Throughout Chu Jiaojiao's childhood, she had never seen such a shy little girl before, and she immediately felt a sense of novelty and wanted to tease her.

"How do you want to thank me? How about having a drink with me?" Chu Jiaojiao teased the baby-faced girl.

The short-haired girl, Xu Ning, and the two boys didn't stop Chu Jiaojiao, because they could tell that Chu Jiaojiao was just flirting with Tian Tian. The girl who blushed easily was named Bai Tian Tian, ​​and the taller of the two boys was named Lu Yu, while the chubby one was named Gu Fei.

The little girl's hands trembled so much that she spilled her drink. She stammered, "I, I, can I thank you with this drink?" Even though her voice was shaking, the little girl still bravely spoke her mind.

"Okay," Chu Jiaojiao picked up her glass and drank it down heartily. Chu Xingyue gently touched Bai Tiantian's glass and also drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, Bai Tiantian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, she wasn't scared, she just got nervous talking to people she didn't know well. Sometimes she couldn't even finish a sentence. Her good friends would worry about her sometimes. Now that the college entrance exam was over, everyone would be going their separate ways. No matter how scared she was, she had to muster up her courage and step forward.

"Huh? I think you're about the same age as us, right? Did you just finish the college entrance exam too?" Xu Ning asked, sitting down as if they were old friends.

The other three people also pulled over the plastic stools next to them and sat down together.

"Yes, we are sisters. This is my older sister, Chu Xingyue, and I am her younger sister, Chu Jiaojiao," Chu Jiaojiao introduced. She was more patient with her peers, who were also students who had just finished the college entrance examination.

"Hello! My name is Xu Ning." "My name is Lu Yu." "My name is Gu Fei." "I, my name is Bai Tiantian." Everyone introduced themselves to each other.

"So your name is Tian Tian. You are just as sweet as your name," Chu Jiaojiao praised.

"Your name doesn't suit you at all, you're not delicate at all," Bai Tiantian muttered softly, her eyes lowered. Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, immediately heard her muttering and found it amusing. This girl was so timid, yet she dared to mutter about others in front of the person in question. They instantly found this girl extremely interesting.

The young people, filled with hope for the future, ate, drank, and chatted until Bai Tiantian quietly reminded them not to stay out too late, as their parents would worry. They then stopped talking and agreed to keep in touch often. Chu Xingyue was also very happy, as she hadn't expected these strangers to get along so well. She noted down all four of their contact information, and since they were going to Kyoto, they would contact them after they settled in.

When it was time to part, everyone was a little reluctant to say goodbye. Even Bai Tiantian kept grumbling that she wanted to contact her. She wanted to learn courage from Chu Jiaojiao, which made Chu Jiaojiao very fond of her. Chu Jiaojiao held back her index finger and thumb, which were placed next to her trouser seam, and managed to resist pinching Bai Tiantian's face.

The next day, Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao, unusually, skipped their morning exercise. They got up early and asked the receptionist for directions. The receptionist, seeing the two cheerful and polite young women, kindly told them where to find good breakfast. When they mentioned that they were traveling with elderly people, the receptionist recommended a delicious congee restaurant across the street from the hotel.

"Grandpa, Grandma, how did you sleep last night?" Chu Jiaojiao asked as she entered the room, seeing the two elderly people tidying up the mess they had made.

"You slept very well. Did you two girls have fun running out last night? Did you sneak any treats?" Su Jin teased Chu Jiaojiao with a smile. "Grandma, my dear grandma, you're like a mind reader to Jiaojiao. You can't hide anything from my beautiful grandma," Chu Jiaojiao said coquettishly, half-hugging Su Jin.

"Grandpa, once we've settled down in Kyoto, Jiaojiao and I will have a good drink with you," Chu Xingyue said gently, looking at Chu Qian, who was already fully dressed.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, the receptionist recommended a good congee place across the street. Let's have breakfast there."

It was a small shop, and perhaps because it wasn't peak season yet, there weren't many customers. Chu Jiaojiao led everyone to a seat by the window, while Chu Xingyue went to the counter to order.

Three steaming hot casserole dishes were brought to the table. The waiter turned around and brought five sets of bowls and spoons. One seafood casserole congee contained shrimp, abalone, clams, and pumpkin; another preserved egg and lean pork congee contained lean pork, preserved egg, and green vegetables; and the last one was mushroom and chicken congee. They ordered some side dishes to go with the congee. Chu Jiaojiao and Chu Xingyue ladled a bowl for each of their three elders and told them to be careful because it was hot. After the two of them finished ladling, everyone at the table carefully picked up their spoons and drank the delicious congee. In the town and the village, conditions were limited. Apart from Su Jin and Chu Qian, who often ate it when they were young, Liu Nuoling and Chu Jiaojiao had never eaten it before, while Chu Xingyue had eaten it in her previous life.
