Chapter 1152: Chapter 1198: What a coincidence!

"Besides the five people within our country, many other countries also have masters whose skills are not much different from ours. I’ve met two from Japan, and two from Korea. I haven’t encountered any from the other countries, but other people among us have. Hence, there are indeed many masters in this world. It’s just that those of us here now generally do not get involved in national affairs, so you’ve never come across them."

After saying this, Li Yifei couldn’t help but feel secretly relieved. If he had encountered such masters in the past, he probably wouldn’t know how many times he would have died by now.

Three days later, Li Yifei arrived at the airport, ready to head back to Mile City. These three days had been like a dream to him, yielding such immense gains that he was still immersed in the profound mysteries of Martial Arts. While walking, he didn’t pay attention to his surroundings.

"Ouch!" Following a soft exclamation, a woman bumped into Li Yifei.

Li Yifei instinctively reached out to steady her arm, helping her regain balance, and then both of them looked at each other, taken aback.

"Yifei!"

"Aoki Reiko!"

Li Yifei had almost forgotten about Aoki Reiko during this time. He really didn’t expect to run into her at the airport today.

Seeing Li Yifei here, Aoki Reiko was also quite surprised and said, "Yifei, what a coincidence to see you here again."

"Yeah, it’s really a coincidence. By the way, haven’t you returned to your country?"

"I stayed in my country for a while, but now I’ve grown very fond of Huaxia, so I’ve come back."

"So you are..."

"I’m going to Mile City."

"You’re going to Mile City?" Li Yifei’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Aoki Reiko narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Does Yifei mind?"

Realizing his reaction had been a bit over the top, Li Yifei quickly said, "It’s not that I’m unwelcoming, but it surprises me that you’re visiting Mile City. There are many wonderful places in Huaxia, and Mile City really isn’t one of the top choices."

"Hehe, I don’t know why, but I have this mysterious feeling that I could find something I’ve lost in Mile City, so I still want to visit."

Li Yifei internally broke out in a sweat. The ’something lost’ Aoki Reiko was referring to was naturally his Mu Fei identity. People say that women’s intuition is unreliable, but Aoki Reiko’s intuition was uncannily accurate.

However, Li Yifei certainly couldn’t show any sign of this and instead said excitedly, "Then that’s an honor for our Mile City."

"Thank you, Yifei. I’m not familiar with Mile City, so I’ll have to rely on you to look after me." Saying this, Aoki Reiko bowed to Li Yifei.

"You’re too polite. It’s what I should do. It’s almost time; we should go through security."

After passing through the security check, they chatted briefly before starting to board the plane. Li Yifei didn’t have anyone book his ticket this time, so he only got a seat in the economy class. To his surprise, Aoki Reiko also bought an economy ticket, and her seat happened to be right next to his. It seemed like whatever he feared would happen, there was nowhere to hide.

"What a coincidence?" they said simultaneously, then couldn’t help but laugh.

Both of them carried only simple luggage. Li Yifei placed the luggage on the overhead shelf, then let Aoki Reiko sit by the window while he took the middle seat.

At the moment, the cabin was rather chaotic with everyone finding their seats and settling in. Li Yifei and Aoki Reiko didn’t talk much. When things quieted down, they exchanged only a few simple words. Despite having not seen each other for a long time, they didn’t really have any common topics for the time being. Aoki Reiko seemed to be in low spirits and after a while, she apologized, saying she wanted to rest, and then closed her eyes.

This actually relieved Li Yifei. What he feared the most now was having an extensive conversation with Aoki Reiko. She was very sensitive, and who knew which sentence might reveal his secrets.

Not long after the plane took off, Aoki Reiko opened her eyes and apologetically said to Li Yifei, "I need to step out for a moment. Could Yifei please explain for me?"

Li Yifei nodded and spoke to another man beside him in Chinese, who glanced at Aoki Reiko before moving aside to let her through.

Five or six minutes later, Aoki Reiko returned and was sideways, trying to get back to her seat. When she reached Li Yifei, the plane suddenly underwent severe turbulence, causing Aoki Reiko to lose her balance and fall into Li Yifei’s arms.

This was so sudden that Li Yifei had no time to prepare; Aoki Reiko fell fully into his embrace.

"Ah!" Aoki Reiko let out a soft cry, then instantly sprang up, but... just as she did, the plane jerked again, and she once again... fell into Li Yifei’s arms.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is currently encountering turbulence, which may cause some bumps. Please remain seated, fasten your seatbelts, and refrain from walking to avoid injury."

The pleasant voice of the flight attendant came through the speakers, and the plane continued to shake incessantly, as if passing through a particularly strong air current. Aoki Reiko tried to stand up, but each attempt ended with her falling back into Li Yifei’s arms due to the turbulence.

Li Yifei was frankly speechless. It was as if what he feared most had happened. He had wanted to keep his distance from Aoki Reiko, and yet here he was with such close contact. Could it be that fate was on Aoki Reiko’s side?

If Aoki Reiko simply sat still on Li Yifei’s lap, there wouldn’t be a significant problem, but her constant getting up and sitting down made every contact intensely challenging. After all, Li Yifei was a man with normal desires, and even more so than an average person. Despite not tending to such thoughts during his days in the Capital City, Aoki Reiko’s stimulation had quickly elicited a reaction from him.

"Miss Reiko, please, I beg you not to stand up anymore." Li Yifei meant for her to stop troubling him, as it only made him feel more uncomfortable.

However, Aoki Reiko completely misunderstood Li Yifei’s intention. She felt the change in his body, and upon hearing what he said, she thought Li Yifei was trying to take advantage of the situation. She had only been intimate with Mu Fei in her life and had never gotten so close to any other man. She was both embarrassed and indignant; if it weren’t for being on a plane, she might have slapped Li Yifei.

Nevertheless, Aoki Reiko managed to grasp the situation; the more anxious she became, the more she contacted Li Yifei. So she quickly grabbed the seat in front of her and shifted her body forward, settling down to the side of Li Yifei’s knee, minimizing further contact with him.

Li Yifei finally felt a bit relieved, but the sensation he had just experienced was indeed intoxicating. Although Aoki Reiko’s posterior was not large, it was quite sensual. Now sitting on his knees, Li Yifei couldn’t help but recall the scene on the naval ship when he had seen Aoki Reiko completely naked.

The two maintained this awkward position, and the man next to them looked enviously at Li Yifei, wishing the turbulence had started earlier. Then, perhaps the beautiful woman would have been seated on his lap, but now he could only watch with longing eyes.

When the turbulence finally subsided, Aoki Reiko immediately stood up, moved to the adjacent seat, and sat down without looking at Li Yifei, her face clearly showing displeasure.

Li Yifei noticed Aoki Reiko’s apparent anger. He cleared his throat, intending to explain, but after hesitating, he decided against it. If Aoki Reiko had a bad impression of him, it might not be such a bad thing, keeping their future entanglements to a minimum.

The rest of the journey passed in silence, with Aoki Reiko not speaking to Li Yifei until they disembarked from the plane.

Li Yifei would’ve preferred to just walk away and distance himself from Aoki Reiko, but he thought it might seem too deliberate. As he walked through the passageway, he still spoke to Aoki Reiko: "I’m really sorry about what happened just now. I apologize."

A flush appeared on Aoki Reiko’s face as she turned and glared at Li Yifei, "You do this, does your wife know?"

Li Yifei forced a smile, "I really didn’t mean to earlier. If I say it was a normal physiological response, would you believe me?"

"Hmph, if a person doesn’t harbor filthy thoughts, they won’t have filthy reactions."

"Since you believe that, then I have nothing to explain," Li Yifei shrugged, then said no more.

The corridor was long; after walking for five minutes, they still hadn’t reached the exit. Seeing that Li Yifei was not offering any further explanation, Aoki Reiko began to reflect on the incident. If Li Yifei had truly intended to take advantage of her, he could have used the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist or more, but Li Yifei had not done so. It seemed everything was due to the turbulence, and Li Yifei made no superfluous movements.

As a Japanese woman, although Aoki Reiko had never engaged in genuine intimate behaviors with men, she was trained on serving men. She understood men’s reactions in such situations better than a married woman might, and she knew that Li Yifei’s response was indeed normal.

Li Yifei had helped her, and he wasn’t to blame for the situation. Her treatment of him was indeed unfair. After walking a few more meters, Aoki Reiko finally turned around and apologetically said to Li Yifei, "I’m sorry, I overthought earlier. Yifei Jun, please forgive my attitude just now."

Li Yifei was taken aback, then smiled, "It’s okay. I thought you would be angry for a long time."

Aoki Reiko gave a toothy grin, sincerely adding, "It was just an accident. If I blamed you for that, I indeed wouldn’t know what’s good for me."

Li Yifei admired her inwardly. He might not like the Japanese as a nation, but a Japanese woman like Aoki Reiko who could openly and sincerely admit her mistakes when she realized she was wrong was indeed a rare and excellent character trait.
