After dinner in the evening, Yu Zhi went to Wen Yiying's yard first. Now he didn't have to teach Suo Suo to paint every week. He could just help him revise his paintings and explain them occasionally.

"Little aunt." Suosuo was still very enthusiastic when she saw Yu Zhi, and rushed out of the yard in a hurry.

Yu Zhi took Suosuo's hand and asked, "What has Suosuo been busy with lately?"

Suosuo is lively and active, and Wen Yiying can't let him just draw quietly, so she enrolled him in a dance class.

Suosuo replied obediently: "Suosuo is learning to dance with the teacher."

Yu Zhi: "Soso is so amazing."

Soso's persistence in learning painting through meditation for a year has paid off. At least now he can concentrate on the class.

Every time Yu Zhi came over, Wen Yiying would prepare some food and drinks, most of which were homemade, and there would be new things from time to time.

"Xiaozhi, take some back." Wen Yiying handed Yu Zhi a box containing the polka dot cookies she made today.

The item was handed to Yu Zhi, who took it and said, "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

Wen Yiying said softly, "Come over and play when you have time."

Suosuo followed suit: "Aunt, come over and play when you have time."

"Okay." Yu Zhi said with a smile because of Suo Suo's teasing.

Yu Zhi returned to the room and was alone. It was a bit early to go to bed, but Yu Zhi had nothing to do for the time being.

After cleaning up and lying on the bed, Yu Zhi opened the chat box of Meng Yingnian on his phone. The last message was during dinner.

Yu Zhi sent a message to Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi: [Are you still busy?]

I didn't get a reply for a long time, and then I fell asleep with my phone in my arms.

Meng Yingnian was on a business trip to Gangcheng this time. He was finishing up his work in the evening and was busy until after nine o'clock.

I only found time to check my phone on the way to the airport.

There are a lot of messages, but Yu Zhi’s is on the top.

It was already an hour ago.

Meng Yingnian: [Just finished work, Zhizhi, what did you do today?]

Meng Yingnian didn't receive a reply from Yu Zhi until just before boarding the plane. He guessed that he had already fallen asleep.

I went to bed quite early today, and I don’t know if I will wake him up if I go back, Meng Yingnian thought.

Unless necessary, Meng Yingnian rarely travels by private jet. The application and approval period for the route is long and there are many restrictions. It is not as convenient for Meng Yingnian to make a temporary trip as to book a flight.

Unless you are flying long-distance internationally or attending an important meeting where the itinerary is kept confidential.

Meng Yingnian boarded the plane almost at the deadline. As a platinum member of the airline, he was able to use a special channel, so he didn't delay everyone for too long.

Originally, this schedule could be completed before Friday, but Yu Zhi fell ill and went to the hospital on Monday, and Meng Yingnian rushed over, causing the project progress to be delayed by one day.

This project is a major project between the two places, and Meng Yingnian needs to show up. The group's vice president rushed there first, and Meng Yingnian flew directly to Hong Kong City the next day.

The vice president followed up on the follow-up work. Meng Yingnian didn't even take a break after finishing his work. He directly asked Chen Xun to book a plane ticket back to Beijing North.

It takes about four hours to fly from Gangcheng to Beijing North. Meng Yingnian took a nap on the plane and it was already early morning when he got off the plane.

Taking a night flight always gives people a feeling of being on the go. Meng Yingnian had been working non-stop for several days and felt physically and mentally exhausted.

From late night to early morning, northern Beijing is not completely quiet. The neon lights on the roadside shine through the car window onto Meng Yingnian's face, adding a touch of mystery to this handsome man.

Yu Zhi didn't turn off the lights before going to bed. Deng Yang noticed it later and walked into the room to turn it off. The phone in his hand had turned off because it had not responded for a long time.

Meng Yingnian took a quick shower in the west wing and lay down on the bed in the master bedroom. Using the faint light of his phone, he took Yu Zhi's phone from his palm.

Yu Zhi smelled a familiar scent of soap in his sleep and slowly opened his eyes.

When he saw Meng Yingnian beside him, he couldn't tell for a moment whether he was awake or dreaming. It was not until the next morning.

"What time is it?" Yu Zhi asked vaguely.

Meng Yingnian didn't expect that such a gentle movement would still wake Yu Zhi up. He pulled her into his arms, stroking her back gently, and said, "Three o'clock, go back to sleep."

Yu Zhi didn't know what he said, nor did he hear clearly what Meng Yingnian said. He fell asleep again in a daze.

Meng Yingnian felt Yu Zhi's breathing gradually become heavier, and his body and mind, which had been running around all night, finally relaxed.

Yu Zhi woke up early and felt resistance just as he was about to struggle. He turned around and saw Meng Yingnian's face still sleeping.

I completely forgot what happened in the early morning and don’t know when Meng Yingnian came back.

Yu Zhi was not sleepy at all, but he didn't want to get up either, so he lay quietly in bed.

It was unknown how long it took before Yu Zhi slowly withdrew from Meng Yingnian's arms. Meng Yingnian had just fallen asleep for a few hours and was sleeping soundly, so he didn't notice.

Yu Zhi took the phone from the bedside. It was a little after eight in the morning, and there was a message from Meng Yingnian last night.

He knew that Meng Yingnian was on a business trip to Hong Kong City and didn't finish his work until ten o'clock. He took an early morning flight. Why was he in such a hurry to come back?

Yu Zhi felt both sweet and distressed. How could he deserve such favor from Meng Yingnian?

Meng Yingnian originally planned to return to Beijing North today, so he had no other work arrangements today. When he woke up, Yu Zhi was no longer by his side.

Deng Yang and the others had already noticed that Meng Yingnian had returned. Yu Zhi had eaten breakfast first and asked people not to disturb Meng Yingnian's rest.

The porridge was warmed up in the kitchen, and when Meng Yingnian came out of the room, Deng Yang called him over to eat first. After asking, he found out that Yu Zhi was in the study.

Meng Yingnian made a cup of coffee and knocked on the study door before going in. Yu Zhi thought it was Deng Yang or another servant, but unexpectedly it was Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi said, "I'm awake. What time did you come back yesterday?"

Meng Yingnian walked over and placed the coffee cup on Yu Zhi's desk. "My flight is at ten o'clock, and I'll be home a little after two."

"Do not you remember?"

Yu Zhi was puzzled: "Remember what?"

Meng Yingnian: "When I went to bed, Zhizhi asked me what time it was."

Yu Zhi had no impression of this and shook his head.

"You were still holding your cell phone when I came back," Meng Yingnian continued.

Yu Zhi only remembered sending a message to Meng Yingnian yesterday, and he didn't remember when he fell asleep afterwards.

Yu Zhi: "It's so late, why don't you stay one more night before coming back?"

Meng Yingnian: "Thinking about Zhizhi going home yesterday, I wanted to come back early. I can't wait to go home."

"..."

Yu Zhi knew that what Meng Yingnian said was true, but he had no idea how to respond.

Perhaps he will never be able to speak as freely as Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi changed the subject: "Have you eaten?"

Meng Yingnian's stomach cannot be hungry one moment and full the next, and staying up late is also bad for his stomach, but he always fails to pay attention to this.

"I've eaten." Meng Yingnian heard that Yu Zhi had specially instructed the kitchen to cook and warm the porridge, so he ate a whole bowl.

Yu Zhi was drawing in the study, and Meng Yingnian also sat at the desk to deal with work emails.

Meng Yingnian ate little for lunch, and Yu Zhi didn't force him. After all, he had eaten breakfast late, and if he ate more, he would feel nauseous.

No one planned to take a nap in the afternoon. Yu Zhi went to bed too early last night, and Meng Yingnian got up late in the morning.

Meng Yingnian took time out from his busy work to spend a day with Yu Zhi, and went to work as usual the next day. Employees had a holiday, but Meng Yingnian worked almost all year round. If he wanted to make time, he could only try to compress his working hours.

On the way back to school, Yu Zhi said to Meng Yingnian, "I won't be going home next weekend. I have classes on Saturday and I have to prepare for the school sports meet on Sunday."

Meng Yingnian understood: "Okay, what projects did Zhizhi participate in?"

Yu Zhi is not good at running or high jumping, and he is not proficient in basketball, football, etc. On the one hand, he is not interested in sports games, and on the other hand, his own conditions are not enough. If he goes, he will only give points to other majors.

"Attend the opening ceremony." Yu Zhi found it funny even when he said it.

Meng Yingnian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The important thing is to participate."

"Is it time to have a holiday after the sports meet?" May Day is coming soon, and we should have a few days of vacation.

Yu Zhi nodded.

Meng Yingnian suggested, "How about we go camping? Zhizhi can also invite her friends to join us and ask her sister-in-law and Suosuo if they want to go."

Yu Zhi had never gone camping with friends before. He had only gone on the spring outing organized by the school, the kind where they went and came back on the same day.

"Okay, where to go?"

Huachuang owns a resort in the northern suburbs of Beijing. It is located near a natural scenic area in a valley with beautiful scenery. It takes more than an hour to drive there without having to climb a mountain.

The main advantage is that the facilities are complete, so you don’t have to worry about losing your things when you travel, as the resort provides a full set of camping facilities.

However, for Yu Zhi's travel experience, Meng Yingnian decided to buy a comfortable tent again.

If Meng Yingnian didn't bring it up, Yu Zhi would probably stay at home for the entire holiday and wouldn't say where he wanted to go even if he wanted to.

Meng Yingnian hopes that Yu Zhi can enjoy life more like other people and give himself some time to relax from studying and part-time job.

Yu Zhiting thought Meng Yingnian's description was good, so he could ask Lin Yunsong and Zhou Yang for their opinions.

Yu Zhi still has to go to school, so the subsequent preparations are left to Meng Yingnian.

When Lin Yunsong and Zhou Yang heard Yu Zhi's proposal, they responded and even began to imagine their holiday life.

Yu Zhi: [Xiao Song, no problem. Yangyang, have you asked Teacher Zhao?]

Zhao Yanche may not have time during the holidays, because the senior high school students will also be on vacation, and the painting studio will probably still have classes.

Zhou Yang was so happy that he forgot to think about it, then he remembered: [I will ask now.]

Lin Yunsong: [Hahahahahahahaha.]

Lin Yunsong sat next to Yu Zhi and mocked Zhou Yang mercilessly.

Negotiations are probably still ongoing over there, and Zhou Yang hasn't responded yet.

Lin Yunsong: "Xiaozhi, is there anyone else besides your husband?"

Before Yu Zhi had the chance to ask Wen Yiying, Meng Yingnian should have told her.

He said uncertainly, "Maybe there are also Meng Yingnian's sister-in-law and nephew."

Lin Yunsong bowed to Yu Zhi beside him and said, "Aren't his sister-in-law and nephew also yours? Why do you have to separate the family members so clearly?"

Yu Zhi: “…”

"Yes."

Lin Yunsong laughed out loud when he saw Yu Zhi being humiliated.

Zhou Yang sent a message in the group: [What date are we going?]

[My brother has classes on the morning of the 1st, so he's free the rest of the time.]

The specific date had not yet been decided, so Yu Zhixian went to Meng Yingnian to talk about this matter.

Since Zhao Yanche didn't have time on the morning of the 1st, Meng Yingnian said they could set off in the afternoon and set up camp at night.

Yu Zhi: [Then we’ll set off on the afternoon of the 1st.]

Zhou Yang: [Great.]

[Do we need to bring anything?]

Yu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Bring two changes of clothes. Other resorts provide them."

Lin Yunsong: [I'm going to bring my camera to see the results of my six months of study.]

Lin Yunsong joined a photography club last semester and bought a lot of equipment. He was very excited and full of interest a few days ago, but now his camera is probably gathering dust.

Yu Zhi asked Huo Yao and Lin An again. Huo Yao did have time, but Lin An had to work overtime. He just said that they would get together again next time if there was a chance.

Meng Yingnian also said that his sister-in-law wanted to take Suosuo out to play, so he would not go with them.

So in the end it was just the five of them.

The May Day travel activity was successfully agreed upon.

But there is still more than a week before that time, so they still have to go to school and work.

Yu Zhi and Lin Yunsong attended classes for six consecutive days and also had to find time to rehearse and train.

There is no time to rest on Sunday as I have to attend the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the sports meeting.

The uniform attire for the opening ceremony of the Academy of Fine Arts is in ink-and-wash style, exuding an ancient charm.

Yu Zhi had his hair loose and was wearing black and white ink-style clothes. His face had both the three-dimensionality of Europe and the classical beauty of his homeland. His eyes were sky-blue, narrow, and slightly upturned at the end. Not only did he not look weird in this outfit, but it also added an indescribable charm to him.
