"Er Ya, let’s go back."

Having filled out their college applications, Yiyi was ready to head home.

Hearing this, Fei Erya nodded and said with a relaxed expression, "Finally, the college entrance exams are over, now we just wait for the admission letters."

Hearing their words, Yao Hailai reminded them, "There’s still the graduation ceremony tomorrow, don’t forget to come."

"Don’t worry, teacher, we won’t forget."

After the two left the school gate, Yiyi brought up the idea of having Fei Erya come live with her again.

Mentioning this, Fei Erya looked a bit uneasy, "Yiyi, I... I’ll talk to my dad about it when I get home today."

Seeing Fei Erya’s expression, Yiyi frowned and asked, "Is it that your dad doesn’t agree?"

"Maybe my dad thinks I’m bothering you by staying at your place all the time, so... he didn’t agree immediately. But don’t worry, Yiyi, I’ll talk to him again today, he’ll definitely agree in the end."

However, Yiyi wasn’t so sure, she had a feeling Fei Erya’s family wouldn’t agree.

"Never mind, I’ll just go with you to your house and talk to your dad. You staying at our place doesn’t affect anything, so don’t worry about disturbing us. My mom and I are more than happy to have you."

Seeing Yiyi wanting to come over, Fei Erya quickly waved her hands and said, "Yiyi, I’ll explain to my dad, don’t worry about it."

"Are you sure I don’t need to say anything?"

Fei Erya quickly shook her head and said, "Really, you don’t need to."

Seeing this, Yiyi didn’t insist any further. Since Fei Erya was unwilling, she wouldn’t force her, but if there was still no decision by tomorrow, she would definitely pay a visit, otherwise who knew what might happen to Fei Erya during the holiday.

When Yiyi got home, Ding Yuejun was already there. During this time, she had been preparing everything for Yiyi, hoping nothing would distract her during the college entrance exams. Today, her daughter went back to school to estimate her scores. She really wanted to ask about it, but worried that if Yiyi didn’t do well, asking too much wouldn’t be right.

Seeing her mother looking a bit conflicted, Yiyi smiled and said, "Mom, my score estimate today was pretty good, I should be able to get into Shangjing University of Chinese Medicine."

Hearing this, Ding Yuejun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Really, that’s great."

Seeing her mother happy, Yiyi felt cheerful too. "Mom, after tomorrow’s graduation ceremony, I’ll really be on vacation. You don’t have to rush home to cook for me. I’ll go to the clothing store and cook for you and Aunt Yin."

"No need to cook for us, Suxin and I can handle it. I won’t be coming back for lunch afterwards either, I need to focus on embroidering the screen. When I take you to college, I can bring the screen to Shangjing."

Hearing this, Yiyi didn’t say more, but she had already made up her mind to help out at the clothing store.

The next day, Yiyi arrived at school on time for the graduation ceremony. However, seeing Fei Erya, she couldn’t help but frown and ask, "Er Ya, what’s wrong with you? You look so pale."

Fei Erya was about to say something when their homeroom teacher Yao Hailai came over and called them to assemble, "Everyone line up, we’re going directly to the playground for the graduation ceremony."

This interruption stopped Fei Erya from saying anything else, so she picked up her stool and went to the playground with her classmates.

Seeing this, Yiyi couldn’t ask further.

When all the seniors gathered at the playground, the graduation ceremony began.

Originally, Yiyi thought the graduation ceremony would end quickly, but didn’t expect the principal to give a lengthy speech. By the time other teachers spoke, Yiyi was almost dozing off. Luckily, the teachers spoke briefly later. After the graduation certificates were distributed, Yiyi and the others were finally high school graduates.

Even students who weren’t that familiar felt a sense of parting at this moment. Even Yiyi felt a little reluctant, she hadn’t expected high school to end so quickly.

Feeling nostalgic once more, Yiyi looked at Fei Erya and said, "Er Ya, let’s go back."

Fei Erya nodded and followed Yiyi out of the school gate.

But at that moment, Fei Erya seemed distracted. She looked at Yiyi and finally, awkwardly said, "Yiyi, I... I might not be able to stay at your house this summer. My dad still wants me to stay at home."

Hearing this, Yiyi wasn’t surprised. She had already guessed when she saw Fei Erya’s uneasy expression this morning. But this time, she was determined to let Fei Erya stay at her house. She didn’t want to see Er Ya, so young, have any accidents.

"Er Ya, I’ll go with you to your house today and talk to your dad properly. During the summer, I want to take you to Jidong Island and then have some fun nearby. After the college entrance exams, we should really relax."

Hearing this, Fei Erya was full of anticipation.

"Really, we’re going to visit those places? I heard the scenery at Jidong Island is great. But... going out for a trip costs a lot, and I... I might not have that much money." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Yiyi immediately smiled and said, "You don’t have to worry about that, I’ll take care of it."

However, Fei Erya shook her head and said, "No, I can’t use your money."

Yiyi knew Fei Erya had her principles. Before, she only agreed to stay at her house after helping with tutoring. This time, she definitely wouldn’t want something for nothing either. "Actually, I’ve been a bit busy lately. Since you’re on vacation anyway, you can help me out and I’ll pay you. That way, you’ll have money to travel."

"Yiyi, you’re not saying that on purpose, are you?"

Yiyi laughed, "I’m really not saying that on purpose. We’re short-staffed at the pharmacy, and I need help. Even if I hire you, I’d still need to hire someone else to earn money, so think about it."

Hearing this, Fei Erya had no more worries, "Okay, let’s settle it."

But before they went far, they ran into Yang Liu.

"Yiyi, Er Ya, you guys disappeared so fast, I almost couldn’t find you. Luckily, I came out to take a look, or I would have missed you."

Seeing Yang Liu, Yiyi and Fei Erya greeted her with a smile, "Teacher Yang, why are you out here?"

"I’m here to invite you for lunch tomorrow. It’s sort of a farewell feast, I’m leaving with A Cheng tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing this, Yiyi suddenly remembered what she had mentioned before. It seemed that as soon as the exams were over, Yang Liu and Fang Cheng were really going to Shangjing.

Fei Erya didn’t know about this before, so she was a bit surprised, "Teacher Yang, where are you heading?"

"A Cheng and I are going back to Shangjing, and we probably won’t come back again."
