Then the group started discussing the specific details of the vacation. Considering that after the vacation, Tang Ming and Liu Mengting would return to Songlan City for the New Year, they decided to take Tang Ming’s private plane to the destination.

This way, when the vacation ends, Tang Ming and the others can directly return to Songlan City without inconveniencing Mu Zixin for separate arrangements.

While Tang Ming and the others were enthusiastically discussing, a middle-aged man in a black trench coat and sunglasses at the neighboring table was faintly twitching his ears, having overheard everything Tang Ming and his friends said.

"Sir, if you don’t drink alcohol, you can switch to some beverages."

Gao Ya kindly reminded the middle-aged man, noticing that although he ordered alcohol, he hadn’t touched it, just sitting there blankly.

"No need. I just want to listen to music; the drinks are optional."

The middle-aged man looked up at Gao Ya, "Is it a problem if I order a drink but don’t consume it?"

"No problem, enjoy at your own pace."

Gao Ya smiled and didn’t say anything further.

After the winter vacation plans were set, Tang Ming and the others went to prepare individually.

In the following days, Liu Mengting and the others were occupied with final exams. Regardless of how casual college classes might be, final exams were crucial for graduation, so all normal students would push through finals, striving not to fail any courses.

If they fail, they’d have to retake exams next semester, which would negatively impact accumulating credits.

Except for Tang Ming and other students participating in the medical competition, who didn’t need to take exams and were idly uninvolved, everyone else was extremely busy.

While Liu Mengting and the others were focused on studying, Tang Ming was also busy during this time, staying in a hotel every day researching physiology with Zhou Xiaoqian.

From the end of the preliminary round of the medical competition to the completion of the school’s final exams, Tang Ming and Zhou Xiaoqian hadn’t left the hotel until they were too exhausted. That’s when Tang Ming escorted Zhou Xiaoqian out of the Imperial City.

Tang Ming initially intended to take Zhou Xiaoqian on vacation, but later remembered Mu Zixin emphasizing sticking to the original group, and moreover, Zhou Xiaoqian had been quite exhausted by his demands over the past few days, not fit for long journeys, so he didn’t insist.

In the afternoon, Tang Ming returned to school, seeing students everywhere dragging suitcases as they left, while Liu Mengting and the others had already gathered.

"Tang Ming, where did you go? Why are you only coming now?"

At the door of the girls’ dormitory, Liu Mengting called out discontentedly.

All six of Liu Mengting’s roommates were dragging one or even several large suitcases, seeming to have packed a lot of things.

"Do you really need to be so extravagant?"

Tang Ming swallowed nervously, turning to look at Meng Xianjun and the three others, who were like him, traveling light, in stark contrast to the girls.

"We men have it easy; just need to bring a bank card when heading out."

Meng Xianjun shrugged helplessly.

"Haha, definitely bring condoms too. I’m hoping for a romantic encounter during this vacation."

Shao Wuyou grinned lewdly, patting his pocket.

"I only need to bring books."

Hua Yingjie pointed to his bulging backpack.

"You coarse men naturally can’t compare to us. For us girls, skincare is crucial, with just skincare products needing a lot. Plus, beautiful clothes, which also require many sets..."

Chen Cang was elegantly introducing, dragging two large suitcases.

"Stop standing there and help."

Mu Zixin snapped at Tang Ming: "You said you’d arrange the car and plane. Where’s the car?"

"It’ll be here soon. We’re heading directly to the airport."

Tang Ming replied, helplessly heading toward Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, as he was responsible for their luggage.

Meng Xianjun and the others quickly stepped forward to help the girls with their things.

Soon, Tang Ming’s arranged car arrived at the school, taking Tang Ming and his group to the airport.

Once everyone boarded Tang Ming’s private plane, apart from Mu Zixin, the rest were shocked.

"Wow, I knew you were impressive, but I never guessed you’d have a private plane; that’s incredible."

Shao Wuyou excitedly examined his surroundings after boarding the plane.

Hua Yingjie and Meng Xianjun also clicked their tongues in wonder.

"In fact, when Meng Meng and I first boarded this plane, we were just as shocked as you."

Li Xiaoli proudly looked at the others, "It’s more comfortable than flying first class with an airline."

"Indeed, no matter how long the flight lasts, it won’t be boring. I’m very satisfied."

Meng Xianjun nodded repeatedly.

"Country bumpkins, it’s just a private plane; what’s there to make a fuss about?"

Mu Zixin scoffed disdainfully, picked a seat, and sat down: "It’ll take over ten hours from here to there, so you’d better find your spots and prepare to sleep."

"I’ll sit with Zixin."

Ma Jiaran immediately took a seat next to Mu Zixin.

The others also hurriedly found seats, leaving only Tang Ming, Liu Mengting, and Li Xiaoli standing.

Li Xiaoli glanced at Liu Mengting pitifully.

"I’ll sit with Chen Cang."

Liu Mengting understood, immediately heading toward Chen Cang.

"What about me?"

Tang Ming asked discontentedly.

"You sit with Xiaoli; take good care of her, alright?"

Liu Mengting waved her hand without turning back.

Earlier, she’d already discussed with Li Xiaoli about taking the opportunity during this trip to mend the relationship between Li Xiaoli and Tang Ming, so now she willingly pushed Li Xiaoli toward Tang Ming.

"Hehe, Tang Ming, you need to take good care of me."

Li Xiaoli grinned at Tang Ming, appearing scheming with her achieved success.

"I wonder what you two are up to."

Tang Ming pursed his lips, saying nothing more.

Soon, the plane soared into the sky, heading toward the sunny, beach-filled Holy Land brimming with beauties in everyone’s heart.

At the Tang Dynasty bar, Gao Ya sat alone inside, organizing things. She’d already granted leave to the employees.

Commercial places near schools rely on student spending; now that students are on break, many such venues also take holidays, and Gao Ya’s bar was open because of Tang Ming. Now that Tang Ming is on vacation, she’s naturally returning to Songlan City.

Thinking about seeing Ouyang Xiao soon filled Gao Ya with anticipation.

Just as Gao Ya was dragging her suitcase to leave, an unexpected visitor appeared.

"Sorry, the bar is on break and temporarily closed."

Gao Ya promptly spoke, then noticed the visitor was none other than the peculiar man who ordered drinks but didn’t consume them the other day.

The mysterious man in a trench coat and sunglasses didn’t leave, instead approaching Gao Ya: "Gao Ya, have you really considered yourself a private business owner?"

"Um? What do you mean by that?"

Gao Ya frowned, puzzled.

"Haha, you’ve truly forgotten the task assigned by the organization."

The visitor laughed coldly.

"You, you’re from the organization?"

Gao Ya’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the person.
