Chapter 205: Chapter 205: The Person Next to Me is a Big Talker

The entire process went smoothly, and in less than an hour, she finished the check-in and was seated without noticing anything amiss.

Su Luoyi’s suspended heart finally settled.

To pass the long hours of the flight, she had brought a romance novel that she had been fond of since college.

Back then, her studies took priority for the sake of becoming an exchange student, so she had only skimmed it briefly.

Before she had read more than a few pages, the young man beside her initiated a mode of familiarity, talking about everything from the efficiency of the security check to the quality of the flight attendants’ service, the comfort level of the seats, and the duration of the flight.

Su Luoyi treated it as if he were talking to himself, occasionally nodding and responding noncommittally to get it over with.

"Do you understand Language Y?"

Alright, he’s switched to the novel now.

Making conversation for the sake of it, going to Country Y, but not understanding Language Y?

Su Luoyi nodded reluctantly.

"This book doesn’t even have annotations, and you’re reading quite fast, like speed reading. Any secret to learning Language Y...?"

"I’ve read it before, this is the second time."

Despite Su Luoyi’s indifferent response, the man next to her remained cheerful and unhurried.

"Oh, that’s pretty impressive! You seem to be working, dressed so formally and looking very pretty. Are you on a business trip?"

Su Luoyi nodded and flipped another page of her book.

When buying the ticket, she had specifically chosen a window seat to avoid being disturbed and to freely enjoy the view outside, but it turned out she encountered a Big Talker, which was extremely annoying.

"Will someone be picking you up after the flight? If not, you could join me. Where are you heading? Have you booked your hotel in advance?"

"Sorry, I’m reading a book, so..."

"Oh, okay okay, sorry about that, I’ll stop bothering you. Please, go back to your reading."

Su Luoyi nodded and was preparing to twist her neck and continue reading when she saw a very burly middle-aged man walking straight toward them.

A brief exchange of glances was chilling to the bone.

Su Luoyi’s heart skipped a beat, immediately recalling the eerie knocking at her hotel door the day before yesterday.

That day, it had happened three times over. Each time the door knocked, but when she went to look through the peephole, there was not a soul to be seen.

Could it be someone sent by Li Zishen?

They didn’t make a move in Jin City, just a scare, but were preparing to go abroad?

Su Luoyi’s mind flashed with countless ways to die and all sorts of gruesome tortures, scenes she had seen in movies.

As the middle-aged man passed their row, Su Luoyi was already feeling ice-cold.

"Miss, you dropped your book!"

The young man beside her helped pick it up and handed it to her with a smile.

"Oh, thank you."

"Do you find that guy a bit... you know?"

"What?" Su Luoyi said, embarrassed.

The young man coughed lightly and whispered with his hand covering his mouth, "That tall guy who just passed by, doesn’t he look like he boxes? Seems like he could throw a good punch, haha."

"Yeah, he does look a bit like that."

"I saw him during boarding. He has a pretty girlfriend, blonde and blue-eyed, the kind with a superb figure."

Upon hearing this, Su Luoyi’s heart suddenly relaxed, and she replied with a smile, "Oh, is that so?"

"You can see for yourself if you turn around."

In reality, having lived in Country Y, Su Luoyi was no longer struck by blonde, blue-eyed girls, nor did she find them exceptionally pretty, but at that moment, she couldn’t help but turn her head and sneak a peek.

Ah, it turns out they’re a couple!

It seems I’ve overthought things; Li Zishen had no intention of killing me.

After all, he and William are friends. If he really wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t have sent Chen Xin to bail me out of the police station; it would be safer to deal with it there.

I’ve watched too many movies, such wild thoughts!

"How about it, isn’t she stunning?" the young man asked with a smile.

Su Luoyi closed her book, smiled, and nodded. At that moment, her view of him changed suddenly; he no longer seemed as annoying and had even become somewhat endearing.

"Are you on a business trip too?"

"No, I’m going home."

"But you said something about the book not having annotations, so you must be quite fluent, right?"

Su Luoyi shook her head and reopened her book.

She felt she had been played by her seatmate; he was just warming up to her with not a single word of truth spoken.

"Not really, I can barely communicate. It’s a long story. Actually, I lived in Country F before. Later, due to my parents, I reluctantly moved to Country Y. Speaking of which, I know three languages, it’s just a pity..."

"What a coincidence, my elective course in college was Language F; I particularly like Country F."

"Really? What a coincidence!"

They turned their heads toward each other and both laughed.
