Sweet times always fly by. It was already past five o'clock when Han Yunqi picked up his already packed luggage and the two of them left the office.

After locking the door, Tang Xiaoxiao drove Han Yunqi to the train station. It takes more than three hours to drive from City A to City D, but only about an hour by high-speed rail. She didn't have much to say to him. She carried two large boxes of fruit and hazelnuts, as well as a small box of saffron as a New Year's gift for his parents. Han Yunqi wasn't as strong as her, and he couldn't carry too much. She told him to call to let her know he was safe after getting off the train, and to keep an eye on his belongings in the car before seeing him off.

Han Yunqi watched Tang Xiaoxiao leave the waiting hall before reluctantly turning around and entering the ticket gate, boarding the train with his large and small bags of luggage.

More than an hour later, he stood at the exit of D City Railway Station.

First, he called Tang Xiaoxiao to tell her that he had arrived safely and to reassure her, then he hailed a taxi and went home.

Han Yunqi's parents were unaware of his return. He had deliberately not informed them beforehand, hoping to surprise them. Sure enough, Guo Mingli was overjoyed to see her son suddenly enter the house, pulling him close and repeatedly saying, "You've lost weight and gotten tanned." Han Yunqi chuckled as his mother scrutinized him. In fact, although he had been constantly on the go these past few months, he had indeed gotten tanned because he ate ingredients from Tang Xiaoxiao's space every day (though he himself was unaware of it). He hadn't lost weight, on the contrary, because of his consistent exercise, he had become increasingly robust. However, this is probably a common trait among all parents: whenever their children are not by their side, they feel that they must be suffering greatly, not eating or dressing well.

Mr. Han was naturally happy to see his son, but being a man, he was more reserved. He simply patted his son on the shoulder and didn't say anything more.

The couple had already eaten dinner. Guo Mingli went to the kitchen and made a pot of chicken noodle soup for Han Yunqi, who slurped down a big bowl. Having gotten used to the food from the space over the past few months, he found this bowl of noodles quite hard to swallow. Guo Mingli's cooking skills weren't great to begin with, but it was his mother's good intention, so he forced himself to swallow it.

When Guo Mingli got up to give him another bowl, he refused, waving his hands repeatedly and saying that he was full. Only then did Guo Mingli give up.

The thought of having to eat these tasteless foods during the Spring Festival made Han Yunqi secretly groan.

It's true that it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance

Then he remembered the two large boxes of fruit Tang Xiaoxiao had asked him to bring back, and he felt a little comforted. He could just eat less for the next few days and eat more fruit to fill his stomach.

Tang Xiaoxiao's fruit hasn't been sold to D City yet. There's no way to buy it from other places except online shopping. Her parents don't know how to shop online. Han Yunqi got up like he was showing off a treasure, picked up the box he brought back, put it on the coffee table in the living room, and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, you should try it. This is good stuff."

The couple curiously peered over and opened two boxes. Inside, they found half a box of citrus fruits and half a box of apples, while the other box contained strawberries and grapes, all packed in delicate hard plastic boxes, which were not crushed.

The couple were naturally pleased that their son remembered them, but Guo Mingli couldn't help but say, "These things are sold right next to our house, why bother buying them from so far away? They're so heavy!"

Han Yunqi didn't explain, but simply took an orange, peeled it, broke off half and handed it to Guo Mingli: "You'll know once you try it."

The other half was placed in Han's father's hands.
