Days above the clouds—it was impossible to tell what day it was.
When the Gulfstream took off, climbed, and finally rose above the clouds, everything fell quiet.
Outside the window stretched endless layers upon layers of cloud.

It was the same view one could see from a commercial airliner, yet seeing it from the Gulfstream now carried an entirely different feeling.

"What are you doing?" Bai Jingyi asked, blinking.
