My online dating circle has millions of followers, why would she put a collar on me?

The moment Jiang Yi saw Liu Ming, his body tensed up almost imperceptibly for a second.

"Mr. Liu, what a coincidence."

Xia Anmian's tone was very calm.

Then, she quietly took Jiang Yi's hand.

Liu Ming's gaze swept back and forth between the two men before finally settling on Jiang Yi, a standard business smile playing on his lips.

"Mr. Jiang, it's nice to see you again."

"Hello." Jiang Yi nodded without saying anything more.

"Miss Xia, are you also going to Shanghai?" Liu Ming looked at Xia Anmian, his tone perfectly respectful. "I'm going there too. Which flight are you taking?"

Xia Anmian gave the flight number.

Liu Ming's eyes lit up slightly:

"What a coincidence, I'm on the same flight. While we're waiting to board, I'd like to ask you about some details regarding the project. Would that be convenient?"

Xia glanced at Jiang Yi, then said to Liu Ming:

"It's not convenient today; I'm with my boyfriend. We'll talk about the project when we get to Shanghai."

Liu Ming's expression remained unchanged, still bearing that perfectly timed smile:

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you any longer. If you need anything when you get to Shanghai, feel free to contact me."

After saying that, he nodded to the two of them and dragged his suitcase toward the security checkpoint.

Jiang Yi frowned as he watched his retreating figure.

This person's appearance was too coincidental, so coincidental that it made him feel uncomfortable.

But he didn't think much of it and turned his attention back to Xia Anmian.

"Let's go, security check." Xia Anmian took his arm, her tone returning to its previous relaxed state.

The two checked their luggage and then went through security.

After passing through security, the two walked towards the boarding gate.

When we arrived at the boarding gate, there was still more than half an hour before boarding.

The waiting area was packed with people, so they found a relatively empty row of seats and sat down. Xia Anmian leaned on his shoulder and took out her phone to check messages.

Jiang Yi also took out his phone, pretending to read the news, but his mind was filled with other thoughts.

Su Xiaoyue hasn't replied to her message yet.

It's been almost an hour since that "Good morning, honey" message came in. Knowing her personality, she's probably feeling incredibly wronged on the other side of the screen.

But he couldn't reply to the chat box filled with "husband," "baby," and "miss you" in front of Xia Anmian. If Xia Anmian saw any of those words, he wouldn't be able to explain himself clearly.

"Mianmian," he said.

"Hmm?" Xia Anmian didn't look up, her finger still tracing names on the screen.

I'm going to the restroom.

"Go ahead," Xia Anmian replied, still without looking up.

Jiang Yi stood up, took a few steps toward the restroom, and then turned into a relatively secluded corner.

There weren't many people in this area of ​​the terminal; several rows of seats were empty, and only a middle-aged man was on the phone in the distance.

He leaned against a pillar and took out his phone.

The moment the screen lit up, his breath hitched.

Seventeen unread messages.

All of these are from Su Xiaoyue.

It starts with "Good morning, honey" around 7 a.m.

Around 8 PM, she asked, "Honey, why aren't you talking to me today?"

"Are you busy again at nine o'clock?"

From "Honey, I miss you so much" at 9:30, to "Honey, I'm almost there" ten minutes ago.

The last one made his heart skip a beat.

Almost there? What's almost there?

He scrolled up quickly, and at 9:42, Su Xiaoyue sent a message:

Little Moon: Honey, I woke up really early this morning. I tossed and turned in bed thinking about you, and then I made a decision.

Little Moon: I changed my ticket.

Little Moon: I was originally supposed to arrive on Wednesday afternoon, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I changed my flight to this morning.

Little Moon: Honey, I'm on the plane now, we'll arrive in a little over an hour.

Little Moon: Aren't you surprised? (✪ω✪)

Jiang Yi stared at these messages and felt his blood freeze for a moment.

I'll be arriving in Shanghai this morning.

Su Xiaoyue changed her flight and will arrive in Kyoto today.

He glanced at the time on his phone: 10:17.

Su Xiaoyue said she would arrive in a little over an hour, so she would probably board the plane around nine o'clock.

The flight from Shanghai to Kyoto takes a little over two hours, and the landing time should be around 11:00 AM, at the latest no later than 11:30 AM.

And now, it is 10:17.

There is at most one hour before Su Xiaoyue lands.

Jiang Yi's hand holding the phone began to tremble.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

At the boarding gate, Xia Anmian's flight was at 10:30, and she would be boarding in about ten minutes.

In other words, when Xia Anmian took off, Su Xiaoyue was still in the air.

When Xia Anmian landed in Shanghai, Su Xiaoyue was already in Kyoto.

One went south, and the other went north.

Perfect miss.

But what if Su Xiaoyue wants to see him after she lands?

She's currently in heaven, and her phone is most likely switched off, so she won't be sending messages for the time being.

When she landed and turned on her phone, she found that he hadn't replied yet. Knowing her personality, she would definitely call him immediately.

He needs to make a decision.

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and quickly typed a line of text on the screen:

"Honey, I'm at the airport seeing a friend off. Let me know when you land and I'll come pick you up."

After sending it, he added another sentence:

"Be careful on the road, and contact me as soon as you arrive."

After sending those two messages, he stared at the screen for a few seconds, but of course there was no reply; Su Xiaoyue's phone was still off.

He took a deep breath, stuffed his phone back into his pocket, and walked back quickly.

As I approached the boarding gate, an announcement was being made that boarding for Xia Anmian's flight was about to begin.

Xia Anmian had already stood up, carrying her bag, and was looking towards the boarding gate. Seeing him approach, her expression visibly relaxed.

"Why did it take you so long?"

"Let's queue up." Jiang Yi lied without batting an eye, took the bag from her hand, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the boarding gate."

The two walked side by side toward the boarding gate.

Xia Anmian's flight uses a jet bridge for boarding, and the queue is already very long.

Jiang Yi handed her the bag, stood next to the line, and watched her swipe her boarding pass and walk across the jet bridge.

When they reached the entrance of the covered bridge, Xia Anmian suddenly turned around and waved to him.

Jiang Yi waved to her and smiled.

Then Xia Anmian turned around, walked into the covered bridge, and disappeared around the corner of the passage.

Jiang Yi stood outside the boarding gate, watching the increasingly smaller figure in the jet bridge, and a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.

Xia Anmian left, flying to Shanghai.

Su Xiaoyue is coming; she will fly to Kyoto.
