Chapter 95 I want more attention and favor
At nine o'clock the next morning, the two took a bus to the airport, changed buses twice, had a fast food meal at the station at noon, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, boarded a flight to the capital.
This was Lin Jingzhe's first time on a plane, and also Gu Nan's first time. She chose a university in the province for college, and after graduation she went to some cities in other provinces for job applications, but she mostly took the high-speed rail.
Like Lin Jingzhe, she was a curious baby and could stare at a cloud next to the wing for half a moment.
But after watching for a long time, he got tired. Gu Nan adjusted the chair, wrapped himself tightly with a blanket, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Gu Nan was asleep, Lin Jingzhe turned slightly to the side and gently placed his head on her shoulder. The faint citrus scent immediately filled his nostrils.
The sky outside the window is vast and boundless, and the rolling mountains are endless, collected in the small window, like a piece of crystal inlaid with mountains, rivers and the world, clear and beautiful.
Starting tomorrow, he will usher in a new life. He will soon be able to get rid of those wanton stares and walk among the crowd like a normal person.
Lin Jingzhe was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all. He looked at the scenery for a while, then looked at Gu Nan, and secretly kissed the hair that fell on her shoulders, just like the first time he kissed her, enjoying the thrilling joy.
"squeak--!"
A sharp and piercing mechanical sound suddenly rang in his mind. Gu Nan, who was wandering in his sleep, was startled and woke up suddenly, sitting up straight.
Lin Jingzhe, who was about to do something bad, was startled by her and his voice changed. "Sister? What's wrong with you?"
Gu Nan rubbed his ears and looked around. He found that the people around him were still sleeping or playing, and did not show any abnormality. The plane was also very stable and did not even encounter a small air current.
She breathed a sigh of relief, "I had a nightmare and was scared."
It was the first time that Lin Jingzhe saw her look so frightened and uneasy. He was a little worried. "What kind of dream was it? Are you okay?"
Gu Nan rolled up the blanket again and said tiredly, "It's okay, I'll sleep a little longer."
After saying that, he closed his eyes, turned his head and fell asleep again.
When she was first awakened, she thought the plane had broken down and was almost scared to death. However, she decided not to tell Lin Jingzhe about this as it was too creepy.
"System?" Gu Nan shouted in his mind.
Except for the fact that it appeared during the first three days of the storyline, it had been dormant for the next few months. It took her a while to remember that she was still bound to this thing.
[Host, the shield suddenly failed and has been sent back for repair.]
As if to express apology, it added two laughs: [Sorry, I scared you, hey, hey hey...]
Gu Nan: “…”
She knew that the sound that resounded through her soul and overturned the top of her head could not be produced by an ordinary thing.
She was so frightened that she couldn't sleep, so she just chatted with it.
"What is the jammer for? Why did it suddenly fail?"
"The jammer is supposed to block signals, so I'm not sure why it's ineffective. Perhaps it's broken from years of neglect." The system said uncertainly.
As a new controller who has just started working, there should be no parts damage, but if it is broken, it is broken. We can only wait for the repair results to find out the cause.
Gu Nan raised an eyebrow. "It's been in disrepair for a long time? How many hosts have you led?"
The system felt that her tone was not right. After thinking about it, it felt that she was questioning her own ability. It was a little unhappy, but this was not the time to show weakness, so it said seriously:
[There are more than you can imagine. Host, I have been awarded the title of Excellent System for many consecutive years. Your little tricks cannot escape my sharp eyes.]
Gu Nan was not stupid, so how could he not hear the change in its attitude? But he was not sure whether it was feeling guilty or offended, so he put the subject aside for the time being.
Then he asked, "Will the failure of the shield affect the mission?"
How would it know? This was the first time it encountered such a situation.
The system was panicked, but its mouth remained calm: [No.]
Gu Nan was relieved that it wouldn't happen, and asked again: "Is this task almost completed?"
The system decided to stick to its aloof attitude: [I will remind the host when the task is completed, host, don't worry.]
There was nothing more to say at this point. Gu Nan changed his posture, opened his eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Lin Jingzhe fell asleep with his head tilted towards her, but he had nothing to lean on and slept very uncomfortably.
Gu Nan sat a little closer so that he could rest his head on his shoulder.
The plane landed at five in the evening.
Gu Nan and Lin Jingzhe followed the crowd out of the airport. From a distance, they saw someone holding a pick-up sign at the door with their two names printed on it.
As soon as I approached, the other party came forward to greet me warmly, "Is this Sister Xiao Gu and Brother Jingzhe? Hello, I'm Jingchun's assistant. He hasn't finished his work yet, so I'll take you two to the hotel to rest first."
He drove over. He was a good driver and had a cheerful personality. We talked and laughed along the way and introduced himself clearly.
He said his name was Yi Pingbo, he was 26 years old, and he had been in the industry for several years. He also said that Lin Jingchun was very kind and upright, and that they usually got along like brothers. He also said that Lin Jingchun worked very hard, going to bed in the early hours of the morning and getting up before dawn the next day. His teachers also praised him for his diligence and eagerness to learn.
As he was talking, he mentioned that he had already booked dinner for them, and they could eat together after Lin Jingchun finished filming. Today was a special day, so he didn't have to eat boiled vegetables.
Yi Pingbo spread out Lin Jingchun's work and life over the past few months in front of them like a scroll. It was hard, bitter, but also a source of pride.
Finally, he said, "It's not easy to be in this industry. The requirements for body shape and condition are no less than those of celebrities. I get so busy that I don't even have a chance to sleep in bed."
"Since Sister Xiao Gu and Brother Jingzhe are here this time, why not stay for a while before leaving? Or maybe you can just move to the capital. The company is here, and Jingchun usually stays in the capital when he's free."
Gu Nan sat in the back row and listened silently, knowing that most of these words were spoken to her. Lin Jingchun had not been home for three months, and Yi Pingbo was trying hard to save their precarious love.
Gu Nan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Yi Pingbo looked at her again and again in the rearview mirror, and his hesitant look was very interesting.
Gu Nan tilted his head to look out the window. The prosperity of the international metropolis was unquestionable, with hustle and bustle of traffic and flashing neon lights. The small new town looked like a suburb in front of the capital.
Lin Jingzhe also looked out the window, feeling half dead and half restless inside.
His brother's excellence far exceeded his imagination. His behavior of playing games day and night to catch up and make money seemed to be immediately devalued in front of his brother. He was frustrated, and his restless mind calmed down as if a basin of cold water was poured on it.
But the bustling metropolis and the prosthetic limbs that allow him to walk on his legs again make him unable to help but ignite hope for the future.
If he becomes better and stronger, will he get more attention and favor?
