The scheduled flight time for the plane to Vancouver was eight-thirty in the morning. An Luo reached the airport, texted An Ze, then immediately went through the security check and sat at the boarding gate to wait.
There were many foreigners at the international flight gate waiting area and some young people were sitting beside An Luo speaking softly in French. They had probably come for a vacation and were heading home, their expressions very cheerful.
An Luo had lived in Canada for a few years. In the beginning, there were mainly immigrants from England and France. This had led to the opposition between the English and French culture, English and French being Canada's most commonly used languages. An Luo's English was very good, but he did not understand French at all. Hearing people beside him conversing happily in French, An Luo felt at a loss.
But it didn't matter. Compared to other countries, Canada was the easiest place for An Luo to get used to.
More than ten minutes left before boarding the plane, An Luo was bored and took out his phone to read the news. Turning on the screen, an unread message popped up from An Ze with four words, "Have a pleasant journey."
Like himself, he didn't say see you again, and was not long-winded, only using the simplest shortest words for the final farewell.
This was good.
A simple farewell, then the end.
Finally, he could think like when he was just reborn and start afresh, start a peaceful life. Just that An Luo did not know why, even on the verge of fulfilling his wish, was he unable to feel happy about it?
An Luo looked at the text message silently for a long time, but finally did not reply. He was about to switch off his phone when it suddenly rang with a call from An Yang.
An Luo picked up the phone and heard An Yang's impatient voice, "An Luo, where are you?"
He seemed to be calling from a street, his surroundings sounded noisy. An Luo frowned and said softly, "I'm at the airport."
"What? Airport?! You can't leave now, An Luo..."
"All passengers, please note that Flight CA1206 to Vancouver is now boarding. Please bring your belongings with you and board the plane at gate A7. I wish you a pleasant trip."
There was a sudden announcement to board the plane. An Luo took the phone away from his ear and looked at the clock. It was already 8:30 which was the time to board the plane, and the surrounding passengers got up and went to the registration line to queue.
An Luo brought the phone back to his ear and softly said, "Sorry An Yang. I've already decided to go abroad and start a new life. Everything here has nothing to do with me."
"An Luo..."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please..."
The announcement was repeated in English and An Luo didn't hesitate again. He hung up the phone and carrying his suitcase, walked towards the boarding area.
After entering the plane, An Luo looked for his seat, stowed his hand-carry suitcase and sat down, carefully buckling his safety belt. The surrounding gradually filled with passengers, and a beautiful flight attendant started to check the seats. An Luo turned on his phone and saw three missed called from An Yang. The flight attendant happened to walk past An Luo's seat and smiled, saying, "Sir, the plane will be taking off soon. Please turn off your phone."
An Luo nodded, then turned the phone off and put it into his pocket. Since he had made the decision to leave, he shouldn't be sloppy. An Yang's call was probably just to request for him to help the police. In this city, nobody sincerely wanted him to stay.
