Xu Xiaoshuai looked up from his work and glanced at his assistant.
His eyes seemed to hold a hint of confusion.
What does Baihe Fire have to do with Harbin? Why can't I buy tickets to go from Harbin to Baihe?
The assistant perfectly understood his unspoken doubts and changed his tone to explain, "Boss Lin is also in Baihe, so... quite a few people from the northern region go to Baihe to find Boss Lin."
Xu Xiaoshuai understood and nodded to indicate that he knew.
Seeing that he had no further instructions, the assistant calmly left the office.
His calm expression completely crumbled once he returned to his seat.
Good morning! After getting off the plane, I can still go to the morning market to find Boss Lin.
Be among the first to eat the vermicelli soup, so you don't delay what happens later.
Perfect!
Oh my god, I'm so happy! I didn't expect that while he was going to Baihe on a business trip, Baihe would release a message to inform Boss Lin that he could set up a stall in Baihe.
Sometimes surprises come too fast, leaving us completely unprepared!
After finishing his work in the office, Xu Xiaoshuai, remembering what his assistant had just said, eagerly took out his phone to search for news about Boss Lin.
Then the first thing that came up was a promotional video for Baihe Culture and Tourism.
The information above includes the exact time and location of Mr. Lin's stall.
The facilities prepared around the restaurant for Mr. Lin's customers are also very complete.
Xu Xiaoshuai was completely bewildered.
This series of actions really baffled him, a native of northern China.
Keep watching videos.
Then his expression became increasingly strange.
The people of Baihe spontaneously offer to drive tourists from other places for free.
The fruits that weren't sold individually at the morning market were all sold one by one to tourists from the south.
There was also a fruit platter...
Each and every one of these things was astonishing to these northerners.
For a moment, Xu Xiaoshuai felt a sense of abandonment and vulnerability.
They've lived in the north for so many years and they've never seen anyone pamper them like this!
In particular, people from other places online are mocking them.
That line, "Your mother doesn't want you anymore!" was truly jarring.
Fortunately, he wasn't from Baihe; he was just a fellow northerner and a little shocked, but he wasn't really on guard.
By 11 p.m., Xu Xiaoshuai and his assistant had rested and headed to the airport to board their plane.
The airport, which wasn't usually very crowded, is now packed and bustling late into the night.
"Wow, so many people!"
The assistant followed behind Xu Xiaoshuai, looking around. At this time of day, there were still many people rushing to catch their flights, and judging from their luggage, they were all tourists heading to Baihe.
It's amazing that Baihe has become so popular during this off-peak season, attracting so many tourists.
They're all from Bailongjiang; they're happy whenever a city becomes popular.
...
After boarding the plane and sitting down in first class, Xu Xiaoshuai first closed his eyes to rest. Then, as the plane took off, he couldn't help but look at the girl next to him who had been studying the Baihe travel guide since boarding the plane.
Her delicate eyebrows and eyes, along with her gentle temperament, gave him a very special feeling.
Are you going to see Boss Lin?
Seeing the girl flipping through a map of the Baihe morning market and the surrounding area, Xu Xiaoshuai tentatively asked.
Upon hearing his words, Xiaoyu immediately looked up at him.
Their eyes met, and the moment they heard "Boss Lin," the distance between them instantly closed.
Xiaoyu was traveling alone and was worried about not having anyone to talk to when she unexpectedly met a companion who seemed to be on his way to see Boss Lin.
"Are you also going to see Boss Lin?"
Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and then she realized that this guy was really tall. Even though he was sitting, she had to look up to talk to him.
Xu Xiaoshuai nodded naturally.
Although he was on a business trip, it didn't conflict with his visit to Boss Lin.
Moreover, he originally planned to go to the morning market to have a bowl of vermicelli soup made by Boss Lin after getting off the plane, and then go back to the hotel to rest.
"Yes, you went to Baihe for tourism?"
"Yes, yes, I saw the news and wanted to go to Baihe. But all the plane tickets to Baihe were sold out, so I bought a ticket to Harbin and then transferred to Baihe. It was a bit rushed, but I'll definitely get there in the morning. I'll go find Boss Lin as soon as I get off the plane."
Xiaoyu was so excited that she didn't know where to express it, but when she met Xu Xiaoshuai, she immediately turned into a chatterbox and started talking non-stop.
Xu Xiaoshuai never expected that the quiet and gentle girl would be so energetic and full of vitality in the middle of the night.
In an instant, Xu Xiaoshuai was ignited by Xiaoyu's enthusiasm, ignoring his surroundings and focusing only on Xiaoyu's smiling face as she spoke with great enthusiasm.
Xu Xiaoshuai didn't listen to a word he said.
After Xiaoyu had been talking for a while and hadn't received a reply, she noticed that the person was staring at her intently, his eyes practically glued to her face.
Xiaoyu became uncomfortable speaking.
What are you looking at?
"I'm sorry, this is the first time I've seen someone so energetic. I hope I've offended you."
As Xu Xiaoshuai said this, his eyes remained fixed on Xiaoyu.
The atmosphere between the two instantly became ambiguous.
It was obvious the girl was embarrassed, and Xiao Shuai realized he had been too direct.
Southerners aren't as direct as northerners. Xiao Shuai looked away, smiled, and introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Xu Xiaoshuai, I'm from Harbin. I'm going to Baihe on a business trip. After I get off the plane, I'm going to the morning market to eat the vermicelli soup made by Boss Lin. Do you want to come with me?"
"Have you booked a hotel yet? There are a lot of tourists in Baihe right now, so it might be difficult to book at the last minute."
As soon as Xu Xiaoshuai finished speaking, before Xiaoyu could refuse, he immediately threw out the next sentence.
The important issue of accommodation immediately drew Xiaoyu's attention to it.
"Ah, I didn't book a hotel. I was thinking of having Mr. Lin's vermicelli soup first, and then I'll look for a hotel."
When Xiaoyu saw Boss Lin's message, she was in a panic. How could she possibly plan her trip carefully or book a hotel in advance?
It's already a good thing if you can book a flight, successfully transfer, and arrive in Baihe.
As long as I can eat the vermicelli soup made by Boss Lin, everything else can wait.
"It's alright. I often travel to Baihe for business, and I have memberships at many hotels. I'll ask around for you then."
In just a few words, Xu Xiaoshuai first expressed that the two had the same itinerary, then he was very familiar with Baihe, and he also noticed very carefully that Xiaoyu came in a hurry, which must have been due to inadequate preparation.
This successfully brought the two closer together.
When they got off the plane, the two chatted all the way and exchanged contact information.
We talked about everything from family background to distant relatives, work, and relationships.
The three-hour flight passed quickly as we chatted the entire time.
They felt a connection when they got off the plane, and naturally went to find Boss Lin together.
"Let's go outside. There are local shuttle buses in Baihe that offer free rides to take tourists to the morning market."
Xu Xiaoshuai was worried that bringing the two into the car so soon after they met would cross the line of social distancing, so he had his assistant and the driver go ahead while he accompanied Xiaoyu in a car arranged by locals in Baihe, which would ensure their safety.
Xiaoyu had no objections; on the contrary, she breathed a sigh of relief.
