Chen Jiayu flew to Shanghai these two days. Just after landing in Pudong, when refueling on the ground, the ground crew discovered that the aircraft's refueling joint valve had a slight malfunction. After re-docking, there was still oil leakage. This delay was almost two hours. When the ground staff told Chen Jiayu the news, he broke into a cold sweat because he thought of the fuel problem at Jakarta Airport in Indonesia three years ago. The co-pilot who was flying with him might not have enough experience, or he might be worried that he didn't have enough duty hours this month, so he wanted to apply to the company to see if he could continue flying. Chen Jiayu was so angry that he said at that time I put it down and said, you still want to fly Flight 416 again, right? It will be too late to find out the problem in the sky! Anyway, I have used up my double-issue invalidation quota in this life, and I don’t want to do it again.
The first officer was speechless by what he said. Later, Chen Jiayu felt sorry for him and called the company's person in charge of scheduling to inquire. The administrator in charge of scheduling was named Wang Xiang, and he had a good relationship with him. He told him that there was a crew shortage for the flight departing from Pudong later that day. Chen Jiayu put in a few good words for the deputy captain and asked the company to arrange for him to perform the flight on his behalf. The mission of the first flight was over, and he was left to wait at Pudong Airport for the second flight to be temporarily transferred to other planes.
The flight was delayed for five hours, and Chen Jiayu and other flight attendants were waiting at Pudong Airport. He thought that waiting was also waiting, and he happened to send Lu Yan a WeChat message to ask her if she wanted to come for a meal.
Lu Yan happened to be off duty that day. She lived close to the airport, so she drove over to meet Chen Jiayu. In the past two months, Chen Jiayu also flew to Shanghai twice, but each time it was the same plane back and forth, with a short rest period in between, and Chen Jiayu rarely stayed overnight outside. This was the purpose of his application for short-haul flights at the time. Therefore, I never had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Lu Yan in Shanghai.
Lu Yan sat down and said to him: "Look, you are the only one who asked me to drive to the airport on my day off."
Chen Jiayu smiled, poured water for him, and said, "I haven't seen you for a month. How are you with Brother Lei?"
Lu Yan said: "We don't live together now, but we are looking for a house."
She chatted about the current situation of moving to Shanghai, then turned to Chen Jiayu and asked: "What about you, how are you doing? How is Daxing Airport?"
Chen Jiayu did not answer the first question, but said: "I heard that after you left, Daxing Control is now extremely busy."
Lu Yan was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Hey, Master Chen knows the intensity of the control work." Then she became curious again: "After I left, a senior approach controller went home to give birth to a baby. I heard He said he has been very busy recently. But...how did you know?"
Chen Jiayu took a deep breath, but still didn't want to hide it from her: "Well, one is that Zheng Xiaoxu and Xiao Chu are hooking up. It can be said that they are dating or developing a relationship. Moreover, Fang Hao and I are relatively familiar, so this I heard them both say it.”
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming at this time, so Lu Yan quickly lit a cigarette to calm down her shock: "It seems that you have done well after I left. You have digested it all internally." She was referring to Zheng Xiaoxu and Chu Yirou. She didn't expect that Go to Chen Jiayu and Fang Hao.
But when Chen Jiayu heard what she meant, he went straight to the gun: "Speaking of this, I wanted to ask you. I originally wanted to ask you on WeChat, but I decided to wait until I see you in person."
Lu Yan was smoking a lady's cigarette, thinking that he was going to find out information about Chu Yirou for his buddy Zheng Xiaoxu, so she snorted and nodded to signal Chen Jiayu to continue.
Chen Jiayu paused for a moment, then asked: "Is Fang Hao single?"
Lu Yan really didn't mean anything else just now. She just thought it was interesting that Zheng Xiaoxu fell in love with Chu Yirou. Little did she know that the date between the two was going smoothly, but it was Chen Jiayu and Fang Hao who were on fire in the backyard.
She was surprised, but she soon calmed down. After thinking about the cause and effect, she finally understood: "Actually, you should ask him yourself about this."
Chen Jiayu said nothing. He didn't wear a lot of hairspray today, probably because of the delay. His slightly long hair hung down from his forehead, looking a little more docile than his usual neat and sassy appearance.
Lu Yan has known him for a long time, so when he didn't speak, she knew that she was probably right, so she added: "Don't use those excuses like 'I asked for a flight attendant' to frustrate me. If it was for someone else, you could just ask Fang Hao himself. You came all the way to ask me, how many times have you come to me for big and small things about him, and I think you have a crush on him? "
Chen Jiayu frowned and corrected a factual error: "I really didn't ask you when I first asked you. I just wanted to have a good relationship."
Lu Yan sighed, smiled again, and said, "I didn't expect that, Chen Jiayu, but I should have thought of it a long time ago. It's a pity that Fang Hao has never talked to anyone in the circle. Over the years, there are many people chasing him. He promised none."
Chen Jiayu said oh without much reaction. On this kind of matter, he always keeps his emotions and anger a secret, which makes it difficult for people to understand sometimes.
Lu Yan flicked the ashes of his cigarette, took a sip of wine, and laughed at him again: "You should really ask him yourself about this matter. No matter what the result of asking me here is, you will have to reconcile with him in the end."
When the person opposite heard this, he didn't deny it. He just explained: "He doesn't necessarily need to know."
Probably thinking that Chen Jiayu's words were a bit abnormal, Lu Yan tilted her head and did not answer his words.
Chen Jiayu knew what she was thinking, so he focused on telling Lu Yan about the failure to turn on the landing lights and the subsequent conflict between him and Fang Hao. At the end, she couldn't stand listening anymore and said to him: "Why are you so so?" What's wrong? If you want to know anything, just ask him."
Chen Jiayu took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then said: "I can't say this. It seems that the way we open it up is not right." In the final analysis, Fang Hao's sarcastic words were particularly hurtful to Chen Jiayu. It was because he cared so much about Fang Hao's opinion that this sentence basically sounded to him as a complete denial of him. Therefore, even though Fang Hao later tried hard and sincerely apologized for his unscrupulous remarks, Chen Jiayu still did not untie the knot.
Lu Yan was a little stunned by what he said. She thought about his logic from his point of view, but in the end she still couldn't agree: "Then you just leave me alone? What are your plans?"
Chen Jiayu told her: "I planned to talk things out, but after calculation, I feel that my chances of winning are not great."
Lu Yan smiled softly. She understood why Chen Jiayu was so abnormal. Lu Yan has known him since she was a student, and knows that he has always been the type to take the initiative, and he has always devoted time, money, and energy to relationships. Therefore, this kind of attitude of putting himself out of the situation and watching from the other side is really unacceptable. Like him.
She paused and said: "I always feel that love is not about winning or losing. You always liked winning before, and you won with Liang Yinan. He didn't like you at first, but you got it in the end. You also won with Yan Yu. . But you can't always win, or in other words, you always have this idea." Liang Yinan was Chen Jiayu's ex-boyfriend in college. They broke up after graduation. Liang Yinan later went to Foreign Airlines.
Because it was an old story, no one mentioned this name in front of Chen Jiayu for probably a few years. Lu Yan had never told Chen Jiayu about such an explicit analysis before, and had always kept it in her heart. But seeing that the other party was confused, she had always been sincere to her friends, so she said without hiding it: "Fang Hao is a very principled person, but everyone's principles have limits. I don't know where his limits are. "She wanted to say, see how much he likes you, but she didn't see the two of them interacting, so she couldn't jump to conclusions, so she stopped there.
Chen Jiayu paused for a few seconds and did not deny it. He just said to her, "You are an expert on emotions. Do you have directions you can't guess?" Lu Yan is indeed a strategist among their circle of friends. Anyone who is trapped in love will ask her out. Have a chat. Chen Jiayu thought, she has known herself for more than ten years and Fang Hao for three years. Can she predict the possibility of the two of them? Isn't it just like one plus one equals two?
But Lu Yan still insisted: "If there are feelings, then the feelings must be talked about - you have to talk about it yourself."
Chen Jiayu nodded, as if he listened. After a while, he remembered Lu Yan's conversation and continued: "Before, you talked about Yan Yu." They had broached this topic when they were together in Xiangyuan, but they didn't talk about it at that time. Go down.
Lu Yan nodded and continued what he said: "Let's talk about what you want to say. When you broke up, there were really... rumors and everything."
"Oh?" Chen Jiayu became interested, "What are they spreading? Tell me."
"Well, some said she cheated on her, and some said she didn't want to do it anymore and would resign and you two were having a conflict. The most truthful thing I've heard is that she wanted to get married but you didn't." The rumors all depended on one mouth. Although Chen Jiayu and Yan Yu They are not a high-profile couple, but people in the industry basically know that they were once a couple. Chen Jiayu knew in his heart that he had not told anyone the whole story of the breakup, so he knew that the rumors must be either completely false or Yan Yu had told them.
"Well, the last one is closest to the truth. But it's not quite right," he said.
Lu Yan sat a little closer: "How do you say it?"
Chen Jiayu said frankly: "She did ask me if I wanted to get married. I said I didn't want to for the time being, but we didn't break up because she asked."
He slowly recalled almost three years ago. At that time, the relationship between him and Yan Yu was actually not very good, but Chen Jiayu was a person who missed his old relationship. He tried hard to convince himself to ignore the incompatibility in their relationship, and then relied on inertia to move on. Both of them were very busy at the time. One was the captain and the other was a flight attendant. Neither had a regular schedule, and they spent far more time apart than together. Therefore, if you want to live blindly and with a mask, it is actually much easier than uncovering the truth and being honest with each other.
Such mediocre inertia continued until the day when he finally made a dangerous emergency landing at Hong Kong Airport after flying from Jakarta to Shanghai. As the captain and chief pilot, all his energy was spent on trying to ensure flight safety. He didn't even think about whether he had left a suicide note. If he really died in this accident, how would he explain what happened after his death? What would his parents do? Who cares. But he remembered that at the moment when the huge and heavy fuselage finally stopped taxiing and stood at the end of the runway, he thought of his parents and his friends - he had gained the right to be reborn, and when he walked out of the cabin, he could fly again Saw them. However, he remembered that he did not think of Yan Yu. I don't know since when, he stopped thinking about her.
After the emergency landing in Hong Kong, he spent a considerable period of time in panic, uneasiness and self-doubt. At that time, he needed affirmation and companionship, and Yan Yu happened to be by his side, so he did not want to break up with Yan Yu at that time. The real turning point came three months later. On the night of New Year's Eve, Chen Jiayu drove home after taking the last flight. After arriving home, he did not want to go upstairs and see Yan Yu immediately. Instead, he sat in the car, watching the night and listening to the sound of firecrackers until midnight, enjoying a moment of tranquility and peace. At that moment, he suddenly realized that he actually didn't have to go upstairs. He had a choice. He could choose something else. Not talking about others, but... choose another life.
He knew that Yan Yu needed someone who would hold her in his hands and treat her like a treasure, and she thought Chen Jiayu was this person. This was not entirely due to her fantasy, because Chen Jiayu himself thought he was this person from the very beginning. But later, he found that he could no longer play this role, he would be tired, and he would be tired. Occasionally, extremely occasionally, he also wanted to be held in the palm of his hand. He realized that he didn't love Yan Yu anymore.
Therefore, when Yan Yu mentioned marriage again after that, Chen Jiayu finally confessed to her that she wanted to break up. In fact, after saying these words, it was not a bolt from the blue for Yan Yu. It can be said that both parties in an intimate relationship have had a premonition. However, she still doesn't understand why they suddenly stopped loving Chen Jiayu when they were doing well together - Chen Jiayu didn't have the heart to speak too clearly because he didn't want the relationship to end with him accusing the other party of all kinds of shortcomings. To this day, Chen Jiayu speculates that Yan Yu feels that they broke up because she did not support and comfort him enough after the Hong Kong incident. This may or may not be true. That is indeed the contributing factor, but that is not the crux of it. Therefore, after they broke up, Yan Yu came to see him several times because she knew that he had been single. Maybe she thought that Chen Jiayu still missed his old relationship and there was a possibility that they would get back together.
When Lu Yan heard what he said, she suddenly asked: "Yes, why have you been single in the past few years? In fact, you have already come out of the matter with Yan Yu."
"Well, I figured it out with her a long time ago, and then... I haven't met the right one. There are a lot of things at home." Chen Jiayu didn't have a direct answer, because he had never thought about this question himself.
When he received a call from the maintenance staff informing him that the plane was ready, Chen Jiayu was still a little overwhelmed - he had indeed listened to what Lu Yan said. She said that Fang Hao would not talk to people in her circle about dating, and he also listened to this. However, he thought, everything still needs to be tried to know. If the Hong Kong incident taught him anything, it wasn't any experience, skills or ability in flying, but rather a disbelief in evil and destiny. He is a person who faces the wind of fate. He just needs an opportunity.
