The next morning, while the sky was still tinged with the first light of dawn, the two of them arrived at the airport gate.
It's not as cold as it was a while ago, so standing outside won't make you shiver.
Chen Lu yawned lazily, still half asleep. Liang Zhirou stood beside him, holding his hand, her eyes slightly lowered, her originally cool face now tinged with a gloomy air.
She wasn't sleepy; she just realized she had checked out too early, wasting several hours' worth of money.
Chen Lu looked up and examined the airport signs that were still lit up in mid-air, and thought that the names of these airports were quite magical.
They all sound awful at first, but after listening to them a few times, they seem alright.
For example, Xiaoshan, Yaoqiang, Xinqiao, Baiyun, Bao'an...
"Let's go." He shook the girl's hand beside him.
"Um."
Flying is much more convenient now than before. You can buy your ticket online, check in, and select your seat at the same time. The process of going to the airport and boarding the plane is similar to that of taking the high-speed rail, except that going through security is a little more troublesome.
The plane tickets for both of them had already been bought; now all they needed to do was go through security.
Security checks won't take them long, since the two of them only had one bag together, which contained mostly changes of clothes.
So Chen Lu arrived right on time, and it wasn't long before it was time to board.
These earlier flights were all small to medium-sized passenger planes, but that didn't dampen Liang Zhirou's excitement. However, she didn't look around like Chen Lu had imagined; she simply sat by the window and quietly watched the other planes outside.
She truly lives up to her reputation as the legendary "cool and aloof goddess".
The aloofness is actually just social anxiety; the icy beauty who never smiles is just like this, her brain has simply shut down.
Chen Lu couldn't help but chuckle.
This era, filled with labels, has too many misunderstandings about this adorable, silly goofball.
I never imagined that he was the only one who could uncover these truths.
“Look, we came whenever we wanted, didn’t we? Life is a vast wilderness, Liang Zhirou, you can do whatever you want.” Chen Lu held her delicate hand and raised an eyebrow at her.
Liang Zhirou gripped his hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, and then suddenly sighed softly, "...It's a pity that some people don't have a choice at all."
Just like she was back then.
Even if the surrounding scenery is beautiful, you can only walk to the end of your own dark and gloomy path.
"That's why hard work is so important," Chen Lu said earnestly.
Many parents and teachers only know that simply cramming knowledge into students will bring them a better life.
The most important thing is actually the opportunities for choice that come with studying hard.
Learning doesn't necessarily mean reading books. As long as you know enough, you'll naturally have more choices.
So, he, a law student, can run away to make games, Liang Zhirou can make money by painting, and some people can even support their families by playing games... There are all sorts of ways to make a living.
One day a person will stop reading books, but they should never stop learning.
Liang Zhirou nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
At least she can now proudly say that the money for the hotel room for the two of them last night, plus the cost of this trip, was all earned by her drawing commercial sketches one by one while she had dark circles under her eyes these past few days.
It was an accident that Chen Lu secretly bought two plane tickets. When we go back, I absolutely cannot let him buy any more, otherwise I will never go out with him again.
Although she doesn't earn as much as Chen Lu right now, that's no reason for Chen Lu to pay for everything.
The two people are equal.
Since Chen Lu paid for her mother's surgery, she naturally had to contribute more in other areas as well.
"There shouldn't be any accidents, right?" After a while, Liang Zhirou whispered in Chen Lu's ear.
They'll fly so high that there won't be anywhere to run.
"..." Chen Lu's eyebrows twitched twice upon hearing this, too lazy to comment on this silly thought process, "It is said that the probability of this is smaller than being struck by lightning on the way."
Speaking of the accident, he recalled the joke about opening the emergency exit door. He chuckled and nudged Liang Zhirou's arm, pointing to the emergency exit door next to the seats in the distance. "Do you want to go pull it and see?"
The girl looked at him warily, "Judging from your tone, this isn't good news..."
"This thing can be pulled up for 100,000 yuan. Someone on Zhihu pulled it up once."
Liang Zhirou was startled and secretly made a note of not going near that place when she left later, because she couldn't afford to pay for it.
She's not even worth as much as this door.
After the initial excitement wore off, the two stopped talking about airplanes and chatted about random, unrelated topics until the plane began to take off.
"Are we going to heaven?" Liang Zhirou asked in a low voice, barely suppressing her excitement.
"I suggest you rephrase it."
Chen Lu didn't have any particular feelings about airplanes. The main thing was that he rarely encountered unscrupulous people watching short videos on airplanes with the speakers turned up loud. Of course, it was also possible that they wanted to watch but couldn't.
Occasionally, when traveling on the high-speed rail, you'll encounter people playing short videos at full volume, which can be really unpleasant the entire journey.
After the nose of the plane was pulled up, Liang Zhirou didn't say anything more. She just held Chen Lu's hand tightly, rested her head on his shoulder, and looked out the window, trying to suppress her fear.
The window on this side is not exposed to direct sunlight and is also conveniently located away from the wing, offering a great view. It was clearly a window that Chen Lu carefully selected.
After an unknown amount of time, the plane shook slightly twice, then suddenly emerged from the white clouds and soared back into the blue sky.
Liang Zhirou looked at the scenery outside, her clear and beautiful eyes widening slightly.
The plane flew smoothly above the clouds, below which lay a vast expanse of white that stretched to the horizon, and above which was the azure sky.
