Sunlight filtered through the transparent glass roof of the airport and landed on the girl in a white dress in front of him.
She stood inside the airport's security cordon. There was an empty space in front of her that could easily fit two people, and further ahead was the security checkpoint where it would soon be her turn.
According to Tang Manman's personality,
she should have immediately taken small steps forward at this moment.
She should have filled the empty space in front of her obediently like a radish.
Then she would carefully check the boarding pass and ID card she had already prepared to avoid any mistakes.
She was an introverted person by nature.
Introverted people are always afraid of troubling others,
so she always troubled herself instead.
But today, she didn't move for a long time.
Even though there were only a few people left in the queue in front of her, and she was blocking the security passage and was about to be prompted by the airport security staff through a loudspeaker to move forward, she still didn't budge.
She just stared at the person standing outside the cordon, who was so engrossed in the phone screen that he didn't even bother to look up at her again. Her delicate eyebrows drooped slightly, filled with sorrow.
"Passengers in front, please hurry up and go through the security check."
The voice of the airport staff's reminder echoed far through the loudspeaker.
The person outside the security line seemed to have heard the voice too.
He made a movement, looked up, and cast his gaze over.
Seeing him looking over,
Tang Manman's eyebrows, which hadn't had time to wipe away the sorrow, immediately brightened up and arched upwards.
She pressed her lips into a straight line, trying to hide the obvious emotions on her face.
Her peach - blossom eyes, covered with a layer of mist, managed to squeeze out a look of joy. She waved at Lin Yu as a farewell.
Tang Manman didn't want Lin Yu to see her crying.
She had once spent a long time studying her own face in the mirror.
She thought she looked better when she smiled.
So when Lin Yu looked over,
she carefully put on a smile.
Her innocent and beautiful eyebrows and eyes relaxed,
like a dewy flower bud in full bloom.
But it seemed that Lin Yu, standing outside the cordon, had no interest in her at all.
Facing Tang Manman's bright but fragile smile,
he just simply nodded, then lowered his head and started to fiddle with his stupid phone again.
In the end,
he didn't even have the patience to watch Tang Manman walk into the security checkpoint.
He held his phone and turned around to leave.
He walked in a hurry as if there was something urgent.
And in fact, Lin Yu did have something urgent.
Damn it!
If he wasted any more time with Tang Manman, he would miss his flight to City N!
Lin Yu rushed out of the airport in a hurry, his steps as fast as if the wind was at his feet.
Lin Yu's original plan today was to see Tang Manman off on a slower flight.
Then he would go to another airport and take a faster flight to City N first.
He hoped to be able to stand outside the airport with a bunch of flowers in his hands before Tang Manman landed, giving her a super - duper big surprise.
But Lin Yu had overlooked a crucial factor when making the plan.
Traffic jams!
It was Sunday today.
The journey to the other airport usually only took thirty minutes by car.
When Lin Yu casually glanced at the ride - hailing app, he was shocked to find that the estimated travel time was over an hour and a half.
As a result,
after subtracting the travel time from the originally ample time in Lin Yu's plan, there wasn't much time left.
How could Lin Yu not be in a hurry?
Seeing that his plan was about to fail,
Lin Yu didn't even have time to care about Tang Manman.
He could only walk out of the airport while increasing the fare on the ride - hailing app to call for a taxi.
Lured by the money,
Lin Yu quickly booked a car on the app.
However, the situation was still not optimistic.
The driver said that it was the peak time at noon, and the road to the other airport would be very congested.
It would be considered fast if they could arrive in an hour and a half.
Just as Lin Yu was about to say something,
the phone he had been holding in his hand suddenly vibrated.
Lin Yu subconsciously looked down and found that it was a message from Xia Yueshan.
Xia Aodi: You said before that you might never come back after this time.
Xia Aodi: Then won't you really come to see my sister one more time?
Xia Aodi: It would be good to say goodbye to her in person.
Looking at the messages sent by Xia Yueshan, Lin Yu then noticed that about two hours ago, Xia Yueshan had also sent a message above these three messages.
The general meaning was similar to these three text messages, all trying to persuade him to go to his home and say goodbye to his sister in person.
Lin Yu stared at the four text messages on the screen.
His heart gradually began to waver.
After what the taxi driver said,
Lin Yu was already desperate about his original plan.
Since it was very difficult to catch that flight, it seemed that he didn't need to leave in such a hurry.
Then why not go to Xia Muzhu's house for a meal?
He could have a good farewell, have a chat, and clear up some possible misunderstandings completely.
This option wasn't bad...
...
Lin Yu held the phone in his hand.
His pure - colored pupils reflected the green - and - white chat history on the phone screen. His bright and dark eyes were illuminated by the light coming in from the window, and it seemed that two forces were fighting inside.
A moment later,
Lin Yu made a decision.
He put down the phone, looked up, and through the reflection of the rear - view mirror, his eyes met the driver's sallow face. He said seriously:
"Sir."
"Go to the airport."
"Please try to drive as fast as possible while ensuring safety and not violating any rules."
"If you can get there within eighty minutes,
I'll give you a four - digit red envelope!"
Facts have proved that
if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it.
As soon as the words "big red envelope" came out of Lin Yu's mouth and before they even landed,
the driver in the front row suddenly stepped on the clutch, changed gears, and said something like "no need, no need", but his body was very honest as he accelerated the car.
In one hour and seven minutes,
even less than seventy minutes,
the online car - hailing service stopped steadily outside the airport.
Lin Yu endured the churning in his stomach and gave the driver a thumbs - up. He transferred a big red envelope of 1888 yuan to the driver as promised before.
He got out of the car and rushed into the airport.
Thanks to the precious thirteen minutes the driver had fought for in the congested traffic,
Lin Yu successfully passed through the security check and boarded the plane.
The plane was towed to the runway by the tractor and soon smoothly took off into the air.
Lin Yu sat by the window.
Looking at City H, which was getting smaller and smaller outside the porthole, he remembered what he had said to Xia Yueshan before that he might never come back.
Now that he thought about it,
Lin Yu felt that those words were a bit off - base.
He should still come back here.
After being with Tang Manman in the future, how could he not accompany her back to her hometown?
