Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 78 At the airport, just got off the plane

Early August.

The crisp air of late summer shone on the glass facade of the airport.

Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue joined the crowd and boarded the plane bound for Gesar Airport in Ganzi, Sichuan.

Before takeoff, Haina Shirakawa sent a message.

"Xiao Chen, have a safe journey! I've been to Ganzi. The sky is high and the land is vast, and the scenery is amazing. However, the altitude is high, and the temperature difference is as big as riding a roller coaster. The sun is scorching during the day, but the cold can seep into your bones at night. Be sure to wrap yourself up tightly in your down jacket and don't try to stay cool!"

The words convey the warmth of an elder.

Chen Nian felt a warmth in her heart.

He replied quickly: "I understand, Shirakawa-nii, I'll definitely be careful!"

At the same time, a trace of longing for his parents quietly brushed against his heart like a feather.

I wonder what they are doing far away right now?
Chen Nian hovered her finger over the contacts list, hesitated for a moment, and then gently swiped it open.

'Let's wait a little longer,' he told himself. 'Wait until that million-follower milestone is firmly established, wait until I'm even stronger.'

The plane began to taxi slowly.

The deep roar of the engine was like the pulse of the earth awakening.

The beautiful and sweet-voiced flight attendant reminded each passenger to fasten their seatbelt with a professional smile.

When the flight attendant approached Xia Qiyue, she saw that she was only wearing a thin T-shirt, so she kindly handed her a thick wool blanket.

"Madam, it's cold at high altitudes, please cover yourself up to keep warm."

"Thank you~"

Xia Qiyue took the blanket and covered her legs, which were covered by athletic shorts, then looked up and gave a sweet smile, revealing shallow dimples on her cheeks.

The flight attendant returned her a sweet smile.

After the flight attendant left, Xia Qiyue quietly nudged Chen Nian and whispered.

"The flight attendants in Sichuan are all so beautiful!"

"Even I, a pretty girl, think it's beautiful. Maybe that's what mutual appreciation between pretty girls is all about!"

She nodded to herself, her face showing agreement.

Chen Nian glanced at her helplessly.

His gaze fell on the blanket on her lap: "By the way, is Xiao Lan really settling in with your sister?"

Because the journey was long and Xia Qiyue was worried that Xiao Lan might suffer from altitude sickness, she did not bring Xiao Lan with her and instead sent her to live with her sister in advance.

Chen Nian was worried that if this went on for too long, Xiao Lan would develop separation anxiety.

When Xiao Lan was mentioned, Xia Qiyue's expression softened instantly.

"Don't worry! Little Blue is very smart. I've already talked to it and told it to wait for me to come back without getting anxious. Besides, it's stayed at my sister's place many times before, so it's already familiar with it."

"Most importantly, you left it so much cat food!"

"Hmph, that little glutton is probably having so much fun right now that he doesn't even have time to think about me!"

She looked completely certain.

Ah Qiu—!
Little Blue, who was burying its head in its cat food bowl and showing off, suddenly sneezed. It raised its head and looked around in confusion, its whiskers still covered in bits of food. After realizing that its owner was not around, it lowered its head and started showing off again.

Its entire fluffy head was almost buried in the cat food bowl!
The little tongue curled up the cat food pellets, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a swishing sound.

A woman who looked somewhat similar to Xia Qiyue, but was a bit older, sat to the side, resting her chin on her hand and watching Xiao Lan.

Then, she slowly shifted her gaze to the fragrant cat food in the bowl.

"Oh, I forgot to ask July if this cat food is safe for humans to eat."

!!!

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Lan's little ears twitched alertly, and her round little bottom subtly moved towards her sister, like a furry wall, completely blocking the 'covetous' gaze.

elder sister:"."

"That's good."

Chen Nian felt relieved.

In addition to cat food, he also left some catnip for Xiao Lan to keep her entertained, so she should be able to get through this period peacefully.

Soon, the plane took off.

The 300 km/h acceleration propelled all passengers away from the ground.

Outside the porthole, the earth rushed past, and the field of vision suddenly rose.

The familiar city outlines quickly shrank and blurred, and in their place, an unprecedentedly vast panorama slowly unfolded before my eyes!

Passing through fluffy white clouds, the aircraft leaped into a vast sea of ​​clouds.

The sea of ​​clouds is unbelievably beautiful!

The sunlight poured down without any obstruction, dyeing the rolling clouds with a molten gold-like luster, making it so magnificent that it seemed otherworldly.

A low gasp of surprise rippled through the cabin.

Passengers turned their heads, their eyes captivated by the spectacular scenery flowing outside the window.

"No matter how many times I see it, I will always be amazed by the magnificent landscape of our motherland," someone in the next seat sighed softly.

Chen Nian nodded silently, her heart surging with emotion.

The plane took off from the rift basin and crossed the Qinling Mountains, an important geographical boundary in my country.

Looking to the side, one can see the folded mountain range, shaped by the immense power of the Creator. It is towering and steep, with deep canyons like scars on the earth. Dense primeval forests cover it, like a thick, dark green velvet carpet spread out, surging like waves in the field of vision.

Even the most beautiful scenery can't outweigh the weariness of a journey.

The cabin gradually quieted down, leaving only the low hum of the air conditioner and the occasional soft rustling of pages turning. "Whoosh!"

Chen Nian's shoulder suddenly felt heavy.

He turned his head and saw that Xia Qiyue, who had just been craning her neck and looking at the scenery with bright eyes, had now closed her eyes and was resting her head heavily on his shoulder.

Her breathing was even and deep, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her fair cheeks.

In her sleep, she nuzzled against Chen Nian's shoulder like a kitten, found the most comfortable angle, let out a satisfied hum, and slept even more soundly.

Chen Nian's lips curved slightly.

With very gentle movements, he pulled the wool blanket up a little to make sure the girl was enveloped in warmth.

My gaze returned to the ever-changing world outside the porthole.

In my mind, I heard Xiaomi's excited voice: 'Look, meow! Doesn't that cloud look like me, meow!'

Xiao Mi was extremely excited as it was her first time flying.

In the space of consciousness, it jumped and scurried about excitedly, like a child who had received a new toy.

Chen Nian followed its gaze and indeed saw a cloud cat in the boundless sea of ​​clouds, its form and spirit perfectly matching the image of a crouching, gazing creature, with the whisker-like patterns of the swirling clouds still faintly discernible.

Xiaomi's imagination runs wild.

One moment he would point to a wisp of cloud and say it was a silver fish leaping up with its tail; the next he would imagine the piled-up clouds as knights in the clouds holding long spears; and when he saw a huge cirrus cloud rolling, he would excitedly shout that it was a white whale spouting water and swimming in the sea of ​​clouds.

Its childlike description is like a key.

With a 'click', the floodgates of Chen Nian's memories were opened.

In his childhood, he also loved to lie on the grass, watching the ever-changing clouds in the sky, imagining them as galloping horses, gentle bears, and sailing ships. That pure joy of imagination seems to transcend time and overlap with Xiaomi's excitement at this moment.

"Well, I see it."

"But I think it's more like a dog chewing on a bone."

At that moment, at this moment.

The plane continued to climb westward, crossing the Sichuan Basin and entering the western Sichuan Plateau on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the northern region of the Hengduan Mountains revealed its most majestic and rugged features.

The altitude increases dramatically!

A series of majestic mountain ranges running north-south flashed past the window, as if a giant's weapon had cleaved the earth!
The mountain ridges are rugged and pierce the sky.

Between the mountains are deep, steep, V-shaped canyons, where famous rivers such as the Dadu River and the Yalong River roar and flow like silver ribbons at the bottom of the valleys.

On the higher peaks in the distance, the snow-capped mountains shimmered with a cold and holy light under the sun. Chen Nian even caught a fleeting glimpse of the majestic figure of Mount Gongga, the king of Sichuan mountains, among a row of jagged snow peaks.

That aloof and proud beauty, detached from the world, is breathtaking!
Gesar Airport is situated on a relatively open flat surface on this vast plateau.

The plane began its descent.

"Wake up, Qiyue, we're here." Chen Nian gently shook her shoulders.

"Hmm, we've arrived?"

Xia Qiyue opened her eyes groggily, her thick, long eyelashes fluttering a few times, and her consciousness returned instantly.

After a two-second pause, she quickly glanced at Chen Nian's shoulder to make sure there were no suspicious marks before secretly letting out a sigh of relief. With a touch of shyness, she quickly turned her head to look out the window.

What greets the eye is an overwhelming expanse of green that is truly refreshing!
"Wow!"

Few people who set foot on this land for the first time can help but exclaim in amazement.

The vast, flat alpine meadows stretch into the distance, embraced by rolling low hills, with clear rivers meandering through them like soft, shimmering ribbons.

The most breathtaking thing was the sky, which seemed to be infinitely close!
A clear blue sky cascades down, gently enveloping the entire plateau, offering a view so vast it seems one can see to the very end of the world.

The plane came to a smooth stop, and the cabin was filled with beeping sounds indicating that the signal had been restored.

Chen Nian's phone was no exception.

Infinite Quantity: "You should have landed by now, right? I'll be waiting for you at the exit. My features are quite distinctive; you'll see me as soon as you come out."

Chen Nian replied with a smile, "Yeah, it just stopped."

Xia Qiyue, who was standing next to her, had already stood up nimbly and taken their small bags from the overhead luggage compartment.

The checked luggage quickly converged at the carousel.

Their luggage was extremely simple.

Chen Nian carried a professional backpack containing sophisticated live-streaming equipment and dragged a small carry-on suitcase; Xia Qiyue, on the other hand, was more carefree, carrying only a lightweight crossbody bag and a suitcase even smaller than Chen Nian's.

Her natural beauty gives her confidence, and even her luggage exudes a casual simplicity.

"Let's go!" Xia Qiyue pushed the small suitcase, her eyes sparkling with curiosity about the new world.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Nian slung her equipment over her shoulder and followed closely behind.

As soon as I stepped out of the exit, I was greeted by a cacophony of voices.

Their eyes swept across the crowd of people waiting to pick up passengers, and the two locked onto their target almost instantly.

There's no way around it, he's just too kind.

At that moment, Director Zanghu was surrounded by a group of enthusiastic fans, signing autographs, taking photos, and answering questions, keeping him very busy.

What should have been a pleasant airport arrival event was turned into a mini fan meeting.

Watching the iconic glasses reflect the flashes of various cameras in the center of the crowd, Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue exchanged a smile, feeling both helpless and amused.

Then the two dragged their luggage, pushed through the crowd, and walked toward the bustling center.
