Capture

Jiang Ning steadied the model aircraft while gradually reducing his control over it.

Tongtong's little head and little hands worked together flawlessly. With Jiang Ning's assistance, she gradually mastered the techniques of flying.

Xue Yuantong stood at the door of the single-story house. Ahead of her stretched a vast expanse of lush green Wheat Fields, nearly endless. She worked the joystick as her fighter plane soared through the azure sky, freedom filling her heart.

"Bzzzz!"

The plane dove toward the Wheat Field at tremendous speed. Just as it was about to plunge headfirst into the ground, she pulled back on the joystick, adjusted the elevators, and increased the throttle. The fuselage traced a beautiful upward arc as it was pulled up and shot back toward the sky.

"Dragonfly Skimming Water!" Xue Yuantong cheered excitedly.

A model aircraft was different from an RC car. It was faster, harder to control, and always carried the risk of crashing. With all those factors combined, the thrill was even more intense when the plane roared past.

After several takeoffs and landings and over ten minutes of flying, the first Lithium Battery ran out. Xue Yuantong installed the second battery. Even as she enjoyed herself, she did not forget Chuchu. "Want to try?"

Chuchu was tempted, but reason made her say modestly, "I'll watch you play for a little longer."

Xue Yuantong said, "Okay!"

Once Jiang Ning saw that she could fly, he stopped exerting control. He returned home to study ways to improve the Formation. It was already January, and the Great Cold would arrive soon. He needed to ensure the river surface froze over and fulfill a childhood dream.

Xue Yuantong grew more and more excited. Once she felt her skills were strong enough, she decided to perform a true Dragonfly Skimming Water.
