Star Floating City is a modern metropolis glowing with metallic colors, the division of four seasons is actually not particularly obvious.
However, in the golden autumn season, walking in the city park, you can still smell the faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
A total of 27 people from the third and sixth groups participated in this large-scale group building trip of the Ark Science and Technology Department. Except for two colleagues who couldn't go because of family problems, the rest of them all took part in the hall of Xingfu East Station on this day at the end of September. Assemble, and then set off to Nanjia city in a mighty way.
Everyone chatted and laughed and boarded the light-speed levitation train, just like elementary school students going on an autumn outing and bluffing.
Mr. Liang was also very generous this time, and directly booked a carriage for them, so everyone had no scruples about eating snacks, playing cards, and chasing dramas after getting on the train.
Conrad, the leader of the third group, was very dizzy: "Is everyone rejuvenated? Sit down, sit down! What does it look like?"
"Team leader! We are missing three bridge cards and one is missing, so why don't you come too?" A member of the third team waved at him, and pointed to Xu Xinghe next to him, "Little team leader Xu is also there!"
Conrad: "…"
Although Xu Xinghe was also one of the people in charge of the tour group, he was still the youngest among them after all. At this moment, his playfulness also came up, and he patted the place beside him: "Come on, come on!"
Conrad was in a stalemate for a moment, finally sighed helplessly, and sat down amidst the booing of the crowd: "Who am I on the team with?"
After an hour and a half of flying in the air, a movie had just reached the final moment of the decisive battle, and the suspension train traveling at the speed of light had already arrived at Nanga City on the other side of the planet.
The train stopped slowly, and someone exclaimed: "Look! It's snowing outside!"
While taking the suitcase, the team leader Conrad instructed, "Everyone put on your down jackets before getting out of the car. It's minus five degrees outside."
In September, the city of Nanjia far in the far north has already entered winter.
The hatch opened, and the cold wind blew in.
A grand snow-covered snow scene is in sight. The square under the feet is covered with white snow, and the silver mountains in the distance are looming.
Snowflakes fell one after another, Xu Xinghe reached out to catch one piece, watching it melt in the palm of his hand.
Looking up again, I saw all kinds of ice sculptures and colorful lights standing around the square, lifelike and beautiful.
Such a pleasing beauty is always a joy to the heart.
What's more, it is very difficult to see such a scene of heavy snow falling in Xingfu City. Xu Xinghe raised his hand and couldn't help taking a few pictures of the snow scene.
Then, while steaming his hands, he sent the photos to their capital F4 group.
Xu Xinghe: "(Photo.jpg)"
Qi Lier: "Hey, Brother Xu has arrived in Nanga? How about it, isn't the snow scene there beautiful?"
Xu Xinghe: "It's beautiful, but it's a bit cold"
Qi Lier: "Wear more, don't catch a cold"
Xu Xinghe: "...why do you speak like someone else?"
Lin Qi: "Huh? Who is that person?"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Vincent: "You can't even guess who someone is? I'll give you a chance to quit the group by yourself @林起"
Lin Qi: "? Of course I guessed it! Didn't you see that I asked that question on purpose?"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Qi Lier: "I can't see that Marshal Ling still has such a considerate and meticulous side, and he knows how to ask you to wear more clothes."
Vincent: "Sure enough, the older ones know how to hurt others"
Xu Xinghe: "???"
Lin Qi: "So why did you send us this photo? Send it to your husband."
Vincent: "Why didn't you send it? Maybe you even sent the face photo."
Lin Qi: "Brother Xu, I also want to see your full face photo!"
Qi Lier: "Are you her husband? If not, just think about it."
Xu Xinghe: "? Do you want to experience the feeling of being blocked by me collectively?"
Xu Xinghe: "I'll leave the group and see you later"
After he finished speaking, he directly turned off the chat software, mumbling a few words in his mouth.
"Team leader!" At this moment, Ajia's voice rang in his ears, "Do you have anything you want to drink? There is a milk tea shop over there. I'll go buy a cup of hot milk tea and bring you a cup too!"
Hearing this, Xu Xinghe put down his smartphone, raised his head and smiled softly: "Let me treat you, you go and ask them what they want to drink."
"Thank you, team leader!" Ajia didn't refuse either. She was dressed in fluffy clothes, like a little pink rabbit, happily running away in the snow.
Different from the bustling scene of high-rise buildings in the Star Floating City and overlapping orbits above the sky, Nanjia City is a tourist city that has only emerged in recent years, and its natural ecological environment is relatively intact.
The rime along the river and the Golden Summit Snow Mountain are all famous local natural wonders.
Holding hot milk tea, talking and laughing, everyone got on the special car that the hotel came to pick up and drop off, and went to the reserved five-star hotel.
At noon in winter, the sun shines on the earth and on the white snow, reflecting a dazzling white light.
Everyone looked out the window. There were not many pedestrians on the road. A child ran across the long street with colorful balloons, disturbing the white pigeons strolling leisurely by the roadside.
Along the two sides of the street, there are a variety of shops and crystal clear ice sculptures. Various colors decorate the originally vast world, adding a bit of romance to the original monotonous snow-white world.
The hotel we stayed in is relatively close to the commercial street in the city center and is one of the top five-star hotels in the area.
As one of the tour leaders, Xu Xinghe and the team leader Conrad worked through the check-in procedures for everyone.
In the reception hall, Conrad asked: "Is there anyone else who wants to share a room with whom? Those who have greeted me in advance have been arranged, and those who have not been greeted will be randomly assigned by the front desk?"
As soon as everyone heard this, they began to discuss in a hurry.
"I don't care, anyway, I can drop by everywhere at night."
"Xinxin let's share a room together!"
"Anyone play "Dark Alliance"? Let's do double row in one night!"
Xu Xinghe turned sideways and asked Conrad in a low voice, "Is mine a private room?"
When Conrad heard the words, his face was a bit weird: "Of course."
Xu Xinghe nodded and turned his gaze back: "Thank you."
Conrad looked at him, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Actually, you don't need to say hello, and I will definitely give you a private room."
Xu Xinghe blinked: "Really? But I used to live in a double room with my friends when I went out."
After all, the cost of travel and accommodation is a big one, and a double room is much cheaper.
Conrad was silent for a moment, then said, "You were never married."
Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback: "Even if you're married, it's okay to live with someone of the same gender, right?"
Conrad: "Yes, but not necessary."
After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at Xu Xinghe, as if to say, how can the wife of the marshal of the alliance share a room with other men
Xu Xinghe: "..."
It was nearly one o'clock in the afternoon when everyone checked in and went back to the house to put down their suitcases.
Everyone was hungry, so they settled for lunch in the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel.
After lunch, everyone unanimously decided to go back to the house to take a nap, recuperate, and then go to the riverside to see the scenery together in the afternoon.
Xu Xinghe slept late last night, and today he has been tossing around all morning, so he is also tired now.
He went back to the room and changed his clothes, then lay down on the bed, deciding to take a nap for a while.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, the smartphone on his wrist rang.
It is the exclusive notification sound for receiving new emails.
Xu Xinghe moved his ears, opened his eyes, and clicked on the mailbox.
Ling Changfeng: [Are you in Nanjia? ]
Xu Xinghe: [Well, I just finished lunch and I'm lying down in the hotel, planning to rest for a while and go out to play in the afternoon]
After sending this sentence, Xu Xinghe's fingertips paused on the screen.
He remembered that before he left, he promised Ling Changfeng that he would take some pictures of Nanjia's snow scene for him, but after Lin Qi and the others booed him in the morning, he suddenly couldn't do it.
However, this entanglement only lasted for less than two seconds, and finally Xu Xinghe persuaded himself: "Whatever they say, you must do what you promise to others."
So I clicked on "Add Picture" in the email, and sent Ling Changfeng three pictures of the snow scene I just took: [The scenery here is beautiful, let me show you]
There was no response from the other end of the email for a while.
Xu Xinghe lay down again, thinking that Ling Changfeng might be busy at this point, so he should hurry up and catch up on sleep.
Unexpectedly, before closing his eyes this time, Marshal Ling suddenly wrote back: [Is it convenient to answer the phone now? ]
Xu Xinghe: [? ]
Ling Changfeng: [Video]
Xu Xinghe: […]
Didn't you say night video? ? Floating Star City and Nanjia City are separated by a time zone, and it should be daytime now, so why is there a video
After about ten seconds, the call ringtone suddenly sounded in the quiet room, indicating that the owner of the ringtone must do what he says.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
In my impression, Ling Changfeng seldom made video calls with him, and basically contacted him online by email.
Therefore, facing this sudden request for a call, I felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.
After being stunned for a few seconds, I hurried out of bed and walked to a well-lit place by the window, and clicked to answer.
The next moment, Marshal Ling's holographic projection appeared on the small screen.
Yitong scanned the layout of the room behind Xu Xinghe, and asked, "Are you alone?"
"Yes, big bed room." Xu Xinghe turned the camera to show him the layout of the room.
Ling Changfeng nodded in satisfaction, the little emotions that had lingered in his heart all morning finally dissipated.
Xu Xinghe also glanced at the room behind Ling Changfeng: "Are you in the office?"
"lounge."
"Aren't you busy at work today?"
"Very busy."
"Then why did you call in broad daylight?"
Ling Changfeng was at a loss for words when he was asked, he brushed the corner of his clothes calmly, then raised his head and replied, "Let's see how you are doing now."
"Eh? Didn't you just send me out five hours ago..." Xu Xinghe looked puzzled, "I won't change in five hours."
Ling Changfeng corrected him lightly: "Five and a half hours."
Xu Xinghe: "..."
Ling Changfeng raised his eyes to look at the time, and then quickly ended the topic: "I'm going to a meeting, you should also go to rest for a while, see you in the evening."
"Ah?" Xu Xinghe was taken aback, and just about to say something, the video screen went black after a "beep beep".
Xu Xinghe: "..."
The video call started off unexpectedly and ended unexpectedly.
So why did Ling Changfeng call here?
Moreover, he just wanted to say that there is no need to make two phone calls a day so frequently.
But after thinking about it, I haven't seen the cat today, so I'd better talk again tonight.
