Ning Shu just silently stared at Cheng Fei, and he gazed back at her equally quietly.
Neither of them said anything.
Cheng Fei had finally decided to take Ning Shu to meet his parents.
She didnāt know if heād take her to meet their ghosts or their fakes.
Before they left for the trip, Ning Shu prepared a lot of things. She prepared daggers, medicine powders, and so on.
This time, sheād definitely force Cheng Fei to expose his fox tail.
On the day of departure, Cheng Fei lifted his suitcase and went downstairs to wait for Ning Shu.
Ning Shu went downstairs with her bags and walked in front of Cheng Fei.
Cheng Fei took Ning Shuās bags and carried one in each hand.
Ning Shu walked beside Cheng Fei and asked, āShould I buy something for your parents? Since Iām their daughter-in-law, I must buy something when I visit them.ā
āThereās no need for that. My parents are very easygoing. If you want to buy them gifts, you can wait until we get off the plane. After all, we already have so much luggage.
āOr you can also just wait and go shopping with them. You can just pay for what they like.ā Cheng Fei turned his head towards Ning Shu and smiled. āBy the way, did you bring any money with you? Iāll give you my card.ā
Ning Shu: ā¦
How could he discuss dead people in such a relaxed manner, like they were just off living their best life?
Ning Shu really wanted to offer a kneel. It was the first time that sheād met a person like Cheng Fei.
He didnāt even look the slightest bit unnatural.
If Ning Shu hadnāt found out that Cheng Feiās adoptive parents were dead, she wouldāve really believed that they were still around.
Cheng Fei and Ning Shu boarded the plane. Soon, the plane departed.
Ning Shu looked at the white clouds outside the window.
āAi Yun, I want to apologize to you for something,ā Cheng Fei whispered to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu nodded. āWhat is it?ā
āRegarding your mental illness, I asked several experts to diagnose you, and everyone told me the same thingāthat you have persecution delusions, soā¦ā
āSo what?ā Ning Shu stared at Cheng Fei.
Honestly speaking, mental disorders were not easy to identify and diagnose. The person next to her right now, for example, looked like a normal person, but was he?
Ning Shu felt that he was not normal at all.
āAbout the camerasā¦ I know they made you unhappy, and I apologize for that. I just hope that you wonāt mention this incident in front of my parents.ā
Ning Shu: ā¦
Damn. Was Cheng Fei really going to take her to hell? From how serious he was, Ning Shu nearly believed that sheād really meet his parents.
She nodded. āI wonāt say anything. Donāt worry.ā
Ning Shu pulled down her sleep mask and covered her eyes. She could smell the faint aroma of disinfectant on Cheng Feiās body.
There was also some bitter scent from the Western medicine he used.
Seeing that Ning Shu didnāt want to talk to him, Cheng Fei could only sigh.
He reached out and grabbed Ning Shuās hand. His palm was sweaty.
Ning Shu took off the sleep mask and saw that Cheng Feiās face was pale. āAre you afraid of heights?ā
Cheng Fei forced a smile to his face. āI am.ā
Ning Shu didnāt believe him. Not even the slightest bit.
Wasnāt he just trying to trick her? He was afraid when he was on the plane, but didnāt he live in a skyscraper? He didnāt seem so afraid of heights then.
Ning Shu caringly comforted him. āDonāt be afraid.ā
āWhen a plane crashes, it wonāt tumble around like a car.ā
Cheng Fei: ā¦
These were no comforting words.
Cheng Fei kept holding onto Ning Shuās hand on the plane. His palm was extremely sweaty, and it made Ning Shu very uncomfortable. When they got off the plane, she quickly wiped her hand with a tissue.
Cheng Feiās face was so pale that he seemed about to faint, but Ning Shu didnāt even know if he was faking it or not.
Cheng Fei was too confusing.
