Chapter 1707: He Decided, Next He Wants to Learn to Fly a Plane

Are they really going to set out to sea?

But even if they’re going out to sea, where’s the speedboat?

Forget it, Ling Nan can’t figure these out either, he thinks it’s better to leave these worries to Uncle. Anyway, learning to drive a speedboat was his suggestion. Since Chinese New Year, they’ve been staying in Gu Garden, and it looks like once he’s done learning, they’ll head straight to Sky Sea City.

After Qin Yize took him to meet the teacher who’s teaching him how to drive a speedboat, Ling Nan realized it’s not as easy as he thought.

The teacher was not only strict but also impatient, demanding him to graduate within half a month. In fact, given his learning pace, a little over a week should be enough, yet he never expected to get seasick.

This was something neither Uncle nor Qin Yi Ze nor Gu Qiaoqiao anticipated.

Back when they took Ling Nan to the Ouyang family’s island, they didn’t travel by boat but hired a private plane. Ling Nan had never had the chance to experience sea voyages, so he never knew his body reacted so strongly to them.

Seeing Ling Nan thinner when visiting him in Gu Garden, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit distressed and said to Uncle, "Uncle, maybe let’s just stop. Don’t let him learn anymore. Ling Nan has lost a lot of weight."

In the big living room of Gu Garden, Uncle glanced at Ling Nan, who was sitting on the sofa looking at yacht information nearby, and leisurely said, "It’s nothing, think of it as a way to lose weight."

Ling Nan’s face immediately dropped.

He’s not fat, though.

Besides, even if he were, he wouldn’t want to lose weight this way, would he?

He didn’t expect himself to be so useless.

"Ling Nan isn’t fat, he’s learned a lot of things already, maybe just let this go; Qin Yi Ze knows how to drive anyway, and can handle it if necessary." Gu Qiaoqiao tried to persuade Uncle.

Because the feedback from Teacher Chen was true, Ling Nan learns very quickly, but he’s just not suited for driving a yacht.

This isn’t related to his physical fitness, and Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t pinpoint the problem.

That’s why she felt it’s a bit cruel to make Ling Nan endure this.

The feeling of being seasick is truly unpleasant.

Gu Junbai glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao and laughed, "You siblings have quite a bond; you even plead for him."

"Yes, Uncle, he’s much like Zishu."

Zishu is preparing for military academy exams, passed the physical tests, and the interviews went well too - all outstanding results. Now he’s just waiting for the cultural exams, and that’s why he only comes home on weekends.

He doesn’t go out on Sundays either, staying home to have Qianqian tutor him.

From Gu Qiaoqiao’s observations, he’s got the look of someone extremely focused on studying.

Truth be told, the time she’s spent with Ling Nan these years surpasses that spent with Zishu.

Speaking of Zishu, Gu Qiaoqiao grew a bit absent-minded, thinking that in the future when Zishu goes to military school, there’ll be even less time to see him. Luckily, there’s summer vacation, and she should take this chance to make up for it.

"Qiaoqiao, my trip to Sky Sea City involves something that requires us to go out to sea. Privacy and safety must be considered. I know Ah Ze has no problem with this, but that’s not the main point."

"What is the main point?"

Gu Junbai didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he leisurely took a sip of tea, "I never thought you and Ah Ze needed to come with us. The reason I wanted Ling Nan to learn to drive a speedboat is partly for convenience in going out to sea, and partly for his health."

"Is there a problem with his health?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked worriedly, her voice lowering.

However, she didn’t make a point of whispering since Uncle had mentioned it openly, signifying Ling Nan should understand this himself.

Thus there was no need to hide it.

"Xiao Nan has good aptitude, making quick progress in martial arts, but has reached a bottleneck. If he can break through his physical limits this time, he could reach a higher level." Gu Junbai explained succinctly.

Gu Qiaoqiao wanted to say that Ling Nan’s current abilities were already impressive. In today’s era, scientific culture is needed; of course, high combat power is also nice, but it’s not the mainstream. Besides, Gu Qiaoqiao knew that Ling Nan’s skills may not be the highest in the world, but he is among the best.

He’s fully capable of self-defense and protecting others without further advancement, sparing him from more hardship.

Gu Qiaoqiao said no more; her gaze shifted to Ling Nan, who was buried in his studies, dizzy from seasickness during the day and studying at night. She smirked, at least she didn’t need to study so hard now.

Life is good!

Ling Nan didn’t get caught up worrying about his issues, perhaps Uncle had discussed this with him long ago; now it’s just about whether he can endure this challenge.

After all, the human body is quite mysterious; some people are physically fit yet allergic to certain smells or pollen, even lifetime issues with no resolution. This can’t be helped, just hope for Ling Nan’s good fortune.

Gu Qiaoqiao decided not to bring it up anymore.

Thankfully, after more than half a month, Ling Nan unexpectedly stopped getting seasick. He had mastered theoretical knowledge excellently, allowing him to pass the exams smoothly and obtained the related certification. On the day he received the certificate, Ling Nan delightedly performed several somersaults.

He’s made up his mind, the next step is to learn to fly an airplane.

Isn’t it all about sea, land, and air?

Now he just needs one more, he must complete the trio, right?

Qin Yize fully supports his idea and promises that when he buys a plane, Ling Nan can be the one to fly it.

Buy a plane?

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize and Ling Nan, who were serious about this, along with the subtly smiling Gu Junbai, wondering if she had fallen behind the times.

Coming home in the evening, Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao, like always, awaited the little fists or feet of the fetus in the belly, what is called fetal movement.

The first time these occurred, Qin Yize was amazed.

The pregnancy wasn’t far along, couldn’t tell if it was a hand or foot, but it did make a small bump on her belly.

Simply adorable beyond words.

At first, he didn’t dare touch it; later, it became slightly easier.

Yet Qin Yize reckoned their baby must be mischievous without a doubt, with frequent fetal movements.

Thankfully, it hasn’t affected Qiaoqiao’s health.

When the baby in the belly was resting, Qin Yize took the calendar from the desk, pointing at the date, eyes gleaming with excitement, "Qiaoqiao, today’s exactly six months for our baby; according to Uncle, you can communicate with them using your fingers."

Current medical detection equipment significantly affects the fetus, used only when necessary, so Qin Yize hasn’t taken Qiaoqiao for a B ultrasound.

After all, he’s quite accomplished in this field, deeply familiar with certain things, so he’s greatly looking forward to this stage.
