"Exactly, exactly, he’s really handsome." Handsome enough to make even men feel inferior.
Some passengers who have already recognized An Nan help resolve everyone’s confusion: "That’s Vince Airlines’ only female captain. I heard she’s only 28 this year, 172 cm tall, weighs..."
The figure that has already walked away doesn’t hear these people’s conversation, otherwise, she would surely feel embarrassed for these gossipers.
Walking, walking, An Nan’s pace suddenly slows down, her eyes fixed on a text message on the phone screen, slightly bewildered. Who is this? It’s an unfamiliar number, but it accurately calls out her name, so it should be someone she knows, but who exactly?
Just as An Nan is puzzled, the phone rings again, displaying the caller’s name as Zhan Qiyi, making An Nan immediately toss the strange message to the back of her mind and pick up the call: "Qi Yi, what’s up?"
A teasing voice quickly comes from the other end: "Can’t I call you if there’s nothing up?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI★Fire.net
"No, it’s not that." As she speaks to the person on the other end, she continues walking forward.
"It’s been a while, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
"Sure, send me the address later, I’ll go home, take a shower, change clothes, then head over."
"Okay, see you tonight."
As soon as An Nan hangs up the phone, she sees another text message from the same unfamiliar number: "Do you have time tonight? Have dinner together."
Staring at her phone for a while, she initially thought of calling back to ask who it was, but thinking again, an unfamiliar number is likely someone she’s not familiar with. Since they’re not familiar, there’s no need to have dinner together, so she then tosses the message aside and heads towards the employee parking lot.
Returning home, she takes a quick shower, changes into her usual clothes, and Zhan Qiyi’s address has already arrived. Grabbing her bag, An Nan swiftly heads out.
Tonight, she’s not planning on drinking, so she drives herself over.
Arriving at the agreed restaurant, she parks her car, walks into this Chinese restaurant, and mentions Zhan Qiyi’s name. The waiter quickly leads her to a booth where a handsome and elegant man is already waiting.
An Nan thanks the waiter and steps forward, without speaking first, she instead sits opposite the man, mimicking him by gazing out the window at the bustling crowd. After a long time, she finally speaks: "Every person is hurriedly coming and going, but who knows where their destination is?"
The man opposite has already returned to his senses and looks at her: "Then what is your destination?"
She turns back to meet his gaze, then shakes her head: "I don’t know."
"Don’t think about it if you don’t know, when the time comes, you’ll naturally know where your destination is." The man speaks, his gaze gently fixated on the person opposite all the while.
But An Nan’s attention is entirely on the bustling crowd outside the window, completely unaware of this.
Just like that, one gazes at the person opposite, one gazes out the window, everything around them becomes mere backdrop, as if between heaven and earth, there are only the two of them.
The perfect pairing falls into the eyes around them with envy, although the woman isn’t a stunning beauty, her good demeanor, sitting with a handsome man, can’t be disregarded. The atmosphere between them perfectly intertwines, giving a sense of comfort and peaceful beauty.
Others dare not disturb them; even the waiter’s movements are extremely gentle, as if afraid to disrupt the scene before them.
The waiter retreats after setting the dishes, and the area surrounding the two once again becomes a vacuum.
