Chapter 11 Late Parkour

Why do we have to queue? Why is it so troublesome to park a spaceship at the port?

Heng Xing lazily lay in front of the spaceship's viewing window. After lying there for a while, he would stand up and count how many spaceships were still ahead of him, then sit down in disappointment, repeating this cycle over and over again.

The boring queuing time of just over ten minutes seemed like an illusion; it felt like the queue hadn't moved an inch.

The dilapidated little spaceship looked even more worn out when compared to the front and back.

Today is December 20th. It's probably because it's almost New Year's Eve that it's so crowded. There are just too many spaceships coming and going.

Big Star is different. In the past, the port of Koze Star was small and empty, and there were often some children playing football there.

Hengxing rested her chin on her hand, thinking that her birthday was in three days.

I want to eat a small cake.

I want to eat strawberry mini cakes.

After waiting another ten minutes, it was finally Heng Xing's turn to manually pilot the spaceship through the inspection checkpoint and into the port.

"Captain Heng, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Yu Nianqing's voice came from behind.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say yesterday that you'd call me when I got off the spaceship?" Heng Xing didn't turn around.

These past few days, Mr. Yu has been coming to chat with her whenever he's bored, and their relationship has become much closer, though they're still somewhat like familiar strangers.

"I came over early as soon as I was ready," Yu Nianqing said with a smile.

But his heart was not as calm as his face. He had a nightmare last night. Although he forgot the contents of the dream after waking up, he was still uneasy and felt that a storm was brewing.

He always trusted his intuition, so he came to check if there was a problem with the driver's cab.

"Dear customer, please select your preferred package!"

Suddenly, a small flying vehicle, no bigger than a palm, jumped out from in front of them. Heng Xing abruptly stopped the spaceship. "What the hell is that?!"

A small aircraft was displayed on the screen: "Elix Star Assistant is at your service. The price for parking at the port is 500 Star Coins per day. If you choose to park for five days at once, the price is 2,400 Star Coins. If you choose to park for ten days at once, the price is 4,700 Star Coins. Below is the payment QR code. Please pay first and then follow the assistant to the parking location."

No wonder there were so many spaceships stuck at the entrance; apparently, you have to pay first to get through.

After hesitating for a moment, Hengxing chose to pay in cash every day, paying 500 star coins, feeling as if her heart was filled with lead. After confirming her payment, the small aircraft led her to the designated docking location.

"I should have asked Mr. Liu to reimburse me since I knew I had to pay."

"Five hundred? Actually, it's more than that. I'm staying for a few more days."

"It's so expensive! No wonder the line is moving so slowly. Everyone must be debating how many days' worth of money to pay."

"Captain Heng, it's already been paid." Yu Nianqing gently stopped the stingy general behind her from muttering for nearly ten minutes.

Hengxing obediently shut up and followed behind him, curiously looking left and right.

The port of Daxing is truly exceptional.

He glanced back at her and saw her looking down at her feet with a sparkle in her eyes, like a primary school student on her first spring outing.

Given Captain Heng's experienced skill in piloting spaceships, how could she act like she'd never been to a port before?

Yu Nianqing kept her doubts to herself. Everyone has secrets; that's normal.

The two strolled on the glass skybridge, with all sorts of spaceships beneath their feet.

"Why is that area all empty?" Before half a minute had passed, Hengxing spoke again, pointing to the empty space across the overpass and asking him.

“That’s the VIP area,” Yu Nianqing explained.

"Oh, I understand."

The territory of the rich.

It's good to be rich.

As he passed above the VIP area, Yu Nianqing looked down; he usually disembarked his spaceship from here.

The fact that no spaceships were parked in the Yu family's exclusive area calmed his uneasy heart a little. Walking in the sunlight, however, he lacked the composure and peace he should have felt.

"Mr. Yu, where are we going now?" Heng Xing caught up after admiring the scenery for a while.

Yu Nianqing said, "Let's go to the aircraft area first. We can rent a small aircraft to Yula University later. It should take about an hour to get there."

Hengxing glanced at the class schedule that Mr. Liu had sent her. "Professor Wen has a class at 10:30. We can go and listen in to check it out."

Upon arriving at the aircraft area, hundreds of aircraft are neatly arranged, and travelers in a hurry weave among them, selecting the aircraft that catch their eye.

Yu Nianqing found a car with a green light on and drove straight in, and Heng Xing, who knew nothing about it, could only follow.

He took out a anonymous card from his pocket, swiped it on the screen, and entered Yula University as his destination.

The aircraft slowly closed its doors, took off, and began autopilot operation.

Hengxing curiously clung to the glass, watching everything below gradually become distant and insignificant.

That's so advanced. Keze Star doesn't have this kind of convenient high-tech equipment.

"Is this Captain Heng's first time riding in an aircraft?"

"Well, you know I'm very poor. Thank you for inviting me to ride in the flying machine," Heng Xing said shamelessly.

Yu Nianqing smiled but didn't say anything, not caring about her extremely ungentlemanly behavior of making the Omega pay.

When the two arrived at Yula University, Professor Wen's class had already started.

"Oh no, we'd better run!"

Heng Xing ran while looking at the campus map on the terminal.

Yu Nianqing ran halfway with her but ran out of energy. Upholding the spirit of never abandoning her companion, she immediately turned back, grabbed his hand, and forced him to run forward with her.

Yu Nianqing was pulled forward by her, her face pale. She wanted to stop but didn't have the strength to speak.

The Alpha ahead has ridiculously good stamina, like an energetic golden retriever.

"Isn't she tired?" he thought sadly as he watched her retreating figure.

It ran faster and faster.

I felt like a soulless rag doll, helplessly being dragged forward.

Yu Nianqing could only comfort herself in her heart, "We're almost there, we're almost there. We'll be there in the blink of an eye."

The moment they reached their destination, Heng Xing released his hand, wanting to catch his breath with his hands on his hips. Little did he expect that Yu Nianqing wouldn't stop moving forward when he let go. He stumbled forward at his original speed, about to crash violently into the wall.

She quickly pulled him into her arms, and the two of them fell together into the flower bed in front of the teaching building.

One minute later,

"Are you alright?" Hengxing asked.

"It's alright." Yu Nianqing was still panting.

"Can you get up?"

"It should work."

"Get up first, and help me up while you're at it, I'm stuck."

Yu Nianqing: ?

He stood up and found Hengxing lying peacefully in the bushes, the hard branches of the bushes wedged through the gaps in her neck, arms and other places, locking her inside.

"Stop looking, help me up." Hengxing felt a little embarrassed.

Alpha's excellent hearing allowed her to notice that more students had gathered around to watch the commotion, their laughter mingled with the sounds of camera shutters clicking.

"Mr. Yu, we might be about to become famous."

Is this social death?

Forget it, she was already socially dead the day she started impersonating Si Yun.

“If you close your eyes, you won’t be able to see,” Yu Nianqing comforted her, reaching out to pull her out.

Fame is not a good thing for him.

Hengxing: But I can't close my ears.

"That golden retriever has a kind of cute, brain-stem-deficient look. Do you think she'll agree to let me take a picture with her?"

"Hahaha, go ask them, maybe they'll agree."

What are you laughing at? It's not funny.

It turns out that having excellent hearing is also a sin.

"Mr. Yu, I've always thought I had a thick skin, but could you use a little more force?"

"I'm using more force," Yu Nianqing said through gritted teeth, gripping her wrist and trying to pull her out.

"Captain Heng, you're a bit heavy."

"Of course! I'm an Alpha, I can't possibly weigh only 90 pounds!"

Hengxing managed to pull himself out with great difficulty by relying on his strength.

"Hey, classmate, can I take a picture with your girlfriend?" A noisy bystander didn't leave but instead came up to him.

She compared the two and felt that she should ask the other person's partner's opinion first.

"We are not a couple."

Yu Nianqing didn't expect the other party to mistake him for Heng Xing's Omega, so he turned to look at Heng Xing.

Heng Xing was bending over and shaking his head, trying to shake the leaves out of his hair using this primitive method.

She overheard the onlookers' comments: "How is that possible?"

Huh?

"Of course, if you're willing to pay me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Nianqing covered his mouth.

Yu Nianqing dragged her toward the classroom, unable to contain herself any longer, and said, "Let's hurry up, we're already way late."

A note from the author:

Hengxing: Five thousand, I'll take a photo with you, and if you give me more, I can even shoot a video.

Yu Nianqing: ...

I'm late today, sorry everyone.

Recently, with both COVID-19 and my period, I can't write a single word in half a day sitting in front of the computer. It's so uncomfortable.

See you all tomorrow! *kiss*
