They were all very happy to hear this, because the storm was about to pass.

When Gu Lingxiao returned to his dormitory, he saw his son doing his homework at the table. The little guy's handwriting was getting better and better.

"Dad, look at my handwriting, is it good? Will Mom like it?" Gu Huailin asked, tilting his little head. He wanted praise; he missed his mother so much!

Gu Lingxiao felt that since the person would be back soon, he should talk to his son about it.

"Xiao Linzi, Mom will be back tomorrow!"

"Really?" Gu Huailin put down his pen. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Gu Lingxiao: "Would I lie to you? You little rascal, when have I ever lied to you?"

Gu Huailin jumped up and clapped his hands with joy at the thought of his mother coming back, "Great! My mom is coming back! I can go home now!"

"Why aren't you happy staying at Daddy's?" Gu Lingxiao picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of water, and saw the child sitting on the opposite bed, his excitement beyond words.

It was like finding money; he looked just like a fallen comrade-in-arms, and he had a particularly good personality.

Gu Huailin: "No! I'm very happy living here, but I miss my mom more!"

Gu Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, "Your mother didn't come back alone."

"Has she found her sister?" Gu Huailin asked.

"You knew it was the older sister?" Gu Lingxiao really didn't know how much of an age difference there was between the two children.

"Mom told me it's my older sister." Gu Huailin felt uneasy, then looked up at his father's expression.

"You and Mom will get married, right?"

"What are you saying, child? Of course we'll get married!" Gu Lingxiao felt that his son was precocious and mature beyond his years.

"It would be great if we could get married. Don't worry, I won't fight with my sister for Mom! I'll go back and be a good boy."

Gu Huailin had made up his mind. He would never let go of the warmth he had finally found. He wanted his parents and sister to be together forever.

Gu Lingxiao sat down next to his son. "Actually, it's not just your sister, there are several other children. They were all adopted by an old man. Now your mother will bring them all back."

Gu Huailin was astonished upon hearing this, "A lot?"

She started counting on her fingers, thinking, "So, does that mean I won't get much love from Mom anymore?"

Gu Lingxiao said, "Silly child, we will treat everyone equally. We're just telling you in advance so you can be mentally prepared. You'll be surrounded by brothers and sisters from now on."

Gu Huailin stood up and declared, "I will definitely welcome them warmly, try my best to infiltrate their ranks, and become one of them!"

Gu Lingxiao reached out and touched his son's head, then pressed him down on the bed and tickled him. The child laughed happily.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Lingxiao arrived at the door, opened it, and saw that Ma Chao had come to deliver the food. He took the lunchbox and placed it on the table.

Ma Chao didn't leave but went inside, closing the door behind him.

"Old Gu, tell me the truth, has your wife come back?"

"Yes, I'll arrive the day after tomorrow."

Gu Lingxiao placed the lunchbox on the table and opened it. He didn't comment on the food in the cafeteria; he really missed Lu Zhixia's cooking.

Gu Huailin said proudly to Ma Chao, "Uncle, I'll be able to eat my mom's cooking in a couple of days. My mom's cooking is so delicious, I can eat two big bowls at a time!"

Ma Chao smiled happily, "I knew you were in such a good mood today. You let them go. Okay, I understand. I'll be going now!"

He turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Gu Lingxiao handed his son chopsticks, "Eat!"

Gu Huailin took a bite of the egg and said, "If Mom made this dish, it would definitely taste even better."

Gu Lingxiao said, "If there's anything raw, we'll eat it. The person definitely won't be back tomorrow. Come back with me the day after tomorrow and let's see what's going on. I'm not trying to discourage you, but the first thing we need to figure out is where to stay."

Gu Huailin suddenly felt that the egg in his mouth tasted even less. If there wasn't enough room to stay, wouldn't he be unable to go back?

"Dad, it can't be like that, can it?"

"It depends. If you have a place to stay, we'll send you back. If you don't, you can stay here for now. Anyway, you'll be able to go back to your place soon."

Gu Huailin's eggplant, which had been whipped by frost, instantly lost its vitality.

"Alright then! I won't argue or fight, I'll follow your arrangements!"

Gu Lingxiao said, "Don't be like this. Your mother's house is almost finished with the renovations. Maybe she can move in right away."

Upon hearing that they were moving to a bigger house, Gu Huailin perked up again and started eating with chopsticks.

Gu Lingxiao watched with doting eyes. The child had such a good personality; his emotions came and went so easily. He couldn't help but look at the scenery outside. The fallen leaves on the trees were long gone, the weather was getting colder, and winter would be here soon!
