"No," Zhu Yanyi said, twisting her neck. "I was worried about getting a stiff neck if I slept with my head tilted. So I decided to stand up. Besides, if I sleep now, what will I do at night? This flight is over ten hours long. I need to move around more."
Gu Jingtian smiled. "That makes sense. You should move around. Do you want something to eat? The food on the plane isn't great, but it’s better than nothing."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Gu Jingtian and giggled. "Senior Brother, how did you know I asked Luo Gang to bring good snacks?" She then asked Luo Gang, "Brother Luo, where are the things?"
Luo Gang stood up and smiled. She took a bag from the overhead rack. Zhu Yanyi went over and opened it. Inside were vacuum-packed water chestnuts from Azure Sovereign Qingdi. They were all peeled and ready to eat. Zhu Shunyo had arranged for them to be shipped via logistics after confirming Zhu Yanyi’s departure time. Zhu Yanyi started handing out one pack to each person. Each pack had about ten water chestnuts. They were perfect for snacking.
Zhu Yanyi took two packs for herself, put the rest back in the overhead rack, and gave one pack to Luo Gang. Then she sat back in her seat, opened a pack, and popped one into her mouth.
"You know, your family’s water chestnuts are really good," Gu Jingtian said. He also liked Azure Sovereign Qingdi fruits and vegetables. "Didn’t you say your dad was going to open a Azure Sovereign Qingdi vegetable resale shop in the capital? Why haven’t I seen it open yet?"
"It’s still early. It will open in April or May at the earliest, or maybe June. It’s spring now. The fields are busy. It’s also tea-picking season. My dad loves farming. She needs to finish this batch before she comes here," Zhu Yanyi said, taking another bite of water chestnut.
"Will your dad stay here when he comes?" Dong Bocao asked, eating a water chestnut. He had to admit that Azure Sovereign Qingdi water chestnuts were delicious.
"Not necessarily. She will go back during busy seasons like spring planting and double harvest. My dad can’t sit idle," Zhu Yanyi answered casually while eating. "She also wants to rent fields near the capital. But you know, northern fields and southern fields produce different crops. She needs to study what to plant and how to plant it. I have no experience in that area."
"You could ask local farmers," Gu Jingtian suggested.
Just then, the plane shook. Luoyang Jun lost his grip, and a water chestnut fell from his hand. It rolled far away.
Luoyang Jun stood up quickly to pick it up. Before he could grab it, a military boot stepped on the water chestnut. Crunch. White juice splattered everywhere.
She looked up. A man in green military clothes held a gun in her left hand and grabbed a flight attendant with her right. Her face was full of killing intent. Luoyang Jun was stunned. She slowly said, "Hijacking?"
Those three words made Zhu Yanyi and others look up. They looked at the entrance. It really was a hijacking.
Zhu Yanyi touched her forehead. She had experienced many incidents on trains. Was the incident on the plane too intense? Hijacking? If things went wrong, would she have to visit the Venerable Yanluo again?
"Don’t move," the man said. His speech was stiff. He was not from Huaxia.
"You are not from Huaxia," Zhu Yanyi said without thinking. Realizing her slip, she lightly slapped her own mouth.
