Powered it on.
“Hey, junior, do you know who else is leading us to the sumr camp besides Director ng?” Shi Ruolan brought up the topic of the sumr camp to Bai Lian and then whispered with a hint of mystery.
Director ng was the teacher in charge of the team this ti.
“…Who?” Bai Lian had pretty much guessed it when Jiang Fulai accompanied her to the airport this morning.
But she still played along with Shi Ruolan.
“It’s, you know, the two institutes of Jiang University,” Shi Ruolan continued in a lowered voice when she saw Bai Lian’s interest, “Apart from the Quantum Research Institute under Academician Ma, there’s also an Aerospace and Dark Matter Research Institute. I heard that our team leader this ti is from there…”
Bai Lian’s fingertips tapped on the computer, launching the video software and playing the movie she had downloaded in advance.
Shi Ruolan talked, and Bai Lian just listened, sharing one of her earbuds with Shi Ruolan.
An airplane journey lasting over ten hours.
When the sky turned dark, most people on the flight were asleep, and Bai Lian went to the restroom.
When she ca out after washing her hands, the cramped aisle had one more person.
He was slowly rolling up his sleeves, clad in a silver-grey satin shirt, exuding nobility and aloofness that were out of place in this cramped space.
He glanced up upon hearing the door open.
The aisle wasn’t well-lit, and a white curtain separated it from the first-class cabin up ahead.
“Would you like to co over to my side to rest for a while?” Jiang Fulai, who was accustod to privilege, didn’t like sitting close to others, nor did he like noise. He extended his hand to embrace her, his voice low, “Private space, a bit larger seating area.”
Bai Lian and the others were still students, after all, and this international exchange was a rare opportunity.
Jiang Fulai hadn’t ddled much with Tang Ming and their social interactions.
“No need,” Bai Lian wasn’t as arrogant as the young master Jiang, capable of adjusting to any setting. Sensing soone coming, she patted Jiang Fulai’s hand as a signal to let go, “Soone is coming.”
Jiang Fulai released her hand and slipped a new SIM card into her palm, “Install it later.”
His expression turned unavoidably colder, and his light-hued eyes involuntarily fell on the curtain.
The mont Director ng pulled back the curtain, he felt the goosebumps on his hand and a chill made him shiver.
Looking closely, he just happened to see Jiang Fulai’s cold, indifferent face.
Then, seeing Bai Lian coming towards him, Director ng was jolted into action, letting Bai Lian pass behind him before speaking, “Young Master Jiang, after you.”
Director ng was the head of the academic affairs office at Jiang University.
These fifty students were the future of Jiang University, and he recognized almost every one of them, especially outstanding students like Bai Lian and Ning Xiao. He thought Bai Lian had disturbed Jiang Fulai and hurriedly led her away.
Only after the curtain separated the two cabin areas did Director ng breathe a sigh of relief.
“You weren’t scared, were you?” He whispered as he walked back to his seat, turning to speak softly to Bai Lian.
Bai Lian shook her head, “No.”
“That’s good,” Director ng, seeing Bai Lian’s composed deanor, felt reassured, “The person just now is another teacher leading the team. If you have any issues later on…”
He hesitated for a mont, “You can find , or Shi.”
After Bai Lian settled down in her seat, Director ng wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Turning back to look at the curtain, he thought that this young master Jiang really lived up to the rumors. He wondered if any student would dare to ask him any questions during this trip.

The plane arrived directly at the airport in the foreign country.
Once Bai Lian disembarked, she took out her phone, checked it, and had already installed a local SIM card while on the plane.
After switching on the local data, she first video-called Ji Heng to reassure him of her safety.
On the other end of the video call, it was already nightti for Ji Heng. Ji Shaorong hadn’t left yet and was holding an unwashed dish as he greeted Bai Lian, “Happy New Year, are you in M Country?”
He recognized the airport background behind Bai Lian at a glance.
“Happy New Year,” Bai Lian also changed her greeting, very politely, “Uncle.”
This was the first ti Bai Lian had referred to herself as “Uncle” to Ji Shaorong. He paused, his usually expressionless face softening a great deal, and his voice grew tender, “Do you want any gifts for the New Year? When your grandfather arrives in Jiangjing, I’ll have him bring them to you.”
Bai Lian lacked for nothing, so she shook her head.
In the video, after pondering for a mont, Ji Shaorong refrained from asking Bai Lian further and handed the phone to Jiang He, who was eagerly looking on.
“Junior, this is a portable Wi-Fi…” While waiting for the luggage, Shi Ruolan, holding the travel Wi-Fi collected from Director ng, ca over and saw Bai Lian making a video call, “Did you activate roaming?”
