"Now that you mention it, I understand."

Tang Ming suddenly realized, although the elimination is quite intense, the contestants who advance are the best of the elite, making the value of the subsequent competition higher and higher. No wonder the medical competition receives such attention; it’s definitely a grand event for selecting talents in the medical field.

"Alright, alright, let’s head back to school. For you contestants participating in the medical competition, whether or not you pass the preliminary round, you don’t have to take the final exams this year. You’ll all pass directly, and can start your holiday early."

Guo Dahai smiled and waved his hand.

"We’re getting a break now?"

Tang Ming looked surprised, it seemed there was still a week until winter break...

"It’s an early break. If you pass the preliminary round, you’ll have to report to school a week early before the start of the next semester, as all contestants from the Imperial City division will head out together for the next round of competition."

Huang Di explained, "Allowing you to start your holiday early is also to make up for your vacation."

"I see, there’s nearly two months before the next semester starts—this holiday is quite long."

Liu Xinlong became excited, "Just right, we can take advantage of this holiday to really brush up on our medical skills. Even cramming last minute would be useful."

"It’s best to think this way. Over two months is not short, if you manage to pass the preliminary round, you must really give it your all."

Guo Dahai kept nodding with a smile, reminding them.

"The preliminary round and the next competition are spaced so far apart."

Tang Ming muttered in frustration, then said nothing more.

A group of people took a car back to school, temporarily disbanding.

"Xiaoqian, since we’re on holiday now, what are your plans next?"

Back at the dorm, when Zhu Chenglong and the others hadn’t finished school yet, Tang Ming uncertainly asked Zhou Xiaoqian.

"I want to return to Songlan City, to see my dad and Big Brother Dafu, what about you?"

Zhou Xiaoqian sat by the bed, curiously asking Tang Ming back.

"I really don’t know."

Tang Ming furrowed his brows, his previous plan was to walk around after school went on break, after Liu Mengting and others returned to Songlan City, to find Xia Wei’er. But now, he had to participate in the medical competition, and the early break had messed things up a bit.

"Why don’t you come back to Songlan City with me."

Zhou Xiaoqian looked expectantly at Tang Ming.

"Not possible for now."

Tang Ming shook his head, "Even though we’re on break, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli haven’t started their holiday yet. I need to wait here until they do, then make plans."

"Oh, alright then."

Zhou Xiaoqian nodded in disappointment.

"Hehe, but since we’re on break, we don’t have to stay in the dorm. Before you go back to Songlan City, we can enjoy our two-person world."

Seeing Zhou Xiaoqian looking a bit down, Tang Ming immediately grabbed her hand, "Quickly pack your things, we’ll go out tonight and I’ll accompany you for a few days."

"Really?"

Zhou Xiaoqian immediately brightened with joy.

"Of course it’s true, I’ll book a hotel right now. Then you wait for me at the hotel, I need to go to Imperial University to discuss some upcoming plans with them."

Tang Ming nodded confidently.

"Alright, alright, I’ll go back to the dorm to pack now, let’s keep in touch by phone."

Zhou Xiaoqian eagerly walked out.

"I’ve started my holiday early, I wonder if they have any special plans."

Tang Ming took out his phone and started contacting people.

By evening, at Tang Dynasty Bar, Tang Ming, the four people from Imperial University’s dorm, Liu Mengting’s dorm of six, plus Chen Cang, were all sitting together drinking.

"You all haven’t gathered for a long time, what’s the occasion today?"

Gao Ya personally prepared the drinks, asking with interest.

"No idea! Tang Ming hasn’t actively invited me in a long time, I’m so happy!"

Li Xiaoli shouted excitedly. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Hey, I’m here to chat with Liu Mengting, this has nothing to do with you."

Tang Ming frowned impatiently, turning his head to point behind him, "The person who wants to ask you out is there."

They saw Feng Liubing holding a rose, loitering in the bar, but due to fear of Tang Ming and others, he didn’t dare to come directly.

"He can’t see me, he can’t see me."

Li Xiaoli immediately lowered her head, muttering repeatedly.

"Here’s the deal, I’ve started my holiday early, Old Meng and Old Hua are about the same as me. Now the question is, how to arrange the winter holiday travel plans. Are you planning to go straight home after the break, or do you have other arrangements?"

Tang Ming knocked on the table.

"Absolutely not going home."

Li Xiaoli immediately shouted, "We want to go out and play, first have fun before going home for New Year’s."

"I wasn’t asking you."

Tang Ming impatiently glared at Li Xiaoli, then looked at Liu Mengting.

"Our dorm has already discussed it, after the holiday we’re planning to travel together."

Liu Mengting quickly looked at Tang Ming, "To somewhere warmer."

"Are you planning to go to the South Sea?"

Tang Ming asked uncertainly, furrowing his brow.

"That’s aiming too low!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zixin sneered dismissively, "We’ve already decided to vacation in Hawaii."

"Abroad?"

Tang Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Do you have passports? Have you arranged the visa?"

"My family bought an island in Hawaii, which has now been developed into a high-end resort. As long as I say the word, they will send a plane to pick us up directly, no other procedures are needed."

Mu Zixin smiled proudly, "It’s like inviting people to my home as guests."

"Your family bought an island, that’s a bit much, isn’t it?"

Tang Ming looked at Mu Zixin in amazement, the others exclaiming in wonder.

Domestically, rich people compete over houses and estates, but Mu Zixin’s family has developed their assets abroad, by islands!

"That sounds great."

Shao Wuyou’s eyes lit up as he looked at Mu Zixin, "Beaches, beauties, bikinis—I’ve been wanting to experience that for a long time. Can I be counted in?"

"As long as I’m happy, it’s all good."

Mu Zixin proudly lifted her chin, finally able to show off in front of Tang Ming and the others once.

"We sisters have unanimously decided to vacation there for a period after the holiday, then go home, but Tang Ming has to accompany us."

Liu Mengting glanced at Tang Ming, speaking faintly.

"I know you can’t be without him, rest assured, I’ve already reserved spots for him and his dorm."

Mu Zixin sneered, unhappily looking at Tang Ming, "During National Day we vacationed together at your expense. Although it was quite normal, to return the favor, all expenses of this original crew’s vacation will be covered by me."

"Not even spending money, this is simply amazing."

Meng Xianjun and Shao Wuyou once again became excited.
