His father was an ordinary steel factory worker—he couldn’t be drinking Moutai and 1573 every day. His mother was a teacher—she couldn’t be using skincare products worth tens of thousands daily. If anyone saw that, wouldn’t they suspect she was taking bribes?

Then again, it made sense. He and his cousin had spent an entire day traveling. Naturally, the holiday went by fast.

What was the point of returning so soon? He might as well rest at home. Going back to campus didn’t sound fun—unless he wanted to watch Wang Chu and the class monitor’s messy romance play out?

“You don’t have any classes right now. What’s the difference between being at home and at school? Besides, even if you go back, you’ll just rest in your dorm. Once you’re in Jiangning, I’ll take care of food, drinks, and fun. Whatever you want, I’ll arrange it,” Liu Rushuang chimed in.

One of her reasons for coming over today was to convince Lin Mo to go back with them tomorrow.

First, they were all heading in the same direction. Second, since Lin Mo had gone through a little “incident” recently, leaving him alone here might not be a good idea. It was better to bring him along—keep him within sight.

Third, once Su He left tomorrow, she couldn’t stay behind either. She wanted to make the most of her time—and it would be awkward to remain in South City alone. That would make her intentions far too obvious.

Lin Mo thought about it and decided she had a point—especially since he’d acquired that new skill earlier that morning. His hands were itching to try it out. Maybe he could even start a side hustle.

It wasn’t a bad idea to go back. Staying home wouldn’t earn him money anyway. Might as well head to Jiangning—and get a free ride while he was at it.
