After Xi Haitang got off the taxi, she ran straight into the airport hall. She only felt that her steps were extremely frivolous. Looking around, the airport hall was full of people passing by in a hurry, coming and going in an endless stream. Everyone's cheeks were full of people.
Whether sad, happy, anxious, or relieved, it seems that beneath every face there is a life riddled with holes.
She seemed to see Gu Xijue's figure in the crowd. It seemed that he was there, but it seemed to be an illusion she had in a trance.
Looking up at the large electronic screen hanging in the center of the airport hall, I saw that there were a total of five flights taking off between nine and ten o'clock in the evening, four of which had already taken off, and the last one was bound for Moscow.
I raised my hand and looked at my watch. It was already nine-twenty!
Xi Haitang quickly ran to the service desk and asked, "Excuse me, could you help me check if there is a passenger named Gu Xijue on the flight to Moscow?!"
"Okay, please wait a moment." The beautiful woman in front of the service desk smiled gently and looked up the passenger list on the computer.
In less than a minute, there was a result, "Yes."
Xi Haitang breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thank you... Could you please tell me again, what time does that flight take off and what terminal number is it in?"
"Take off at 9:25, five minutes left, Terminal 6."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Xi Haitang thanked her repeatedly, and then ran to Terminal 6 without stopping.

"Gu Xijue... Gu Xijue..." Xi Haitang shouted as she ran, attracting a lot of side glances from others, but she was completely unaware of it and only wanted to find him.
The airport security guard saw her yelling loudly and came to stop her, "Miss, you are not allowed to make loud noises here."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I want to find someone!"
"Miss...you will make things difficult for us."
Xi Haitang looked anxious, "I'm really anxious, the plane will take off soon, I only have five minutes!"
"Miss, why don't we help you broadcast the missing person? Come over and register first?"
"It's less than five minutes, why should I register?!" Xi Haitang stamped her feet anxiously. She couldn't care less, bypassed the two security guards, and hurriedly ran to the elevator.
There were many people on the elevator and the speed was very slow. Xi Haitang had no choice but to squeeze in and out, constantly saying sorry to the people she bumped into, but not daring to delay her pace for a moment.
Finally, she arrived at Terminal 6 on the third floor.

"Gu Xijue...Gu Xijue..." She called his name and looked around.
The final check-in procedures had already begun, and some passengers had already entered the gate. Seeing this, Xi Haitang ran over, rushed to the check-in area, and asked the staff, "I'm sorry, could I ask about the check-in procedures?"
Has it officially started? Has anyone already boarded the plane?!"
The staff member was stunned by her eager tone, but quickly adjusted her mood and replied with a smile, "Yes, Miss, the inspection work is already halfway through."
"Has a passenger named Gu Xijue already entered?!"
"Uh... I'm sorry, miss, I haven't made the final statistics yet." The staff member said tactfully, "Miss, please don't hinder me from continuing to work, okay? The plane will take off soon, and the people behind are still waiting.
Going through the formalities!"
Xi Haitang looked back and walked around in the long queue. There was no sign of Gu Xijue. He must have boarded the plane!
"Can I get on the plane and take a look? I need to find someone!"
"Miss, this is against the rules..."
"I'm really anxious! I want to find... the father of my child! I must find him!"
Seeing Xi Haitang's eagerness, the staff member showed some sympathy in his eyes, but he had to take responsibility for his duties. The airport's rules and regulations were there, and there was nothing he could do about it, and she would hinder other passengers.
"Miss, let's do this. You wait here for a moment. I'll check it for you after I've completed everyone's procedures. I have the ticket stubs of every passenger who has boarded the plane, and I can check them out soon."
"Show me the ticket stub and I'll check it myself!"
"Miss...this is against the rules..."
Xi Haitang dropped his shoulders dejectedly. Those waiting to board the plane had begun to become impatient. As a last resort, the only thing Xi Haitang could do was to wait.
Time flies by second by second, and another minute and a half has passed!
Finally, all the waiting passengers completed the formalities and boarded the plane.
Xi Haitang asked the staff worriedly, "Please help me check it quickly!"
"Okay, what's the name of the person you're looking for?"
"Gu Xijue! The consideration that looks forward to, the pity that cherishes, the jue of Shijue."
"Well..." The staff member lowered his head and turned over the ticket stubs. Xi Haitang's heart skipped a beat every time he turned over one.
A thick stack of ticket stubs was flipped to the bottom, and the last one still didn't have Gu Xijue's name on it, "I'm sorry, miss, the person you are looking for did not board the plane."
"What?!" Xi Haitang couldn't believe it, "Please help me check again. I asked the service desk to make sure he booked a ticket for this flight!"
"Miss, just booking a flight doesn't mean he will definitely get on the plane. The ticket stubs I have here are 156. There really is no such person."
Xi Haitang was stunned for a moment. His heart seemed to be blocked by something. It was so blocked that he felt so stuffy that it was difficult to breathe. A wisp of coolness entered his throat, and his scattered vision concentrated and then slowly gathered.
.
She silently looked at the large glass revolving door of the terminal, the buildings made of reinforced concrete, the dazzling lights, the noisy and crowded aisles, the hurried pedestrians, walking back and forth, laughing, crying, tired, in the field of vision
The colors are dense and unreal, the time is wasted and gorgeous, and people can never find the end.
She imagined that as soon as she opened the door, she would be able to see his desolate and refreshing figure, but no.
