“Then I’ll take a few days off. I haven’t had any classes lately anyway,” Cui Xue said matter-of-factly.

They are about to take the entrance exam for junior high school, and in the second half of the year, she will be a junior high school student.

Cui Xue kept clamoring to go on a trip, which gave Cui Qiuzhen a headache.

"Okay, okay." Cui Qiuzhen nodded. "Then let's go have fun for a few days, and then come back to take the exam, okay?"

"Okay!" Cui Xue grinned.

Cui Qiuzhen smiled at Ling Ziqian and the other two, "We'll just take a quick look around and come right back. After that, you three can go somewhere else to have fun."

Ling Ziqian and the other two had no objection to this plan.

Thinking about going on a trip, Cui Xue perked up and lost her sleepiness, discussing with Dou Xiaorong and the others where to go.

Xue Lan picked up the teapot to fill it with water. When she reached the kitchen door, she beckoned to Ling Ziqian with her finger, as if she wanted to say something.

The four girls were making a ruckus when Ling Ziqian got up and went over.

Entering the kitchen, Xue Lan smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

She asked softly, "If you're traveling, are you going to the beach?"

Ling Ziqian nodded. He had said before that traveling meant going to climb mountains and see the sea.

Xue Lan's smile widened, and she said, "If you're going to the beach, I have a place I'd like to recommend!"

She mentioned a place name, and Ling Ziqian scratched his head. It was a place by the sea, but it wasn't well-known.

Xuelan smiled and added, "My cousin's house is right there!"

Chapter 347 There will be a next time, I'll beat you to death!

Xue Lan winked at Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian suddenly realized that this guy wanted him to do something!

Ling Ziqian quickly asked, "Has Sister Qiuzhen severed ties with her family?"

Xue Lan glanced outside; Cui Qiuzhen and the others were chatting and laughing, paying no attention to what was happening here.

She smiled at Ling Ziqian, "The situation is actually not complicated, it's just that a conflict arose and strained the relationship."

"Is it because of Xiaoxue?" Ling Ziqian was very concerned.

"Mm." Xue Lan nodded and briefly told Ling Ziqian about Cui Qiuzhen's past.

When Cui Qiuzhen was in college, she found Cui Xue on campus.

For various reasons, she did not send Cui Xue to an orphanage.

To everyone else, Cui Xue was Cui Qiuzhen's daughter.

Cui Qiuzhen's parents also thought so.

When school was out for break, Cui Qiuzhen took Cui Xue home.

Cui Qiuzhen wanted to adopt Cui Xue, but her parents disagreed, and the two sides had a big argument.

The most egregious act was that the parents sent Cui Xue, who was still an infant, to an orphanage, hoping that the orphanage would adopt her.

After discovering this, Cui Qiuzhen ran to snatch Cui Xue back and then left home.

Since then, Cui Qiuzhen's parents have never given her a penny for tuition or living expenses.

Every time Cui Qiuzhen brought Cui Xue home, she was turned away at the door.

In the blink of an eye, Cui Xue is now twelve years old.

Cui Qiuzhen would bring Cui Xue home once a year, but they could never get into the house.

Ultimately, it's her parents who can't let go of this.

"And then?" Ling Ziqian smiled at Xue Lan. "Do you want me to help mediate the conflict between them?"

"Mmm!" Xue Lan smiled sweetly. "Anyway, now there's an opportunity. Let's give it a try!"

Ling Ziqian smiled and nodded. This was too simple. He could just use the "ambiguity value" to change Cui Qiuzhen's parents' memories and make them change their minds.

"Ziqian, I'm begging you!" Xuelan grasped Ling Ziqian's hand, her expression sorrowful. "My parents are gone, while my cousin has parents, but their relationship is like this. I'm truly heartbroken for her!"

"I'll definitely handle this, don't worry!" Ling Ziqian patted Xue Lan's head like he would a child. "Don't be sad. Although you don't have parents, you have us!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Lan was overjoyed. "Zi Qian, do you consider me family?"

Ling Ziqian nodded, "You're my sister, so naturally you're family!"

Xue Lan was immediately annoyed, "I don't want to be your sister, I want to be your wife!"

"Silly girl!" Ling Ziqian chuckled and tapped her head.

"I'm such a fool, so you can't just leave me alone, or I'll be in big trouble," Xue Lan muttered, feeling wronged.

Ling Ziqian was both amused and exasperated, and could only gently stroke her head.

Xue Lan tiptoed and launched a sneak attack on Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian couldn't remember how many times she had stolen kisses from him; he was already used to it.

"Hurry up and fill up the water, there's no tea left to drink outside."

"Ah."

After patting the guy's head, Ling Ziqian left the kitchen.

In the living room, Cui Qiuzhen and Dou Xiaorong chatted happily.

Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi both had Cui Qiuzhen as their homeroom teacher for all three years of high school, and they shared many memories.

At this moment, they have so much to say.

Ling Ziqian sat to the side, listening quietly to their conversation.

They chatted until 2 a.m.

Xuelan has classes tomorrow, so she has already gone back to her room to sleep.

Cui Xue didn't want to go back to her room, and in the end, she snuggled up in Ling Ziqian's arms and fell asleep.

Realizing how late it was, the three of them snapped out of their daze and ended their chat.

Cui Qiuzhen gently took the sleeping Cui Xue from her arms.

Ling Ziqian and the other two stood up, intending to leave.

Knowing they wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, Cui Qiuzhen didn't try to stop them, but simply told them to be careful.

They waved goodbye, walked downstairs, and the three of them pushed their bicycles and left the residential area.

The temperature was a bit low in the early morning, and Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi felt a little cold as they huddled together.

"Where to now?" Ling Ziqian asked the two girls. "Home?"

"Okay." Dou Xiaorong nodded. "Let's go back to my place. My bed is the biggest; it can sleep three people!"

Ling Ziqian immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He was about to reprimand Dou Xiaorong when, to his surprise, Su Mingxi also agreed.

"I want to keep chatting! I feel like we haven't said enough. I'm so excited, I can't sleep even when I get home." Su Mingxi smiled at Ling Ziqian. "Brother, won't you join us and keep chatting?"

Ling Ziqian scratched his head; he couldn't refuse Su Mingxi's request.

They quickly returned to Dou Xiaorong's house, and the three of them tiptoed upstairs.

"You two take a shower first, I'll go get some food!" Dou Xiaorong gestured for Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi to enter the room, then quickly left.

Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi stood in the room, looking at each other somewhat bewildered.

"Why don't you take a shower first?" Ling Ziqian scratched his head and smiled at Su Mingxi.

“…Okay.” Su Mingxi blushed and went to open Dou Xiaorong’s wardrobe.

She hadn't brought any clothes, so she had to wear Dou Xiaorong's clothes.

She rummaged through the clothes and found a set of men's clothing. If it wasn't Ling Ziqian's clothes, whose clothes could it be?

"Brother, you were prepared all along!" Su Mingxi teased Ling Ziqian, her face flushed.

"Uh, that's..." Upon seeing his clothes, Ling Ziqian broke out in a cold sweat.

He stayed here for one night, and Dou Xiaorong bought him a new set of clothes. He put on the new clothes and changed out of his old ones.

Dou Xiaorong washed the clothes and put them in the closet, without returning them to Ling Ziqian.

Seeing Ling Ziqian blush and look embarrassed, Su Mingxi felt a little sour.

But she didn't show it, even though she knew they were very close.

With a slight smile, Su Mingxi took her pajamas and went into the small bathroom in the room.

Ling Ziqian scratched his head, feeling extremely embarrassed.

A moment later, Dou Xiaorong, carrying a bag of snacks, tiptoed into the room.

Upon seeing Su Mingxi enter the bathroom, she gently put down the snacks and hugged Ling Ziqian tightly.

Ling Ziqian was about to speak when Dou Xiaorong kissed him on the lips.

"Don't speak, don't let Mingxi know..." Dou Xiaorong whispered, hugging Ling Ziqian's neck and pushing him down onto the bed.

"You little bean paste bun..." Ling Ziqian muttered under his breath.

"whee……"

Ling Ziqian sat up, hugged Dou Xiaorong tightly, and kissed her passionately.

The two were deeply moved. Ling Ziqian's wicked hand slipped inside Dou Xiaorong's clothes, gently caressing her delicate body. (The last sentence appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

Dou Xiaorong's breathing became rapid, and she swayed her waist passionately, wishing that something could happen between her and Ling Ziqian at this moment.

Ling Ziqian felt a surge of impulse and wanted to take off Dou Xiaorong's clothes.

Dou Xiaorong hurriedly stopped him, "What am I supposed to do after Mingxi comes out, you bad guy!"

"I don't care!" Ling Ziqian said defiantly, kissing Dou Xiaorong's snow-white neck.
