Chapter 16 Section 16

CAROL got off the plane and walked along the arrow of TICKETING/BAGGAGECLAIMING according to the method Jason told her in EMAIL. B City Airport is even bigger and more grand than San Francisco Airport, brightly lit, people come and go, everyone looks so polite and decent, so you don’t feel that it’s already night, and you don’t feel that this is the crime capital of the United States. .She dragged her small suitcase, carrying a laptop and a small bag, and imagined what it would be like to meet Jason as she walked. She recognized him right away near the baggage claim turntable for flight 7674. Although she couldn't remember his face clearly, he was the only Chinese near the turntable, so it could only be him.He stood far away from the turntable, as if he was not waiting for luggage, but for someone.He was wearing glasses, a white T-shirt, and jeans. Although he wasn't handsome, he wasn't ugly either.

She felt that he was looking her way, and she smiled at him.He smiled too, but didn't seem to recognize her, and immediately turned his gaze to the other passengers behind her.She thought, it seems that he really didn't see the photo I put on the BBS, just a living Lei Feng.I felt a little blush at the thought of my self-indulgent fantasies on the plane, but also a sense of relief. It would be better if he helped me without any selfishness, because he is really not handsome.She collected herself and walked towards him steadily. When she was still some distance away from that Jason, she heard someone calling her beside her:

"CAROL?" It is a very pleasant male voice, it is a voice that comes from the bottom of the heart, not from the mouth.Growing up so big, she has only heard two men with such voices, one is "that man". One is the English teacher of her university. His voice is beautiful, but when it comes from the earphones during the listening class, it is very moving.If it doesn't come from the headphones, the breathtaking sound quality will be gone.But the soft calling of the person beside her made her feel a tremor. She turned her head and saw a young man smiling at her. She was not sure if he was Chinese, as if he had Spanish or some kind of blood mixed in.She didn't believe he was calling her. There must be many people named CAROL.She wanted to turn her head and continue walking, but couldn't help but want to take another look.

"Li Jingcheng?" He used Chinese this time. She stared at him blankly, he could speak Chinese. "Are you—?" she stammered. "I'm Jason." He smiled, and she noticed that he had a beard on his upper lip, a bit of beard under his lower lip, and a beard on his chin.She used to hate boys with beards, but the beards left on this man's face had unexpected functions, making his smile look half-hidden, making his lips look red and sexy, and making his teeth look rosy. Looks flawless.This beard reminded her of Rhett Brad in the film, a kind of badness that "men are not bad, but women don't love".

He is JASON?She couldn't believe her ears, maybe I really have "superconsciousness"?May all your wishes come true?Just now I was thinking all the way if Jason could be handsome for two or three points, then a handsome Jason would really emerge.Maybe it was because I hoped so strongly that I had hallucinations?But this person is more than two or three points handsome?She didn't know how to describe this man, she just felt that handsome couldn't express her feelings. What the handsome guy gave her was a noisy and noisy feeling, as if the handsome guy himself was discharging electricity and his fans were cheering.The handsome guy shouted: I'm calling!Fans exclaimed: I fall!The handsome guy is proud of being able to discharge the electric discharge, the fans are willing to be turned over by the electric discharge, everything is noise and commotion.

But this person just stood there quietly, smiling at her quietly, making her feel that all the people and things around her were receding, and only he and she were left standing in the waiting hall with their eyes facing each other. Like a shot in an early silent film, like a dream repeated many times, like a promise that has been waiting for thousands of years.She kept saying to herself: Stop sex, stop sex, stay calm.If she didn't warn herself like this, she felt that her soul would fly out of her body, float straight to him, and float into his arms. "Are you Jason?" She asked in disbelief, then pointed to the "JASON" just now, "Then who is he?"

He looked in the direction she pointed, and shook his head: "I don't know, should I go over and ask for you?" She heard the ridicule in his words, and blushed and said, "No, no, it must be a mistake, but he was still smiling at me just now." "Did you smile at him first?" He continued to tease, and seeing her blushing even more, he explained, "I'm joking with you, don't mind. People here are very friendly, and people who don't know will nod , Smile. If you don’t believe me, look.” As he spoke, he smiled at an American passing by and said hello: “Hi!” She heard the American say “Hi!” too.

She still couldn't believe that he was Jason: "But you said you were WEARYOURHAIRTHIN!" "Then you're saying it's not THIN enough?" He stroked his hair and smiled silently, "Keep working hard in the future to get thinner and thinner." She saw his slender fingers passing through his thick and slightly curly black hair, and she thought that these hands should be used for music, piano, violin, or guitar, never the same. "I've seen your webpage, there are photos, it's not like this—" She wanted to say "it's not so handsome", but she didn't have the nerve to say it.

"I'm an internet blind, I don't have a webpage, whose webpage did you plant on my head?" He smiled, took out something like a ID card, and handed it to her, "Come on, here is my student ID card, you verify it Just a moment, or you won't come with me." She took it over and looked it over carefully. She didn't dare to stare at him just now, but she took this opportunity to take a look at his student ID card and his face again, as if she was doing business to check if he was Jason.She saw that his eyebrows were thick, and his eyeballs were as big and black as those of a child, unlike ordinary adults, whose eyeballs had become smaller and yellower with age.His nose bridge is high and his nose is straight.She looked carefully regardless of him, but he kept smiling and accepted her scrutiny.

The workmanship of the student ID card is still exquisite, but the camera technology is really not flattering, the whole face is flushed, like a skinned rabbit, and it feels bloody.She couldn't help asking: "Why is C University so good? This photo is—" "This kind is $10 per certificate. If you are willing to pay $15, you can take a photo of the yellowed one." Jason said with a smile, "People call this kind BBQSPARERIBS, and the yellow one is called CURRYBEEF. Have you ever eaten here? American-style Chinese food, I don’t know the beauty of these two names.” She really doesn't know the beauty of these two names, but she understands the meaning.She checked his student ID card carefully and found that there was no date of birth or address on it, just a name and a string of numbers.She saw that the name on the student ID card was "JIANG, CHENG", so his surname was Jiang, not Cheng.The one I found online is really not him, that one is Cheng Jiang.

"Your name is Jiangcheng? Wuhan is called Jiangcheng, right? Are you from Wuhan?" she asked. "I'm not from Wuhan. I'm not from the city. I'm a successful student. There's no major reason, but my parents' surname is Jiang and the other is Cheng. Both of them have to use their own names. If they can't agree, they will use both. ’ he said as he put her luggage on a cart and asked, ‘Can you come with me now?’ "I'm really sorry, I don't know how to thank you for keeping you waiting at the airport for so long." "Then study hard, improve every day, and report to me with excellent grades." He also put the small suitcase in her hand on the car, and carried her laptop on his back, leaving only a small handbag for her.Then she changed her humorous tone and asked in a gentle tone that made her bones crisp: "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, I will take you there to eat at McDonald's; if you are not hungry, I will take you It takes about half an hour to eat Chinese food at a Tangren restaurant. You may not be used to eating American food when you are new here, but can you still hold on for half an hour?" She likes to hear him say "I will take you" and "I will take you", which gives her a very kind feeling and the feeling of being pampered.She raised her head, looked at him, and said softly, "I'm not hungry. I'll go with you to eat whatever you want." "Then let's go eat Chinese food." He pushed the car and took her to the place where he parked.He was tall, with long strides, and she had to trot to keep up, and he noticed this and slowed down to walk beside her. "You have been waiting since morning?" She couldn't help asking. "How can you be so stupid?" He said with a smile, "The shift after five o'clock didn't pick you up. I waited until after ten o'clock and got another one. I found out that you didn't arrive until after nine o'clock in the evening, so I sent that one back first." I'm sorry to ask him to accompany you to wait at the airport." She felt that he spoke as if it was natural for him to wait at the airport, and she was very happy, thinking that maybe he sent the other girl back first because he wanted to be alone with me. "Where did that girl come from?" she asked. "Which girl?" He seemed confused by her sudden question. "It's the one you picked up this morning." "Oh, that's not a girl, it's the girl's father, a visiting scholar." He tilted his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "Why do you think it's a girl? I just said I'm going to pick up another person, and I don't Didn't say it was a woman." "Then you are really a living Lei Feng." When she said this, even she felt a bit resentful in her tone. "Everyone is the same. When I first came here, others helped me. Maybe this time next year, you will be able to drive a car to pick up new students."
