Chapter 2: Here comes the surprise
Chapter 2
Jian Xi got off the airport shuttle bus and arrived at the airport in Z City.
She was dressed very simply in coarse hemp cloth, but her appearance was exceptionally sweet. Carrying a small package, she also held a wooden sword and a jade flute in one hand. Most people in the airport couldn't help but lay their eyes on her.
Jian Xi didn't care how others looked at her. She first went to the airport courier service, then walked straight to the number seven ticket service counter in the domestic area.
There were several people inquiring about tickets in front of the service counter, so Jian Xi quietly lined up behind them.
Soon, the two people in front left, and it was finally her turn.
"Hello, I have... oh it's you, Jian Xi. You've come to 'pay' again today?" Feng Xueqing said with a smile.
Jian Xi was also happy, the corners of her lips curving up. "Yes, sister. Today I've come to give you the rest of the money. Take a look, it should be enough to buy an air ticket to B City now." As she spoke, she took out all the money she had left today, forty-five yuan, and handed it to Feng Xueqing.
Feng Xueqing took the coins Jian Xi handed over. "Wait a moment, let me take out all your money and count it up. I remember it should be enough with this forty-five yuan!"
Jian Xi nodded, the smile still on her lips. "Okay, thanks Sister, trouble you!"
It must be enough!
Feng Xueqing took out a key and unlocked a drawer under the service counter, taking out a bag that was not too big. She opened it and took out all the money inside.
It was a very thick stack, organized very neatly by Feng Xueqing with clips, and there were even a few one yuan coins. She poured them all out and started counting.
Jian Xi glanced at the neat stack of money, and the smile at the corner of her lips deepened a little more.
Although the stack Feng Xueqing was holding was thick, they were all small change - tens, twenties, with fifties being the highest!
In fact, Feng Xueqing was also very surprised when Jian Xi first came to her. Nowadays there were very few people still buying air tickets with cash, let alone 'paying in installments' over a month like her.
But on second thought, the little girl must have some difficulties. If I can help, I'll help.
And so she helped Jian Xi deposit this money every day until there was enough to buy a ticket to B City.
After counting it once, Feng Xueqing put down the money in her hand, then checked the latest price of the last flight to B City again. Indeed it was enough!
"Jian Xi, your money can buy a ticket to B City now, and there are three yuan left. Shall I buy it for you now?" Feng Xueqing was also very happy for her, her tone a little excited!
"Buy it now, buy it now. Thank you, sister." Although Jian Xi knew today that this was definitely going to work out, she still couldn't help being overjoyed!
"Okay, I'll book the ticket for you now. Give me your ID!"
After a series of operations, Feng Xueqing went to the check-in counter and took out her boarding pass too.
When handing these things to Jian Xi, she also reminded her, "Boarding in two hours. Go through security now, then follow the signs." She pointed to the departure gate number on the boarding pass, "Just go to departure gate B6 and wait to board. Remember it?"
Jian Xi nodded. "I remember, thanks!"
Seeing that she really remembered it, Feng Xueqing felt relieved too. She tidied up the things on the counter, and also gave Jian Xi the three yuan left.
Jian Xi put everything in her small bag, except she kept the three leftover coins.
She picked up the three coins, looked at Feng Xueqing, and asked, "Sister, to thank you for helping me, why don't I give you a fortune telling? Do you have anything you want to ask?"
Feng Xueqing laughed. The little girl was quite interesting. Holding three coins, she really looked the part. And there was no one coming to inquire about tickets right now anyway. She would accept her thanks. "Alright, then can you give me a fortune about relationships?"
She was now safe and sound with her family, naturally she didn't need to ask about those things. In the end she chose to ask about her relationships. Whether it turned out well or not didn't matter!
Jian Xi didn't hesitate. She picked up the three coins and tossed them casually.
Feng Xueqing watched as the three coins Jian Xi threw out spun around on the counter several times before stopping!
The first two landed heads up, the last one tails up. Feng Xueqing naturally didn't understand. She looked sideways at Jian Xi, waiting for her to speak.
Jian Xi didn't say anything, but picked up the three coins on the counter and threw them a few more times. The second time was still two heads and one tail. The third time it changed to two tails and one head, and Feng Xueqing didn't remember the last three throws.
Feng Xueqing didn't remember, but Jian Xi remembered them all. After the final throw, Jian Xi picked up the coins in her hand.
In fact, she had looked at Feng Xueqing's face. She was upright and kind. Her life palace was full and bright, and her parents palace was also slightly prominent without any bias or slant - tall, round and clear. Her life was also full of blessings, which was also why Jian Xi came to her for help initially!
However, face reading, eight trigrams and fate calculations are different from fortune telling. Face reading, eight trigrams and such can know a person’s destiny in life, while fortune telling analyzes a specific matter.
Feng Xueqing already had a good destiny. This was also why Jian Xi chose to give her a fortune reading instead of telling her anything else. After all, some things were a person's secret - saying too much might even change one’s original destined path!
Jian Xi spread open the three coins in her hand and handed them to Feng Xueqing. The corner of her lips hooked up into a smile. "Sister, you already have someone you admire. You reunited with him a month ago. You and he have an affinity by fate, and it's even a positive affinity. That means in the future before you get married, there may be some small troubles, but as long as you two trust each other, you can resolve them. Speaking of which, what a coincidence - you may receive a big surprise later!"
Jian Xi glanced at the time on the screen next to her. Hehe, she could witness this kind sister's happy moment with her own eyes!
Feng Xueqing stared blankly at Jian Xi, subconsciously taking the three coins from her hand.
She did admire someone - her high school classmate. When they were in school, she had a secret crush on him, but they lost contact after the college entrance exams. They reconnected at a high school reunion a month ago!
"Surprise? What surprise will I get later?" Feng Xueqing reacted and curiously asked.
Jian Xi shook her head mysteriously. "It's confidential. You'll know soon. I'll go through security first. Keep the coins as a souvenir, Sister. Well then...till we meet again!"
With that, Jian Xi waved at Feng Xueqing, then turned around and did not head to security first, but went to the bathroom instead.
After all, she still had to witness this kind sister's happy moment herself. Going to the bathroom shouldn't make her miss it!
Soon, Jian Xi came out of the bathroom. After washing her hands, she took out her phone from her bag to check the time. Her red lips parted slightly. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
As soon as she finished speaking, sounds of astonishment came from the service counter area.
"Wow! A confession scene!"
"Wow! What a perfect match!"
"Wow! Say yes to him!"
"Say yes to him!"
"Say yes to him!"
Not far away, Jian Xi saw Feng Xueqing accept the gentleman's red rose with a smile blooming across her face. "The surprise is here now!" Then she turned around and walked towards the security checkpoint!
