Time flies like a white horse.

After a long period of living in hiding, Ye Guojin finally set foot on his hometown.

The osmanthus tree at the entrance of the alley has grown much taller.

Various slogans were written in red on the blue brick wall.

The children who used to play in the open space at the alley entrance have grown up now.

There were still unfamiliar children playing in the open space at the entrance of the alley. When they saw a strange face like Ye Guojin, they did not pay more attention to Ye Guojin.

Ye Guojin carried an LV travel bag and walked towards her home with her long legs.

The courtyard gate was half-open.

The yard was silent.

Ye Guojin reached out and pushed open the gate, and the wooden gate creaked.

In the birdcage hanging in the corridor, the pigeons flapped their wings, as if welcoming his return.

Ye Guojin's left leg had just stepped over the threshold of the courtyard gate when a wolfhound tied not far from the gate began to struggle with the iron chain and barked non-stop.

The lotus flowers in the stone water tank in the yard are already withered.

There are several pots of chrysanthemums placed around the water tank, and the flowers have different colors and shapes.

In the house, Grandpa Ye, who was fiddling with diapers, heard the dog barking, put down the rags in his hand, and walked to the door.

As soon as he saw Ye Guojin in the yard, he froze in place, his face filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Ignoring the barking of the wolfhound, Ye Guojin strode up to Grandpa Ye and knelt down with a thud.

Grandpa Ye stretched out his trembling hand and gently stroked Ye Guojin's face, as if to confirm whether this was a dream.

"Are you Guo Jin? The living Guo Jin?"

Ye Guojin said sadly: "Grandpa, it's me!"

Inside the room, Grandma Ye raised her voice and asked, "Old man, who is that?"

"Old lady, our eldest grandson Guojin is back!!"

Grandma Ye didn't care about anything else. She walked to Ye Guojin in a hurried manner, hugged Ye Guojin tightly, and patted Ye Guojin's body with her hands.

"You, you!"

Thousands of words, but never spoken.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

In the yard, the wolfhound was still barking.

Grandpa Ye scolded lightly: "Old Huang, stop yelling! This is my eldest grandson!"

The wolfdog Lao Huang seemed to have heard what Grandpa Ye said. He stopped barking and looked at Ye Guojin vigilantly. Only after he was sure that Ye Guojin would not hurt his master did he return to his doghouse, lying there lazily, looking at his master who was hugging each other and crying from a distance.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back."

Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye pulled Ye Guojin up from both sides.

They both said at the same time: "Get up, don't kneel."

Ye Guojin faked his death while carrying out a mission, but later revealed his identity when he reunited with the Ye family in Zijing City.

But unlike Ye Linlang who occasionally received news, there has been no news from Ye Guojin in the past few years.

Although the Huo family and Tong Jiaojiao are in Zijing City, it should be easy to find out about Ye Guojin's situation.

It’s just that… the nature of Ye Guojin’s job is inherently dangerous.

It can be said that we are surviving on the edge of a knife every day.

In order not to add too much danger to Ye Guojin, they all tacitly agreed not to ask about Ye Guojin's news.

For the Ye family, who are always worried about Ye Guojin's safety, no news is the best news.
