Soon Xue and her group were sitting on the same row, in the first class zone. Cheng Feng glared at the unwelcomed " friends ", when he saw that the seats were next his, he knew that this wasn't a coincidence. Definitely not. On the other hand Xue was chatting with Mei Lin, he was sitting on the window spot. Though he didn't really like the current situation, he was a bit relieved to see her relax around her stylist. Before departing he worried that she may feel like out of place, since there would be only the two of them alone.
" Dear passengers, please tie your seatbelts, the flight will start in ten minutes ", a fuzzy voice announced through the plane's speakers. A row of flight attendants walked in, slowing down at the center of the hallway. They started to show the regular instructions of the emergency cases and their items.
A few moments later, a low rumble was heard, as the entire place trembled, Xue felt his stomach churning, it wasn't really a great sensation. He noticed her expression and tapped lightly on her shoulders, " You alright ? ", she inhaled a deep breath, " I think yes ? ". " Here ", he passed her a small package, it was a juice brick, it was bright orange. Xue picked the straw and poked it down, a fresh and frizzy liquid danced in her mouth, giving a pleasant sensation of coldness. It was tasty, she leaned back on her seat, forgetting her worry from before. " Thank you ", she smiled at him, he nodded and leaned back too, closing his eyes.
Since she wasn't next to the window, she could only sleep, in fact it was almost nighttime. And even if she wanted, the hostess shut all of them. Later, a metallic chart was pushed in, the personnel quickly set up the table and placed the covered trays, " Enjoy the meal ", and they left quietly as they came. Her husband and Ye Huang gave no reaction, while Dr Jun and Mrs. Yu thanked them. She looked at the dishes, she was curious, they even left a bucket with a red bottle in and wine glasses. It was just a dinner, but the food was quite fancy, maybe this was the power of the first class seat. She cut the steak, the meat was cooked medium rare, so no trace of blood could be seen. She dipped it in the sauce and bit on it. But she was immediately disappointed, the taste… It was strange, even fragrance didn't waft outwards when she lifted the lid. But the texture seemed nice. A chuckle escaped from Lei Feng, " Your taste buds are being affected by the current situation, during the flight there're a few things that can influence the taste, air pressure and humidity. That's why the meat has a different flavor ", " Oh, that's why… ", Xue was feeling a bit down, her appetite greatly diminished. She loved to taste each food and their aroma, without them, her stomach wasn't stimulated. She didn't feel the hunger at all, " C'mon, take a few more bites, the flight will end after nine hours, so you can sleep after dinner ", Mei urged her. The latter clearly saw the downcast face of this foodie, but if she didn't put something in her stomach, her body was bound to have a few ' reactions ' for sure. After finishing half of it, she went to the bathroom to wash and get ready to sleep. She tapped on the icon of a bedlike figure and the seat rolled back, it became a bed just like that. The only thing was that, since her spot was booked together with his husband, now she had a double bed. There was no partition between them, she could only hope to not roll on his side or do something stupid. She laid on her hip while facing him, he was facing in the same direction as her, so she had a nice view of his back. She exhaled a relieved sigh, luckily he wasn't looking in her way, or she might pass a sleepless night. She wasn't used to sleeping so near to him, the only time was on their wedding night. After that they slept in their own room.
The other side a pair of amused eyes were watching the pair's movement, ' My poor muse, you'll have to bear this blockhead for a year, good look ', she prayed silently, then rolled on the other side. What she saw left her with a raised brow.
Her bratty brother was tucking Lei Feng's blanket, a trace of gentleness could be seen in his wild eyes. As he sensed something he rolled and fixed his gaze on her. " What are you looking at ? ", she smirked, " dear little brother, I hope it's not what I'm thinking, or it'll shake our Lei Lei ". He gnashed his teeth, clearly angered, " It's none of your concern and don't call him like that ". He rolled again, the doc was facing the window too and he was already asleep, so he didn't hear any of their bickering. Bright yellow eyes were fixed on his back, then they closed.
Mrs. Yu shook her head, so childish, she laid on her back and went to sleep as well. It was a tiring day for everyone after all.
A few sections forward, a group was here as well. but one person wasn't sleeping, she was holding on her phone typing something, " Dear passenger, you can't use the phone on flight, please turn it off ", a hostess saw that girl, she was irritated inwardly. She and her colleagues already admonished her at least five times, but she was still holding that phone. Fei Li furrowed her brow, clearly furious, " I got it, got it, tch ", after that she turned it off and stuffed it under the pillow. She was frustrated as she was waiting for further instruction from madam Zhang, she got the location and hotel, but not the numbers of the suites, and also, at the airport half of her ' items ' were checked and confiscated, they were labeled as illegal to take on travels. Thanks to this little scene, everyone at the airport looked at her as if she was some crazy woman who dealt with shady things. She scrolled off their gazes and just proceeded to go to the next checkpoints with her group.
And now she was finally on board, but she was complaining about how awful the food was, and she didn't even catch a glimpse of that ugly monster. But she was sure to meet her tomorrow.
