Summer breaks were the period of time students looked forward to the most because it was a two-month break, enough for students to drown themselves in the delight of a holiday and feel like they were not students but instead, free birds.

No one could restrain them, no one could make them go to school, and no teacher could order them to do things that they did not enjoy doing.

Little Yun Zhu, Duan Li and Duan Ya who finally made it to the summer break really wanted to have a good time relaxing.

Now that Yun Zhu saw Yun Jian coming home from traveling, he could not help looking at her hopefully. He had asked about Si Yi-gege earlier because he wanted the latter to take the three of them out. He knew that Si Yi-gege pampered him the most—not even his jiejie coddled him like Si Yi-gege did!

If Yun Zhu wanted to go on a trip, Si Yi-gege would surely agree to take him! Furthermore, Duan Li had asked their classmate, Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui said that Si Yi-gege pampered Yun Zhu so much because he wanted to court his sister. Xiao Hui had even said that as long as he helped Si Yi-gege with it, his Si Yi-gege would treat him even better.

Yun Jian no idea that her own younger brother had completely sold her. Once she heard that the three kids wanted to go on a trip, she got down to look at Yun Zhu and nodded.

“Okay. Where do you want to go, Xiao Zhu, Chessie and Yaya?” Yun Jian asked.

“Yay! We can go on a trip! We want to have a holiday at the beach! Jiejie, we want to go to the beach! There’ll be a lot of seafood there. We can go swimming too, and there’ll be sand. We can catch crabs on the beach. Xiao Hui from our class has been and he said that it’d be a lifetime regret if we didn’t go to the beach!”

Little Yun Zhu clapped his hands innocently, unable to control his thrill.

“What do you mean lifetime regret? You’re still young.” Yun Jian tapped Yun Zhu’s lips softly and told him that it was an inauspicious thing to say.

Yun Jian knew Yun Zhu quite well. Knowing that he wanted to go to the seaside, it was actually a good choice that she had promised Ning Xia before this. At least they would have a local guiding them when they arrived at the destination of their trip; it would be a lot more convenient because one could easy take a wrong turn when one was unfamiliar with the places they traveled to.

There was nothing like the GPS in this era yet and cellphones could only make calls or send messages. The most it could do was offer a game of Snake.

In the end, they discussed it with Qin Yirou and decided to make it a family trip. Ge Junjian would apply for a work leave and go with them. The time was fixed at a week later because that was when Ge Junjian would have time for his work leave.

Si Yi was unable to come since he was busy but he did say that he would try his best to make it and ask for Yun Jian to take the three kids there and have fun first.

The week passed in a blink of eyes and they came to the day before they departed for the trip. As it would be a journey of a ride from Longmen City to Ning City, Yun Zhu, Duan Li and Duan Ya were excited this night like they were going on a spring outing the next day, pulling Yun Jian to go to the grocery store.

“I want to get three bags of chips!” Yun Zhu was currently standing by a rack in the grocery store. He could not reach the height where the chips were, so he stood on his tiptoes and asked for Yun Jian to help him.

Just as Yun Jian turned around, she saw an ostentatiously dressed woman in her thirties to forties walking over and shoving Yun Zhu away with her seemingly perfect proportions before sweeping the last five bags of potato chips on the rack into her shopping cart.

The woman had even thrown Yun Zhu a glare, grumbling under her breath, “Move aside, whippersnapper!”
