Zhāng Yuē twitched his mouth; he thought Qí Shèjiāng was joking. He stifled a laugh and moved to the aisle seat, saying, “Look, enjoy it well.” Qí Shèjiāng sat by the window and stared outside from takeoff, even becoming intensely focused. Zhāng Yuē found it strange; how beautiful could the clouds be to warrant such a long gaze? He felt a bit sleepy, but Qí Shèjiāng’s inexplicable seriousness made him hesitant to disturb him. Not having brought an eye mask, Zhāng Yuē casually pulled out a blanket, draping it over himself, partially covering his face as he dozed off. Zhāng Yuē slept very soundly, not even waking up for meals. It wasn’t until they landed that Qí Shèjiāng nudged him awake. His hair was tousled as he stood up in a daze, then realized and asked Qí Shèjiāng, “You didn’t watch the clouds for hours, did you?” Qí Shèjiāng replied, “How many hours did you sleep?” Zhāng Yuē: “…” “No worries, my mom arranged it. She’s back in the capital,” Qí Shèjiāng said. Just as they got in the car, the assistant came to him and said, “Jesse, look at this.” Qí Shèjiāng took his assistant’s phone and was shocked to find that just half an hour after he had gotten off the plane, news had already come out.
【Dian Dian Entertainment: Netizens report that Qí Shèjiāng had a chance encounter with Guānshān Band on the plane. Zhāng Yuē and Qí Shèjiāng were seated together, both appearing stern and not speaking a word, even unwilling to face each other.】 Attached was a short video, three full minutes of Qí Shèjiāng continuously turning to stare out the window while Zhāng Yuē half-covered his head and face, leaning away, not saying a word, and they didn’t make eye contact at all.
Qí Shèjiāng was incredulously amused, “Isn’t this just nonsense?” He never imagined he had been filmed on the plane. After thinking about it, he realized he had been staring outside, which likely led to that misunderstanding. Such speculation reminded him of certain newspapers from eighty years ago; some things really hadn’t changed.
But this misunderstanding is impossible to clear up.
