Transit in Hawaii
What are the benefits of studying abroad?
There are many options. They can broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge, allowing you to go to other top universities in the world and study under top mentors in various fields.
The door to new knowledge slowly opens in front of you, and you will be exposed to a new world that is completely different from your previous life.
Not to mention that studying abroad on government sponsorship is just becoming popular now, and it is a very good choice for everyone. Only the top talents can get this opportunity.
Jian Jianan could foresee how popular the person who got this quota would be when he returned from his studies.
People who have returned from studying abroad are very popular and every unit is vying for them!
But for Shan Jiqing, even though studying abroad has thousands of advantages, one disadvantage is enough to make him refuse.
That means I will never see Jian Jianan again.
When Shan Jiqing thought about studying abroad for four or five years, during which he would not be able to be with Jian Jianan, he felt a surge of panic in his heart for no reason. He instinctively rejected the opportunity to study abroad.
When Jian Jianan received the task assigned by Xu Jing to persuade Shan Jiqing to study abroad, he was very nervous.
What happened? In her life plan, she had never thought of the path of persuading others to study.
Jian Jianan had only learned about Sun Quan's exhortation to study in his primary school textbooks, and he just regarded this story as a small fable that was both educational and entertaining. Could it be that Jian Jianan was going to act out this scene in person today?
In ancient times, Sun Quan encouraged people to study, and now Jian Jianan encourages people to study. I just don’t know what the difference is between Shan Jiqing and Lu Meng.
Jian Jianan has always been a decisive person, and she knows that it is already early July. If school starts in September, she will have to take into account the time for handling procedures. There is not much time left for Shan Jiqing, at most only a week.
She must persuade Shan Jiqing to change his mind and accept the option of studying abroad within this week.
So, Jian Jianan made an appointment with his classmate from last semester to go out for dinner early the next morning.
It’s better to do it today than to wait for another day. I might as well ask him out tomorrow and talk things out.
The moment Jian Jianan saw Shan Jiqing, she got straight to the point. "What's wrong, Xiaoqing? I heard from my aunt that your advisor highly recommended that you study abroad, and even strongly recommended that you pursue further studies in your field at an American university. He's been trying to connect you with top advisors. Your parents and elders are all worried sick about this, but you, the person involved, have no intention of leaving. Can you tell me why?"
Shan Jiqing originally wanted Jianan to eat the cheesecake he ordered as soon as possible. The two of them had an appointment in a Western restaurant today. Shan Jiqing knew that Jianan liked cheese products, so he specially ordered this cake for her.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't appreciate it at all and started asking me these questions as soon as I came.
After hearing this question, Shan Jiqing's eyelashes trembled, and she raised her eyes and looked at Jian Jianan steadily.
"You, you called me here today just to talk about this?" He was a little disappointed.
For some reason, Jian Jianan sensed a hint of guilt in Shan Jiqing's eyes, and felt as if he had done something wrong.
But she thought of the task Aunt Xu Jing had given her. Studying was such an important thing, so she hardened her heart and decided that if she didn't convince Shan Jiqing today, she would write the three words "Jian Jianan" upside down.
"Yes, the main reason I called you here today is to talk about this matter." Jian Jianan nodded seriously, but there was one thing she didn't say. She and Shan Jiqing hadn't seen each other for a long time, and meeting today was also meant to maintain their friendship.
Shan Jiqing looked around and said, "This cake has been sitting around for a long time. Why don't you eat it?"
Jian Jianan saw that Shan Jiqing lowered his head and tried to avoid the topic, so he immediately reached out and forcefully turned his head to make him look up, so that he would not hide from his sight.
"Don't avoid the topic! I just want to ask you one thing. Why don't you want to study abroad?"
Shan Jiqing didn't want to answer.
For him, there was only one reason why he didn't want to study abroad, and that was that he couldn't see Jian Jianan.
Although there are many benefits to studying abroad, Jian Jianan might be able to list hundreds or thousands of them, but once the reason of not being able to see Jian Jianan appears, it is enough to overcome the hundreds or thousands of reasons mentioned above.
Originally, Shan Jiqing was thinking of boiling a frog in warm water. As long as he stayed by Jian Jianan's side often, no matter whether she became enlightened or not, as long as "the spring breeze sneaked into the night, moistening everything silently", it would be fine.
If Jian Jianan has other thoughts one day, the first person she sees will definitely be herself.
Is he still worried that he won’t be able to wait until the day when the relationship between the two of them warms up and takes a step further?
But now, studying abroad has become a galaxy between the two of them and a huge obstacle in Shan Jiqing's plan.
Shan Jiqing couldn't even imagine that as long as he went abroad to study, let alone three or four years, even for just one year, when he came back, he wondered how many people would surround Jian Jianan.
She has shown her charm since she was a child. After she went abroad to study, there was no one around to protect her from the strong winds and waves. Wouldn't there still be people rushing towards her one after another?
No, no, Shan Jiqing felt heartbroken when he thought about this and had no intention of going out at all.
But Jian Jianan had no idea what these young men were thinking. Seeing Shan Jiqing sitting opposite him with his head down and a silent look of non-violent non-cooperation, no matter what he chattered about, Shan Jiqing kept his mouth shut and didn't intend to say a word. Jian Jianan felt a little angry.
"I've known you for nearly ten years now. Is there anything you can't tell me? I understand there are things you might not want to tell your parents, perhaps because you have some unspeakable secrets. But you and I are the same age. Is there anything we can't talk about openly? Just tell me!"
Shan Jiqing suddenly chuckled when he heard this, and whispered something: "You know everything? Then you have no idea what I'm thinking?"
Jian Jianan didn't hear clearly, "What? What did you just say? Can you repeat it again?"
What is this "mind" and "completely unaware"? What are they talking about? Is this a riddle?
Jian Jianan was a little annoyed. She seemed to have just met Shan Jiqing for the first time today. Why hadn't she realized before that her friend was such a stubborn person?
Once a decision is made, there is no way to change it, and they refuse to say a word. It really makes people worry and angry!
Jian Jianan finally issued an ultimatum: "Shan Jiqing, this is the first time I'm talking to you like this. Listen carefully! My patience is limited. Although I don't know what difficulties you've encountered recently, I thought we could talk about anything. I'm a little sad that you refused to tell me anything today."
Jian Jianan blinked, a little confused. In his heart, Shan Jiqing was his best friend.
When Jian Jianan was in his hometown in Hainan, he also had friends, such as the fat boy next door and several classmates who often came to play with his brother.
But in Jian Jianan's view, these were just acquaintances, far from being close friends.
Moreover, after his family fled from Hainan to Shenzhen, Guangdong, Jian Jianan's contact with these acquaintances gradually faded, and finally completely cut off.
Only after coming to Shenzhen did Jian Jianan feel that he had truly made some close friends.
In this way, Shan Jiqing became the first and best friend she made after coming to Shenzhen.
Shan Jiqing meant a lot to him. If possible, Jian Jianan wanted to maintain a lifelong friendship with him.
But now, this good friend who he had known for nearly ten years had adopted a policy of passive resistance towards him and refused to tell him a single secret. How could Jian Jianan not feel sad?
After Jian Jiananliang said that harsh word, Shan Jiqing did not say anything. An unspeakable silence spread between the two of them.
Shan Jiqing clasped his hands on the table and kept turning them around. He looked very agitated, as if he wanted to defend himself but didn't know what to say.
Seeing that the other person was in pain, Jian Jianan felt sad and worried himself.
Shan Jiqing has had this problem since he was a child. It seems to have become a pattern. He has lived in his own world since he was a child and has no response to the outside world. When he gradually got better and recovered, he became two extremes.
Once his mood fluctuates drastically, Shan Jiqing will feel unwell, and the worst-case scenario is that he feels dizzy and wants to faint.
Jian Jianan didn't want to make him feel bad, so he immediately reflected on himself.
She lost herself in her memories. "Okay, I have to admit, I was busy with my exchange program abroad some time ago, and I really neglected you a lot. You sent me messages and called me several times to ask me out for dinner and fun, but I always said I didn't have time and turned down the opportunity to dine with you. Maybe that's why you're resentful of me, so you didn't say anything today..."
Before Jian Jianan finished his self-examination, Shan Jiqing raised his head in a furious manner: "What did you say! What did you just say! Go abroad... go abroad as an exchange student?"
Jian Jianan looked at him strangely, and touched his head a little embarrassedly, "Yes, that's right."
She suddenly realized, "Oh, right? I haven't told you yet, have I? It's really my fault. You know, when I received the news, I didn't have much time left. I was working on the application materials until two or three in the morning every day. I was very busy! Plus, I wanted to tell you the good news after everything was settled, so I didn't tell you in advance."
There are no professional study abroad agencies now. Schools can arrange places for exchange students, and the procedures for going abroad are also officially handled, but there are still many other things to do besides these.
For example, which school to go to as an exchange student, which teacher to choose as his mentor, and which field to pursue further studies in are all things that Jian Jianan has to worry about.
She also has to take exams like TOEFL and IELTS, write various applications, collect information about the main research directions of her favorite teachers, and then impress them with her sincerity and academic ability.
Jian Jianan was so busy recently that he slept in bed without even putting his feet on the floor, and he didn't even think about informing Shan Jiqing about this matter.
Today was the first time that Shan Jiqing learned that Jian Jianan was going abroad.
Jian Jianan knew she was in the wrong. She glanced at Shan Jiqing and saw the shock on his face, as if he couldn't accept it. So she stammered and tried to defend herself, "I...I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was really busy and couldn't find the time to tell you the news. Besides, if Aunt Xu Jing hadn't mentioned it when she came to our house for dinner yesterday, I wouldn't have known about your study abroad."
After Jian Jianan finished speaking, she secretly looked at Shan Jiqing's reaction. In fact, she didn't think she had done anything wrong, but seeing Shan Jiqing's hurt expression, she felt that he was in the wrong.
Shan Jiqing lowered his head as if thinking. Jian Jianan wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so he strongly persuaded him to go study abroad with him.
"I'm going to study in the US, aren't you going there too? We can go together. I'm unfamiliar with the place, and I don't know many people, nor do I have anyone I can trust. But wouldn't it be great if we could just go to a strange country together? It would be nice to have someone to help us out!"
Jian Jianan knew that Shan Jiqing had been selected for the country's 863 Plan when he was a freshman, specializing in the development of high-tech in various fields. Now studying abroad is just a process that he must go through in life. Compared with his own plan, he is following the steps step by step. I don't know why he is so reluctant to go abroad.
"I think Aunt Xu Jing and Uncle Shan Tao are also very worried about you. When Aunt Xu Jing came to our house for dinner yesterday, although she was smiling, her face was full of worry, and her eyes seemed to be hiding so much worry that she almost lost her appetite. You know how good my parents cook, and Aunt Xu Jing really loves coming to our house for dinner. It must be so worrying that something could make her feel like the food was tasteless!"
Jian Jianan persuaded Shan Jiqing from the perspective of a parent and elder.
Shan Jiqing thought for a long time before finally raising his head and looking at Jian Jianan intently: "The reason I didn't want to study abroad before was..."
"Why? Just tell me! Just tell me!" Jian Jianan was moved. It was really not easy! She had finally managed to pry open a crack in Shan Jiqing's saw-mouthed gourd. She wanted to listen carefully to the reason Shan Jiqing gave.
"I feel that my parents and everyone I know are all in China, and I can't handle being away from home all of a sudden, both physically and mentally. That's why I want to stay in China and study further. Besides, our country is developing quite well right now, and you don't have to go abroad to learn any skills. I'm also willing to stay in China and contribute to the development of our motherland."
Jian Jianan sighed deeply. So that's what happened. She had been wondering why Shan Jiqing was so unwilling to study abroad. Now she finally knew the reason!
Jian Jianan advised him, "That's not the case. Going abroad to exchange ideas with highly skilled technical personnel is beneficial to the development of our country. There's no such thing as betraying anything by studying abroad. Besides, I don't know much about other fields, so I can't say anything, but chip technology still needs to be learned abroad. Our country has no shortage of talent or R&D, but we've only been developing for a short time. We started late and can't keep up with others. So if we want to catch up with Western chip technology, we still have to go abroad and 'steal'."
Of course, the two words "at the same time" in this sentence are in double quotation marks. Jian Jianan wanted to use a witty remark to make Shan Jiqing happy.
As expected, as soon as she said this, she saw Shan Jiqing's expression relax a little. Knowing the crux of the matter made it easier to find the right remedy. Finally, she knew the reason. She used all her eloquence to persuade Shan Jiqing to change his mind and study abroad with her!
"Tell me about your overseas exchange student program. Maybe if I hear more about it, I'll change my mind."
Jian Jianan told him, "My exchange student period is only one year, which is shorter than your four years of studying abroad. But it's just enough for me. I'm going abroad just to see how the business systems of other countries operate in places I can't see. I also want to take this opportunity to personally participate in and experience the economic operations of other social systems."
Shan Jiqing nodded, and seeing his friend staring at him without blinking, he said expectantly, "So, have you changed your mind? Do you want to go out with me?"
Shan Jiqing found it extremely funny. It was really rare to see Jian Jianan like this. Ever since she grew up, she often acted as if she was stone-hearted to others, rarely showing any fluctuations in her emotions or expressions. She would only be so lively when facing people close to her.
He whetted our appetite before softly saying, "Of course, if you're also going abroad to study... then I'll go with you."
Jian Jianan excitedly slammed the table, making a loud bang, which attracted the other guests in the restaurant to look over with dissatisfaction. Jian Jianan had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender repeatedly to express his apology.
"That's great! It's really great! You finally changed your mind and are willing to study abroad with me!" It was worth it for Jian Jianan to use so much eloquence and saliva today. He finally completed the task assigned to him by Aunt Xu Jing and did not let her down!
Jian Jianan's words were like cannonballs fired at Shan Jiqing: "You've changed your mind now, so have you prepared all the information and documents for studying abroad? If not, you have to prepare them now. You don't have much time left! It's already July 10th, and we have to go out next month to prepare for our study abroad life. After all, there are many things to prepare, and it's better to prepare them early in an unfamiliar place."
Shan Jiqing nodded, not interrupting Jian Jianan. As his friend continued speaking, he replied, "My parents and the teacher have already prepared all the documents for me. I don't have to spend much time here. All I need is a nod of approval."
"That's good, that's good!" Jian Jianan was very happy, unable to hide her excitement. She blurted out, "That's great! It seems we can stay together again!"
Shan Jiqing lowered his eyes with some regret. It was a pity that they would not be together for long, at most one year, and they would have to separate in the next few years.
But this year is enough for me.
After receiving the good news, Jian Jianan immediately started eating the cheesecake in front of her. She wanted to finish it quickly and then tell Aunt Xu Jing the good news.
When the two of them parted, Jian Jianan suddenly recalled what had just happened and reviewed the entire incident.
Come to think of it, what was the turning point for Shan Jiqing to change his mind? He had been hanging out at home with his parents for half a month and still refused to agree to study abroad. How come he changed his mind after I said these few words to him today? Jian Jianan didn't really think that he was a panacea that could change other people's minds.
It seems like Shan Jiqing changed his attitude only after Jian Jianan said that she would also go abroad as an exchange student?
Yes, that's right.
Shan Jiqing had previously insisted on not wanting to study abroad and remained silent, but when Jian Jianan suddenly mentioned his future plans, Shan Jiqing suddenly changed his mind, made a 180-degree turn, and was willing to go abroad to study.
And that sentence he said so quietly that I couldn’t hear it clearly, something like “Interesting…”?
Jian Jianan couldn't understand it at all.
For the first time in her life, Jian Jianan felt as if something was beyond her expectations and out of her control. She was a little panicked, especially after seeing Shan Jiqing turn around and leave the door of the western restaurant, Jian Jianan became even more panicked.
It’s okay, she comforted herself in her heart.
It's okay, this feeling may be an illusion. The reason you feel anxious may be that you stayed up late last night and slept too little, so your heart is pounding.
Even if there were any misunderstandings between her and Shan Jiqing, they would have to go to a strange country and live together for at least a year. If there were any misunderstandings, they could be worked out slowly!
After Jian Jianan comforted himself, he planned to go home with his friends to prepare.
"Huh? Aren't you leaving yet?" Shan Jiqing first came to the door of the western restaurant and opened the door for Jian Jianan. Because she hadn't moved for a long time, she turned around and tilted her head to ask Jian Jianan.
"I'm coming! I'm coming now!"
After seeing Shan Jiqing's actions, Jian Jianan felt more relieved. Seeing that he was willing to open the door for him, he must not be angry with him in his heart!
Shan Jiqing finally agreed to study abroad. When the news reached Shan Jiqing's family, Xu Jing and Shan Tao breathed a sigh of relief. If they had not experienced many ups and downs together, they might have burst into tears on the spot.
"I have to thank Nan Nan! If it weren't for Nan Nan, I don't know when this stubborn boy would give in." Xu Jing said with emotion.
Shan Tao was puzzled: "Is Nan Nan involved in this? I already knew that Nan Nan was a person with her own ideas. So this guy's willingness to go out was also due to Nan Nan's influence?"
After getting a positive answer from his wife, Shan Tao tilted his head and thought about it, then suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed and shook his head, remembering the scenes that happened during the time when he was pursuing his wife. This brat, really! He was already taciturn enough and couldn't say a word at home for a whole day, but he chose such a person he liked.
Looking at the person he likes, he has no other thoughts in his mind except for his career. This kid has a long way to go in the future!
Since both Ji Qing and Jian Jianan have decided to study abroad, not to mention that the adults of the two families are very good friends, the parents are worried about them going to such a strange country without one or two acquaintances.
So Xu Jing, Shan Tao, Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping simply joined forces to tie Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing together, saying that the two children knew each other and could help each other study abroad, so that the parents of both sides could feel more at ease.
Jian Jianan naturally had no reason to object. Seeing Shan Jiqing's reaction, he acquiesced. Not only that, he was quite enthusiastic about it!
No matter what Jian Jianan was preparing or how busy she was, she would definitely receive a text or call from Shan Jiqing soon. If Jian Jianan didn't answer, he would come directly over. After all, the two families lived in the same alley, so it would only take a few minutes to walk over.
In the end, Shan Jiqing simply lived in Jian Jianan's house!
Anyway, there are quite a lot of guest rooms in the courtyard where Jian Jianan lives now, so there is no shortage of accommodation for him alone.
Shan Jiqing didn't come here just to keep Jian Jianan company, he came to help Jian Jianan pack her luggage. He also made a long list of things that would be needed for traveling abroad. He checked the list to remind Jian Jianan not to forget anything while helping her pack her luggage.
"It's best to put large and heavy items at the bottom of your suitcase so it doesn't take up too much space. Once the bottom is filled, you can safely put other, less heavy items on top!"
Shan Jiqing was teaching Jian Jianan his little tricks for packing his luggage, and what he received was Jian Jianan's admiring gaze: "I really didn't expect that Xiaoqing, you are also a good hand at housework!"
Jian Jianan walked around him three times with great interest, exclaiming in amazement, almost feeling shy for looking at him.
Shan Jiqing cleared his throat and coughed a few times. "It's... it's okay. I help my parents pack their business trip luggage at home, so I've kept this skill. Each plane only has so much luggage, so we have to make good use of the space. Although I can find people or companies to send the things I need over here later, it's still not as convenient as carrying them with me from the beginning."
Jian Jianan nodded in agreement, and the two of them put their heads together to discuss what to bring.
"Dan Jiqing is amazing! He packed my luggage quickly and efficiently. I originally thought that my stuff wouldn't fit into two suitcases, but after I asked him for help, he took out all the stuff from both suitcases, repacked it, and put it all into one suitcase in less than an hour! I watched the whole process, and every item was exactly where it should be. There was no forced squeezing at all."
At this point, Jian Jianan looked at Jian Jiabei in reproach, "Brother, you should learn this from Xiaoqing. Didn't you see that you said you would help me pack my luggage yesterday, but you squeezed my XO sauce and spilled it all over the suitcase!"
Jian Jiabei cleared his throat and said a little unnaturally: "Ahem, brother didn't mean it, brother just wanted to help you!" There was one thing he didn't say, that is, Jian Jianan was going to study abroad. When he thought that this coquettish girl was going away for a year, Jian Jiabei felt reluctant to let her go.
He meant well but ended up doing something bad.
Wait, Jian Jiabei suddenly became alert. Hasn't his sister mentioned Shan Jiqing more often in recent times? Why is she calling him "Xiao Qing Xiao Qing" all day long, and hasn't she mentioned his biological brother's name many times?
This is not good, it’s really not good!
Jian Jianan had turned back to discuss other things enthusiastically with her parents, completely unaware that her brother was watching her and secretly made up his mind to remind her parents to be careful of Shan Jiqing!
Both families were busy preparing for their children to study abroad. Although Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping were very reluctant, they also understood that it was necessary for their daughters to go abroad, not to mention that they would only be away for a year and would be back after a year, so they could still accept it.
Shan Jiqing will be away for four years, and Shan Tao, Xu Jing, and his grandparents are all reluctant to let him go.
Therefore, in addition to helping Jian Jianan pack his luggage and reminding him to bring things with him, Shan Jiqing spent all the time before going abroad with his family.
Although he is naturally taciturn and seems cold-hearted, the love in his heart is no less than that of others.
No matter how reluctant we were, time finally arrived at the end of August, the day booked on the plane ticket.
The two families arrived at the airport early in the morning to see their two children off.
Shan Tao has a special status. If he wants to go abroad, he must first report to his superiors and have sufficient reasons. His application is not always approved.
Xu Jing couldn't go out either. Her performance schedule in the troupe had been set early, and she wouldn't have a good rest for even a single month in the next two or three years. Therefore, she couldn't go out to accompany her son.
Su Qinxuan advised the couple to be at ease, "Okay, okay, this day will come sooner or later when the child grows up, and this is also for the sake of serious study. You two should be happy for him!"
Jian Yangping also said, "Although Xiaoqin and I can't send them over this time, we will still go over to check on their situation when we have time in the future. By then, we will definitely take care of Xiaoqing as well, so you can rest assured!"
It took a lot of persuasion to get Xu Jing and Shan Tao to hide the sadness on their faces. Of course, they could say words of advice, but when it really came to their turn, Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan could no longer take it easy.
This time it was Jian Jianan's turn to persuade them.
Jian Jianan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom and Dad, when you two were comforting Aunt Xu Jing and Uncle Shan Tao just now, you said everything you wanted to say. Why can't you do the same thing when it comes to me?"
Don't they understand the truth? But they just can't help it! When they think about Nan Nan being away for so long, that's more than 300 days! The couple is so sad that they don't want to talk.
Su Qinxuan stared at Jian Jianan with tears in her eyes, wanting to make up for the year that she was about to miss.
Seeing that both his parents were so sad that they couldn't speak, as their son, Jian Jiabei could only come out and take on the responsibility of seeing them off.
He looked at his sister and said word by word, "Go out and study hard. Don't think about making money. Learn everything you need to learn first! The opportunity to study abroad on government scholarships isn't for everyone. You have to know that the country works very hard to provide you with this opportunity. It's not easy for you to study abroad. Study hard. I'm waiting for you to return after you finish your studies and serve the motherland!"
Jian Jianan wanted to cry but had no tears. He really wanted to cry when he said goodbye to his parents just now, but now after listening to his brother's words, Jian Jianan suddenly looked righteous. He didn't feel like crying at all, and his tears even flowed back.
Somehow, even though his brother wasn't wearing the Public Security University uniform today, Jian Jianan could still sense a sense of righteousness in his words!
"Alright, alright, enough talking. It should be almost time to board the flight, right? You should check in by now. I've already said a lot of what I need to say. After all, this is a farewell, so I don't want to take up too much of your time. Anyway, technology is becoming more and more advanced these days. If there's anything I forgot to say, we can still call you once you're settled in."
Su Qinxuan started to send people away, and Jian Jianan waved goodbye to his parents and brother reluctantly for the last time, then walked into the security check.
Shan Jiqing considerately picked up Jian Jianan's luggage and walked in with her.
At the moment when the two were about to enter the corner, they suddenly stopped in tacit understanding, then turned around together, looked in the direction of their respective families, and waved vigorously.
"Mom, Dad and brother, take good care of yourselves. I will be back in a year!" This is Jian Jianan.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here to let you know I'm safe after getting off the plane. Let's contact each other by phone." This is Shan Jiqing.
Jian Jianan really wanted to cry, but she held it back and tried her best to hold back her tears.
What she didn't know was that Su Qinxuan also wanted to cry, but she held it back like her daughter. It seemed like just a moment had passed for Jian Jianan to grow from a tiny little girl into the graceful young lady she is today.
Su Qinxuan suddenly felt a little regretful. She regretted that she was busy devoting herself to the development of Nanbei Group. Was she too busy and therefore neglected her daughter's growth?
If Jian Jianan knew that his mother thought this way, he would definitely deny it desperately!
She would say, "No, no, Mom, don't think like that. It is your hard work that sets an example for me. I have found in you the person I want to be in the future!"
Su Qinxuan was very proud of her daughter, but this did not prevent her from shedding tears of reluctance to part with her.
Jian Jianan's longing for her parents continued even on the plane, and her depressed mood was naturally noticed by her companion Shan Jiqing.
Ever since she separated from her parents, Shan Jiqing has become Jian Jianan's personal nanny, helping her carry her luggage during security checks. Jian Jianan has never touched any large luggage except for her plane tickets and other personal belongings.
After the two of them passed security and sat in the waiting room, Shan Jiqing asked someone for a cup of hot water from somewhere and asked Jian Jianan to hold it in his palm to calm him down.
The two of them got on the plane, and Shan Jiqing asked gently in her ear if Jian Jianan was feeling unwell.
His thoughtfulness and gentleness finally made Jian Jianan burst out laughing, "You're so thoughtful! If we hadn't been by each other's side for the past two months, I would have suspected that you had taken a nanny course without my knowledge."
Otherwise, how could he be so considerate? What's more rare is that every time Shan Jiqing was considerate, it touched Jian Jianan's heart, and every time he provided help, it was just right.
Shan Jiqing smiled contentedly but remained silent. He wondered if there were any nanny courses available. If there were, he would be willing to take them, but all he relied on was his genuine concern for Jian Jianan and his careful observation.
Shan Jiqing pulled out an eye mask from his bag and smiled at Jian Jianan, "Alright, the next journey is more than ten hours long. Nannan, you just cried and let out your emotions in the waiting room. Don't cry again on the plane, okay? Hurry up and put on your eye mask and have a good sleep. When you wake up, you'll feel better and your mood will improve as well."
Jian Jianan complained: "Where did you get this logic from? Is there no scientific basis for this?"
Shan Jiqing just looked at her and smiled, without saying a word. He thoughtfully adjusted the lights on the long-distance plane for Jian Jianan and adjusted her chair to the most suitable angle. He said softly, "Go to sleep. I'll read a book first and call you when we're connecting."
They departed from Beijing, but did not fly directly to the United States. They had to stop and transfer at a small island called Hawaii in the North Pacific. They would only reach their destination, the United States, after the plane was fully refueled.
Jian Jianan originally thought that nothing unexpected would happen during the more than ten-hour journey, that they would arrive at their destination safely, and that he would call his parents to report his safety as soon as the plane landed.
Unexpectedly, an accident occurred within a few hours of their landing in Hawaii.
It wasn’t Jian Jianan, but a passenger in the same class as her.
The passenger seemed to have had an argument with the ground staff and started shouting loudly, but it was obvious that his demands were not resolved. When he passed by with a frustrated look on his face, Jian Jianan couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Then, Jian Jianan was looked at as if he were a savior.
"Comrade, please help us! I really don't know who to ask for help!"
