Chapter 1104 Safe Landing
On the bus, the person in charge of this government-sponsored trip abroad was tirelessly explaining the precautions to everyone, and then offered some words of encouragement, hoping everyone would return home quickly after successful studies to serve their homeland.
The applause also inspired Luo Qiao, who resolved to cherish this learning opportunity and to gain more knowledge.
By the time they reached the airport, there was plenty of time left. They exchanged their boarding passes, checked in their luggage, went through security, and then entered the waiting hall.
Everyone was somewhat excited. The twelve people took turns introducing themselves and the universities they were attending. There was only one student named Zhang Jing who was going to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which wasn’t far away. The others were not in the same state as him.
Soon, it was time to board the plane. Luo Qiao glanced outside unintentionally and saw Lu Yichen and Second Brother Luo Xuyuan watching her from a distance. Since she was about to board and couldn’t leave her group, she used sign language to gesture "I love you," and then formed a heart above her head.
Unexpectedly, this scene was captured by a journalist, and the next day this affectionate moment appeared in the newspapers. However, the angle of the photo made it hard to recognize Luo Qiao, as her face was not clearly captured.

Watching the airplane soar into the sky, Lu Yichen’s heart flew away with it. Luo Xuyuan patted his shoulder, "Let’s go, the plane is out of sight now. Don’t you have important matters to attend to?"
The two of them drove back to the city. Lu Yichen first returned to the Gu family residence to discuss the matter with his grandfather and his aunt, telling them it was sufficient if only the family knew and not to spread it further.
In the morning, he and his wife had already consulted with Elder Rong and Rong Daniang. The elderly couple had no objections, only worried that language barriers might hold Luo Qiao back. However, after finding out that He Qing understood foreign languages and would also be accompanying them, they had no concerns at all.
