Chapter 20 "Girls tend to be insecure."

The second officer sitting in the observer's seat today, also known as the second pilot, is in his twenties. He joined Central South Airlines through a major reshuffle.

I joined the airline's recruitment after graduating from university, and I was about the same age as Li when he joined the training.

At this time, Li Fuzheng was already a young captain with more than 5,000 hours of flight time. He wanted to be promoted to captain, but he still had a lot of hurdles to overcome.

I was envious and a little bit impressed by Li Fuzheng's efforts.

"Brother Zheng...you're asking me?"

"Um."

Li Fuzheng suddenly remembered that just before takeoff, the co-pilot had been sending messages on his mobile phone.

I didn't expect him to ask me this question. The second mate immediately answered him, "Yes, Brother Zheng, you know our business. We are always flying in the sky and disappear for several hours."

"Girls are especially prone to feeling insecure. They always quarrel with me because they are afraid that I will do something wrong..."

Talking about his own love history, the second mate started to talk nonstop: "So she made an agreement with me that I had to send her a message when I took off and landed, so that she would know what I was doing."

The co-pilot laughed as he listened: "It's still more interesting to see how others talk about love. My wife is too lazy to even let me send her messages now."

Li Fuzheng drank the mineral water that the flight attendant at seat No. 3 had just brought in, his eyes fixed on the clouds outside the window, as if he was thinking about something.

Is this what you want?

In the past, all his attention was focused on flying, and he lacked concern for the things around him and had no interest in meddling in other people's affairs.

I had never been in love and didn't know how to talk about love. I went abroad to learn to fly after graduating from high school. I was only surrounded by fellow students and was not good at dealing with intimate relationships.

So Meng Liyue, will she feel insecure?

This girl doesn't seem to care much...

During this flight to Guangzhou, although the weather report was relatively good when we took off, the images reflected by the onboard radar became somewhat severe after we approached Guangzhou airspace, with the screen full of purple and red, which made people feel irritated.

Li Fuzheng appeared calm, contacted the Guangzhou district dispatch, tried to avoid bad weather for a while, and finally decided to make an emergency landing in Shenzhen.

Before the thunderstorm ended, all aircraft in the entire Baiyun Airport area were unable to land.

Just after landing and completing the off-plane inspection, the second officer took out his cell phone and started texting his girlfriend, mumbling, "It seems I can't go back today..."

The co-pilot next to Li Fuzheng had a calm expression, but he was also sending messages, probably reporting the situation to his family.

Li Fuzheng was leaning back and his fingers suddenly felt itchy.

It seems like he has nothing to do.

He is obviously a married man.

Li Fuzheng simply took out his cell phone. He had never done such a thing before. He opened the conversation box with Meng Liyue and the last message was from several days ago.

After a little thought, he finally figured it out.

"Flying to Guangzhou, making an alternate landing in Shenzhen."

After typing and sending it, Li Fuzheng's brows raised a little, and his irritable mood caused by the emergency landing seemed to be relieved.

He did not carefully distinguish where the emotional fluctuations came from.

After getting off the plane, the entire crew went to the hotel cooperating with the airline to rest and wait for notification of further arrangements.

They are basically all based at the Hecheng base of Central China Airlines, so when they fly to other places, if they have to stay overnight, they will stay in a hotel.

Pilots and flight attendants do not have round-trip flights every day, and everyone is actually accustomed to this lifestyle.

"Let's go out and have some Cantonese food later... Brother Zheng, are you coming?"

Li Fuzheng said "hmm" nonchalantly, still looking down at his phone.

What is Meng Liyue doing today? She hasn't replied to my message yet.

The phone was quieter than ever before, and he suddenly lost his appetite.

I even thought about the WeChat message I saw last night before I carried her back to the master bedroom... What a coincidence, her leader also invited her to eat Cantonese cuisine.

Li Fuzheng had already promised the second mate and kept his promise. He had dinner and returned to the hotel. It was still early, so he leaned against the headboard of the bed, his eyes still fixed on his mobile phone. Just as he was about to call up the dialing interface, a call came in.

He frowned and answered the call.

Ning Yixu was still nonchalant: "Come out for dinner?"

"No."

"...Are you still angry? I promise to be polite to your wife next time I see her, okay?"

Li Fu Zheng Yu Diao Lazy: "I'm not angry, I'm in Shenzhen and can't come."

"Is that so..."

"You're free?"

"As for me, I have nothing to do anyway, so why should I be idle?"

Li Fuzheng gave him some advice: "Go find Qi Zhi."

"Qi Zhi is busy training all day. I heard from my family that he has an important test. If he passes it, he will be able to fly 20 times... Since this test is so important, I won't bother him."

"It's no use for you to bother."

Qi Zhi is also a person who has enough passion for airplanes and will not be affected by the outside world at critical moments.

Li Fuzheng lowered his eyes, his mind moved slightly, and the words that suddenly came out of his mouth surprised even himself: "Since you are free, why don't you go to Cuiyuan..."

Master Ning asked in a puzzled tone: "What are you doing there?"

"never mind."

He took it back immediately.

At that moment, his thoughts were probably in a mess, and he actually wanted Ning Yixu to go and see if Meng Liyue was having dinner with Director Mu when she didn't reply to his message.

Even if they were having a meal, that was no problem, he had no right to interfere.

But the feeling of not receiving a reply was complicated enough, and the frustration was heavy in his chest. Li Fuzheng couldn't help but wonder why she agreed to marry him.

In addition to dealing with the elders...

He thought of what his co-pilot said during dinner today: "My wife now tells everyone she meets that it's good to marry a pilot, who doesn't come home every day and only gives money."

Especially when flying international flights, sometimes you may not see anyone for a week or two.

Could it be that Meng Liyue chose him for this reason?

Li Fu Zheng touched the base of his teeth with the tip of his tongue and laughed at his own imagination. What was he thinking about?

It doesn't matter. The purpose of marriage is to save trouble.

At around 7:00 p.m., Li Fuzheng's crew received news that the weather in Guangzhou had improved and that Zhongnan Flight 9712 would take off in two hours.

Finally we landed in Guangzhou, took a short rest, and then continued our flight back to Chengdu.

It was already three in the morning when I finished my work within the maximum working period of the day.

When he got home, Li Fuzheng opened the door and instinctively went to turn on the light, but he saw that the floor lamp in the living room was on.

Meng Liyue should be asleep. This lamp is probably left for him?

Li Fuzheng put down the flight case very gently, with the corners of his mouth curled up inadvertently.

The next day, Meng Liyue came out of the bedroom yawning, dazed, and bumped into someone.

She shook her body and woke up immediately from her sleepiness.

"...Are you going to the battle?"

The man put his fingertips on her waist, and when she stood up, he took his hand back, stared at her and asked directly, "Why didn't you reply to my message yesterday?"
