Ten days later, Wang Rui and I boarded a flight to the German capital.

This was the first time I'd been on a plane, let alone left the country, and I was a little excited. Wang Rui sat next to me, and I chose the window seat because I wanted to experience the feeling of the plane breaking through the blue sky and white clouds.

As soon as I got on the plane, I kept staring outside, completely ignoring Wang Rui next to me. After a while, she couldn't hold back any longer and said, "If you don't talk to me, I'll throw you out."

"It's my first time on a plane," I said honestly.

"Don't be like a child. You'll get used to it after a few more flights."

"I didn't expect to dedicate my first time to Germany," I replied with emotion.

"It's not like you're still a virgin either," Wang Rui said without any hesitation about the private affairs between men.

"How do you know I'm not?"

"You have a face that brings trouble. No one would believe it if you said that."

"Thank you for praising me in this way."

"Have you thought about what you want to say when you see Youxiang?"

"Hi!" I raised the corners of my mouth slightly, deliberately making a silly face.

To be honest, I don't know what the scene will be like when we meet. I'm not particularly excited. I've never met him before, so where would the feeling come from? If we had grown up together and then separated, then there might be some anticipation, so Wang Rui's question was completely unnecessary.

At this time, the cabin gradually quieted down, and Wang Rui was also getting ready to rest. I turned my body and stared out the window, consciously trying to experience the feeling of floating in the air. In my opinion, the feeling was no different from taking the high-speed train, just that one was on the ground and the other in the sky, using the plane's gravity.

......

I don't know when the plane started to descend. Wang Rui woke me up with a nudge. She was already getting up to get her luggage. I was very dissatisfied with her behavior.

"You should have woken me up earlier. Did you want to abandon me?"

"I called you several times. You were sleeping like a pig."

I stood up and straightened my clothes. The passengers had already started to move forward one after another. Wang Rui and I followed behind. The luggage was simple, just a small suitcase. Wang Rui, on the other hand, was carrying an extra-large suitcase filled with things for Youxiang, full of love that had traveled across the ocean, mostly from my mom and Old Wang. I reached out and exchanged one with her.

While waiting for the luggage, Wang Rui simply walked outside and told me as she turned her head: "Bring the luggage with you. I'll wait for you outside."

"Go ahead...go ahead..."

I understand that she has a good relationship with Youxiang. Logically speaking, Youxiang is the bond between the three of us, but in fact, the relationship between me and Youxiang will have to be guided and introduced by Wang Rui, who has no blood relationship with me.

I pulled out the large and small suitcases and went out. I saw two people standing next to Wang Rui, one of whom was the legendary half-brother, and the other was a girl who looked very young.

Suddenly, Youxiang took a big step forward and called out softly, "Brother."

This heartfelt address caught me a little off guard, because the person in front of me was different from Lin Yang. Lin Yang used to call me without any emotion. For him, it was just a form of address.

I just grinned and smiled. The person was more vibrant than in the photos. His skin wasn't as white as I imagined. His sturdy physique seemed full of energy. He wore glasses on the bridge of his nose, but he wasn't as refined as Lin Yang from the outside. They could be said to be two completely different styles.

While I was analyzing, another voice came: "Hai, hello!"

It was Youxiang's girlfriend who spoke, appearing generous and composed, without any of the shyness of a first meeting. Although her Chinese was awkward, and she only said the simplest greetings, in a sense, her behavior naturally brought closer a relationship that was originally unfamiliar.

"What's wrong with you? Weren't you eloquent in front of me? Why have you suddenly become mute?" Wang Rui's poisonous tongue didn't take into account that I was still in the process of adapting.

Youxiang began to introduce with tact: "Brother, this is my girlfriend. I gave her a Chinese name, Wang Xin, so it's easier to pronounce."

"Well, it's easy to remember. Your sister has three hearts, and she has one heart." I was also infected with a lot of friendliness.

"So my sister is a fickle person when it comes to relationships."

Youxiang's joke suddenly made me relax. Although I didn't laugh out loud as usual and kept holding it back, I had a smile on my face at this time.

I put away my smile and said to Wang Xin, "My name is Lin Che. I can't speak English."

I saw that Wang Xin only understood a little. Wang Rui immediately translated for her in English. Seeing this situation, I found a balance point. Because my English was bad, it was just right to compete with Wang Xin. If I wanted to express something, the two of them would be the ones who were tired.

Youxiang pushed the two suitcases ahead by himself. I wanted to take them, but he stopped me, showing a very independent style. He walked very fast, so I simply walked at the back. Wang Rui and Wang Xin walked side by side in the middle, and laughter entered my ears from time to time. That hearty personality is like a universal match, she is Wang Rui!

The car that came to pick us up was a local German car. I watched Youxiang open the trunk, lift with both hands, and the huge suitcases were as light as a feather in his hands. He threw them in one by one, and the smooth movements added to the man's boldness.

I sat directly in the front passenger seat. After getting in the car, I stared intently outside. I felt that different countries would bring a sense of freshness.

"Brother, Mom said that you're working at a restaurant now," Youxiang suddenly asked me.

"Yeah, I just happened to be unemployed, so I'm doing it for now."

"Do you also have ulterior motives like my sister?"

"Your sister already has a boyfriend. She should be wholeheartedly devoted this time."

"Sister, you have a boyfriend?"

"We're just dating for now. We'll see how he performs," Wang Rui replied confidently.

"Don't do that. I'd be embarrassed. My mom said that my brother is also single, and you're also single. She's worried to death."

With a "smack," Wang Rui reached out and gently patted the back of Youxiang's head and said, "Don't be smug. You've only been dating for a short time. You don't know when you'll break up."

"Don't worry, we won't break up. Either Wang Xin will come back to China with me, or I'll stay here. We've already pledged our love until death anyway."

Listening to Youxiang's tone, this should be what a boy's love should look like, but I don't seem to have ever had this feeling.

I suddenly thought of Pei Shi Yu. I wonder if she's in Germany. Perhaps because I'm in a foreign country, I took out my phone and sent her a text message: "Are you in Germany?"

She replied in about a minute: "In Italy, what's wrong?"

It's hard to answer her "what's wrong." If she were in Germany, I might be able to find an excuse to ask her to come out for a gathering. Although I know that Europe is small, going from one country to another might be the distance of crossing a province in our country, but in a completely unfamiliar environment, even the smallest distance is a little scary.
