Chapter 25 Business Class? Economy Class?
Of course, Lu Mingfei didn't know that Qiao Yiran was feeling sorry for him and angry at him for not fighting back. He looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window and prayed silently in his heart that the journey would go smoothly.

In his previous life, every time he encountered such a long-distance journey, his trip never went smoothly.

At the beginning of his freshman year, he went to Kassel College for registration for the first time and encountered the delay of CC100 express train. He was also fined $2 by the customs in Chicago for bringing pirated PS500 discs. He was so miserable that he and Finkel had to drink a cup of Coke alone.

During the summer vacation of his sophomore year, he and Chu Zihang flew thousands of miles to the Gonzaga Railway Station carrying secret information. However, they encountered a strike by workers in the railway bureau and were forced to book a room with his paralyzed senior for a week.

During the summer vacation of junior year, they finally did not go to Chicago this time, but took a plane to Neon. The journey was smooth, but the plane lost control when it was about to land, and Lu Mingfei and his friends were almost put in jail. Fortunately, the plane finally made an emergency landing in the sea, allowing the three of them to save their lives.

It was not until he watched an anime called "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and saw a character named Joseph Joestar who had four plane crashes and was nicknamed the Vehicle Killer that Lu Mingfei felt a sense of hero appreciating hero.
He wished he could shake hands with him and become sworn brothers with him, but he regretted that there was a chasm of another dimension between them that prevented them from meeting each other.

This was of course a joke, but it was true that Lu Mingfei was traumatized by such a long journey.

The decoration and facilities of Dongpu International Airport in 2006 were relatively simple, and the surrounding area was desolate, which was far from the prosperous and advanced appearance that Lu Mingfei remembered.

This landmark complex hub airport, built in 1999, has been in use for less than seven years. The airport's second runway is still under renovation and is said to be officially put into use next year.

Lu Mingfei followed the class team and went to the manual counter under the guidance of the airport staff to check in his luggage. After choosing his seat, he prepared to print his boarding pass.

"Lu Mingfei, where are you sitting?" Just when Lu Mingfei printed out his boarding pass, Qiao Yiran popped out from behind him like a ghost.

"What do you want to do?" Lu Mingfei took a step back cautiously, holding the boarding pass to his chest as if he was afraid of being molested.

He seriously suspected what evil ideas this little girl was thinking of.

For example, choosing a seat for Liu Miaomiao next to himself.

“Tsk, don’t be so conceited, okay?” Qiao Yiran made a face at Lu Mingfei, his nose wrinkled. “Miaomiao has already checked in. She paid for the upgrade to business class, which is incomparable to us who sit in economy class. I just came to make sure you didn’t secretly choose a seat next to Miaomiao.”

Lu Mingfei looked at Liu Miaomiao not far away, and sure enough, he saw that she was holding the boarding pass in her hand and chatting and laughing with the girl next to her.

"Don't slander me, I'm innocent." Lu Mingfei showed Qiao Yiran his boarding pass.

Qiao Yiran's eyes quickly swept over Lu Mingfei's boarding pass, then a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She hummed a little tune and nodded her head as she went to check in, leaving Lu Mingfei standing there in confusion.

……

The plane landed at the airport on time. The sky was clear and cloudless. The weather was good for the next few days. The person in charge of selecting the travel time had checked the weather forecast for the next ten days in advance.

Lu Mingfei queued up for the plane with his boarding pass in hand and took his seat in the reserved seat.

He chose seat A, which was at the back of the cabin and next to the window. From the window, he could see the busy airport ground staff on the large apron.

After the plane takes off, the people on the ground will gradually shrink, from small insects to smaller than ants, until the plane flies into the clouds and their figures completely disappear.

There were the sounds of "dong dong dong" footsteps in the front, and a burly figure gradually approached Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei looked up and saw a bald white man stopped in front of his row.

The burly man, wearing sunglasses and holding a boarding pass, glanced at the seat number on the wall. The look behind the sunglasses was intimidating and full of oppression.

This brother... wouldn't he just happen to be sitting next to me? Lu Mingfei's heart trembled suddenly.

The bald, muscular white man stuffed the bag into the luggage rack in the cabin just above Lu Mingfei, then sat down in Seat C, which was close to the corridor.

Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately, Lu Mingfei sighed in his heart.

Not long after the burly man sat down, Lu Mingfei caught a glimpse of a nimble figure slowly walking towards the back half of the cabin.

As luck would have it, the figure also stopped at Lu Mingfei's row.

Lu Mingfei turned towards the aisle.

His sight crossed with Liu Miaomiao, who was holding her boarding pass. Then he suddenly saw Liu Miaomiao's pretty face turn red, and he looked away in panic.

Lu Mingfei suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Aren't you sitting in business class? Why are you in economy class?"

Liu Miaomiao lowered her head and said nothing.

"You..." Lu Mingfei was stunned, "You won't sit here, will you? Row XX, Seat B?"

"Just now when we were boarding the plane, Yiran told me that she felt a little unwell and wanted to change seats with me and sit in the business class in the front to rest, so I changed seats with her."

Liu Miaomiao's cheeks flushed with shyness, and she looked around nervously, "I didn't expect you to sit here too."

Damn, it was when I was looking at the boarding pass just now!
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but lower his head and cover his face, thinking that he had planned everything, but he had never expected that Qiao Yiran would book a seat next to him first and then switch seats with Liu Miaomiao.

"She must have done it on purpose." Lu Mingfei stroked his forehead, "Why don't you... sit back down?"

Liu Miaomiao bit her lip and hesitated for a moment.

"It's okay. I'll just sit here. I think she's really not feeling well."

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Liu Miaomiao, you are such a good person, no wonder you were scumbag by Zhao Menghua. But she really just pretended to be uncomfortable, trying to bring us together.

No, doesn't it sound a bit too ambiguous to use the word "matchmaking" here?

Although Liu Miaomiao said she would just sit here, she stood in the aisle and didn't come in. Lu Mingfei initially thought that Liu Miaomiao was still hesitating whether to sit with him.

But when he glanced sideways, he saw Liu Miaomiao holding her boarding pass, looking timidly at the bald burly man sitting in seat C, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Then he immediately understood that Liu Miaomiao was intimidated by the aura of the bald burly man Wu Ke.

"Why don't you sit inside, Liu Miaomiao? I'll sit in the middle."

"Ah?" Liu Miaomiao's face flashed with surprise, and then she immediately waved her hand, "No need for that, Lu Mingfei. You specially chose the window seat."

"no problem, no problem."

Lu Mingfei stood up from his seat without saying anything, and said to the bald man sitting in seat C in fluent English:

"Could you please get up for a moment? My friend is sitting in the seat."

Liu Miaomiao blinked, a little surprised.

Isn’t Lu Mingfei’s English score just barely above the passing line...how come his English pronunciation is so standard?

And with a London accent!
Moreover...his EQ is quite high. He can actually tell what I am hesitating about.

Of course Liu Miaomiao didn’t know that Lu Mingfei had actually studied abroad in his previous life.

Although Chinese is the language of the entire school at Kassel College and English is not a strict requirement, after all, living abroad, I have been exposed to the environment and have mastered fluent English communication skills.

As for the London accent... that's because I stayed with that old guy in Angers for too long and my accent was stolen from me.

The bald man stood up. Lu Mingfei walked out of his seat first, and then, like a loyal butler, he put his hands behind his back and let Liu Miaomiao sit down in seat A.

"Thank you." Liu Miaomiao stared at the ground and nodded slightly to Lu Mingfei.
