Mengmeng gazed at the rows of genuine leather sofas, a mixture of confusion and curiosity swirling in her eyes. For a moment, she was utterly indecisive.
Jiang Ning gently took her small hand, a doting smile on his face. "Mengmeng, come. Let's sit on that modular sofa over there."
The two quickly settled comfortably onto the sofa.
Jiang Ning looked down at Mengmeng, his eyes full of affection. "We'll be on the plane for over two hours, Mengmeng. How about I teach you some German? Next time Uncle Schmidt visits, you can chat with him fluently in German!"
"Yes, yes!" Mengmeng's eyes sparkled with excitement. She responded eagerly, "Last time Uncle Schmidt visited, I didn't understand a single word you and he were saying!"
Mengmeng had always been intensely curious about the unknown. The moment she heard she'd be learning German, she started jumping for joy.
"Alright, then I'll start teaching you now. Good morning, Mengmeng. In German, that's *Guten Morgen, Mengmeng*."
Jiang Ning adopted a serious expression and began teaching.
Mengmeng followed along with impressive accuracy, her voice still childish as she repeated, "Good morning, Mengmeng. Guten Morgen, Mengmeng."
Jiang Ning patiently corrected her pronunciation. "Guten Morgen, Mengmeng."
"Guten Morgen, Mengmeng."
Mengmeng repeated the phrase again, this time with noticeably improved pronunciation.
Jiang Ning immediately gave her a thumbs-up. "Great job, Mengmeng! You said that perfectly. Let's keep going."
Five minutes flew by in an instant.
*Ding!*
A mechanical system notification chimed in Jiang Ning's mind: "Congratulations, Host! You have earned a Foreign Language Reward for teaching Mengmeng a new language. You may choose one authentic foreign language skill from English, Japanese, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Arabic... and many more. Please make your selection."
"No way! Teaching Mengmeng a new foreign language actually got me a reward? Then I'll choose Japanese," Jiang Ning said, both surprised and delighted. He made the decision almost without hesitation.
"Understood. Congratulations, Host, on acquiring an authentic Japanese skill."
In that instant, a torrent of authentic Japanese knowledge surged into Jiang Ning's mind like a tidal wave.
Jiang Ning could clearly feel a peculiar transformation occurring in his throat. Speaking had become increasingly smooth and natural, as if he had already mastered this language for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Ning suddenly pause and stare blankly, Mengmeng anxiously urged, "Daddy, hurry up and teach me more!"
Mengmeng's voice snapped Jiang Ning back to reality. He quickly responded, "Oh, oh, right. Let's continue, Mengmeng. 'Nice to meet you' in German is: *Schön, Sie kennenzulernen*."
Mengmeng immediately focused and repeated after him: "Nice to meet you, *Schön, Sie kennenzulernen*."
And so they continued, one patiently teaching and the other diligently learning, immersed in this warm and engaging atmosphere.
Ten minutes later, the flight attendant approached with light steps and a professional smile. "Mr. Jiang, Miss Mengmeng, our plane will be taking off soon. Please fasten your seatbelts."
Jiang Ning nodded with a smile. "Yes, thank you."
He first carefully fastened Mengmeng's seatbelt, ensuring she was secure, before fastening his own.
Mengmeng's little face flushed with excitement, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Daddy, our plane is going to take off soon! Will I be like a little bird, looking down at the world from the sky?"
"Yes, that's right," Jiang Ning replied with a smile. "But we have to wait until the plane is actually in the air."
*Rumble, rumble, rumble*—the plane's engines roared to life, and the fuselage began to move slowly down the runway.
After a while, the plane gradually picked up speed.
"Daddy, Daddy, we're taking off!" Mengmeng shouted excitedly, her small body brimming with boundless energy.
Jiang Ning, on the other hand, was a master aircraft engineer, but this was his first time flying. News reports of plane crashes and accidents kept flashing through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Mengmeng, however, had no such worries. She was filled with anticipation and couldn't wait for the plane to surge into the clouds.
*Rumble, rumble, rumble*—the plane's speed increased.
The wheels left the runway, and the plane successfully took off.
Mengmeng sat on the sofa chair, clapping her hands nonstop and cheering, "Yay! Yay! Daddy, Daddy, the plane's flying! We're flying!"
Jiang Ning forced himself to remain calm and replied casually, "Yes, our plane is flying."
Before long, the plane was soaring smoothly through the sky.
"Daddy, Daddy, look! Those are clouds! Are we flying above the clouds like little birds?" Mengmeng exclaimed, pointing out the window and turning to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning followed her gaze and nodded. "Yes, that's right. Those are clouds. We're flying in the sky now, Mengmeng."
"Yay, yay! We're flying in the sky! Yay, yay! Daddy, look! There are mountains below us, right under our feet! And rivers! And little villages!"
Mengmeng pressed her face against the window, shouting with excitement. Pure joy radiated from her face, without a trace of nervousness.
"Mr. Jiang, Miss Mengmeng, would you like something to drink?" A flight attendant approached with a smile and asked softly.
Jiang Ning paused for a moment before replying, "I'll have a coffee, and a glass of warm milk for Mengmeng."
"Daddy, I just had warm milk this morning! I don't want any more!" Mengmeng turned away, pouting.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then gently persuaded her, "How about a glass of warm water instead? The little baby cells in your tummy need to drink water too, you know."
Although Mengmeng wasn't entirely enthusiastic, when she heard that the "little cell baby" in her belly also needed water, she had to suppress her urge to drink something else and obediently nodded.
"Alright, Mengmeng, you've enjoyed the view for a while. Shall we continue learning German? The German word for 'airplane' is *Luftfahrzeuge*." Jiang Ning tried to redirect her attention back to their studies.
Mengmeng immediately mimicked him, saying, "An airplane is called *Luftfahrzeuge*."
"Wow, Mengmeng, you said that perfectly!" Jiang Ning praised her with a wide smile and a thumbs-up, his praise overflowing.
And so, the father and daughter happily taught and learned on the plane, immersed in the warmth of their shared atmosphere.
Before they knew it, over two hours had quietly slipped away.
The plane Jiang Ning and Mengmeng were on had already arrived at Kyoto Airport and was preparing for a safe landing.
"Daddy, Daddy, is our plane tired from flying and needs to land and rest?" Mengmeng asked curiously.
Jiang Ning smiled and patiently explained, "Because we've already reached our destination."
Mengmeng's eyes lit up as she pressed, "So we're already in Kyoto, the city you told me about?"
Jiang Ning nodded in confirmation. "Yes, we've arrived at Kyoto Airport."
