"Son-in-law."
"Hey, okay, hello everyone. Ah, Big Guy, looking even more handso, huh."
Always with a cheeky grin, a lazy deanor... always giving off an unkempt vibe. Yet, this is his most genuine side for the people around him.
'Thump...'
A little one rushed into Xiaofan's arms imdiately.
She still looked like she hadn't grown a bit taller. Still chubby and round.
Being held was especially heartwarming.
"You're finally back."
"Hmm, were you getting impatient?"
"Hmm~ not at all, as long as you're back."
"You've gained weight."
"No, I haven't."
"Co down first, okay? So many people are watching."
"No, I just want to hold you."
Ignoring everything else, she just wanted him, waiting solely for him.
Seeing the tender smiles on everyone's faces, Xiaofan gently put Ren Ling down.
Leng Yue was standing to the side, and at this mont, she finally let her worried heart rest.
"Senior Cyan Dragon. Are you doing well?"
"Good, good, you rascal..."
"Grandma... I'm back."
"Hmm."
Old Mrs. Ren sat to the side, and as Xiaofan walked over, she spoke softly.
"Go wash your hands, it's ti to eat."
"Okay."
Finally back ho, seeing everyone's familiar faces and warm smiles. This intense feeling of belonging slowly brought tears to Xiaofan's eyes.
And in the end, an elder stood straight at the back, quietly watching Xiaofan.
Touched at the softest point in his heart, Xiaofan finally t this intense gaze.
"Grandpa."
"You little brat."
How long has it been since "Grandpa" called that? Hearing it again brings true happiness.
At this mont, Xiaofan couldn't control his tears anymore, letting them flow. And on his face, he kept his initial smile. He deeply bowed to his grandpa.
"I'm back."
"Hmm, co here, lie down."
"What?"
"Co over."
"Oh."
Xiaofan obediently ca before his grandpa, then his grandpa forcefully pushed him down onto a table.
Pulling up his clothes, the bright red bandage appeared before everyone.
This wound... must have been from the explosion earlier.
"You all go in first and get ready to eat. I'll dress his wound and co back."
With Ye Aotian's words, everyone slowly walked into the building.
Without others present, Ye Aotian tore off the bandage, looking at the sowhat healed wound, then took out several small bottles from his pocket and sprinkled the powder on the wound.
"Huff... Ah, Grandpa, be gentle."
"Now you know pain. Why didn't you shout when you got blown up? Did you get all the stones out?"
"Yes, all out."
"Hmm, don't exert yourself too much; your wound's split open several tis already."
"Oh, I know."
"Did you call your dad?"
"Hmm, called him once when I was in M Country."
"Call again later, they've been worried you might be in trouble, even caught and jailed."
"Sigh..."
"Stay still, hold the bottle for , I'll put the dicine on."
"Why put this on?" Xiaofan asked puzzled.
"How long has it been since you bathed? You stink, and this patch is waterproof. Change it after you shower before bed."
"Oh."
"Get in there. Everyone's waiting."
"Hmm. Hey, Grandpa."
"What?"
"This... Cold Ice Willow Silk Needle, there are only eight left." Carefully handing over the needles to Ye Aotian.
"Just things, if lost, so be it. Wash your hands, eat."
"Hey, okay."
The Cold Ice Willow Silk Needle is extrely precious; out of one hundred and eight needles, only eight remain. That set of needles, Fan Lingtian had put great effort into finding them back then. But today, having his grandson return whole, that's enough.
At the dining table, everyone chatted happily.
Forget those annoying trivialities for now. Just eat and drink.
"Hey, sis, haven't broken up with Han yet?"
"Get lost! Grandpa, you see, Xiaofan's bullying right after coming back." Anyway, Ye Weiwei and Han Shengjun were practically inseparable now.
Of course, if that dumb guy could just frankly ask her to stay, Ye Weiwei wouldn't have to return to a lonely room at night.
"Speak nicely; she's your sister after all." Seeing his grandchildren grown up, Ye Aotian felt gratified.
"Oh, sis, if not breaking up, planning to get married?"
As soon as these words ca out, Ye Weiwei was speechless, her face flushed, and she glanced at Han Shengjun, who was foolishly grinning at her.
With words up to this point, you idiot, can't you proactively suggest it?
"Grandpa, look at him, there he goes again."
"Hahahahaha..."
Amid continuous laughter, just teasing whoever they could. Xiaofan's tongue was pretty sharp too.
"Ren Ying, you've got a girlfriend too, right? On such a nice day, why not bring her to et Grandma?" After teasing his elder sister, Xiaofan turned his attention to Ren Ying.
Actually, Ren Ying and Han weren't much different, both emotionless when it ca to feelings, always straightforward.
"Oh, really, Ren Ying, why haven't I heard?" Old Mrs. Ren chid in enthusiastically.
"Well... she, she... I'll, a-a few days later."
Why is this nervous heartbeat happening? Why this slightly heated feeling?
"Hahaha, look, Ren Ying is blushing, he's shy, look at him." Over here, Ren Ling noticed fastest, pointing and laughing at Ren Ying.
"Hey, Ying, what's there to be shy about? A man should marry, as long as you like her, grandma will accept. When you're free, bring her ho to et everyone."
"Yes, I know, Grandma."
"By the way, what's that girl's na again?" Old Mrs. Ren inquired further.
"I know, I know, her na is Huang Xueyi." Li San over there couldn't resist and imdiately replied.
"She's not even your girlfriend, why are you answering? Sit down." Ruyu stuffed a peeled shrimp into Li San's mouth.
This series of actions prompted another round of laughter from everyone.
"Ah, speaking of us, where's Chen i'Er? Oh, right, there's also Liu Siyan, and another Chen ngying. What? Planning to ditch them all?"
Ye Weiwei's words are in jest, but Xiaofan's smile froze briefly at the ntion of their nas.
"Hmm? Ca back in a hurry. Uh, sis, are they all okay?"
