Legendary Captain

Two hours of training a day was too pleasant. After training, Xu Xian went back to his room, took a shower, and planned to go to work after dinner.

After showering and changing into loose clothes, Xu Xian stepped out and spotted Lian Shanxue in the hallway. The noise of Xu Xian closing the door also alerted Lian Shanxue.

"You live here?" Xu Xian looked Lian Shanxue up and down with surprise and doubt.

Lian Shanxue changed into a light-colored dress, and her ponytail was loosened. Compared to when she wore a uniform and had her hair in a ponytail, she had a more charming look.

"Yeah, is that not allowed?" Lian Shanxue laughed. Xu Xian was sizing up Lian Shanxue, and Lian Shanxue was also looking at Xu Xian. She noticed that Xu Xian's clothes were generally too big, not the kind that were originally loose, but more like cotton or linen clothes that gradually stretched out over time. Even the pattern on his chest was a bit faded.

"No!" Xu Xian walked over and said, "I came here because they provide room and board. The food here is even better than at home, and they even help with my clothes. It's so convenient."

Xu Xian has a great attitude and never shies away from his idea of ​​freeloading.

"This is what happens when you eat at hotels all the time. Home-cooked meals are so much better!" Lian Shanxue waved to Xu Xian, signaling them to come along. "Aren't your family members around here?"

Xu Xian and Lian Shanxue walked side by side: "My dad's here. But there are some difficulties at home, so it'll be more convenient for me to stay here!"

"So you should thank me?" Lian Shanxue said with a smile.

Xu Xian paused for a moment to realize that Lian Shanxue was referring to choosing him to assist with the simulator project. However, Xu Xian had a different idea about this.

"I plan to leave the fleet and start flying earlier. The sooner I get promoted, the faster my salary will increase. This whole thing has dragged on for two months, and during those two months, I could only get flights by chance. So, thanking you is definitely not an option!" Even with a beautiful woman, Xu Xian still complained.

"You're really materialistic; you can't stop talking about money," Lian Shanxue said.

Xu Xian: "If you keep accumulating debt every now and then, you'll probably end up like me."

Lian Shanxue suddenly stopped, grabbed Xu Xian's wrist, raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and looked directly at Xu Xian: "Are you really not hiding anything at all?"

From the moment they met until now, Xu Xian hasn't hidden anything about her family background. It's not feigned indifference; she genuinely doesn't care. She's considered herself a beauty; shouldn't she be playing to her strengths and downplaying her weaknesses? What's the point of spouting nonsense about her shortcomings?

Xu Xian moved closer to Lian Shanxue and noticed that her eyes were watery, which, combined with her naturally pure and lovely face, made her look rather pitiful.

"Because you're not my type!" Xu Xian said. "I like intellectual women."

Lian Shanxue: "..."

Enraged, Lian Shanxue pinched Xu Xian's arm hard, causing Xu Xian's face to contort in pain.

Seeing that Lian Shanxue was already ahead, Xu Xian quickly caught up, saying, "Wait a minute! It's easier to order food if two people are eating together. Slow down!"

......

"It's so much better to eat with someone! Otherwise, I could only order two dishes at most. Now we have both vegetables and soup, it's so much better!" Xu Xian's eyes were almost closed with laughter, he looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, and he mumbled indistinctly, "This restaurant is great in every way, except they charge for rice. Don't small restaurants outside usually offer free refills of rice? They're so stingy!"

Xu Xian usually drinks soup with his meals. He doesn't need any fancy soup; any soup is fine with him.

However, the hotel restaurant here doesn't offer single-serving soup. If you order a large bowl of soup, the remaining money can only be used to order one dish, which is quite awkward. But if two people are sharing, three dishes and a soup would be just right.

Xu Xian ate with gusto, and his facial expressions gradually relaxed as he spoke: "Let me tell you! The crew set meal with green peppers and shredded pork is the most cost-effective. It has two meat dishes and a bowl of soup, though the soup is a bit too salty. The shrimp and egg set meal is no good; the shrimp are smaller than my little finger, it's a failure. If I'm busy and you can't find me to eat with, you can try those set meals."

Since there are many flight crew members at the hotel, the hotel restaurant offers various set meals based on their meal budgets. They are quite affordable, but the selection is too limited, and it's hard to eat too much of them.

Xu Xian had long since tried all the different flight crew packages, distinguishing between their superior and inferior options, and even passed on his experience to Lian Shanxue.

Xu Xian's words instantly lowered his status. Lian Shanxue glared at Xu Xian with disdain: "You really are experienced!"

"There's nothing I can do. Society has relentlessly whipped me, leaving me covered in scars." Xu Xian gnawed on a pig's trotter, patting the table as he said, "Eat up! This pig's trotter is pretty good, don't let me eat it all!"

Lian Shanxue wished she could bite Xu Xian to death. Just before arriving at the restaurant, Xu Xian had snatched her meal ticket. When ordering, he pretended to ask for her opinion, but all three dishes were heavy meat dishes, which made Lian Shanxue lose all desire to eat.

"By the way, aren't your family members here?" Xu Xian was enjoying his meal and was calmly drinking his soup, looking as content as a retired senior official.

Lian Shanxue picked out some side dishes from the meat dishes and ate them. Hearing Xu Xian's question, she said somewhat unhappily, "I'm all alone here. My family is back in my hometown."

"I knew it! Aside from a poor bastard like me who freeloads, only those with no family at home would come over," Xu Xian laughed.

Dianyun City isn't big, and the Xiangyu Training Center isn't in a remote location, so transportation is very convenient; even taking a taxi wouldn't cost much. Normally, people finish training and go home on the same day. Xu Xian is a poor wretch; staying home is just a waste of water, electricity, and food. Lian Shanxue will come over, but the house is empty anyway, so it's the same wherever she is.

"By the way, why don't you, a girl, fly Airbus? Boeing isn't really suitable for you!" Xu Xian asked.

It's common knowledge that almost all female pilots in China fly Airbus aircraft, with very few choosing Boeing. Star Travel Airlines has an Airbus fleet, so why not choose Airbus?

Lian Shanxue: "Boeing can be converted into Airbus, but Airbus cannot be converted into Boeing."

"I'm so envious, so incredibly envious!" Xu Xian said sincerely.

Airbus acknowledges Boeing's track record, but Boeing denies Airbus's track record. It's unexpected that Lian Shanxiue harbored such intentions.

"I have a question for you," Lian Shanxue suddenly said.

"you say!"

Lian Shanxue raised her hand and pointed to the necklace around Xu Xian's neck: "Can I take a look at this? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!"
