Section 2
What I did not expect was that not only were the doctors from the team standing at the door, but also Han Ning
The two of them chatted casually, with Xiao Yu starting from the 5-cent popsicle and moving on to the free swimming pool, unexpectedly recounting her childhood experiences in detail. Han Ning listened with a smile, occasionally offering comforting words, each one hitting the mark. They continued their conversation until sunset before leaving the tavern. The night sky was startlingly clear, and after a long moment of hesitation, Xiao Yu pointed at the sky and said, "This handsome guy, please help me take a picture of the night sky in Tibet"
"Your preschool education is quite thorough," Han Ning said with a smile, "Butter tea can alleviate altitude sickness, give it a try"
When I was young, " she said, then felt it was inappropriate, " it should be when I was in college. I always felt like there were many emotions to vent, a feeling of being young and not knowing the taste of sorrow, yet insisting on expressing sorrow. But I didn't like being sickly and weak, so every time I couldn't hold it in, I would go get my ears pierced, and over time, I ended up with many piercings. In fact, it wasn't to show how special I was, " she took out money and handed it to the vendor, jokingly saying, " I decisively chose the latter between harming society and harming myself. " In fact, it wasn't to show how special I was, " she took out money and handed it to the vendor, jokingly saying, " I decisively chose the latter between harming society and harming myself.
Suddenly losing her desire to speak, she hurriedly said that someone was knocking at the door and then hung up the phone
In just one day, I met someone at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport at noon, and we spent the entire day together. She generously treated me to dinner as well. I never expected that at ten o'clock at night, she would still be wrapped in a bath towel, sitting next to him while receiving an intravenous drip.
Just like that, almost as if they were old friends, the two of them spent a day together and only returned to the hotel after having dinner together
She picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip, feeling warm inside: "Therefore, I have always believed that the saying 'the early bird catches the worm' is false. Back then, in order to make me learn English, I specifically transferred to kindergarten, but unexpectedly, after twenty years, I am still lagging behind."
Haven't seen a book in life when sick? ... What is there to be curious about ...
At the time of the founding of the nation, there was no English to be found anywhere. Naturally, that generation responded to the call for Sino-Soviet friendship and learned Russian, often being half-forced by their grandfathers and fathers to study it. What a pity, what a pity, the tongue just couldn't roll around it. ... Xu Nanzheng was quite similar; sometimes when he went out to do business with Russians, he actually had to give the Russian translator a few pointers ...
"Hey, that startled me over there. Gao Yuan, are you daring enough to have a fever? Aren't you afraid of pulmonary edema leading you directly to meet God?"
After negotiating the price, she directly put on the extravagant earrings while facing the mirror. Beneath her tousled long hair, one could faintly see numerous tiny diamond studs adorning her ears, from the outer rim to the earlobe, and even on the delicate ear cuff.
Learning to mimic can also lead to mastering a foreign language, and this is a form of talent
Han Ning did not know where she had gotten the pear, and she carefully peeled it with the Swiss Army knife she always carried with her. After peeling a thin layer, it surprisingly did not break and was dragged directly to the ground. Finally, she used two fingers to tear it off and handed it to her, saying: "Here, eat it."
She murmured, "I will call to see if you have eaten."
In contrast to her melancholy, Han Ning appeared quite composed as she handed her a cup of hot water, saying, "I just went to get some medicine from the doctor and overheard your colleague's phone call, which sounded as if someone was about to make a sacrifice, so I was curious and came to take a look"
"Where are you taking me, and what are the benefits?" He put away the camera and led her downstairs. "Do you know how expensive a tour guide is here?" Xiao Yu was taken aback by his words and couldn't recover for a long time.
After a long wait, Xu Nanzheng finally answered the phone, his voice low and slightly hoarse yet still pleasant: "Xiao Xiao?"
The arm extends out, already covered in sweat
I have some free time, would you like me to drive to pick you up
"This will affect your hearing," he said, touching the pure black ring on her ear screen. "It's the first time I've seen someone wear it here."
This truly came as a surprise. Although I took a nap, my hair has not completely dried and remains half wet. Wrapped in a bath towel and without wearing any outer clothing, I was brazenly exposed to his gaze.
She coughed twice and said softly, "I believe in Buddhism, so I probably won't meet God"
She felt a bit dizzy, and it seemed that the air she exhaled was somewhat warm. Just as she was about to continue joking with him, she heard someone over there asking General Manager Xu if he wanted to order dinner. It was Xiang Lan's voice
Xiao Yu was so frightened by the doctor that he was left dumbfounded, secretly cursing to himself, isn't this already a lost cause
As soon as she placed the phone on the table, she heard a knock on the door, along with someone calling her name. How efficient, she thought to herself, as she groggily got out of bed, only to remember that she was only wrapped in a bath towel. However, it was the doctor coming, and there was no particular taboo regarding this profession. Fang Zheng also lacked the energy to get dressed, so she simply walked over and opened the door
Han Ning helplessly looked up, standing among the crowd to take pictures of the starry sky for her. In fact, he wanted to tell her that the place where she would be filming in a few days would have the most beautiful night sky, but he could not refuse her rare excitement. The surroundings were chaotic, yet he was very serious, determined to find a good angle. Xiao Yu watched him being jostled by the crowd and realized that she was the one being excessive.
She was connected to the producer, mumbling about the work schedule for tomorrow. She listened in a daze, feeling as if she were about to meet the King of Hell. After a good four or five minutes, the workaholic on the other end finally sensed something was off: "You’re not suffering from altitude sickness, are you?" She replied softly with a faint "mm," her throat aching as if it were about to bleed: "I suppose so, I have a fever."
She said thank you, took a bite, and the juice was so abundant that it quickly dripped down her palm. Just as she felt annoyed, he handed her a tissue, and she was a bit taken aback, not accepting it.
Han Ning looked on with great interest; she was undoubtedly a beauty. From the earlier conversation, it was clear that she came from a well-off family, as girls from such backgrounds are usually pampered and self-sufficient. However, from the very first glance, he felt that she seemed to lack a sense of security, appearing more like a woman filled with worries.
She was truly exasperated and exclaimed that she would call the doctor to come see her
"Isn't wearing so much just to be seen? Why cover it up?" he suddenly asked
She smiled at the mirror, then brushed her hair smooth. Among her long hair, the newly purchased earrings could only be seen faintly, while the rest seemed deliberately hidden.
She recalled her dismal English and sighed: "I have been learning English with my teacher since kindergarten, and even in university, I was transferred to the Foreign Languages Department. Over the long journey of life, I have studied English for twenty years."
As the two entered, the Russian waitress immediately smiled upon seeing Han Ning and began to converse with him in a low voice, appearing as if they were old acquaintances. Xiao Yu could not understand a word of their conversation and only quietly asked after they sat down: "Technician, are you a major in Russian?" Aside from specialized language programs, it is indeed rare in this era to find individuals who study Russian.
She had booked a resort hotel in Lhasa. When she returned to her room, a young Tibetan girl specifically came to remind her that there might not be hot water in the morning, suggesting that if she wanted to take a shower, she should do so in the evening. Because of this remark, she closed the door and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Feeling hot, she wrapped herself in a towel and walked out, her hair tips dripping with water, yet she was too lazy to dry them.
Xiao Yu glanced at him and said, "What do you want me to say by asking like this?"
Thus, after tossing and turning for most of the night, it was fortunate that the doctors in Tibet were experienced and used effective medications. A bag of saline completely brought down the fever. She looked at the doctor as he replaced the second bag and lightly asked, "I won't die this time, will I?" The doctor was startled by her bluntness and solemnly advised her not to bathe without getting dressed next time, suggesting that it would be best not to wash her hair for the entire eight days here
Feeling somewhat irritated by the heat, Xiao Yu took out a tissue, handed him one, and then proceeded to wipe his own sweat
She had thought that she would not experience altitude sickness and had even taken Rhodiola rosea capsules before boarding the plane. However, after taking a shower, she felt breathless and hesitated on whether to call the doctor from the crew. Her phone was placed next to the telephone, and throughout the day, apart from work-related calls, there was no news from Xu Nanzheng. In the end, she inexplicably dialed his number first.
The clean starry sky, so pure. She looked happy and nodded seriously: "Alright, I will treat you to dinner tonight"
In a quiet room, where would anyone come?
Han Ning poured her a bowl of butter tea: "When I was a child, my father would talk to others, and I would mimic him from the side. I didn't expect that by chance I would learn it, though I didn't speak it well; I could barely manage to communicate."
Most of the time, the gaze is unfocused, as if hesitating and wandering. Whether impatiently tapping on the computer or staring blankly at the back of the seat in front on an airplane, whenever alone, it seems as if one is contemplating something, burdened by a heavy weight in the heart
It was not until the needle pierced her hand that she looked at him softly and said, "Pour me a glass of water"
The pain feels as if it is etched into the skin, burning inch by inch
Han Ning smiled faintly, continuing to take pictures with the camera, but he was constantly pressing the shutter button aimed at her. Xiao Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable because of him and turned her head to look at Bajiao Street: "Where is the Magi Amma Tavern? It is said that the Sixth Dalai Lama wrote a love poem there. Everyone in the company says I must go see it."
"You didn't even check the precautions before entering Tibet," he said as he placed it in her palm. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Walking along the Jokhang Temple, the open-air shops on both sides of Barkhor Street are bustling with tourists, and the merchants are eloquent and persuasive. It is entirely a mature commercial market, which piqued her interest in shopping. With every few steps, she would stop to look at the jewelry, and after just a few exchanges, she could skillfully haggle and negotiate, showing no fear of the occasionally impatient merchants.
It was not until she reached the intersection of two streets that she saw the yellow two-story building in front of her, which was the place she was looking for
The bustling and noisy scene was merely a reflection of what lay ahead of him. Xiao Yu leaned against the headboard and watched television for a while, increasingly feeling a headache. Ultimately, he burrowed under the covers and dozed off for a bit. Due to a severe lack of sleep, he felt as if he could sleep to death. His throat was dry and painful, yet no matter how he struggled, he could not wake up. Fortunately, his phone rang incessantly; he did not know who was so persistent, calling him over a dozen times, which finally managed to pull him out of his dreams.
It was actually just because of this watch that she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity towards him
Han Ning chuckled and said, "You must be a child of the 1980s, right? Back then, even the teachers didn't speak well, so how could they teach effectively?" Xiao Yu thought for a moment and felt somewhat relieved, then took another sip of tea and replied, "You really know how to comfort people."
Finally finished taking the photo, he brought it over and smiled at her: "If you want to take it, there will be a charge."
She looked at the reflection of the lamp on the glass and paused for a moment: "I am in Tibet." There was no response from his side; it seemed he took a sip of water before asking, "Why did you suddenly go to Tibet?" Her tone was relaxed: "I’m shooting a film; the client is afraid of the danger and won’t come, so I’m representing them fully." He laughed, as if he really wanted to stand up for her: "Which company is making such demands? Next time, I’ll go and give them a lesson."
