Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Sir, Seat A is mine, can you let me in?"

Kang Qirui had just sat down in the seat next to the aisle when he heard a voice next to him. He looked up and found that it was the lady he met at the airport gate just now. She looked at the innermost seat and motioned Kang Qirui to stand up so that she could go in. Kang Qirui did not stand up, but smiled and said, "Miss, we are traveling as a family. My wife and daughter went to the bathroom, so could you please change seats with my daughter?"

Kang Siqi's seat was arranged in the F seat next to her, and there was an aisle between Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling. He was worried about his daughter, so he thought about exchanging seats with the lady. "Okay." The lady saw Zhu Wanling and Kang Siqi coming out of the toilet, and nodded and agreed.

Soon after the plane took off, the flight attendants pushed the beverage cart to pour water for the passengers. "Daddy, I want to drink Coke." Kang Siqi heard Tianxiu asked for a cup of Coke and she wanted to drink it too. Kang Qirui touched her head and said helplessly: "Baby, you found the wrong person. Daddy dare not agree to you. You have to find Mommy."

Kang Siqi turned around and pretended to look at Zhu Wanling pitifully, but Zhu Wanling didn't indulge her. She asked the stewardess for a glass of orange juice and said, "Why drink Coke? Drink orange juice."

"Hmph, Daddy, do you love me?" Kang Siqi didn't drink the orange juice, but looked at Kang Qirui and asked.

Kang Qirui frowned, "Well, of course Daddy loves you. Why do you suddenly ask Daddy this question?"

"Hmph, you're lying. You said you loved me, you said you could give me the whole world, but you can't even give me a cup of Coke." Kang Siqi's complaints about Kang Qirui made everyone laugh, even the young lady who had a conflict with the Kang family just now covered her mouth and laughed.

Being laughed at by everyone, Kang Qirui could only hold his forehead in embarrassment. He pointed his finger at Kang Siqi and said unhappily, "You little rascal, drink your orange juice."

At 7:40 p.m. local time, after a long flight, the flight that the Kang family took landed at Saipan International Airport. Because Saipan was unilaterally visa-free for China, everyone passed through customs very quickly and entered the country smoothly. When they came to the luggage carousel, the luggage had not yet come out.

Kang Qirui and his friends waited for a long time before they got their luggage, and then they immediately got on the tour guide's bus to the hotel. When they were in Guangzhou, Kang Qirui found a local tour guide through a travel agency to take charge of their entire itinerary planning. When they arrived at the hotel, Er Lao and Kang Qirui followed the tour guide to check in.

"Grandpa, hurry up and tell your second brother to get a big house, so that everyone can live together happily." After the nanny found out, she told Grandpa. And the old man also said, "That's right, it's best to have six bedrooms and two living rooms, that's enough for living."

"Auntie Dou, do you think this is Xiguan? This is a five-star hotel. Your request can only be met by the presidential suite. Do you know how much the presidential suite costs per night?" A-Zu said.

"How much is it?" asked the old man cooperatively.

A-Zu picked up the hotel brochure next to him, turned to the last page and pointed it to Lao Dou's mother, "Look, it says here, 18888 US dollars a night."

"Wow? Isn't that almost 10 Chinese Yuan?" My dad was shocked and never mentioned living together again.

Soon, Kang Qirui and the second brother came back with a stack of room cards. "For the old lady Dou's wife, the eldest brother's wife, A Yao Xingzi's, A Zu Diana's, and Miss Zhu's. Miss Zhu, please live with my son Tianxiu." The second brother said with a smile on his face when he got the room card to Mrs. Zhu.

"Live with Tianxiu?" Mrs. Zhu wanted to refuse, but seeing that Zhu Wanling kept giving her a look, she had no choice but to agree, "Okay, okay."

Tianxiu has grown up this year. It is not very convenient for him, his second brother, his second sister-in-law and Siyu to sleep in the same room. However, it is no problem for him to share a room with Mrs. Zhu.

The first day of Saipan ended like this. Everyone was exhausted after a whole day of flying, so after a simple dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

At 7: the next morning, everyone got up early and gathered in the hotel lobby. According to the tour guide's itinerary, they were going to take a one-day local tour today. When getting on the bus, Kang Qirui found that the lady he met yesterday was also there, and he smiled and nodded as a greeting.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Tinian Island. This morning I will lead you to visit the overall scenery of Tinian Island and the historical relics of war." After departure, the tour guide introduced today's specific itinerary to everyone.

"Miss the tour guide, I'd like to ask what the special features of this place are?" Sachiko asked with a smile on her face. This was her first trip after getting married and she was very excited.

"The most important feature here is one of the five wonders of the world: the magical blowhole," said the tour guide.

"I know this. The waves here hitting the shore can create fountains dozens of meters high, right?" A-Zu asked.

The Magic Blowhole is known as one of the five wonders of the world and is a must-see attraction for visitors to Saipan. There are many caves of strange shapes here. Among them, there is a row of the largest caves. Whenever the tide hits, in addition to the echo and the amazing loud noise, the sea water will also pass through the hole and spray a column of water several feet high into the air. When the wind and waves are strong, the water column sprayed by the tide can reach up to 18 meters, which is quite spectacular.

The tour guide nodded, "Yes. In addition, we will also show you the historical relics of World War II."

"Wow, sister, are there a lot of planes, cannons and tanks there?" Tianxiu looked expectant.

The tour guide shook his head and said, "There are no planes or cannons anymore, but the most famous thing here is the runway of the U.S. military during World War II. You can visit it in the afternoon." After the U.S. military occupied Saipan during World War II, they built an airport and runway here on Tinian Island, providing a base for B-29 long-range bombers to bomb the Japanese mainland. The two atomic bombs dropped by the U.S. military on Japan were loaded and taken off on Tinian Island, so this runway is still a must-visit spot for many tourists today. Although it is just an ordinary runway and not a scenic spot, its special historical significance is still worth visiting and taking a photo.

While everyone was listening to the guide's introduction to history, Mrs. Zhu suddenly stood up and pointed outside, shouting, "There are coconut trees and papaya trees."

"You scared me to death. What's so strange about coconut trees and melon trees?" The nanny pulled her back to her seat in silence. But Mrs. Zhu was still surprised. "Of course it's strange. I've only heard that Americans drink milk and eat steak. I've never heard that Americans drink coconut water. Isn't it strange to have coconut trees here?"

"Aunt Zhu, you don't know this." Diana, a pure American, laughed, "In recent years, due to the increase in the American and Hispanic populations, the consumption of coconut water in the United States has also been increasing. The United States is almost the largest coconut water consumption market outside of China."

"Oh, I see." Mrs. Zhu was not embarrassed. She changed the subject, waved to the tour guide and said, "Those people outside always have their hands like this. What does it mean?" Mrs. Zhu bent her index, middle and ring finger on her right hand, and stretched out her thumb and little finger, making a six.

"This gesture means greeting in the local area," the tour guide explained. "In the local indigenous language, it is called Hafadai."

Hafadai, Hafadai, Hafadai, everyone started to learn it.

"Everyone remember, when in Rome, do as the Romans do and learn some manners," said the old man with a smile.

Following the guide's arrangement, we visited the basic scenery of Tinian Island in the morning, and visited the magical blowhole and the US military airport runway in the afternoon. When we were at the airport runway, Kang Qirui suggested that the whole family take a family photo on this runway with special significance.

After the third generation of the Kang family was born, the Kang family had never taken a family photo. Therefore, Kang Qirui's proposal was immediately approved by the whole family. They chose the location where the pilot took off that year to take the photo. This was the first family photo of the 18 members of the Kang family.

In the evening, they returned to the hotel and arranged a bonfire party. With the performance of the local indigenous people, everyone in the Kang family had a great time. However, Zhu Wanling's face was not very good. Kang Qirui noticed her abnormality immediately and squatted in front of her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm having my period and it's a bit painful." Zhu Wanling looked helpless.

"Ah? I remember you didn't have your period these days?" Kang Qirui asked in confusion. "Maybe it's because you're not used to the local climate, so it's early." Zhu Wanling was very depressed. The most unpleasant thing about traveling far away is encountering this kind of situation. The sudden change in living environment will also change the human body's advanced nervous system, causing the menstrual cycle to be advanced.

"I'll tell the nanny, and then I'll go up with you first." Kang Qirui was about to go find the nanny, but Zhu Wanling quickly held him back and shook her head, saying, "No, no, it's just your period, not that you're sick. Let's go up together when we all get together."

Zhu Wanling's personality was like this, and Kang Qirui couldn't do anything about her. He sat down next to her and said, "Well, Siqi and Siyu are playing over there, and the second brother and second sister-in-law are watching. I'll get you some hot water." Kang Qirui picked up a tin foil plate, poured half a bottle of mineral water into it, and put it on the grill in front to heat the water.

Cool fact: Drinking hot water is really helpful in relieving menstrual pain.

After a while, everyone was tired and came back to the grill to sit and eat. When they were ready to go back, a middle-aged man in a suit who looked like a manager came over and said hello: "Did you have fun?"

"Happy, happy." Everyone in the Kang family said.

"I have even happier news to tell you." The man said, "Last year, Guangdong TV held a survival challenge on Saipan Island. According to their format, our hotel will hold a cross-country competition with prizes tomorrow."

"Wow, is the prize a Pacific grouper?" A-Zu laughed.

The man smiled, patted A Zu on the shoulder and said, "There are more surprises than grouper. We will upgrade the room of the final winner to the presidential suite of our Dynasty Hotel for free. He can also take a small plane to travel around the island."

"Manager, how do we play this?" A Yao asked.

"A man and a woman must form a free team. After arriving at a certain scenic spot, they must do everything they can to find clues to the next target attraction. There are four target attractions in total. The first one to reach the fourth target attraction and complete the check-in is the winner." The manager introduced tomorrow's competition system.

After listening to this, everyone quickly paired up with their spouses and went to the manager to sign up, each of them full of confidence. "Sir, why don't you sign up? There are already nine groups of contestants participating in the competition, and there is only one spot left. Are you really not considering it?" After the manager completed the registration procedures for everyone, he saw that Kang Qirui had not signed up and asked.

"Yes, yes, A'rui, why don't you sign up? The five of us brothers will participate together. There are ten groups of people, so the chance for us five is 50%." asked the big brother Guangye.

"Tsk, boss, do you know how to do it? What do you mean by 50%? With the five of us brothers, it will definitely be 100% ours. It just depends on who wins." The second boss was very confident.

Kang Qirui waved his hand and said, "Wanling is not feeling well. Even if I want to attend, I have no company." After hearing what he said, everyone started to care about where Zhu Wanling was feeling unwell. Zhu Wanling had to awkwardly tell everyone that she was having her period. Everyone felt a little embarrassed and unnaturally pretended to be busy. (End of this chapter)
