Chapter 276 The Country Bumpkin Duo

Upon seeing this, Zhao Youliang was stunned: "What the heck? Brother Gou has vanished?!"

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the big yellow dog hadn't "evaporated," but had instead transformed into a palm-sized plush dog that had fallen onto the back seat of the car.

The dozen or so little puppies clinging to him became even smaller, like two rows of thorns on a dog's back.

Overall, the dog plush toy does resemble a saber-toothed dinosaur.

"Is it really that amazing?!" Zhao Youliang said, trying to pick up the dog plush toy to take a closer look, but a loud yelp came and bit his finger tightly.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

"Brother Dog, Brother Dog, let go! It hurts! I'm bleeding!"

After Zhao Youliang pleaded repeatedly, the big yellow dog finally let go of his mouth, but it still barked incoherently at him.

They traveled in silence. After seeing Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan off at the airport, Li Mao reluctantly parted ways with them.

At the same time, he took out the bottled water and sausages he had prepared in advance from the trunk and stuffed them all in.

"Quantum, Xiao Liao, you two should come back soon."

"It's so boring being at home by myself!"

Zhao Youliang nodded with a smile and pushed the large bag of things that Li Mao had prepared back to him.

"Xiao Li, are you stupid? They have water and food on the plane, it's free!"

"I researched it online yesterday!"

"Oh? Is that so!" Li Mao felt a little ashamed of his "rustic" manner, and then drove off in a flash.

Watching his friend's departing figure, Zhao Youliang smiled broadly.

Immediately, I hung the dog plush toy around my neck, and with the egg-shaped toy on my head, I headed straight for the ticket exchange point.

Of course, I also looked up the boarding procedures online yesterday, so I wouldn't look clueless.

While Zhao Youliang was busy, Chang Jie above his head kept muttering to himself.

"Oh my god, you can't smoke here, I feel so uncomfortable."

"I can't hold it in any longer..."

What could Zhao Youliang do but keep comforting his little brother Dan?

When they got through security and were about to board, they saw that people in first class didn't have to queue, and Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan cursed under their breath again.

"Bah, evil money, evil capital..."

Because the two boys didn't want to cause trouble, they cursed in very low voices.

Even so, someone in the first-class VIP passage heard it and immediately looked over with a cold smile.

Zhao Youliang and his companion were taken aback, but since they had been the ones to speak out of turn, they could only smile apologetically to quell the situation.

At the same time, he muttered to himself: "Damn, he can hear that? Is that old man some kind of dog spirit?"

The reason he was called "old bastard" was because although he looked to be around sixty years old, he appeared exceptionally sharp.

And he had an arrogant look on his face, looking at everyone around him as if they were country bumpkins.

While waiting in line, Zhao Youliang asked Liao Zhiyuan in a low voice.

"Xiao Liao, you come from a prestigious family, how come this is your first time flying?"

"In novels, aren't people like you usually very rich?"

Liao Zhiyuan blushed when asked the question and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Quantum, you don't know, our New Eight Characters Sect is notoriously poor."

"I don't know what the founder was thinking, but he set a rule: you can't charge money for telling fortunes or reading faces."

"Oh my god, let me put it this way, my master still drives a taxi to supplement his family's income."

"As for those uncles who can't drive and have no life skills, they're so poor they haven't changed their underwear in over a hundred years."

"My clothes are patched upon patched, so much so that they rub against my thighs and testicles when I walk!"

Zhao Youliang: "......"

Once on the plane, in order not to look awkward, Zhao Youliang and his companion tried their best to imitate what others did, starting with putting away their luggage and fastening their seatbelts.

However, it was still like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, everything was new and exciting.

Especially the buttons labeled with English, I didn't recognize any of them, let alone know their specific functions.

Just as Zhao Youliang and his companion were feeling excited and curious, wanting to investigate but also hesitant, a handsome man in uniform walked over.

After carefully examining Zhao and Liao, he leaned down and spoke softly.

"Zhao Youliang, Liao Zhiyuan?"

The two boys were taken aback, and subconsciously nodded repeatedly.

"Who are you? How do you know us?"

The handsome man in uniform beamed with delight upon hearing this, and then whispered five words in Zhao Youliang's ear as if they were secret agents making a rendezvous.

"The old immortal of the Bai family!"

"Huh?!" Zhao Youliang was shocked upon hearing this. If he hadn't been wearing a seatbelt, he would have stood up and bowed.

"Senior Bai, what brings you here too? You can even change your appearance?!"

Upon hearing Zhao Youliang's words, the handsome man in uniform was taken aback at first, and then quickly shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, no, Zhao Youliang, you've misunderstood. I'm not some old immortal, I'm the person he helped, the captain of this flight!"

"The old sage appeared to me in a dream last night, telling me to take good care of you!"

"Oh, by the way, my name is Chen Qi. You can call me Lao Chen or Brother Qi, it's fine either way."

As he spoke, Chen Qi waved to the flight attendant.

"Excuse me, these two are VIPs on this flight. Please upgrade them to first class."

Upgrading means moving from economy class to first class.

The space is more spacious and the service is better.

And so Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan unwittingly enjoyed VIP service.

After getting into first class, they ran into an "acquaintance"—the old guy whose ears were sharper than a dog's.

Zhao Youliang gave an awkward smile. He wanted to strike up a conversation, but the other person just gave him a disgusted look and then turned away.

"groove!"

Zhao Youliang was the kind of person who was gentle on the outside but firm on the inside, so naturally he wouldn't try to win her over again.

After cursing under his breath, he ignored it and turned to chat with Chen Qi.

"Brother Chen, thank you for your help."

"Do you have time when we get there? My brother and I will treat you to a meal."

Chen Qi was clearly a very good person. He did not look down on Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan because of their simplicity and honesty; in fact, he was even more enthusiastic towards them.

"Sure!"

"Let's exchange phone numbers later and keep in touch."

"Well, you guys sit here, I need to get back to work. We'll talk after the plane lands!"

Although Chen Qi had left, the first-class flight attendants were exceptionally warm and polite to Zhao Youliang and Liao Zhiyuan because of him.

She would hand them hot towels to wipe their hands and faces, and then squat down beside the two boys, asking them softly if they wanted anything to drink.

This warm and attentive service even left the two young men somewhat at a loss.

He kept waving his hands, indicating that it wasn't necessary to bother.

At the same time, I thought to myself: So this is what VIP treatment is like...

Just as Zhao Youliang was pondering this, the grasshopper spirit's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Quantum, that old guy sitting next to you is pretty arrogant, he even dared to glare at you."

"Oh my god, I've glared at you two or three times already!"

"Should I, the old sage, show him what's what?!"
