At Koro Island Airport, a woman wearing casual clothes and sunglasses dragged her suitcase and walked alone through the empty airport hall.
Occasionally, tourists passing by her glanced sideways at her. Although she couldn't see her face clearly because of her sunglasses, it was not difficult to tell just from her graceful figure and beautiful face that this woman was at least a troublemaker. Beauty.
Maybe a celebrity traveling alone
The tourists who passed her were hesitant to ask for an autograph. Maybe this would lead to a wonderful encounter...
However, those people are destined to be disappointed.
First, Xia Shiyu is not a star.
Secondly, the beauty has already secretly promised her.
It was June, the sun was blazing, and Xia Shiyu felt the unique tropical heat right after coming out of the airport.
After leaving the airport, she walked straight to the road outside the airport and stood under the palm trees beside the road.
In response to the taxi driver's honking, she shook her head to indicate that she was waiting for someone, and then took out her phone to check the time.
[10:00]
The flight arrived half an hour early, and there was still half an hour before the agreed pick-up time.
His thumb hovered over the phone logo on the phone screen for two seconds, and finally moved to the camera logo.
Click on the camera function and select the front camera.
Looking at the pretty face on the screen, she was silent for a moment.
... ... Are the bangs a little crooked
She reached out and fiddled with the bangs she had permed two days ago, trying to make them look more natural.
On the plane, she put on light makeup. As for why she did this, she didn't know. Maybe you want to capture the stunning moment from a certain pair of pupils, or maybe you want to cover up the light of a certain opponent...
It seems that both starting points are the same.
Just when she was looking in the "mirror", a funny Mandarin voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Beautiful lady, is this your first time coming to Pannu Islands?"
Are you calling me
Xia Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the tall and thin European with a hooked nose and deep eye sockets.
After a moment of silence, she responded briefly with her throat.
"Um."
Based on her experience. Generally, people who strike up a conversation will walk away in embarrassment after hearing a cold response.
But this is obviously because she is overthinking it. Reservedness and reserve are the unique demeanor of Asians. Faced with Xia Shiyu's indifference, the hook-nosed person became even more interested. He came forward shamelessly and spoke in a familiar tone.
"What a coincidence, this is my first time here. I was a little nervous on the plane. If this place was as messed up as the news said, my trip would have been in vain. But as soon as I got off the plane, I realized my mistake. ."
"oh?"
"Because I met you." Hook-nosed said with what he thought was a sensational expression. Stare into her eyes.
However, Xia Shiyu was just stunned.
Is this a confession? We just met for the first time tomorrow...
Seeing that the beauty had no reaction, he smiled slightly with a hooked nose and was not discouraged. He took out the business card from his pocket gracefully.
"Kevin Adams is a professional traveler from the United States and the editor-in-chief of Traveler magazine. This is my business card. You can call me Kevin. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite you to visit this beautiful southern island. . ”
She instinctively felt a little bored by this person who was surrounding her like a fly, especially his unabashed lustful gaze.
But just when she was troubled about how to get rid of him. But a familiar voice came to my ears.
"Hello Mr. Adams, I'd better call you by your last name." He took the business card from his hand unceremoniously and ignored the frozen expression on his face. Jiang Chen took out his business card and handed it to him with a smile. asked him, "Well, I almost forgot, this is my business card."
Seeing Jiang Chen, Xia Shiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, it seemed like he would always appear in front of her when she was in trouble. To save herself... Thinking of this, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but feel a sense of security in her heart.
But this international friend was not so friendly.
After looking Jiang Chen up and down, Kevin's face flashed with anger and he did not take Jiang Chen's business card.
"I didn't say I wanted to exchange business cards with you, sir. Or are the people in your country so rude in front of ladies?" As he spoke, he raised his aquiline nose and used that disgusting expression. He looked at Jiang Chen with a gesture.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and was not angry. He put away the business card and smiled.
"Discourteous? Our etiquette is not to cause trouble to others. I don't know what your etiquette is? To cause trouble for others?"
Unable to argue with Jiang Chen's words, Kevin's face turned red.
Seeing that he stopped saying anything, Jiang Chen smiled playfully and ignored him.
Turning to face Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen said apologetically.
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
"No, it's because I arrived early." Xia Shiyu said a little embarrassed.
Is he... jealous
As she was thinking wildly, Xia Shiyu felt her heartbeat speed up inexplicably.
Jiang Chen didn't notice Xia Shiyu's mental activities and said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it in the car first."
With that said, Jiang Chen took the suitcase from her hand.
"Wait a minute." Seeing Xia Shiyu preparing to leave, Kevin couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He stepped forward to stop the two of them, but ended up bumping into a wall.
A man in a police uniform stood in front of him like an iron tower, looking down at him indifferently.
"What are you doing, blocking the road." Kevin said angrily.
Seeing the goddess he had met get into someone else's car, he felt annoyed, and unconsciously vented his anger on the man in front of him who was blocking his way.
"Sir, I suspect there is something wrong with your passport."
"Passport? Impossible." Kevin took out his passport and stuffed it into his chest, "Open your eyes and see clearly!"
Glancing at the passport, the policeman nodded. "Yes, there is indeed something wrong with your passport. Your ID has been registered on the entry blacklist. Please contact the embassy of your country and submit a certificate of no criminal record before entering the country."
"Blacklist? This is impossible!" Kevin roared angrily. He has traveled to 34 countries, and this is the first time he has been stopped due to a blacklist. With all his conscience, he has never done anything illegal.
But the policeman ignored his rant and shrugged.
"I just followed the procedure."
Seeing that arguing was useless, Kevin calmed down a little.
"...Okay, I will contact the embassy, how to get to the embassy in Coro City."
"I'm very sorry, sir. Your embassy is not open for the time being in the Pannu Islands. If you need help from your embassy, it is recommended that you move to the Australian and American embassy and consulates." The policeman did not lie to him. Tourists from New Zealand have only recently arrived. More embassies and consulates from various countries are still being negotiated. Currently, only seven of them have been established: China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Australia, and New Zealand. Among them, embassy staff from four countries are still on their way.
"-fu.ck?! You mean I took a two-hour flight and now I have to go to Australia to renew my documents?!" Kevin completely exploded.
"Yes, sir, we can assist you with your ticket. So now, please return to the departure hall." The policeman said seriously while suppressing a smile.
If you want to blame it, blame it on you for offending someone you shouldn't have offended. Who wants you to be blind? He has been a policeman for so many years and has experienced two regime changes. This is the first time he has heard of any entry and exit blacklist in the new country.
But since that person said there is, then there must be. (.)
