"Come on," Ouyang Guang laughed, "You two cried the most during the last hotpot dinner, with snot and tears all over your face."
"This time it's different!" He Ziqi vowed, "I've already undergone special training!"
The mother suddenly stepped forward and held Ouyangguang's arm tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would die suddenly: "Remember to eat on time in Korea, go to restaurants outside to eat something delicious, don't always eat instant noodles and kimchi."
"I know, Mom," Ouyang Guang nodded, "I can take care of myself."
"Wear more clothes when the weather is cold, don't freeze yourself just for the sake of watching. Also, don't train too hard, and go to the hospital if you feel unwell, don't just bear it..." Her fingertips trembled as she stroked the wrinkles on the collar of his coat.
Ouyang Guang was frozen and didn't move, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and he waited for the warm hands to fall before he spoke: "Let's go."
Dad patted his shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be stubborn over there. Call me if you have any problem."
"Yeah." Ouyang Guang responded briefly, afraid that saying one more word would reveal his emotions.
Changxi's eyes were red, and he suddenly rushed over and hugged his waist tightly, without saying a word, just buried his face in his clothes.
"Hey," Ouyangguang gently stroked his sister's hair, "brother will be here soon."
Chang Kang was held in his father's arms, holding a bottle of milk in his hand. He cried and waved the bottle, and the milk made tiny ripples in the bottle: "Brother, don't go! I want to go with you!"
"Kang Kang, good boy," Ouyang Guang leaned over and kissed his brother's cheek, "Brother will bring you a dinosaur toy from Korea, okay?"
"Really?" Chang Kang asked with sobs.
"Of course, liars are dogs." Ouyang Guang stretched out his little finger, and Chang Kang immediately burst into laughter and made a pinky promise with him.
Changle bit her lip, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and silently stuffed the folded paper cranes into his palm, with "㱒安" written on their wings.
"Thank you, Lele," Ouyangguang carefully put the paper crane into his wallet, "Brother will always carry it with him."
Chang'an's eyes were red, but he forced a smile and said, "If you dare to lose the safety talisman I gave you, I'll beat you up when I get back!" Then he stuffed a pack of tissues into his hand and said, "Wipe your hands on the plane."
"I know, Miss." Ouyang Guang pinched her face.
The mother stuffed eight red envelopes into Ouyangguang's pocket and whispered: "Give the New Year red envelopes to Zhang Yixing and Jin Shengxian, and say thank you to them on your behalf. Please ask them to take care of you. Rely on your friends more when you are outside, and don't be too strong..."
"Yes, I will." Ouyangguang took the red envelope.
The security conveyor belt made a regular hum. Ouyang Guang nodded every few steps, watching his family gradually get smaller outside the glass door.
Chang Kang twisted his body and struggled in his father's arms, the milk bottle hitting the metal railing with a "dong dong" sound;
Changxi stood on tiptoe and waved desperately, his hair messed up by the air current in the hall; Changle buried his face in Changan's arms, while Changan, with red eyes, was still making the "挠油" gesture to him.
After the plane landed, Ouyang Guang dragged three heavy suitcases out of the terminal. The cold wind blew in his face, forming a sharp contrast with the heating in the cabin.
"Hikari! Over here!"
Zhang Yixing stood not far away and waved, with deep dimples visible under his black beard.
He walked over quickly and took the largest suitcase from Ouyang Guang's hand without saying a word.
"Why do you carry so many things?" Zhang Yixing weighed the bag and said in surprise.
Ouyang Guang smiled and said, "These are all specialties from home." He patted one of the boxes, "Inside are special Changsha specialties brought specially for you, and the chopped peppers pickled by my aunt He, which are absolutely delicious."
"Really? I haven't tasted authentic Hunan spicy food for a long time." Zhang Yixing's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his voice, "But you brought so much, didn't the customs check you?"
"My luggage was almost opened for inspection," Ouyang Guang made a face, "and I pretended to be pitiful and said that this was all my mother's love, so the customs officer relented and let me go."
Zhang Yixing took Ouyang Guang's shoulder and said, "Let's go to the dormitory first. Shengxian and the others know that you will come today, and they should be waiting after class now."
The taxi drove across the Han River Bridge, and the night view of Seoul flowed outside the window.
Ouyang Guang looked at the flashing neon lights in the distance, his thoughts still lingering on the scene when he left - Chang Kang waving the milk bottle, and Chang An with red eyes but forcing a smile.
He took out his cell phone. There were seven or eight text messages on the screen. One of them showed a message from Changan: "Have you arrived, brother? We all miss you."
"Is everyone in the family here?" Zhang Yixing's voice brought him back to reality.
Ouyang Guang nodded: "Yeah, it's just too lively, the four little guys are pestering me every day."
He took out the photo album on his phone and showed Zhang Yixing the photos taken during the Spring Festival - Chang Kang was lying on his back in dinosaur pajamas, Chang An was making faces at the camera, and Chang Xi and Chang Le were squeezed in the middle and making the scissors hand gesture.
Zhang Yixing smiled and said, "So cute! I wonder when I can meet them!"
"There will definitely be a chance!" Ouyang Guang also smiled, "But when I left, these little guys cried so hard."
He paused and lowered his voice, "Kang Kang couldn't even speak a complete sentence, but he just hugged my legs and kept shouting 'brother' and wouldn't leave."
Zhang Yixing patted his shoulder and said, "It's inevitable to miss home. When I first came to Korea, I would hide in bed every night thinking about the dishes my mother cooked."
"Really?" Ouyang Guang was a little surprised, "I can't tell, Brother Yixing."
When they arrived at the dormitory, Kim Seung-hyun, Kim Jun-myeon and Oh Eun-hoon were sitting around the coffee table. They looked up at the same time when they heard the door open.
"Hey, our little Guang is here!" Jin Shengxian was the first to jump up, rushed to the door in two steps, and hugged Ouyang Guang, "I missed you so much!"
Ouyang Guang was knocked back half a step, and smiled and said, "I've only been walking for two weeks."
"Two weeks is a long time, isn't it?" Kim Seung-hyun let go of him and looked him up and down. "Why do I feel like you've gained weight? The food at home is pretty good."
"My family cooks different kinds of food every day," Ouyang Guang touched the back of his head uncomfortably, "and they insist that I've lost weight and keep putting food in my bowl."
Kim Junmyeon came over and smiled gently, "Come on over. Are you hungry? We cooked ramen."
Ouyangguang shook his head and bent down to open the suitcase: "Don't worry, my mother asked me to bring you some New Year red envelopes." He took out a few red envelopes from the inner pocket and handed them to the three people in turn.
Kim Seung-hyun took the red envelope and widened his eyes exaggeratedly: "Wow, there is also New Year's money! Thank auntie for me!"
"And these," Ouyang Guang continued to take things out of the box, "Chicken biscuits from Guangzhou, dried oysters from Shajing, Shenzhen, Dongjiang fish from Chenzhou..." Soon, the coffee table was piled with all kinds of specialties.
Wu Xun picked up a bag of spicy noodles and looked through it curiously: "What is this? It smells delicious."
"This is the favorite snack of Chinese students," Ouyang Guang helped him unpack it, "Try it, but it's a little spicy."
Wu Yuxun took a bite and his eyes lit up immediately: "It's delicious! But... it's a little spicy!"
"Water! Give him water!" Kim Seung-hyun quickly handed over the cup, patting Wu Yuxun on the back and laughing, "Look, your face is red!"
Kim Seung-hyun couldn't wait to open a pack of salted duck, and while eating, he said vaguely: "Yangguang, you came here like Santa Claus this time, bringing so many things."
Ouyang Guang smiled as he watched them share the food, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I've prepared some for the others as well, and I'll give them to them at the company tomorrow."
It was late at night, and after eating, drinking and playing for a while, they decided to go home.
After helping to move Ouyang Guang's luggage into the room, Zhang Yixing said before leaving: "Xiaoguang, go to bed early. Sister Minzhi told you to report to her first when you go to the company tomorrow."
Ouyang Guang agreed and tidied up the things in the room. He hung the peace-keeping talisman given by Chang'an on the head of the bed, placed the glass bottle of Sterculia lychnophora and Snow Pear Paste on the desk, and placed the star jar and paper cranes folded by Changle next to it.
