Chapter 1053 - 1051: Ji Huan, Her Only Secret
Zhu Qianying stared at Zhu Qianyu for a good while, and only after a long time did she sigh and say."Xiao Yu, I just hope you find a man who is wholeheartedly devoted to you. I don’t want you to repeat our mom’s mistakes."
"Sister, I won’t, don’t worry!" Zhu Qianyu promised Zhu Qianying confidently.
The two sisters hadn’t seen each other for a while, and on their way, even without mentioning men, they had plenty to talk about.
So, whether intentionally or not, from the restaurant to the dormitory and back to the hotel, the sisters never brought up Young Master Yan or the married man Xiao Yu had mentioned.
"Sister, you go take a shower first."
While her sister was in the shower, Zhu Qianyu communicated online with the travel agency’s customer service to see if she could cancel her booking.
The attitude of the travel agency’s customer service was relatively good, initially suggesting that she postpone the trip to the following week.
But how could Zhu Qianyu feel comfortable asking for leave two weeks in a row? Even if Tian Fang was willing to approve it, she felt awkward applying.
In the end, Zhu Qianyu canceled the short trip for the next two days, and the travel agency refunded 70% of the original price.
"You’re planning to travel?"
Zhu Qianying’s voice floated over her head unexpectedly, and at that moment, the computer screen still displayed the records of her communication with the customer service.
Zhu Qianyu no longer hid it, turning around to wrap her arms around Zhu Qianying’s waist.
"Wasn’t I on holiday, and since I was bored, I planned to go on a trip tomorrow to unwind with a tour group? But now that you’re here, I’d much rather spend time with you!"
Zhu Qianying glanced at the order displayed on the screen, showing that the number of participants in the tour was just one person. Without thinking further, she ruffled Zhu Qianyu’s hair and laughed, "So grown-up, yet still like a child, so fond of acting cute."
Zhu Qianyu hummed and snuggled against her a few times until Zhu Qianying couldn’t take it anymore and forcibly pushed her away.
"You go take a shower, and I’ll look up what’s fun to do in R City."
Zhu Qianyu got up to grab clothes, noticing her sister taking a laptop out of her own bag, she said, "Sister, you can use my computer."
Zhu Qianying couldn’t be bothered, "Forget it, I don’t want to be accused of snooping around."
During Zhu Qianyu’s rebellious phase, she once had a big argument with Zhu Qianying for opening her computer.
Now, with Zhu Qianying bringing it up, both sisters found it amusing.
In fact, since childhood, Zhu Qianyu never had any secrets in front of her sister.
Even in her most rebellious ages of thirteen or fourteen, though she would loudly declare she didn’t want her sister to meddle, whenever things didn’t go well or she was upset, she’d always run to snuggle up in bed with her sister and unload all her troubles onto her, whether her sister wanted to hear it or not.
Ji Huan was, until now, the only secret she was unwilling to share with her sister.
"Xiao Yu, come take a look."
As soon as Zhu Qianyu finished showering, she sat on one of the beds with legs crossed, with the computer in Zhu Qianying’s lap, and she beckoned her over.
Zhu Qianyu climbed onto the bed, resting her head on her sister’s shoulder to look at the screen, "Sister, are you picking out a honeymoon spot?"
The sharp-eyed Zhu Qianyu saw in her sister’s search terms "places suitable for a honeymoon in R City."
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at her, "I’m just interested in the results, not the process."
Zhu Qianyu understood what her sister meant; of course, her sister wasn’t planning on a honeymoon in R City. She was looking for a scenic, quiet place to relax for a couple of days without too many people around.
"Have you been to this forest resort park?"
Zhu Qianying pointed to the beautiful images on the screen, "These are all screenshots from travel diaries posted by travelers. I think they’re quite pretty."
Zhu Qianyu found it puzzling, "Sister, weren’t you planning to explore the city? Why go to the remote mountains and forests?"
Zhu Qianying patted her head from behind, "I just want to go around with you, and since you want to play outdoors, this place is nice."
Only then did Zhu Qianyu realize her sister had seen her entire travel booking clearly.
She was relieved that there was nothing on her computer that she couldn’t reveal.
"I’m fine with it, but I don’t know what Brother Aaron thinks."
"Aaron likes fishing, and there’s a large reservoir here. We can enjoy the hot springs while he goes fishing—perfect!"
The plan for tomorrow’s playtime was settled just like that.
When it was time to sleep, Zhu Qianyu insisted on crawling into Zhu Qianying’s bed.
Her sister scolded her for being childish but lifted the quilt to let her in.
Then, the sisters, like always at home, chatted under the covers until midnight.
Just like before, Zhu Qianyu fell asleep mid-conversation. Zhu Qianying was both amused and annoyed, covering her with the blanket, tiptoeing to climb onto another bed to sleep.
After all, sharing a single bed was anything but comfortable.
The next morning, Zhu Qianyu was awakened by her sister’s phone alarm.
Zhu Qianying first instructed Zhu Qianyu to get up quickly, then called Xing Bailun, who was staying next door, to inform him of their playtime location and agreed to meet at the entrance in fifteen minutes for breakfast and then to the supermarket to buy outing supplies.
Wherever her sister was, there was always excitement and fun.
In the following two days, Zhu Qianyu went rafting, accompanied Xing Bailun fishing, soaked in hot springs, and even went bungee jumping with her sister.
What she thought would be a depressing getaway turned into an extraordinary time because of her sister’s companionship.
During these two days, Ji Huan hardly crossed Zhu Qianyu’s mind at all.
So, when Zhu Qianying and Xing Bailun dropped Zhu Qianyu off at her dormitory, she clung to her sister, reluctant to let go.
"Sister, do you really have to leave? Can’t you stay with me?" The little girl clung to Zhu Qianying like a weaned child, refusing to let go.
Zhu Qianying pushed her away with effort, patted her head, and laughed, "Looks like I’m destined to be a nanny. Sent you so far away for schooling, and after just two days together, you’re already clinging on like this?"
Xing Bailun stepped aside to hug her, "Xiao Yu, if you couldn’t bear to leave your sister so much, why were you so insistent on coming to study in R City in the first place? Wasn’t L University perfectly fine?"
Zhu Qianyu couldn’t be bothered to explain to Xing Bailun. After all, these were matters between her and her sister.
Even though Xing Bailun was quite familiar with the sisters’ affairs.
Most of it he learned through other sources, not directly from the sisters themselves.
"Go on, I won’t keep you, otherwise you’ll call me a clingy child again."
Zhu Qianyu pushed her sister and Xing Bailun into the car, waving them off to signal them to leave quickly.
Only when Xing Bailun’s car was out of sight did Zhu Qianyu slowly turn around, and after taking a couple of steps, she suddenly felt a bit strange. She looked up to see Ji Huan standing by his car, looking at her from a distance.
