Chapter 49 Meeting by chance
Under the other party's gaze, Zhao Qianlan's face, which was originally red because of drunkenness, suddenly became red again. She lowered her head and didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to say "thank you".
She wanted to get in and return to the private room at the party, but she couldn't help but stop thinking about the stained air inside and the annoying flies surrounding her.
Her head was still a little dizzy, and her stomach was still filled with sour water. The breeze that blew from the open air platform from time to time blew across her body, giving her a pleasant and refreshing feeling, and she didn't want to leave.
The handsome federal officer seemed to see a hint of embarrassment and said to her with a smile: "This beautiful lady, you are probably drunk. I saw you vomit so badly, you shouldn't have drunk so much. The air here is good, and there is wind. You may be better here. My name is Charles, and I'm very happy to know you."
Thinking that all his embarrassment had been seen by the other party just now, Zhao Qianlan felt embarrassed. Seeing the other party's hand stretched out, she ignored it. She just nodded politely and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'll stand here for a while. I hope it won't disturb you, right?"
When she ran out just now, she didn't notice that there were people on the balcony. Now, if you look around carefully, the entire balcony was quiet, and only the sound of the night breeze blowing gently, there was no one else.
The handsome officer Charles smiled like a sunny smile and said, "Of course not. I am asking for such a beautiful lady to talk to me. By the way, haven't you asked for the lady's name yet?"
Zhao Qianlan did not feel bored when the other party spoke beautifully to him or her, or felt frivolous, but instead felt inexplicably vain and satisfied. Only then did she realize that she also liked to listen to such praises.
"My name is Zhao Qianlan." After hesitating, Zhao Qianlan still told the other party his name, thinking it would be nice to talk to this person who doesn't hate.
The two started chatting casually on this quiet balcony in the open air. Charles said more, Zhao Qianlan said less, and most of the time was listening. The other party was obviously a funny and talkative person. When talking to the other party, Zhao Qianlan felt that time passed quickly.
From the conversation, Zhao Qianlan knew that the other party was a lieutenant colonel of the Federation Star Fleet. The troops were on the distant Sirius. This time, they were carrying out a mission, passing by the moon, and would continue to stay here for a while. Maybe ten days or half a month, he would leave with the troops to another distant star field.
This kind of life seems like duckweed and floating, but once upon a time, the driver's own fighter planes wandered in the vast and profound star field, wasn't Zhao Qianlan's dream of many times.
If a young lieutenant colonel had not interrupted him by his appearance, he would have looked up at the stars in this quiet night. This is a story and some lonely people. From the other party's short conversation, Zhao Qianlan came to such a conclusion.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Qianlan remembered that Jiang Ping hadn't seen her for so long, so she was afraid that she would be anxious. After the wind blowing for a while, the alcohol on her body also disappeared a lot. She felt much better, so she immediately asked to say goodbye.
Charles did not try to keep him, and smiled and took out his business card, handed it to her, and said, "Thank you, Miss Zhao, I have been chatting with me for a while, and I feel great now."
Zhao Qianlan reached out to take the business card handed over by the other party. Without saying anything, she nodded and turned around and left. However, Charles called her again and said, "Beautiful lady, you forgot one thing."
Zhao Qianlan looked at him in confusion, Charles pretended to be very aggrieved and said, "I gave you a business card, but you didn't give it to me. This is unfair!"
Zhao Qianlan's pretty face turned slightly red. She felt that she met this young federal lieutenant colonel by chance. After a short time, she left each other and would not have any intersection in the future. She accepted the other party's business card just out of a polite manner and had no intention of sending back the other party's business card.
But the other party's words had already reached this point, so how could she refuse? She had to take out her business card from her arms and hand it over to the other party.
Charles took her business card, as if she had a toy child, and said happily: "Ms. Zhao, I will continue to contact you."
Zhao Qianlan was surprised that she had no intention of being disgusted, and did not take the other party's words seriously. She didn't say anything else, and turned around and left in a hurry.
When I returned to the private room where the classmate gathering was still noisy inside. Seeing her coming back, Lin Ziyu and others immediately surrounded her like blood from a fly.
"Miss Zhao, you went out just now, but you have been missing for a long time, which made us anxious to wait. No matter what, you must have a few more fines!"
"That's right, it's right to punish!"
"Miss Zhao, I wonder if I can have this honor, I invite you to dance..."
Ms. Zhao, our Hongxingyu Group is missing a department manager. We can’t ask for talents like Ms. Zhao…”
"Miss Zhao, I wonder if you have time tomorrow..."
...
Faced with these flies who were ill-hearted and disgusted, Zhao Qianlan was too lazy to go for social engagements. When she glanced at her, she saw Jiang Ping still chatting with the beautiful woman in the distance. She couldn't help but feel angry and pushed everyone away and walked over.
"Jiang Ping, I want to go back." Zhao Qianlan came to Jiang Ping, interrupted his conversation with Xiao Kexin without hesitation, and said directly. She really had no intention of staying at this party.
In fact, Jiang Ping didn't want to stay any longer. Seeing her saying this, she was reluctant to ask for it, so she immediately pulled her, ignored the other people's attempts and said goodbye.
"Qianlan, I just saw you go out for a long time. Where have you been?" Jiang Ping asked casually after leaving the private room.
When Zhao Qianlan heard this, she remembered the chance encounter with the young lieutenant colonel on the open-air balcony. For some reason, she felt a sense of weakness and said stammeringly: "No, nothing, I just went to the bathroom and vomited."
Jiang Ping said angrily: "Is that so? Are you better now? Those people are really not good, how can you drink so much wine you shouldn't pay attention to them."
Zhao Qianlan said: "Okay, don't say so much, let's go back quickly."
The two of them came to the rooftop, retrieved the aircraft, and took Zhao Qianlan home first, and Jiang Ping returned to his residence alone.
Zhao Qianlan's residence is in District 20. When she got home, she went to the bathroom to take a shower, washed away the alcohol from her body, and lay down on the bed with a tired look on her face. Seeing that it was still early, she took a magazine and held it in her hand and flipped it up casually.
Not long after watching it, the communicator on the wall rang, and Jiang Ping's faint smile appeared on the screen. She was actually waiting for this communication, so she threw away the book and made a cute face at the screen of the communicator.
The two of them said good night for a while. Zhao Qianlan was about to turn off the communicator when the communicator rang again. Then the screen flashed, and a handsome face appeared on the screen, which was the Charles he had just seen.
Zhao Qianlan really didn't expect that Charles, whom she just met, would call her at this time. She gave the other party a business card out of a kind of politeness. This was just a very ordinary chance encounter, just like a small wave in the long river of life. Occasionally, a little turbulence was turned on, and then disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace to be found.
But she never expected that the other party would contact her again so quickly.
Her heart suddenly became a little confused. She stared at Charles on the screen talking, but she couldn't hear what the other person was saying.
When she met such a person in the past, she would definitely feel bored and turned off the communicator without hesitation. But for some reason, she really couldn't have annoying thoughts when she saw the handsome smiling face on the screen.
What's wrong with her? She suddenly hated herself a little, and finally reached out and pressed the communicator's turn off button. The screen turned black and the tranquility returned to its original state.
An inexplicable melancholy rose in her heart, which made her heart even more panicked. She now regretted that she shouldn't have given the other party that business card.
