Gu Yanci gripped Chu Xingyue's hand in return. He had never been this nervous, even amidst the gunfire and rain of the forest. Now, holding Chu Xingyue's hand, his palms were sweaty.

Chu Xingyue patted Gu Yanci's arm. "Don't be nervous, I'm here for you."

This feels a little strange.

The lights were on inside the villa. When Chu Xingyue pushed the door open, Chu Qian and Su Jin were watching Peking Opera on the opera channel, and Chu Qian was occasionally singing along.

Hearing the noise outside the door, the two of them came back to their senses.

"An'an?" "Grandma's sweet baby is back."

The elderly couple hadn't seen their granddaughter for half a year, except for the occasional phone call. They quickened their pace as they walked towards Chu Xingyue.

Chu Xingyue was afraid that her grandmother would fall if she walked too fast, so she let go of Gu Yanci's hand and quickly stepped forward to hug the old lady's small body.

"Grandpa, I'm back." Looking at her grandfather following behind, Chu Xingyue called out softly to Chu Qian.

Chu Qian just saw that the young man who had visited his home that afternoon had come again, and had even held his grandson's hand when he came in.

"Ahem! Grandma, Grandpa, let me introduce you."

"This is Gu Yanci, my boyfriend." These simple words left the two elderly people a little stunned.

"Grandma and Grandpa, hello! I am Gu Yanci."

"I apologize for the intrusion and disturbance."

As Gu Yanci spoke, he bowed deeply to the two elderly people.

Su Jin liked the young man Gu, whom she had just met that afternoon; he was polite and good-looking.

“You silly child, come and sit over here with your grandma.”

As she spoke, she pulled Gu Yanci toward the sofa. Chu Jiaojiao and Xia Yiyang, who came in behind her, were like invisible people. What was going on? Didn't her grandparents see her come back?

Seeing Gu Yanci's arm being held by his grandmother, Chu Jiaojiao's lips curled up in a smile.

"What's going on? They took my An'an, and now they're trying to take my grandma too?"

Chu Jiaojiao had just finished muttering when she was hit on the head with a peanut.

"What are you two whispering about? We haven't seen you for so many days, where have you been?"

Although Chu Qian wasn't a strict parent, the older generation was still worried about the dangers their daughter might face if she stayed out for several days without coming home, even though she would call home every time. Chu Qian was also quite capable in combat.

"Grandpa, Jiaojiao and Xiaoyang have been with me lately, please don't scold them."

Chu Xingyue didn't forget her younger siblings who were following behind her.

"Xiao Gu, how's everything at home?"

"Everything is fine. My father is old, but he is in good spirits. Everyone else in the family is also doing well."

"Okay, okay, okay. At our age, good health is the foundation of everything. Our children are all working outside, and the biggest help we can give them is to take good care of ourselves at home and try not to cause them any trouble."

Su Jin is now very open-minded. Children always have to go out and soar, and as long as they are still here, they will always come back.

“Our An’an is good at everything except cooking. In the future, we’ll have to be more tolerant of her.”

“Grandma, An’an doesn’t need to go into the kitchen. I’ll take care of everything. No woman in the Chu family goes into the kitchen. The Chu family’s kitchen is a forbidden place for women and a paradise for men. An’an just needs to be herself and do what she likes to do. I’ll take care of everything else. You two can rest assured about my family. Everyone in my family is very kind. We don’t usually live together. When we’re busy, we might not see each other for years.”

"What? Is your family this busy?" Su Jin was a little surprised. What kind of job is this? You can't see your family for years. It must be really hard.

This child doesn't seem to see his family very often.

The old lady's face showed a look of heartache.

"From now on, come home with An'an. There are many people in our Chu family, it'll be lively."

Although Chu Qian was a little unhappy, he couldn't show it on his face because An An had brought back her boyfriend. Now that he knew the boy didn't have any family connections, he felt sorry for him.

Gu Yanci had no idea that his words had led the elderly couple to misunderstand him as a pitiful person who hadn't seen his family for years, even during the Lunar New Year.

Chu Xingyue and her two siblings listened quietly to Gu Yanci chatting with her grandparents without interrupting. Seeing the old lady and the old man's distressed expressions towards Gu Yanci, the three of them couldn't help but laugh. If Gu Yanci was a pitiful person, then there probably wouldn't be any happy people in the world.

Chu Qian chatted with Su Jin and Gu Yanci all night and felt that this kid was good. He spoke eloquently and had a good sense of humor. Although he was chatting with them, his eyes kept glancing at Chu Xingyue, which showed that it wasn't just his own child who was enthusiastic. It seemed that this kid preferred them to be more at ease.

The group chatted until very late, almost past the elderly couple's bedtime. Chu Xingyue saw that they were still chatting enthusiastically, so she didn't disturb them. What's wrong with chatting a little longer if they get along well?

Finally, Gu Yanci noticed that the two elderly people's eyes were tired, so he tactfully suggested that they talk again tomorrow. Su Jin looked at the time and was surprised that so much time had passed, so she urged Gu Yanci not to go back.

Chu Qian also told Gu Yanci not to go back, but to go upstairs and sleep in the same room as Xia Yiyang, since there were spare clothes and toiletries for guests.

Seeing that the two elderly people were worried about him driving back alone, Gu Yanci didn't want to refuse their kindness.

It was getting late, so Xia Yiyang took Gu Yanci to his room. Chu Jiaojiao cunningly asked her sister to sleep with her that night.

Chu Xingyue knew what wicked idea Chu Jiaojiao was thinking, but she didn't expose her. Without much thought, she agreed directly.

Gu Yanci thought he wouldn't be able to sleep in an unfamiliar place, but he fell asleep almost immediately after lying in bed. He didn't know if he knew that Chu Xingyue was next door, but Gu Yanci slept well that night.

When Chu Xingyue opened the door, she saw Gu Yanci gently closing it.

"Good morning!"

As soon as Gu Yanci woke up, he saw Chu Xingyue and immediately smiled.

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer? It's not even dawn yet."

"I'm used to it, my biological clock has been set, and I'll wake up when the time comes."

"How's your leg?" Chu Xingyue glanced at Gu Yanci's injured leg.

"It shouldn't be a problem for me to demonstrate with you."

Gu Yanci kicked her legs at the air twice.

"Let's go, I haven't fought you yet."

Chu Xingyue immediately became interested.

Chu Xingyue, who was leading the way, did not notice the amused smile on Gu Yanci's lips behind her.

The two warmed up in the gym downstairs and soon began to fight.

Chu Xingyue felt increasingly strange as the fight progressed; Gu Yanci's skills were by no means inferior, and could even be described as superb.
