The male supporting character was actually myself.

Meanwhile, Ji Ningyu lay on the large communal bed, his nostrils filled with various unpleasant smells, yet all he could see were the beautiful women's every smile and frown before his eyes.

As he thought about it, he became annoyed. Seeing such a beautiful girl made him fall into his infatuation again. He was so focused on talking about romance, poetry, and songs that he completely forgot to ask her name, where she was from, and which floor she was staying in.

I wish the daytime would pass quickly, and I would hurry to the deck to wait for my dream girl when night falls. I hope that my fairy sister is also waiting on the deck, just as I am!

After washing and dressing up, Lan Jingshu sat at the table, looking at the Flowing Light Rabbit in the cage in a daze, feeling rather lazy.

My actions last night were a bit too impolite, but I actually liked them!

Especially sitting and chatting with Young Master Luo, eating vegetables like tomatoes and carrots that I had never eaten raw before, and listening to him casually recount his interesting adventures, it was all so novel and enviable.

Unfortunately, Young Master Luo is weak and alone. Although his business spans the twelve continents, it pales in comparison to the behemoth that is the Yunmeng Family. His father and brothers know him, but they don't consider him a suitable match. As a young woman, she can't be too proactive in pursuing him. What should she do?

Would Young Master Luo like being with me?

Given his decisive and efficient style, would he go to Yunmeng to propose marriage?

While everyone else was immersed in the sweetness of love, Jiang Chen sat in her room with a slight frown, reading a script.

"The script team is such bastards!" Little White Cat commented while munching on dried fish. "They couldn't let you, the Best Supporting Actor, get away with it, so they immediately arranged for another Best Supporting Actor to be a scapegoat and cuckold!"

It seems like everyone who meets the female lead in this story ends up with a bad fate. Is she some kind of jinx?

Should we consider getting her off the ship?

In order to resolve the issues surrounding the token of love and the source of the enormous wealth, the script team temporarily added a tragic character—Duan Lang, the newly appointed top scholar of the Starry Continent.

After more than a decade of hard study, he became famous and was given an important position. On his way to take up his post, he boarded the Yun Shen Meng Cheng ship. He only had to glance at Ye Qingqing in the crowd before he could not forget her face and fell at her feet.

According to the new storyline, the airship will land at the port of Xingao Continent in the afternoon to replenish fresh fruits and vegetables, and also to pick up and drop off tourists.

Duan Lang was supposed to take another airship to his post, but he happened to encounter bad weather. The other small airships dared not risk flying, but the giant airship built by the Yunmeng family was not afraid of the storm and remained as stable as Mount Tai in the extremely bad weather.

Therefore, Duan Lang, who was in a hurry to get on his way, used his connections to get a second-class cabin ticket on the Yun Shen Meng Cheng ship.

Due to limited space, he could only take his pageboy ahead, while the rest of his entourage and luggage would travel on other airships after the storm.

As he boarded the airship, he saw Ye Qingqing, her bright eyes sparkling, peering out from the window of the third-class cabin.

The handsome man and beautiful woman were a match made in heaven. Duan Lang couldn't forget her. He inquired around and learned that she had been jilted due to health reasons, but she was of noble character and did not easily accept favors from others. She insisted on moving out of the first-class cabin provided by the young master of the Luo family and into a third-class room.

Admiring her integrity and beauty, Duan Lang tried every means to get in touch with the matriarch of the Ye family, and the two hit it off and agreed to renew their engagement.

Duan Lang completely replaced Jiang Chen's previous role.

Not only did he give Ye Qingqing his family heirloom as a token of their love, but to prove his sincerity, he also personally wrote a document to transfer a huge sum of money to his beloved. Afterwards, he was too busy with various social engagements to have time for romance, thinking that once he took office, he would have plenty of time to marry Ye Qingqing and settle down.

Thus, she once again had the means to be promiscuous. Under the guise of being the top scholar's fiancée, Ye Qingqing secretly met with Ji Ningyu, bathed together, and even made love while their clothes were disheveled during the airship crash...

"As a result, Duan Lang gave Ye Qingqing the chance to escape, but she was thinking of her lover and gave up her position to run to him."

Duan Lang, having finally learned the truth, died in despair.

The token of love he gave to his fiancée became a 'testament to the love' between Ye Qingqing and Ji Ningyu;

Ji Ningyu left a kiss and fell to her death;

Ye Qingqing, relying on her status as Duan Lang's fiancée and that document, successfully acquired a huge fortune, revitalized the Ye family, and married a good man. She had three children with her husband and remained devoted to Ji Ningyu until her death, even writing a memoir and a storybook about her extraordinary love.

Jiang Chen was both amused and exasperated after reading it, and really didn't know how to make a comment.

"We're back to square one!" The little white cat scratched the wall angrily. "Can't they just have a normal relationship? Why do they have to cheat on someone and ruin innocent lives like this!"

And they even said that only those who aren't loved are the third party? Then why the hell didn't you agree to their marriage proposal?! Don't take their money! Don't go around fooling around in their bedroom! It's infuriating!

He habitually rubbed his temples slowly, pondering a solution.

First, we must prevent Duan Lang from boarding the airship, and try to avoid triggering the cuckoldry incident;

Secondly, the method suggested by the little white cat might be feasible—find a way to get the male and female protagonists off the airship. As long as these two unlucky stars leave, there's no need for a tragedy to unfold. The script team might modify the plot to allow the Cloud Deep Dream City to reach its destination smoothly.

Finally, and most importantly, we must figure out exactly what design flaws the Cloud Dream City has.

If we don't figure out the reason, it will eventually crash and burn, or it will harm innocent people.

"It seems we still have to start with Miss Lan; perhaps she can be of help." Having made up his mind, Jiang Chen got up, changed into his guest clothes, and then had his attendant deliver the visiting card.

It is highly impolite for an unmarried man to suddenly request a meeting with an unmarried woman.

He would never meet with Miss Lan, as it would leave a frivolous impression on the public. Therefore, he went directly to pay his respects to Elder Mr. Ouyang.

"Oh? You want to see the daughter of the Yunmeng family to ask about airships?" The old man was taken aback when he heard the purpose of the visit. "As far as I know, your business has nothing to do with airships. Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Jiang Chen said respectfully, "Sir, you may not know this, but I am quite interested in airships. However, I am usually too busy with business to have the opportunity to come and ask you for advice. Since I have nothing to do at this time, and Miss Lan is on the same airship, I really want to satisfy my curiosity."

Mr. Ouyang stroked his beard and gave a slight smile.

As the saying goes, a beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman. The Lan family's daughter is about the same age as him, and there's no word of her being married. It's likely that Luo Jiangchen also wants to meet her because of her reputation, and perhaps they can find a good match.

Asking for advice was a pretense; the real purpose was to find a good match for oneself.

Chapter Thirteen: Goodbye and Showdown

However, this attitude of daring to think, act, and pursue one's goals is very much in line with the spirit of young people, which Mr. Ouyang likes from the bottom of his heart.

Despite being nearly eighty years old, his mindset remains youthful; on the contrary, he is quite adaptable to new trends.

Having experienced the bitter consequences of an arranged marriage himself, and having missed out on his true love due to moral constraints in his youth, the old gentleman sincerely hopes that young people can all have marriages based on mutual affection.

Moreover, nowadays, freedom of love is promoted everywhere, encouraging young men and women to pursue their loved ones, which is no longer as outdated and unacceptable to society as it used to be.

He pondered for a moment and felt that if both parties were interested, it would be a wonderful story.

"Alright then, I'll have someone deliver the invitation right away. I just don't know if the young lady of the Lan family will receive guests without any elders present."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir!" Jiang Chen quickly stood up and bowed.

The little white cat lay sprawled on his shoulder and grinned mischievously, "With my host's great personal charm, it would be strange if Miss Lan didn't see me!"

Sure enough, soon after the invitation was sent, someone came to invite Mr. Ouyang and Young Master Luo into the reception room.

Lan Jingshu's beloved was so close, but with stewards and guards standing watch outside and maids bowing their heads in obedience inside, plus the presence of Old Master Ouyang, she could only suppress her fluttering heart and politely entertain her guest through the beaded curtain.

Jiang Chen wasn't exactly trying to fool the old man. He had originally intended to figure out the principles of airship navigation, so he focused on exploring the various structures and flight principles of airships, which were rather tedious and boring topics.

Lan Jingshu was deeply influenced by her family environment from a young age, and she had a thorough understanding of the theoretical knowledge of airships. The two of them got along quite well and talked back and forth.

"Please continue your conversation, gentlemen. I was a little tired last night and need to go back and rest for a while." After listening to some rather boring talk about resistance and power, Mr. Ouyang, seeing that the two of them were having a good chat, got up and made an excuse to leave first.

The little white cat also felt the fear of being dominated by math and physics classes. It was so sleepy that it could barely keep its eyes open. It licked its paws, slumped on its host's shoulder, and mumbled, "You guys discuss academics first, I need to take a nap. This topic is just too hypnotic!"

"Chunxiu, Xiazhu, go to the kitchen and get some hot water, and also get Young Master Luo a fresh cup of tea."

"Qiulu, go and lift the bamboo curtain in the young lady's room, lower the window screen, and put some incense in the curtains."

"Dongxue, take a look at what vegetables are served for lunch. I'd like something light for lunch. If there aren't any very vegetarian dishes, could you please order me a cold vegetable salad?"

When the young maid Yan'er saw that Old Master Ouyang had left, Young Master Luo instructed his servants to escort him to his room. With no one else around, he hurriedly arranged for all the maids waiting to be served to leave one after another.

"Miss, I'm going to feed the Radiant Rabbit some vegetables. Please wait a moment before giving me any further instructions." After making sure the servants had left, Yan'er quickly left, making an excuse.

As he passed by Jiang Chen, he lowered his voice and said, "There are too many people around, and we don't have much time to spare. Young Master, please speak your private matters quickly!"

"Thank you very much, Miss Yan'er." Jiang Chen nodded in gratitude.

The door closed, leaving only the two of them in the large living room.

Lan Jingshu, who had been captivated by the late-night chat, could no longer contain her joy. She lifted the beaded curtain and came out from the back hall, gazing at him tenderly.

"Last night's chat with the young lady was truly delightful, and I felt a pang of regret for not having met her sooner. I have so much to say, so I can only ask Mr. Ouyang to bring me to see you."

I had so much to say to you, but now is not the right time to pour out my heart. I have something more important to say!

Jiang Chen knew that the opportunity to meet alone was rare, so she had to pick the important things to say first and try to stop Duan Lang from boarding the airship so that the top scholar wouldn't be cuckolded by the female lead.

Then we need to understand the most crucial secret of the Cloud Dream City – how exactly does it fly?

Hearing the first part of the sentence, her heart pounded nervously again. Then, the other person's expression turned serious, as if something big had happened. Lan Jingshu quickly nodded and said, "Please speak, young master. If I can help, I will do my best!"

"Girl, you know I've traveled all over the country and encountered many crises, but I've always managed to turn misfortune into good fortune. Today I'll tell you the truth: I actually have a very special ability—to foresee dreams."

Simply put, I often dream about very bad things that are going to happen, as if the dream is giving me a warning in advance, and as long as I find a way, I can avoid it.

Last night, after parting ways with the girl, I had a terrible dream when I got back to my room!

This afternoon, the Cloud Deep Dream City will stop at Kunxia Port on the Starry Sky Continent. There is a raging storm there, and no airship dares to take off. The top scholar Duan Lang, who has been appointed to an official post in the Glazed Tower, will board the airship.

He will be engaged to Ye Qingqing tomorrow;

The airship's journey has been delayed due to weather conditions. The bad weather will not be clear until the night after tomorrow, at which time the airship will speed up to catch up on the journey.

Around midnight, the Cloud Dream City will encounter a terrifying tornado that will break its mast, causing it to lose balance and crash into the island in the clouds!

There is a severe shortage of small airships for survival; nine out of ten passengers on these airships will fall to their deaths at high altitudes, with less than ten percent surviving.

"Is Young Master serious?" Lan Jingshu looked completely bewildered after hearing this.

Can dreams predict the future?

Will the Cloud Dream City crash?

What's even more amazing is that he knew exactly what the people who were about to board the airship were.

This is absolutely unbelievable!

“I know this is a bit hard for you to accept all of this, but the airship we are currently on is about to face a terrible disaster, and I can’t think of anyone else who can help me turn things around except you.”

"Miss Lan, I need to know everything about the Cloud Recesses Dream City so I can be sure of its safety."

Jiang Chen chose to lay out the entire script, believing that the most direct and effective way to communicate with someone who shares her vision and understanding is often the most effective.

“What you say is too bizarre, young master, but we will soon be able to verify whether your dream is true or not, without having to wait until we arrive at Kunxia Port this afternoon.”

Lan Jingshu thought for a moment to calm herself down and try her best to treat and consider what he said as true.

She quickly came up with a solution and patiently explained, "Our Yunmeng City's airships have always prioritized safety, and there will never be a situation like the shortage of small airships that you mentioned, young master."

"If you don't believe me, young master, please come with me. We'll check the number of airships together and you'll know."

"If I remember correctly, after the disaster in the dream, many people were fighting for a spot on the small airship, which could seat ten people."

“That’s right. My second brother designed the Cloud Dream City, which can carry up to 6,000 people. According to past practice, it should be equipped with at least 600 small airships.”

Lan Jingshu first found the key and explained as she walked, "Those small airships don't have a power system and are folded up, so they don't take up much space. Let's check the number and we'll know something."

After leaving the house, she explained to the butler that she wanted to show Young Master Luo around the airship's operating space, and the group of people then walked into the inner cabin, which was off-limits to unauthorized personnel.
