He Lingfeng finalized his travel plans and returned with the admissions teacher.
First, they would tour the Capital, then handle the enrollment process.
This time, the university was pushing quite urgently.
Perhaps they were afraid of losing the students to other schools midway.
Once the children enrolled, they would enter the gifted youth program.
As reluctant as Shen Wei was, she had to entrust the child to Lin Rui's care.
Lin Rui and Qin Shu escorted him all the way to the Capital.
Shen Wei was still considering whether to assign him a guardian.
But the school said it wasn't necessary, as they had student companions.
Zhao Jie's mother had resigned from her job to accompany her child to study in the Capital.
Both of them had independent dormitory rooms.
Moreover, Zhao Jie's mother was deeply grateful for Starry Sky Kindergarten's nurturing of her child.
She promised to take good care of He Lingfeng.
And so, the little one was ready to set off.
Though going to school was a good thing, parting always carried a hint of sadness.
Shen Wei, being an adult, could hold herself together, but tears were already forming in the corners of Mu Zhixing's eyes.
He Lingfeng carefully wiped away her tears and said, "Study hard, we'll all do well."
Both coming from similar backgrounds and having lived together at Starry Sky Kindergarten, their bond was deeper than that of ordinary children.
Mu Zhixing nodded firmly.
"I'll come back whenever there's a holiday," He Lingfeng said.
Shen Wei replied, "Make sure to call home during holidays, and we'll send someone to pick you up."
After all, the child was still so young.
He Lingfeng nodded, then left with Zhao Jie and the others.
His departure left even Professor Liu feeling quite shaken.
Professor Liu had completely resigned from his job at the third-tier institution.
Now he was at Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Shen Wei looked at Professor Liu and asked, "So what are your plans for the future?"
Professor Liu replied, "I plan to nurture two more individuals like Zhao Jie and He Lingfeng." He rubbed his hands together eagerly.
Shen Wei could only encourage Professor Liu not to give up.
Professor Liu spent his days like a treasure hunter, full of anticipation for new students.
Having encountered two top-tier geniuses in succession, Professor Liu felt incredibly powerful.
He was certain he could find obedient disciples like He Lingfeng among them.
Shen Wei was truly exhausted after finishing all of this.
While Shen Wei rested, Starry Sky Kindergarten still had people on duty.
Moreover, everyone at the kindergarten was now eager to make a name for themselves.
Whether Shen Wei was there or not made little difference.
After all, the most important task of selecting students had been completed.
Gu Qingyan had prepared a long list of travel itineraries early on and asked Shen Wei, "What do you want to do for your break?"
Shen Wei replied, "Just rest somewhere else."
This period had been extremely tiring, her throat was hoarse, and her body was exhausted.
She just wanted to turn off her phone and find a place where no one would go.
Hearing this, Gu Qingyan immediately had an idea: "Then listen to me!" The two boarded a plane and flew to an island city.
It was a third-tier tourist city in China.
Now was the off-season, so there weren't many tourists.
When they arrived, the streets were full of fruit vendors.
Gu Qingyan had booked the best sea view room in advance.
The place was known as China's Hawaii.
From the room, one could gaze out at the sea.
Gu Qingyan had also booked the adjacent room.
Standing on the balcony, Gu Qingyan could see Shen Wei in the distance.
There were lounge chairs on the balcony, directly facing the beach.
Lying on the balcony's lounge chair, it felt as if they had the entire beach to themselves.
Gu Qingyan was a bit excited.
This was their first trip since confirming their relationship.
But he didn't dare to book the same room as Shen Wei.
He could only stand reluctantly in the adjacent room.
After a while, the doorbell rang outside.
Opening the door revealed a robot delivering chilled coconut water.
Shen Wei took it and had a sip.
As expected of an island city, the coconuts were freshly picked from the trees, with a faint coconut aroma and a refreshing sweetness.
It was a freshness rarely seen in inland cities.
From the tree to her mouth, it had only been a few hours.
And that included the chilling time.
Shen Wei glanced over and saw Gu Qingyan getting up from the lounge chair. Like a big puppy, he immediately walked over to Shen Wei's side: "How is it? Is the coconut water I got for you alright?"
His whole face was beaming with a smile, and Shen Wei said, "It's very delicious, thank you."
Gu Qingyan bashfully said, "There's no need for thanks between us." As he spoke, his face reddened.
Shen Wei couldn't help but smile and teased him: "What kind of relationship do we have?"
Gu Qingyan lowered his head, too shy to speak.
Then Shen Wei asked, "Haven't you told anyone about this?"
Every time Shen Wei showed him kindness, this guy would want to broadcast it to the world.
Shen Wei always knew.
This time when Shen Wei agreed to be with him, she thought she'd be bombarded by many people the next day.
Unexpectedly, no one said anything, and this guy had managed to keep it to himself for once.
Gu Qingyan said, "We'll talk about it when we get back. Right now, I just want to enjoy a wonderful vacation with you."
Finally, the atmosphere became too awkward, so he suggested, "Let's go play on the beach."
Shen Wei nodded in agreement.
Then they went to the beach.
On the beach, Shen Wei watched as Gu Qingyan rode a jet ski back and forth in front of her.
He also went surfing. For a rich second-generation kid, these were standard activities.
Gu Qingyan was like a peacock, showing off in circles.
He kept hovering right under Shen Wei's nose.
Shen Wei couldn't help but smile.
Gu Qingyan wore a floral shirt and board shorts, with sunglasses on, looking truly sunny and handsome.
He asked Shen Wei, "Do you want to try?" It was really quite enjoyable to be out playing.
Shen Wei said, "Sure."
Originally, Gu Qingyan had just asked casually, not expecting Shen Wei to agree.
Hearing Shen Wei's answer, he was stunned at first.
Then his ears started to turn red.
He said to Shen Wei, "Come on then," and reached out his hand to her.
Gu Qingyan rode the jet ski, with Shen Wei sitting behind him, her arms around his waist.
Gu Qingyan's heart was racing, and his smile stretched almost to his ears.
Then he said to Shen Wei, "Hold on tight."
In a flash, they zoomed towards the middle of the sea.
Blue sky, white clouds, exhilarating waves, tightly embracing the boy's body.
A faint, fresh scent emanated from him.
It was a clean, crisp smell.
Without realizing it, Shen Wei had pressed against Gu Qingyan's back, able to hear his heart pounding so hard it made her ears hurt.
Shen Wei couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing Shen Wei's laughter, Gu Qingyan's heart raced even more, thump-thump-thump, non-stop.
Shen Wei said, "Let's go sea fishing tomorrow." She rarely went out to play.
Now that they were here, they naturally wanted to experience everything.
For a few thousand yuan, they could rent a boat, go out to sea, cast nets and fish, and keep everything they caught.
As soon as Shen Wei mentioned it, Gu Qingyan immediately booked a boat.
The next day, they went out to sea with a captain and first mate.
Gu Qingyan kept staring at Shen Wei.
Shen Wei asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Gu Qingyan said no. But he kept sneaking glances.
The more he looked, the more he felt that his girlfriend was truly beautiful.
