Shen Yan was surprised that Chen Yu would refuse. In the past, Chen Yu would have gladly dumped all the work on Shen Yan, even the housework that was paid for, she would have let Shen Yan do it all by himself.

Chen Yu finished washing in no time.

Her skillful manner aroused Shen Yan's suspicion. In his memory, Chen Yu had never done housework before, so how could she be so skilled at washing dishes and even know to pour out the water from the bowls and put them on the shelf?

He stared blankly at Chen Yu's busy figure.

She has changed so much.

After the teacher finished explaining the last point of knowledge, Lao Wang walked in from outside.

"Students, the holiday is almost here. I hope you have a good time. Next semester will be a time for focused study, and there won't be any more holidays. This holiday, however, is free of homework, which you earned yourselves. Okay, that's all for now. School's out."

Old Wang's last sentence was the key point. The students cheered and jumped up, tidied up their desks, and went home.

Wang Yue and Jiang Yang stood next to Chen Yu.

We will miss you, my king!

Wang Yue leaned on Chen Yu's shoulder, feeling wronged. Two or three days would have been fine, but this trip lasted a whole week.

"I know, children. Stay home and behave yourselves."

Chen Yu reached out a hand, trying to put her arm around Jiang Yang, but she missed. Jiang Yang ran to Chen Yan's side.

Shen Yan is now at least 182 cm tall, while Jiang Yang is only 180 cm. She leans against Shen Yan's chest like a woman.

Anyone who sees this scene would want to laugh.

Just as Chen Yu and Shen Yan returned home, Chen Kang and Li Ziyun were already downstairs.

"Is there such a rush!?"

Chen Yu was a little unhappy. She and Shen Yan were immediately pushed into the car without even having time to change their clothes or their schoolbags.

"Yes, your Uncle Li has arrived and is waiting for us on the side."

Before Chen Kang could finish speaking, he stepped on the gas and drove off. Chen Yu lost her balance and crashed straight into Shen Yan.

Are you alright?

Shen Yan helped Chen Yu up. Chen Kang looked at the two children behind him with embarrassment. They had started too fast. Li Ziyun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Watch out, don't hurt the two children."

"Okay, okay, hehe, it was just an accident."

Chen Kang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly; he had indeed been too hasty.

Chen Yu sat back down in her seat, took off her backpack, and fiddled with her phone for a bit.

During this time, Chen Kang received several phone calls, all asking if they had arrived yet.

Chen Kang's speed, which had already slowed down, increased again.

We arrived at the port in half an hour.

Shen Yan got out of the car to help Chen Kang with his luggage, but Chen Kang only let him take his own, telling Chen Yu to take his own, saying that everyone was there and he didn't want others to see Chen Yu being so lazy.

As soon as Chen Kang got out of the car, his colleagues and friends rushed forward, and the adults began exchanging pleasantries, one after another.

Chen Yu had heard it so many times that her ears were practically calloused, and she finally managed to board the cruise ship.

Just say you're going to eat.

This meal would take at least two hours to finish. Chen Yu was already tired after class, and she still had to keep up a smile for Chen Kang.

Li Ziyun saw through Chen Yu's thoughts, pulled her aside, and told her to go out for a stroll after she finished eating with Shen Yan, instead of staying here chatting.

Chen Yu leaned against Li Ziyun; it was her mother who truly understood her.

Chen Yu enjoyed the meal quite a bit; the cuisine was very abundant, including dishes like lobster and abalone.

After eating, Chen Yu left with Shen Yan.

Chen Kang's colleague's child didn't say anything, just sat in the chair playing on his phone. Chen Yu was too embarrassed to call out to him, so she simply went out with Shen Yan.

The two walked to the edge of the pool party.

Seeing many beautiful girls in bikinis, Chen Yu immediately tried to cover Shen Yan's eyes, but her height was a major obstacle. Chen Yu ended up covering Shen Yan's mouth instead, muttering, "Not suitable for children."

"Let's go, let's go."

Shen Yan removed Chen Yu's hand from her mouth and pulled her away from the pool.

Chen Yu's face was almost completely red the whole way, following behind Chen Yan to the other side.

There were a few people scattered on the deck; looking around, there were quite a lot of people.

Chen Yu leaned against the railing and looked down.

The sea wasn't very clear at night, but you could still feel the waves swaying.

"Chen Yan, have you decided which school to apply to?"

This question stumped Shen Yan. He had indeed thought about this issue. He turned to look at Chen Yu with a complicated expression. Originally, he wanted to go as far away as possible, but now, his thoughts had changed.

"Still thinking about it, what about you?"

"I'll go wherever you go."

Chen Yu was stunned after she finished speaking. How could she say such a thing? Would Shen Yan misunderstand something?

After a long silence of ten minutes, Shen Yan finally responded with an "okay," which Chen Yu hadn't expected. She had wanted to pretend nothing had happened and let it pass.

Chen Yu's phone rang. It was Li Ziyun calling, asking the two of them to go to the karaoke room now.

"Chen Yan, are you going?"

"Go ahead, it would be disrespectful not to go."

Chen Yu nodded and followed the waiter to the door of the karaoke room. She knew without even going inside that Chen Kang was singing.

He sang loudly but also off-key, yet singing was Chen Kang's hobby.

Shen Yan pushed open the door and let Chen Yu go in first.

Li Ziyun pulled the two of them to the sofa.

They gave each person a bottle of Coke and said, "You can just sit here for a while and go back when your dad is done singing."

Chen Yu nodded obediently and sat on the sofa drinking her cola.

Chen Kang suddenly walked over and pulled Shen Yan up. It was obvious that he had drunk too much. He held Shen Yan's hand and cried and laughed at the same time.

He also said some things that no one could understand.

Chen Yu thought that this was probably because she missed Shen Yan's parents. Among those who came with her this time were Shen Yan's parents' colleagues, who were all on the same team.

Shen Yan comforted Chen Kang from the side. He was actually very grateful to Chen Kang. If it weren't for him, he probably would have had to go to his aunt, whom he had hated since childhood. It was because Shen Yan was outstanding that his aunt disliked him so much.

I always felt that Shen Yan stole the spotlight from her child.

When Shen Yan's parents died, they came to visit him briefly, but they didn't care about Shen Yan's life afterward.

A boy suddenly sat down next to Chen Yu.

"Hello, are you Uncle Chen Kang's daughter? You're so beautiful."

"Um, who are you?"

"Oh, I'm the son of your father's colleague. My name is Li Mo."

Chen Yu chuckled awkwardly. This Li Mo was Uncle Li's son. He hadn't expected him to suddenly become so popular.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yu realized that she had known Li Mo since childhood, but he had changed so much that she didn't recognize him.

Shen Yan glanced back and saw Chen Yu chatting animatedly with a boy of similar age. He frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

He was stunned for a moment, wondering why he felt uncomfortable seeing Chen Yu chatting so happily with other boys when he clearly disliked him. He should be happy, right?
