Skydiving Suits and Senior White's Misunderstanding
"Guoguo, Senior White Senior White and I need to go out for a bit in a while. You stay home and watch the house. We'll take you to the hospital when we get back, okay?" Song Shuhang asked after stuffing all the bread into his mouth.
If it were a normal flight training course, bringing Guoguo along would be fine. But since it was about learning to fly with Senior White, Song Shuhang didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.
The young monk patted his chest confidently and said, "No problem, I'm absolutely fine guarding the house."
Song Shuhang nodded, then glanced at Doudou, who was watching the news on the computer, and felt a little more at ease.
After breakfast, Song Shuhang did his morning exercise as usual. After several rounds of the Vajra Foundation Fist, half an hour had passed.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Is the agent that Senior Yellow Mountain mentioned here?" Song Shuhang went out to open the door and saw a blonde, blue-eyed Western woman standing at the door.
The blonde woman glanced at Song Shuhang, then looked at the document in her hand, checked it, and looked up with a professional smile, "Hello, are you Mr. Song Shuhang?"
With such clear and articulate pronunciation, are all foreigners' Chinese skills this good these days? How can many China people who can't distinguish between retroflex and alveolar consonants possibly accept this?
"That's me," Song Shuhang replied.
"Hello, I'm Catherine from Jiangshui Civil Aviation Training Center. I've been asked by Mr. Huang Wenzhong to take you two to the aviation training center for flight theory and flight training." Catherine smiled slightly and snapped her fingers.
Two men in suits carried a large box off her back.
"This is the 'flight suit' and accompanying oxygen supply equipment you requested, Mr. Shuhang. Please check it." Catherine's eyes were filled with curiosity—she couldn't understand why learning to fly required a 'flight suit'. It wasn't like flying a spaceship; how could one comfortably pilot an aircraft while wearing such a bulky suit?
However, customers are paramount, especially powerful ones. She wouldn't be foolish enough to contradict a customer's opinion—after all, that wealthy man named Huang Wenzhong had bought their entire flight training center in one go, just to provide exclusive services to this seemingly ordinary college student and another Mr. 'Song Bai'.
"Also, is Mr. Song Bai with you?" Catherine inquired.
"He's right behind you. Would you like to come in and sit for a bit?" Song Shuhang said as he walked over to the large box, opened it, and looked inside at the bulky 'spacesuit'.
It looks so bulky—when will they ever develop one of those spacesuits from sci-fi movies that you wear and then turn into a bodysuit with the push of a button?
Catherine maintained her smile, "Our training center is a bit far from here, and we'll be a little short on time. So, I suggest we go directly to the flight training center. We can spend an hour reviewing the theoretical knowledge there, and then quickly arrange for you to get on a plane and familiarize yourselves with the controls. Our training center has various types of aircraft; you can choose whichever you prefer to learn on."
"Many different types of aircraft? Not bad." Song Shuhang's eyes lit up. Perhaps he could choose a small helicopter for learning? That way, he wouldn't have to worry about Senior White flying the plane into space.
"I hope you are satisfied. Then, here are your and Mr. Song Bai's Class II Medical Certificate and Private Pilot License (PPL). Please keep them safe." Catherine handed over the certificates and pilot's licenses.
After receiving the four certificates, Song Shuhang was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
I've never even touched a plane, and I already have my pilot's license... This feeling is a mix of exhilaration, embarrassment, joy, and guilt.
Catherine remained calm and asked, "Where is Mr. Song Bai? We can leave at any time."
"I'll tell him to come down." Song Shuhang put away the four certificates, then turned around and waved towards the third floor behind him.
A moment later, Senior White calmly came downstairs.
Although the senior appeared calm, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
Compared to cars, the senior seemed more interested in airplanes; he wasn't this excited when he was learning about cars.
"Please get in, both of you." Catherine drove up in a Pika truck.
Two men in suits placed Song Shuhang's bulky 'spacesuit' in the back of the car.
Song Shuhang climbed into the back seat of the Pika and stretched.
Senior White got into the car.
However, as he got into the car, he glanced at the person in the 'spacesuit' behind him.
Then, Senior White's face showed a look of sudden realization.
Senior White thought to himself, "Is that a spacesuit? Young friend Song Shuhang, do you want to go and have some fun in space?"
How should I put it...
After the previous incident where his car accelerated too fast, resulting in brake failure and a broken steering wheel, Senior White has been repenting and reforming himself in the past few days.
When he decided to learn how to fly an airplane this time, he was determined to study the theoretical knowledge of how to fly an airplane diligently and then master the skills of flying.
This time, he will absolutely not inscribe any formations on the plane. During the flight, he will also restrain himself from the urge to dismantle the plane!
In short, we must not cause any trouble for Song Shuhang!
At most, once he's mastered flying, he'll build his own plane and then freely decorate it with various formations and runes, flying happily through the sky.
This is the resolve that Venerable White has made in the past few days.
With Venerable White's cultivation level, he still has this much self-control once he makes up his mind to do something.
But when he saw the spacesuit behind him, he blinked—was Shuhang planning to fly into space and play?
After Senior White got into the car, Catherine started the Pika and headed towards the 'Jiangshui Civil Aviation Training Center'.
Throughout the journey, Song Shuhang sat upright in the car, secretly circulating the 'True Self Meditation Scripture' to adjust his state to its best. At the same time, he also wore the 'Soul-Sealing Ice Pearl' around his neck to keep his mind clear at all times.
He has adjusted his mindset and is ready at any time—he wouldn't be surprised if Senior White landed on the moon in a plane, let alone leave Earth.
At this moment, Venerable White tentatively asked, "Shuhang, is that a spacesuit in the back of the car? Is it for you?"
"Haha, yes," Song Shuhang said with a smile, "I specially asked Senior Yellow Mountain to prepare that for me—because I've admired astronauts since I was very young. When we were about to fly the plane this time, I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered this thing. So I asked Senior Yellow Mountain to prepare one for me so I could have some fun!"
Song Shuhang had no choice but to lie—after all, given his kind-hearted nature, he simply couldn't bring himself to say something hurtful like, "Senior White, I'm worried you might fly the plane into space, so I've prepared a spacesuit just in case!"
"Oh." Venerable White nodded secretly... So young friend Shuhang has been interested in astronauts since he was very young. That makes sense; the vast Earth is full of mystery, let alone the boundless universe, which attracts people's attention and curiosity even more.
"Does young friend Shuhang like the universe?" Venerable White asked.
"Well, if I had to say, of course I like it," Song Shuhang replied after thinking for a moment. He was very interested in the mysterious universe, black holes, meteorites, comets, and the moon.
"If you had the chance, would you like to go there for a visit?" Venerable White asked, while a sense of anticipation stirred within him.
Song Shuhang was taken aback—wait a minute, this topic isn't right!
Why do I sound like I really want to go to space for fun? No, I have to subtly convey to Senior White that 'I don't want to go to space for fun right now'.
After thinking for a moment, Song Shuhang replied tactfully, "Maybe later. If there's a chance in the future, it wouldn't be bad to go to space. But right now, I can't go. After all, even with a spacesuit, I can't stay in space for very long."
"That makes sense." Senior White nodded.
Seeing Senior White's reaction, Song Shuhang breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed Senior White had given up on the idea of going to 'universe'.
Looks like we've managed to avoid this for now?
At this moment, Catherine, who was in front, sighed inwardly.
The truly wealthy are different. While others are still thinking about flying airplanes for fun, the truly wealthy are already thinking about how to travel to space.
How enviable!
As she pondered, she glanced at Venerable White secretly. This man named Song Bai was truly handsome.
Even though there are differences in aesthetic standards Western, the handsomeness of this man named Song Bai has reached a level that transcends these differences.
"How wonderful it would be to be his girlfriend!" Catherine swallowed hard—wait a minute, when did I become so infatuated? How could a man I'd only just met, who I hadn't even exchanged a single word with, give me this inexplicable feeling of love at first sight?
No, it must be because of the way I got out of bed this morning.
Catherine forcibly suppressed her strange thoughts, but her gaze still kept drifting towards the Venerable White's appearance through the rearview mirror.
In fact, Catherine is lucky, because Senior White has recently been able to control his aura and charm.
Otherwise, if it were the True Lord White had just emerged from seclusion in the past, he would have found a whole new batch of girls who would say, "I will keep my long hair for you, let it hang loose for you to tie it up, and I will marry no one but you!"
Even some female cultivators with weak willpower couldn't resist this fatal temptation.
************
The Jiangshui Civil Aviation Training Center is located in the suburbs and covers a large area.
Catherine led Song Shuhang and Venerable White into the training center, where the first thing they saw was a huge airport at the back. This was just one of several airports at the Jiangshui Civil Aviation Training Center, where six small private helicopters were parked.
"I'll take you both to a theoretical training session first, and then you can use the simulator for flight training. After you've gotten used to it, you can choose your preferred aircraft, and we'll clear the runway for you to use," Catherine explained with a smile.
Catherine went to great lengths to select flight instructors who were willing to teach two rookies and were not afraid of death!
Please give me some recommendation votes to calm my nerves. My updates have been getting later and later lately; something's not right.
