「The next morning.」
Qin Heng and Su Xiao boarded the plane bound for Yu State together. Both had booked first-class tickets, expecting a quiet journey to Kaifeng. However, to their surprise, the young couple sitting next to them turned out to be chatterboxes. They started making conversation with Qin Heng and Su Xiao right after boarding.
"Are you also going to Kaifeng? Let me tell you, Kaifeng is a great place!" the girl in the couple exclaimed, her face alight with enthusiasm. Her name was Yu Jiaqi; she had above-average looks and a decent figure, scoring around six or seven out of ten. A Kaifeng local, she was a junior at Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture. This trip was a homecoming for her, and she was also taking the opportunity to introduce her boyfriend to her family.
Yu Jiaqi's boyfriend, Sun Kai, was her classmate. He was a rather handsome, clean-cut young man with glasses and a scholarly air, sitting right beside her.
