Li Chen boarded the plane, and Chu Pojun and the others also left.
He found his seat according to the ticket, and as soon as he sat down, a surprised exclamation came from beside him.
Li Chen turned his head and smiled, "What a coincidence."
Yes, this girl was Selina, who had sat next to him before he flew to Vancouver. It was such a striking coincidence that after so many days, he had run into Selina again.
A charming smile appeared on Selina’s face, she didn’t expect to run into this handsome man again. She had complained about being sent on another business trip last night, only to find that the trip had turned out for the better.
"Li Chen, do you remember what we talked about last time?" Selina’s eyes suddenly became misty.
Seeing this young woman, Li Chen was also stirred emotionally.
"We talked about it, but you didn’t call me," Selina said, her eyes already brimming with tears.
At that moment, a flight attendant walked by, her eyes lit up when she saw Li Chen—it was the person who had saved her before.
Before long, the plane took off.
Li Chen chatted with Selina and then, the cry of a baby came from nearby. Li Chen turned to look and was surprised to see an infant in a woman’s arms crying.
The cabin had been very quiet, some people were asleep, and the child’s crying broke the silence, the wailing sounding particularly grating.
The middle-aged woman was a bit panicked and tried to soothe the baby, but no matter how she tried, the child kept crying and waving its little hands in the air.
People stood up, looking for the source of the noise.
"Can you not stop the baby from crying?" someone said with a frown.
"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry," the Huaxia woman apologized quickly, but the more flustered she was, the louder the baby cried, and it wouldn’t stop no matter how she tried to pacify it.
Li Chen saw this and stood up, walking over to the woman.
"Let me try," Li Chen said with a slight smile. Then, he borrowed a US Dollar bill from someone nearby, unfolded it, and showed it to the baby.
The people around them watched Li Chen curiously, not knowing what he was about to do.
"This is a piece of paper, right, little baby?" Li Chen said with a smile, looking at the infant. Although the baby was still fussing, its gaze shifted to Li Chen.
"Look, can you see it? I can make it disappear," Li Chen took the US Dollar and pushed it into his cupped hand. The bill slowly went in, and then Li Chen opened his left hand to reveal nothing inside.
"Gone, see?" Li Chen wiggled his fingers in front of the baby, which seemed to catch its attention, and the crying began to subside as the baby’s large eyes started watching him.
The people around were amazed, could this man actually do magic?
In no time at all, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Li Chen.
Li Chen’s fingers waved like ripples, and then all at once, his right hand clenched while his left hand slowly emerged from the right, and the US Dollar reappeared in his hand.
This scene elicited gasps of wonder from the onlookers; it was unimaginable, and the little baby also stopped crying to watch Li Chen.
Li Chen gave a slight smile and suddenly quickened his movements. The dollar bill vanished into his left hand, appeared in his right, then disappeared in his right only to reappear in his left.
Watching the rapid movements of Li Chen’s hands, everyone was stunned—it was too exaggerated.
Li Chen chuckled, looking at the baby’s cute and dumbfounded expression. Then, in full view of everyone, he seemed to swallow the US Dollar.
Everyone around exclaimed, then saw Li Chen burp, and the little baby, watching Li Chen do this, suddenly made a cheerful "yah" sound.
Li Chen smiled, and under everyone’s gaze, reached out to the baby and pulled, drawing the same US Dollar bill from its clothing.
Another round of amazed applause followed, and then a burst of clapping.
Everyone stood, looking at Li Chen with admiration on their faces.
The baby, looking at Li Chen, also showed a smile, laughing with a "yah yah yah," its small hands waving as if trying to grab the US Dollar in Li Chen’s hand.
