'SEE YOU MORNING' 020 Journey-2nd
Li Haojun laughed and glanced at Kesiya, silently wondering why she did not stop this outspoken girl. Kesiya did not catch his hint and simply smiled, watching their conversation with amusement.
“哈哈哈，”李皓珺笑着看了一眼凯西娅，心想你怎么不拦着这个小疯婆子。凯西娅并没有领会他的意思，就是笑着看他俩的热闹。
"She is truly charming. I believe many people would be captivated by her."
“她确实很迷人，我想很多人都会着迷的。”
"But you are not one of those who will pursue her, are you?" Malaya continued to question.
“但是你不会是追求她的那个人，是吗？” 玛莱雅又追问，
"No, I will not. Life is full of choices. One has to weigh the costs and gains of each option. You cannot chase everything you desire. You must focus your energy on making the most important goals a success."
“嗯，不会，人生之中有很多选择，你要评估选择的成本和收益，所以你不能去做所有你想做的事情，你只能集中精力把最想要的事情做成功。”
"But you do love her, don’t you?"
“但是，你爱她，是吗？”
"Very well, yes. At least physically, I do." Cornered by her persistent questioning, Li Haojun gave a straightforward answer. Malaya brought up many private topics. Such behavior would be unusual for adults, but children often speak their minds freely. To spare her embarrassment, Li Haojun joked with her.
“好吧，是的，至少生理上是这样的。” 李皓珺被追问得无处遁形，只好直接回答。玛莱雅询问了很多个人隐私的话题，可能对于成年人来说不会这样做，但是对于一个孩子，童言无忌。为了她不至于尴尬，李皓珺便开玩笑问她，
"Will knowing all this help you with your work?"
“这样了解我之后，是不是会对你的工作有帮助？”
"Yes, it will," Malaya replied with a bright smile.
“是啊，”玛莱雅看着李皓珺，脸上露出了笑容。
The pleasant flight passed quickly. The plane landed at the airport near Spokane. Li Haojun took an air taxi booked by Malaya to head home, while Kesiya and Malaya stayed behind in Spokane.
愉快的时光很快，飞机降落在了斯波坎旁的机场，李皓珺乘坐玛莱雅为他订好的空中出租车回家，凯西娅和玛莱雅一同去了斯波坎。
Night had fallen deeply. From high above, the stars shone brightly across the sky. Li Haojun opened the side vent a little to breathe in the cool night breeze. There was no moonlight, and the fields stretched out in complete darkness, dotted only by the lights of occasional vehicles on the roads and warning lamps on landmark buildings.
似乎夜色已深，高空中更好的视野可以看到更多的繁星，李皓珺略微敞开侧窗的通风口，呼吸清凉的晚风。没有月色，田野大地一片漆黑，只有零星路上的车辆，地标建筑的防撞灯。
What was Qin Wenjing doing at this moment? Li Haojun wondered to himself. The monotonous hum of the motor and the whir of rotor blades made the journey feel endless.
覃文静这时在做什么呢？李皓珺心里默念，单调而乏味的电机噪音，还有桨叶切割空气的噪音，让这种等待尤其显得绵长。
He was expected to arrive around eleven o’clock. Not wanting to disturb her rest, he arranged for the air taxi to land a good distance away from the residence.
预计到达时间可能要十一点了，为了不打扰她休息，李皓珺特意把降落地点远离了住宅。
He saw that all the lights in the house were out from afar. Walking along the road in the night wind, he quickened his pace. The stars hung high in the sky, yet the road and the area ahead remained dim.
远远地看见所有灯光已经熄灭了，沿着公路吹着晚风，李皓珺加快脚步，星辰高照，路面与前方依然光线暗淡。
He stepped into the familiar courtyard and peered through the living room window. For a moment, he felt as if he had traveled through time. Nerves fluttered inside him. Was the person he cared about here?
走进那熟悉的庭院，透过客厅玻璃可以看到室内，忽然有种穿越时空的错觉。不知为何，李皓珺内心不由有些紧张，那个心中牵挂的人在吗？
He walked into the dim, empty living room. Looking toward her bedroom, he saw the door was ajar. Li Haojun took off his coat and tossed it aside, then stepped into her room.
走进客厅，暗淡而空洞。眼望她的卧室，门虚掩着，李皓珺脱掉外衣扔在了客厅，走进她的房间。
There she was, lying on her side on the bed with her back to the door. The curve of her figure was deeply familiar to him. He climbed onto the bed gently and lay down behind her, wrapping his right arm around her waist. He breathed in her familiar scent amid her long hair. The steady rise and fall of her breathing told him she was fast asleep. When morning came, she would be by his side once again.
是她，侧卧在床上，背对房门，隐约她的身体曲线李皓珺是那么的熟悉。轻轻爬上床，躺在她身后，右手搂着她的腰。在她的长发里，李皓珺寻找着她熟悉的气息。起伏的呼吸，证明她还在这里，只要等到明早，就又是那个熟悉的她陪伴自己。
