0001 Airport
"Ladies and gentlemen, our plane has arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport..."
Inside the cabin, an announcement came over the loudspeaker that the plane had landed.
Wearing wireless earphones, Song Ning slumped over, idly watching the scenery rushing past the window. Only when the scene froze and most of the passengers had left the cabin did Song Ning leisurely put away his earphones and slowly stand up.
"Let me help you carry it," came a clear, gentle voice from behind.
Song Ning didn't turn around, but reached out to touch the suitcase on the luggage rack.
A hand brushed against the side of Song Ning's reddish-brown hair, as if to show the owner's utmost sincerity.
Song Ning deftly hooked the handle and easily removed the suitcase before the hand could touch it.
Unable to reach the luggage, he reluctantly lowered his hand.
Song Ning lifted the suitcase handle, glanced at the man standing in the back seat, and said indifferently, "No need."
The man was young, looked like a student, and was dressed in designer clothes. His appearance was striking and stood out in the crowd.
But Song Ning wasn't interested in him. She pulled her suitcase and walked out of the cabin.
"You're a student from Changqing, right? A freshman here for military training? What's your major? Excuse me, I overheard some of your conversation with the woman sitting next to you. I'm also a freshman from Changqing." The young man followed Song Ning, chattering on and on.
As Song Ning walked on the covered bridge, she felt that the people around her were noisy.
The wheels of the suitcases rolled impatiently on the boardwalk.
"Your suitcase doesn't look very good." The young man's tone was sarcastic, with a sense of superiority. But after glancing at the brand logo on the suitcase, he sneered, "Rimowa? If I hadn't seen the logo, I would have thought you bought it for 500 or 600 yuan."
Song Ning frowned.
"My name is Shen Jiayu, what's yours?"
Sink?
Song Ning was a beat slow in lifting her foot, and inexplicably, another man with the same surname "Chen" popped into her mind.
Shen Jia looked at Song Ning, who ignored him, and said with a hint of resentment, "You're pretty cool. I asked you so many questions, and you didn't answer a single one. Are you just pretending to be aloof?"
The rolling sound stopped abruptly.
Song Ning stopped and turned her head to look at the other person coldly.
Shen Jiayu seemed surprised that Song Ning would suddenly stop, and quickly halted his steps.
"What? You're finally talking to me?"
Song Ning is 171cm tall. She wore a cropped tight-fitting t-shirt and black high-waisted pants, with a crossbody bag and a silver waist chain on her waistband. Her excellent figure proportions were enhanced by the outfit, making her look even taller.
She glanced at the man beside her, who seemed uncomfortable under her gaze, and retorted in a cool and indifferent voice, "Since you can tell I don't want to talk to you, shouldn't you be sensible and stay away from me?"
"No, I'm quite interested in you." Shen Jia seemed even more intrigued after receiving the response, adopting a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude.
Song Ning glanced at him, coldly tossed out a "whatever," and continued walking towards the exit.
"What's your WeChat ID? Let's add each other on WeChat. After all, we're alumni now," Shen Jiayu quickly followed up, continuing to ask.
Shen Jia comes from a well-off family and is outstanding in appearance. She has been an excellent student since childhood and enjoys various accolades from the outside world because of her excellent grades.
As he grew older, he received many love letters and expressions of affection from girls, which made him very confident in himself, believing that there was no girl he couldn't win over.
But this time, he really suffered a setback.
He originally intended to use the act of helping with the luggage to improve his impression of the hot girl in front of him, and then take the opportunity to ask for her WeChat. However, he did not expect that the girl's personality was even more difficult to deal with than her appearance. Not only did she refuse his help, but she also seemed to have no interest in him at all!
This hurt his strong sense of self-esteem, but it also fueled his desire to conquer her.
"I refuse to believe I can't win you over," Shen Jiayu thought to herself.
But the truth is, on the way to the exit, apart from that brief conversation, Song Ning didn't say another word to him, as if she treated him as if he were invisible.
Just as Shen Jia was about to ask for his WeChat ID again, The Weeknd's "Die for You" started playing.
——Even though we're going...
As soon as the phone rang, Song Ning answered it as quickly as possible.
Shen Jiayu, who was standing to the side, looked at Song Ning, whose entire demeanor had changed, and seemed to suddenly realize something, and shut her mouth sullenly.
"Have you arrived yet?" The voice on the phone was gentle, with a hint of a soft laugh.
Song Ning tightened her grip on the lever; even a simple phone call made her heart race.
"Yes, I'm heading towards the exit." Her voice was calm, completely different from her heart rate, with only a slight tremor at the end revealing her excitement.
The other person hummed in agreement and said softly, "I'll wait for you at Exit T2."
Worried that she might have misheard, Song Ning concealed her joy and asked again, "You're at the airport?"
"Mm," Shen Yuxiu responded softly.
Song Ning hung up the phone, grabbed her luggage, and rushed toward the exit.
"Hey, why are you running?"
Shen Jiayu's voice was left behind.
Her flamboyant hair flew in the sunlight streaming into the room, lifting the edge of her white sneakers as the wheels glided almost silently across the floor, speeding forward.
Song Ning had visited this city many times because her adoptive father, Shen Xiaoyue, had been transferred here to work a few years ago, so she would come here for a short stay whenever she had a holiday.
Two years ago, it was the last time she came here before she turned 19. She came to see where he worked and to see a place where she could get closer to him.
In order to have a legitimate reason to be by his side, starting from her second year of high school, she only slept 4 hours a day and used a high-intensity study schedule to improve her grades from the top 100 in the city to the top 10 in the province.
And now, her wish has finally come true. The person she has been longing for every night is right in front of her, smiling gently at her.
The crowd around her seemed like flowing lines, quickly passing by, but only he remained so clear.
With her neat short hair and a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses on her handsome and refined face, her eyes beneath the glasses were like the calm yet beautiful lake in Jiuzhaigou. One glance was enough to make her fall in love for life.
He was wearing a fine white shirt, with a dark tie and cufflinks neatly tied, his hands in his trouser pockets, standing quietly outside the gate, as if he had been waiting for her for a very long time.
Her flight was delayed by more than two hours. When did he arrive? Did he have to wait a long time?
Song Ning's chest heaved rapidly, unable to tell whether it was from the lack of oxygen after running or from her heart racing when she saw him.
She pulled her suitcase, approaching him step by step.
Just like when he was 7 years old, he gradually approached her.
