The Little Schemes of First Class

Keeping promises had always been one of Su Bai's finest qualities.

Since he had promised to take Ke Yujia to relive the childhood joy of pushing a shopping cart, Su Bai decisively had Xia Lin arrange the itinerary.

Jiangcheng was located in the south, and any trace of ice and snow had long vanished by early spring. Therefore, the destination was set at a top-tier private ski resort in the north.

It was the perfect opportunity to have some fun during the gap before the new semester started.

The next morning, Su Bai's exclusive Panamera pulled up smoothly outside the VIP terminal of Jiangcheng International Airport.

Today, Ke Yujia was wearing an incredibly soft, pure white turtleneck sweater, layered under a short down jacket with a fur collar, and slim fleece-lined leggings paired with delicate snow boots.

This fluffy outfit made her already petite and exquisite figure look even more like a pitiful, adorable little white rabbit.

Guided by the exclusive ground staff, the two smoothly passed through the VIP channel and boarded the flight heading north.

Naturally, Su Bai had directly booked the two best adjoining private suites in the first-class cabin of this large wide-body passenger plane.

The first-class seats were wide and comfortable, like small luxury sofas, equipped with various massage functions and a giant entertainment screen in front.

When the middle partition was lowered, the two seats formed an extremely private and spacious double space.

"Brother Su Bai, the seats here are so big, much more spacious than the first-class seats on the high-speed rail..."

Like a curious baby, Ke Yujia carefully touched the high-quality leather texture of the seat, her clear eyes full of wonder.

In the past, when she went out for competitions with the county dance team, the best she got was economy class or a slow green train. This was her first time experiencing this level of flight treatment.

"Once the takeoff stabilizes, the seat can be completely flattened into a bed. You can get a good sleep; it will take about three hours to get to the ski resort."

Su Bai smiled and rubbed her head, casually helping her fasten her seatbelt.

"Good morning, distinguished guests, welcome aboard..."

Accompanied by the gentle and sweet cabin broadcast, several tall, beautiful first-class flight attendants walked over with elegant paces to do the final safety checks and service before takeoff.

These flight attendants who were qualified to serve in first class were all carefully selected out of thousands.

Wearing extremely well-fitted aviation uniforms, with exquisite makeup and meticulous hair buns, their every movement exuded the dignity and elegance of professional women.

A flight attendant smiled and walked over to Su Bai and Ke Yujia's suite, leaning forward slightly, her voice as gentle as water: "Mr. Su, Miss Ke, would you like something to drink before takeoff? We have prepared freshly squeezed juice, warm water, and champagne for you."

"Give her a glass of warm water," Su Bai said calmly.

The flight attendant nodded in acknowledgment and soon brought a glass of warm water at the perfect temperature, handing it to Ke Yujia with both hands, before elegantly stepping away without any hesitation.

However, Su Bai keenly noticed that from the moment these flight attendants appeared, his little childhood sweetheart's demeanor became a bit unusual.

Sitting in the spacious seat, Ke Yujia held the water cup tightly with both hands, her originally relaxed body becoming a bit stiff.

Her doe-like eyes couldn't help but secretly peek into the cabin aisle.

Whenever a flight attendant passed by or stopped to serve other guests, her eyes would instantly become alert, as if she were guarding against some terrifying monster.

Even after the plane took off smoothly and cruised steadily at an altitude of ten thousand meters, Ke Yujia's secret observation not only didn't stop but became even more frequent.

Leaning against the backrest, Su Bai found her tense appearance somewhat amusing.

"What's wrong, little maid?"

Su Bai reached out and gently pinched her face, which was slightly tight from nervousness. "Since boarding, your eyes haven't moved away from those flight attendants. Don't tell me you think their uniforms look nice and want to work part-time as one?"

"Ah? No... no I don't!"

Having her little actions exposed by Su Bai, Ke Yujia was startled and quickly withdrew her gaze. Like a child caught doing something wrong, a blush instantly flew onto her cheeks.

"If not, then what are you so nervous about?" Su Bai turned sideways, looking at her leisurely, a hint of an inquiring smile in his deep eyes. "Tell the truth, otherwise the young master will punish you."

Hearing the word punish, the image of the trial room with hanging straps in the basement of the clubhouse instantly flashed in Ke Yujia's mind, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Biting her tender lower lip, her two small hands unconsciously twisted the hem of her sweater. After hesitating for a long time, she finally squeezed out a sentence like a humming mosquito:

"I... I saw someone say online... that the flight attendants in first class are all... all very good at judging people based on their wealth."

Ke Yujia secretly lifted her eyelids, glancing at Su Bai, her voice getting smaller and smaller. "The internet says that if they see a rich young master sitting in first class who is as young, rich, and handsome as Brother Su Bai... they will... they will secretly slip a small piece of paper with their WeChat ID and room number inside when handing over towels or drinks to hook up..."

"I... I was afraid they would also take advantage of my inattention to secretly pass notes to Brother Su Bai..."

After hearing this extremely serious defensive reasoning from his little childhood sweetheart, Su Bai was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't hold it back anymore, bursting into low, dumbfounded laughter.

He never expected that the reason this girl was so nervous and on high alert all the way was actually to guard against this kind of melodramatic gossip!

Seeing that Su Bai not only didn't explain but laughed so hard his chest was vibrating, Ke Yujia was instantly so ashamed and annoyed that her face was almost dripping blood.

"Brother Su Bai! You're still laughing! That's what it says online!" She unwillingly stretched out her small pink fist and gently punched Su Bai's chest. "Those flight attendant sisters are so tall, have long legs, and such good figures. What if... what if you really accept the note..."

The more she spoke, the more a hint of aggrieved jealousy crept into the little girl's voice.

As an extremely insecure girl who considered herself invisible, she instinctively felt a trace of inferiority and crisis when facing these glamorous professional women.

"Alright, alright, I'll stop laughing."

Su Bai stopped smiling and domineeringly pulled this jealous little rabbit into his arms, making her sit on his lap.

"You, you should watch less of those clickbait gossip videos. Those are all unorthodox rumors from decades ago or from some unrated small airlines."

Su Bai gently pinched her delicate chin and explained patiently, "Top airlines nowadays have extremely strict assessments for their first-class flight attendants. They are highly paid and receive the most professional training. For them, the most important professional quality is not to disturb the passengers. The higher the status of the guest, the more they value their privacy. They would absolutely never risk receiving a complaint and getting fired just for some fleeting chance to climb the social ladder by doing something so meaningless."

"Not to mention..."

Su Bai lowered his head and affectionately rubbed the tip of his nose against hers, his tone filled with endless doting. "Your young master already has such a beautiful, cute, and incredibly flexible little personal maid sitting right next to him. What flight attendant would be so blind as to come over and hand me a note, only to make a fool of herself?"

"Really... they really won't slip you notes?" Ke Yujia blinked, the jealousy in her eyes gradually melting into a sweet shyness.

"Of course not. If you don't believe me, just keep watching." Su Bai smiled and pecked her on the lips.

Facts proved that Su Bai was absolutely right.

Over the next few hours of the flight, the first-class flight attendants displayed an incredibly comforting level of professionalism.

Aside from bringing a perfectly timed, incredibly soft cashmere blanket and a cup of warm milk when Ke Yujia felt a bit chilly, they acted like they were invisible for the rest of the time. As long as Su Bai didn't press the call button, they absolutely never lingered near their private suite, let alone make eyes at him or slip him little notes.

That extremely restrained and attentive service finally allowed Ke Yujia's anxious little heart to completely settle.

"So I really was just overthinking it... How embarrassing..."

Ke Yujia muttered to herself in her mind, her cheeks burning. However, feeling Su Bai's domineering yet fiercely protective reassurance from earlier, her heart felt as sweet as honey.

With all her defenses and tension completely stripped away, the exhaustion from being pushed to her physical limits by Su Bai at the clubhouse over the past few days finally washed over her.

The cabin lights had already been dimmed.

Like an obedient little kitten, Ke Yujia curled up in Su Bai's broad, warm embrace.

Pressing her cheek tightly against his broad, solid shoulder, she listened to his steady, powerful heartbeat, her breathing gradually becoming even and deep.
