Chapter 106 As long as you're shameless, you can even cut in line on a plane.

Soon, the car arrived outside the airport.

Little Li, like a lackey, came down to open the door for the two of them, saying, "Slow down, be careful not to bump your head."

Qiao Xing watched as he raised his hand to block the car door, and secretly admired him, thinking that the service of a luxury car was indeed different.

What she didn't know was that Xiao Li, the full-time driver, was about to lose his job because his boss got married.

He only goes to work occasionally, so he naturally has to perform well; otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease receiving his salary if he only works one or two days a month.

After getting off the bus, Qiao Xing immediately saw Wang Ye at the door. He hesitated at the door, not daring to go in.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but Qiao Xing and Wang Ye have never been on an airplane in all their lives.

After graduating, Qiao Xing worked in Chongqing and never had the chance to leave the province. Wang Ye's meager salary was only enough to support Lily every month, and he didn't have the money to take a plane ride.

When Wang Ye saw Qiao Xing, he rushed over as if he had seen a savior.

"You two are finally here! How do we get in? Is it like taking a train, where you just swipe your ID card to get in?"

Qiao Xing didn't understand either, and she looked at Qin Ce embarrassedly.

Qin Ce twitched his lips. They don't even know how to fly, yet they dare to buy plane tickets to fly to such a remote and impoverished place. These two are truly worthy of being cousins.

Do you have any large luggage items?

Qiao Xing shook her head. "I only brought my ID card. It's only for two days anyway. I didn't bring any spare clothes."

Wang Ye asked, "I brought a bag with some local specialties. Can I bring it up?"

As he spoke, he opened his backpack to look at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce glanced at it and said, "It's fine, you can take it. Let's go."

He led the way, and the two followed behind him like followers. He went to the self-service machine, took their ID cards, and checked them in.

"That's fine."

"Can I board the plane now?" Wang Ye asked, holding up his boarding pass.

"Yes, we need to go through security first." Qin Ce said, taking out a lighter from his pocket and casually tossing it into the recycling bin next to him.

Wang Ye also patted himself down and pulled out two folding knives. "Should we throw these in too?"

Qin Ce raised his chin, gesturing for him to look at the sign over there, "Didn't you see it written there?"

Wang Ye leaned over to take a look and found that lighters, knives, and liquids exceeding 100 milliliters were not allowed to be brought up.

He checked himself over and found nothing dangerous except for the two small knives.

Qiao Xing rubbed the tip of her nose. She stole a glance at Qin Ce's expression and felt that she and Wang Ye were like two country bumpkins, completely out of place in this place.

Then came the security check and finding the boarding gate, which gave Qiao Xing quite a headache.

It took almost twenty minutes just to get to the boarding gate; that's way too far.

The three of them arrived at the boarding gate almost right on time. There was a long queue when they arrived, but Qin Ce didn't queue and walked around the crowd to another entrance.

Qiao Xing quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "Let's line up, it's not good to cut in line..."

She hadn't expected Qin Ce to cut in line when boarding a plane; it seemed so rude of him.

Although she spoke softly, the people in line next to her still heard her. Those who hadn't paid attention to them before couldn't help but glance at them a few more times after hearing what she said.

That was the entrance to first class. Whether they were actually in first class or genuinely didn't know better and wanted to cut in line became a question in their minds.

Qin Ce looked at her bewildered expression and didn't feel ashamed at all; instead, he found it rather amusing.

"It's okay, you can cut in line. Just follow me." Qin Ce suppressed a smile, coughed, and walked over with his boarding pass.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Wang Ye grabbed her and followed. "Hey, let's go. Qin Ce studied abroad and travels by plane often. He definitely knows more than us."

Qiao Xing forced a smile and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

To her surprise, the staff actually let them in.

Sure enough, as long as you're shameless enough, you can cut in line anywhere.

People who fly are much more civilized; they don't complain when others cut in line. If they were cutting in line on a train, they would have made a scene long ago.

After boarding the plane with Qin Ce, their seats were in the first row, but there were only two seats available. She and Qin Ce sat on the right, and Wang Ye sat on the left.

"We're in the first row? Did you choose these seats?" Qiao Xing turned to ask Qin Ce.

Qin Ce nodded: "Yeah, I'm fast."

"Your hand speed is too fast! You even managed to grab a spot in the first row!"

Her voice was a little loud, and people passing by on the plane couldn't help but glance at her.

Qin Ce rubbed the tip of his nose and didn't say anything.

It was fortunate that these two had never flown before, otherwise it would have been difficult to explain why he secretly upgraded them to business class, and he would have had to put on an even bigger show to cover it up.

After everyone boarded the plane, Qiao Xing once again witnessed the service on the plane. The flight attendant actually came over to ask her what she wanted for her meal, and recited a list of dishes, as well as various drinks.

Moreover, he squatted down to talk to her, leaving Qiao Xing completely at a loss.

She had seen it on TV before and thought it was just an act, but she never expected it to be real.

She turned her head and cast a pleading look at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce said, "No need, just give us two bottles of mineral water."

"Okay, Mr. Qin." The flight attendant smiled, stood up, and left. Qiao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did she know your surname is Qin?" Qiao Xing asked, somewhat surprised.

"The plane ticket has a name on it."

"Oh, I see..."

A short while later, the flight attendant came over with bottled water and hot towels to wipe their hands.

Qiao Xing couldn't help but want to ask Wang Ye how much the plane ticket cost; the service was just too good.

Qin Ce helped her unscrew the bottle cap and handed her the water, saying, "You'll be there after a nap."

"Mmm, thank you." Qiao Xing took the bottled water, drank a couple of sips, put it in the cloth bag in front of her, then grabbed the blanket on the seat, covered herself with it, and went to sleep.

Qin Ce also closed his eyes to rest. He hadn't been sleeping well lately, so he took advantage of the flight to catch up on some sleep.

The hum of the airplane was indeed soothing, and Qiao Xing fell asleep within minutes.

As she slept, her head tilted onto Qin Ce's shoulder.

Qin Ce felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned his head slightly and saw Qiao Xing sleeping soundly with her head on his shoulder. Her loose hair covered half of her face, and he could only see her small nose and pouting lips.

He unconsciously raised his lips, and couldn't help but raise his hand, extending his slender fingers to touch the tip of her nose.

Qiao Xing raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose. He withdrew his hand, turned his head to the other side as if nothing had happened, and closed his eyes again.

Two hours later, the plane landed successfully, and Qiao Xing woke up to the announcement.

She rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, and asked, "Have we arrived yet?"

"Okay, we've arrived. Get ready to disembark."

Qiao Xing yawned, sat up straight, picked up a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.

She was still a bit dazed as she got off the plane because it was already 10:30 and she was extremely tired.

She followed Qin Ce off the plane and out of the airport. A gust of cold wind finally woke her up from her drowsiness.

"Cousin, is the hotel you booked far away?"

Wang Ye was also yawning. He walked over with his bag, took out his phone and checked, "It seems quite far, it's near the bus station, it takes fifty minutes by taxi."

"So far?"

"Isn't it for the convenience of taking the bus tomorrow? Let's just take a taxi there."

Qin Ce suddenly asked, "What hotel did you book?"

"This?" Wang Ye showed him his phone. What kind of hotel did he book? The phone screen clearly showed the words "Xiangxiang Hotel"!

It costs 58 yuan per night.

Qin Ce's lips twitched slightly, and his expression finally became somewhat unsettled.

He wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm himself down, but when he reached into his pocket, his lighter was gone.

My mood got even worse.
