Lin You’s several near-perfect test papers did indeed have a certain impact.
Upon hearing his plans for an outing and looking at Lin You’s completed homework, Jiang Nian raised her eyebrows and then lowered them.
She ruffled her youngest son’s head and thought to herself that although he can be a bit mischievous, at least his grades haven’t suffered, there was finally something she can be proud of besides his face.
So, with a wave of her hand, she allowed Lin You to go out and even provided him with some extra money to supplement his meager wallet.
However, as Jiang Nian looked at him, she couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.
“This money is for your outing. Don’t come back with a 4000 yuan blessed jade pendant again,” Jiang Nian nagged him.
Upon hearing this, Lin You’s face fell, and he grumbled quietly, dissatisfied, “That was years ago. Why do you always bring it up? Can’t you give your son a bit of face?”
That incident happened during his third year in junior high.
He went on that trip with Lu Qingyan and his siblings. All it took was the time used to burn some incense. While the others were momentarily distracted, he was swindled by a vendor selling jade pendants near the temple entrance. The pendant was said to have been blessed and possessed spiritual qualities.
By the time Lu Qingyan rushed over, that fool Lin You was still squatting in front of the vendor’s stall, contemplating buying another pendant to give to Lu Qingyan as well.
Lu Qingyan didn’t know whether to thank him for his thoughtfulness or scold him for being foolish.
But before Lu Qingyan could confront the vendor, the vendor had already sensed the situation and hastily packed up and fled. It was clear that he was very experienced in his line of work.
When they returned home, Mrs. Jiang Nian listened to her daughter recounts the whole incident and wasn’t sure what expression to put on her face.
She thought to herself, “With Lin You’s math skills, he should be able to score at least 140. He doesn’t look like a fool at all, so why is he easier to deceive than the old man at the village entrance?”

After much consideration, the only conclusion she could draw was that this child took after his father. He might be academically intelligent, but naturally lacked common sense in daily life.

“You and Dad are going back to Yundu this afternoon, right? What time?” Lin You asked.

“Yeah, we have to leave at two. We still have work at the company.”
Jiang Nian felt a bit guilty towards Lin You.
When Lin Siyu and Lin Sizhe were young, their jobs weren’t as busy and they had time to accompany the twins as they grew up. However, when Lin You was born, they were both promoted and hardly had any time to take care of the child.
Growing up, most of Li You’s trips were with Lu Qingyan or his older siblings. He rarely went out with his parents.
“Have fun, and if you need anything, ask your brother, otherwise, try not to disturb them on their couple’s date,” Jiang Nian patted Lin You’s shoulder.
Lin You didn’t say anything further.
He waved to his mom and left with Lu Qingyan.
While waiting for Lu Beiming and Lin Siyu to drive the car to the front gate, Lu Qingyan asked Lin You in a low voice, “Do you not want to go anymore? You want to spend a couple more days with Auntie and Uncle?”
Lin You didn’t speak; pouting and seemingly angry with someone.
But after a while, he said quietly, “It’s not that. Even if I stay at home, they can’t really spend time with me anyway. They’re leaving in the afternoon, and these two extra hours won’t make much of a difference. It’ll just put a burden on them instead, making them think that I can’t bear to be apart from them.”
Lin You fiddled with the handle on the suitcase, remembering last year’s parent-teacher conference, which his brother attended.
Although he could be mischievous and a bit playful, his grades were excellent, and the parents present all looked at him with praise.
But unfortunately, among all those people, his own parents were not there.
Lu Beiming’s car had already arrived, and he was parking and opening the trunk, signaling for them to come over.
Lu Qingyan lifted the suitcase and reached for Lin You’s hand. “Let’s go. Although you might be tired of seeing me, I’m the one who will be accompanying you this National Day. So say it, what do you want to eat when we arrive?”
As Lin You was led by Lu Qingyan towards the car, he thought for a moment and then began smiling again.
“I want to eat ice cream.”
“Is that all you want? Can’t you have a little more ambition?”
Lin You boldly replied, “Life isn’t worth living without ice cream.”
Sitting in the car, Lin You looked at the sky outside. It was still only 9 am.
He asked his brother, “Ge, how long will it take us to reach that resort?”
Lin Siyu glanced at the navigation and and replied, “About an hour.”
Lin You responded with an “Oh” and stopped talking.
He took out his phone and started checking if there were any interesting places near the resort together with Lu Qingyan.
Hearing Lin You chattering behind him, Lu Beiming chuckled and said to Lin Siyu, “Your little brother is quite a chatterbox.”
Lin Siyu also laughed. Lin You had indeed always been lively and talkative since he was a kid.
“Fortunately, Qingyan can handle him,” Lin Siyu smiled and shook his head.
After twenty minutes, Lin Siyu glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that Lin You had already fallen asleep on Lu Qingyan’s shoulder. Lin You’s face was pressed against Lu Qingyan’s neck, with almost half of his body weighing on Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qingyan didn’t mind his weight and even seemed accustomed to it. He had one hand around Lin You’s waist, while the other held his phone.
Who knows whether Lin You was uncomfortable or something else, but he murmured a few words in his sleep. Lu Qingyan lowered his head and took a glance, then adjusted their positions to make it more comfortable for Lin You.
Lin Siyu raised an eyebrow, thinking that even he didn’t have that much patience for Lin You.
It wasn’t until they arrived at the vacation resort that Lu Qingyan woke Lin You up.
This resort had three accommodation areas, consisting of three buildings.
Lu Beiming booked a small villa in Zone A for himself and Lin Siyu, while he packed Lin You and Lu Qingyan off to a hotel in Zone B, clearly intending to get rid of the two tagalongs.
However, Zone A and Zone B were only a ten-minute walk apart, very close to each other.
Once they entered the room in Zone B, Lin You realized it was also a suite. He and Lu Qingyan each had their own room with a small living room in between. It resembled the layout of their dormitory, but much larger and more luxurious.
There was even a small kitchen next to the living room, and the refrigerator was filled with food.
Lin You rummaged through it and unexpectedly found a bottle of champagne.
Ho ho ho what’s next? Someone getting drunk 🥴 and telling the shameless truth like ” sad gege is not an Alpha I would let you mark me 😳” or a plot of a stranger hitting on omegas and being put in their place 🏃 or maybe the classic only have one bed 😆
Thank for the chapter 💝
