"What's going on?"

Zou Manqing blushed and said, "My time with him is limited. We can only chat briefly on WeChat each day. Occasionally when we have a meal, it's like going to war, everything gets eaten up quickly."

"It's all thanks to you."

Zou Manqing glanced at Lin Jie with some resentment, snorted, and said, "This time, you're going out with Cousin to let loose, abandoning the students, and you're gone for over a week."

"Xiao Ganghao told me he could only spare two days to be with me."

"I was thinking, during those two days, we wouldn't go anywhere and just let him rest well at your apartment."

She sighed and said, "Having spent more time with them, I realized how tiring it is for them to read every day, look up materials, do experiments, and take care of monkeys."

"Becoming a great doctor is really not easy."

Lin Jie said dramatically, "Thank you for your understanding. Tsk-tsk, do you really like Xiao Ganghao so much that you're willing to put up with it? Is it not because of his status?"

"Lin Jie, what do you take me for?"

Zou Manqing was angry, shouting, "Sure, I'm a bit materialistic, but I won't trade a lifetime of happiness for comfort. After getting to know Xiao Ganghao, I found out he's a very kind person, quite awkward but gentle…"

Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't take it anymore and said with some sarcasm, "If it weren't for knowing the president of Binhai University is his uncle, Xiao Ganghao probably wouldn't have even had a chance to get close to you!"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this!"

Lin Jie quickly tried to mediate, saying, "Ling Mengjiao, Zou Manqing, you're welcome to invite your friends to the apartment to hang out, hosting events is also fine."

"Hey, Ling Mengjiao, do any of my male students catch your eye? With your skills, if you pursue them, you're bound to succeed!"

Ling Mengjiao chuckled softly and said, "I've been working for less than a year, I'm not in a hurry…"

At 8:40, Qin Gang arrived at the apartment to pick up Lin Jie and the others.

There were three identical large outdoor travel backpacks, each packed to the brim.

Lin Jie weighed one and estimated that each must be at least twenty pounds.

He tried one on and felt that while he could handle the weight, trekking and climbing with it might be too challenging…

Lin Jie guessed that in less than an hour, he would be exhausted.

However, seeing Lin Miao and Zhang Xiaoxiao's faces full of excitement, Lin Jie refrained from persuading them otherwise.

Going on a trip is all about experiencing and having fun. When you're tired, just rest wherever you are; even setting up camp is an option. They've packed comprehensively, it's not like they have to reach a specific destination.

Lele seemed to sense that its owners were going on a trip, staying close to the Lin siblings, rubbing against Lin Jie and Lin Miao's legs, worried it would be left behind.

Lin Miao asked one more time to confirm, "Brother, did you bring your medicine?"

"I brought it, I brought it. How could I forget such an important thing? Don't worry unnecessarily!"

Lin Jie answered casually and even patted a small carry-on backpack to reinforce his point.

This small backpack held a phone, charger, camera, tablet, and of course, a pack of discreetly hidden medicine.

Lin Miao bent down to attach the leash to Lele's collar, then straightened up with a commanding gesture and shouted, "Let's go, next stop, the airport!"

Upon her words, Qin Gang swiftly shouldered a backpack, carrying one in each hand, and walked out effortlessly.

This impressed the Lin siblings and Zhang Xiaoxiao greatly with his strength…

The trio and a dog were driven by Qin Gang to Binhai Airport.

They waited only a few minutes before the An sisters arrived.

Both were dressed in sneakers, jeans, and tight T-shirts, with ponytails, large sunglasses, and sun hats, each carrying a similar travel backpack to the Lin siblings, striding in with an easy traveler vibe.

However, their fair necks, smooth skin, and delicate fingers revealed their true pedigree as ladies of a wealthy family.

At 12:10, they completed all formalities and boarded the plane.

In business class, they even purchased a seat for Lele.

After settling their stuff, Lin Miao and An Kemeng put Lele in its seat, happily buckling its seatbelt…

Seeing this, a middle-aged woman seated in the row behind them angrily questioned, "Hey, how did you get a dog on the plane, and in business class no less?"

She wore a delicately made dress, had a round face and legs, with a jade pendant around her neck and a jade bracelet on her wrist.

She continued to sneer, "Planes are for people, not for pets. Don't you have any sense? What if it barks or bites someone?"

Lin Miao glanced at her and said coolly, "My Lele is flying on the plane with all the necessary paperwork. Besides, Lele is well-behaved, never barks, and won't bite anyone."

"How could it not bite? Lele only bites bad people..."

An Kemeng couldn't hold back her irritation and looked at the middle-aged woman provocatively, saying, "Biting bad people who meddle like a dog!"

"You..."

The middle-aged woman glared fiercely at An Kemeng, raising her voice, "Flight attendant, flight attendant..."

Soon a pretty flight attendant arrived, smiling, "Ma'am, hello! Is there anything you need?"

The middle-aged woman pointed at Lele and shouted, "I'm allergic to dogs. I demand that you remove this dog from the plane, or at least move it to economy class, or I'll file a complaint..."

Unable to tolerate this person's blatant lies and unreasonable behavior, Lin Jie stood up and said, "Ma'am, if you were really allergic to dogs, you would be sneezing or showing allergic reactions right now..."

The middle-aged woman sneered, "Since when do you decide when I have allergies?"

"You're not a doctor..."

Lin Jie interrupted her, "Actually, I'm indeed a doctor and a pretty good one at that."

The middle-aged woman sized Lin Jie up suspiciously and then turned her gaze to the flight attendant, saying, "I don't care, I just can't stand having a dog on this plane with me. Remove it immediately, or else..."

"I'll complain to the Civil Aviation Authority..."

The flight attendant looked troubled, accompanying her words with a smile, "Ma'am, pets are allowed to fly as long as they have completed the necessary procedures, in accordance with the Civil Aviation Authority's regulations. We kindly ask for your understanding!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's voice suddenly rose significantly, "Understanding? Who's going to understand me?"

"This time, you must remove the dog from the plane."

"Otherwise, I'll make a big fuss with you..."

At this moment, the captain approached and politely said, "Ma'am, hello! I'm Gao Chuanfu, the captain of this flight. This pet dog is flying in accordance with company regulations, we have no authority to remove it."

"If you truly cannot tolerate it, we are willing to offer you a complimentary ticket transfer service, what do you think?"

"What? Are you trying to kick me off the plane..."

"This is infuriating... absolutely infuriating..."

The middle-aged woman's voice grew louder and louder.

The captain's face turned stern and said seriously, "Ma'am, please calm down!"

"Otherwise, to ensure the smooth departure of this flight, we will have no choice but to call in the air marshal and take enforcement measures."

As soon as he said this, the middle-aged woman fell silent immediately, lowering her voice significantly and muttering grievances, "You're all bullying me, you're all bullying me…"

"Ma'am…"

A bald man seated in the front row stood up and called out, "If you don't mind, how about we switch seats? Sitting in my spot, you won't even see that adorable little dog."

With an easy way out, the middle-aged woman glared at Lin Jie, An Kemeng, the flight attendant, and others, grabbed her bag, and moved to the front row.

The bald man quickly removed a small suitcase, walked over with a smile, and said, "Hello, Expert Lin! I'm Zhong Dajiang, I've heard so much about you, never thought I'd meet you on a plane!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhong!" Lin Jie responded politely.

Zhong Dajiang simply greeted Lin Jie, then stopped bothering them and quietly took his seat.

The unreasonable conflict dissipated just like that.

The airplane took off on time, soaring into the sky…

The flight from Binhai to the capital of Chuansi Province took an hour and a half.

After having the lunch provided by the flight attendants, Lin Jie felt a bit sleepy and was about to take a nap when a flight attendant came over, leaned down, and whispered, "Mr. Lin, our captain would like to invite you to see the cockpit!"
