After checking the air tickets, Chu Li found that the end of October and the beginning of November were not the peak tourist seasons in Turkey, so the airfare was still within a reasonable range. So, in front of Zhu Chuan, he called Liang Chonglang and asked for leave to go to Türkiye to meet Herman and let him see what "sincerity" meant.
Chu Li was on the phone while reading the travel notes on Zhuchuan's laptop. After reading them, he finally concluded that he had to take a leave of absence for about 15 days... When Liang Chonglang heard this, even a fool could tell that this guy was doing his job but still wanted to take a public-funded trip. So he wanted to say a few more words, but before he could open his mouth, Chu Li stopped him with a sentence, "I don't know if it's too late. Gu Baizhi might have already arrived at □□ (transfer point)."
Liang Chonglang, the troublemaker, had to agree to Chu Li's request for paid "field work" with tears in his eyes, and even paid for round-trip air tickets between the two countries... After all the haggling, Chu Li put down the phone contentedly and looked up at Zhuochuan - if there was a tail, it would have already shown its shadow by now, with a look of wanting credit on his face.
Chu Chuan: “…I don’t want to go.”
For a otaku like Hirokawa, the most fun place in the world is his bed at home. Whenever he goes out to travel, it is always a health-preserving trip for the elderly at a hot spring resort hotel like the one he took with Jiang Yucheng last time - the activity range does not exceed one kilometer in diameter of the hotel.
I took the computer and looked at the travel notes that Chu Li had found. There were flights, taxis, and even overnight buses. My face turned green at the time...
My first reaction was: Herman can choose whoever he wants, I don’t want to go.
Chu Li knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw his expression: "I have to go even if I don't want to... Teacher, you are really worrying me. As a man who just proposed to you, if I really marry you, will my honeymoon trip just mean taking Er Gou to the gate of the community, taking a walk and buying a watermelon?"
"..." Zhu Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't the whole point of the marriage 'you marry me'? As for where you get married, where you go after marriage, how you get married... are those the main points?"
Chu Li raised her hands to cover her ears: "My ears are about to be blinded by your masculine remarks."
Zhuchuan: “…”
What Chu Chuan was thinking was, getting married is really troublesome, no wonder I am still single, it turns out that it is God’s will (……).
While thinking about this, the man was determined to marry only one girl in his life and stay faithful to her until death.
From the current perspective, getting married is such a troublesome thing that it costs one's life. It is enough to do it once in a lifetime...On the other hand, if it were not for the person in front of me, I probably wouldn't want to do it even once.
Thinking of this, Zhuchuan was stunned for a moment, and came to a simple and rough conclusion - he reached out and pulled down Chu Li's hand that was covering her ears, held her hand and sighed: "Banana Man, I can really say that I like you very much."
Chu Li: “What?”
While Chu Li was completely confused and had no idea where his emotion came from, Zhu Chuan was moved like a dog by himself.
the next day.
From the moment he decided to go to Türkiye to visit Mr. Herman in person, Chu Li took action.
As soon as the sun rose, Chu Li took all the documents of herself and Zhu Chuan to a travel agency to prepare for visas.
Then, he returned to the Yuanyue Newspaper's editorial department and arranged work for the newcomers under him. He assigned Suo Heng, Ah Gui, and all the authors Q who needed to submit manuscripts next month to the newcomer Ah Xian. Ah Xian was a girl who had worked in a newspaper before and was the most experienced of all the newcomers.
The last and most important step is to intimidate the authors, telling them not to bully newcomers and to submit all the manuscripts that are due... She was just out on a field trip abroad, she was not dead. With the advanced communication technology nowadays, if the editor complained, her screams for life would reach the battlefield in the next second.
In response, Ah Gui said:
[The Ghost Behind You: Why do you and your blue friends not let go of your single dog authors? ]
[The monkey's hired navy: Because I will come back, and Daddy is still your Daddy. ]
[The ghost behind you: ...]
Under the pressure from Chu Li, Yuanyue Society also actively contacted Mr. Herman's agent. The agent was somewhat surprised that Yuanyue Society was going to send a writer to visit them, but at the same time, he gladly accepted the offer and expressed his welcome.
That's how the whole thing was settled.
It took half a month to get the visa, and in the blink of an eye, the day of departure arrived.
…
The night before last.
Chu Chuan is still making his final struggle.
When Chuli was walking around behind him to pick up the luggage, the man was still sitting cross-legged on the sofa typing away. He was typing happily and occasionally raised his head to look at Chuli, who was sitting on the sofa not far away and folding his underwear and stuffing it into the bag. Ergouzi was lying beside her, wagging his tail and looking at her eagerly...
This scene made Zhuchuan a little dazed.
As if sensing the man's gaze, the latter asked without even looking up, "Zhuchuan, where are your dark blue sports pants that look like a zebra?"
"The yard is drying... Do you know how expensive those pants are? Why did I make them sound like high school uniforms?"
Chu Li ignored him, stood up, and walked to the balcony. Er Gouzi jumped off the sofa and followed her... The man paused for a moment, raised his head and glanced at the lackey, Da Gou: "Just follow her. She won't want you tomorrow."
Er Gouzi stuck out his tongue and looked back at Zhu Chuan. Chu Li slapped the ground with a clothes fork and said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of a child. Do you understand what's going on?"
Zhuochuan: "I am telling the truth."
Chu Li walked back to the room with Zhu Chuan's clothes in her arms, and found that the man had stopped typing. He was sitting with his computer on his knees, watching her busying around with his chin propped up... Chu Li folded the clothes and stuffed them into his suitcase, then turned around and looked into the man's eyes: "Are you free?"
"Busy." The man said lazily, "But I just wanted to take some time to see you."
Chu Li was slightly stunned when he heard this, glared at him, blushed slightly, and muttered: "...Don't be a fool."
Zhuochuan looked at her face and said, "I used to pack my own things, so I was very annoyed about going out for travel. Now I think if I can sit here with my legs crossed and let someone arrange everything for me, it seems acceptable to go out reluctantly."
...I know that a dog can't spit out ivory. Chu Li's blush faded instantly, and she threw Zhu Chuan's underwear into the box: "You just need a maid!"
Zhuo Chuan: "No, I won't look at Filipino maids with eyes full of love. Do you see my eyes? They are full of love."
Chu Li: "…………Mom is mentally retarded."
After a flurry of activity that night to pack their suitcases, they both went to bed early for their flight the next morning. In addition, in order to really go to bed and fall asleep instead of "doing something while it was still early", Chu Li even went back to his own room to sleep.
Zhuchuan and I were walking upstairs and downstairs respectively, and it took us half an hour to say goodnight to each other on WeChat.
The next morning.
Chu Li and Zhu Chuan drove to the airport in advance, packed up the dog and sent it to Zhu Chuan's parents. The dog in the cage looked aggrieved, sniffing around with its long mouth on the cage. Chu Li reached out and touched the dog's nose, then glanced at Zhu Chuan who was standing next to him filling out a form: "Why do I feel like I did something very bad?"
"That's right," the man said without looking up as he signed his name on the data sheet, "whether it's sending Er Gouzi on a plane or insisting on taking me to Turkey..."
Chu Li: "..."
Zhuochuan: "You are committing a crime."
Chu Li: "Just catch me."
Zhuchuan threw away the pen, stuffed the form to the staff, and dragged Chuli away by the neck with his elbow... Halfway through the walk, Zhuchuan suddenly felt kidney deficiency and wanted to go to the toilet. But Chuli took their passports and luggage to get boarding passes first. They also caught up with the "rush hour" early in the morning, and the line for the flight was so long that it was endless.
Chu Li stood at the end of the line, tiptoeing to see how many people were left. At this moment, he heard a familiar deep male voice at the check-in counter closest to him say, "Go to Istanbul."
Chu Li was stunned at first, and his first reaction was which guy was going to Istanbul like us?
I looked over and saw a tall man wearing a duckbill cap and the same casual clothes as Chu Chuan standing in front of the counter. He was holding a red suitcase in one hand and weighing it. He said to the girl standing in front of him, "Why is your suitcase so heavy?"
The girl had no makeup on, and wore a mask and a hat. She was so obsessed with being an idol that she wrapped herself up like a terrorist. She glanced at the man and said ruthlessly, "What do straight men like you know?"
Man: "You're only going for a few days, how much do you bring with you?"
Girl: "Five pairs of shoes and three bags."
The man was a little upset after hearing this: "Sister, how many days have we been there?"
Girl: "On average, I change a pair of shoes every three days and a bag every five days. Is that too much? That's pitiful enough!"
First ceremony outside the crowd: “…………………………………………………………………………”
…
Ten minutes later.
Zhuochuan walked out of the bathroom with his hands swung and a relaxed look on his face. When he looked up, he saw his girl dragging two boxes and running towards him with a look as if she had seen a ghost.
Zhuchuan: “?”
Zhuochuan: "What's going on? Did you see a ghost?"
…
An hour later.
on the plane.
Chu Li held the boarding pass and was seated in row 35, seat A, while Chu Chuan was seated in row 35, seat B.
When they arrived at the place, they sat down inside with their bag and found that the man was standing motionless in the aisle - Chu Li reached out and pulled at Zhu Chuan's crotch, signaling him to have some public manners and not stand in the middle like a door panel... At this time, the man moved, revealing two neighbors next door. Chu Li bent down and saw Jiang Yucheng and the terrorist Miss Gu Baizhi beside him.
Gu Baizhi's eyes curved up with laughter outside the mask: "Oh, what a coincidence."
Chu Li: "..."
Zhuchuan: “…”
Jiang Yucheng: "..."
Chu Li felt that up to now, there was nothing more fucked up or embarrassing in the world than what was happening right now.
