Luo Qianqian in her Flight Attendant uniform.
She looked... even more charming than in her usual attire.
Zhou Xing wrapped his arms around Luo Qianqian. "Then you better fasten your seatbelt; the plane is about to take off."
"It's fine, Pilot. I've been a Flight Attendant for many years. As long as the Pilot can take off smoothly and the plane doesn't hit turbulence, I won't be affected."
Luo Qianqian giggled and said, "I just don't know how the Pilot's flying skills are. Are you better at long-haul or short-haul flights?"
"I have great stamina; I mostly do international flights."
Zhou Xing replied.
"That's not necessarily true. If we crash midway, the Pilot will lose a lot of face."
Luo Qianqian laughed coquettishly.
"You'll find out once we take off..."
Without another word, Zhou Xing picked up Luo Qianqian and walked toward the bedroom amidst her startled cries.
After a long while.
Zhou Xing looked at Luo Qianqian with a complex expression. "You..."
Luo Qianqian seemed very experienced, open-minded, full of tricks, and had a broad perspective.
But he hadn't expected that Luo Qianqian was just like Xiao Lanlan.
"What, is it that strange?"
Luo Qianqian frowned but forced a smile. "Did you think someone like me would have been through a hundred battles already?"
"Don't you regret it?"
Zhou Xing asked after a moment of silence.
"What's there to regret?"
Luo Qianqian shook her head. "I think it's fine. At least I've achieved my goal."
"Goal?"
Luo Qianqian nodded. "That's right. My dream is to find a rich man and live an affluent life."
"It would be even better if he were handsome, and you perfectly meet all my requirements. What more could I ask for?"
Zhou Xing didn't speak, but Luo Qianqian laughed self-deprecatingly. "Do you think a woman like me is too materialistic, only caring about money?"
Before Zhou Xing could speak, Luo Qianqian continued on her own, "I'm twenty-six this year."
"In the Flight Attendant industry, someone my age is almost done. There are very few opportunities and very little time left for me."
"If I lose this job, I really don't know what I would do. I'd have no choice but to marry an ordinary man, stay at home to raise children, and argue every day over trivial expenses."
"I don't want to live that kind of life!"
Luo Qianqian said calmly, "The Flight Attendant industry seems glamorous, but we're all just ordinary people. After getting used to seeing wealthy people, it's hard for us to return to a normal mindset."
"I understand that besides my body, I don't really have any value, so I protected it well."
Luo Qianqian reached out to wrap her arms around Zhou Xing's neck, pretending to be lighthearted. "Fortunately, heaven rewards those who try. Just as I was about to give up, I met you, and An Ya gave me the chance, so I didn't hesitate to take it."
"Will you look down on someone like me?"
Luo Qianqian looked at Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing stared at Luo Qianqian until she became a bit uneasy, then a smile appeared on his face. "Of course not."
"You like money, and money is exactly what I have plenty of."
Zhou Xing laughed. "Isn't this the best of both worlds? A two-way pursuit!"
Luo Qianqian was a bit speechless by Zhou Xing's 'two-way pursuit' comment, but she still asked, "Then will you give me the life I want?"
"That depends on your sincerity."
"..."
...The sun was high in the sky.
Zhou Xing got up and checked the time; it was already ten in the morning.
He went to the bathroom, then rubbed his lower back.
Two consecutive days of 'long-haul travel' indeed placed high demands on one's physical constitution.
Zhou Xing opened his Attribute Panel.
A light blue light screen appeared before his eyes.
[host: Zhou Xing]
[Age: 18]
[Height: 185]
[Appearance: 83]
[Constitution: 79]
[Stamina: 92]
[Skill: Novice Driving Skill]
[...]
He wasn't surprised that his stamina had dropped.
But he found it hard to accept that his constitution had actually dropped by a point as well.
So, as stamina decreases, does the constitution fluctuate too?
Zhou Xing pondered for a while.
It seemed a fitness plan needed to be put on the agenda.
Although he was still young, he couldn't withstand excessive exhaustion.
Health is the foundation of everything.
Otherwise, no matter how much money one has, it's all in vain.
Once he got older, he wouldn't be able to Pilot a plane and soar through the blue sky and white clouds anymore.
This was something he could not accept.
After returning to the bedroom, Zhou Xing found that Luo Qianqian was also awake.
Propping up her chin and revealing a large expanse of fair skin, she looked at Zhou Xing with a beaming smile. "Good morning, Mr. Pilot!"
"It seems you've rested well?"
Zhou Xing glanced at Luo Qianqian.
"Mhm."
Luo Qianqian replied, "After all, it's a Presidential Suite. In every aspect, it's infinitely better than the hotel I usually stay at."
Although she stayed in a four-star hotel arranged by the company.
That was just an ordinary standard room.
Compared to the Ritz-Carlton, and a Presidential Suite at that, there was simply no comparison.
"Since you've rested well, it's time to get ready and start your shift."
Zhou Xing stepped forward. "In yesterday's flight, you and I coordinated well, so you'll be joining me for the return flight."
The smile on Luo Qianqian's face vanished instantly.
"Mr. Pilot... no, Zhou Xing, Young Master Zhou!"
Luo Qianqian said, "Please spare me. Long-haul flights are really too exhausting; I still haven't recovered yet."
"Weren't you questioning my flying skills, afraid of a crash?"
"I was wrong, Pilot. I shouldn't have questioned you. Your flying skills are absolutely top-tier. I've never seen such a capable Pilot; a crash is absolutely impossible."
Luo Qianqian begged repeatedly, "It's just that yesterday's back-to-back long-haul flights left me a bit mentally and physically exhausted. Can we rest for a bit and schedule the return flight for another day?"
"If that doesn't work, how about I trick An Ya into coming over later, and the two of us can coordinate with you together?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
The sight of An Ya and Luo Qianqian both wearing airline uniforms... the image appearing in his mind made his heart race.
But he quickly dismissed the thought.
With An Ya's personality, it was still quite unlikely.
At least for now... it wouldn't work.
He would have to wait and see if there was a chance in the future before considering such things.
He smiled and didn't dwell on the topic further. Picking up the clothes from the floor, he tossed them toward Luo Qianqian. "Clean yourself up. Get up, we're going out."
"Where to?"
Luo Qianqian asked curiously.
"Out for a meal, and then I'll take you to experience the life you want."
