Chapter 691: Love You, Hate You (1/2)
The airport had a dozen or so gates, and every gate was jam-packed with people because it was a weekend. It made finding someone even harder than it already was.
I checked the time and saw that it was 2 pm. It was almost time for Lin Yixin to check in and board her plane.
……
I ran back and forth across the airport like a madman, but I wasn’t able to find Lin Yixin no matter where I looked. Panic growing, I grabbed a nearby stewardess and asked, ”Can… can I ask where the airport’s broadcast room is?”
The stewardess was completely caught off-guard by my sudden action. ”Wh… why do you want to know?”
”I’m searching for someone!”
”It’s in the south area. You’ll find the room if you go up the elevator…”
”Thank you!”
This time though, it was the stewardess who grabbed me before I could run away. ”Hey…”
”What’s wrong?” I turned around to look at her.
”Are you Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand?”
Me: ”...”
The stewardess grew excited when she saw my reaction. ”Hoho, you really are the Little Heavenly King! My boyfriend and I play Heavenblessed as well, but since I have to fly almost every day I’m only at Level 117 right now. In the game you are our idol, not Candlelight Shadow! So, can you take a photo with me?”
I felt like dying for some reason. ”But, but I have an urgent matter to…”
”It’s fine, it’ll only take a couple of seconds!”
The tall, slim stewardess refused to let me go until I obliged her request, so I had no choice but to let her snap a photo of us with her phone. Only then she said with a smile, ”Alright, you may go now! Let’s meet each other again some time!”
”Me: ”...”
I turned around and raced toward the broadcast room at the speed of 100m sprinter. The employees were shocked when I showed up. ”Sir, what are you doing?”
I replied, ”I’m looking for someone!”
”In that case, please register your name and the name of the person you’re looking for…”
”Ah?”
It was at this moment I heard the announcement that the flight to Vancouver was about to take off, and that the check-in had started.
Anxiety peaking, I grabbed the mic from an employee’s hand and shouted, ”Lin Yixin! Lin Yixin! Do you hear me? It’s me, Lu Chen! Maybe you can’t hear me, or maybe you just don’t want to see me, I don’t care! I just want to tell you that… I’m sorry, I’m here now. I’m here to send you off…”
The female employee whom I snatched the mic from was completely stunned by my antics. She just goggled at me as if she was watching something unbelievable.
The woman next to her suddenly burst into giggles, and one of them said teasingly with rosy cheeks, ”Wow! If a handsome guy barged into the airport broadcast room for me, I might just marry him right there and then…”
It was my turn to be stunned by her. Eternal Moon Corporation’s influence was truly astounding. Who would’ve thought that I, a nere gamer would become as famous as those top-rated movie stars one day?
……
Covering up my face, I ran out of the broadcast room and toward the Vancouver boarding gate. Only half of the people had gone inside, and I spotted a lot of young women still waiting at the queue. However, half of them were foreigners, and the other half looked nothing like the outrageously beautiful woman Lin Yixin was.
Speechless and disappointed, I waited by the boarding gate until the flight took off. Even then, I was afraid to leave because I felt like I was never going to see her again if I did.
I took a seat at a gate while feeling like a complete mess. It was only now I realized just how important Lin Yixin was in my heart. Losing her felt like losing the energy to breathe.
I sat until it was past 6 pm before I finally got to my feet and ate fried rice with beef at a fast food restaurant. It was disgusting, and it cost 75 RMB.
After that, I stood by the window and stared at the airplanes expanding their metal wings and taking off to the sky. I felt like my thoughts were chasing after their tail.
There were a lot of people pointing fingers at me from behind me, but it didn’t matter anymore. They could do whatever the hell they wanted.
When it was past 9 pm, the second flight to Vancouver had taken off as well.
I desolately turned around and went back to my car. The windshield was completely covered by violation tickets at this point. It was time to go back to Suzhou.
……
I reached the workshop just before 12 am. Beiming Xue was still in the game, and He Yi had left behind two plates of food for me. I warmed them up, ate them and logged into the game. I had been absent for the entire day, so I wanted to check if I had missed anything.
