Lin Wan sat on a mat and took pictures.

Li Yanchen wore sunglasses. His hands were crossed behind his back.

The two old ladies went down the adult slides to have a bit of fun.

The slide wasn’t that high. When they descended, the water splashed on them, and they laughed heartily.

Lin Wan made it her job to take candid pictures to capture everyone’s happiness.

In Yun City, Xia MO was on her phone when she noticed Lin Wan’s photos from the previous day.

She felt a little envious. “Old Xiao, how about we also take a trip somewhere?”

Xiao Tianlin was happy to listen to his wife. The winter in Yun City was very cold, and all the performances had been postponed. Xiao Tianlin took an early holiday and spent his days lying around at home.

Xiao Yi heard his mother’s suggestion. “How about we contact Li Zexin? Joining them would be great.”

“Good idea. Let me see if their rented homestay still has rooms available. It would be lively with more people. Let me message Lin Wan.”

“Dad, you want to go on a trip too?” Xiao Yi asked his father.

“People who don’t have to work don’t have the right to enjoy, but I’m all in for your mom’s idea. What about you? During winter break, I wanted to take you out on a trip, but you were always reluctant. Why do you sound so eager today?” asked Xiao Tianlin.

“Li Zexuan’s photos were so appealing. We’re all bundled up here, while they’re wearing shorts and having fun. It’s boring to play games all day, and it’s too cold to go out. It’s better to find a warm place for the winter.”

“That’s true.”

Xia MO called Lin Wan.

Lin Wan, who was still taking photos, answered the call. “Boss, what’s up? “You sound so happy! I saw your photos. They’re really good.”

Lin Wan smiled. “Indeed. For those who can’t stand the cold, the temperature here is fantastic.”

“I wanted to ask if we can join your big team. Would that be okay?”

Lin Wan instantly got off the mat and walked to a quieter place. “Is this for real? Are you guys coming too? I was just talking about you with Mr. Li earlier. We rented a villa with five rooms. But the two aunties insisted on sharing one room, and the kids wanted to share another room. I told them that we already paid, so they can have separate rooms, but they refused. They said they wanted to be together. There are two empty rooms. It would be perfect if your family is here.”

“Hold on… Are you serious, or are you just joking? Some words can’t be taken back, you know…”

“Of course, I’m serious. It would be so much fun if both our families are together. We’ve got a place to stay. Check the flight tickets! It’s not time for the holidays yet, so there might be available tickets,” said Lin Wan. “Check them and let me know.”

“Alright, I’m checking them now.” Xia MO opened a travel booking website.

Luck was on her side. There were still tickets available for a 10 p.m. flight to Yan City. She entered her family’s information and made a reservation. She informed her shop manager about the holiday and then sent the details to Lin wan.

At the water amusement park, Lin Wan walked back to her mat after hanging up.

“What’s the matter? Why did you go aside to talk?” Li Yanchen thought that Xia

MO and Lin Wan might have been discussing something he wasn’t meant to

hear.

“Did you think we were discussing some secret? It was just too noisy here. By the way, Xia MO and her family are coming too. They asked if they could join, so I said okay.” “That’s great! There are still two rooms available, right?”

“You agree too?”

“Of course, I do. Did you book the flight tickets? When will they arrive? I can pick them up.”

“The flight is tonight. They might probably arrive early in the morning. They probably haven’t had time to rent a car.”

“That’s fine. With Xiao Tianlin coming, it’ll be livelier.” Li Yanchen was feeling a bit left out. The two old women were their own team, and the three kids always stuck around with Lin Wan. He could only have some company in the evening.

Lin Wan softly pinched her husband’s chin. “Do you have so much to say that you have to wait for Xiao Tianlin to come?”

“Are you honestly asking? If you hadn’t told the kids that you were in charge of taking pictures, would they have let you sit here with me?” “Mr. Li… so much jealousy! You’ll drive all others out of competition.” “Do you want me to shut your mouth?” he said playfully.

Lin Wan used her phone to cover her face. “You win! You win! I won’t say anything more. I’ll just take photos.”

After playing in the water park for two hours, everyone sat by the shore to rest.

Li Zexuan was wrapped in a floral towel. “Coming to the south for holidays feels quite nice.”

“Brother, I have a question for you. You wanting to get into the Imperial Academy… Is it because of someone? Just asking, because I understand. I worked so hard to get into the Dream Team.”

Li Zexuan was deep in thought. “No. The Imperial Academy is very well known for its film and directorial courses. I’m an actor. I want to improve myself.” “Do any girls in your class want to follow you because of your aspirations?”

“They probably don’t. Going to Imperial Academy won’t help them much,” said Li Zexuan. “But… There is one student. She is a top student in our grade. She’s aiming for Beijing University. It’s not too far from Imperial Academy, and I

think she can get in. I’m not so sure about myself, though. She’s my role model. Someone I look up to.”

Li Zexin grinned. He then wrapped an arm around his brother’s shoulder. “Why don’t you just say it’s because of Xie Wanyu?” “How did you know?”

“Everyone in the family knows. I get it… You like her.”

“It’s not like that. I simply admire her and respect her,” Li Zexuan said. “Look at your face! Brother, do all guys have a crush on girls?” “Not necessarily. Some people don’t have anyone they like.”

“Does that mean they eventually find someone they like?” Li Zexin asked.

“Probably. Why?”

“I’m already eighteen. How is it that I don ‘t have anyone I like? I feel like there’s no one in this world as good as Wind God. Wind God is my idol.”

“An idol is an idol… Just like how I’m an idol for many young boys. However, liking someone is different. It means you haven’t met that person yet. In the future, you’ll find a girl you like. You might even marry her and have babies with her…”

Li Zexin only listened to half of what he said.

He pouted. “I don’t want to get married. I want to play games with Wind God for the rest of my life. Also, with Preserved Egg and others. I feel comfortable around guys.”

“But when Xiao Yi gets married, he’ll have his own family. He won’t always have time to play games with you. You’ll get bored and lonely.”

“Getting married doesn’t stop you from playing games. Anyway, I don’t want to

get married. I don’t have a girl I like,” Li Zexin said..
