Chapter 89
After taking a shower, He Ling called Weisheng as if she had already pushed someone away.
When Weisheng was in the space, he would always keep the living room window open so as not to miss any noise outside. Hearing the phone ring in the guest room, Weisheng, who was still drying his hair, immediately left the space.
He Ling told Weisheng about the ticket and arranged with him to set off at nine o'clock.
He Ling: "...I just booked a taxi at the front desk. We'll go tomorrow, no, today. After we leave today, we'll go to dinner first, and then go to the train station."
It was already past four in the morning, and they could only rest for four hours at most.
"Okay, I'll take your advice." Weisheng had no objection to He Ling's arrangement. He glanced at his pajamas and the clock in the room, and before hanging up, he added, "I'll give you the money for the plane and train tickets when we leave."
He Ling wanted to say no, but she felt that Weisheng, with his strong personality, might not agree. So she said, "Let's settle it together after we return home."
Wei Sheng nodded when he heard this, but when he realized that He Ling couldn't see him through the phone, he said, "That's fine too."
After hanging up the phone, Weisheng stood in the guest room and calculated the time difference again, then continued to work in the space.
She really didn't want to eat dry bread after working hard for two or three days, but considering that she would have to eat local Syrian food in a few hours, Weisheng cooked herself a portion of wontons that Ning Chaoyun had made for her.
Weisheng's space was large enough, but it lacked the ability to freeze time, so the frozen food in it had been consumed long ago. The dumplings and wontons frozen in the space were made for her by Ning Chaoyun and Ming Yichen every time she returned to visit her family.
In order to prepare these meals for her without being discovered by Uncle Ning and the others, Ning Chaoyun and the others would hide in the professor's dormitory.
I always make a lot every time, and when I don’t feel like cooking when I’m abroad, I’ll cook some of Mom and Dad’s brand family dumplings/wontons.
It was the same now. He took out ten wontons and put them in the pot. While taking care of his face, Weisheng found some red dates and ginger tea and made himself a cup of hot drink to ward off the cold.
I threw all the clothes I wore today into the washing machine and set it to automatic drying.
In less than an hour, the clothes can be washed and dried without Weisheng watching over them.
At exactly five o'clock, Weisheng first set an alarm to get up, and then gave himself an injection to allow himself to quickly fall into a deep sleep within a limited time.
At half past eight, Weisheng woke up in a daze, turned off the alarm clock that disturbed his sleep, and then closed his eyes for a few minutes.
After spending fifteen minutes to get himself ready, Weisheng left the space.
When he got outside the space, he first messed up the bedding on the bed, and then messed up the bathroom. Seeing that it was only five minutes until nine o'clock, Weisheng was about to push the door open, but at this time the door rang.
I thought it was He Ling, but after opening the door I found out it was a hotel waiter.
The waitress handed Weisheng a bag with both hands, then pointed to the room next to her where He Ling lived, and finally said in somewhat broken English, "The gentleman gave this to the lady."
Weisheng took the bag and opened it immediately, finding a skirt, matching underwear, and a pair of women's sandals inside.
Weisheng closed the door without knowing why, and then called the neighbor next door.
"What is this dress?"
He Ling was also changing clothes. When she heard Weisheng calling to ask about clothes, she couldn't help but say with a smile, "My clothes aren't dry yet, and I figured yours shouldn't be dry either. When I asked someone to buy clothes just now, I also brought you a set."
He was so tired that he forgot about the clothes. Luckily, he got up early today and had time to ask someone to help him buy two sets of clothes.
However, when buying clothes and pants, specific sizes are required, but when buying skirts, they can be worn by people who are a little fatter or thinner. As for sandals, He Ling estimates the size herself, which can only be bigger, not smaller.
As for the size of the underwear... He Ling only told the waiter who helped buy clothes that Weisheng was relatively thin...
After thanking He Ling, Weisheng only hesitated for a moment before changing into the skirt. She then threw the underwear, which was obviously of questionable size and poor quality, into the space.
…
A few minutes later, He Ling appeared in the corridor carrying a briefcase and holding a bouquet of Damascus roses.
When I saw Weisheng coming out of the room wearing a skirt, I knew it was the one the waiter had just bought for me.
"Please keep the flowers I gave you when you booked the ticket."
Weisheng knew that what Syria lacked the most was Damascus roses. When she heard He Ling say that, she not only didn't think much about it but also added, "I wonder if there are many people on the train."
If there are a lot of people getting on the train, then the flowers will probably have to stay at the train station.
He Ling: I don’t know if there are many people, but you think a lot.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
He Ling asked the hotel to wake them up at 8 o'clock. After waking up at 8 o'clock, He Ling called a restaurant that served Syrian cuisine. Not only did he make a reservation, but he also asked them to prepare in advance. When they arrived at the restaurant at 9:30, the food must be served on the table as soon as possible.
For this purpose, He Ling ordered the dishes directly over the phone.
After getting in the taxi, He Ling mentioned his arrangements to Weisheng.
"... Let's deal with one first. Once we get to Latakia, we'll have more time."
Since I have never eaten it before, I might as well try it.
"It's already good," Weisheng said, smiling indifferently. "Without you here, I can't even understand the menu."
How to describe this feeling?
It's like a foreigner who can't speak Chinese and went to a third-tier city in China in the late 1980s. Everything from food, clothing, housing, and transportation was restricted by the language barrier.
This is almost the situation with micro-organisms today.
However, it was this experience of having to rely solely on He Ling that made Weisheng more determined to learn Arabic.
On the way to the restaurant, Weisheng asked He Ling to help find a place where he could make an international long-distance call.
He Ling knew that Weisheng wanted to report home that he was safe, so he first communicated with the taxi driver in Arabic, and then He Ling took Weisheng to make a phone call.
First, she called the small Western-style building. Uncle Ning answered the phone. Weisheng told him she was in the US and would be back in a few days. After hanging up, she called Ning Chaoyun at the school office. After the two international calls were completed and Weisheng paid, they continued to the restaurant.
Some of Syria's traditional food tasted really good, while some was totally not to Weisheng's taste. However, He Ling, who hadn't had a proper meal for several days and had been in Lebanon for more than two years, had a big appetite.
After dinner, they drank another cup of coffee before getting up and leaving.
The train was at 12:30. Because He Ling had arranged it in advance, they finished their meal before 11:00. After asking about the distance to the train station, Weisheng and He Ling took a taxi to the train station.
No matter which train station it is, there are many shops inside and outside the train station that are designed to cheat passengers.
Considering that he had to get on a train and then go to the airport, Weisheng didn't try to be a fool here. Instead, he strolled around the train station with He Ling, holding the roses given as a gift when buying the ticket.
There were many passengers in the train station and many people on the train. Before getting on the train, Weisheng took out a rose and put it in his hand, and put the rest on the trash can.
He Ling glanced in the direction of the trash can, then looked at the rose in Weisheng's hand again. He lowered his eyes first, then continued to protect Weisheng onto the train.
The rest of the itinerary was all as planned. When they arrived in Latakia, they had another meal of local delicacies, and Weisheng also bought a lot of things in the limited time.
Because there were too many things, Weisheng also bought a suitcase at the local duty-free shop.
Except for the time when Weisheng rescued a little girl who was put into a trash can by the cleaning staff at the airport during the transfer, there were no other setbacks on the way.
After arriving in Beijing, Weisheng bought a ticket back to Nanjing. Since the flight was tomorrow, Weisheng left the airport with He Ling again.
However, she found it troublesome to carry the suitcase, so she left it at the airport.
By the way, I forgot to mention that He Ling now lives in Beijing. Since Weisheng has a flight back to Nanjing tomorrow, He Ling also invited Weisheng to stay at his house for one night.
Weisheng really wanted to break up with He Lingyu right away. But considering that he had been her translator, she decided to treat He Lingyu to a good meal.
Weisheng told He Ling about his plan, and then He Ling, who was half a Beijinger and had moved to Beijing a long time ago, took Weisheng to an old brand that would definitely amaze Weisheng.
Not only was it amazing, but Weisheng even forgot about his health and weight loss plans, and ate until he was 180% full before putting down his chopsticks.
After dinner, Weisheng went to pay the bill. Because the plum wine and lychee wine they drank at the table were very good, she packed 12 extra bottles to take back to Jinling.
After making sure that Weisheng would not stay at his house, He Ling took Weisheng to a hotel with good environment and reputation.
After accompanying Weisheng to complete the check-in procedures and helping him carry the fruit wine in a cardboard box to the guest room, He Ling said goodbye and left.
However, before He Ling left, Weisheng took out an envelope and said that it contained the train tickets and all other expenses that He Ling had previously paid for.
He Ling hesitated for a moment before taking the money, nodded slightly to Weisheng, and turned to leave.
He Ling: She wouldn’t think that I sent her to the room just to ask for money.
Weisheng: If they hadn’t walked me all the way to my room, I would have almost forgotten to pay them.

Seeing that it was still early, Weisheng made a domestic long-distance call to the small western-style building, telling them that he was in Beijing and would be taking a flight back to Nanjing at noon the next day.
Ming Yichen answered the phone. Seeing it was Weisheng, he told him about the hijacking of a plane by the Chinese government a few days ago, which had taken all the passengers to Lebanon. He also said that during dinner, the elders had discussed not sending Weisheng back to China for the time being, nor inviting the children from France to come.
Ming Yichen had a habit of reading newspapers, and his family subscribed to various newspapers year-round. In addition, the Xinwen Lianbo also reported on international news, so some news could not be hidden from his family.
After hearing what Ming Yichen said, Weisheng felt even more clearly how clear his behavior of frequently reporting his whereabouts to his family was.
Weisheng told Ming Yichen as always that no matter who was in trouble, she would be fine because she had her grandmother.
Ning Chaoyun and Ming Yichen felt at ease knowing Weisheng was in China, even if he wasn't around. When they heard Weisheng mention his grandmother, they felt even less worried.
That’s right, the child is protected by her milk.
After Ming Yichen finished speaking, Ning Chaoyun continued to talk to Weisheng. She asked if he wanted to pick her up at the airport tomorrow and what he wanted to eat after getting off the plane. She also talked about what they had at home and what they had bought the day before.
Weisheng asked Ning Chaoyun if she wanted to buy some roast duck from Beijing to take back, and also said that she bought a few bottles of fruit wine.
Finally, Weisheng said, let’s have pickles and other things from Liubiju tomorrow morning.
After talking to Ning Chaoyun, Weisheng asked if Uncle Ning and the others were around, and asked if they wanted anything. After asking all five elderly people in the family, Weisheng hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Weisheng messed up the bed and bathroom in the guest room, and then went back to his space to wash up.
After taking a shower, Weisheng remembered the Beijing specialties mentioned on the phone just now, so he left the space and called the hotel front desk.
After agreeing on the list of local specialties to be purchased and the cost, Weisheng thought of the clothes he had worn along the way, so he took them out and ordered the hotel's laundry service.
She didn't want either the skirt or the clothes she wore before smuggling, so she would wash them and send them to a remote mountainous area.
Weisheng had just handed the clothes to the room service staff when there was another knock on the door. He thought it was the waiter coming back, but when he opened the door, he found He Ling, who was covered in water.
After He Ling returned home, he ignored the dust sheets covering the furniture, and instead threw the briefcase he had been carrying all the way to the ground and went to the bathroom.
I took the shower and rinsed the entire bathroom without caring about anything. Then I stood under the shower and let the warm water pour over me...
An unknown amount of time had passed before He Ling turned off the shower, went to the closet to find a set of clothes she had bought more than two years ago, and went to find Weisheng with an unstoppable momentum.
When the person came, he didn't say anything, but just stared at Weisheng.
Weisheng thought He Ling was quite interesting.
After seeing her true face, I still have feelings for her. I don’t know if it’s because I’m foolish and bold or if I just like the excitement of having my life hanging by a thread.
After an unknown amount of time, He Ling said to Wei Sheng in an emotional voice, "Let's be together. If I ever let you down, you can kill me!"
Huh? Ha~
Weisheng was amused by He Ling and wanted to say something, but when he saw that he really meant it, he found it even funnier.
After a moment, Weisheng didn't say anything about being together, but hooked his finger at He Ling. He Ling took the opportunity to step forward and shorten the distance between them.
"Have you showered?"
“…Yeah.” He Ling responded nervously, his breathing becoming more rapid.
Just wash it.
After thinking about it, Weisheng stepped on the dustpan, stretched out his arms to hug He Ling, and kissed him with his lips.
He Ling first felt a spasm in her heart and lower abdomen, and then she hugged Weisheng...
***
The next day, Weisheng glanced at He Ling who was still sleeping soundly. He didn't go to wash up. He changed his clothes in the bathroom and left with the wine she bought yesterday.
She checked out at the front desk first, but was told to come back at noon to clean the room. The deposit would be returned to the bank card after the room was cleaned.
In addition, Weisheng left an address and postage at the front desk and asked them to help mail the clothes washed yesterday to that address.
Finally, after finishing all the trivial matters, Weisheng took the Beijing specialties that he had asked the front desk to buy for him yesterday and took a taxi to the airport.
As for He Ling... he was just a passerby.
