When they arrived home, it was already 10 p.m., a time when they should have turned off the lights and gone to bed. The old house was brightly lit, as bright as day.
Many people gathered in the hall, all eagerly waiting.
Since Fu Huaijin was injured three years ago, he has been sent to another place to recuperate and has not returned for a long time.
His whereabouts have been kept under wraps, and the old lady doesn't allow her family to investigate.
So they waited, and three years passed.
The next news came from the other side that he had recovered and would be back tonight.
Deep down, most people probably didn't believe it, since at that time, curing that condition would have required a miracle.
When the sound of a car pulling up came from the main entrance, the entire hall fell silent instantly, and everyone stood up and looked towards the entrance.
"Are you back?"
The old lady couldn't wait any longer. She stood up from the sofa and hurried outside.
As soon as the car stopped, Fu Huaijin got out, walked around to the other side, opened the door, and said in a low voice, "Give me the child."
Little Zhiyi nestled in her mother's warm embrace. This little guy had been climbing up and down the plane nonstop, and he fell asleep as soon as he got off the plane, exhausted.
Su Yuxi glanced down at the little girl. Her eyes were tightly closed, her pink lips were slightly open, and her little hands were clutching a strand of her hair. If she tried to pry her hands off, she would definitely wake her up.
"Never mind, I'll just carry her." The little girl isn't heavy.
Fu Huaijin looked at his sleeping daughter, didn't try to persuade her anymore, and carefully helped her out of the car.
The crowd at the door stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded as they looked at the family of three standing in front of the car.
It turns out that not only Fu Huaijin came back tonight, but Su Yuxi, who had disappeared for three years, also returned.
Three years later, Fu Huaijin and Su Yuxi seemed to have changed, but upon closer inspection, everything seemed to remain the same.
A gentle night breeze blew by, and moonlight peeked through the thick clouds, causing the two people's hair—one black and one silver—to intertwine in the wind.
The moonlight shone on them, making them seem as if they were shrouded in a faint glow. A sense of nobility and aloofness surrounded them, quietly outlining a beautiful and warm scene. People who saw it even became careful when they breathed, for fear of disturbing this pristine beauty.
"Xiao Jin, you're finally back! It's so good to be back!" the old lady exclaimed excitedly, and the others snapped out of their reverie.
"Big brother..."
"Nephew..."
"Cousin..." Countless shouts were welcoming them back.
But the noisy atmosphere made the little Zhiyi in my arms hum in dissatisfaction.
Fu Huaijin quickly put his hand to his lips, signaling them to stop arguing. He had only told the old lady he was coming back, but now everyone was waiting here.
"I'll take you to rest first."
Su Yuxi raised her eyes and glanced at the unfamiliar faces in front of the gate. There were men and women, young and old. She had no impression of any of these people. The familiarity and enthusiasm with her were genuine.
But now, after the exhaustion from the last rescue, she is completely worn out and needs to rest.
"good."
She nodded to everyone as a greeting, then turned and followed Fu Huaijin to the villa across the street.
A group of people stood at the door looking at each other, but considering that they had just returned from a long flight and that the baby in their arms was asleep, it was only natural for them to go and rest first.
The old lady gently wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes. She didn't blame them. After watching them enter the villa across the street, she led the group back.
Before long, Fu Huaijin entered the hall alone.
His face was calm and his steps were steady and composed as he walked straight to the old lady sitting on the sofa: "Grandma..."
"Hey..." Hearing her grandson's familiar voice, the old lady suddenly stood up, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. Her trembling hands tightly gripped Fu Huaijin's arm, and she choked out, "You've suffered all these years."
Three years ago, his grandson suffered a severe injury, and it was thought that his life was ruined. Fortunately, God took pity on him and he recovered his health. His granddaughter-in-law also came back, which made for a happy ending.
Fu Huaijin shook his head: "No."
All of this was a choice he made willingly. For those three years, he truly lived like a walking corpse. But now, the bitterness has finally turned into sweetness, and the clouds have parted to reveal the moon!
He has regained everything he lost, and he has no regrets or resentment. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice.
The old lady carefully examined the child and, confirming there was nothing wrong, breathed a sigh of relief: "Hmm, how is Xixi? I saw the baby in her arms..."
I was clearly pregnant with twins, so how come only one came back?
"She's fine. The girl she was holding just now was Zhiyi. There's also An'an back in our hometown. We'll bring her to see you next time we have the chance."
The old lady nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
Are you hungry? Have you eaten yet?
Fu Huaijin shook his head: "I've already eaten, Grandma. It's late now, go to sleep first. We can talk about it tomorrow."
The old lady nodded slightly. They had waited here all night to make sure that Fu Huaijin had really returned safely.
Now that everything is confirmed, she can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.
After chatting with them for a few minutes, Fu Huaijin hurriedly ran back. He wanted to spend every minute of every day with his child and wife, and he wanted to make up for the three years he had missed.
When he hurriedly returned to the room and saw the mother and daughter sleeping in bed, his anxious heart was instantly filled with love.
He changed into a loose and comfortable nightgown, tiptoed into bed, pulled Ruanyu into his arms, and greedily took a deep breath of his wife's hair. The unique fragrance of her hair instantly filled his nose, making him sigh in his heart: How wonderful, everything is so beautiful.
~~
The next morning, seeing that the two people in bed showed no signs of waking up, Fu Huaijin went out to have breakfast prepared.
As a result, I ran into several of my uncles as soon as I went out.
"Let's chat..."
Fu Huaijin nodded, and the group went to the study together.
As soon as he sat down, his cousin handed him a handover document. He glanced at it and pushed the document, which symbolized power, back to him.
Before the other person could say anything, Fu Huaijin stated directly, "I came back just to see my grandparents. We'll have to rely on you for things at home from now on."
Three years ago, due to Fu Huaijin's health condition, he transferred all the power of the Fu family to others without reservation.
Now that he has returned unharmed, his only thought is for his elders. For the rest of his life, he only wishes to follow his wife and silently protect her. As for the Fu family's affairs, he will no longer interfere.
