A passing traveler through the heavens

With the passing of New Year's Eve, Ji Lin and his classmates' university life is about to enter the holiday season.

Given the orphan background provided by the system, Ji Lin warmly invited Lin Luoxue to take a spontaneous trip together before the Chinese New Year.

When Ji Lin extended this invitation to Lin Luoxue, she accepted without hesitation.

Lin Luoxue's straightforwardness stemmed from unspeakable hardships.

She grew up in a family environment with severe patriarchal bias, and every time she returned home, that sense of oppression would follow her like a shadow.

Therefore, when Ji Lin suggested going on a trip, she grasped at it as if it were a lifeline and agreed without hesitation, as long as she could get home before the Chinese New Year.

From the day school let out for the holidays until the eve of Chinese New Year, Ji Lin took Lin Luoxue on a spontaneous road trip.

Along the way, the two created countless beautiful memories together.

Happy times always fly by, and before we know it, the New Year is almost here…

Ji Lin drove the car to Lin Luoxue's house. After parking, Lin Luoxue turned to look at Ji Lin beside her and asked softly, "Why don't you come in with me to meet my family?"

Hearing this, Ji Lin's lips curled up slightly, and he teased with a hint of mockery, "Oh, so you're already planning to introduce me to your parents?"

Lin Luoxue blushed instantly, playfully punched Ji Lin's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Hmph! If you don't want to, then forget it!"

As she spoke, she reached out to open the car door in a huff, making a move to get out and leave. Ji Lin reached out his arm and pulled Lin Luoxue, who was about to get out of the car, into his arms.

He gazed tenderly at her beautiful face, gently kissed her smooth forehead, and then spoke affectionately.

"It's just meeting the parents. As long as you like it, Xue'er, I would agree to anything, even if it meant going through fire and water."

After saying that, the two embraced, enjoying this brief but sweet moment of tenderness.

After a while, Ji Lin released Lin Luoxue from his embrace and turned to walk to the trunk of the car.

A flash of light appeared, and the previously empty trunk instantly filled with many exquisite jewelry boxes and several packets of fragrant, high-quality tea.

Ji Lin had placed these things in the system space at some point, and using them to please Lin Luoxue's family was a good way to make the most of them.

Ji Lin picked up the gifts, closed the trunk, and walked side by side with Lin Luoxue toward her house.

Lin Luoxue's home is located in a prime area of ​​the city, with a luxurious villa standing in front of her. Although the Lin family can be considered a wealthy family, they have a serious preference for sons over daughters.

When Ji Lin and Lin Luoxue stepped into the house, Lin Luoxue's parents were sitting in the living room.

When they saw their daughter return with her boyfriend, they didn't show much joy on their faces, and simply greeted him indifferently.

Nevertheless, Ji Lin still greeted the two elders politely and presented them with the carefully prepared gifts.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, the family sat around the dining table for dinner.

The table was laden with delicious dishes, their aroma filling the air; however, the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Lin Luoxue's parents exchanged glances from time to time, seemingly discussing something in secret. Finally, they began to subtly inquire about Ji Lin's family background, occupation, and other information.

Ji Lin answered each question calmly and patiently, with a sincere, humble, and polite attitude.

Under the table, Ji Lin held Lin Luoxue's small hand tightly, as if giving her strength and support.

Lin Luoxue was also worried that because she was not valued at home, her parents would develop prejudice or dissatisfaction with Ji Lin.

Fortunately, Ji Lin performed exceptionally well, handling the situation with ease and showing no signs of stage fright.

Although the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit tense, it went relatively smoothly overall.

After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, occasionally chatting about everyday things.

As time went on, Lin Luoxue's parents' attitude towards Ji Lin gradually softened, and they were no longer as indifferent as they had been at the beginning.

After dinner, Ji Lin checked into a nice hotel near Lin Luoxue's house. In the days that followed, whenever Lin Luoxue had free time, she would rush out of her house to be with Ji Lin.

And so the holiday quietly passed, until the day the class grades were announced.

While Ji Lin and Lin Luoxue were having dinner outside, their phone suddenly rang, and the screen showed a call from Xiao Haiyang.

After the call connected, Xiao Haiyang excitedly asked, "Ji Lin, how about we go on a trip together?"

"I think we can go visit Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai!"

Through questioning, it was learned that Xiao Haiyang's actions were not simply about wanting to go out and have fun; more importantly, he wanted to avoid his family's questioning about his grades.

After listening, Ji Lin pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Luoxue beside him and softly asked her what she thought.

Lin Luoxue smiled and nodded, indicating that she was willing to go along.

After receiving a positive reply, Ji Lin immediately responded to Xiao Haiyang, "Okay, it's settled then!"

And so, a spontaneous trip began.

After everything was ready, Ji Lin personally drove Lin Luoxue to their destination. After a long journey that took a full day, they finally arrived at Lu Qiaochuan's city.

It was already evening when they arrived at their destination, so Ji Lin and Lin Luoxue casually found a hotel to rest.

The next morning, Ji Lin got up early, washed up, and arranged to meet Lu Qiaochuan and the others at the airport entrance to wait for Xiao Haiyang and Yu Hao to arrive.

Not long after, Xiao Haiyang and Yu Hao appeared at the airport exit.

However, from the moment Lu Qiaochuan met Xiao Haiyang, he kept complaining about Xiao Haiyang's unkind behavior.

Before the holiday, the two of them made a bet on who would get last place in the exam. Xiao Haiyang, who confidently promised to be last, is now second to last.

Lu Qiaochuan, on the other hand, became the last in the rankings. At this moment, Lu Qiaochuan looked at Xiao Haiyang with a helpless yet angry expression, secretly lamenting his misfortune.

After everyone had arrived, Ren Yifan smiled and took out a stack of papers from his bag, then handed them out to everyone present one by one, and began to speak.

"Dear friends, in order to help you better appreciate the unique charm of our city, I have specially prepared a detailed travel guide!"

"Over the next few days, I will personally drive everyone around to admire the beautiful bridges and streams, experience the rich local customs and traditions, and fully demonstrate our hospitality!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhong Bai couldn't help but start complaining.

Through Zhong Bai's rant, everyone learned that Ren Yifan had only recently obtained his driver's license.

Upon hearing this news, the people who were standing next to Ren Yifan waiting to board the bus immediately changed their minds.

They rushed towards Ji Lin's car, which was parked on the other side, as fast as they could, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would have to get into Ren Yifan's novice driver's car.

Seeing this scene, Ren Yifan's eyes widened, and he complained incredulously, "Hey, hey, hey, is it really that bad? Although I just got my driver's license, my driving skills are quite stable, okay?!"

Unfortunately, no matter how he explained or assured them, he couldn't change the decisions that others had already made.

Finally, Ji Lin drove away slowly from the spot with Lin Luoxue, Xiao Haiyang, and Yu Hao in his car.

Ren Yifan, somewhat helplessly, got into his car, started the engine, and shouted to Zhong Bai and Lu Qiaochuan, "Come on, let's go!" And so, the two cars headed towards the hotel they had booked, one after the other.

When the group finally arrived at the hotel's presidential suite, everyone became extremely dejected.

This suite not only has several separate rooms for guests to rest, but it is also equipped with a full range of kitchen utensils, making it convenient to cook a variety of delicious meals.

Once everyone entered the room, they had absolutely no desire to go out and explore anymore…
