"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the air currents affecting our flight path, we are experiencing significant turbulence. Please remain seated with your seatbelts fastened, and refrain from using the restrooms at this time. Thank you for your cooperation...."
A sweet, mechanical female voice suddenly filled the broadcast, shattering the silence in the cabin.
It was closely followed by a standard English announcement, much the same as the one before.
Encountering turbulence on a flight is nothing out of the ordinary; many frequent fliers probably have come to this realization. After the initial panic, and with the reassurance from the flight attendants, passengers gradually settled down.
In first class, Ning Zijin closed her eyes, ignoring everything around her as if she was disconnected from the outside world.
