Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 137 You'd better quarrel with me
Xu Chen got up early, had a quick bite in the hotel restaurant, then packed up his food and checked out of the room.

After going out and looking at the congestion on the street, I decided to take the subway to the airport.

The subway is just as crowded, but the travel time is still more manageable than taking a taxi.

Xu Chen stood in the corner of the carriage, yawning, holding a workbook in his hand, studying hard even while on the way...

When we arrived at the airport, there was still an hour before take-off, so we had enough time.

After passing the security check, I quickly walked towards the boarding gate...

At Gate 39, the benches were already full of people.

Xu Chen walked around twice to find an empty seat, but stopped at a bench somewhere...

Xie Bingran was sitting there, holding a brown leather backpack in his arms, his head drooping as if he was asleep.

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to see Xie Bingran here.

He showed a hint of doubt, then looked down at the boarding pass in his hand, as if he understood something.

At this moment, Xie Bingran moved and just woke up.

She lowered her head slightly and looked up to see Xu Chen's two feet in front of her.

She didn't look up, but just moved her body and sat up straighter.

He even lowered his head further.

Like a kid who did something wrong and was caught by an adult...

Xu Chen whispered:
"Where's your boarding pass? Let me see it."

Xie Bingran still didn't look up. He took out his pocket and handed over the boarding pass.

Xu Chen took it, took a look at it, frowned, and looked speechless.

It was indeed the same flight as mine.

He looked down at Xie Bingran again and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

It's obvious that he must have spent the night at the airport...

"Wait for me a moment."

He took the two boarding passes and turned to the boarding gate.

Xie Bingran saw him chatting with the staff at the door for a few words, then turned around and walked back.

"Hurry up, let's move our seats together. We have to go to the check-in counter to process it again..."

As he spoke, Xu Chen turned around and walked quickly in the opposite direction.

Xie Bingran was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and chased after him with his backpack in his arms.

As she chased after him, she couldn't help but smile secretly.

……

The two of them jogged all the way through security and returned to the departure hall.

Xu Chen did not stop, and Xie Bingran followed behind him.

The airport was still spacious and after jogging for a while, Xu Chen was already a little out of breath.

He looked back at Xie Bingran, whose expression remained unchanged and whose breathing was smooth as usual, and complained in a low voice:
"Teach me how to exercise later. I really can't keep up with you physically."

"Oh."

The two finally arrived at the check-in counter. Xu Chen saw the long line and went to a staff member nearby to explain the situation.

This brought us to an "expedited" counter with only two people in line ahead of us.

Xu Chen stood in line and whispered to Xie Bingran beside him:

"It's not certain that we can move together. It depends on whether there are any empty row seats."

"it is good."

"Next time... tell me and I'll find a solution. Don't make the decision on your own."

"Oh."

……

Soon it was two people's turn. Xu Chen handed over two boarding passes and explained his desire to change their tickets together.

The staff member operated on the computer for a while and said:

"There are empty seats next to each other, but they are in the last two rows of the cabin, so they might not be as comfortable."

"It's okay, please help us change together." Xu Chen said.

The staff member operated it again and handed over a list:
“This needs to be signed.”

Xu Chen picked up the pen on the table, but found that the pen was broken and could not write.

He pulled the backpack behind him, took out a black fountain pen from the small pocket on the side, and signed his name on the paper.

Xie Bingran accidentally noticed that the pen in Xu Chen's hand was the one she had given him before.

I couldn't help but feel a little happy...

After some operations, the two finally got the new boarding passes.

Xu Chen glanced at the time and found that it was barely enough time, so he led Xie Bingran and quickly walked back to the security check.

He walked breathlessly and said with a smile:

"I don't have to exercise these days, so I'm sure I've gotten enough exercise."

He turned around and looked at Xie Bingran. His expression was still normal and his breathing had not changed at all.

Xu Chen: “…”

The two of them lined up again and went through security check. When they got near the boarding gate, Xu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you eaten?" Xu Chen asked.

"No."

"Let me take you to eat a bowl of noodles. There are plain noodles and a bowl of clean vegetables..."

"Oh."

……

There were two or three customers sitting in the noodle shop next to the boarding gate.

Xie Bingran went to find a seat and sit down first, while Xu Chen went to order food.

The food at the airport is terrible and expensive, but it's a decent meal.

Xu Chen had eaten breakfast, but he knew without thinking that Xie Bingran must still be hungry.

After a while, Xu Chen brought over two bowls of noodles on a tray and gave one of them to Xie Bingran. It only contained vegetables and noodles.

"How was your last night?"

"I just slept for a while at the airport..."

Xu Chen ate noodles and shook his head helplessly.

Xie Bingran looked up at Xu Chen and added:
"There's a rest area in the terminal hall with benches where you can lie down..." "That's uncomfortable too."

"Oh……"

Xie Bingran picked up his backpack, unzipped it, took out the two heavy envelopes from the innermost part, and placed them in front of Xu Chen.

"what is this?"

Xie Bingran lowered his head slightly:
"Here are twenty-two thousand...

I owed you 37,000 yuan before, I will pay you back the 22,000 yuan first, and the rest will have to wait."

Xu Chen looked at the two bulging envelopes on the table and was silent for a moment.

"You waited all night at the airport just for this?"

Thirty-seven thousand yuan was the debt that Xie Bingran owed when his grandmother was sick and needed money.

Xu Chen went to help pay it back, and he never thought of asking Xie Bingran for it...

Xie Bingran lowered his head slightly, his forehead covered with hair, and he looked like a child who had done something wrong. He whispered:
"I don't know when I'll see you next time..."

Xu Chen: "After the college entrance examination, I can go to the provincial capital to see you.

When we go to college in the same city, I can come visit you.

Besides, I have signed a contract with you to be the advertising spokesperson, so I guess I will have to ask you to shoot an advertisement soon..."

Xie Bingran still kept his head slightly lowered and did not speak.

Xu Chen looked at the two envelopes on the table and said:
"I'm not short of money, even if I really want you to pay it back, you don't have to pay it back now.

Besides, I signed an endorsement contract with you without paying any money, and I still owe you money."

Xie Bingran: "These are two different things...

This thirty-seven thousand is something I owe you separately. I must pay you back, and I wrote you an IOU for it.”

She whispered, her tone cold and stubborn.

Xu Chen looked at Xie Bingran's serious expression, helpless:
"You are really brave, a girl, walking around outside with more than 20,000 yuan in cash.

The public security situation is not that good now, I don’t even dare to do this.”

Xie Bingran thought about what happened last night, but was not going to mention it at all.

She thought for a moment and then spoke again:
"We've got off the plane in the provincial capital. I'll accompany you to the provincial capital airport and deposit the money in a bank."

She looked up at Xu Chen again and said seriously:
"Put it away quickly. I'm staying here just to return the money to you."

Xu Chen knew without thinking that this was almost all the savings Xie Bingran had.

Last time, the city leaders said they would give a bonus of 20,000 yuan, and the extra 2,000 yuan might have been saved from before.

Xu Chen: "Give me this money. Do you have any money left to spend?"

Xie Bingran said:

"In the team, I don't have to pay for food and accommodation, clothes are provided, and I get a subsidy every month.

I won the championship this time. In addition to the prize money from the competition, I will also receive a bonus from the province when I return...

I have no place to spend this money, so please put it away quickly."

Xu Chen hesitated for a moment, but still put the two envelopes away and stuffed them into his backpack.

Xie Bingran watched Xu Chen put the money away and finally smiled.

"I don't have the IOU you wrote to me with me."

"It doesn't matter……"

Xie Bingran picked up the chopsticks and started eating the noodles in big mouthfuls.

Xu Chen smiled and continued:
"I thought you waited until this morning just to take the same flight with me, but I didn't expect it was for this."

Xie Bingran swallowed the mouthful of noodles in his mouth, paused and said in a low voice:

"I also want to take the same flight with you and pay you back..."

Xu Chen laughed and lowered his head to eat noodles in big mouthfuls.

He ate quietly, but was thinking in his mind that he needed to find a way to increase Xie Bingran's income as quickly as possible.

He planned the sports brand "Ranbing Sports" for Xie Bingran and also left shares for Bingge.

However, this matter is not mature in all aspects at present and cannot be started immediately.

When the "Morning Breeze" electric car is ready for launch, the first model "Ice Power" will start shooting commercials, and Xie Bingran can be given an income in the name of shooting remuneration.

In addition, now that I have the Dongchen Advertising business, I may be able to help her get endorsements in the future.

……

……

Soon we lined up to board the plane.

I followed the team and slowly boarded the cabin, walking to the back of the economy class.

This is a "small plane" with only three seats on one side.

"There are only two of us in this row. I asked about it when I checked in."

"Ah."

Xie Bingran sat inside, while Xu Chen sat next to the aisle.

Both of them fastened their seat belts, and Xu Chen said:

"Go get some sleep later. You must not have gotten much sleep last night."

Xie Bingran responded lightly and said nothing.

The economy class was already cramped and crowded, and even though Xie Bingran was a girl, she still had trouble stretching her long legs.

The two of them sat next to each other, and in the small space, their arms touched each other from time to time.

Xie Bingran folded his hands in front of him, looking a little reserved.

"what happened?"

"No……"

Xu Chen smiled, took out a set of exercises from his bag, and said:

"I envy Brother Bing so much. He doesn't even have to take the college entrance exam. I still have to study hard!"

Xie Bingran turned around and glanced at Xu Chen:

"Then I won't bother you."

Xu Chen thought about it, but then stuffed the exercise book back into his schoolbag.

"You'd better quarrel with me. You waited for me all night, but you can't just watch me do the test."

He laughed again:
"The plane is too bumpy. I feel dizzy after reading for a while. Let me chat with you..."
