"Mom, um, I've gotten off the plane and am in the waiting room." Chi Rui sat on a chair, holding the phone to her ear and listening.
The plane had to make an emergency landing due to a cold wave. The airport announced that it would not be able to take off again until the evening, and the passengers were waiting in the terminal room.
"Mom, you go back first. I may not arrive until tomorrow. Don't wait for me. I can just take a taxi home when I get to South City."
Chi Rui said softly, her voice small and a little tired.
"Well, stay at the airport first and don't go anywhere."
Liu Manzhi was a little worried. "I see it seems to be snowing in S City. Do you have any thick clothes?"
"Yeah, I'm wearing a down jacket." Chi Rui nodded obediently.
"Okay, keep warm. If you're hungry, just eat something at the airport restaurant or order takeout..."
Listening to Liu Manzhi's nagging instructions on the phone, Chi Rui agreed one by one and finally hung up the call.
The girl held the cell phone in her white little hands and curled up in a furry down hat like a little hamster, with only a pair of big round eyes showing.
She looked down at her toes, looking a little depressed.
She didn't sleep well these two days, and if she wasn't careful, Brother Ye's cold back that day would appear in front of her.
After that night, they had no more communication.
Even though we lived in the same house and our rooms were just opposite each other, we rarely saw each other. Occasionally, when we accidentally bumped into each other, we just passed each other indifferently.
Is Brother Han really angry with her this time? He probably won't forgive her...
Chi Rui pursed her lips slightly, feeling her vision a little blurry. She blinked hard quickly and stretched out her little hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.
She raised her eyes and looked at the white sky outside.
Snowflakes fell from the clouds, dancing wildly in the howling cold wind.
City S is a southern city, but we didn’t expect it to snow this year. Although the snow was small, it brought colder weather than in previous years.
Although I was wearing a down jacket, the cold still penetrated through the clothes and pierced into my bones, freezing my hands and feet stiff.
She looked away and looked at the empty airport.
The crowd was bustling about, and it was very lively and bustling, but she could not feel any warmth at all. Only loneliness was growing secretly in her heart, slowly swallowing her up.
After a long time, the girl curled up a little deeper into the chair, covered her mouth with her hands, and breathed softly.
The white warm gas sprayed on the hand, stayed for only a moment, and dissipated in the next second, and the skin felt a deeper coldness again.
She took out her cell phone and opened WeChat.
There were several unread messages, but none of them were from the person she missed.
Chi Rui pursed her lips, took a photo, edited the text and posted it on her Moments.
"This winter is so cold."
I wrote this out of inspiration, but I also secretly hope that person can see it.
He doesn't need to do anything, just... just say hello, let her know that he still cares about her...
Chi Rui stared at the circle of friends, refreshing the status with his fingertips.
Only an hour had passed, and she still hadn't seen the person she had been thinking about.
Maybe you didn’t see it?
She comforted herself in this way, finally turned off the screen and put the phone back in her pocket.
I sat alone in a recliner, feeling a little hungry but not wanting to look for a restaurant.
She reached into her backpack and only pulled out a few candies - she didn't bring any food because the food in first class was good.
Chi Rui sighed, zipped up his backpack, tore a candy and put it in his mouth.
This candy was bought for her by Brother Han.
Thinking of how good Ye Minghan was to her, she couldn't help feeling sad and guilty.
Brother Han was so good to her, but she hurt his heart.
He should really want her to stay, right?
From now on, will Brother Han... never like her again? Will he fall in love with someone else when she leaves?
The little girl sat alone in the recliner, lost in thought.
Night is falling.
She looked at the sky outside and finally couldn't help but take out her cell phone again.
There were dozens of new messages in the circle of friends, but there was still no comment from Ye Minghan, not even a like.
Chi Rui finally couldn't help but click into the address book and clicked on Ye Minghan's number.
She wants to call Brother Han.
She wanted to apologize to him, and then tell him that he could do whatever he wanted, just stop ignoring her.
“Beep—beep—”
While Chi Rui was feeling anxious, the phone rang twice and finally got through.
"Brother Han..."
"Where are you?"
Before she could say what she had been thinking for a long time, she heard the man's anxious questions on the phone.
His voice was filled with an unprecedented urgency, and every word struck Chi Rui's heart.
"I'm in the waiting room..."
Chi Rui said blankly, and then quickly added, "The plane encountered a cold wave and made an emergency landing. I am now at the airport in S City."
She spoke seriously and listened carefully to the movements on the other side.
I don't know where he is. The background sound is a bit noisy, and there are also sounds of running.
"Brother Han?"
She called him twice, but got no response.
Just as she was puzzled, a pair of running shoes suddenly stopped in front of her.
At the same time, the man's slight breathing was heard on the phone, and it seemed like... it was ringing beside him?
Chi Rui was stunned, vaguely guessing something, and his heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.
She looked up in disbelief, and then was completely stunned.
The man whom she had thought of countless times in her heart appeared before her like a dream.
He looked down at her from above, his whole body enveloped by the lights from the top of the airport, like a knight descending from the sky.
Chi Rui stood up slowly, staring at the man in front of her without blinking, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear if she blinked.
"Brother Han..."
Ye Minghan stared at her with burning eyes, and his panting breath from running gradually calmed down.
I finally found her in the crowd and saw her curled up on a chair in the airport, looking pitiful. Her nose and eye circles were red, as if she had just cried.
Ye Minghan felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
At that moment, pride and self-esteem were no longer important. I just wanted to protect her and keep her away from sadness and pain for the rest of her life.
However, when the little girl saw him, she asked him foolishly with red eyes: "Is it really you? Brother Han..."
"What else?"
Who else would be so angry that when he saw her flight had to make an emergency landing in another city and when he heard her say she was cold, he would be so worried that he would go out in the snow and take a private plane to come to see her?
"Brother Han..."
The girl pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes, threatening to fall away.
Seeing her tears welling up in her eyes, his heart ached for some unknown reason, and he said unhappily, "Why? Are you so unhappy to see me?"
"No..." She said pitifully, pouting, "I...I thought you ignored me."
She sobbed and when she talked about her sad moments, the cry in her voice became even stronger.
Ye Minghan only felt his heart tremble slightly, and the little girl had already grabbed his sleeve and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"Brother Han, please don't be angry with me, okay? I feel so sad when I think that you will ignore me in the future..."
Her voice was soft and small, like that of a wounded animal, so lovable.
Ye Minghan pursed his lips tightly. If his heart had already softened halfway when he saw the circle of friends she posted, now it had softened into a puddle of water.
He just endured it, clenched his hands into fists, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Do you want me not to be angry?"
Wiping away tears with the back of her hand, Chi Rui nodded obediently.
"Well, as long as Brother Han is not angry, you can ask me to do anything."
Looking at her soft and innocent appearance, Ye Minghan finally couldn't help himself. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly with his arms open.
"Then don't leave me again."
Hearing the man's whisper in his ear, Chi Rui was stunned for a moment, but when he reacted, his smile couldn't stop spreading.
It turns out that Brother Han is also afraid of losing her?
Listening to his strong heartbeat beside her ears, she felt the coldness in her heart completely dispelled, and warmth surged to every part of her body.
She also stretched out her little hands and hugged him tightly, and her uneasy heart completely calmed down.
"Yes," the girl said softly and sweetly, "I promise you."
In the busy airport hall on a winter night, the two of them hugged each other tightly, just like a real couple.
After a long time, Ye Minghan reluctantly let her go.
Holding her little hand, he felt the coldness of her palm and couldn't help but frowning.
"Why is it so cold?" He said with a slightly harsh tone.
Chi Rui shrank her neck guiltily, but her little hand was held by him obediently and she did not struggle.
"It's snowing..."
Ye Minghan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Have you had dinner?"
Facing his gaze, Chi Rui continued to shrink her neck, as if trying to hide herself.
Staring at the silent little girl, Ye Minghan's expression, which had just relaxed, became cold and hard again.
He didn't say anything, just took off his coat, put it on her, then took her hand and led her out of the airport.
"Brother Han, where are we going?"
"hotel."
"But the plane took off without anyone knowing why..."
Chi Rui was a little anxious, but Ye Minghan didn't care.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow."
Anyway, the Ye family has a private jet, so they can fly whenever they want.
Looking at his tall back, Chi Rui hesitated for a moment and then did not insist any more.
After walking for a while, she couldn't help blushing when she saw that he was only wearing a thin turtleneck sweater while she was wrapped up like a dumpling.
"Brother Han, should I return your coat?" Chi Rui said softly, "I won't feel cold if I walk around."
Ye Minghan ignored her completely, took her into a taxi and went to the nearest five-star hotel.
However, due to the impact of the cold wave and the peak of the Spring Festival travel rush, many passengers were stranded and the hotel was full.
"Is there no presidential suite?" Ye Minghan frowned.
"Sir, I'm sorry, there is only one single room left," the lady at the counter said politely.
Ye Minghan couldn't help but lower his eyebrows and look at the girl standing next to him.
The little girl raised her head and looked at him innocently with her bright eyes, as if she was not aware of the problem at all.
"Sir?" the lady at the counter urged politely.
Ye Minghan pursed his lips and handed her his ID card, "Check us in."
"Excuse me, are there two of you?" the lady at the counter confirmed again.
The man paused, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"Miss, please show your ID card as well." The lady at the counter looked at Chi Rui again.
"Oh, okay."
Chi Rui quickly took out her ID card from her bag and handed it to her.
It was only when Ye Minghan pulled him into the elevator that Chi Rui gradually realized that something was wrong.
Hmm? Wait…
What that young lady meant was...she wanted to share a room with Brother Han? And if it was a single room, that would mean——
Only one bed?!
The girl suddenly opened her eyes wide and her cheeks gradually turned red.
Ye Minghan pursed his lips, shifted his gaze away from her, and looked at the increasing numbers in the elevator.
"Brother Han, I...are we going to...stay in the same room tonight?" The little girl lowered her head, pinching her fingers and asked hesitantly.
Ye Minghan's eyes flickered slightly, and his ears turned slightly red.
I wasn't very nervous at first, but now I felt a little uncomfortable because of her.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and said: "It's not like we haven't slept together before."
Chi Rui: “…”
