Soong Yan stood tall, a look of pride on his face. "Madam, don't you think the young master is quite impressive?" Ruan Su smiled. "My husband is truly amazing, super suave, and incredibly skilled." She knew that Soong Yan would report her every word and action to Bo Xingzhi. They arrived in London at 11:00 p.m. As soon as Ruan Su stepped off the plane, she sneezed. Even though she was wearing a pale yellow dress with a khaki trench coat over it, the night air was bitterly cold, and waves of chill ran over her until she could barely stand it. Soong Yan stayed by her side as they waited for Bo Xingzhi. After the man finished his work, he finally came out, followed by the chief flight attendant and several flight attendants. They strode forward in a group, a striking sight in the airport. Bo Xingzhi in particular stood out, tall with long legs, his pilot's uniform emphasizing his cool, restrained aura. Ruan Su gave him a sweet smile, but with the divorce looming, she held herself back from saying or doing anything in front of his colleagues. She stayed quietly beside Soong Yan. "See you tomorrow night, Aircraft Commander Bo." "Goodbye, Aircraft Commander Bo."

After arriving at the hotel, Ruan Su took a shower and then lay down on the bed to sleep, feeling a bit groggy. Bo Xingzhi, after his own shower, noticed she was already asleep. He lay down beside her and was about to switch off the light when he felt the alarming heat emanating from her body. "Ruan Su?" Her eyes remained tightly shut, indicating she was deep in slumber. He placed his large hand on her forehead, his brow furrowing slightly. "Why is she so hot?" Seeing her unusually flushed cheeks, he promptly called room service. "Could you please call a doctor? Preferably a female one." Around 10 minutes later, a doctor arrived with her medical kit. She immediately took Ruan Su's temperature, which read 39 degrees Celsius. "The lady has caught a chill. Sir, could you assist me by removing her clothes?" the female doctor asked Bo Xingzhi. "I need to administer a shot to reduce her fever." A flicker of concern crossed Bo Xingzhi's usually impassive face as he used his long fingers to help undress Ruan Su. After the doctor administered the shot and prescribed some medication, she departed. Throughout the night, Bo Xingzhi intermittently checked the little woman's temperature, worried that her fever wasn't subsiding.
