Chapter 02

A pair of eyes as deep as a secluded pool

After standing in the entrance for a moment, Xiao Yuhang turned around to close the door, locked it, changed her shoes, and entered the house. Due to weather and traffic conditions, her flight was delayed; she, who was originally scheduled to land at 5:00 PM, had been stranded outside for a full six hours and had just arrived home

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the Gu Du Hotel

I apologize, sir, but it has been more than 40 minutes since the scheduled departure time of the flight

Quickly, all passengers took their seats, the cabin door closed, and the aircraft was about to begin taxiing

Do you still need home delivery? The way you are in this relationship makes me feel like I need to get into the mood as well

She lay on the sofa, closing her eyes

Seeing that Lou Yilin was busy, Xiao Yuhang leaned over and took out a beautifully packaged box from behind the counter: "This one? I will turn on my phone as soon as I land and have him call me"

On the way, she called Su Yi to confirm that he was at the hotel, but a woman answered the phone, her voice disturbingly seductive. Citing a wrong number, she hung up, yet a sense of foreboding arose within her. Xiao Yuheng paused for a moment in contemplation, then made another call before instructing the driver: "Driver, please hurry, I am in a rush." She gazed thoughtfully out the window, unaware that the man in the front seat was observing her through the rearview mirror. Xiao Yuheng paused for a moment in contemplation, then made another call before instructing the driver: "Driver, please hurry, I am in a rush." She gazed thoughtfully out the window, unaware that the man in the front seat was observing her through the rearview mirror.

Her demeanor was gentle, yet her tone was firm and unassailable. The underdog was immediately provoked, shouting for the entire crew to be dismissed, and even emotionally exclaiming "Long live the passengers".

The man was clearly somewhat surprised, but the hint of astonishment in his eyes was quickly replaced by a sense of pride

Xiao Yuhang glanced at the meter and handed over the money, but the man gently yet firmly pushed her hand away, saying: "I will take care of it."

That night, Xiao Yuheng slept very restlessly. It was unclear whether the chill of the rainy night had drained her body of warmth, leaving her heart feeling cold, or if it was the sound of raindrops falling to the ground, resembling someone lightly tapping on a keyboard, that disturbed her sleep. When did the rain outside stop? Was that phone call real? Struggling in her dreams, she found it difficult to answer.

The check-in counter staff, Yilin, patiently explained: "I apologize, sir, it is not that I am unwilling to process your ticket transfer procedures, but rather that your flight has already departed." Turning to the left, she raised her hand to indicate: "Please proceed to the fourth floor to handle the transfer procedures."

The man raised his gaze, and his eyes met Xiao Yuhang's in the rearview mirror

exhausted

Do not be so polite. For the sake of your deep affection for him, I must personally deliver this 'gift' to him. Just think about how you will repay me." As she spoke, Xiao Yuhang was about to leave

Until a somewhat familiar, rude face appeared within her line of sight, her brows slightly furrowed

"Is it impossible for your logical thinking to accommodate a normal relationship between men and women?" Xiao Yuhang found himself at a loss with this girl who spoke without any reservations: "The flight was delayed again yesterday. Are you an employee of China Southern Airlines? You seem unaware of the flight status of the company."

This flight is clearly not going to be quiet. Xiao Yuhang controlled his temper: "Sir, using a mobile phone during the flight can interfere with the aircraft's communication, navigation, and control systems, posing a threat to flight safety. It is required by our country's civil aviation regulations that mobile phones must be turned off throughout the duration of the flight. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we appreciate your understanding"

Xiao Yuhang was not angry, and while walking, he declared: "When I return, I will chop off your hand"

But what does he mean by "good"? She became momentarily confused

The person who was extremely arrogant just a second ago suddenly softened. Centered around the underdog, there was a complete silence. Only the clear voice of a child calling out "Daddy" could be heard. Xiao Yuhang忍笑 and patted the little boy's head, gently reminding his mother: "Shall I get you a cup of water? It’s good for the child to drink a bit during takeoff and landing to prevent ear pressure."

The chief attendant could not stop his twisted madness. Just as he was about to report to the captain, a man who had been silent in the back row suddenly stood up and slapped him on the back of the head: "You better turn off your phone! Sitting on a plane, this guy is so arrogant. You idiot, people all over the world look down on you!"

You! The underdog was so furious that he was panting heavily, but after weighing the height difference that required him to look up to meet the other person's gaze, the raging anger was extinguished like a candle. Taking a step back opens up a vast horizon, but it also seemed too humiliating. "Don't think I'm afraid of you; I'm just considering the bigger picture! Hmph!"

Do you still want to join for dinner? Xiao Yuhang's eyes and brows were filled with dissatisfaction: "Aren't you afraid I might get carried away with the drinks and become all friendly with him?"

I am afraid he has said the same thing to every girl who has become his old calendar, especially since he does not seem like someone who takes love seriously, given his scoundrel appearance. Xiao Yuhang felt concerned about Lou Yilin's investment of energy and resources in this relationship, as evidenced by her innocent and unrepentant expression. She could only say, "Being too talkative will sooner or later become one of your reasons for assassinating me." This marked the end of the topic.

Ignoring the urging of the passengers waiting behind him, the man raised his voice: "How can I fly if I haven't boarded yet? What are you doing? Once the tickets are sold, do you just not care anymore?"

Initially, I was worried that the loser would cause trouble again, but as it turned out, everything went smoothly along the way

The chief attendant, puzzled, quietly inquired: "What is going on?"

He barely stopped in front of Xiao Yuhang and said in a threatening tone: "What was your name again, Xiao? I will remember you."

However, the plane did not wait for him, and he was very angry: "I am a VIP! Do you believe I will file a complaint against you?"

The man, oblivious to everything, continued to shout and curse. Xiao Yuhang had no choice but to repeat himself, only to hear the man impatiently respond: "Why should I turn off my phone? There are so many things to deal with, how can I turn it off? Your airline not only has a lot of issues, but the service is also poor! I clearly booked a first-class ticket, yet I was placed in economy class. Is a refund all that matters? Am I someone who is short on money?"

"What are you going to do about it? Not convinced? If you keep whining, I'll slap you across the ribs! Just shut it down!" A tall man rolled up his sleeves, clearly ready to take action

The chaotic thoughts persisted until dawn, and Xiao Yuhang was finally rescued from her dreams by a slight vibration. The first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to grab her phone and check the call log: there was indeed a call with him at twelve o'clock in the morning

When she came out again, she felt much more refreshed than before, but the discomfort in her body seemed to be more pronounced. She thought that if she could complete today's flight mission, she would be able to take three days off, so she gave up the idea of requesting leave

The sound of the wheeled suitcase dragging abruptly ceased, precisely landing on the other person's trailing tone: "First class has also taken off!"

Lou Yilin playfully slapped her cute bottom and said: "How about I offer myself to you?"

"It's just a short errand, coming back to deliver is still a gesture of goodwill, is it necessary to be so grand?" Xiao Yuhang has never appreciated her little whims, "I suggest you give him a heads-up, so I don't catch you in the act."

There have been many types of guests, but few have been as unreasonable as this. Xiao Yuhang's tone was slightly heavy: "I am not aware of the scale of your business, but as a crew member, I am only responsible for the safety of the passengers. Therefore, please choose one: either turn off your device or disembark."

Xiao Yuhang quickened her pace towards the flight preparation room. At the briefing, she familiarized herself with the flight information and began the pre-flight preparations. At exactly 8:00, the cabin crew arrived on the shuttle bus, and at 8:30, Xiao Yuhang adjusted her work state to its best, standing at the cabin door to greet the boarding passengers: "Good morning, welcome aboard"

The loser of a man was momentarily stunned after being hit, and when he regained his composure, he glared at him with a flushed face and a thick neck, saying: "Who are you? What right do you have to hit me?"

At last, laughter echoed through the cabin

Xiao Yuhang was in a daze for a long time before realizing that she had actually fallen asleep on the sofa until dawn, still in her uniform. When she got up, she inexplicably felt completely drained of energy. She tried to move her stiff waist and entered the bathroom

Indeed, he said that she did not know when to stop while ahead

Lou Yilin generously stated: "Sisters are like hands and feet, while men are like clothing. Who are we to each other? If you like it, feel free to wear it."

Not as good as a woman's response, the man next to her, speaking with a strong northeastern accent, boldly said: "It's fine, no need, my son is handling it."

The driver, not knowing which nerve had gone awry, naturally assumed that the two were together, said "Alright," and with a snap, pressed the meter and started the car

"Do you think I have never been on a plane? Threatening safety, who are you trying to scare? I simply won't turn off my phone; I have important business to discuss. Can you afford the consequences of any delays?"

Lou Yilin handed over her work to a colleague and came over to remind: "I have sent the hotel address to your phone, you can deliver it directly to him"

China Southern Airlines, Xiao Yuxing? The man snatched the boarding pass, glanced at it, and disdainfully tossed it back at her: "I will make you unemployed!"

Are you my sister? Didn't you know I had no work yesterday? Lou Yilin was too lazy to argue and directly began to scold her: "Is it my logical thinking that is abnormal, or is it you all who are abnormal? Indeed, if either of you were not insane, you would have achieved your goals long ago." Knowing that Xiao Yuhang has been feeling down lately, she did not dwell on this topic, saying, "Forget it, just make sure to rest as soon as you land. I'll have Su Yi go pick up your things."

"It’s no problem for you to show me your clothes, but if I touch them, I might lose my hand." Xiao Yuhang took the suitcase and said, "Do you have any other instructions, ancestor? Please don’t make me help you ask for a kiss to relieve your longing; if pushed too far, I won’t hold back."

Indeed, she has never been the type of person to remain impassive. Just like now, she still cannot learn to smile at those she dislikes

Xiao Yuhang did not say anything

Not far away, in front of check-in counter 16, stood a short and stout man who was shouting: "Why won't you process my paperwork? Can you take responsibility for wasting my time? Call your supervisor!"

At this moment, a mobile phone rang inside the cabin, and immediately after, a young man with a scruffy appearance shouted into his phone: "How many times have I told you, long-distance calls plus roaming are very expensive, don't call unless it's urgent. What? Are you out of your mind? Why would you even ask me about this..."

It was the chief attendant who called her to the restaurant for dinner. Thinking of the surprise for Lou Yilin, Xiao Yuheng quickly tidied herself up and took a gift before heading out. It was difficult to hail a taxi, and after much effort, she finally managed to flag down an empty car at the intersection. Xiao Yuheng opened the back door and got in, only to find that someone was already seated in the front passenger seat. The two of them spoke almost simultaneously: "Nanjing Road, Gu Du Hotel"

The man turned around in response, and what caught his eye was a face with delicate skin and understated makeup.

Xiao Yuhang raised her eyes to meet his gaze and corrected him: "Xiao Yuhang, not Xing. Thank you."

On a morning shrouded in light mist, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of jasmine, exuding a serene ambiance. Prepared and ready, Xiao Yuhang arrived at the airport in such damp and gentle weather. Dragging her wheeled suitcase into the terminal, she headed straight for the check-in counter. In her eagerness, her tall and slender figure gave off an impression of briskness.

Luo Yilin smiled radiantly: "You truly are the woman who has captured my heart the most." Taking the suitcase with one hand and linking his arm with hers, he said, "Since you are going to stay overnight at the venue today, if there is nothing else, why not accompany him for a meal as well."

Isn't this meant to give him a surprise

The airport ground staff arrived promptly, and amidst the passengers' accusations, the man was asked to leave, allowing the check-in counter to return to normal operations

The man raised his hand and slammed his documents on the counter: "I am in first class!"

The airplane arrived on time at City A

Lou Yilin said playfully, "Alright," noticing her dark circles and frowning, "What’s wrong with you? You look so sleep-deprived. Has Feng Jinxiao not vanished into thin air? Has he reappeared? Absence makes the heart grow fonder, huh? You two are in it for the long haul?" Finally, she smiled mischievously.

Xiao Yuhang, dressed in a flight attendant uniform, took out the boarding pass she carried with her, which also served as her work ID: "As you wish. However, please do not delay the other passengers in processing their boarding procedures, if you would be so kind, Mr. VIP"

You

As they were to spend the night outside, the shuttle bus took the crew members to the group hotel. Since it was still early, the colleagues made plans to go shopping. Xiao Yuheng stayed in the room to rest. Perhaps due to feeling unwell and the exhaustion from consecutive shifts, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, and when she was awakened by the phone, it was already late in the evening

"You are just biased against him." Lou Yilin did not take it to heart; instead, she sweetly said, "He said that my presence has a pivotal historical significance for him and will help me cultivate my mind and character."

Fate has brought us together in a narrow path. It turns out to be the loser who caused a scene in front of the check-in counter

He was seated in a position that was precisely under the responsibility of Xiao Yuhang. She hurried over to remind him: "Sir, the plane is about to take off, please conclude your call and turn off your phone as soon as possible"
