A week passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Bai Yuyou and the others to return home.
As December approached, although the temperature in Haizhu City was still relatively stable, there were rumors of a cold front moving south soon. So, it was necessary to prepare some winter clothes.
"After they arrive, I'll take Yuyou to buy clothes, then have a meal out... No, it might be better to cook at home tonight."
In the school infirmary, Ye Shuang twirled a pen with his fingers, speaking as if to himself.
"Oi, you said that exact thing ten minutes ago." An Shiyu, sitting nearby with her legs crossed playing a game, couldn't help but show disdain at Ye Shuang's recorder-like repetition.
"Why don't you just go wait at the airport?"
"The school arranged a unified shuttle bus," Ye Shuang replied.
Checking the time again, Ye Shuang also realized December was almost here.
"December is almost here in the blink of an eye. Time really does fly once you start working."
"Christmas is coming soon too," An Shiyu couldn't help but think.
"I guess girls really do prefer celebrating Christmas?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Well, maybe."
An Shiyu responded.
That day was just her birthday, after all.
Every year when it came around, she would always reflect on having survived another year, but it seemed she didn't have to worry so much about that anymore in the future.
Maybe she should celebrate?
"..." An Shiyu glanced sideways at Ye Shuang. After a few seconds of thought, she was about to invite him when she noticed him suddenly stand up. "Oh, it seems Yuyou and the others have arrived."
With that, Ye Shuang took his phone and walked straight out of the infirmary.
An Shiyu watched his retreating back, then withdrew her gaze and smiled faintly. "Well."
Never mind.
Spending it like usual seemed fine too.
Ye Shuang quickly walked to the sports field, which was already filled with parked buses. These buses were shuttling students back to Yinshan Academy from the airport—the bus carrying Yuyou and the others had just entered the academy grounds and would need a bit more time to drive over.
Compared to Ye Shuang, who was looking around everywhere, Bai Yuyou, sitting on the bus, was also leaning against the window, gazing outside.
"Yuyou is really impatient, but Brother should be waiting over at the sports field," Tang Keke, sitting next to Bai Yuyou, said with a giggle, unable to hold back.
She could feel Bai Yuyou's excitement and eagerness even before they boarded the plane.
"Beep beep." Her phone vibrated. Bai Yuyou fumbled in her pocket and pulled out her phone from her jacket.
Ye Shuang...
No.
Bai Yuyou initially thought it was a message from Ye Shuang, but it turned out to be from Aunt Xian.
Mother: Have you arrived, Rou Nü? Are you at the academy now?
Bai Yuyou: Arrived.
Bai Yuyou: photo.jpg
Mother: That's good... Actually, today, I wanted to take you to change your name back.
Mother: Zhou Yurou.
Hearing this, Bai Yuyou fell quiet for a moment, though she knew this day would come—just as Ye Shuang had said, there was no way she could keep the surname of the human trafficker.
But...
Bai Yuyou really liked it when Ye Shuang called her name gently.
Her thoughts returned to the present. Bai Yuyou also replied: Understood.
As the girl put down her phone, the swaying vehicle came to a stop. Bai Yuyou instinctively looked out the window and, among the crowd of hundreds outside, instantly locked onto that figure in white clothes—Ye Shuang.
"It's Ye Shuang..."
Tap tap tap, footsteps sounded.
"Students..." The counselor hadn't even finished speaking when a breeze carrying a faint floral scent blew past him.
The counselor was stunned for a second, then saw the long-haired girl had already run off the bus and thrown herself towards a figure.
"Ye Shuang!"
Ye Shuang instinctively reached out, and Bai Yuyou crashed directly into his arms.
"Oof." It felt like a heavy blow to his chest. Ye Shuang steadied himself, wiping non-existent blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "That's some heavy love."
Bai Yuyou hugged Ye Shuang tightly, as if inhaling his scent. "Ye Shuang, I missed you."
"Me too."
Ye Shuang rubbed the back of Bai Yuyou's head, then noticed the many people looking their way. He couldn't help but cough lightly. "Alright, let go for now."
"Oh."
But Bai Yuyou still clung tightly to one of Ye Shuang's arms, not letting go, her arm snugly sandwiched between two Slimes.
At this moment, Tang Keke and the others also got off, carrying various odds and ends. "Brother, long time no see."
"Long time no see."
"Yuyou, you're really something, so impatient... you didn't even take your luggage," Tang Keke said, holding two suitcases.
Luckily, Taozi helped carry some, otherwise it really would have been too much.
"That one, not mine." Bai Yuyou pointed at the suitcase Tang Keke was holding. Although the color was similar, Bai Yuyou recognized at a glance that it wasn't her luggage.
"Huh? Not yours?" Tang Keke looked at the suitcase in confusion. She looked left and right, finally noticing a cartoon fish tag on the suitcase.
"Oh, mine." An Shiyu, standing to the side with her hands in her pockets, said. Clearly, she was the only one present not carrying any luggage.
Tang Keke stared blankly for a few seconds before exclaiming, "Then why didn't you say anything?!"
"Well..." An Shiyu averted her gaze and shrugged.
"Who could refuse free labor?"
Tang Keke: "I'm going to hang you from a streetlamp!"
Watching Tang Keke and An Shiyu start bickering again, with Taozi trying to mediate, Ye Shuang then took Bai Yuyou to get her luggage.
Perhaps because of Bai Yuyou's earlier actions, some students still on the bus packing their things cast glances over, which naturally included Sunshine Bro.
He seemed unable to comprehend why Ye Shuang was so popular.
Clearly, he should be more handsome.
"Is this it? Anything else?" Ye Shuang asked.
"There's this too." Bai Yuyou was also carrying a box as she got off.
Seeing the extra suitcase, Ye Shuang couldn't help but be curious. "Did you buy another suitcase while abroad? What's inside?"
Bai Yuyou said, "Food."
"I can't believe you bought snacks back from overseas. I hope you declared everything properly." Ye Shuang couldn't help but be both amused and exasperated by this girl's foodie nature.
After getting off, Ye Shuang brought Bai Yuyou back to the group of girls. Since today was the day of returning from the study trip, there were naturally no classes for the rest of the afternoon.
"The weather is about to get cold. I'll take you to buy some warm clothes," Ye Shuang said, but noticed Bai Yuyou shaking her head.
"Busy today."
"Hmm?" Ye Shuang was a bit surprised. "Do you need to write a report about the trip?"
"Need to change name." Bai Yuyou said.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
