The start of a vacation

2 days passed and it was the day of Rui Xing's flight. Rui Xing, her friends and a person she had never met before agreed to meet outside the airport gate. Rui Ning is the type of person that arrives early, unlike Rui Xing who always arrives 5 minutes late. Since Rui Ning was sending her off and fetching her there, he woke her up 4 hours before her flight.

"Wake up sleepyhead..."

"What?? It's 5am?! The flight is at 9am... how are you awake?!" she shouted at her brother.

"Right! It takes 10 minutes for you to wake up, 30 minutes for you to get ready and an hour to get there. It'll already be 6.40 by the time we reach the airport!"

"Fine..." she replied though she didn't even listen to Rui Ning's words. Once said, she went back to sleep.

Her brother was right, it took her another 10 minutes of sleep, before she finally awoken.

"Did you pack your luggage?"

Rui Xing's eyes were wide open upon hearing Rui Ning's words. She immediately ran to her luggage to see that her luggage was filled with her necessities.

She stared at Rui Ning. "Don't scare me like that!!"

He stuck out his tongue and replied, "1 point to Rui Ning! 0 points to Rui Xing!"

Rui Xing shook her head, and thought to herself. Is Rui Ning still a child or is he actually a 23 year old guy? Is this dude really my older brother?

"OK, OK now eat your breakfast and change so that we can leave for the airport!"

She nodded her head in response and ate her breakfast. After eating, she went upstairs to change. She wore a hoodie, sweatpants and a sweater.

Hana and Cookie were awakened by the noise of the Ruis talking and the bright light at which the dogs were sleeping at. As Rui Ning was preparing the dogs' breakfast, they started playing with a 'toy' on the floor. Rui Ning took a quick glance at the dogs to find that they were playing with the TV controller.

"No!" He took the TV controller away from them and gave the two a dog toy instead. Rui Xing hurried downstairs hearing Rui Ning's scream.

"What happened?"

"The dogs were playing with a 'toy'."

"What's the problem with that?", she asked him still not understanding what happened.

"The 'toy' was the TV controller!"

"Oh... anyways, what time are we leaving?" She totally ignored Rui Ning's comment on what happened.

"After the dogs finish breakfast..."

"OK!"

——Skip to 15 minutes later———-

"Okay let's go..."

She dragged her luggage out the door, Rui Ning holding the door open. Out the house they go. They headed to the airport.

When they were about to arrive at the airport, Shang Ying texted her.

"Rui Xing, you arriving soon?"

"Yes. Are all of you there at the airport already?"

"Yep. Waiting for you:)"

"I'll be there soon!!"

Rui Ning saw Rui Xing texting someone and asked, "Are all your friends there at the airport already?"

"Yeah... I wonder why they reached the airport so early!"

He shook his head then whispered, "I told you to wake up early for a reason."

"What did you say?"

"Oh me? I didn't say anything," he replied in a suspicious manner.

"Okay..."

At the airport, Rui Ning took out her luggage from the boot (the back of the car), she dragged it towards herself and waved goodbye to her brother. He nodded his head, sat back in his car and watched Rui Xing walk inside the airport then walk back out. Confused as to why she did that, he didn't drive away. She saw her look around for her friends and gave up. Rui Xing then turned around after hearing someone call her name. It was Wen Xi. As soon as Rui Ning saw that she has found her friends, he drove off.

"Rui Xing! Come! Meet Li Nang," Wen Xi said to her enthusiastically.

"Hi, I'm Li Nang. Nice to meet you."

"Oh I- I'm Rui Xing," She said with a nervous smile.

"Did I say something wrong? You stuttered..."

"Don't worry about it! Rui Xing's always like that when she meets new people," Wen Xi replied for her.

"Let's go inside, shall we?" Shang Ying joined in on the conversation.

They all replied with a 'yes'. Then, they walked to check in at the station. Next, they walked to the immigration checkpoint to go inside.

They headed to the food court to buy food, and although Rui Xing had already eaten her breakfast, she didn't tell them. She wouldn't say no to food. They ate as they chit-chatted, Rui Xing learnt a lot about Li Nang through that period of time talking. He recommended her books that she might like. She took note of those books and would be sure to check them out some time. Rui Xing was so engrossed in the conversation with Li Nang that she didn't realize Shang Ying was staring right at her and that Wen Xi took a picture of that.

A while later they boarded the plane... Rui Xing was to sit next to Shang Ying and Wen Xi next to Li Nang. Wen Xi couldn't get seats that were next to each other so she got them in pair seating.
