"Baby, I've actually built a new family in America.
But don't worry, my love for you won't weaken at all. Instead, more family members will care about you, "Lili said awkwardly as she observed Zhang Lisheng's expression.
The reason why she did not tell her son earlier was that she was afraid that Zhang Lisheng would have a rebellious mentality and she would not be able to bring her son away successfully.
In Lili's imagination, Zhang Lisheng who grew up in a traditional country like China would have a strong reaction when he heard that. To her surprise, he said softly with his head lowered after being stunned for a while, "Mom, you've been single for more than ten years. It's normal for you to remarry. It's no big deal."
"Really? My baby …" Lili was shocked and hugged Zhang Lisheng in surprise. She said excitedly, "But I didn't remarry. I'm just living with a New York police officer named Sullo D. Lavin.
You can call him Uncle Lavin or Sullo directly.
He's a tall white man, he can teach you how to play baseball or football in the future.
By the way, he and his ex-wife have two sons and two daughters, all of whom are older than you. His mother gave birth to a pair of twins who are two years younger than you. In this way, you are the fifth child in this big family. "
"Mom, you guys have kids who are more than ten years old. Why, why …" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while and stuttered.
"Because I don't want to get married anymore, baby.
Such a family is normal in America. Many parents never get married but they live together happily for the rest of their lives. "
"I see. Seems like American dramas can't teach me how to truly understand the American lifestyle.
But don't worry mom. Really, don't worry. I understand, I understand, "Zhang Lisheng said softly while looking at a plane that was climbing out of the window.
"Baby, I'm sorry for missing your life before and messing it up now.
But I really don't want you to spend the last period of time before you become an adult alone in that small mountain village. You don't even have the taste of a mother's love for a day … "As Lili spoke, tears of sadness and guilt fell from her eyes.
"I know mom. Don't cry anymore and don't overthink okay? I'm fine now.
Tell me more about that … that Uncle Lavin and your kids in America. I'm going to live with them so I should know more about them. "
"Okay, baby." Lili wiped her tears and sniffled. She said, "Sullo is the superintendent of the Key Case Team of the New York Police Department. He looks tall and serious but he's actually very gentle in private …"
Lili told Zhang Lisheng about her family in the US and let him know that his stepfather, who was not recognized by the law, was 42 years old today. He was a criminal nemesis who roamed the streets of New York and specialized in dealing with serious crimes such as murder and robbery with a gun.
This criminal nemesis had four children with his ex-wife. His eldest son, Stephen Lavin, was 21 years old. Just last year, he relied on his strong physique and flexible running to enter UCLA as the school team's backup quarterback without having to take the test.
The second son, Randy Lavin, 18 years old, had just entered the 12th grade of New York Lowbige Junior High.
As the running back of the school football team, although he was not as dazzling as his brother who was the quarterback, he was still one of the most popular people in the school.
The eldest daughter, Riley S. Lavin, was 17 years old. She was also a 12th grade student of Lowbige Junior High. She was extraordinarily smart and had excellent grades.
The second daughter, Michelle Lavin, was 16 years old just like Zhang Lisheng but her birthday was slightly older than Zhang Lisheng's. According to Lili, this lady was beautiful. She was a famous 11th grade beauty of Lowbige Junior High.
The last one was Zhang Lisheng's twin brother and sister, Jill Lavin and Harry Lavin. Both of them were 14 years old and were studying in the 9th grade of Lowbige Junior High.
"They're both good kids. Although they're a little stubborn sometimes, I think you guys will get along well.
After resting for a few days in America, I'll bring you to Lowbige Junior High to look for Rachel for the entrance test. We'll see which grade is better for you.
Theoretically, you're in the first grade of high school in China, so you should be able to be transferred to the 10th grade in America. However, we'll have to look at the corresponding level too. After all, you might not be able to adapt to the coursework … "Lili was getting more and more excited as she imagined her son's future in the end.
At that moment, Zhang Lisheng, who was standing next to his mother, began to let his imagination run wild. Studying was no longer important to him.
After calming down from the ecstasy of reuniting with his mother, Zhang Lisheng was even more certain about what he should do in the future. Now, all he wanted was to settle down and cultivate in peace.
Time passed by slowly. Finally, a bilingual announcement that said, "All passengers, please take note …" (Attention all passengers, flight K1061 from Chengdu Shuangliu Airport to New York JFK Airport is boarding … Please take note) echoed in the departure hall.
"Baby, we're leaving," Lili brought Zhang Lisheng to the designated boarding gate immediately upon hearing the announcement.
After checking the tickets, they walked into the plane through the passage. Two beautiful flight attendants in sky blue uniforms guided the passengers to their seats.
After seeing Lili and her son, the slightly older flight attendant took the initiative to ask in English while smiling, "May I know if you're Madam Lili and Mr. Zhang Lisheng?"
"We are," Lili answered in confusion.
"There's still an empty seat in the first-class section of this flight. Would both of you like to be upgraded?"
"This is a surprise, thank you."
"Please follow me." After whispering into her colleague's ear, the flight attendant guided Lili and her son to the first-class section of the plane.
"Mom, what do you mean by upgraded?" Zhang Lisheng whispered in confusion into Lili's ear.
"It means that we bought a business class ticket but we can enjoy first-class service. Not only that, but it was requested by the flight attendant herself. I've never encountered such good luck before.
Baby, it seems like you're really lucky. "
As they were speaking, the mother and son walked into the first-class cabin.
The first-class cabin of the A3800 aircraft was just like a small salon bar. The atmosphere was elegant and gorgeous. However, the seats looked more comfortable and the space between them was bigger.
The flight attendant was well-trained. She pointed at the seats in the air elegantly and said to Lili and her son, "Please take a seat. Do both of you need any drinks?"
"Thank you, we'll order drinks after we take off," Lili said and pulled her son to an empty two-person seat side by side.
"Alright, I'm Madam Lili. I'm the chief flight attendant of the first-class section of this plane. Just let me know if you need anything.
Oh yeah, Mr. Li Longhua asked me to send his regards to you and wish you a pleasant journey again. "
Lili was stunned and turned around to say in surprise, "Please thank Mr. Li for me. He's too polite.
Just tell him that I think his career will definitely go higher with such meticulous and considerate service. "
At the same time when Lili was complimenting Li Longhua, Li Longhua looked at the dried stinky mucus on the wall carefully in the closed room B4506 of the Golden Dragon Hotel. He asked Xu Dongliang who was by his side with a worried expression, "Dongliang, are you sure that the kid was pretending to be unconscious last night?"
"Yes, his eyeballs were rolling under his eyelids when I was looking at him. He wasn't unconscious at all.
However, he's a guest of the hotel, it'll be hard for me to deal with him if I expose him. That's why I went with the flow. "
"Sigh, it seems like I've been too reckless. If I'd seen the scratches on the wall of the hotel, I wouldn't have forced Madam Lili to compromise last night. She's so young and she managed to force such a 'guy' to jump off the building to escape.
T-This … Respect ghosts and gods and stay away, respect ghosts and gods and stay away. I've been careful my whole life and I didn't expect to fail in such a simple task. "
"Director Li, it's not that serious right?"
"It's not serious, it's not serious to ordinary people but to those who can kill an entire family just by spitting on their shoes …" Li Longhua walked to the floor-to-ceiling window that was just installed halfway through his sentence. He looked at the sky far away and sighed with a serious expression, "Forget it, I hope that this incident can end here after we fix it."
In the sky where Li Longhua was looking at, Zhang Lisheng who flew into the blue sky for the first time was also staring out of the window.
The sea of clouds was rolling and the sun was shining brightly. Some people would feel happy when they saw such a magnificent and open scene for the first time while some would be terrified. Some might turn a blind eye to it and think that it was similar to the aerial scenery that they saw on the screen or in the pictures.
At that moment, Zhang Lisheng was so shocked that he was out of his mind under the golden sunlight.
Lili saw her son's stiff side face and comforted him softly, "Baby, don't be scared. We're safe in the plane."
"I'm not scared, mom. I'm excited. The sky is a completely different world. It's so beautiful here. "
"That's right, I was excited when I took a plane for the first time when I was young. I thought how wonderful it would be if we had a pair of wings so that we could fly in the sea of clouds every day. We could go wherever we wanted."
"'Traveling to Penglai Island in the morning and staying at Tiantai Mountain in the evening. This is freedom, how can ordinary people dream of it'? Mother, I'm thinking the same thing now," Zhang Lisheng broke free and mumbled.
Lili did not blame her son for speaking Mandarin unintentionally since they had boarded the plane. She did not notice the strange ambition her son had when he said that. She merely rubbed Zhang Lisheng's hair and lowered the seat. She covered him with a blanket and fell asleep comfortably.
Zhang Lisheng ate two meals on the plane from Chengdu to New York, but his head never left the cabin window. It was until 18 hours later when China Airlines flight K1061 circled above New York's JFK Airport under the setting sun.
