I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 608 The Meaning of Travel (3)

The roar of the plane's engines was as heavy and dull as ever. The window was surrounded by clouds and fog, and the hazy moonlight was obscured most of the time. This was the most common type of weather for international flights.

Even this flight was not unfamiliar to Chu Qingmian, but her mood was completely different from before.

Because the purpose was different, this time after the plane landed, there was no complicated and tedious work, nor any hypocritical interpersonal interactions. What was waiting for her was only a great whale watching trip!

Great glaciers! Great dolphins! Great minke whales humpback whales sperm whales beluga narwhals!!!

Although he looked like he was lying by the window in a daze, Chu Qingmian's thoughts had already drifted far away.

The plane's wings passed through the clouds, leaving an arc in the night sky.

Tens of thousands of feet above the sea, sperm whales are swimming freely, the tides are hitting the rocks, and the waves are like snow tonight.

Su Chengyi took out the travel brochure handed to him by the flight attendant, turned to the map page, and began to explain the general itinerary he had planned.

"If nothing goes wrong, we will depart from Akureyri, the northern capital, and Husavik, a whale watching destination, and head to Eyja, also known as Eyjafjörur and Skjalfandi Bay."

Chu Qingmian leaned on his shoulder, his eyes following the direction of his finger.

“We chose this route because it has a very high success rate for whale watching. Even though it is winter now, the probability of seeing whales is still very high.

In addition, there are fewer tourists in this season than in summer, and the glacier landscape is also very unique.”

Su Chengyi closed the map and looked sideways at her.

"So, with the right time, right place and right people, now is the best time."

"Great!!!"

Chu Qingmian curved his eyes and smiled, then waved a corner of the blanket in his hand.

"Iceland was chosen because it is the first place that most people think of when talking about whale watching. The earliest whale culture can be traced back to the Norwegian Kings during the reign of Olaf Tryggvason."

Su Chengyi stuffed the travel brochure in his hand into the bag in front of him, propped up his chin, and repeated it from memory.

"Once upon a time, there was a very cruel king named Harald Bluetooth. He planned to invade Iceland and ordered a wizard who used whale divination to predict the island's weaknesses.

However, when the king's army was about to land, they were blocked by the dragon monster in the east, the griffin beast in the north, the bull in the west and the mountain god in the south. In the end, all these forced him to give up landing, and the invasion plan of course failed completely. "

"But, isn't the whale in this story an accomplice of the villain?"

Chu Qingmian, who always listened to stories very seriously, couldn't help but raise his hand to ask a question.

"Well, the version I read may have some problems with the translation. But I think, maybe the whale gave the divination wizard the wrong guidance, which led to the whale encountering various obstacles from the beasts?"

Su Chengyi thought about it and answered like this.

“That seems to make sense!”

Chu Qingmian nodded with satisfaction, approving this answer.

"Now that we have finished our bedtime story, let's take advantage of the time and get some sleep."

Su Chengyi reached out and turned off the lights above their heads with a "click".

As if he had heard some dormitory students’ reminder to turn off the lights, Chu Qingmian soon felt himself being swept over by drowsiness.

Because it was a long-distance flight, Su Chengyi booked a first-class ticket with relatively spacious seats.

Miss Chu usually looks graceful when she wears a dress, but now she has huddled down in the seat, leaving only a small ball, wrapped in a blanket like a Russian doll, and looks extremely adorable.

"Sleepy."

She snuggled into Su Chengyi's arms and said in a daze.

Su Chengyi nodded and tucked in the edges of the blanket for her.

"Have a good sleep."

At this moment, he thought of his graduation trip.

In order to take Mu Tou's feelings into consideration and adhering to the spirit of "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger", several people bought hard seat tickets for two days and two nights.

I had thought Miss Chu would be the one who couldn't stand it the most, but I didn't expect her to be so cheerful along the way, without any bad mood at all.

It totally does not fit the stereotype of the pampered young lady.

Su Chengyi thought so and couldn't help but poke her cheek.

Chu Qingmian didn't open his eyes, but just rubbed his palm and murmured:

"Quarrel."

"Ok?"

Su Chengyi moved closer and asked with his head down.

“The planes are noisy.”

The eldest lady, who was so sleepy that she was a little unconscious, said aggrievedly.

"Then let the plane stop here for a while and we'll go down first."

Su Chengyi held back his laughter and spoke slowly.

"No, we need to see whales."

Chu Qingmian shook his head and refused very firmly.

Su Chengyi chuckled, took out a pair of white wired headphones from his pocket, stuffed them into her ears along the edge of the blanket, and put the other ear on himself.

On a long-distance flight like this, when there is no network, the music cached offline in the phone is the last hope.

Su Chengyi didn't remember what songs he had downloaded, so he directly pressed the play button through the headphone's wired control interface.

It feels like opening a blind box of music.

The song playing in the headphones was "When Winter Nights Warm Up" by the "unpopular singer" Stefanie Sun.

"When the winter nights grow warmer
When the sea is no longer so blue

When the pure white of the moon turns dark
That just represents

Happiness is no longer that simple

When youth also vanishes into thin air

When beautiful stories have regrets
That's just the habit of taking love as like

The important thing is
How did we love that time?

The weather in Iceland is not actually as cold as its name suggests.

This was Su Chengyi's first reaction after walking out of the airport, so he subconsciously began to think about the reasons.

Perhaps it's some kind of academic genius DNA that's at work.

"It is probably due to the Gulf Stream flowing through the west and south of Iceland, as well as its special geographical location, located between two major geological plates, frequent geological activities and abundant geothermal energy, which can also explain why Iceland has many natural volcanoes, hot springs and other landscapes."

After completing the inference, Su Chengyi wrapped himself in his coat and calmed down his thoughts.

"Manhun, Manhun, are you done, classmate Su Chengyi? If someone didn't know you, they would think you were doing a geography essay question here!"

Chu Qingmian grumbled a few times and carefully wrapped a scarf around him.

"Although the temperature doesn't seem that cold, it might be windy soon. The last time I came here, I waited a few minutes longer at the hotel entrance and was so windy that I was stunned and my face was stiff!"

"it is good."

Su Chengyi lowered his head and cooperated with her movements. This Burberry cashmere scarf, a new model for this winter, was Miss Chu's favorite style.

"Let's go, let's go to the other side and get a taxi."

Chu Qingmian shivered. She was very afraid of the cold, and her little tiger teeth were trembling in the cold wind.

"No, I called a taxi in advance."

Unexpectedly, Su Chengyi leaned lazily on the edge of the platform and waved to the SUV on the other side.

"Huh? When did you call? Did you make an appointment with a tour guide in advance? So smart!"

Chu Qingmian blinked and poked his lower back with his finger. "Next time, let me handle this kind of thing. Forcing a social phobia to work will be a punishment from heaven!"

"The good news is that this incident did not trigger my social phobia."

Su Chengyi curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the marks left by the off-road vehicle's tires on the ground.

"Dudu."

The driver honked the horn twice, and then the passenger window was rolled down.

"."

Miss Chu felt messy and silent in the wind.

"Uncle Gao?! Butler Han?!"

Uncle Gao in the driver's seat was still wearing his 007 sunglasses, but he had changed into camouflage casual clothes. He looked relaxed and contented, probably recalling his glorious years in the special forces.

Butler Han, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also took off his tuxedo that seemed to be welded to his body and put on a windbreaker. His hair was no longer shiny and slicked back. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, it was still obvious that he was very excited.

"Miss!"

Chu Qingmian took a deep breath and wondered who could tell her whether she was in Iceland or somewhere else, and why she was still seeing these people from China.

Chu Qingmian had not yet recovered from the shock, but Su Chengyi on the other side seemed to be prepared. He walked slowly to the back seat and knocked on the window to signal.

Uncle Gao in the front seat quickly understood what he meant and immediately lowered the back window as well.

Then, the next second, a furry calico dog's head popped out.

"Wang!"

"."

Chu Qingmian held his forehead, feeling that the current reality was a little beyond his cognition.

Although I haven't gotten on the car yet, I already feel a little carsick, or maybe I haven't woken up from the nap I just took on the plane.

So the two people and the dog squeezed into the back seat of the car.

Fortunately, this is an off-road vehicle with a spacious interior, otherwise it would not be easy to accommodate this huge black bear.

Miss Chu pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help but cursed:
"No, you three are pretending to be cool! Can someone explain what's going on? And Furui, do you want to squeeze your sister to death?!"

"Miss, this is the situation"

In the end, it was Butler Han, who was always in charge of interpersonal relationships, who spoke first. He touched his hair somewhat uncomfortably.

"Uncle Chu thought the current situation was rather special and was worried about us traveling so far to play alone, so he sent them to accompany us so they could take care of us on the way."

Su Chengyi answered as if nothing had happened while grabbing Fu Rui's paw and shaking hands with him.

"."

Chu Qingmian was silent for a while, looking somewhat helpless.

"Please, is there a possibility that we are safe because we have traveled so far? According to the current situation, staying in the country is the most unsafe."

"Who knows."

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows and did not comment.

"Well, it's understandable that Uncle Gao is here, after all, he's a bodyguard. What about Butler Han? He looks even weaker than me, and he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken!!"

Having said that, Chu Qingmian couldn't help but knock on the back of the passenger seat.

Butler Han straightened his back immediately, raised his hands and said, feeling wronged:
"Miss, although I can't be a bodyguard, I am more than qualified to be a translator, assistant, nanny, etc.! The gentleman wants me to accompany you so that I can take care of your daily life and improve the quality of your trip, so that this journey will be perfect without any mistakes. What's more, we have a dog here! It took me a lot of effort to handle the procedures for its going abroad!"

His self-confession was extremely sincere, and every word he said was from the heart.

But it was obviously impossible to dispel the suspicion of his young lady. Chu Qingmian narrowed his eyes dangerously and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Uncle Han, you...did you receive an order from my father to come and monitor us?"

"how can that be possible!"

Butler Han, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately sat up straight, raised his hands with a sad face, and showed a gesture of surrender.

"That's my mother's order!"

"No miss, I am innocent!"

"That's Grandma's!"

"no!"

"Grandpa and grandma!"

"I beg you, miss, please let me go."

After Miss Chu's chaotic investigation and questioning, Butler Han still argued and claimed that he was innocent.

Su Chengyi played with the dog in the back seat for a while and couldn't help interrupting:

"You two should calm down a bit. I feel like the big guy on duty on the other side is about to pull out his gun and question us."

He originally said this as a joke, but Uncle Gao, who had been silent in the driver's seat, nodded slowly.

"Ah."

For a moment, the whole car was quiet.

Chu Qingmian sat back in his seat and said with a cough:
"Okay, Uncle Han, you tell the truth yourself! You must have a mission here, and it's not too late to confess now! I'll ask again, soldier, who do you work for?"

"Miss."

Butler Han's hair was pulled into a mess by her, and he looked very embarrassed with a bitter face.

"Answer me, soldier!"

Chu Qingmian didn't buy it and insisted on trusting his own intuition.

Su Chengyi thought about it and decided to trust the eldest lady at this moment.

After all, she has been fighting wits and courage with her family since she was a child, so she must have rich experience in fighting.

Sure enough, after a stalemate, Butler Han, who had originally been very determined, was defeated helplessly.

"Okay Miss, I was indeed sent by the gentleman, and he wants me to report to him in detail your itinerary for the next three days."

"I knew it!!!"

Miss Chu raised her eyebrows and glared at him.

"You are a big spy who is collaborating with the enemy and betraying your country!"

"I am innocent, Miss!"

Butler Han held his head and continued to try to defend himself:
"The reason why the gentleman made this arrangement was only for the safety of the young lady and the young master! He said that privacy issues do not need to be involved!"

"I don't believe it! What's going on with this big fat dog?"

Chu Qingmian hugged Fu Rui's head and asked aggressively.

"It was Master Su's idea to bring the big fat dog!"

Butler Han quickly betrayed Su Chengyi, who was watching the show with his hands in his pockets on the other side.

The latter clenched his fingers into a fist, coughed awkwardly, and said slowly:

"This is a rare opportunity. I want to take Fury back to his hometown in Northern Europe to have a look."

"."

Although this reason is outrageous, it seems to make some sense.

What's more, since it was Su Chengyi who said it, it is easier to understand.

——Anyway, all the science guys who are good at studying are like this.
