Chapter 126 Mom, this uncle must be a foreigner, right?
After two leisurely days at home, it was time for school to start.
At Xiamen Gaoqi Airport, Ye Fan, Zhao Mingzhe, Pei Yi'an, and Tang Yanning were together.
Zhao Mingzhe's parents looked at their children with faces full of reluctance and worry, especially Zhao Mingzhe's mother, Shen Qingtang, whose brows were furrowed: "They're in an unfamiliar place, it's really worrying..."
Ye Linzhang patted his old friend Zhao Donglai on the shoulder and comforted him, "Old Zhao, don't worry. The kids are grown up, and you have to let them fly on their own, otherwise their wings will never be strong."
Gu Ruoning, standing to the side, added with a smile, "Don't worry, Qingtang, she's not unfamiliar with the place at all! My boy has been to Jinling several times already, she knows the way around like the back of her hand!"
Ye Fan smiled and waved to the parents, then called to his three friends, "Let's go, let's go, we'll miss our flight if we don't leave now!"
The four of them walked together toward the security checkpoint.
Zhao Mingzhe kept turning back to call out to his parents, "Mom and Dad, don't worry! I'll take good care of myself!"
Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning also politely said goodbye to the parents. Pei Yi'an looked calm, while Tang Yanning waved with a sweet smile.
Inside business class.
Ye Fan had just sat down by the window when his gaze inadvertently swept over the back row and came into view a gentle and mature young woman with a little girl of about three or four years old, who looked like a porcelain doll.
The young woman had a beautiful face and a voluptuous figure, exuding a captivating charm.
Ye Fan glanced at it a few more times purely out of appreciation for beautiful things, feeling at peace with himself.
Sitting next to him, Zhao Mingzhe looked around like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden, excitedly nudging Ye Fan with his elbow: "Old Ye! Business class is so different from economy class! This is what life is all about!"
He then shouted across the aisle to Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning, "Hey, Goddess Pei, Tangtang! Look how spacious and comfortable these seats are!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yi'an merely glanced back indifferently, nodded slightly, and then turned back to quietly flip through the magazine in his hand, exuding a cool and aloof demeanor.
Tang Yanning turned around with a grin, gripping the back of the seat and replying with a sweet smile, "Yeah, yeah, it feels great!"
She curiously touched the armrest of the seat.
Zhao Mingzhe was so excited that he couldn't sit still and kept fidgeting in his seat.
Just then, a childish, confused voice sounded from behind:
"Mom, this uncle... he must be a foreigner, right?"
"Hmm?...No way?" the young woman replied hesitantly.
The little girl's voice was innocent and full of curiosity: "If not, why is his skin so dark?"
Zhao Mingzhe subconsciously turned around and met the little girl's clear, innocent eyes, which were looking at him with curiosity.
The excitement on his face froze and shattered instantly, and he seemed to turn to stone.
"Pfft..."
"cough..."
Uncontrollable laughter came from ahead.
Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle, his shoulders trembling slightly.
Even the usually aloof Pei Yi'an put down the magazine, a noticeable smile curving his lips, and quickly used the magazine to cover the lower half of his face.
Tang Yanning laughed so hard he almost fell onto the back of his seat, his shoulders swaying.
The young woman blushed instantly, hurriedly covering the little girl's mouth and apologizing repeatedly in utter embarrassment, "I'm so sorry! Children say things without thinking, I'm so sorry!"
Ye Fan suppressed a laugh and quickly came to the rescue of the already "severely injured" Zhao Mingzhe: "It's okay, Auntie. The little girl is innocent and cute. What she said... is quite realistic."
He deliberately emphasized the word "realistic," which earned him a furious glare from Zhao Mingzhe.
Throughout the journey, Zhao Mingzhe slumped against the back of his chair like a wilted eggplant, his neck stiff as if he had a stiff neck. He ignored Ye Fan completely, immersing himself in the blow of being "identified as a foreigner (Black) by the kids."
Ye Fan, on the contrary, chatted quietly with the little girl in the back seat with great interest, making the little girl giggle. The young woman next to him watched this heartwarming scene and a happy smile appeared on her face.
The flight, which lasted less than two hours, ended quickly.
The plane landed smoothly at Nanjing Lukou International Airport.
Zhao Mingzhe was startled awake by the jolt of landing and, still groggy, followed the flow of people to disembark.
Ye Fan, Pei Yi'an, and Tang Yanning quickly got up and grabbed their small bags. Ye Fan gave the two girls a wink, and the three of them walked directly towards the cabin door in perfect unison.
"Hey? Wait for me!"
Zhao Mingzhe shouted from behind, then suddenly realized something and abruptly looked up to find the overhead luggage rack completely empty! Looking at the three figures walking away with an air of nonchalance, he instantly exploded: "Ye Gou! You son of a bitch! Don't you want your bag?!"
Ye Fan didn't have much luggage, just a small backpack (which mainly contained his computer and important items).
Zhao Mingzhe only had one large suitcase that he checked in.
The problem was that Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning each had a 24-inch suitcase that needed to be checked in, in addition to their small handbags.
Zhao Mingzhe resignedly shouldered Ye Fan's not-so-light backpack, lifted Pei Yi'an's heavy-looking canvas bag (which seemed to contain books and documents) with one hand, and pulled Tang Yanning's pink bag with the other. He was panting heavily, gritting his teeth and muttering, "Ye dog, you're so fast, I'll smash your bag in your face later..."
The three of them collected their checked luggage and pushed the luggage cart out of the arrival hall.
Zhao Mingzhe craned his neck and looked around, searching for Ye Fan.
"There!" Tang Yanning, with her sharp eyes, pointed to the distance.
Suddenly, Ye Fan drove up in a black Audi A4L from somewhere and stopped by the roadside, waving at them.
He got out of the car and opened the trunk.
"You two get in the car first," Ye Fan said to Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning.
Pei Yi'an nodded, deftly handed his suitcase to Ye Fan, then opened the back door and quietly got in.
Tang Yanning pushed her pink suitcase to Zhao Mingzhe, smiling sweetly, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Then he jogged over, opened the passenger door, happily got in, and curiously looked around the interior: "Hey, whose car is Ye Fan's?"
Ye Fan and Zhao Mingzhe, who looked annoyed, worked together to stuff the three large suitcases into the trunk (luckily, the A4L's trunk can hold quite a bit).
Zhao Mingzhe opened the back door, plopped down next to Pei Yi'an, panting heavily, and asked irritably, "Old Ye, tell me the truth! Where did you conjure this car from?"
Ye Fan sat back in the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and smiled mysteriously: "Guess?"
"Guess what?! Just tell me!" Zhao Mingzhe rolled his eyes.
"Someone delivered it." Ye Fan started the car and put it in Drive.
"Where is that person?" Zhao Mingzhe pressed.
"I'm going to catch a plane."
Ye Fan glanced at the rearview mirror, turned the steering wheel, and merged into the traffic. "Let's go. Fasten your seatbelts. I'll take you to school to register first, and once you're settled, the three of us will go back to school to register."
This car belongs to Xiang Hao.
Xiang Hao had a friend who happened to be flying from Lukou Airport to another city today, so he drove his car over and parked it in the airport parking lot.
After Ye Fan got off the plane, he contacted the other party and got the keys. His friend then went directly into the terminal to catch his flight.
The entire process was efficient and convenient, which also reflects Ye Fan's gradually expanding network of connections in Jinling.
