race.
For Lin Feng, sitting in a taxi at this moment is a race against time.
At this time, he didn't even know what time An Xin's flight to Manchester, England took off, and whether the childhood sweetheart girl had already passed the security check and passed through the boarding gate to board the plane.
even…
Perhaps the plane had already lifted off the ground with a roar and flew straight into the sky toward a foreign country tens of thousands of kilometers away.
he does not know.
Don't even want to think about it.
Right now, there is only one persistent thought left in his mind.
to go to the airport.
To see the buns.
Even if he hadn't even thought about how he should feel and what he should say when he saw the girl with his own eyes.
But he didn't care about that at all.
He just wanted to see each other, at least...
It shouldn't be such a goodbye.
The scenery outside the car window was receding rapidly and continuously, just like the thoughts and memories that Lin Feng started to recall in his mind.
He can clearly remember every sentence and every word written in An Xin's letter just now. In that letter, for the first time, the girl directly and positively mentioned about Amer, Aqiu, and the teammates of Eleven. their business.
For Lin Feng, the feelings of guilt and self-blame that he embraced in the past few partners.
Everyone on the team back then...
All are his close and trusted partners.
It is a comrade-in-arms who hopes to continue to fight side by side even in the future.
For those friendships, he absolutely did not want to lose them.
But in contrast, An Xin, a childhood sweetheart, is another situation.
As the coach and analyst of the team back then, compared with A Qiu, Amo, Eleven and Fatty, strictly speaking, the girl is not really fighting alongside Lin Feng and the others on the field. The tasks are all off the field, behind the scenes.
Therefore, some feelings are not so intuitive.
It's more like a silent subtlety.
The girl from that year... always smiling quietly, standing in the resting backstage of the arena, watching the five members of Lin Feng's team achieve brilliant and miraculous victories one game at a time, witnessing that China's strongest team in the s1 season The team grows, rises, and reaches its peak little by little.
All the time, he was standing quietly behind everyone.
stand behind someone.
And this kind of waiting will slowly become a habit in a long time.
Usually, there may not be much awareness, but it was not until the moment of loss that Lin Feng really deeply felt the feeling of being empty.
Some people you think will be by your side for the rest of your life.
It's natural to think and get used to it.
You haven't even seriously thought about whether the other party will leave one day.
So when the day does come
You have never thought about all this, and you will only be left blank and at a loss.
(steamed stuffed bun… )
(Got to go?)
(To England, to Manchester?)
As if it was only at this moment that he suddenly regained his senses, Lin Feng swallowed his saliva subconsciously, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his lips and throat were extremely dry, and his voice was almost hoarse and shouted to the driver in the front seat:
"master"
"Please, hurry up!"
…
"Passengers in front please go inside first."
"Give way down the aisle."
"Hello sir, let me put your luggage on it for you"
In the cabin of the flight to Manchester, England, the polite and pleasant voice of the stewardess kept ringing.
At this time, An Xin was already sitting alone in the seat by the window, quietly looking out the window.
But the girl's mind was still like a mess.
Can't figure it out.
She suddenly remembered that day's birthday.
On that night, after getting off the roof, everyone dispersed not long after, and on the way home by taxi, she received an international call across the ocean while sitting in the taxi.
The caller was the fiancée of someone's most respected "Senior No. 1".
It is also another legend in the professional e-sports circle who became a golden combination with "No. 1" and whose id name was included in the World E-sports Hall of Fame.
"Senior No. 5" in a certain population.
It is also a little sister who is very close and dependent to a girl.
The woman on the other end of the phone first sent her belated birthday wishes with a smile.
Afterwards, the chat topic between the two sisters shifted little by little, and they talked about a lot of things, and finally extended to a certain core and key topic.
"So, next week, are you going to England?"
The woman on the other end of the phone had a soft and sweet voice.
In fact, she is the one who really knows An Xin's secret best.
The girl replied softly:
"Um."
The woman's voice was a little worried: "Your illness... Can you be cured when you get there?"
The girl pursed her lips and shook her head gently: "I don't know either, but the medical technology over there is the top in this field, and the family insisted that I must go there, so... just try it."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long while, the woman sighed:
"Talk to me when you get to Manchester."
"I'll go see you."
The girl on the other end of the phone finally showed a smile on her face, and nodded in response: "Well, I haven't seen you, Miss Wu, for a long time. I miss you very much."
The woman also smiled slightly on the other end of the phone: "Yeah, it seems that the last time we met was several years ago, and now you should be a beauty."
After saying a few words, the woman seemed to think of something and asked:
"Xiao Feng, have you told him?"
The girl bit her lip and said nothing.
The woman on the other end of the phone understood and sighed:
"You girl... you have too many things hidden in your heart, but it's not a good thing."
"It's not just this one that you didn't tell Xiaofeng, right?"
…
The mind returns to reality.
Looking out of the cabin window, looking at the still glorious golden sunset cloud sea, An Xin's mood was slightly affected.
indeed.
Just like what Sister Xiao Wu said at the time, there were more than one or two things she was hiding from someone.
Some things, even Xiao Wu, who she regarded as her own sister, only vaguely sensed and guessed the clues, but all the secrets were only really clear to her.
For example, accounts that have entered the top ten of the king list in Hanbok.
For example, the fight between her and f-Han Shihao in the Nightingale Dark Battle a few years ago.
For example, her administrator status of axe in the dark war management group.
for example…
In fact, what she is best at is not the work of coaches and analysts, or even the jungler, but the mid laner.
But she quietly hid it all by herself.
Concealed, let the fat man of the team, A Qiu, A Mo and Eleven never know about it, and let someone with a thick personality never notice it.
She chose to stand quietly behind the scenes of the team.
stand behind someone.
As a witness peacefully and peacefully, I always wait and stare at the figure of someone working hard in front of me.
That was enough to make her feel extremely satisfied.
actually…
All of this has nothing to do with pay, price, or fairness.
Purely out of her own selfishness.
Just like half a year ago, she should have flown to Manchester, England early to receive the most advanced scientific treatment, but also because of selfishness, she begged to stay in Shanghai for more than half a year.
Just out of selfishness.
Just because she wanted to wait quietly for a while longer behind that idiot.
That's enough.
However, only
The corner of the girl's mouth twitched into a bitter arc.
If you are too selfish, there is a price to pay.
For one's own selfishness... it's always inevitable to hurt other people.
She knows very well how hurt and sad that her "farewell" will make someone feel, which is why she has been afraid to answer the phone or reply to WeChat since this morning.
Because she didn't even know how to deal with it.
The girl lowered her head, and in her hands, the cell phone that had already been blasted for countless calls and sent countless WeChat messages was still only held.
…
Six thirty-six in the evening.
The taxi rushing all the way on the elevated road finally took Lin Feng and Tang Bingyao to Pudong International Airport.
Lin Feng, who had paid the fare, almost stumbled down from the taxi and rushed all the way into the airport lobby. He raised his head and quickly glanced and searched on the flight information display above the lobby.
Manchester, Manchester, Manchester…
Soon, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly stopped on a certain line of flight information.
Then his pupils narrowed slightly.
The only flight to Manchester, England, was past boarding time.
Take off…
Three minutes left.
Tang Bingyao, who followed in a hurry, came to Lin Feng's side, and saw the flight information on the display screen. She twitched her nose with red eyes and tried to comfort the former:
"Fengzi, don't be sad"
"But, it's true that it's too late..."
Lin Feng gritted his teeth.
He was so hard that he almost bit his lips, and the faint smell of blood filled his mouth. Before the girl beside him panicked and tried to pull out the tissue from the bag, Lin Feng had already stepped forward again, desperately heading towards the hall. The direction of the port rushed in.
But without a boarding pass, naturally you can't get in.
Six thirty-eight.
Lin Feng, who was stopped at the exit, tried his best to open his eyes and looked towards the waiting room inside. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see that the plane about to fly to the UK was slowing down under the magnificent night view. Slow start and start taxiing on the tarmac.
Then he suddenly turned to look at Tang Bingyao, who was stumbling after him, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Sugar candy."
"Give me the phone!"
Six thirty-nine.
In the cabin of the flight, the purser's nice voice sounded through the broadcast:
"The plane is about to take off."
"Passengers please turn off the power of mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices"
"Our flight is about to take off."
On the seat by the window, An Xin firmly grasped the cell phone that had not been turned off, her palms almost sweating.
She should shut down.
But I don't know what kind of state of mind...
She just wanted to wait.
It seems to be an extremely contradictory mood, with entanglement, hesitation, struggle, and expectation and hope.
next moment
The phone screen suddenly lit up, and a pleasant phone rang.
Her gaze suddenly fell on the screen, and the girl saw that the incoming call displayed the note name of "Tangtang".
The girl's heart trembled slightly.
Candy...
In fact, she already had a clearer guess and judgment in her heart, and she didn't even need to guess to know who the person on the other end of the phone was at the moment.
But the girl pursed her lips hard, her right hand trembled slightly, and still gently pressed the answer button
The handset of the mobile phone was put to the ear.
At this moment, the girl was subconsciously tense and held her breath.
The other end of the phone was equally quiet.
It seems like a long time has passed.
In the airport hall, looking at the back of the departing plane outside the French window in the distance, Lin Feng's eyes turned red a little bit, and he almost said a word in a hoarse voice:
"You lied to me."
"You said you wouldn't lie to me."
There was another long silence on the phone.
It seems that an inexplicable amount of time has passed, and finally a girl's very familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, with an effort to calm down... but a slightly trembling tone:
"sorry."
A loud and harsh roar sounded.
The flight to Manchester finally took off.
Outside the cabin window, there is a brilliant night scene with bright lights, and the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance still coats the clouds with a touch of gold.
In the cabin, the girl in the seat in front of the window held the mobile phone that had hung up the call, and tears were already streaming down her beautiful cheeks.
