If I really miss it, then I might have no choice but to go to Beidu.
This was the only solution they could think of before sinking.
"Only business class and first class tickets are still available."
Shen Qian strongly suspected that the seemingly respectable ticket seller had seen through his eagerness and was lying to him, but Shen Qian had no proof.
However, in any case, it seems that spending those five thousand wasn't too unjust.
Because Ding Yi smiled.
This girl, who is always aloof and cold, rarely smiles, let alone smiles in such an extremely radiant way.
Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, the peach blossoms and the faces of the people reflected each other's redness.
A line of ancient poetry inexplicably flashed through Shen Qian's mind... uh, no, it seems there are two lines.
“Shen Qian, you can be quite silly sometimes.” Shen Qian, who was lost in thought, heard Ding Yi’s whisper, “...but I’m happy about it.”
Looking at the girl whose eyes were clear as water yet rippling with subtle waves, Shen Qian felt he should do something.
So Shen Qian went up to her and hugged her.
You still don't have the guts...
Shen Qian despised himself.
But such a public embrace was clearly too much for Ding Yi. She stiffened slightly, then softened and let Shen Qian hold her quietly.
Sunlight streamed down, and the airport was teeming with people. Many turned their heads to take photos, but they avoided looking at the girl's face, focusing instead on her blushing, beautiful profile and the golden tips of her hair.
Regardless, this moment is timeless.
...
After an unknown amount of time, as Lin Xiaoqian's coughing grew increasingly heavy, Shen Qian finally reluctantly released Ding Yi.
"I'm leaving," Ding Yi said softly.
"Hmm, is it already late?" Shen Qian glanced at the time; it was already past ten o'clock.
“The flight is delayed, but there’s still time.” Ding Yi shook his head and pulled his coat tighter. “You should cancel your ticket… Even if you go to Beidu, I won’t have time. I’ve been on leave for too long this time, and a lot of things have been delayed.”
Can I get a refund for my plane ticket?
Chen Qian, who had never flown before, perked up and nodded, saying, "You'll see me when the autumn air is crisp and clear."
"good."
Ding waved goodbye to the two, turned and walked into the boarding gate, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
"Tsk tsk, I still don't understand what Ding Yi saw in you." Lin Xiaoqian looked on with a dismay for Ding Yi.
"The special remedy might be a bit difficult to produce," Shen Qian said calmly.
"You and Xiao Ding are a perfect match, a match made in heaven, may you grow old together."
"I'll give it to you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Lin Xiaoqian gave a polite curtsy.
"Was the flight really delayed?" Shen Qian was eager to know if it was really just a coincidence.
"What do you think?" Lin Xiaoqian rolled her eyes first, then, thinking that she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her for the time being, she added, "Actually, Xiao Ding's plane ticket was for 11 o'clock."
Shen Qian paused for a moment, then fell silent.
"So, if you ever dare to wrong Xiao Ding in the future, you'll be struck by lightning!"
Lin Xiaoqian hummed in response, and seeing that she was almost out of the airport terminal, she waved her hand and said, "I took the day off today, so I won't be going to school. I'll take the bus over there. Goodbye!"
After saying goodbye to Lin Xiaoqian, Shen Qian went to cancel his plane ticket. Although he was still charged a 10% handling fee, he was already very satisfied.
Upon exiting the airport, Shen Qian suddenly caught sight of an acquaintance, or rather, someone he barely knew.
"Mr. Ding, what a coincidence, are you here to see someone off too?"
Shen Qian took the initiative to greet the middle-aged man in a well-fitting suit who was parked in a long Wuling sedan by the roadside.
Ding Anbai looked at Shen Qian with a complicated expression, and the unreadable look in his eyes made Shen Qian feel a little uneasy.
"Mr. Ding?"
Shen Qian increasingly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Ding Anbai, but he didn't know exactly what it was.
Ding Anbai opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He put out his cigarette, turned around and got into the car.
Seeing the car window rolled up quickly, Chen Qian could only swallow back words like, "Are you going to the city too? Yeah, I'm going that way too."
Watching the Wuling luxury car speed away, Shen Qian recalled the bunch of inexplicable things Ding Anbai had said to him that day, and finally came to a meticulous conclusion.
The other party seems to have a negative impression of him.
"Do they think I'm some kind of sycophant?"
Shen Qian shook his head, too lazy to care. Anyway, he no longer had any intention of selling the prescription, so there was no point in trying to build a good relationship with the other party.
...It's a bit of a shame that I didn't get a free ride.
...
Inside the extended Wuling sedan, Ding Anbai withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror and shook his head.
It's been so long since I've held Xiao Yi...
"Mr. Ding, is there anything I can do for you?" Ah Wei, the secretary in the passenger seat, asked proactively, observing the situation.
"Not yet," Ding Anbai shook his head. "How many young people can withstand the test of distance and time?"
After a pause, Ding Anbai, not wanting to elaborate on the matter, instead asked, "How is the research at the Medical Institute going?"
"I was just about to report this to you," Awei said. "Master Wei's research is said to have made a breakthrough, and we expect to have samples ready soon."
"That's good. Keep an eye on this matter again."
Ding Anbai's expression softened, and he rubbed his temples, saying, "This year's competition for 'Body Tempering Elixir' is exceptionally fierce. Hmph, some people are trying to crush us with so-called imported products from abroad, so we'll give them a good slap in the face."
