Section 2

This dates back to three years ago! How can she be considered a child of civil aviation? According to the rules, it should have been approved, but why was her father ignored?

Tang Xiaoxiao hung up the phone in disappointment. After a while, she thought about trying again, but when she pressed the redial button, she was stunned. The screen displayed the name "A Zhuo" instead of "Mom." In her moment of panic, she had inadvertently called Nie Zhuoyang.

Hu Feng listened for a while and shook his head: "Alright, I figured it out, it's the only female manager who doesn't take you seriously."

Mo Xiaoli simply jumped up from the sofa and stepped aside: "You haven't offended me; you are just playing with me! It's just me being foolish, truly considering you as a sister and taking your words seriously! I foolishly ran to the bottom of the flight attendant building to wait, only to find you and Captain Nie having noodles together in the restaurant across the street!"

Captain, our code is actually 0002! In the cockpit, the co-pilot Hu Feng turned his head and smiled mysteriously at Nie Zhuoyang, saying, "There are rumors in the community that the smaller the assigned radar secondary code, the earlier the clearance!"

Hu Feng looked ahead, too lazy to even ask a question, and sighed: "Alas, all this time in the corridor has been nothing but repeating instructions and asking for the time. I might as well give it a try and see if I can win her over in three sentences!"

"Without wind, there are no waves; even flies do not land on an uncracked egg. How can rumors not be directed at others?"

Hu Feng watched him leave the cockpit, feeling somewhat troubled. It is true that Nie Zhuoyang has excellent skills and strong abilities, and he graduated early with a clear goal of flying domestic routes. He has accumulated a significant number of takeoffs and landings in just a few years, earning enough flight hours to be promoted to captain through assessments. However, without the favor of higher-ups, he would not have risen so quickly. Yet, he has always been very low-key about this aspect and is quite sensitive to others mentioning it. As a result, he directly avoided the topic.

Hu Feng is someone who speaks without restraint. Nie Zhuoyang knows that he is just joking, but he feels uncomfortable inside, as if he has been cherishing a red apple that he is reluctant to eat, only to have someone take a bite out of it. Even if it hasn't been bitten yet, just the sight of someone drooling over his red apple makes him unhappy

"No, who are you? How could I possibly be worthy of being your sister?" Mo Xiaoli moved aside as if avoiding a plague. "Aren't you leaving after work? Hurry up, go have a candlelight dinner with the star pilot!" Tang Xiaoxiao was left confused by her words and leaned in to ask, "What is wrong with you, Xiaoli? Did I offend you in some way?"

Mom, when will you be back? Dad has been drinking again and is being unreasonable. Please come back quickly to take care of him!" As soon as the call connected, Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but choke up. However, it was unclear whether it was due to a poor signal, but the line was filled with noise, making it impossible to hear anything clearly

Nie Zhuoyang pondered for a moment and said, "Well, it's just... generally okay"

Dad! Tang Xiaoxiao covered her face, her eyes wide with surprise, looking at Tang Shengqiang with utter confusion

As Nie Zhuoyang turned around from behind, he couldn't help but be taken aback, pointing at the Star Airlines plane in front: "What happened? Wasn't there a Hainan Airlines plane in front of us just now? It's only been two minutes..." Hu Feng laughed and said: "Captain, our ground cost is 1,000 yuan per minute, so that cup of coffee you have is worth a fortune!" Nie Zhuoyang sat down nonchalantly: "It's all from our company anyway, so if we let it go, we let it go; the costs will be shared." No sooner had he finished speaking than the control tower notified that the wind direction had changed, and the runway was subsequently switched. Now, the planes in line collectively turned around, with the rear queue becoming the front. Hu Feng was delighted: "We are now first in line; the rumors in the industry are indeed true!" Nie Zhuoyang calmly maneuvered the plane forward, and although he did not speak, the corners of his mouth slowly lifted.

For instance, during break time, a group of people would be enthusiastically discussing something, but as soon as they saw her arrive, they immediately fell silent and greeted her with smiles, their attempts to cover up their conversation only making it more obvious that they were indeed talking about her. What could possibly make her a topic of discussion? The competition for the regulators? Surely not. After a few days, the gossip about her finally reached her ears.

Mo Xiaoli looked incredulous: "He is your classmate? Did you skip three grades in school? If he is your classmate, why didn't you introduce him to me directly? You say you're not interested in him to his face, yet you flirt with him behind my back. Previously, when your cousin went abroad, you took the opportunity to get close to your senior, but who would have thought that your senior got into a car accident and was left disabled? You immediately dumped him and turned around to climb up to a high-ranking official, and that's not enough; you still want to compete with me. Yes, I may be a bit taller than you, but in terms of ability, I am far inferior to you... Previously, when your cousin went abroad, you took the opportunity to get close to your senior, but who would have thought that your senior got into a car accident and was left disabled? You immediately dumped him and turned around to climb up to a high-ranking official, and that's not enough; you still want to compete with me. Yes, I may be a bit taller than you, but in terms of ability, I am far inferior to you..."

Tang Xiaoxiao immediately understood that those rumors had reached his ears, and hurriedly defended herself: "Dad, that is someone deliberately spreading falsehoods! It would be one thing if others were gossiping, but I am your daughter, do you not believe me?"

"It is better to seriously find a girlfriend than to talk nonsense when you have free time." Nie Zhuoyang cast a cold glance over.

Nie Zhuoyang glanced at him and said, "What’s the matter? There are only a few female supervisors in total; which one do you have your eye on?"

The sweet and melodious voice of the female controller came from the corridor, patiently answering one by one

Tang Xiaoxiao's hand trembled, nearly spilling the tea: "The real boyfriend?!"

"Is it just because of this matter? It is evident that your emotional intelligence is truly lacking." Nie Zhuoyang put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said leisurely, "Come, pay me respect as your teacher, and I will teach you a good method." Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly poured a cup of tea, presenting it with both hands: "Teacher Nie, please tell me." A meaningful smile flickered at the corner of Nie Zhuoyang's mouth as he slowly said, "It's very simple; facts speak louder than words. As long as your legitimate boyfriend appears, all rumors will naturally be dispelled."

The kitchen was cold and empty, with no one around. Tang Xiaoxiao heard footsteps behind her, turned her head, and a sharp gust of wind from a hand swept through, landing a heavy slap on her face with a loud "smack".

Nie Zhuoyang smiled faintly, remaining silent. He was well aware of who was on duty today, having long since grasped her scheduling patterns. However, this girl was still sulking; it was just youthful curiosity that led him to set up a telescope aimed at her home. She had ignored him for over a week, and now, in a display of personal vendetta, she had scheduled his flight to the very last position. This could be considered her way of being dedicated and fair.

He referred to the "No. 3" as the first-class flight attendant, who is usually responsible for delivering food and drinks to the crew. Today's No. 3 flight attendant is a rather sweet and beautiful girl. Hu Feng noticed the displeasure in Nie Zhuoyang's emotions and could only smile and change the subject: "Your standards are really high. By the way, I heard that Sister Ye Ru's ex-husband ran off with a large sum of money from her family, and now there are several groups coming to collect debts. Sister Ye Ru is almost at her wit's end..."

"So do you want to save her from the brink of disaster?" Nie Zhuoyang glanced at him sideways, "Our starship's most beautiful flight attendant, Fengzi."

"I didn't mean that, and even if I did, I wouldn't have the ability to do so." Hu Feng quickly waved his hand and lowered his voice, "It's Sister Ye Ru who wants to switch to international flights for a higher income; she has a pile of debts to pay off at home. Sister Ye Ru is a really nice person, and if we can help, we should, right?"

Sixth

Tang Xiaoxiao returned home, feeling a belly full of grievances. Upon seeing the leather shoes at the entrance and the suitcase in the living room, she joyfully dashed into the kitchen: "Dad, you are back!"

"At least you have a conscience, you still remember me, your sparring partner." Nie Zhuoyang took a sip of congee and shook his head again, "When I first returned to Binhai, I thought this Hainanese restaurant was quite good, but how has the quality dropped so significantly now? It's not even as tasty as the plain congee you make"

"Don't call me Dad!" Tang Shengqiang's face was as dark as if ink could drip from it, "You are truly capable; you have brought disgrace to the Tang family!"

Compared to the last aviation fuel incident, rumors about her having a high-ranking leader as a backer have escalated this time into a scandal involving the leader, with seemingly credible evidence and witnesses. "Director Chen often picks up and drops off Tang Xiaoxiao from work." Little do they know, she only hitched a ride once during heavy rain. "Director Chen took Tang Xiaoxiao to the city's most upscale World Trade Center mall and bought her many things, large and small bags." That was a birthday gift for his own daughter; pity that she was merely a little assistant carrying the leader's bags. "Director Chen often picks up and drops off Tang Xiaoxiao from work."

"Director Chen took Tang Xiaoxiao to the city's most upscale World Trade Center mall and bought her many things, large and small bags." That was a birthday gift for his own daughter; pity that she was merely a little assistant carrying the leader's bags. "Director Chen returned from a business trip and didn't go home, but went directly to the Civil Aviation Community to find Tang Xiaoxiao, where they were seen hugging under the shade of a tree..." Clearly, her parents and daughter live in the Civil Aviation Community, and they merely ran into each other under a streetlight, with just a pat on her shoulder; how did it turn into a hug? "Director Chen returned from a business trip and didn't go home, but went directly to the Civil Aviation Community to find Tang Xiaoxiao, where they were seen hugging under the shade of a tree..." Clearly, her parents and daughter live in the Civil Aviation Community, and they merely ran into each other under a streetlight, with just a pat on her shoulder; how did it turn into a hug? "Director Chen sent all controllers with less than five years of experience to let Tang Xiaoxiao compete this time." The cause and effect seem reversed; it should be to promote new talent and provide opportunities and motivation, she was just one of them. "Director Chen was worried that Tang Xiaoxiao would have an accident and snatched her microphone to give commands..." Great, they are bringing up the aviation fuel incident from three months ago again; what does a newly licensed rookie count for? "Director Chen sent all controllers with less than five years of experience to let Tang Xiaoxiao compete this time." The cause and effect seem reversed; it should be to promote new talent and provide opportunities and motivation, she was just one of them. "Director Chen was worried that Tang Xiaoxiao would have an accident and snatched her microphone to give commands..." Great, they are bringing up the aviation fuel incident from three months ago again; what does a newly licensed rookie count for? If something really happened, the leader would bear greater responsibility; penalties are always imposed from top to bottom, and everyone would lose their annual safety bonuses. "Tang Xiaoxiao came from a second-tier university; if it weren't for Director Chen's special approval back then, how could she have gone to the 'four plus one' air traffic control program?"

Hu Feng opened the ground wave channel, only to hear a cacophony of voices inside. During the peak period of the National Day holiday, the traffic is too heavy, and even with good weather, one must wait in line

She never imagined that one day she would become a "celebrity". However, this "celebrity" status was something she accepted with great reluctance. She wished that her fame came from her entry into the national competition of the regulator skills contest as a dark horse, rather than as the leading lady of a scandal, especially since the leading man in the scandal was a leader she deeply respected, who had provided her with much help and encouragement.

"After talking for so long, you little rascal are lying in ambush here!" Nie Zhuoyang did not respond, stood up, and said, "It seems like we will have to wait for a while. I will go to the back for a cup of coffee, no need to trouble No. 3."

That's great! We can't just have congee; we must have a grand feast to celebrate!" Nie Zhuoyang picked up the menu, "Waiter, let's have a lobster sashimi, and also a steamed grouper...

In fact, Tang Xiaoxiao did not take the matter of the telescope to heart; it was merely a moment of anger. Who hasn't gone through a youthful period of naivety? Moreover, those were days they had spent together. Her disappearance this week was due to her seclusion in preparation for the preliminary round of the controller competition. Hard work pays off, and with the right timing, location, and support, she successfully passed the initial challenges and achieved victory in her first battle

"I apologize, sir, but after 11 PM, we only serve items from the late-night menu," the waiter interrupted him apologetically. "Then add a steamed egg with sea urchin and another serving of snail noodles," Tang Xiaoxiao put down the menu and looked up at Nie Zhuoyang. "It's quite late, so don't eat too much; it won't be easy to digest. Let's have some congee first, and another day, I will formally treat you to a meal as a thank-you feast!"

Ground, China Airlines flight 3012, could you please check my position in the queue

I don't have your skills. You just lectured the air traffic control for a whole day, and that was simply renowned far and wide! There are rumors in the community that as long as it's Captain Nie's plane, it sails smoothly when encountering female controllers, but faces obstruction when meeting male controllers!" Hu Feng chuckled and then said, "It's also because your voice is too recognizable; now you've become a public enemy.

The young captain, dressed in a deep blue uniform, had a handsome face and a smile at the corner of his mouth, with his dark eyes filled with clear warmth. He was there, right beside her, having traveled thousands of miles overnight just for a phone call she had only partially completed. Seeing her in such a disheveled state, he asked nothing, but simply stayed with her, offering a smile of trust and reassurance.

Tang Xiaoxiao put down her phone in a daze, feeling an emptiness in her heart. She slowly walked down the stairs and aimlessly wandered around the community. After an unknown amount of time, it was completely dark, the streetlights in the community were lit, and she had unknowingly walked to Nie Zhuoyang's building.

"It's nothing, my dad just got drunk and is acting crazy. I ran out and forgot to bring the keys." Tang Xiaoxiao put down her spoon and pouted, "Tomorrow morning when he sobers up, he will definitely make a bunch of delicious food to win me back. In a few days when my mom comes back, he should just wait to be criticized."

Tang Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment before she understood what she was talking about. It turned out that this girl was truly infatuated, so she had no choice but to explain: "Nie Zhuoyang is my classmate, didn't I tell you about this earlier?"

When she returned to the control tower a day later, she noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat subtle, and everyone's gaze towards her was different from before

Ground, please also check my Shenzhen Airlines flight 3108

Logically, she burst into the provincial-level preliminary competition like a dark horse, securing a ticket to the national competition. Even if her colleagues did not express admiration or encouragement, they should have felt a mix of envy and jealousy. However, now she feels... well, an indescribable feeling

Tang Xiaoxiao found herself at a loss for words, truly experiencing the fear of public opinion, to the point that she could not even eat her lunch. While taking a walk beneath the control tower, she encountered several colleagues from other departments. As usual, everyone exchanged smiles and nodded as they passed by. However, after they had walked past, Tang Xiaoxiao still felt a few gazes lingering on her, and there was an indescribable implication in the smiles of those she had just encountered.

Nie Zhuoyang tilted his chin towards the long line of planes on the runway and said, "Do you think we can come in second? Or maybe last."

Nie Zhuoyang stared at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "You are still the same as when you were a child, arguing with Dad, forgetting to bring the keys, but fortunately, I am here."

As the elevator doors closed automatically, Tang Xiaoxiao came to her senses. On one hand, he was concerned about her well-being; on the other hand, he was perhaps also explaining the reason for his absence over the past few days. Tang Xiaoxiao immediately felt a surge of joy, as all her previous feelings of slight disappointment, grievance, and heartache vanished without a trace

Hu Feng helplessly curled his lips and said: "I don't even know if my wife has been born yet. When you were giving a lecture to the air traffic controllers, did you recognize which one was her? Is she beautiful?" Hu Feng looked curious, unafraid of death, and asked another question.

Dad!" Tang Xiaoxiao stared in disbelief, her eyes wide open as she looked at her father's face, which was contorted with anger and veins bulging. She glanced at the nearly empty bottle of wine on the table, paused for a moment, and then turned and rushed out of the house

"Xiao Xiao, don't pay her any mind. She just got stood up and is having a meltdown, ready to explode at anyone. Come on, let's go have some tea." Xue Gang came out from the inner room to mediate, pushing Tang Xiao Xiao towards the door while turning to Mo Xiao Li and saying, "I say, young lady, wash your face and have a cup of tea. Calm down before you take your seat. Otherwise, I could embody the spirit of Lei Feng and cover for you for a while? Don't let your anger spill over onto the plane and cause more trouble. I'm counting on getting a safety award at the end of the year to pay off my mortgage!"

With a selfless heart, the world is vast. Walk your own path and let others say what they will! Tang Xiaoxiao encouraged herself, holding her head high and moving forward. Under the shade of the trees by the roadside, Lang Tai was repairing a bicycle, his gray work clothes stained with oil, and his face marked with smudges. Tang Xiaoxiao strolled over and pouted, "I say, Gray Wolf, you are after all a talented graduate from a prestigious university. Look at you, spending all day repairing bicycles by the roadside. No wonder my 'Beautiful Sheep' doesn't look at you." Lang Tai put down the wrench and wiped his face with his sleeve, saying, "There's nothing I can do. I have neither connections nor a background, so even a talented graduate from a prestigious university can't compare to you from a second-rate university." It truly is a case of opening the wrong pot to mention the wrong thing. Tang Xiaoxiao frowned, "What do you mean? Do you not believe me either?" Seeing her flustered, Lang Tai instead broke into a silly grin, "I believe you, of course I believe you!" Tang Xiaoxiao felt a bit more at ease. Those who understand her naturally believe in her; the innocent are clear of suspicion, and that is enough. "However..." Lang Tai changed his tone, lowering his voice, "You can't go on like this. You need to seriously think about what is going on. People can be quite fearsome; as a young girl, what will you do if your reputation is ruined?" Tang Xiaoxiao was taken aback by his serious demeanor. Lang Tai set the wrench aside and rubbed his hands together, "I've analyzed this for you and believe that this matter is not just ordinary gossip; it is not aimed at you specifically. You are likely just a victim of collateral damage." Tang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "Are you saying this is to tarnish our Director Chen? What kind of petty person has he offended? Who is so malicious as to spread rumors!"

Although it is said that it is a blessing from heaven and the wind has changed direction, why does he feel in his heart that it is Tang Xiaoxiao who is taking care of him, allowing him to fly first? It seems that the telescope incident has not become a knot between the two of them

Perhaps the chef has already finished work. Tang Xiaoxiao felt as if her heart was melting like honey, warm and sweet, but she certainly would not reveal the secret about the congee. When they had nearly finished their late-night snack, Tang Xiaoxiao expressed the troubles she had been facing these past few days, and finally asked: "Such matters tend to become more complicated the more one tries to explain; I find it difficult to clarify. What do you think I should do?"

"Thank you, Director Chen!" Tang Xiaoxiao felt a warmth in her heart, and her face also flushed. Chen Ling nodded slightly, stepped out of the elevator, paused for a moment, and turned back to say: "It is already autumn, be careful of catching a cold in such light clothing. A few days ago, my wife fell ill, and I accompanied her in the hospital for several days"

... ...

Thus, it is said that women have long hair but short insight. Lang Tai shook his head, saying, "Our Deputy Director Wang has been transferred for over a month now, and this deputy position has also been vacant for more than a month. Director Chen is a popular candidate; whether he can become the youngest deputy director in the history of our bureau will be revealed in less than two months. Although the private lives of employees are their own business as long as they do not affect work, the reputation of leaders is still very important, especially at such a critical moment... Although the private lives of employees are their own business as long as they do not affect work, the reputation of leaders is still very important, especially at such a critical moment..."

At that moment, the phone flashed briefly, drained its last bit of battery, and shut down automatically

"Then you should go find General Manager Wu, how did you end up here?" Nie Zhuoyang's tone suddenly turned a bit cold. Hu Feng chuckled, "Who doesn't know that you have a good relationship with General Manager Wu?"

I am referring to the term 'ordinary'. Do you understand what 'ordinary' means? What follows, like number 3, is what is called 'ordinary'!" Nie Zhuoyang glared at him in dissatisfaction

Third

The window was pitch black. If I remember correctly, Nie Zhuoyang should be spending the night at an airport out of town. Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at the Land Rover parked under the tree and turned to go to the Rainbow Restaurant. After finishing a bowl of oil-splashed spicy noodles, she sat for a long time holding a cup of barley tea. The night was deep, and there were hardly any customers left in the restaurant. The owner approached, rubbing his hands awkwardly and said, "Miss, we are about to close." Tang Xiaoxiao felt a pang in her heart; if even the restaurant was closing, did that mean she really had nowhere to go? Just as she was hesitating to stand up, suddenly with a loud "bang," the door was pushed open forcefully. A person stepped in, bringing with them the heavy cold of the late autumn night, looking travel-worn and weary, yet their eyes, filled with urgency, remained as bright as obsidian.

Indeed, Hu Feng may have exaggerated somewhat, but Nie Zhuoyang's voice is indeed distinctive. Unlike his flamboyant personality, his voice is rich and magnetic, and he has a habitual rising intonation at the end of his sentences when speaking on the phone, which carries a melodious clarity. It is highly recognizable; once you have heard it, you can identify it again upon encountering it.

As the sky darkened, people hurried home along the community road. Tang Xiaoxiao covered her burning cheeks and sadly realized that she had nowhere to go. In the end, she had to turn back and make her way to the rooftop terrace, where she called Yang Buhui. No one answered, as it was likely that Yang Buhui was on duty. Tang Xiaoxiao leaned on the railing, watching a flight attendant pass by below, dragging a rolling suitcase. After a moment's thought, she picked up her phone again and called her mother, Xiao Jie, who was far across the ocean.

Mo Xiaoli!" Tang Xiaoxiao was so angry that her lips trembled, unable to utter a word for a long time

Hu Feng scratched his head: "Anyway, after flying for so long, it's the first time I've encountered a single-digit code. I wonder whether the tower is being managed by a female or male controller at this moment"

Tang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and felt that Lang Tai's speculation made sense. She couldn't help but express her indignation, saying, "So malicious! If they can't find fault elsewhere, they make an issue out of this!" Although she said this, Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a bit lost and wronged when she recalled that she hadn't seen Chen Ling in the Air Traffic Control Building for the past few days. She feared he was intentionally avoiding her. After all the hardships she had endured to pass the preliminary round, she had been looking forward to his praise and further encouragement. She really hadn't done anything wrong; she was truly an innocent victim caught in the crossfire. Tang Xiaoxiao listlessly wandered into the control tower to wait for the elevator. With a soft "ding," it was as if "Open Sesame," and the treasure was revealed; who else could appear before her but Chen Ling? "Xiao Tang, have you eaten?" In the moment she was lost in thought, Chen Ling spoke first, his warm smile as usual, and his concise words remained unchanged, "You performed well, good luck in the semi-finals!"

Moreover, his attitude indicates that he adheres to the principle of being upright and not fearing distorted shadows, caring for his subordinates, being open and aboveboard, and treating rumors as mere clouds. During the brief ascent in the elevator, Tang Xiaoxiao prepared herself mentally, walked into the control room of the tower with a smile, and began her next shift as usual. As the sun set in the west, Tang Xiaoxiao finished her day's work, handed over her duties, and arrived at the break room on the next floor, unexpectedly encountering Mo Xiaoli. "Oh, didn't you specifically change shifts to have a candlelight dinner with the 'rich and handsome'?" Tang Xiaoxiao had heard that her mother was pressuring her to go on blind dates. Leaning on the sofa, Mo Xiaoli glanced at her sideways and replied irritably, "When would the 'rich and handsome' have anything to do with me? I'm not like some people, who appear to be innocent little rabbits on the outside but are actually cunning little foxes at heart..." Tang Xiaoxiao knew that she was in a bad mood and that her words were somewhat harsh, so she could only endure it: "Xiaoli, we are good sisters; it's one thing for others to spread rumors, but why are you also being so..."

On a late autumn night, the chill gradually deepens. The Coconut Grove Seafood City, located by the sea, is enveloped in a layer of white mist rising from the warmth inside, creating a cozy and lively atmosphere. "No matter how big the issue is, we must eat well first!" Nie Zhuoyang pushed the seafood porridge in front of Tang Xiaoxiao. "I have already eaten noodles at the Rainbow Restaurant, you go ahead and eat." Seeing him staring at her, Tang Xiaoxiao felt a bit embarrassed as she thought her eyes must be swollen like walnuts at that moment. She touched her cheek, unsure if the mark left by Old Tang's slap had faded. "You still need to eat a bit more!" Nie Zhuoyang picked up a spoon and forcefully placed it in her hand. Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel a warmth in her eyes and obediently lowered her head to drink a couple of spoonfuls of porridge. The scalding liquid flowed down, instantly warming her limbs and bones.

There exists a person in this world, and she is already sufficiently happy. Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly felt as if the clouds had parted and the mist had cleared, and she also curved her lips: "I haven't had the chance to tell you yet, I passed the preliminary round."

Hu Feng pondered for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, usually the better the voice, the less attractive the person. Just like that announcer we had in university, their appearance was quite unremarkable..."
