Chapter 1073: The Story of Ling and Heng (336)
When boarding the plane, Xiao Xu walked in front alone with his suitcase. Although they all flew first cla.s.s, Xiao Xu sat by the window. After boarding the plane, he asked the flight attendant for a blanket, a blindfold and earphones, wore them, and fell asleep silently.
The plane was almost full, but the first-cla.s.s cabin had only four seats. Xiao Xu fell asleep in the back row and Feng Ling and Li Nanheng sat next to each other. Feng Ling sat by the window.
After the plane took off smoothly, Feng Ling saw that the seat next to Xiao Xu was empty and was about to go over to sit there when the flight attendant in this first-cla.s.s cabin said with a polite smile, “Miss, I’m sorry. The seat you take in the first-cla.s.s cabin must strictly follow the position on your boarding pa.s.s.”
Feng Ling had to return to her seat and sit down, but Li Nanheng was sitting by her side. Even though he was silently reading the English newspaper on the plane, she was still upset.
She had tried so hard to get his signature, but in the end, she still had to fly to Hai City with him.
Although they didn’t have any conversation during the whole flight, it was really weird that they could sit next to each other in such a harmonious way.
After a while, the flight attendants handed them an exquisite menu and asked them to order.
Feng Ling didn’t know there was such a service on the plane. She didn’t know the difference between first cla.s.s and economy cla.s.s. She looked at the menu and was about to talk when the man next to her said casually, “Red wine.”
Did they even provide red wine?
She took a closer look at the menu in her hand, then flipped it over, and did see the words “Red wine”.
Xiao Xu “woke up” because he wanted to eat something. He took off his blindfold and earphones and happened to see Feng Ling reading the menu with an adorkable expression. He chuckled again, ordered a few things, and returned the menu to the flight attendant. Then he leaned in the seat, thinking about whether he should continue to wear the blindfold and headphones while waiting for the meal. He pretended not to exist just now so as not to disturb them, but the two didn’t seem to talk at all.
Not only did the two never exchange a word, Feng Ling even wanted to sit by his side just now.
Poor Boss Li, he refused to sign a few days ago just because he was worried about her safety, so he accompanied her to Hai City personally, but he pretended he didn’t care about her at all.
Xiao Xu sighed in his heart but did not dare to say anything on the surface.
Feng Ling also ordered a few things to eat. As for the drinks, she would wait to see how the red wine Li Nanheng ordered was. If it looked good, she would order a bottle too.
While waiting for the meal, Li Nanheng got up and went to the bathroom. While he was away, the meal Feng Ling ordered was delivered, including a bottle of red wine, which was all placed in a tray.
Feng Ling knew that the things she just ordered seemed to be free, but why did they bring her a bottle of red wine that she didn’t order?
She did not check if they made a mistake and gave her the red wine Li Nanheng ordered. She was indifferent to his affairs anyway. She picked up a knife and fork and ate something, which tasted good. Then she opened the wine bottle and poured some wine into the exquisite goblet on the tray. She took a sip and it tasted good. It tasted sweet and mellow. Although she didn’t know much about wine, she remembered it was a very famous brand in the United States.
It was said that it would take more than ten hours to fly to Hai City. Although Feng Ling knew that she was not good at drinking, she still took a sip of the wine from time to time while slowly eating to kill time.
When Li Nanheng came back, he saw his red wine on her side. He only glanced at her and said nothing. The flight attendant came over and asked him in a low voice if he wanted to order another bottle. He waved his hand, sat down, and continued to read the magazine.
Feng Ling didn’t look at him, nor did he look at her. After a long while, Li Nanheng wanted to change a magazine and glanced at the wine bottle in front of her out of the corner of his eye.
It was almost empty.
Looking at the red wine bottle that was almost empty, Li Nanheng raised his eyebrows before turning his eyes to Feng Ling.
The cheeks of this short-haired little woman were all red, but she obviously didn’t know it. Was this her way to kill time? This wine was strong and she might easily get drunk.
Although she was sober, she gradually felt a little sleepy. After asking the flight attendant to remove the food, Feng Ling felt dizzier and dizzier. She didn’t know how long she could sleep on the plane, but if she fell asleep, she wouldn’t be so upset in the following ten hours sitting next to Li Nanheng.
She let sleepiness overwhelm her and closed her eyes.
When the flight attendant came back, she saw that this young lady seemed to be asleep and went to fetch a thin blanket for her. However, when she came back with a blanket, she saw Miss Feng unknowingly leaned aside, but when her head was about to hit the window, the killingly handsome but cold-faced man next to her suddenly stretched out his arm and protected her head with his hand, and Miss Feng, who was asleep, put her head on the shoulder of the man because of inertia and instinct.
This scene seemed to happen suddenly but looked strangely harmonious. The flight attendant looked at the cold-faced man and noticed a gentle gleam flickering across his eyes. He seemed to notice the curious gaze of the flight attendant, glanced at her indifferently, took the blanket, and signaled that she could go.
The flight attendant nodded and hurriedly left.
Then she saw that the man put the blanket on Miss Feng. Without pus.h.i.+ng her head away, he tilted his shoulder to make her sleep more comfortable.
The flight attendant was stunned.
Although the two got on the plane together, they didn’t seem to communicate with each other at all. Weren’t they strangers?
It seemed that… they were a young couple in a cold war…
