The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 311: Motion Sickness

Grabbing Hua Dexing and Hua Xiaorong by the scruff, Xiao Luo dragged them out and hurled into the minivan they arrived with. He then went back into the house, retrieved the gifts they brought along, and dumped them into the vehicle. This was precisely how his father had been treated back then, and Xiao Luo wanted his uncle to know how it felt being humiliated. He couldn’t understand how Hua Dexing could still have the gall to borrow money from him and even castigate him when he refused. It was as if he was in the wrong for not lending Hua Dexing the money.

“Son, have we been a little too harsh?” Hua Heying said, a look of worry written all over her face.

Xiao Luo shook his head, “It’s true that he’s my uncle, but that doesn’t mean that he can just swagger in here and step on our heads, yelling at us as he pleases.”

While Hua Yeying nodded, her brows were still knitted as she was feeling very uneasy about the affair.

…

…

As for the Mount Luo Ranch project, Xiao Luo had initially thought that he would have to do everything himself. But after some observation, he realized that his father was more than capable of handling the work. The farm was gradually coming to shape according to the plan. He was somewhat relieved knowing that he could rely on someone else to oversee the project.

At the same time, Luo Workshop was also restarting its operation for the new year.

Zhang Dashan had come to Luo Village, and couldn’t help flaunting his image of prosperity as he drove in with his Land Rover SV Autobiography. After he picked Xiao Luo up, they set off for Jiangcheng City. Before expanding the company to Xiahai, Xiao Luo had to tie up loose ends at the Luo Workshop headquarters so that he could wholeheartedly focus on the company’s development in Xiahai without worry.

The New Year mood was slowly fading, and Xiao Luo came back in time for the festival of lanterns, after which he bid farewell to his family then embarked on his journey to Xiahai.

Ji Siying’s business vehicle was on loan from the NSA’s Zhoukou City branch. She was to return it upon her arrival at Zhoukou City as she wasn’t expected to go to Xiahai anytime soon. Seeing that the entire Cobra Mercenary Corps had been wiped out and that 20 NSA fighters had perished at Luo Mountain, she had much to report to the authorities at NSA, Zhoukou City.

“Mr. Xiao Luo, see you in Xiahai!”

At the branch station entrance, Ji Siying parted with Xiao Luo and gave him a warm smile.

She seemed to have developed an inexplicable feeling toward Xiao Luo. When she first met him, she only saw him as a devil who would kill without the slightest provocation. But having been around him for a while, she saw a different man. Xiao Luo was a filial son and a responsible man with a strong sense of honor and integrity. She couldn’t help finding herself fascinated with him and attracted by his charm. Standing there with him at the entrance, there was a strong draft, and it was cold, but as she vividly remembered the night when she leaned on his shoulder, her heart warmed at the memory.

“Alright.”

Xiao Luo nodded, then turned and left.

As Ji Siying stood alone now, a tinge of disappointment showed on her alluring face. She was expecting him to say a little more, after what they had been through together. But as she glanced at the jade bracelet she wore on her wrist, she smiled with the innocence of a young girl who had just met her first love.

It wasn’t that she had forgotten about the bracelet, she intentionally chose not to remember it. Now that she thought about it, she pondered if Xiao Luo had also intentionally done the same, and in doing so, would the jade bracelet now belonged to her? When she thought of that, her face flushed, looking as sweet as she had just eaten honey.

…

…

At six in the evening, Xiao Luo arrived at the airport. He heard the boarding call for passengers bound to Xiahai City announced, requiring passengers to proceed to the departure gate immediately. Before he picked up his luggage to make his way there, he sent a message to Su Li: “Miss Su, I’ll be arriving at the Xiahai City Airport at around 8pm tonight!”

“Okay, I’ll send my men to pick you up at exit A.”

Su Li only replied with a single sentence, nothing more.

Xiao Luo didn’t send any more messages out and switched his phone to airplane mode.

After queuing through the gate, he walked along the aerobridge into the plane. At the cabin door, the purser and a flight attendant greeted each boarding passenger.

“Yo, pretty lady, why don’t you give me your contact? You look like my girlfriend!”

A male passenger flirted with the flight attendant as he boarded the plane. Indeed, it was a cringe-worthy, tacky pickup line.

The flight attendant pretended not to hear him and continued welcoming the other passengers.

She was an attractive lady, and even Xiao Luo took several glances at her. She was possibly in her early twenties, her dark silky hair was pulled back neatly into a bun, revealing her fair complexion. Delicate wisps of hair at the nape of her neck added a captivating allure.

She had a light fringe which accentuated her high forehead and seemed to be the vogue among flight attendants.

She had a delicate face and exquisite features of unrivaled beauty, and she wore a light gloss on her lips. She had a slender figure and was dressed in a well-fitting uniform, slightly opened at the neckline and gracefully complemented by a silk scarf. She was quite a bewitching sight to behold.

When Xiao Luo went through the cabin door, she greeted him with a smile and a courteous nod. A name was engraved on her tag pinned on her chest: Tan Ningfu, First Class Flight Attendant.

…

This was the first time Xiao Luo had boarded a plane, and the way he saw it, it would be no different from riding a bus. He would just have to get to his assigned seat, and that was it.

After the cabin door was closed, a pre-flight safety demonstration was carried out in the cabin. Xiao Luo sat in the first-class cabin. The flight attendant, Tan Ningfu, demonstrated the use of the life jacket and oxygen mask.

The plane was then towed back from the bridge, and leaving the tarmac, slowly taxied to the end of the runway. After getting its clearance for take-off, the aircraft began to roll down the runway, quickly accelerating to reach its take-off speed. Then, the nose of the plane lifted, and the colossal frame of the aircraft was airborne, soaring into the darkening sky.

Xiao Luo felt a discomfort, making him feel dizzy and nauseous, and he immediately knew that he was suffering from motion sickness.

“Are you alright, sir?” Seeing his reaction, Tan Ningfu hurried over and checked on him.

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me.”

Xiao Luo reclined his seat and leaned back, closing his eyes. His Yi Jinjing quickly went to work, forcibly suppressing the discomfort. His forehead began perspiring, and his brows were knitted, making him look rather unwell.

“Let me get you a cup of water.”

Tan Ningfu was a very experienced flight attendant, and she quickly affirmed that Xiao Luo was suffering from motion sickness.

With the help of his Yi Jinjing ability, Xiao Luo gradually recovered, and the discomfort left him like a receding tide. He opened his eyes and was greeted by a beautiful smile.

“Sir, this water is for you!” Tan Ningfu placed a cup of clear water on the chair-table in front of Xiao Luo.

“Thank you.”

Xiao Luo nodded in gratitude as he was really in need of a glass of water.

“You’re welcome.”

Tan Ningfu smiled and turned away as she went to see if other passengers needed service.

Xiao Luo took a sip of water and looked out the window. He saw the fiery red glow of the sunset in the distant sky. Hidden behind a sea of thick clouds, it was a majestic sight. It felt like he had arrived in paradise and would catch a glimpse of the heavenly palace at any time, somewhere deep within the clouds.

But in ten minutes, there was nothing but darkness outside the window.

On the other hand, it was full of excitement in the cabin. Copying the style of male leads flirting with women in Korean soap operas, the tall and thin young man who flirted with Tan Ningfu during boarding kept hitting the call button to get her attention. Instead of ordering food or drinks, he would pester Tan Ningfu for her contact number. He wasn’t interested in ordering anything at all.

“Sir, this is the last time. Please stop fooling around!” Tan Ningfu told the man, saying it firmly but not harshly.
