Time passed quickly; the flight of over three hours brought a group of people to their destination.
"Mmm~"
"The southernmost part of the motherland, the weather here is indeed different!"
"So warm~"
As soon as they disembarked, Zhao Huasheng took off his jacket, squinted, spread his arms, and bathed in the warm winter sun.
"The weather forecast was finally right this time, it didn't lie to me!"
Even though it was almost evening, the sunset was still warm.
Qiu Xi walked behind, feeling the gentle warmth, and felt that this trip was finally not a mistake.
But to enjoy the beauty of the setting sun, why fret about dusk approaching.
After resting for a while, Qiu Xi urged them to move on.
"Let's go, we'll head to our accommodation first, and we can chat more once we get there."
Although it was comfortable, the priority was to find a place to stay.
Shen Yan glanced at the time and agreed with Qiu Xi, "Xiao Xi is right, finding our accommodation is more important."
With that, the young people began to call for cars.
There were quite a few of them; three cars couldn't fit them all, so in the end, they had to call for an extra one.
The airport was still some distance from the hotel, and after about forty minutes, the group finally arrived at their destination.
"This is it!"
Carrying their luggage, they went inside, and checking in at the front desk also took a considerable amount of time.
By the time they finally returned to their hotel rooms, it was already dark.
Because they were all a bit tired, and there were elderly people present, the group decided to let the hotel handle their first meal.
They had a simple meal, and they would look for delicious food tomorrow.
......
In the evening, after dinner.
Qiu Xi was lying on the bed, looking at the plan for the next day, when she received a video call from her mother.
A single green circle appeared, and the window popped up.
"Mom, how did you..." have time to call?
Before Qiu Xi could finish her sentence, she was glared into silence by her own mother.
"Mom... how did you get here?"
Qiu Xi looked at the familiar living room on the other side and hesitated before finishing her question.
"How did I get here?"
"Why don't you explain yourself? Why did you leave?"
"And even if you left by yourself, but Grandfather and Grandmother are so old, you didn't even say goodbye and took them with you..."
Qiu Mama, through her own efforts, completely cut off Qiu Xi's intended continuation.
"Quickly! Tell me the truth, what were you up to!"
Seeing her mother finally stop her tirade, Qiu Xi stifled a laugh and appeased her, "Mom, please calm down first~"
"I was just too busy, so I forgot to tell you."
"I absolutely! Absolutely did not hide it on purpose!" As soon as she spoke, Qiu Xi donned her "bulletproof vest."
Then she continued, "My dorm mates and I came out to play together, and since the weather here was good, I brought Grandfather and Grandmother along."
"We are at Luori Island in Huanzhou. Traveling with us are Master Li Nainai, Ah Hua and Nan Yeye, and Xiao Gezi also came."
"Mom, you don't need to worry, we are all well-prepared..."
Seeing her mother's silence, Qiu Xi obediently recounted everything in detail.
Finally, she also promised her mother that they would pay close attention to safety.
"......"
After her daughter's string of explanations, Qiu Mama's worries were eased.
However, the fact that they didn't take her with them on the trip had not yet been resolved.
She had been thinking about her children from afar, only to have her child leave her and go on a trip alone...
"Everything was handled perfectly, it's just that you didn't think about your father and me..."
Qiu Xi held her forehead, feeling a bit overwhelmed. "Read books."
"Mom~"
"My plan this time was too rushed, I didn't think that far..."
When the plan was finalized, discussing it with Grandfather and Grandmother at home took only one evening, and she was busy at the time, so she really hadn't considered everything.
"Mom! How about this, I'll reimburse you and Dad, and you can go on a vacation yourselves."
The more Qiu Xi spoke, the more excited she became, "You two haven't had a 'couple's getaway' together in a long time, right? This time, go out and have all the fun you want, how about it?"
She thought this idea was excellent~
Looking at her now excited daughter, Qiu Mama, "..."
She felt a bit speechless, but she had to admit that the idea did seem to have some merit.
She had been with Old Qiu for so many years. When they were newly married, they worked. After the children grew up, they still worked. Now that they no longer had to watch over the children, how could they keep working all the time?
Thinking of it this way, Qiu Mama felt her daughter's idea was indeed very good.
"Alright, then your father and I won't take you two burdensome escorts."
"We'll be more comfortable ourselves~"
Qiu Xi smiled helplessly, "Mom, as long as you're happy~"
"By the way, where is Dad?"
After chatting for so long, she hadn't seen him.
"Oh~ Your dad is cooking."
"...Okay."
"Then you two discuss where you want to go. Since you have time now, play for a longer period, and then you can return to that side."
If her parents could play for ten days to half a month, by then their group would have already returned, and perhaps Grandfather and Grandmother could even make it to Jinhai City together.
"You think too far ahead." Kanshuwu.net
"Alright, since I know everything, I won't chat with you anymore."
"I still have to remind your grandparents about some things later..."
"Okay~ Then thank you, Mom, for your trouble~"
Seeing Qiu Mama already muttering to herself, Qiu Xi very appropriately said goodbye.
"Phew~"
As soon as the video call ended, Qiu Xi patted her chest and let out a big sigh of relief.
She should have asked Xiao Gezi to give them a heads-up earlier.
She didn't know what was going on with this kid, but he didn't mention anything when chatting with her parents.
This caused her to be lectured for a long time today.
"Xiao Xi, what are you doing?"
She had just seen you looking at your itinerary, why did you escape like you were fleeing for your life after a video call?
Qiu Xi, "..."
"I forgot to tell Mom and Dad about going out, and my mom came to settle the score with me..."
"Uh..."
That's indeed... a score to be settled...
"Let's not talk about this."
It's all in the past now, and playing tomorrow is more important.
"The cars we booked earlier, are they still available for tomorrow?"
For convenience, the group eventually found two cars.
Shen Yan shook her phone and replied, "Don't worry, I contacted them just now. Everything is fine, we can see them tomorrow morning."
"Good!"
"Then let's get some rest early and set off for Coconut Grove Beach tomorrow morning."
"Mm!"
