28 The Return (1/2)
Chapter 28: The Return
Translator: _Min_Editor: Lis_, Rundi
Over the last five days, the two spent every moment in joy.
Liu Yao took Jiang Chen to all the famous attractions. They did everything from surfing at Wuzhizhou Island, enjoying the sunlight at Yalong Bay, wandering along the beach, to leaving names on a couple lock. Liu Yao engraved Jiang Chen’s name, but Jiang Chen left Chen Lele’s name.
The happiest time was always the briefest, but it was pleasant.
Until they went their separate ways, Jiang Chen didn’t see any more sorrows or tears.
”Sir, would you like a cup of coffee?” The flight attendant's gentle voice disrupted Jiang Chen’s thought.
”I’ll have one please.”
”Ok, please wait a moment.”
A cup of steamy coffee was soon in front of Jiang Chen. He stared at the rising steam and smiled.
[That was a pleasant trip after all. I wonder if I will ever meet her again.]
He thought about it some more, and an even bigger smile appeared on his face. He didn’t know why he wanted to smile.
He glanced at the pristine cloud outside the window and the middle-aged professional sleeping beside him. Jiang Chen finished the still steamy cup of coffee.
It was bitter, but a little sweet.
The brief Sanya vacation came to an end. Jiang Chen walked out of the Wanghai airport with his luggage.
The noisy metropolitan.
He took in a deep breath of the smog-filled air and flagged down a taxi.
”To Bailian.”
Sitting on the passenger side, Jiang Chen took out his almost outdated Samsung phone. He was about to call Xia Shiyu when he noticed a message popped up.
Weibo?
He opened the Weibo app that he hasn't opened for a while. He was surprised to find out someone @ him.
<A pleasant trip, thank you for your company @Jiang Chen>
Along the text was also a picture of an airplane taking off. Jiang Chen noticed that it was his flight.
[This girl, she went to my terminal without telling me.] Jiang Chen smiled. They said goodbye at the airport, but he didn’t expect her to be there to watch him depart.
With a bit of narcissism, Jiang Chen swiped the screen up with his finger. The comments on the bottom consisted primarily of people wondering who Jiang Chen was. To begin with, she was not a famous actress, so there were only a few comments.
He thought about for a moment before half-joking replied.
<Haha, I really enjoy your superb acting skill. How about I invest in a movie and ask you to be the female lead? : )>
<Deal. You said it!>
[Instant reply.]
”Hey man, are you on Weibo?”
”Oh? Do you have Weibo as well?” Jiang Chen asked the taxi driver.
”Of course, it is pretty fun watching people make memes online. You are looking at a celebrity’s Weibo right?”
”Hehe, yes, how do you know?” Jiang Chen curiously asked.
”There is a special symbol beside their name. Look closely.” The taxi driver skillfully guided Jiang Chen, ”Though to be honest, these celebrities’ Weibo are boring. They are too busy to reply to you. You must be new on here.”
Jiang Chen smiled in agreement.
He wanted to reply <There is no way you believe my joke right?>, but that post was gone.
”What happens if a post is gone?”
”They deleted it, it's common.” The taxi driver rolled his eyes as if he was an expert.
Deleted?
[This girl.] Jiang Chen sighed. The situation was funny to him.
It’s only a movie after all, how much would it even cost?
Inside the Jade Restaurant, Jiang Chen quietly waited at the table. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw a graceful figure approach him. He signaled for the person to come over.
”You finally appeared. You don’t even pick up your phone.” Xia Shiyu gave him a hard stare. The grin on his face made Xia Shiyu irate.
She has been taking care of the company in the past few days. She even used her own money to make sure everything could be finished on time. To ensure she completed Jiang Chen’s task, she had to find lawyers, bureaus, and banks. She even went to their future office.
However, he was nowhere to be seen. Jiang Chen left all the dirty work to her and went on a vacation by himself.
