It was undoubtedly exciting. Two whole months to relax and have fun.

Zhou Xiaoming and the others were no exception. As soon as school let out, they packed their bags and planned to head south to S City, where they would live it up for two months.

S City was a famous coastal city, boasting numerous tourist attractions, beautiful scenery, and a pleasant climate. Every sweltering summer, countless visitors from elsewhere traveled to S City for vacations.
