Chapter 137 You’d better quarrel with me
Xu Chen got up early, had a bite at the hotel restaurant, collected his things and checked out of the room.
After going out and looking at the congestion on the street, I decided to take the subway to the airport.
The subway is equally crowded, but the time is still more controllable than taking a taxi.
Xu Chen yawned and stood in the corner of the carriage, holding a book of exercises in his hand, still studying on the way...
When we arrived at the airport, it was still an hour before takeoff, which was relatively easy.
After passing the security check, I quickly walked towards the boarding gate...
At Gate 39, the benches were already full of people.
Xu Chen walked around twice trying to find an empty seat, but stopped on a bench somewhere...
Xie Bingran was sitting there, holding a brown leather backpack in her arms, her head drooped as if she was asleep.
Xu Chen was stunned for a while, not expecting to see Xie Bingran here.
He showed a hint of doubt, then looked down at the boarding pass in his hand, seeming to understand something.
At this moment, Xie Bingran moved and just woke up.
She lowered her head slightly and raised her eyes to see Xu Chen's feet in front of her.
She didn't look up, she just moved her body and sat up straighter.
Even lowered his head deeper.
Like a child who did something wrong and was caught by an adult...
Xu Chen whispered:
"Here's the boarding pass, let me take a look."
Xie Bingran still didn't look up, took it out of his pocket, reached out and handed over the boarding pass.
Xu Chen took it and took a look, frowned, and was speechless.
It was indeed on the same flight as myself.
He looked down at Xie Bingran again, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
You don’t have to think about it to know that you must have spent the night at the airport...
"Wait for me."
He took two boarding passes and turned to the boarding gate.
Xie Bingran saw him chatting with the door staff for a few words, then turned around and walked back.
"Come on, let's switch seats together. We have to go to the check-in counter to do it again..."
With that said, Xu Chen turned around and walked quickly in the opposite direction.
Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, stood up quickly, and chased after him with his backpack in his arms.
As she chased after him, she couldn't help but smile secretly.
……
The two jogged all the way through the security check and returned to the departure hall.
Xu Chen didn't stop, Xie Bingran followed behind.
The airport was still huge and empty. After jogging for a while, Xu Chen was already out of breath.
Looking back at Xie Bingran, whose expression remained unchanged and his breathing was smooth as usual, he complained in a low voice:
"Teach me how to exercise later. I really can't keep up with your physical strength."
"Oh."
The two finally arrived at the check-in counter. Xu Chen saw the long queue and explained the situation to a staff member next to him.
Then we came to an "expedited" counter, with only two people queuing in front.
Xu Chen stood in line and whispered to Xie Bingran beside him:
"It may not be possible to switch together. It depends on whether there are available row seats."
"Okay."
"Next time... you tell me, I will find a way, don't make the decision yourself."
"Oh."
……
Soon there were two people in line. Xu Chen handed over two boarding passes and explained the need to change the check-in together.
The staff member worked on the computer for a while and then said:
“There are connected empty seats, but they are in the last two rows of the cabin, so the comfort may be worse.”
"It's okay, help us change together." Xu Chen said.
The staff did some more work and handed over a list:
"This needs to be signed."
Xu Chen picked up the signature pen on the table, but found that the pen was broken and could not write.
He pulled the backpack behind him, took out a black water-based pen from the small pocket on the side, and signed his name on the piece of paper.
Xie Bingran accidentally noticed that the pen in Xu Chen's hand was the one she had given to him before.
I can't help but feel a little happy again...
After some operations, the two finally got the new boarding pass.
Xu Chen looked at the time and saw that it was still enough, so he led Xie Bingran and quickly walked back to the security check.
He walked breathlessly and said with a smile:
"There is no need to exercise these days. I must have exercised enough."
He turned to look at Xie Bingran, his expression was still the same and his breathing had not changed at all.
Xu Chen: "..."
The two queued up again and passed the security check. When they reached the boarding gate, Xu Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
"Have you eaten yet?" Xu Chen asked.
"No."
"Let me take you to eat a bowl of noodles. There is clear water and you can cook a bowl of clean vegetables..."
"Oh."
……
The noodle shop next to the boarding gate had two or three customers sitting here and there.
Xie Bingran went to find a seat first, while Xu Chen went to order food.
The food at the airport is terrible and expensive, but it's just about making ends meet.
Xu Chen had eaten breakfast, but he knew without thinking that Xie Bingran was still hungry.
After a while, Xu Chen brought two bowls of noodles on a tray and gave one of them to Xie Bingran, which contained only vegetables and noodles.
"How did you spend last night?"
"Just slept for a while at the airport..."
Xu Chen ate the noodles and shook his head helplessly.
Xie Bingran raised his eyes at Xu Chen and added:
"There is a rest area in the departure hall with benches where you can lie down..." "That's also very uncomfortable."
"Oh..."
Xie Bingran picked up her backpack, unzipped it, took out the two heavy envelopes from the innermost position, and put them in front of Xu Chen.
"What is this?"
Xie Bingran lowered his head slightly:
"There are twenty-two thousand here...
I owed you 37,000 before. I will repay you 22,000 first, and the rest will have to wait. ”
Xu Chen looked at the two bulging envelopes on the table and was silent for a moment.
"You waited at the airport all night just for this?"
Thirty-seven thousand yuan was the debt Xie Bingran owed when her grandma was sick and needed money.
Xu Chen went to help and returned it, not even thinking about asking Xie Bingran for it...
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xie Bingran lowered his head slightly, with broken hair on his forehead covering his eyebrows. He looked like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered:
"I don’t know when I will see you next time..."
Xu Chen: "After the college entrance examination is over, I can go to the provincial capital to see you.
When I go to college in the same city, I can come and hang out with you.
Besides, I have signed an endorsement contract with you, so I will probably have to look for you to shoot an advertisement in a while..."
Xie Bingran still lowered his head slightly and did not speak.
Xu Chen looked at the two envelopes on the table and said:
"I'm not short of money. Even if I really need you to pay it back, I don't have to pay it back now.
Besides, I signed an endorsement advertisement with you without spending any money, and I still owe you. ”
Xie Bingran: "These are two different things...
This thirty-seven thousand is owed to you separately. I have to pay you back. I also wrote an IOU at the beginning. ”
She whispered, her tone cold and stubborn.
Xu Chen looked at Xie Bingran's serious expression with a look of helplessness:
"You are so brave. A girl is wandering outside with more than 20,000 yuan in cash.
Public security is not that good now, so I don’t even dare to do this. ”
Xie Bingran thought of what happened last night, but was not prepared to mention it at all.
She thought for a while and then said:
"You got off the plane in the provincial capital. I'll accompany you to the provincial capital airport and find a bank to deposit it in."
She looked up at Xu Chen again and said seriously:
"Hurry up and put it away. I'm here to pay you back."
Xu Chen knew without thinking that this was almost all the savings in Xie Bingran's hands.
Last time, the city leaders said they would give a bonus of 20,000 yuan. The extra 2,000 yuan may have been saved previously.
Xu Chen: "You gave me the money, do you still have any flowers in your hand?"
Xie Bingran said:
"When I'm in the team, I don't have to pay for food, accommodation, and clothes. I also receive monthly subsidies.
This time I won the championship. In addition to the prize money from the competition, there will also be a bonus from the province when I go back...
I don’t have anywhere to spend this money, so you should put it away quickly. ”
Xu Chen hesitated, then collected the two envelopes and stuffed them into his backpack.
Xie Bingran watched Xu Chen put away the money and finally smiled.
"I don't have the IOU you wrote for me with me."
"It doesn't matter..."
Xie Bingran picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles.
Xu Chen smiled and said again:
"I thought you waited until this morning just to take a flight with me, but I didn't expect it was for this reason."
Xie Bingran swallowed a mouthful of noodles, paused and whispered:
"It's just to take a flight with you and pay back the money..."
Xu Chen laughed, lowered his head and ate the noodles.
He ate quietly, but he was also thinking in his mind that he needed to find a way for Xie Bingran to increase his income as soon as possible.
He planned the sports brand "Ran Bing Sports" for Xie Bingran, and also left shares for Brother Bing.
However, this matter is currently immature in all aspects and cannot be started immediately.
When the "Morning Wind" electric vehicle is ready to go online, and the first model "Ice Power" starts filming commercials, Xie Bingran can be given an income first in the name of filming remuneration.
In addition, now that I have Dongchen Advertising business, I may be able to help her get endorsements in the future.
……
……
Soon there was a queue to board the plane.
I slowly boarded the cabin with the team and walked to the very back of the economy class.
This is a "small plane" with only three seats on one side.
"There are only two of us in this row. I asked about it when I checked in."
"Yeah."
Xie Bingran sat inside, while Xu Chen sat next to the aisle.
Both of them fastened their seat belts, and Xu Chen said:
"Get some sleep later. You must not have slept much last night."
Xie Bingran responded softly without saying anything.
The economy class was already cramped and crowded. Although Xie Bingran was a girl, she couldn't stretch her long legs.
The two sat next to each other, and in the small space, their arms touched each other from time to time.
Xie Bingran folded his hands in front of him, looking a little reserved.
"What's wrong?"
"No..."
Xu Chen smiled, took out a set of exercises from his bag, and said:
"I envy Brother Bing. I don't even have to take the college entrance examination. I still have to study hard!"
Xie Bingran turned around and looked at Xu Chen:
"Then I won't bother you."
Xu Chen thought for a while, then stuffed the exercise book into his school bag.
"You'd better quarrel with me. You've been waiting for me all night, and you can't just watch me do the questions."
He laughed again:
"The plane was too bumpy and I felt dizzy after reading for a while. Let me chat with you..."
