Chapter 297 - A Photo (1/2)
Once all the passengers boarded the plane, the seat assignments were still the same as before.
Xu Enqi, En’en, found Meng Fan as soon as she could. After she checked with her parents, she walked over to Meng Fan, winking at him. Then she asked the middle-aged woman next to him, “Auntie, can I swap seats with you?”
The woman stood up with a smile, “Of course, you can.” She picked up the little girl and put her in the seat. “Here, the little princess should sit with the super hero. It’s the best.”
Everyone on the plane chuckled. After the traumatic event at the airport, everyone on the plane felt as close as family.
En’en’s parents came over and said with some embarrassment, “Mr. M, sorry to bother you.” En’en’s mom reminded the girl, “If big brother is tired, don’t keep harassing him, okay?”
En’en nodded adorably and waved to her parents, “Dad, mom, go back to your seats. You can’t move around on the plane. Put on your seatbelt.”
Then, she took out two apples from her Peppa Pig backpack, one big and one small, handing the big one to Meng Fan. “Big brother, this is for you.” She made sure to lower her voice. “Your magic came from the apples.”
This is probably because she saw how Meng Fan calmly ate an apple after beating all the hijackers.
Her innocent words brought a new round of laughter.
The plane took off on time. En’en talked to Meng Fan constantly, while still acting politely and speaking quietly, as if she was whispering. After they talked for a while, she took out an iPad to watch a cartoon with Meng Fan. Coincidentally, the cartoon was “Adventures in the Forest.”
Meng Fan didn’t know “Adventures in the Forest” had already aired. It seemed to be popular too.
“Big brother.”
As they watched, En’en looked at Meng Fan and frowned. She asked, “Big brother, why does Uncle Crocodile’s voice sound like yours?”
Meng Fan laughed at the question. He voiced a lot of characters in this show, including Uncle Crocodile. He used mostly his own voice for Uncle Crocodile, so it’s not surprising that En’en could recognize him. He considered and replied, “En’en, you’re amazing. If you have a question, just ask.”
“What? Duck Teacher?”
En’en almost yelled when she heard Meng Fan’s new voice. She covered her mouth and stared at him in shock. “Big brother, do you know voice magic?”
Meng Fan was going to tell her these voices were all his, but since En’en brought up magic again, he just nodded and showed off the voices of the other characters.
“Wow, big brother is so cool!”
En’en happily clapped. Admiration filled her gaze.
It was late. After they watched two episodes of the cartoon, En’en passed out on Meng Fan’s shoulder. Without Meng Fan pressing on the “help needed” light, the flight attendant brought over two blankets. It was obvious she paid attention to them the whole time.
…
By now, the press conference at the airport had finished. Word of the attempted hijacking spread at the speed of light and became top news at various media outlets.
