On their way back, they happened to run into Song Zhe, who was driving home.

Song Zhe spotted Su Tian from afar and sped up to catch up. After parking his car on the side of the road, Song Zhe happily shouted, "Su Su!"

Then, he got off the car, and Gu Bai slowed down his bicycle.

Su Tian got out of the car and happily walked up to Song Zhe. "Zhe, you're back?"

"Yes, I'm back." Then he walked up to Gu Bai, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Gu Bai, how have you been lately? Are you settling in well at the factory?"

"Brother Song, I'm doing well."

Su Tian looked at Song Zhe and Gu Bai; they were about the same size and had similar appearances.

However, Song Zhe is more composed, calm, and sunny, like an older brother.

Gu Bai is reserved and shy, like his younger brother.

"Gu Bai, please take the first-aid kit back to the rest room for me. A Zhe and I will head back now."

"good."

After Su Tian and Song Zhe left, Gu Bai stood there for a long time.

In the end, he was still all alone. After his family was sent to the countryside, he joined the army, hoping that one day he could make something of himself and rescue his family.

Who knew that when I went to visit them in the place where they had been sent down, all of my family members had fallen ill and died.

He was injured while on a mission due to distraction and had to be discharged. Song Zhe came to his door and gave him hope again.

But now he sees Su Tian and Song Zhe leaving together, leaving him all alone outside.

He also hopes to have a home and to build a family with the person he loves.

Gu Bai hung the first-aid kit on the front of the vehicle, pushed it for a while, and then quickly rode away.

"Ah Zhe, you're back. Where's Lu Yu?"

"I took him home first, that's why I ran into you on the way." Song Zhe smiled and looked at Su Tian beside him.

"I have a question for you. I feel that Gu Baihua is very quiet and reserved, and it's like he lives in his own world."

After hesitating for a moment, Song Zhe said, "As far as I know, it's because his family was implicated by that event back then."

During the process of being sent to the countryside, my family members all passed away due to overwork and poor health.

His parents were teachers, and his grandparents were professors, which is why he became like this after they passed away.

After listening, Su Tian remained silent for a long time. Seeing this, Song Zhe quickly comforted her, "Su Su, don't think too much. Let's go to the compound."

"Okay, let's go visit the elderly and children in the compound."

At Lu Yu's house, Lu Yu was sitting with his legs crossed, drinking soda, watching his mother chatter on and on.

"Son, you're almost thirty. When are you going to get married?"

"Mom, I want to help you take care of the kids. I'm so lonely and empty."

After Lu's mother finished speaking, she wiped away non-existent tears with her sleeve.

Lu Yu drank his soda while trying to hold back his laughter, afraid that if he couldn't suppress it, he would get a beating from his mother.

After wiping for a while, Lu's mother found that Lu Yu had no reaction at all.

"Hey, how can you be so heartless? Can't you see your old mother crying so sadly?"

Instead of offering some comfort, you're completely unmoved? Have you grown too big for your britches?

Lu Yu replied jokingly, "Oh dear, let me see, where is my dear old mother crying? How badly is she crying? I've looked left and right, but I haven't heard any crying."

Mother Lu jumped up in a fit of rage, "You insulted me? I'll beat you to death!"

She took a feather duster and tried to hit Lu Yu, but Lu Yu quickly caught it.

"Mother, calm down. The wife I want to marry must be as beautiful as an angel. I won't look at anyone who is a little ugly or uglier than me."

"You look like a toad, how dare you make such an outrageous request?"

"Mom, I'm like a toad, so what are you like? You love holding your grandchildren so much, haven't you held the Song family's grandchildren many times?"

They're my godson and goddaughter. If you want to hold them, then go visit them often and play with them.

Without thinking, Lu's mother said, "But it's not good for me to go there often. It's better to see your child every day."

"Mom, let me be honest with you, I like men. Don't think about these things anymore."

Upon hearing this, Lu's mother stared at him wide-eyed. She quickly pulled Lu Yu back to the room and whispered, "Really?"

"Yes, it's very real."

"What should we do? Will your dad beat you if he finds out? You like men, oh my god."

"Mom, why aren't you dizzy after hearing this?" Lu Yu asked her curiously.

"Why would I be dizzy? What's there to be dizzy about? You shouldn't get married in the future."

When I miss my children, I'll go visit your godson and goddaughter.

"You can get out now. It's infuriating! You don't appreciate a beautiful woman like her, but you prefer men?"

Lu Yu covered his mouth and laughed. He immediately went out and rode his bicycle to the compound.

"What are you angry about? Why are you standing at the door with a broom?" Mr. Lu looked at Mrs. Lu strangely after coming downstairs.

"Oh, sweeping the floor." Mrs. Lu pretended to sweep a few times and then threw the broom aside.

"Where's your son? I think I heard his voice. Has he come back?"

Lu's mother glanced at him and said quietly, "He didn't come back. What would he do if he came back? He didn't bring his wife back."

Mr. Lu replied understandingly, "If he doesn't want to take her, he doesn't have to. The department he's in now is so busy, he leaves early and comes home late, he can't even think about getting married."

"Old Lu, let me ask you something. If a man likes another man, how would you view that?"

Mr. Lu looked at her with suspicion, "A man likes another man? Is it romantic love?"

"Yes, that's it." Mother Lu stared at him with wide eyes, not blinking.

After a moment of contemplation, Mr. Lu slowly said, "This sounds a bit absurd. Society isn't so forgiving these days. If he chooses this path, he'll probably suffer a lot."

Mother Lu sighed softly, "That's true, I just hope he knows what he's doing."

Lu Yu was unaware that his parents were already worried about his future.

When he arrived at the Song family's house, Da Bao and Xiao Bao were playing at the door.

"Godfather, you're here!" As soon as Xiao Bao saw Lu Yu, he rushed over.

"Godfather." Da Bao walked up to Lu Yu and called out to him in a mature manner.

"Oh, my sweet babies, godfather misses you so much! Do you miss your godfather?"

"Yes, I really, really want to." Xiao Bao's adorable appearance made Lu Yu laugh.

"Haha, godfather will carry you on an airplane ride, and we'll fly around a few times." With that, he scooped up the little one and put him on his shoulders, spinning him around and around.

Da Bao looked a little envious, but she was a girl, and her godfather couldn't take her flying like that.

Song Zhe came out and noticed that Da Bao's eyes were fixed on Lu Yu's direction.

Then, he squatted down and asked gently, "Dabao, would you like to ride an airplane like your little brother?"
