"Lanlan, you are really amazing. How can you be so smart and think of so many things all at once?" Sudan was amazed by Xia Lan.
Her judgment, her handling of affairs, and her wit completely captivated the Sultan, making him her devoted fan.
“You can do it too, just pay more attention to your surroundings,” Xia Lan said with a smile, looking at Sudan.
"You're so beautiful, and you're all alone out there, so you need to be a little wary of everything. Don't walk alone at night, and keep a certain distance and be vigilant towards everyone who gets close to you, whether they are adults or children."
"The reason why human traffickers can succeed is because those women lower their guard. The traffickers take advantage of their sympathy to reduce their vigilance, and then lure them to a secluded place to carry out the next step."
"To achieve their goals, they need to get close to you, gather information about you, and obtain your basic information. Once they find that you have lowered your guard, they will take action."
Xia Lan taught the Sultan how to distinguish.
Sudan has the appearance of an exotic beauty, but her personality is innocent, lively and sincere, making her the easiest target.
Sudan listened attentively to Xia Lan's words. When Xia Lan described what human traffickers might do, his face turned pale with fright, but he did not stop her and insisted on listening to Xia Lan finish speaking.
“I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous outside. What Father said wasn’t as scary as what you said…” Sultan said with lingering fear. What her father said was just a brief summary, unlike Xia Lan’s detailed explanation.
After hearing Xia Lan's words, the Sultan began to doubt the world.
“Actually, as long as you stay vigilant, you won’t necessarily encounter it, but you must be aware of it,” Xia Lan said, patting Sudan on the shoulder reassuringly.
Some things are called being prepared for a rainy day.
You may not encounter this situation, but if you do, you should understand your situation and make changes or seek help.
If you're clueless and know nothing, you're just a lamb to the slaughter, at anyone's mercy.
"I see, I understand." Sudan understood Xia Lan's meaning and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sometimes we can discover a lot of wonderful things, but we are girls, and we are naturally not as strong as men, so we have to learn to protect ourselves."
"The security situation is still improving, but there are still many loopholes that criminals can exploit."
"You know so much!" Sudan said admiringly. "My father knows a lot too, but he never tells me."
"He was afraid that you would be scared if he told you! He thought a lot about you and wanted to protect you. He is a gentle and good father."
Xia Lan looked at Sudan with envy. Her father had always protected her, which was why Sudan had such a lovely, warm, and cheerful personality.
Such family affection is truly enviable.
“My father was really good to me. Other girls couldn’t go out to study and just waited to get married, but my father insisted on sending me to school and encouraged me to go out into the world.”
When Sudan spoke of her father, her eyes reddened slightly. She was very scared when she left him for the first time, but he kept encouraging her.
"You have a good father."
Xia Lan's eyes revealed envy.
"Where is your father? Is he good to you?" Sudan asked, looking at Xia Lan.
Xia Lan paused, her eyes dimming.
“My father was killed by a tiger while he was climbing the mountain. My mother couldn’t bear the blow of my father leaving her, and she also died of illness.”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
Sudan's heart tightened, and he quickly apologized to Xia Lan, who was unaware that her family members were already dead.
"It's okay, you didn't do it on purpose."
Xia Lan shook her head and smiled at Sudan.
Sudan looked like a child who had done something wrong, his head bowed in distress.
"Don't say that. I'm having a hard time right now. My husband loves me very much and treats me very well."
Xia Lan grasped Sudan's hand and said earnestly.
"Really?" Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, Sudan finally raised his head, his eyes reddening.
Xia Lan felt a warmth in her heart and nodded, holding Sudan's hand.
"Have you forgotten? The rice ball I just treated you to was prepared by him."
"He's very tall and handsome, and he's excellent at housework. With him, I don't have to worry about anything..."
Xia Lan thought of Qin Yu, her eyes filled with longing.
Seeing Xia Lan's condition, the Sultan believed it.
“Your eyes light up when you talk about him, and I can tell from your tone of voice that he treats you very well. You must love each other very much.”
Sudan could still tell what it meant to love someone. When Xia Lan mentioned her husband, her whole body shone with light, and her eyes were full of tenderness.
"Mm," Xia Lan replied.
"I can somewhat understand why you looked so sad when you got on the bus. You must be feeling terrible about leaving him."
Sudan recalled Xia Lan's heartbroken expression as she sat by the window when she got on the train; her brokenness was agonizing. That's why she spoke up, afraid that Xia Lan might do something rash.
"I feel a little sad, it's the first time I've been away from him for so long."
Xia Lan nodded in agreement, leaving Qin Yu as if she were truly venturing into the world alone.
Everything was unknown, and without his protection, she could no longer act recklessly.
Growing up overnight.
"I envy you. I wish I could find a partner who loves me so deeply." Sultan said with a hint of envy.
“You will find it!” Xia Lan said with a smile.
"Hehe, I also think I can find it."
Sudan affirmed.
"Hello, comrade..." Bai Xiao came over wanting to find Sudan, but saw Sudan and Xia Lan laughing and joking. He carefully stepped forward and said.
"It's you!" Sudan looked up and saw Bai Xiao. He glanced at him in realization, then turned back to introduce him to Xia Lan.
"Lanlan, this is the flight attendant who grabbed the man."
“We’ve met before.” Bai Xiao saw Xia Lan and recognized her as the man she had told him about, the one who was suspicious.
It was only after hearing what she said that he went to the restroom to see what the man was doing, and he went there with a skeptical attitude.
Then he encountered the Sultan, who entrusted him with the items and gave him full authority to handle them.
That made him a hero.
“Hmm.” Xia Lan glanced at Bai Xiao, noticing his gaze fixed on Sudan, and chuckled.
"What do you need us for?" Xia Lan asked curiously.
"Well..." Bai Xiao was about to say that Xia Lan and the others had helped catch the criminals and should be rewarded.
Xia Lan quickly gestured for Bai Xiao to stop, and Bai Xiao looked at Xia Lan and shut his mouth.
Xia Lan looked at Bai Xiao and said, word by word.
"Flight attendant, we just did what we were supposed to do. As long as the final result is good, that's all that matters."
Sultan nodded in agreement with Xia Lan, feeling that Xia Lan must have her reasons for doing this, and she would listen to Xia Lan.
"We are women, and it's not easy for us to make enemies when we're out and about."
Bai Xiao paused, then gave Xia Lan a deep look.
