Gao Lie shook his head and said: "Not yet. But..." He suddenly paused, his eyes flickered, and he avoided Gong Xue's gaze. He changed his explanation: "One of the soldiers I originally led was from Qinghe Town.
His family has lived in Qinghe for generations, and I heard him talk about this ancient rope that can save time."
"Oh..." Gong Xue lowered her eyelashes and did not ask further. She and Gao Lie already had a deep tacit understanding. From the subtle changes in his expressions and the changes in his words, she could already roughly guess what he had just said.
What are the unfinished words?
Is the temporarily suspended mission related to Qinghe?
So this time when they return to Tianying, will she be given an important task by him?
There were so many questions that she wanted to ask but couldn't. She bit her lips, calmed down her emotions, took the picture pages tied up by Gao Lie, and stuffed them back into her pocket, "It's getting late, let's go to the airport."
On the bus leading to the airport, Gong Xue fell asleep next to Gao Lie, probably because she was in a relaxed mood. After more than half an hour's drive, we soon arrived at the airport. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, Gao Lie couldn't bear to call her,
I had no choice but to ask the driver to wait for a while, and then he made up his mind to touch her face: "Xiaoxue, we are here. Xiaoxue!!"
Gong Xue first moved her eyelashes, then half-opened her eyes, looking confusedly at the familiar airport sign outside the car window.
"We're here..." She said to herself, without rubbing her face to wake up, she got up and walked out.
Seeing her dazed look, Gao Lie was angry and amused, "Wait for me, little ancestor, don't fall! Hey----------"
"Be careful----------" Along with the high-pitched screams came the nervous and trembling shouts of the driver.
The moment Gong Xue lost weight and lost his sense of balance, he instinctively used his own strength to stabilize his body. Then he stretched the arch of his foot as flat as possible. When he landed, he took a few steps forward and then touched the ground.
He turned around with an apologetic forehead, "Haha..."
Gao Lie, who rushed over to rescue her in a few steps, stood at the entrance of the car and kept the same movements as her. However, he rubbed his forehead with his hand a few times before glaring at the girl with a silly smile under the car and said: "
Still laughing! See if I don’t beat you up soon!”
The driver also calmed down. When he heard the word "beating", he quickly said: "I think this girl is quite smart. Has she practiced acrobatics? Just now I thought she must have fallen. Unexpectedly, she actually floated down with her.
Same!"
float?!
Did she float down?!
Gong Xue felt that the sunshine was not so good, but Gao Lie grinned like a sunflower, got down and hugged her, and walked towards the airport terminal.
He laughed while walking, and then successfully pissed off Gong Xue.
She didn't care about changing her boarding pass or checking in her luggage. Instead, she walked straight to the rest area, crossed her arms, lowered her head, and fell asleep with her eyes squinted.
Gao Lie smiled and shook his head, leaving her alone...
Before changing his boarding pass, he looked back at Gong Xue, who was motionless on the rest chair, and turned around to go to the supermarket at the airport.
The time was so short that they didn't even buy any local fruits and specialties. It didn't seem good to go back empty-handed...
After he selected nearly two cartons of things, the attitude of the middle-aged saleswoman changed obviously. She enthusiastically helped Gao Lie pack his flight bag, and then pulled a trolley to help put the boxes on the trolley.
In the car.
Gao Lie settled the payment and pushed his car to the check-in counter to change his boarding pass and check in his luggage. When he passed by the rest seat, he saw that the seat where his girl had been sitting was empty.
His heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and sharp. He turned the car in a circle, basically grasping the situation around him.
No.
He pushed the cart forward, intending to go outside the bathroom and wait and see. He had just walked a dozen meters away when his steps suddenly stopped.
In the airport lobby, in front of the electronic screen displaying flight departure and landing times, there were many passengers checking the information, and the person he was looking for stood in the center of the last row.
She didn't know what she was looking at so intently. When he walked over and was very close to her, she noticed something and turned around suddenly.
"Ariel..." She called him, and the emotion in her eyes that she couldn't hide in time fell into his eyes...
His heart softened, and the worry just now dissipated. He put away the sharp edge of his body, walked over, lowered his head, and touched her warm face, "Why are you here?"
Gong Xue smiled and said with an unnatural expression: "I want to see if the flight back to Mobei is still there. Unexpectedly, it is still operating... You see, it is so close to our departure time.
"
She pointed at the flickering electronic screen, with a hint of yearning in her eyes.
It was not because he thought of A Yuan, but because he was homesick. This sudden realization made Gao Lie's mood rise from the bottom of the valley to the sky.
His eyes moved slightly, he held her hand and said, "Yes, they are quite close. How about we exchange our air tickets back to Mobei!"
Gong Xue was stunned for a moment, then hit him and said, "You're teasing me again!"
Then, she looked at the electronic screen again and sighed: "I don't know when I can take you back to Mobei."
Her head began to hurt when she thought that Gao Lie was still a stranger in the Gong family and she was secretly married.
It's time to tell her family, her second uncle, her second aunt, Taotao, and Aunt Tian, and of course, her old Ayuan...
Gao Lie smiled and said nothing.
Perhaps seeing the flight to Mobei affected Gong Xue's mood, Gao Lie still went through all the formalities alone, and then went to the departure hall to wait for boarding with his arms around her.
Due to special reasons, several flights departed within half an hour, so when they arrived at the terminal, the waiting seats for Chengdu were all occupied.
Gao Lie led her around and finally found two empty seats at the waiting seat for the flight to Mobei.
"Sit here first, and then go over there when it's time." Gao Lie took the newspaper off the chair and pressed Gong Xue on the seat.
Then he also sat down and stretched his arms naturally to protect Gong Xue within his sphere of influence.
It was quite good originally.
He planned to spend the next thirty minutes happily chatting with Xiaoxue, but as soon as the time passed, he felt like he was on pins and needles...
The eyes of the women across from him were so intense that from the moment he sat down, their eyes were focused on him.
Gong Xue, on the other hand, seemed very leisurely and at ease, with her eyes slightly narrowed and her breathing even, leaning back on his arm. She had obviously fallen into a light sleep.
"He is of mixed race... Look, his eyes are not black..."
"And it's a little concave, like European eyes."
"The body is also super good. I bet it's got eight-pack abs! Look at that woman's intoxicated look, she must be extremely satisfied with him..."
"whee...."
"Ha ha....."
The whispers on the other side became louder and louder, causing the people around him to cast inquisitive glances at him, and Gao Lie's face darkened little by little.
Normally, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to these boring women, or even look at them, but it's different now. Xiaoxue is by his side, and he has already shown so clearly that he has a wife.
