After a few days of warmth with Qin Wenjing at home, Li Haojun received another long-term business travel mission. He vaguely felt that the company's itinerary seemed to take care of his inner feelings. Before each long-term trip, he had a long time to accompany his family. Maybe it was humane management, but it was good this way.
It turned out that before this business trip, Keshia had been there once and learned some information and customer intentions. This time, she had to collect relevant products from various manufacturers and bring them over for cross-experiments, and the company would send a special field staff to pick them up by special plane. First, Li Haojun had to be picked up at the George and Ellensburg production plants to pick up the planned production materials, and then go to Boise to pick up Keshia and related materials, and then go to the customer.
It was a tense day. In the cold morning fog, the helicopter landed across the road. After checking the information, Li Haojun ran out of the house. The other party was driving a traditional single-rotor helicopter with a slender fuselage and a wide cockpit view. It looked like a high-speed sightseeing helicopter. The two pilots were waving behind the front windshield.
Leaning over and running into the downwash, he sat in the back seat, and the plane took off immediately.
"Welcome aboard," Reginald Baker turned around and said to Li Haojun,
A capable and handsome young man with blond hair, a wide forehead, a pointed chin, and small eyes.
"Thank you, thank you both."
"At your service," the pilot was a lady with a black bob haircut, who did not turn around,
"Matsumoto Mieko," Reginald introduced her,
"Ethan Lee, nice to meet you both." ...
After a compact and efficient morning, by ten o'clock in the morning, the helicopter was already flying at a cruising altitude, on the way to Boise. The autumn weather was clear and cloudless, and the sky was blue and clear. Li Haojun leaned his head against the headrest of the seat to enjoy the scenery of the mountains and rivers, relieving the fatigue of the early morning rush.
At noon, he had arrived in Eagle near Boise, ready to pick up Keshia. During the helicopter's descent, Li Haojun was conflicted. He didn't know what identity he should use to face her again. Obviously, their relationship was no longer a simple colleague, but he had a partner, and his company for her was far less than his partner's. He often felt ashamed of Keshia's love for him, and explained to himself that she might just be young and fresh.
In the open space in front of the Eagle factory, as the helicopter descended, he saw the familiar figure. She was wearing a long-haired beige short-sleeved top with imitation fox fur. She was also seen wrapping her hair with a headscarf, wearing light blue jeans and sneakers, pulling a suitcase with her left hand, and holding a box with her right hand.
I kept thinking about how to say the first sentence to her until the plane landed, but I didn't think about it. Li Haojun went down and simply greeted her and pulled her suitcase to put it in the plane's luggage compartment. When I returned to the cabin, Keshia was already sitting in the inner seat.
Li Haojun sat next to her and glanced at her eyes, secretly peeking at her expression. At this time, Reginald in the front row turned around to introduce himself, and Li Haojun also introduced each other, then he lowered his head to fasten his seat belt, and then smiled and pointed, reminding Kezia to fasten her seat belt as well.
The box in her hand turned out to be fast food, one for each person. After eating, Kezia described her last visit to the client with a smile on her lips. Li Haojun listened carefully and looked into her eyes silently. Li Haojun didn't know whether it was her work etiquette or the joy of reunion. There were pilots in front, young men and women, and Li Haojun couldn't talk to Kezia about more personal things. He had to simply ask about the work situation and try to understand her inner feelings from her expression, tone and other details. Did she miss me a lot? Did I make her suffer emotionally? However, her tone was always flat and her expression was calm, which made Li Haojun confused and a little upset.
In the afternoon, on the route from Boise to Nevada, the afternoon sun shone into the cabin from the right side, and the strong sunlight in the sky was a little dazzling. After discussing a few work details, Li Haojun couldn't find other topics. Keshia was also very cooperative. She didn't know how to chat about anything except work. Li Haojun could only enjoy the view overlooking the earth. He looked at Keshia from time to time, and then met her eyes. He had to smile without saying anything.
It was getting dark when we arrived at the destination. This was a canyon in the heart of the desert. It looked like a military base, but it was unknown whether it was a national army or a mercenary army. The plane landed on the tarmac, and the golden sunset sprinkled half of the valley from the top of the western mountain. After the plane was put down, the two left. They handed over the supplies to the customer and were arranged to a small town hotel more than ten miles away. It was not until here that there was a simple road connecting to the outside world. A two-story motel with a two-story wooden building, a restaurant on the first floor, a pub across the street, next to a 711 convenience store, a gas station, and a barber shop. There are almost no permanent residents here, and they all serve people who come out of the base on weekends.

After checking into the hotel, Li Haojun asked as he walked up the stairs, "I've been to this area before, but I wasn't sure if they were customers last time, because they kept it secret with code names. Do you think they encountered any problems last time you came?" Because it might involve commercial secrets, he didn't ask for more details on the plane. "They just said they encountered some quality control problems, so this time they bought similar products from different places of origin." "Oh, wait and see when you meet us to see the details." Li Haojun gave another room key to Keshia, but she didn't move forward. "Can I go over later?" Keshia asked calmly, "Okay," Li Haojun slowly opened the door. In fact, he was looking forward to it, but he didn't dare to be so greedy, for fear that he would let down the person in front of him and the person waiting for him to go home. The simple room seemed to have returned to a small town at the end of the last century. There was a bedside table and a single wooden bed on one side. There was a simple kitchen to the right of the door, with a toaster and a coffee machine, and then there was a bathroom and shower. The three-blade electric fan on the roof no longer rotated in this season. Pushing open the window, this was the direction of the back street, and the street was just as quiet anyway.
"Sit down and rest for a while," Li Haojun pointed at the bed,
Kesia walked over a few steps and plopped down on the bed, then leaned against the wall, resting her head on the pillow and looking at Li Haojun without saying a word.
Li Haojun also wanted to lie on the bed. His waist and legs were sore after the day, but it was not easy to say that we should all lie down. But now it was not easy to lie on the other side of the bed and talk to her across the air, so he had to go over and sit next to her, watching her quietly. It seemed like a long time ago since we parted, and I really missed her when we met again.
"Aren't you tired? I don't mind lying here,"
"Okay," he replied, and also put down his tired body to feel the soft bed.
"Do you miss me?" Keshia looked at him and asked softly,
Li Haojun turned his head and smiled at her, said nothing, and gently picked up her hand. Her moonlit figure, caring support, and the parting under the sun at the airport, all flashed before his eyes again,
Keshia no longer leaned against the wall, put one hand on his chest, one leg on him, leaned sideways beside Li Haojun, gently put her face on Li Haojun's shoulder and neck, and said softly,
"I miss you,"
"Me too, but I can't spend more time with you, I'm sorry,"
"It's okay, it's good like this, hehe, am I very satisfied?"
"Yeah," Li Haojun also He leaned to the side and put his other hand around her waist.
"Do you like me or my sister?"
When Li Haojun lamented that the sisters had the same problem, when Keshia was with him, he felt that he liked her as much as Malaya. It was strange that he felt that he liked her more, so he answered,
"I like both of them,"
"Or me? More?"
"I like both of them. I originally thought that she might be more eccentric, and I don't know why. Now I like both of them,"
"Maybe it's time. We will have more time together,"
"But this is a bit unfair, When you were not around, I had her. How did you spend your time without me? "
"Studying, learning about the equipment in the factory and related knowledge,"
"Okay," Li Haojun patted her on the back, relieved, and smiled,
"I have always been worried that such a relationship would hurt your feelings. Now it seems that it will not be, right? At least not for the time being,"
"I know what I am doing, you don't have to worry about anything,"
"Are your emotions always so stable? Are there times when you are vulnerable?"
"Don't you have vulnerable times?"
"Haha," Li Haojun grinned. Li Haojun smiled, not knowing whether she was smiling bitterly or laughing.
"Yeah, we both seem to have no emotional armor. Now you and your sister are in front of me at the same time. I will think of another person. Do you mind?"
"No, this is the result of our quarrel."
"Why? Is it...? Is there a reason for jealousy?"
"No, I won't be jealous if she gets close to you. She thinks it will go more smoothly."
"Oh, okay, it's just that leaving someone alone is a bit cruel,"
Kesia smiled slightly,
"Have you forgotten her? Isn't the one in your family also alone?"
"Haha, okay," Li Haojun laughed at herself. She felt that when talking about feelings rather than engineering technology, she and her sister should be at the same level. Maybe this is the sensitivity of women. After a long silence, Li Haojun couldn't help asking again, "Am I really worthy of you?" Kesia moved up a little, hooked her left hand on Li Haojun's shoulder, put her mouth close to her ear and whispered, "Do you believe in fate? Once upon a time, there was a little child. After taking a nap, he had a piece of land to play on. The golden and colorful ground was the fallen poplar leaves, and below was the yellow land. His little feet could run firmly on it. The yellow land was growing a thriving poplar forest. The little child, a lonely figure Flashing between the branches that seemed to be mottled with the passing years. Looking up at the towering branches, there is a blue sky and white clouds between the branches swaying in the wind. When the breeze blows, the sound of giggling and rustling in the woods comes and goes. At that time, time always moves very slowly, as if it will never end. "
It is not clear what she is saying. Li Haojun gently touches her shoulder, and does not know how to enter her world to comfort her.
A new moon shines on the earth, illuminating the mountains in the distance and the white sand of the shrubs in front of her. The bright moonlight also passes through the old wooden window frame and shines on the wooden bedside table. In the white reflected by the mirror, the mottled phone book and pencil seem to tell the passing of time. The tungsten filament table lamp with a large head lampshade confirms so many memories.
A ray of moonlight also hits Li Haojun's chest obliquely, sliding down to Keshia's waist, witnessing the encounter of two sincere hearts.
