Chapter 52: First Arrival in Pontianak (1)
Gao Jianliang felt relieved and didn't say anything more.
Xie Kai said again: "You haven't answered me yet? Will you do such a thing in the future?"
Gao Jianliang looked at him and said with a raised mouth: "Then you have to trust me, and I promise to take me back."
Xie Kai said with a sigh: "Is this still necessary? Put your hand out."
Gao Jianliang said, "Why do you need to stretch out your hand again?" Even though he said this, he still obediently stretched out his hand.
Xie Kai slapped her palm: "Document."
Gao Jianliang lowered his head and laughed, feeling that he had defeated.

Five hours later, the plane arrived at Pontianak Airport. The two ended their first long time since they met, but this was not the end. There was still a longer time to spend waiting for them.
It was evening, the sun was bright and the tropical sunshine was trying to emit the last heat of the day.
This heat is different from any part of the country. It is not the violent heat in the north, the stuffy heat in the inland, or the humid heat in the south, but the sticky hot flash. It feels very uncomfortable to stick to it. Even Gao Jianliang, who has lived in subtropical Hong Kong for fifteen years, frowned.
Xie Kai laughed and said, "Don't frown, you should feel lucky. It's September now, the last month before the rainy season. If you want to be later, you will know how annoying the rain is."
Gao Jianliang said seriously: "Stop showing off, we have arrived. You can't speak Mandarin anymore. You are easily suspected. From now on, you must speak Cantonese and you will say as much as you want."
Xie Kai said confidently: "Don't worry, don't speak Cantonese, I can do Minnan dialect and Hakka dialect, I'm familiar with it."
Gao Jianliang did not admire him this time, but said, "Then why do you still speak Mandarin all day long?"
Xie Kai said: "I have been speaking Mandarin since I was a child, why can't I speak? I can understand what you say and you can understand what I say. Isn't that enough?"
Gao Jianliang said, "Do you understand when you go to the countryside and follow the customs? Many people in Hong Kong are from outside, and no one cares where you come from. The fellow countrymen just add a sense of intimacy, but everyone hopes that you are your own people. Only you will live for so long and you will be divided into us."
This sentence revealed Xie Kai's current mentality in one sentence and said awkwardly: "At least I never treat you as an outsider."
Gao Jianliang said, "So what? You never regard Hong Kong as your home, you always have the mentality of being a guest, as if you are a bystander and watch the fun every day. More importantly, not only do you not think that this is wrong, but you are complacent and think that you are the smartest one. Others are confused. If you keep doing this, how can others agree with you?"
Xie Kai was increasingly embarrassed and said, "Just talk about the issue of speaking. When did you understand me so much?"
Gao Jianliang stopped and walked: "Since the first time I met, I have seen through you. Now I tell you that I just care about you."
Xie Kai said: "Why are you only caring about me now?"
Gao Jianliang said angrily: "Because you have to follow me to make trouble, and you still protect me, but you are not even considered your own people. How can I believe you when life and death are at stake?" After that, he left again.
Xie Kai thought it was not unreasonable, and said to the past: "Ok, I accept your suggestions and start changing from you."
Gao Jianliang sighed: "I hope you do what you say and don't protect me, but harm me."
Xie Kai said, "That certainly won't." He smiled and said, "Now I'm finally my own person, right?"
Gao Jianliang said angrily: "Who cares about you?" He glanced at him and continued to speed up.
