Chen Mo's smile was so warm and bright that Su Wan felt the gloom that had been hanging over her heart because of the series of plane crashes, the survival on the deserted island, and the death of the old Chairman all disappear completely in this warm, sunny smile.

When she came to her senses, she realized that Chen Mo had taken her luggage without her noticing.

"No! I can do it myself! How can I let the boss carry my luggage for me!"

Seeing this, Su Wan quickly stepped forward and reached out her hand, wanting to take the luggage herself. She was there to be Chen Mo's assistant, so she should be the one taking Chen Mo's luggage.

"You haven't officially started working yet, so your current status is that of my guest." Chen Mo waved his hand to stop Su Wan.

"Once you start working, it won't just be about carrying luggage; there will be a lot more for you to do!"

Although Chen Mo had tried to be more reserved, he still exuded an aura of authority and power. Coupled with his previous role as a savior on the deserted island, Su Wan had no choice but to withdraw her slender hand and follow Chen Mo past the crowd of people waiting at the airport toward the parking lot.

He hadn't gone far when Chen Mo suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Chen Mo couldn't help but turn his head and look over, and found a tall girl squeezed at the very back of the crowd of people picking up passengers. She was holding a sign in her hand and raising it high in front of her.

Although she wasn't short, Chen Mo didn't notice her when she came over because she was in the most crowded area of the airport arrivals and was on the inner side closest to the passageway.

Now that some people had already left, the crowd had thinned out, and Chen Mo finally saw her, but only from behind.

Looking at the somewhat familiar yet completely unfamiliar figure, Chen Mo frowned and tried to recall, but couldn't match it with the person in his memory.

"What's wrong, boss?"

Su Wan, who was standing next to Chen Mo, noticed his unusual behavior and turned to look at the crowd of people picking him up at the airport. However, she didn't find anything unusual and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, let's go."

Since he couldn't figure it out, Chen Mo didn't intend to go forward and find out. There are many people with similar builds, and many people will mistake one person for another. Moreover, even if he really knew him, it would be the Chen Mo of the past, not the current Black Chen. It would be inappropriate and meaningless for him to rush forward.

Even if it's someone you know, you can't acknowledge them anyway, it just adds to your troubles.

At worst, I can just have J.A.R.V.I.S. check it when I have time, if he hasn't forgotten and still wants to know.

Chen Mo didn't take the matter too seriously. He turned around and strode away with Su Wan.

Not long after they left, two familiar figures walked briskly out of the passage. If Chen Mo and Su Wan were still there, they would have noticed them very quickly.

Because these two people are Zhang Xin and Xu Qing, who spent more than two months with them on the deserted island!

More than two months have passed since the two last flew to Los Angeles. Time has gone from the height of summer to early autumn, and the two little girls have changed from T-shirts and shorts to autumn clothes.

However, the two of them remained unchanged, still sunny and lively, showing no signs of having just experienced a plane crash or suffering from Mind Stone trauma.

They didn't seem to have any psychological trauma from airplanes, making one wonder if they had experienced a fake plane crash.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense. The two girls were naturally carefree and optimistic. When the plane crashed, they were immediately knocked unconscious by the shock and weightlessness. Although they vaguely woke up once, they were quickly terrified again by the bloody scene. When they finally woke up, they were already outside the plane. Their memory of the entire crash was very vague; for them, it was more like a dream.

Life on the island was like having a cheat code. Although they were never full, they were never too hungry. Whenever they had too little to eat, an "airdrop" would appear next to them. They survived the difficult time on the deserted island by sheer luck.

Although they have to work hard every day collecting food on the beach, they actually enjoy it quite a bit: catching crabs, collecting seashells, gathering firewood, grilling fish, building houses, fishing...

These are things they usually want to do but don't have the chance to do. It's like a summer camp. The older brothers and sisters are also very kind. If they weren't homesick, they would have liked to stay on the island for a few more days!

Although there were a few robberies and crises along the way, Chen Mo secretly resolved them all. Later, after Chen Mo appeared directly, they lived a happy life like a beach vacation, and the psychological trauma simply did not exist!

If we're talking about differences, there are some. Although they didn't suffer any Mind Stone trauma on the island, they did endure a lot of hardship, living outdoors and experiencing things they had never experienced before, such as survival, humanity, and good and evil. Their Mind Stone were impacted, and they grew considerably as individuals.

They have learned to be grateful, to unite, to persevere, and to understand the good and evil in the world. They have matured a lot, and these qualities are more reflected in their inner selves. On the surface, the two of them are almost no different from two months ago. When they came out of the passage, their little heads looked around, their eyes full of curiosity about the unfamiliar city.

It seems they are still the two high school graduates who flew to Los Angeles more than two months ago, only this flight took more than two months and they have only just arrived at their destination!

As the two young girls dragged their large suitcases out of the passageway, they saw a tall girl at the very front of the welcoming crowd holding a sign that read "UCLA".

The two women quickly dragged their suitcases forward.

"Hello, senior! We are freshmen here to register!"

"Senior, you're so beautiful!"

Zhang Xin and Xu Qing weren't shy at all, greeting the girls holding up the welcome signs at the airport.

The tall girl looked down at the two lively and adorable children in front of her, put down the welcome sign in her hand, and smiled gently at them.

"Welcome to Los Angeles. I'm your senior, and my name is An Ran."

Chen Mo and Su Wan were unaware of what was happening behind them. Although Su Wan, Zhang Xin, and Xu Qing were on the same flight, Su Wan's ticket was booked by Chen Mo in first class or business class, while Zhang Xin and Xu Qing were in regular economy class.

Moreover, there were three or four hundred passengers on the plane, so the probability of the two sides encountering each other was not very high.
