Xia Cha had become the valedictorian of Yan City’s college entrance examination. Many teachers from the renowned schools called her.
However, Xia Cha wanted to study at Harbor City University the most.
Qi Ran invited her to visit Harbor City University, and Xia Cha did not refuse.
For the past two years, Qi Ran would come to Wenfeng County to look for Xia Cha whenever there was a holiday. Xia Zhenyuan and Qiu Zhi were no strangers to Qi Ran. Through observation, they found that Qi Ran was also quite outstanding.
The couple was very relieved that Xia Cha was going with Qi Ran to visit Harbor City University.
Xia Cha had already prepared a pass and Qi Ran booked a plane ticket for her.
.
When they got on the plane, Xia Cha found out that Qi Ran had bought her a ticket in the first class cabin.
“Senior, I’ll pay you the difference once we get off the plane.”
Qi Ran patted Xia Cha on the head. “You’re treating me like an outsider by saying that. I might still be in university, but I’e been running an online company with my roommate for the past two years and earned some money. I can still afford to buy a plane ticket for you!” If she hadn’t insisted repeatedly, he wouldn’t have let her pay for the price of an economy class ticket.
Xia Cha could only nod when she saw Qi Ran’s angry expression.
The two of them entered the first class cabin and Xia Cha found her seat.
It was a seat in the first row by the window.
Qi Ran was sitting by the window on the other side of the corridor.
The passenger beside Xia Cha had not arrived yet. Qi Ran sat there and chatted with Xia Cha for a while.
It was almost time to take off before Qi Ran arrived.
Xia Cha fastened her seatbelt and looked out of the window.
After a while, someone sat down beside her. Xia Cha did not turn around.
After the plane took off, Xia Cha put on her eye mask and earphones.
Before her eyes fell into darkness, she had a vague feeling that someone was looking at her. She ignored it.
…
Sitting beside Xia Cha was Huo Heng. Li Tian Corporation had successfully gone public and developed into a good listed company, attracting the attention of the Huo Family in Harbor City.
It was Old Master Huo’s birthday, and he invited the Huo Family of Yan City.
Among the branches of the Huo Family, the Huo Family in Harbor City used to be the most inconspicuous one. As such, the Huo Family in Harbor City rarely invited the Huo Family in Yan City.
This was the first time in a hundred years.
At the shareholders’ meeting, Huo Yuan was so angry that he was hospitalized. When he woke up, he found out that the Huo family from Harbor City had sent an invitation to him. He felt honored, but it was a pity that he hadn’t recovered yet and wasn’t feeling well. After all, Ye Shuangshuang’s incident had affected him too much.
He instructed Huo Heng that he must deliver a big gift and not embarrass him.
Huo Heng did not expect to meet Xia Cha on the plane.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Xia Cha’s fair and delicate face for a while.
It had been two years since they had last met and the little girl had grown up.
Her skin was smooth, her eyebrows were neat, and her face was small. She looked more and more like Xia Tang.
Huo Heng looked at her in a daze.
However, his eyes looked away very quickly.
…
Xia Cha slept.
The flight attendant’s voice sounded, “Miss Xia, what would you like to eat?”
Xia Cha took off her blindfold and slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at the beautiful stewardess with exquisite makeup and said softly, “Anything is fine.”
“Alright.”
After asking Xia Cha, the air stewardess asked the man beside her, “Young Master Huo, what about you?”
Hearing the words “Young Master Huo”, Xia Cha’s heart skipped a beat.
She turned to look at the man beside her.
He had long eyebrows, long and narrow eyes, a tall nose, and thin lips… When combined together, he looked like he had been carved by a master. He was so handsome that not a single flaw could be seen.
He was wearing an exquisite white shirt and pants. His sleeves were rolled up slightly, revealing his wristwatch and his muscular forearms.
He exuded an aura that was different from an ordinary person. It was a good combination of a noble and flirtatious aura.
After the air stewardess left, Huo Heng glanced at Xia Cha who was looking at him. Xia Cha thought that he wanted to say something to her, but he quickly retracted his gaze and returned it to the financial newspaper in his hand.
Xia Cha pursed her lips.
It seemed that he already treated her as a stranger.
She had better not talk to him!
“Sis, I brought some chewing gum. Do you want some?” Qi Ran, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, handed her a box of chewing gum.
Xia Cha waved her hand, “No thanks.”
Qi Ran took out another magazine. “Do you want to read this?”
Xia Cha unbuckled her seatbelt, got up, and took the magazine from Qi Ran.
From beginning to end, the man beside her was focused on the financial newspaper in his hand and did not look at Xia Cha.
After reading some magazines and eating, Xia Cha got up and went to the washroom.
After coming out of the washroom, Xia Cha was about to return to her seat when suddenly, the plane shook unsteadily from side to side.
Xia Cha’s slender body suddenly lost its balance. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed whatever was nearest to her.
When she realized that something was wrong and that she was holding onto the man’s hair, she was about to let go when the plane suddenly shook again.
She fell forward uncontrollably.
The next second, she fell into the man’s arms.
Her two pale hands grasped the man’s arm.
She lifted her long and thick eyelashes and looked at the man.
The man was also looking at her. His long and narrow eyes were filled with a lazy and playful look.
“Miss Xia, are you throwing yourself at me?”
Xia Cha’s face turned red immediately. She wanted to stand up from the man’s arms, but before she could do so, a grip tightened around her waist.
She had been grabbed by the man’s long hand.
“Sit tight. The plane has encountered turbulence.”
The plane was still shaking and it was a bumpy ride. Xia Cha felt awkward and uncomfortable being held tightly by the man.
“Let go of me. It’s okay if I fall. If your girlfriend finds out, she will misunderstand,” Xia Cha said anxiously.
Huo Heng glanced at Xia Cha. “Are you afraid that my girlfriend will misunderstand, or that your boyfriend will?” He glanced at Qi Ran who was staring at them.
“Yes, I’m afraid he’ll misunderstand.” Xia Cha didn’t explain her relationship with Qi Ran to Huo Heng. She didn’t want to have any more interactions with Huo Heng. She hadn’t been in a relationship before the college entrance examination, but now that it was the college entrance examination, her private life had nothing to do with him anymore.
Huo Heng used the tip of his tongue to press against his chin. His dark red lips curved into an ambiguous smile. “Miss Xia, I’m just asking casually. You don’t have to be afraid. Many women will throw themselves at me if I’m willing to entertain them.”
As he spoke, he let go of her waist.
The plane was flying steadily. Xia Cha quickly returned to her seat and fastened her seat belt. She turned her face to the window and let the blush spread to her ears.
It took a while for her heart to settle down.
Perhaps it was because the plane was shaking due to the turbulence that her heart was beating so fast!
After getting off the plane, Xia Cha and Qi Ran took their luggage and left in a taxi.
Huo Heng got into a black SUV.
