Chapter 310: Hotel

~14 min read 2,756 words

"Kids, be quiet for a moment; we'll choose rooms at the hotel later, now let's all eat some local snack treats together!"

The southern weather is too hot; the bus has air‑conditioning, but the teachers still worry these kids might get heatstroke. The staff here have already opened the boxes containing the cooling jelly.

"Wow, there are two colors!"

The teacher opened the two boxes, and the kids who were just shouting about the room stared at the two boxes holding a black and a white item, faces full of curiosity, and crowded around, peeking.

"Right, each child can take a portion; if you don't like it, you can put it back in this box!"

The teachers also prepared cool tea, but they still give the kids the cooling jelly first. After all, it's a local specialty; it would be a pity not to try it.

"Alright, let's sit back in our original seats, set the small tables, and wait for the teacher to hand out the cooling jelly!"

"Okay!"

"Got it!"

"Sit properly!"

The kids each sat properly, set the small tables on the bus, and waited for the teacher to hand out the cooling jelly.

After the teacher gave out a portion of black cooling jelly and a portion of white cooling jelly, she watched a child wipe his hands with a wet tissue before leaving. When it reached Su Yu's group, among the three kids, Liang Yan and Tang Can both opened theirs and tasted them, while Su Yu didn't eat, just watched everyone.

"Little sister Xiao Yu, aren't you eating?"

Su Yu nodded, "I've tried it, but I don't like it!"

Their whole family is quite picky. In the nearly ten months she's been back at the Su Family, the chef has made many tasty snacks for Su Yu according to the seasons. This cooling jelly is one of them. Ji Yan and Xu Mingyue both think it's very refreshing, but Su Yu doesn't really like it.

Liang Yan scooped a bite, "I think it's pretty good!"

Su Yu, fearing Liang Yan might get diarrhea if she ate too much, didn't give her her own portion, and said, "You like it, next time you come to my house, the chef uncle can make it!"

"Sure!"

Liang Yan finished her portion, then took out a sketchbook to play with Su Yu. Tang Can also sped up eating, and the three kids gathered together to color.

Su Yu handed the two untouched portions of cooling jelly to the teacher.

After they rode to the hotel, the teacher led the kids off the vehicle. The children, dressed in matching red‑and‑white uniforms, each dragged their own small suitcase into the hotel.

Su Yu swung her short legs, hurried inside, jumped, and swiped her card.

"Hello, I'd like a suite! The best kind!"

The front desk staff recognized who it was just by the cute little face, and weren't surprised to see a card belonging to the Su Clan Group chairman.

"Little General Manager Su, may I ask whether you'd like a suite closer to the 90th floor or the presidential suite on the 98th floor?"

"98, three kids and one bodyguard checking in."

The teacher interjected at this point, "Wait, can three bodyguards stay in with the kids?"

The receptionist hesitated; their presidential suite has two bedrooms, and adding more people would mean sleeping on the sofa.

Su Yu looked at Liang Yan and Tang Can, "Huo Huo, Can Can, do we need three auntie bodyguards for protection?"

Tang Can and Liang Yan both shook their heads, "No need!"

Su Yu looked at the teacher, "Teacher, one auntie bodyguard is enough for us!"

The teacher squatted down and seriously asked the three of Su Yu, "Are you sure?"

The three kids answered in unison, "Sure!"

"Then we'll do as they said!"

"Alright!"

The receptionist quickly tapped a few times, "Here's the room card, please keep it safe!"

Another receptionist has already handed all the 90th‑floor room cards to the leading teacher.

The receptionist stepped out, first squatted to exchange the room card for Su Yu's card, then gently said, "Little General Manager Su, please follow me; the 98th floor has a private elevator."

"Alright! Teacher, Can Can, Huo Huo and I will go up first!"

"Okay!"

The teacher counted the room cards and went up with the other seven kids!

At first the leading teacher felt a bit uneasy. But while settling the children, she was grateful that Su Yu and the others had left so many bodyguards for them.

The 90th‑floor décor was beautiful; perhaps because they gave advance notice, every room had some toys that kids like. The view outside the window was also stunning, completely different from ground level or an airplane's perspective!

Thus all the kids were very rowdy!

One child went wild, and the two adults couldn't hold them back!

Without being able to hit the kids, trying to catch them left all the teachers and bodyguards exhausted.

After settling these seven kids, the teacher finally had time to go up to the 98th floor to see Su Yu and the others.

Even with bodyguards assisting, the teacher still wasn't at ease about the trio. Su Yu is only three years old; she's really that young!

"What are you doing?"

Su Yu, Liang Yan and Tang Can looked up at the teacher whose sweat hadn't dried.

Su Yu thoughtfully pulled out a tissue and handed it to the teacher, "Teacher, wipe your sweat!"

"Thanks!"

Liang Yan pointed at the tower outside, "We're assembling a small model just like that one!"

Tang Can added, "Then we'll take photos and send them to our families!"

The teacher looked carefully, "Is there another one of these models?"

She thought they could give each of the other seven kids one. Having something to do would make those kids much more settled!

The after‑effect of sleeping on the plane is that they're just too excited! The adults are exhausted, yet they can still run around the room wildly!

The three kids all shook their heads in unison, "Don't know!"

The teacher smiled, feeling perhaps too tired, her mind not fully switched, and she actually asked the three kids.

"If any part of your body feels uncomfortable, tell the teacher, okay?"

"Mm-hmm!"

All three children nodded obediently. The teacher checked the common medicines in the suite, gave some instructions to the bodyguard watching over them, and only then returned to the 90th floor.

Watching the teacher leave, Liang Yan knocked over the building blocks and dragged out a large dressed doll from behind the sofa.

"Little sister Xiao Yu, you're so smart! The teacher really did ask!"

Tang Can picked up the remote control from the sofa and drove the little race car out.

"Bzzzz!"

The race car carried the building blocks around in circles, finally stopping steadily beside Su Yu, who was earnestly stacking blocks.

"Remember, don't let anything slip!"

Su Yu, Tang Can, and Liang Yan had grown bored after going up to look at the scenery. Su Yu wasn't very interested in the view, Liang Yan had plenty of travel experience, and Tang Can had been on quite a few study trips, giving them all the illusion that it was nothing special.

Seeing her little friends unenthusiastic, Su Yu spent money to have the customer service here buy dolls and a race car for them.

Learning that the teacher would be coming up, Su Yu had her two friends hide the toys. She had money, but didn't want to spend it on travel companions she wasn't familiar with.

The building blocks were a gift from the hotel to guests of the presidential suite. If they wanted them, the hotel would probably be willing to give them, considering they had booked an entire floor.

"Okay!"

Liang Yan happily changed clothes for her new doll, Tang Can continued testing the race car's load capacity, and Su Yu was in charge of the three children's block tower.

Su Yi and Ji Yan settled into another suite before they finally had time to watch the video the bodyguard had recorded.

After Ji Yan finished watching, she asked Su Yi, "Are you sure they can cooperate with other children like this?"

Su Yi was still nursing a grudge! Su Yu really knew how to pick — she picked the best room in one go. When he and Ji Yan came over, they could only stay in a slightly inferior suite.

"Definitely not. How did she start liking to act special?"

According to the original plan, they should have stayed on the 90th floor, just like those other children.

Ji Yan ignored Su Yi, who was acting childish again. "Never mind, as long as she has friends!"

……

Early the next morning, the teachers took a group of children to eat breakfast.

"They call this morning tea here. You can order whatever you like!"

Su Yu didn't act special this time. She sat in the restaurant with Tang Can and Liang Yan, looking through the picture book the server gave them.

A child pointed at a picture and asked the teacher, "Aren't little goldfish not allowed to be eaten?"

"This just looks like a goldfish. It's not a real goldfish!"

"It really does. I've only ever seen rabbits!"

"If you like it, you can order one to take a look."

The parents were all very generous about food and drink. The budget was sufficient for now, and the teachers were happy to let the children see more things!

The three of them — Su Yu, Tang Can, and Liang Yan — quietly ordered what they liked to eat and waited for their food.

They ate quietly, but the other seven children were not so quiet.

"I want this one too!"

A child saw Tang Can and the others eating happily, reached out, grabbed a pastry shaped like a lantern, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Mmph, not sweet enough. Not good!"

After one bite, he found it didn't taste good, so he tossed the little lantern-shaped pastry back onto his plate. Seeing them pick up other pastries, he reached out to grab one too, took a bite, still didn't think it tasted good, and threw it away again.

Tang Can watched, somewhat angry. She had said she didn't like participating in this kind of activity! These children were too childish!

Su Yu complained to the teacher directly, "Teacher, he's not hygienic at all. He grabs food with his hands and doesn't use chopsticks!"

The three teachers watched the children but simply couldn't keep up. The bodyguards the children brought only managed safety, not their eating habits.

Only after bringing them out did the teachers realize the trouble — some children's habits were truly terrible!

"You can't waste food!"

"But it doesn't taste good!"

"Then take what you like to eat."

"No, I want to try it!"

……

Breakfast was a mess. Su Yu, Tang Can, and Liang Yan didn't eat their fill. That child led the other children astray — several copied him and used their hands.

After the meal, the teachers took them back to their rooms and sternly criticized them! They taught them the proper way to eat and how to try new foods.

Su Yu returned to their suite with Tang Can and Liang Yan. "Did you two eat enough?"

Liang Yan and Tang Can shook their heads. "No!"

The three of them had exercised a bit after getting up, and that little bit of food wasn't enough at all!

"Then let's order some more!"

Su Yu opened the tablet and let Tang Can and Liang Yan order food.

Only after they finished eating did the teacher give them the map for the next stop.

"Today we're going to visit that tower. Lunch and dinner will both be eaten there. Children, make sure to bring everything you need! Those who like taking photos, change into the clothes you like — we'll take a group photo inside the tower as a memento."

"Okay!"

"Sure!"

"Mm-hmm!"

……

The scenery and facilities inside the tower were both nice. They rode the Ferris wheel and watched several thrilling attractions. After that, they also learned to look at the scenery through telescopes and took beautiful photos.

In the afternoon, they watched two movies. The audiovisual effects of the 4D cinema were stunning!

But after eating an equally unpeaceful lunch and dinner — where their food was even snatched by others — Su Yu started acting special again the next day.

The three of them have breakfast apart from the other children, ordering individually.

The teacher deliberately went upstairs to talk with them, learned that they have a large appetite and, after being unable to eat enough due to other children's interruptions, suggested in the group that the children's meals be settled separately.

The parents who saw Su Yu and the others' private payment bills all agreed.

The teacher had the bodyguards assist the children who needed protection to order individually, then post the pictures, eating videos, and bills in the group, tagging the respective parents!

As the teacher had expected, the bodyguards' phones rang. Later, when they returned to the room to change clothes and pack items needed for going out, several children lingered for a long time before emerging.

The children who emerged had reddened eyes, clearly having been reprimanded by their families.

The teachers all let out a sigh of relief.

The next day's journey was to take a bus to a countryside restaurant to see the vegetables and eat free‑range chicken.

After the teacher inspected each child's clothing and mosquito repellent, she arranged for them to ride the hotel's vehicle to the subway station.

"The journey is a bit far, so we'll take the subway first. You must stay obediently with the adult beside you and not leave on your own, okay?"

"Got it!"

The ten children answered obediently, following the teacher to learn how to buy tickets and ride the subway.

The little radish heads, once again dressed in uniform, attracted a lot of attention. Among the ten, there was one especially short and strikingly familiar little radish head; netizens curiously snapped photos of them and posted them online to ask.

Su Yu watched the adult filming and inwardly muttered about Wulongcha, "Being famous is a drawback; there's not a bit of privacy!"

Su Yu wanted to tell them that she does have privacy and that they shouldn't take photos or videos without her permission. Yet, being half a public figure, saying that feels strange and could easily draw criticism.

After confirming it online, the netizens looked at Su Yu excitedly.

"It's Su Yu!"

When Su Yu heard the older sister's scream, she calmly waved under the protection of the bodyguard team and, in a baby‑like voice, greeted, "Hello!"

Her voice was sweet, her smile soft, and then at the next stop the crowd surged! In the subsequent stations, the crowd also began to increase!

The subway authorities, upon learning the situation, urgently dispatched staff to Su Yu and the others' carriage, asking them to change to a different mode of transport.

The teachers, frightened by the swelling crowd, agreed with the officials' suggestion, waited inside the subway station for their dedicated bus, and rode the bus to the destination.

On the bus, a child couldn't help but come up to Su Yu and ask, "Are you famous?"

"Not really famous."

"But those uncles and aunties all know you!"

"They don't know me; they asked other uncles and aunties!"

"Is that so?"

"Mm-hmm!"

"I thought you were impressive!"

"I'm not impressive! The adults are!"

The child who had come up instantly lost interest in playing with Su Yu and returned to his own seat.

Liang Yan and Tang Can tilted their heads toward Su Yu, scribbling on the notebook with a "swish swish" sound.

Thanks to the babies for the votes~

Thanks to Baby Jun Yaoxi for the monthly ticket~

Guangdong has both white and black liangfen; I don't know if babies from other regions know about liangfen. I went online to look it up and found an introduction. The usual method here is to prepare it, cut it, chill it in the refrigerator, then take it out, add white sugar, and eat—it's icy and refreshing, and the taste isn't bad.

Four thousand characters; these past few days have mostly been about writing Su Yu's research‑travel journey. Babies who don't like it can skip it~

Good night, babies~
