Chapter 253 Continuing the Journey
The exams will be over soon, and everything will proceed as planned.
In mid-January, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao had both made preparations for the winter camp.
They met downstairs at Qiao Yingzi's building and the four of them took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
Upon arriving in Yingtian Prefecture again, Qiao Yingzi felt somewhat more familiar with the place.
The hotel was the same one she had stayed at last time. Ji Yangyang knew that nothing like miniature cameras had ever been detected there.
"Ji Yangyang, why did you book four rooms?" Qiao Yingzi asked curiously.
Ji Yangyang handed the room key to Qiao Yingzi, saying, "It's better to be comfortable staying here by yourself!"
Song Qian didn't speak, but her pretty face flushed slightly.
Ji Yangyang had told her beforehand that she should learn from the lesson of last time.
The four of them put down their luggage and went to meet up in Ji Yangyang's room.
Ji Yangyang assigned tasks, "We need to report for duty today. It just so happens that you are all on the same day, so we will split into two groups. Taozi and I will go to the medical university, while Sister Qian and Yingzi will go to the astronomy department."
This wasn't the first time Huang Zhitao had heard the name "Sister Qian," but she still felt awkward every time she heard it.
Song Qian helped Qiao Yingzi put away the registration materials. "Okay, let's do it this way."
"I've booked a room at the Sivir Hotel. We'll meet at the hotel after the check-in process is complete." Ji Yangyang took out her phone, created a small group chat for the group, and shared the hotel address and room number.
The four parted ways downstairs, and Ji Yangyang took Huang Zhitao to the medical university.
In the taxi, Ji Yangyang suddenly asked Huang Zhitao, "Taozi, your mother's name is Tao Yue, and your uncle's name is Pan Shuai. They have different surnames!"
Huang Zhitao was absentmindedly looking at the scenery rushing past the window when she heard Ji Yangyang's words. She snapped out of her reverie and said, "Ah? Oh, my mom takes my maternal grandmother's surname."
"No wonder." Ji Yangyang's confusion was cleared up, and her obsessive-compulsive disorder finally felt relieved. "So, do you think your uncle and Teacher Li Meng will end up together?"
Huang Zhitao was somewhat surprised, "The two of them actually...?"
"Don't you know? Pan Shuai... when your uncle looked at Li Meng, his eyes were practically glowing with lust. The way he fawned over her was just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers."
Huang Zhitao was displeased and glared at Ji Yangyang. "That's my uncle, don't talk about him like that! But Teacher Li Meng should be a good candidate, if things work out."
“I reckon even if Li Meng is willing to consider your uncle, it will have to wait until after she graduates from high school. Maybe you can talk to your uncle and tell him not to rush things.” Ji Yangyang also thought the two were a good match.
Huang Zhitao was a little downcast. "I probably can't control him. Although I live with my uncle, we hardly talk to each other every day."
"You can come to Yingzi's house later, and we can study together." Ji Yangyang noticed Huang Zhitao's low spirits and patted her head.
"Do you like touching people's hair? I often see you touching Yingzi's hair."
Ji Yangyang recalled for a moment, "There weren't many, maybe it's just a habit."
The registration process was quite quick. In this information age, there's no need for such cumbersome procedures. Just show your ID, prove your identity, and do some work on the computer, and the registration is complete.
It just takes a while to queue.
Before four o'clock, the two arrived at the Sivir Hotel.
Unexpectedly, Song Qian and Qiao Yingzi also happened to get off the bus.
Ji Yangyang helped the two close the taxi door. "You guys are so fast too?"
"It'll be quick, just a few minutes."
Upon entering the hotel, Huang Zhitao was shocked and whispered to Ji Yangyang, "Isn't it unnecessary for just a few of us to come to such a high-end restaurant?"
"Since we've finally come out of town, we definitely have to try the best food here."
Huang Zhitao checked the amount in her wallet and felt a little more confident. After all, it was just a meal.
…………
The next day, the two students who had already registered went to their winter camp accommodations.
Song Qian and Ji Yangyang were left alone in the empty room.
The two of them didn't just sit idle; they went to look at houses. Since they had decided to study here, having a few houses of their own would make things much more comfortable.
Although Ji Yangyang knew that housing prices were nearing their peak, he wasn't particularly concerned. He was buying a house out of necessity, not as an investment, so the rise and fall of housing prices didn't affect him much; he only cared about whether the house suited his taste.
Ultimately, Ji Yangyang chose a lakeside villa. It was a four-story detached villa with two large gardens, surrounded by a fence. A small dock extended into the lake, allowing for boating and fishing.
Although it can't compare to the mansion-style luxury house I bought before, it's still considered a very high-end villa.
Song Qian thought it was a bit expensive, but Ji Yangyang liked it, so she didn't say anything more. Besides, she knew that Ji Yangyang was rich and good at making money.
By the time Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao's winter camp ended, Ji Yangyang had already obtained the key.
"We'll just make do at the hotel today, and next time we come, we can stay at home!" Ji Yangyang showed the two dumbfounded girls around her new house.
As they walked from the first floor to the top floor, Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao stood on the villa's rooftop, looking at the lakeside scenery. "Ji Yangyang, your family is really rich!"
This immediately reminded Ji Yangyang.
"You two can look around as you like. I'm going to talk to Sister Qian about something." With that, she walked away.
Finding the matter in the small garden, he pulled her into the bedroom and said, "Sister Qian, there's something I need your help with."
Song Qian glanced outside, hesitating, "But they're all here. If this goes on for too long, they'll come looking for us!"
“It’s not that!” Ji Yangyang took out her phone and pulled up Ji Shengli’s information. “He is my father, so this house cannot be registered in my name for the time being. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if someone finds out.”
Although nothing serious has happened, it's always good to avoid a little trouble.
Song Qian glanced at her phone. "So what do you mean?"
"The house will be in your name."
"No! This is too valuable. It's inappropriate to write my name on it!" Song Qian quickly shook her head.
Ji Yangyang grasped Song Qian's hand. "Sister Qian! There aren't many people in this world I can trust, but you are the one I can trust the most! Only you know about the money I've made; I haven't even told my parents."
Song Qian considered it for a moment and nodded. "Alright then, but don't let Yingzi know about this."
Fortunately, it takes some time for the developer to issue the invoice. I called them, had the purchase contract destroyed, and signed a new one.
Song Qian now owns another luxury house.
Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao's winter camp went very smoothly, and both of them got what they wanted.
After resting for another day in Yingtian Prefecture, they celebrated for the two of them in the evening. The next day, the four of them boarded a plane to Hainan Island to continue their journey.
