Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Dreams and Freedom

Lin Hanrui’s eyes widened, his pitch raised two notches, "Bro, are you kidding me? Paragliding is a very professional sport, not like when you first learned to ride a bike and mastered it in half a day."

Cheng Qiaobei asked again, "Can it be settled in four days?"

Lin Hanrui said, "I responsibly tell you that it’s easy for beginners to get started, but to learn it well and operate safely is very difficult. First, you need to understand the weather for the day. The weather requirements for flight are very high; wind speed and direction must be suitable.

Even if you find time to train, the problems and emergencies you encounter on each flight can be different.

My coach once told me that no flight is the same; your flight path and weather will always change with time. This requires professional training and a long-term systematic accumulation of experience.

There’s also terrain, equipment, etc. It also involves precision landing. A few days’ time is really insufficient. I’m considering your safety."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I need to get close to a partner. On Sunday, he’s going paragliding at Yushan. This is the shortest time and easiest way to earn his trust."

Lin Hanrui thought it over. The project he had on hand was mostly completed, and he had time. If the four days were fully devoted to learning, given Cheng Qiaobei’s aptitude, it wasn’t an impossible task.

"Let’s give it a try. We’ll start early tomorrow and head to the Danjiang paragliding training ground."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "I don’t have any equipment."

Lin Hanrui said, "I do. We have similar builds; you can use my set."

The two agreed, and Cheng Qiaobei hung up the phone.

After work, he told Chen Ningxi about learning paragliding.

Chen Ningxi was puzzled, "Why did you suddenly want to learn paragliding? Isn’t it too dangerous?"

Liang Lei had taken her flying before, and although she was in awe of the vastness of the motherland, not everyone’s heart can handle the fear from such heights.

Cheng Qiaobei said, "To relax a bit."

If he said it was to get close to a partner, Chen Ningxi would definitely not agree.

"Relaxing doesn’t require learning such a dangerous project." Chen Ningxi was still uneasy.

Cheng Qiaobei embraced her, "Lin Hanrui will teach me. With him around, rest assured."

"Okay..." Chen Ningxi seemed persuaded. She could understand the hardships of Cheng Qiaobei running a company and the enormous pressure he endured. Many people turn to extreme sports to release inner stress through intense sensations.

Cheng Qiaobei gently nudged her, "So, is it okay?"

Chen Ningxi nodded, "Okay."

Cheng Qiaobei hugged her and kissed her, "When I successfully fly, I’ll take a handsome photo for you."

Chen Ningxi wrapped her arms around his neck, tilting her head slightly, "It doesn’t matter if you’re handsome; safety matters. As long as you’re safe, that’s what counts."

"Heh heh..." He chuckled.

"What’s so funny? Did I say something wrong?"

"You’re right, you’re right," Cheng Qiaobei said, "I just remembered I said the same thing to Wei Lai, that safety is key. Indeed, people on the same wavelength share common understanding and language."

"Speaking of the same wavelength..." Cheng Qiaobei smiled meaningfully, "Do you have time tonight to study resonating frequencies?"

She quickly said, "Not tonight, I’m not at my fertile period yet."

Cheng Qiaobei slightly bent over, supported her buttocks to lift her up, and Chen Ningxi clung to him like a koala.

"Who cares about periods or not, don’t be so rigid. If you want to do it, just ask me, don’t be shy."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Ningxi covered his mouth, her face blushing red like a boiled shrimp.

At home, Cheng Qiaobei often spoke without a filter, especially in passionate moments, filled with bawdy talk, making Chen Ningxi wish she’d find a hole to hide in.

He just loved seeing Chen Ningxi’s inability to maintain her composure. The more shy she was, the more he wanted to "tease her."

At this moment, the bright moonlight poured in through the window, and the person on the bed was like a silver fish...

Fingers with clearly defined joints brushed against her small face, her skin like lamb’s fat jade, fine and delicate like cream making one crave it...

The sky had a streak of bright silver, soaring like a hawk above the horizon.

Lin Hanrui first took Cheng Qiaobei for a test flight to experience the altitude and wind speed. As someone who practiced rock climbing, he wasn’t afraid of heights, but he wanted Cheng Qiaobei to feel the impact of combined speed.

Lin Hanrui shouted at Cheng Qiaobei in front of him, "How is it? Any discomfort?"

Cheng Qiaobei raised his hand to make an OK gesture, everything was normal.

During the dive, Lin Hanrui executed a beautiful precision landing.

It had been a long time since he last flew; he had been busy with work and family, so even his beloved extreme sports had been neglected.

Lin Hanrui posed in front of his phone, took a picture, then posted it on his social circle with the caption: Dreams and Freedom.

Quickly, there was a notification, and when he opened it, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

Sister Doesn’t Love You: You want freedom?

The 1.87-meter-tall Lin Hanrui squatted down instantly, holding his phone to reply.

Love God Pikachu: Guessing randomly.

His intention was to worry that Liang Lei might overthink it, but sometimes text and language lack the vivid auditory perception. In Liang Lei’s perspective, Lin Hanrui’s response seemed like a discontented tone questioning her.

Sister Doesn’t Love You: Don’t make me slap you when you’re happiest.

Lin Hanrui was dumbfounded looking at the message.

"..."

Cheng Qiaobei, slightly panting, walked behind Lin Hanrui, looked down, and happened to see him replying to his social circle.

"Enough, stop replying, call Liang Lei."

Lin Hanrui said, "If I call her now, she wouldn’t scold me terribly?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "If you keep replying, it won’t be just a scolding. Trust me, call her."

Lin Hanrui was still sensible, dialing Liang Lei’s phone.

"Leizi, I really didn’t mean anything by my social post earlier, don’t overthink it."

The tone was so gentle that even Cheng Qiaobei was rubbing his arms.

After hanging up, Cheng Qiaobei asked him, "How did it go?"

Lin Hanrui smiled, "Listening to you was right. But, why is the effect of replying not as good as calling?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Those few words you replied with were way harder than you as a person."

"Hey? What do you mean?" Lin Hanrui realized, "Are you saying I’m afraid of Leizi?"

Cheng Qiaobei looked at him, "Aren’t you?"

Lin Hanrui chuckled, "You see things very accurately."

"..."

Cheng Qiaobei put his hand on his waist, looking up at the blue sky, wondering why all his friends seemed to fear their wives?

"Let’s begin." Lin Hanrui patted Cheng Qiaobei’s back, "Pack up the parachute, we’ll go over there, and I’ll teach you from the basics."

On the first day of training, Cheng Qiaobei was bruised all over.

Afraid Ning Xi would worry if she saw, he locked the door while showering, even pulling out long-sleeved pajamas in the summer.

By the fourth day, Cheng Qiaobei could already complete independent flights and precision landings. Although the landings were still off-target, he managed to land within the designated range.
