CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 614: ARRIVAL, LATE OR EARLY

After finishing lunch, Jiang Lingxi got up and went to the bathroom.

When she came back, she saw Shen Yunqing holding a quick-drying pen provided by the airplane, with an open notebook spread out on the small table, writing something seriously.

Unable to resist her curiosity, she asked, "What are you writing?"

The next second, the notebook was handed over in front of her.

On the left blank page, three math problems were neatly listed. Just one glance was enough to determine that they were a bit difficult for her current level.

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

Seriously?

"Are these for me?"

"Yes, I saw that you were a bit bored. Doing this can pass the time, and if you get tired of thinking, you can even take a nap."

Jiang Lingxi: "... Thank you so much for understanding me!"

Knowing that apart from proper rest times, she generally finds it hard to fall asleep, especially now with so many passengers around. Unless she’s truly mentally exhausted, it’s hard for her to enter a state of light sleep.

"You’re welcome."

Jiang Lingxi returned to her seat dejectedly with the notebook, which was basically a sleep-inducing artifact, opened up the page with the problems, and after reading the questions carefully, began drafting answers on the blank pages behind.

Gu Qiantong couldn’t help but shift her gaze from the movie that had just started playing, frowning as she looked at the two people sitting in front of her.

What’s going on? Writing and chatting?

Forcing herself to suppress the urge to change seats, she focused her attention back on the movie, only to see some action in front of her again.

A hand stretched out from the seat in front and waved, and she saw Shen Yunqing leave his seat and go to Jiang Lingxi.

Sitting upright at once, after a while, seeing that he hadn’t left, her face turned rather ugly.

She pursed her lips, took off her headphones, and in a somewhat self-sabotaging manner, leaned slightly forward, wanting to hear what those two were doing squeezed into one seat!

The seat in front.

Jiang Lingxi was tilting her head watching Teacher Shen, who had transformed once again, correct her answers.

"You skipped two steps again."

She retorted, "Actually, I went through those two steps in my mind." In other words, she just didn’t write them down.

"Make sure not to skip next time. This time I won’t deduct points."

"And the result?"

"It’s correct."

...

Gu Qiantong’s expression gradually turned bewildered.

What on earth is going on?

After finishing three moderately difficult problems, about an hour had passed.

Jiang Lingxi closed the notebook in her hand, folded up the small table, adjusted her seat to lie flat, and rubbed her temples, "I’m actually a bit tired; I’ll take a nap."

Shen Yunqing saw this but didn’t expose her, turned around, and opened up the blanket in the compartment to cover the person beside him, "Sleep."

Jiang Lingxi glanced at him, snuggled into the blanket, and closed her eyes.

Shen Yunqing got up quietly and walked out.

Once back in his seat, he looked towards Gu Qiantong sitting behind him, aligning with her rather complicated expression.

"You..."

"Shh!"

Gu Qiantong watched the rising partition and swallowed her words with complex emotions.

With someone familiar beside her, Jiang Lingxi’s nap was rather peaceful, waking up later than she expected.

She woke just in time to see the stewardess distributing hot water and drinks along the seats, she asked for a cup of warm water, and after drinking it, felt completely awake.

When she looked at the time, it was still before five in the afternoon.

Only halfway through the flight!

The dinner menu began.

As usual, Shen Yunqing handled it.

"Have a smaller dinner tonight? Maybe more fruits?"

"Hmm."

Gu Qiantong, learning from her lunch experience, obediently ordered some of her favorite dishes.

After dinner before the plane lands, there would be another late-night meal, which could also be called breakfast.

Jiang Lingxi looked at the time displayed on her phone, which Shen Yunqing had just set for her.

Two times: one was the familiar Imperial City time, and the other was the destination time.

In the Imperial City, it was night, but now, as she opened the sunshade by her side, it was just at sunrise, the bursting light casting everything in a splendid orange glow, dazzling and mesmerizing.

That sight held her gaze for quite a while.

Although since awakening in the modern world, she knew from the original body’s memories and the information around her that this world was bigger than she initially thought, this was the first time experiencing it firsthand.

The world is so big; it’s indeed worth seeing in person.

When the broadcast sounded, there was a small commotion in the cabin.

Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, though the seat that allows sitting and lying was very comfortable, spending over ten hours in it was an unprecedented experience for her.

Fortunately, it finally ended.

The downside was that she’d have to take another journey on the way back!

Stepping out of the cabin, seeing the bright sunlight outside, many people still felt a bit dazed.

"Xixi sis!"

Jiang Lingxi raised her hand to respond to Lu Zhengzheng, who was enthusiastically waving at her, and together with Shen Yunqing, they moved to an open space to wait.

A few people pushed their checked-in luggage over to join them.

After confirming the number of people and that all luggage was present, they chatted about their experiences on the plane as they headed to the exit.

The airport hall was already quite crowded because of an international fashion event. Exiting, it could be described as a sea of people.

Behind were planes from all over the world landing with a roar, and ahead were throngs of people, with a central red carpet laid out, stretching into the distance. Major media on both sides had long set up their equipment, making it another red carpet scene.

Tong Yue had just turned on her phone and received a message from the event organizers.

"Lingxi, the message says the car picking us up will arrive within fifteen minutes, and the license plate number is..."

Jiang Lingxi spotted the car waiting at the other end of the red carpet, memorized the license plate, and nodded, "Let’s go."

Seeing several people walking on the red carpet, cooperating with the media as they walk and pause, fifteen minutes might just be enough to finish the whole journey.

But there were also those who gave no face to the media when Jiang Lingxi was stopped by a local media team for a photo, and a grand team walked past behind.

Tong Yue and Shen Yunqing shielded Jiang Lingxi from left to right, glancing at Gu Qiantong, who was leading the group bypassing them, and frowned.

She wasn’t mistaken; there indeed seemed to be some friction between their artist and this young Miss Gu!

After bypassing Jiang Lingxi, Gu Qiantong looked back at her once and continued striding forward.

She had no need to cooperate with the surrounding media, only have these media chase to capture her in photos.

All the way to the end of the red carpet, a car was waiting with its door open, alongside a security guard in a suit with above-average looks.

Without a thought, she was about to get in the car when an arm stretched out in front of her.

"Miss, please show your invitation."

Gu Qiantong’s assistant holding a phone looked awkward, "Miss..."

"Here you go."

"Sorry, Miss Gu, your car is behind this one."

Gu Qiantong’s face flushed instantly, turning to glare at her assistant fiercely: "Why didn’t you remind me earlier?"

The assistant was close to tears, "I was just about to."

She wanted to remind her earlier, but she needed a chance to speak!

"Can’t you swap the guest for this car with me since their guest is late?"

The security guard’s arm still firmly blocked the car door, and after looking at his watch, he replied, "Sorry, the reserved time for the guest of this car still has five minutes left."

Meaning, the guest wasn’t late; you arrived early.

Gu Qiantong: "..."

Jiang Lingxi arrived at the end of the red carpet with her team just in time, seeing the still awkward confrontation.

What a coincidence, one side was even a familiar face!
