Chapter 1370 - 1372
"Wake up." Hearing the broadcast announcement from the flight attendant, Zhao Xuran nudged the deeply asleep Gong Ruini.
Zhao Guangran yawned and turned his head to look at Gong Ruini across the aisle.
"I’m really envious of Ni Zi."
"Sleeping as soon as she gets on the plane." Such sleep isn’t just admirable; jealousy would be the right word.
"Yeah." Dai Liren did some slight stretching exercises.
"My sister is just that innocent." Gong Ruzhi turned his head and pinched Gong Ruini’s cheek.
Seeing the handprint on his wife’s face, Zhao Xuran was displeased and shook his head at Gong Ruzhi, "You’re too heavy-handed."
"Brother-in-law, you’re too gentle; my sister won’t wake up." Softly calling to wake up is absolutely useless for his sister.
Gong Ruini was sleeping deeply, and after Gong Ruzhi pinched her face hard, she irritably turned her head toward a familiar scent.
"She’s waking up." Seeing his sister trusting her brother-in-law completely, brother-lover Gong Ruzhi wasn’t happy.
"Sis, we can enjoy delicious seafood."
"Sis, haven’t you been saying you want to eat seafood?"
Seafood? Oh, they’re off to Hawaii, Gong Ruini suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Where are we now?"
Originally wanting to ask if they were on the plane, she thought again about asking would cause Zhao Guangran and the others to laugh at her, thankful she saw the seats when she opened her eyes.
"Another half hour until we arrive in Hawaii."
"Is the plane descending already?" Gong Ruini asked excitedly.
"Yes." Zhao Xuran thought Gong Ruini’s excitement was because they were about to land.
"Switch seats." Gong Ruini expressed she wanted to sit by the window, "I want to take more pictures from the plane."
Though there’ll be many chances to visit Hawaii again, every first time has significant meaning.
Zhao Xuran leaned over to view the scenery outside the aircraft; he admitted it’s nice, yet after prolonged observation, it’s just blue skies and white clouds paired with the ocean.
It’s simply the unity of sky and water, or expressing admiration for how blue the ocean truly is here.
His wife finally woke up, and was constantly taking photos, making Zhao Xuran feel quite aggrieved.
Zhao Guangran took out airplane food previously unconsumed to start eating, though he never liked airplane food, when hungry, one can’t be too picky.
"Ni Zi, isn’t she hungry?" After flying for so long, Zhao Guangran was genuinely curious how Gong Ruini wasn’t feeling hungry.
If in New York, this girl would’ve already declared her hunger.
"She probably isn’t hungry." Zhao Xuran said this with his mouth, but his actions were quite honest.
In a swift motion, he pulled down the window shade, full of proficiency.
Gong Ruini was displeased, "Hey, I haven’t finished taking pictures yet."
She reached to raise the shade, planning to continue taking pictures.
"Eat something." Zhao Xuran grabbed the camera away,
"It’s been eight hours since you last ate."
"Don’t you want to arrive in Hawaii with a healthy stomach?"
"You repeatedly remind me to eat every meal, but look at you."
Zhao Xuran nagged verbally, yet his actions didn’t pause, handing the camera to Gong Ruzhi, then lowering the shade.
Taking out the previously distributed airplane meal from his bag, "Eat a bit."
Looking at the pastries and similar items, Gong Ruini genuinely had no appetite.
Pitifully gazing at Zhao Xuran, hoping he’d spare her given the food’s lack of appeal.
Most matters, Zhao Xuran could pardon, but concerning Gong Ruini’s health, he wouldn’t relent.
With arms crossed, he watched Gong Ruini, who could only reluctantly start eating.
Though unpleasant, due to her hunger, Gong Ruini consumed all the food.
Seeing only the packaging left on the tray, Gong Ruini rubbed her belly, "Still a bit hungry."
"Eat a bit less, we’ll find food upon arrival." Claiming not to be hungry, but see, all this food was finished quickly.
"But I’m hungry." Once off the plane who knows when they’ll eat, though Gong Ruini could tolerate not eating, right now she couldn’t manage the hunger.
Ultimately unable to withstand Gong Ruini’s pitiful gaze, Zhao Xuran turned towards Zhao Guangran.
No way, he wants to take food from him; Zhao Guangran wished to shield his food, but no choice, his brother’s gaze was intimidating.
Could only unwillingly offer his food, "Brother."
"Okay, I’ll treat you to a feast." Just some pastries, why such stinginess?
"Really?" With a feast in prospect, certainly the pastries lost appeal.
Zhao Guangran swiftly offered the pastries.
Gong Ruini’s heart ached, it’s just some pastries, was a feast necessary?
With men nearby, money can’t last; looking at the pastries gained by swapping a feast, Gong Ruini ate them with vehemence.
It’s not Gong Ruini being petty about money, but this trip wasn’t meant to have a third wheel.
A good couple’s trip turned into a group outing again with Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruzhi, Gong Jiaming, and the Dai Family Brothers.
If just Dai Liren and Gong Jiaming, Gong Ruini could endure; these two are decent, won’t say odd things.
But Zhao Guangran, Gong Ruzhi, and Dai Limin are different.
Due to sitting in a row, Gong Ruini immediately saw Dai Liren beside Zhao Guangran, not knowing his thoughts, fully in his own world.
"What do you think Dai Limin is thinking?"
"Is he considering beach babe watching?" Don’t be fooled by Zhao Guangran’s reasons for a Hawaii vacation.
But Gong Ruini assures what Zhao Guangran really meant was lying on the beach observing beauties, and those in bikinis.
Zhao Guangran won’t tell them, but what about sharing with Dai Limin?
Oh no, wondering if Zhao Guangran, this old hand, would lead Gong Ruzhi astray.
"You, eat something." Initially, Zhao Xuran hadn’t considered these, but after planning Hawaii playtime researched thoroughly.
Even though Zhao Guangran hasn’t spoken, he knows a bit, but he’s rather frustrated.
If known earlier, he’d rather go to Yellowstone Park for nature’s wonders.
As for Hawaii suggested wedding venues, is that crucial?
Zhao Xuran always believed no matter how grand a wedding’s procession, nothing beats true love between the couple, certainly still requiring family blessings.
Even if wed in Beijing’s mansion, Zhao Xuran would feel it immensely sweet, a memory to cherish in old age.
Since marrying his beloved, his tiny bride, whom he’d continue loving forever.
Turning to see Gong Ruini battling with food, he took her hand, kissed it gently.
What’s happening here? Gong Ruini was dumbfounded, why suddenly so gentlemanly, even mimicking a European’s hand-kiss courtesy.
Seeing this, Zhao Guangran regretted not booking Zhao Xuran and Gong Ruini seats far from theirs.
At least no food would be snatched and wouldn’t force-feed dog food.
