"What takes you so long?"
"I..I got a stomachache."
"Did you feel okay now?" Wang Zhilan worriedly asked.
"Yes, yes..let's queue up."
They grabbed their respective hand-carry baggage and queue up the line to board the plane. While Wang Zhilan busy with her phone, LinLin nudged Wang Hua's elbow.
"You lied about the stomachache," she whispered.
"I'm not."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Although LinLin felt skeptical about it, she did not pry further. So they talked about something else until they had boarded the plane. They all decided to catch some sleep during the two hours flight, so after buckled up, they wore their sleep masks and dozed off.
Meanwhile, Danial went out of the airport after Wang Hua disappeared into the departure gate. He leisurely drive back to the campus as he still had his last paper tomorrow. He recalled back his situation this morning, when Micheal squealed loudly thus disturbing his sleep.
