Chapter 944: Boarding
Shao Nanyin suddenly stopped and looked up at the arched dome above her head for no reason.
Her gaze passed through the glass, and upwards was the black sky above Chicago O'Hare Airport. Looking at the sky of a thousand meters, the strong wind blew the clouds and rolled deeper black out of the rolling gap. Suddenly, a trace of coldness that seemed to the universe dripped from the dark gap, falling from the crack of the clouds, and falling on the dome within its sight. With a click, it shattered into a star-like flower.
The sound of rain filled the heads. The passengers boarding the suitcases in the T5 International Terminal all looked up afterwards and saw the silver petals scattered around the arched dome. In the midst of the rain, boarding in the late night added a little wet and clingy rush.
In the terminal illuminated by gentle lights, the night weather forecast was broadcast on the TV screen on the ceiling. An unexpected light rain fell at night in Chicago. If you stand at the 360° observation deck, you can see the tilted black rain curtain rushing towards this side along the lake wind, like a reckless child rushing into the city, bringing the noise to the streets and alleys.
"It's raining?" Shao Nanqin, who was dragging her suitcase and raising her head beside her, asked, "A light blue suit jacket on the shoulder of her dress."
"Well, it's raining, maybe it's a good sign." Shao Nanyin, who stopped in the same place, with his eyes closed, reached out to take the suitcase from Nanqin's hand without looking back, and accelerated his pace to board the plane. The white heeled sandals pedaled on the ground of the terminal.
"Slow down, Nanyin, it's not time to boarding, and you have to sit and wait when you go." Seeing this, Shao Nanqin quickly followed his sister, with a full of wonder, "What are we anxious about? Why are we suddenly in a hurry to go home?"
Shao Nanyin, who was strode forward with her suitcase, suddenly stopped: "Sister, do you believe me?"
"I believe, you are my sister. If I don't believe me, who do you believe?" said Shao Nanqin.
"If you believe me, please follow me quickly. I have a premonition that if you stay here again, you will encounter something terrible." Shao Nanyin just explained this, walking forward, and looking around from time to time, as if looking for something.
Who is she looking for? Or is she worried about something?
Shao Nanqin, who was watching this scene silently behind, felt that Shao Nanyin was walking in front of her like a wild cat who had accidentally entered the airport, walking tremblingly on the smooth and shiny terminal floor. The light of each light sign and the sound of the passenger's suitcase pulling her wheels would make her stand up.
Shao Nanqin clearly remembers that she had not graduated from high school, and her sister Nanyin had worked in a social place like nightclub for many years. In less than a few years, she saved enough money to buy a high-end apartment for them. During that period so far, Nanyin had been involved in all kinds of mixed people and various complex situations.
Shao Nanqin even saw Nanyin's shadow in the large-scale nightclub announced on the city-wide nightclub. It is said that a fight occurred in a nightclub due to uneven profit distribution, and many people were injured and even died. As the person in charge of the nightclub, Nanyin was not injured at all, and the police station did not ask about her at all. After returning home, she still looked like she was laughing and unscrupulous. It seemed that no trouble could cause her to get involved, and no one needed to worry about her.
However, on Nanyin's side face, all the negative emotions that Nanqin rarely sees appear today - worry, irritability, panic. In Shao Nanqin's memory, she had never seen such emotions appear in Shao Nanyin.
Shao Nanyin, who was radiating this emotion, was like a human-shaped powder keg. Everyone could feel that this beautiful girl was now very thorny, but even such a powder keg was the charming powder keg, which could still attract bees and butterflies. But in the current situation, most men took the courage to tidy up their collar hairstyle and took a step forward to catch the sharp gaze of the girl, so they turned around like a mouse who saw a cat and left with embarrassment.
The idiom worried and uneasy should not appear in Shao Nanyin's dictionary. Once Nanyin, who is the pillar of a family, she may really be about to fall.
But why did the sky collapse? Where did it collapse? Shao Nanqin knew nothing.
If she remembered correctly, they had not encountered anything bad in the past few days until now. But during the day, specifically in the afternoon, Nan Yin suddenly became furious and pulled herself back to the hotel and told her in a hurry to return to China and end the journey that had just begun.
Originally, Nanqin thought Nanyin was sick, but the mercury thermometer showed normal values. The impatience the other party showed was not like a fake. It seemed that they were about to be in trouble, which made her feel a little panicked, so she could only pack her luggage and book the last flight ticket for the evening.
The ticket was from Chicago Orhei Airport to Shanghai Pudong International Airport, taking the American Airlines AA B787-9 Boeing aircraft. It took 15 hours to get there without a transfer. Since it was a temporary ticket, I only paid extra to book the economy class. The seats were not connected, but after all, I bought it before the ticket was sold out.
But in this way, the return ticket originally booked by the company will be invalid. The seven-day trip to Chicago includes hotel fees, subway fees, catering fees and transportation fees. Among them, the air tickets were booked for the return tickets seven days after departure, and I don’t know if they can be successfully refunded.
"Tell me, what happened is that I can know what to do if something happens in the future." Shao Nanqin gently grabbed Shao Nanyin's arm pulling the suitcase. She felt that she should know something, otherwise she would not be at a loss if anything really happened afterwards.
"Really... nothing happened." Shao Nanyin said softly.
"If we weren't abroad, I really think you would have encountered a debt-chasing gangster brother." Shao Nanqin couldn't help but make her tone more humorous, and looked at the surrounding terminals like Nanyin.
It's already night now, and there are people rushing to board the plane in the terminal. Many of them will stop for a second or two to watch the exotic twins on the road. A handsome British man wearing a checkered scarf also tried to come up and chat with Shao Nanyin, but was immediately forced back by a fierce look. You must know that in normal times, Nanyin never refuses such chat.
"So what's wrong? There must be a reason why you are anxious to look like this, right?" Shao Nanqin glanced at the women's watch in her hand and found that there was still some time before boarding. So she walked to the bar dining table next to her, and sat down. There was an automatic music piano playing Sati's soothing "Ginonoth No. 1" on the roadside.
Shao Nanyin was still unwilling to speak while sitting in front of the dining table. She was just worried and looked at the waiting passengers passing by the aisle from time to time. There was always a feeling that someone was following her, and from time to time she was pronounced unconscious words, such as: seven days, travel, coincidence, etc.
Shao Nanqin thought silently for a long time when she saw her appearance, and suddenly asked at a certain moment: "Nanyin, is it because of Lin Nian's affairs? Are you in such a hurry to leave because of them?"
Shao Nanyin's arm, which was placed on the dining table, joking slightly, but she subconsciously vetoed, "What are you talking about, how can it be, what does it have to do with them?"
"Yes, what's up to them? You have to tell me about this." Shao Nanqin turned her head and looked at her sister.
“…”
"But after all, we met them today. You were also having a sudden problem in the middle of playing on the beach... At that time, I was still with Lin Nian's girlfriend, and you should be... um."
Shao Nanqin recalled the scene at that time, remembering that the personnel were distributed at that time. Lin Nian's girlfriend Su Xiaoxiang and she were basking in the sun and chatting on the beach. Several of their classmates, Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi, were building sand castles with the boy with blue eyes, who seemed to have a little autism. The face of the three good students was very suitable for her spouse style, and the handsome black-haired guy who brought them eight American hot dogs.
What about Shao Nanyin?
"At that time, were you with Lin Nian? What did you do?" Shao Nanqin recalled and turned her head and looked at Shao Nanyin strangely.
"We did nothing." Shao Nanyin's expression was not very good-looking.
"At that time, you seemed to be alone? Lin Nian's girlfriend and classmates were teaching me to swim. You said you went over and chatted with Lin Nian for a while and then wandered away, and then you didn't see you anymore."
"I...I went to find him at that time."
"So you were alone for a while and then...uh, how long have you been alone...I'll go, wait, are you?" Shao Nanqin's expression suddenly became exciting, as if a switch in her brain was triggered by her sister's desire to speak, and her face was full of sorrow. Various factors and conditions gathered together and burst out with brilliant... gossip.
"Calling your home girl's brain!"
Shao Nanyin was angry. No need to guess that she knew what her sister, who was wrapped in a quilt on the bed after get off work, was eating potato chips and chasing the bloody drama, was thinking at the moment.
"Otherwise! I can't think of the second reason why you suddenly changed your temperament after meeting Lin Nian!" Shao Nanqin saw that her sister's appearance was probably killing her. All this was related to the childhood friend of the orphanage, or... a bamboo horse? I can barely see the boy and girl who grew up under the roof of the same orphanage, which is considered childhood sweethearts, right?
"It won't be true, right? Is it because of Lin Nian, you... like this now?"
"I don't..." Nan Yin wanted to veto it, but the veto was not so resolute, because the real facts were really related to what Shao Nanqin guessed in a sense.
"Don't do this, Nanyin. Although Qingmei can't beat the sky, I haven't seen her for so many years. If you really like it, why don't you fall from the sky?" Shao Nanqin was shocked, but quickly followed her logic and comforted her.
Shao Nanyin finally couldn't help rolling her eyes and looked at her sister disgustedly. If she guessed correctly, the logic that burst out in her sister's mind was probably: her sister Shao Nanyin had been in love for many years and had been secretly in love with Zhuma Linnian. Many years later, she found that Zhuma and the rich lady from the sky had made a lifelong confession. She collapsed and said that her love was rejected for many years, so she was sad and sad to leave Chicago on a plane.
Well, at least this is the most consistent explanation that Shao Nanqin can think of, and the more she thinks, the more reasonable she becomes! Because she really can't imagine what can make Shao Nanyin panic - except love! Love with extremely magical power can make Nanyin, a magical girl, become ordinary.
"That's weird."
Shao Nanyin couldn't help it anymore and broke off Shao Nanqin's thoughts, mainly because the more he said it, the more outrageous he became, and even said something: "Although Nanyin, you can make money with the ability, I think Lin Nian's girlfriend's family is really a wealthy family, and we can't compare to it." Such bad words!
"Stop thinking about it, it doesn't matter if it's all right? I don't like Lin Nian, and Lin Nian doesn't like me either. I don't have the plot of the 8 o'clock romance drama you thought about." Nan Yin sighed, "I'm just worried about some other things."
"Is that related to Lin Nian?"
"It has nothing to do with him..." Shao Nanyin subconsciously wanted to say that it had nothing to do with it, but she found that her sister was staring at her intently, which made her hesitate whether to lie.
If it were normal times, even if she lies, Nan Qin would not be able to see it. But now it is different. Her emotions fluctuated, and the "magnetic field" that seemed to be omnipotent also appeared. If Nan Qin was with her day and night, she would definitely see the disconfidence and hesitation in her words.
Even after she hesitated for a half second, Nan Qin also got the answer.
"Why did he do you?"
"He didn't have much of me." Shao Nanyin waved her hand, "Sister, don't think about it, we just talked about the past for a while."
"We have talked at the bar before. At that time, you didn't respond much, so why did something go wrong when you chat in private?"
"That's different, but I suddenly discovered some problems later." When Nanyin said this, a hint of impatience flashed between her eyebrows. Shao Nanqin's intuition told her that all the troubles of her sister might be from the "problems" mentioned in their private chat.
"Seeing how you look, I ask you directly, you shouldn't tell me... Can you tell me what the topics you are talking about?" Shao Nanqin asked patiently, "It's related to money or to love?"
"Is it okay if I can't get along with the relationship with money at all?" Shao Nanyin smiled bitterly.
"What is that related to? You have to tell me that Lin Nian is also an acquaintance of mine. Maybe we will meet again in the future. It is strange enough for us to part without saying goodbye this time."
Shao Nanyin shut up and was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Lin Xian is not by his side."
Shao Nanqin was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"
"His sister, his sister is not by her side." Shao Nanyin said word by word.
"This...isn't we known about it at the beginning?" Shao Nanqin became more and more lush.
"Yes, so later I slowly figured out why her sister was not by her side." Shao Nanyin said with a slight stern, "After thinking it through, I felt that the problem was big."
"Su Xiaoxiang said that Lin Xian had some conflicts with Lin Nian and was temporarily separated? She should still be in China now, maybe she is in her hometown." Shao Nanqin couldn't help but explain.
"Did Su Xiaoxiang say it? That Lin Nian's colleague?" Shao Nanyin took a deep breath, "It's really because of 'contradiction' that separates, and because of 'contradiction' that Lin Xian is gone. This is really simple and direct reason... The scene must have been very exciting at that time."
"Do you mean a quarrel? Su Xiaoxiang didn't say what they were quarreling..."
"It's not just a quarrel." Shao Nanyin seemed to think of some scene and couldn't help but hold her forehead, "That woman isn't that stupid... she actually plays herself in!"
"That woman? Are you talking about Lin Xian? What did she mean to play herself?" Shao Nanqin felt that Nanyin was simply talking with a fever, and her preface was inconsistent with her.
"Let's go, hurry up." Shao Nanyin stood up, left the bar and brought her luggage. She turned her head and looked at Shao Nanqin who was still sitting with confusion for a few seconds, and said in a soft voice, "Sister, just think I beg you. I'm talking straight now. I think I'm going back to China because of Lin Nian's group of people, and I and those groups... I don't match. I don't like them. If I stay with them for a long time, I may have a very bad thing, so I think I'll stay away from them now, the farther away the better!"
"You... hate Lin Nian and the others?"
Shao Nanyin paused for a long time, then nodded.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore... Then let's go." Shao Nanqin stood up and hugged her sister standing there holding her suitcase.
Although Shao Nanyin's logic and behavior are strange, because she hates the person she meets and wants to give up a journey that could have been very beautiful, traveling thousands of miles away? Anyone will think that Shao Nanyin is crazy, but Shao Nanqin is different. Even if Shao Nanyin is crazy, she will accompany Nanyin to go crazy. Shao Nanyin said she didn't want to see Lin Nian and the others, so she had to take a plane back, so she booked these two air tickets as soon as possible without any hesitation.
"It's time to go." Shao Nanqin glanced at her watch and said, "Prepare to board the plane. If you don't want to say anything now, let's just talk about it slowly when we go back."
Shao Nanyin stared at his sister for a while, then nodded seriously, "Let's go back and say, as long as you go back, everything will be fine."
They dragged their suitcases away from the bar and the musical piano that played automatically remained in the distance behind them. A long queue was already lined up at the boarding queue not far away. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Boeing planes quietly stopped beside the terminal on a rainy night, and the wings trembled slightly in the wind.
