost the ability to move his legs in a car accident caused entirely by someone else. Even if he recovers, he will not be able to return to his original state and will have no chance of flying a plane again.
He may still be able to drive, but when he does, he will be reminded of the trauma from that time.
A car accident nearly destroyed his proud first half of life and brought him a life of uncertainty in the second half.
"Have faith in modern medical technology. He'll definitely be able to walk again. When you see him tomorrow, please give him my regards. I'm really hoping he can pull himself together," Gu Xing said earnestly.
Luo Xiao had shaved before coming, but there was still a stubble of new green beard on his chin. Combined with his deep-set eyes, he looked rather melancholy.
He had always maintained a strong facade, keeping it a secret until the topic of his brother came up, at which point he dropped his pretense and his weariness became apparent from within.
“Yes, even if I don’t do this line of work, there are still 359 other lines of work I can do.” Xu Songning nodded.
Luo Xiao looked surprised; clearly, his Chinese proficiency, honed from growing up abroad, was insufficient for him to understand this seemingly incorrect proverb.
"What does this mean?" Gu Xing also failed to understand her meaning.
Only Xiang Yun explained for her, "There is an old Chinese saying, 'In every profession, there are outstanding individuals.' The '360 professions' refers to all walks of life. What she meant was that your brother shouldn't limit himself to his major; he can do well in other things too."
"I have to say, this joke is really lame!" Gu Xing shuddered, getting goosebumps all over.
Luo Xiao seemed to understand something. "So that's how it is. I've learned something from that sentence. It's very interesting."
Xu Songning gave Xiang Yun a thumbs up. It turns out that only Xiang Yun truly understands her! And was that really such a cold remark?
After the group finished their meal, Gu Xing instructed the small business owner to deduct the money directly from his membership balance, without giving anyone else a chance to pay.
Luo Xiao closed his wallet. "I'll treat you next time."
"I'll definitely let you treat me. I hope that next time I see you, you can bring us good news about Luo Zheng and wish him a speedy recovery." Gu Xing put his arm around Luo Xiao with one hand and then let go.
"We've finished eating, let's go sing karaoke, let's change venues!" Gu Xing announced, raising his hand.
"Are you sleepy?" Xiang Yun asked Xu Songning, looking down at him.
It was already dark, and a cool breeze was blowing outside.
Xu Songning blinked. "I'm not sleepy. How could I be sleepy with such a handsome guy by my side?"
There are three men here: one has a partner, one is single, and the relationship status of the third is unknown. All of them are good-looking, but she deliberately didn't specify who they were, leaving room for imagination.
"Let's go." Xiang Yun went to get Xu Songning's car, not giving Gu Xing a chance to make a move.
Xu Songning waved to the two pilots, "Captains, I know a good karaoke bar. Just follow our car."
"How come we're the captains? And that's Brother Yun? This doesn't seem right." Gu Xing, tall and strong, leaned his elbow on the Porsche, full of teasing.
Xu Songning blinked and smiled mysteriously.
