Chapter 138: Sky Screen Live Streaming System (13)

For this return trip, Xie Yang bought economy class tickets.

There were no more full rows of seats available in business class, and it would be troublesome to swap with others.

When choosing seats, who doesn't pick the ones they like? She couldn't force others to swap just because she was traveling with children, so she decided not to fret; economy class was fine too.

In any case, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future to let them experience first class and business class.

It was their first time flying, and the two children were so excited that they didn't care at all whether it was business or economy class.

Once seated, under Xie Yang's guidance, the two children fastened their seatbelts and couldn't wait to press against the porthole to look at the scenery outside.

Feng Zinuo made a fuss about wanting to sit with the siblings, but he was suppressed by his mother.

It made sense; if three children sat in one row, the passengers in front and behind would probably complain.

"Auntie, can the big grey chicken really fly?"

The two-and-a-half-year-old child's pronunciation wasn't very accurate yet, but as her older brother, he was used to it; he corrected her pronunciation once before saying, "Auntie said it can fly, so it can fly."

"Then when will it fly?"

"I don't know either."

"Is it because it's full? But it's so... so big, how many bugs does it have to eat to be full?"

The innocent, childish words amused the flight attendant who had come to check the overhead bins; she smiled and gave the siblings two sets of paper puzzles that could be played on the small tray tables.

These were prepared by the flight crew specifically for the children on the flight.

Seeing that Feng Zinuo, sitting diagonally behind them, had also received some, the siblings thanked her and happily accepted them.

Now, they had two toys in their hands: one was the small Lego set given by the hotel's restaurant manager, and the other was the small puzzle they had just received.

They carefully packed them into the small backpacks Xie Yang had bought them when visiting the Film and Television City; they had no time to play with them right now.

In fact, from the moment they boarded the plane until an hour after takeoff, the siblings' eyes had barely left the window.

Especially when the plane ascended, the two children would cover their little mouths and let out surprised, low gasps from time to time.

Even when they reached the stratosphere and all they could see were large, similar-looking white clouds—which easily caused visual fatigue after a while—the two children were still tireless.

It wasn't until the flight attendant pushed the meal cart over to deliver refreshments that they finally withdrew their gaze.

After savoring the exquisite snacks and juice, Xie Yang thought they would finally focus on the puzzles or Legos, but to her surprise, they turned their heads and continued to look at the "scenery" outside the porthole.

The endurance of their curiosity was truly extraordinary!

After getting off the plane and collecting their luggage, Xie Yang hailed a taxi and took the siblings home.

She currently lived in a studio apartment she had bought seven years ago after getting into Beijing City University.

It was just a few minutes' walk to the school, she could still go back to her alma mater to use the library after graduation, and it was right above the subway, making travel very convenient.

The studio apartment wasn't large, totaling only 45 square meters, with a bedroom featuring a bathroom with wet and dry separation and a floor-to-ceiling bay window, and an open-plan dining room connected to the living room; at first glance, it was just two rooms plus a south-facing balcony, but it was enough for one person to live in.

That was why she hadn't moved in all these years.

But now that her nephew and niece had arrived, she definitely had to change to a different place to live.

Also, their household registration and schooling needed to be settled as soon as possible.

She wasn't in a hurry about her niece, who wouldn't even be three years old after the summer vacation, so she wouldn't be able to attend kindergarten until at least next year.

But her nephew was seven; he would be starting school after the summer vacation, and he would already be a year older than his classmates, so this matter could not be delayed.

Fortunately, with the certificate issued by the public security organ, she could go handle the household registration and then take him to enroll in school.

She had already scouted out a high-end residential complex with good security and a decent school district, and she would contact an agent tomorrow to find time to view the property.

The studio apartment Xie Yang bought back then was located on the 28th floor; it was a bit cloudy today, and standing by the bay window looking out, it felt like being amidst a sea of clouds.

"Auntie, are we living in the sky?"

After arriving home, the two children toured the room with Xie Yang and then squatted in front of the bay window, unable to look away.

The Sky Screen was broadcasting this scene.

Today was another day with a massive amount of information; the Daliang People had been looking up at the Sky Screen almost the entire time, their necks sore from watching:

【I burned four sticks of incense, and the Little Marquis and the others have already traveled three thousand miles! What incredible speed!】

【My heavens! The inn in the Heavenly Palace wasn't the highest after all; the place where Auntie lives is the true sky! Outside the window, immortal mist swirls; if this isn't the sky, where else could it be?】

At some point, the Daliang People had started calling Xie Yang "Auntie" as well.

Some even respectfully addressed her as "Immortal Aunt."

【Immortal Aunt said she lives in Beijing; is that our Daliang's Jingcheng? No wonder everything we've seen along the way is indeed more magnificent than the places before. The towering buildings reach the clouds, row upon row, the roads are wider and more beautiful, and there are even overpasses built on the roads, with square-shaped carriages lined up in long rows on them, showing that the population is extremely vast.】

【However, isn't the place where Auntie lives a bit small? It's just one couch, not even as spacious as an inn. With the Little Marquis and the Princess added, how can they fit?】

【Perhaps houses in the sky are more expensive.】

【If I could trade my family's three-courtyard mansion for a pigeon-cage-like immortal house in the clouds, I would be more than happy to do so!】

【A day's tour in the sky is worth more than countless gold in the human world! This Prince is willing to trade a five-courtyard mansion for it!】

How many people dare to call themselves "this Prince"?

Xiao Yanze stared at this bullet comment with an expressionless face, sneering in his heart: Parasites who don't produce anything, only knowing how to squander the foundation laid by their ancestors, just to show off!

Over here, Xie Jilin also turned his head and asked Xie Yang, "Auntie, are we really in the sky?"

Xie Yang was caught between laughter and tears: "No, it's just that the floor we live on is quite high. It's cloudy today, and visibility is low, so it looks misty when you look out. When it's sunny, you'll be able to see the roads and the vehicles coming and going below."

Since the conversation had reached this point, she took the opportunity to mention moving to the two children: "We'll go look at houses tomorrow or the day after, and pick a larger one in a good school district. After the summer vacation, we'll send Linbao to school."

"Is it the primary school Feng Zinuo talked about?"

"Yes! You go to kindergarten when you turn three, and primary school when you turn six, and after that, there's middle school, high school, and university... Auntie studied until university graduation, and as for you two, as long as you like to study, you can study for as long as you want; Auntie can afford to support you."

"Auntie, what about Jinbao?" little Jinchu asked in a soft, milky voice, "Can Jinbao go to school?"

"Of course! Whether you're a boy or a girl, you have to go to school when you reach the right age. It's just that Jinbao isn't old enough yet; you can go next year."

Jinbao nodded vigorously: "Jinbao will study hard!"

This realization once again overturned the worldview of the Daliang People.

The Heavenly Palace actually allows female children to attend school?

What kind of logic is this!

Xiao Yanze gazed at the Sky Screen, watching Xie Yang patiently and systematically educating her niece and nephew, his deep eyes filled with contemplation.

Is this what a woman of the Heavenly Palace who has studied books is like?

She speaks with substance and carries herself with poise.

She has the same long, dark hair reaching her waist, yet possesses a wisdom that the women of the Daliang dynasty cannot hope to reach.

Recalling his childhood, his elder sister once wept and asked their mother: Why could her younger brother go to the Imperial Study to study, but she could not; in what way was she inferior to her brother?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yanze turned and returned to the Imperial Study, picking up his brush to draft a proposal for the construction of a Women's Academy.

"Summon the Libationer of the Imperial Academy to discuss matters at once!"

"At once!"
