"Old Mr. Anshi, so you're the one taking Xiaoyu and the others back?" The moment Ye Shuang saw Anshi Yilang, he seemed to understand something and greeted him with a smile.
"I have some business over there. This child, Xiaoyu, insisted on coming along, saying she couldn't rest easy letting an old man go abroad alone," Anshi Yilang said with a sigh of emotion. "The child has grown up and knows how to care for people."
An Shiyu, standing to the side, was expressionless and seemed a bit disdainful. "It was obviously you who insisted on tagging along."
Anshi Yilang just smiled kindly and continued speaking to Ye Shuang, "Look, my precious Xiaoyu never means what she says."
Ye Shuang: "..."
Then he looked at An Shiyaya beside him. Noticing Ye Shuang's gaze, An Shiyaya also greeted him, "Hullo."
"Is Yaya going back with you too?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Yes, I want to go home for a visit during the holidays," An Shiyaya smiled.
At this time, Anshi Yilang looked at Ye Shuang and the girls beside him, and couldn't help but say, "Kid, you're living quite the comfortable life."
"Hmm?"
"Hmph." Anshi Yilang suddenly snorted and turned to rest somewhere else, leaving Ye Shuang a bit confused about what the old man was thinking.
After finding a place to sit, Chen Qin came over carrying a plate with some bread on it, holding a carton of milk in her other hand.
"Ah Ye, let's have breakfast first," Chen Qin said with a smile.
"What about you?"
"I've already eaten," Chen Qin said.
Accompanied by Chen Qin, Ye Shuang slowly ate his bread while browsing the news on his phone. Soon, he realized he didn't know where Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke had gone.
"Where are they?"
"Getting breakfast," Chen Qin said.
As they spoke, Ye Shuang saw Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke returning. The food on the young girl's plate was piled up like a small mountain, causing many surrounding passengers to cast glances their way. After all, it was getting close to lunchtime, and most people only had a simple breakfast to tide them over.
Bai Yuyou's eyes seemed to be shining as she stared intently at the food on her plate.
"Brother, there's so much to eat over there, even steak!" Tang Keke said excitedly. "It's just like a restaurant."
"We're about to board, so whatever you want to eat, you'd better hurry," Ye Shuang smiled.
"Understood!"
An hour later, it was time to board. Although the distance was short, the flight would still take about five hours, so it would be nearly evening by the time they reached their destination.
The seats they chose in business class happened to be a four-person booth, somewhat like a restaurant seating area but much more spacious. Even with Ye Shuang's height of 1.8 meters, he didn't feel crowded when stretching his legs.
An Shiyu and the others were on the other side and didn't sit together with them.
Just as they sat down, Chen Qin took a blanket from the side compartment and draped it over her lower abdomen. She then took out a medicine bottle, swallowed a pill with a natural expression, and began preparing to apply a face mask.
"What medicine is that?" Ye Shuang picked up Chen Qin's bottle, finding it was a separate travel bottle, so he didn't know what was inside.
[Item: Medicine
Meds, meds, check it out]
"Just vitamins," Chen Qin said, taking the bottle back from Ye Shuang's hands.
"Are you deficient?" Ye Shuang couldn't help but ask.
Chen Qin just smiled, "Maybe I haven't been eating enough fruit."
"It's still better to pay attention to your diet."
"Mhm!"
At this time, a flight attendant came over with a menu, asking what everyone would like to have prepared for lunch.
"Let us see!" Tang Keke and Bai Yuyou immediately reached out.
"Didn't you just eat your fill?"
"Just looking."
The plane soon took off, and Ye Shuang's group finally embarked on their journey to Japan.
"The weather is really nice today," Tang Keke couldn't help but say as she looked at the scenery outside the window. "I feel like if I hadn't met Yuyou, I probably wouldn't have traveled abroad in my entire life."
"Domestic travel is nice too," Bai Yuyou said softly.
Then the young girl looked across from her. By now, Ye Shuang and Chen Qin had already reclined their seats flat, covered themselves with blankets, and were resting with their eyes closed.
Bai Yuyou watched silently. Actually, she wanted to sleep next to Ye Shuang for a while.
"Yuyou, Yuyou?"
"..." The young girl turned her head back.
"Should we binge-watch a show?" Tang Keke asked with a grin. "After all, it's still early."
"Okay, what should we watch?"
"Lemme see." Keke operated the screen in front of her; there were quite a few genres available.
"Let's go with this one!"
Bai Yuyou took a look—
"The Noble and Kind Murderer?"
"Yeah."
...
...
When Ye Shuang opened his eyes again, an orange hue was already seeping through the window. Sunlight scattered through the gaps in the clouds like shredded gold, casting a golden-orange glow over every winding corner.
His arms felt a bit cold, perhaps because the air conditioning was set a bit low. Ye Shuang adjusted the back of his seat, his brain still feeling a slight trace of fatigue.
"What are you guys watching?" At this moment, Ye Shuang noticed Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke intently watching a TV drama.
"Uh, a somewhat unhinged show?" Seeing Ye Shuang wake up, Tang Keke scratched her head.
"It's about a villainous murderer who gets forcibly whitewashed by the writers into a noble and kind protagonist."
Bai Yuyou, on the other hand, couldn't quite understand the plot and shook her head. "If someone does something wrong, can they really just change their identity and have it all go away?"
"That is pretty unhinged." Ye Shuang didn't pay it much mind, only telling Keke and Bai Yuyou to watch less of such weird dramas.
His gaze fell to his side. Chen Qin was still fast asleep, wearing an eye mask and remaining motionless, save for the towering slimes quivering slightly with her breathing.
"We're almost at our destination." Ye Shuang checked the time; they would arrive in about half an hour.
"Brother, have you been to Japan before?" Tang Keke asked curiously.
"Me?" Ye Shuang paused for a moment, then let out a chuckle. "Yeah, I've been... Back then, I went with my ex-girlfriend."
Although in his memory, he had gone with Chen Qin, the subtle sense of incongruity was finally resolved when he learned he had actually gone with Zhao Mengyao.
After all, the Chen Qin in his memory was never that unreasonable and overbearing.
"Oh." Hearing about Ye Shuang's ex-girlfriend, Tang Keke chose not to touch upon the sensitive topic, merely asking out of curiosity, "Is it fun over there?"
"Fun?" Ye Shuang thought for a moment. "It is fun... but that's all brought about by the novelty. When you go to a strange place, you always feel like it's better than your own city."
He smiled and continued, "Once the novelty wears off, home is ultimately the best."
