"Get out of the way."
The man's voice was low and cold, carrying an irrefutable command.
Song Xi immediately retracted her leg.
Their eyes met. The man's dark pupils cast a fleeting glance at her, then precisely landed on the hand resting on Song Xi's shoulder. But he quickly averted his gaze, though the look was sharp as a blade.
As if sensing something, Lu Chenyu let go as if he had been electrocuted.
When he came to his senses, Lu Chenyu felt the sweat seeping from his palm, his mind a daze.
Just now... what was that chill?
"Song Xi?"
Looking at the man's tall back, Song Xi blinked. She incredulously withdrew her gaze and replied absently, "Huh? What's wrong?"
Lu Chenyu shook his head. Looking at the expression on Song Xi's face, he couldn't help but worry.
What was wrong with her?
Song Xi hadn't expected Lou Yuming to be on this flight. Although he was wearing a hat and a mask, she could still recognize him at a glance.
Since their brief conversation in the hospital room last time, he hadn't appeared again. Only the trench coat he had left behind, which Xiao Mo had already washed and put in the suitcase.
He left, but why would he deliberately leave a piece of clothing, forcing her to tell the truth when Xiao Mo inquired.
However, Xiao Mo was always tight-lipped. She hadn't said a word, but her gaze towards Song Xi was too meaningful, making her unable to cope.
A cold breeze swept past her side, and the faint, tasteless scent of sandalwood briefly stimulated Song Xi's olfactory nerves. She suddenly looked up.
The man had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with long, straight legs. His all-black attire made him appear mysterious and stern.
Even though he was heavily covered, his entire being exuded a charming and elegant aura.
Song Xi had observed that ever since he returned to his seat, the flight attendant beside him had been stealing glances at him, as if hesitating how to strike up a conversation.
Song Xi snorted inwardly. He really was charismatic.
Finally, the flight attendant made her move.
"Excuse me, sir. What would you like to drink?"
Song Xi unconsciously straightened her back and saw him tilt his head slightly. His voice was faint and very low.
"Water."
The flight attendant smiled sweetly. "Alright, please wait a moment."
"Tsk." Seeing this scene, Song Xi couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy. She rolled her eyes.
"Mmm..."
A faint sound came from beside her. Song Xi looked over and saw that Lu Chenyu's face was pale, and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.
Song Xi asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Lu Chenyu found it difficult to speak, but his stomach was churning so violently that he had no choice but to confess everything.
"I... I get airsick."
He usually took motion sickness medication beforehand, but this was a last-minute situation. He had been so focused on Song Xi that he hadn't had time.
Song Xi realized what was happening and quickly called for a flight attendant.
"Excuse me, do you have any motion sickness medication?"
Lou Yuming glanced backward, raised an eyebrow, and gave a slight nod to the flight attendant in front of him. Only then did she reluctantly go to get the medication for Song Xi.
The flight attendant said, "Here you go, miss."
Song Xi replied, "Thank you."
For some reason, she felt that beneath the flight attendant's smiling eyes, there seemed to be a hint of malice, as if she was blaming Song Xi for the interruption.
After Lu Chenyu took the medicine and drank some water, his complexion improved.
Song Xi breathed a sigh of relief. "You can really endure it. Is it very uncomfortable? Why don't you try to sleep for a while? I'll wake you when we arrive."
Lu Chenyu gave a bitter tug at the corner of his mouth. He hadn't expected to become Song Xi's burden in the end. What a disgrace!
"Alright then..."
Lu Chenyu really didn't know what else he could say at this moment to save face, so he silently put on his eye mask.
Ahead, the flight attendant's attempt to strike up a conversation continued.
Finally, the woman deliberately knocked over her water cup, using it as an excuse to lean into the man.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you okay!"
Song Xi: "..."
What a clumsy, melodramatic trick!
