"Goodbye, instructor!"

"Goodbye, instructor."

"Okay, goodbye. Also, once you call me 'Instructor,' don't call me 'Sir' anymore."

"Oh, oh." Hera nodded blankly, then led Coco out of the training camp.

"Oh~ Isn't this Coco and Hera? Hello~"

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Ye Qing and his brother, who had also just walked a few steps out.

"Uh, hello everyone." Coco greeted them timidly, then immediately lowered her head.

Ye Yiqing smiled and stepped forward to greet Hera.

"Are you going home for the Chinese New Year? Or...?"

“They’re busy, they don’t have time,” Hera replied casually.

"Oh, I see. So, what about your hotel..."

"There's only one mother in the world who's good; a child without a mother is like a blade of grass."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yiqing's phone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Ye Yiqing apologized, then answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.

Ye Ciqing smiled and joined in.

"Honeys~ Have you all started your holiday yet?"

I've arrived in City A of Beijing. Where are you now?

Hearing the sweet female voice coming from the other end of the phone, Coco suddenly trembled.

He glanced first at Hera, who was still unresponsive, and then at Ye Yiqing.

Her eyes changed.

“We’re already on holiday and just came out. Mom, could you send me your location so my brother and I can come find you?”

Happy New Year, Mom!

Hearing Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing calling her "Mom," Coco breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, looking at the two of them with a hint of apology, he realized how filthy his thoughts had been.

Finally, she realized something was wrong.

Why do their mothers' voices sound so young?

I feel like he's only in his early thirties at most.

"Okay, my sons, come early, Mom will be waiting for you~"

Love you all, muah~

"I love you mom."

"Mommy, I love you~"

Not only Ye Yiqing, but even Ye Ciqing, who usually looks like a troublemaker, was like a well-behaved child at this moment.

"Sorry, my mom is urging us to hurry up, we have to go now, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, the two said goodbye to Hera and Coco and prepared to leave.

"Oh, by the way, here's our contact information. We can talk later if anything comes up." Ye Yiqing handed the note to the two of them, then dragged his luggage and disappeared into their world with Ye Ciqing.

He glanced at the people who had already walked away, then looked at the note in his hand.

Hera opened her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the note and phone to Coco.

"Please write this down for me."

"Okay." Coco took Hera's phone and wrote down the number on the note in her contacts.

It also notes the names of Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing.

"By the way, their mother seems so young, she doesn't even look forty."

Coco handed the phone back to Hera, mentioning it casually.

Hera: ?_??

Hera was completely bewildered.

Seeing Hera's reaction, Coco continued,

"I just felt that their mother's voice was too young, and she didn't look like her at all..."

Oh well, never mind, it's not polite to talk about someone's mother behind their back.

Coco shook her head and stopped talking about the topic, but she felt a little down.

"I'm a little envious of them both..."

Hera looked at Coco.

“I also had a very good mother, but she passed away when I was twelve years old.”

After that, my dad changed. He drank a lot of alcohol every day, beat me constantly, and sometimes burned me with cigarette butts.

Coco bit her lip, her eyes already starting to redden.

But soon, she shook her head in relief.

"Never mind, it's the New Year, being happy is the most important thing! Let's go to the hotel to drop off our luggage first, and then go buy groceries."

After saying that, he pulled Hera and headed towards City A.

Looking at the towering buildings and bustling facilities in City A.

It dazzled Coco.

Hera's gaze was constantly drawn to the massive crowd.

The two arrived at the hotel, put their luggage away, and then went into the supermarket to buy a lot of groceries.

When passing by some upscale storefronts, Coco always felt like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

She wished she could be teleported back to the hotel.

By the time everything was finished, it was already dark, because tomorrow was New Year's Eve.

So tonight you can go out and have fun to your heart's content and enjoy the bright lights and vibrant nightlife of the big city.

"Hey, Hera, can we go to a bar for a bit?"

Coco held Hera's hand, looking at the bar in front of her that she had wanted to go to countless times but could never go to. She swallowed hard and looked at Hera with almost pleading eyes.

Hera, with fried chicken in her mouth, looked at the bustling bar ahead and asked a question.

Is there any food inside?

"Food?" Coco thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly.

"I think...there probably is, since I've never been there, but they have alcohol inside, and probably some food too..."

“Let’s go then.” Hera nodded.

"Yay! Hera, you're the best!" Coco jumped for joy, then led Hera into the bar.

As soon as I arrived at the bar's front desk, I was greeted with a warm welcome from the receptionist.

"Hello, beautiful ladies, how can I help you?"

“Uh…” Coco stood there, feeling a little embarrassed.

Then he glanced at Hera, and seeing that she didn't react, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead.
