Chapter 7 Reunion

Huang Fei was also awakened by the sounds of commotion, but after a night of rest, all fatigue had dissipated. He stretched lazily, welcoming a new day. Today's tasks were quite heavy; that woman was coming back. What would the outcome be?

"Sister, you are back," Yu Ruoqi's laughter also came from inside the house, and then it flew over like a happy little butterfly

"I won't tell you now, just go back to your room, and you'll know right away, hehe," Yu Ruoqi said, pretending to be mysterious.

"There is nothing going on! It's just that sitting beside my parents like this makes me feel very happy," Yu Ruoqi said with a smile, glancing at Huang Fei, resembling a blooming pear blossom, so pure that it evokes a deep desire to cherish her.

Faced with the love of my parents and the genuine feelings of my friends, I find myself unable to confront everyone. I fear that one day, when everyone learns about what has happened to me, what kind of situation will that be? Will I still have the courage to continue?

"Thank you today, I am very happy!" Yu Ruoqi said with a smile to Huang Fei

Looking at the smiling faces of her family, warm and happy, Yu Ruoling secretly made a resolution to live well with her family from now on. Home is everything to her; she may not have love, but she still possesses familial affection. For the happiness of her family, she will start a new life from today. Yu Ruoling smiled contentedly as the family embraced and walked into the house

"This ... ... is not a problem, it is our little secret," Huang Fei said with a smile

"One never tires of listening! Being awakened every day by such a melodious voice is indeed a wonderful way to live," thought Huang Fei with great satisfaction. With a smile, he opened the door and went downstairs for breakfast.

Uncle, Aunt, I have something I would like to discuss with everyone. When Ah Ling returns tomorrow, please do not tell her that I came by. I want to give her a surprise tomorrow

Dad!" Yu Ruoling said with a smile as she wiped her tears

Indeed, a good horse deserves a good saddle. This is not a white horse; it is a very handsome black horse! Huang Fei said with a satisfied smile as he looked at himself in the mirror

"Xiao Fei, come sit over here. I have already prepared the room, and soon Qi Qi will take you there. Just treat it like your own home, and don't be so formal," said Ling's mother to Huang Fei. Huang Fei stepped forward and sat down beside her.

"Alright, we will do as you say. You young people just love to engage in these peculiar activities," replied Ling's father.

After adjusting her emotions, Yu Ruoling rang the doorbell. Moments later, a woman opened the door. Upon seeing this familiar and kind face, Yu Ruoling could no longer control her emotions

"Mom, I'm fine, I just miss you too much," Yu Ruoling said with a smile. After the earlier outburst, her mood improved significantly. To avoid worrying her family, she felt it necessary to face everyone with a calm smile.

Looking at the long-lost home, every blade of grass and every tree here feels familiar to Yu Ruoling. She suddenly feels a surge of emotions; it has been many years since she left for that gambling man. Standing in front of the gate, Yu Ruoling remains there in a daze for a long time, ... a long time ...

"No matter what sadness you have, do not indulge yourself; this is not a reason to give up on yourself." The man's voice suddenly echoed in her ears, and Yu Ruoling gave a bitter smile

Mom... I won't get married, I will always take good care of you both.

"Silly child, if you miss your mother, come back often to see me. Why are you crying!" Ling's mother said, her eyes also filled with tears

The two elders were idly sitting in the living room watching television. Yu Ruoqi ran over with a smile, sat down in the middle of the two elders, held their hands affectionately, and called out, "Dad, Mom." Then she laughed foolishly, glanced at Huang Fei, and dared not look again, truly a shy girl

Holding her flesh-and-blood mother, all the pain and discomfort that Yu Ruoling had endured for so long surged forth like a dam that had burst. Human negative emotions require occasional release; if they accumulate for too long, they can easily lead to a breakdown and result in mental instability. The so-called explosion does not occur in silence, but rather death in silence

"Good, good, obedient daughter, don't get married. From now on, you will take care of me, hehe," said Ling's mother with a face full of happiness. Suddenly, she noticed Huang Fei standing foolishly across from her with a smile.

No matter where you are or what injuries you have suffered, home will always be your best refuge, and family will always be your strongest support

Ma... ..." Yu Ruoling ran over and embraced her mother, weeping bitterly.

Oh," Yu Ruoqi said in a low voice, lowering her head. She then stood up and left without calling Huang Fei, walking ahead by herself. Huang Fei smiled helplessly and followed her.

"Brother-in-law..." Yu Ruoqi suddenly shouted

Indeed, mother feels very fortunate to have such a well-behaved child like you. However, sooner or later, you will have to get married!" Mother Ling said affectionately as she stroked Qiqi's head.

Good night! Huang Fei said. Watching Yu Ruoqi leave while humming a tune, he couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart. He went inside, took a shower, washed away the fatigue of the day, and fell asleep with a smile, feeling that today was truly a rare happy day

As he returned home, listening to Yu Ruoqi's cheerful singing, the girl continued to smile shyly, unable to face herself. Huang Fei smiled helplessly.

I got up and freshened myself up, put on the new suit I bought yesterday, and felt like a completely different person. I looked in the mirror and smiled.

Indeed, I cannot give up on myself. Even if I have to live alone for a lifetime, I must live well. For the sake of my parents and my sister, I must live on with strength. After solidifying her thoughts, Yu Ruoling shook off her fatigue and pulled her suitcase in the direction of home

Yu Ruoling returned to her birthplace after a bumpy journey, back to this familiar homeland. However, as her feet touched the land she had played on countless times, her heart felt empty. Her entire body seemed to be drained of energy, light and powerless, and she could no longer find the solid feeling she once had.

***

"Sister, we are going to give you a surprise soon!" Yu Ruoqi said playfully, then couldn't help but laugh continuously. Thinking about the fact that the man was still hiding in her sister's room, she found it quite amusing.

Upon reaching the door of a room on the second floor, Yu Ruoqi stopped in her tracks and looked up at Huang Fei, saying, "Brother-in-law, this is the one."

"Sister, you should go quickly!" After saying this, Yu Ruoqi pushed Yu Ruoling towards her room

"I say, you women, after not seeing each other for a few years, you just cry and whine, it's really unreasonable." Ling's father’s voice came from inside the house. He also walked out.

After a long while, when Yuoling's cries gradually subsided, Ling's mother finally released her hands, holding her daughter's hands and looking at her face with sorrow as she said: "Lingzi, you have become quite haggard! It must have been very hard for you outside!"

Brother-in-law, come out for breakfast, sister has called back and will arrive shortly. " The clear and ethereal voice of the girl called out from outside

"Well, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Let's go, come inside, don't just stand foolishly at the door," said Ling's father as he went to help carry the suitcase.

Alright, good night, brother-in-law, see you tomorrow! The girl finally smiled brightly again, returning to her lively and energetic self

"You silly child, why are you laughing so happily? Have you encountered some good fortune?" Ling's mother said with a loving smile as she patted Yu Ruoqi's hand, while Ling's father also smiled affectionately as he patted her hand.

Oh, is that so? Is there something in my room?" Yu Ruoling guessed with a smile

"Thank you, Qiqi," Huang Fei said as he turned the doorknob and prepared to enter the house

Is there anything else? Huang Fei asked

Knowing that my sister was coming back today, she even specially changed into a new outfit, a sky blue hooded jacket, underneath a white T-shirt, which had a cute cat printed on it. The cat's head was perfectly positioned on the slightly protruding area of her chest, evoking a sense of imagination. On the lower half, she wore grayish-white jeans and stepped into white sneakers, embodying youth and fashion.

"Ah, Lingzi, what has happened to you?" Upon seeing her eldest daughter return, Ling's mother embraced her and cried, asking in confusion. She gently reached out to pat her daughter's back in comfort.

"Qiqi, come let your sister take a look, the little girl has grown up and has become a light beauty!" Yu Ruoling said with a loving smile. This girl is the joy of the family, always well-behaved and obedient since she was little, and her family cherishes her dearly.

Oh, what surprise is Qiqi going to give me!" Yu Ruoling asked with a smile, looking at her innocent and lovely younger sister, her heart also filled with joy.

"Can you not tell my sister about what happened tonight?" Yu Ruoqi suddenly said very seriously

Upon arriving at her own door, Yu Ruoling was still puzzled about what had happened. As soon as she pushed the door open, a familiar male face appeared before her, like a dream. He was smiling at her, and she wondered if this was a dream. Why was he here? This was the man with whom she had her first intimate encounter, who had told her not to give up on herself, a man both familiar and strange.

The morning air is fresh, and the sunlight is bright; occasionally, one can hear the pleasant chirping of birds, which is truly unexpected in this place. The streets, having been silent throughout the night, gradually begin to come alive, as busy people start their new day's work, with various voices mingling together, creating a lively atmosphere

Dad, I'll do it myself!" Yu Ruoling hurriedly reached out to grab the suitcase

It is quite late, everyone should go to sleep. Qi Qi, please take Xiao Fei to the guest room!" said Ling's mother

I am also very happy. Huang Fei smiled in response, of course I am happy, such a beautiful girl kissed you, anyone would feel like laughing out loud three times!
