Chapter 100 Welcome Home

The rainstorm was getting heavier.

The tires scraped the ground fiercely. After a sudden brake, Huo Yan ignored the rain and opened the car door and ran towards Qin Yao and the other two.

The cold raindrops hurt him all over, and even his eyes were covered with a layer of haziness.

Huo Yan paused suddenly, and a strange yet familiar memory surged like a wave at this moment.

Huo Ze followed Huo Yan closely, and when he saw him pause, he subconsciously said: "Second brother, you... wait... why am I..."

Huo Yan turned around, his eyes were red, and he stared at Huo Ze in a daze.

Huo's father and mother froze as they got out of the car, and Huo Jing lowered his head and murmured, "This... is impossible..."

Those memories that should have been completely erased were returned at this moment.

Not only Qin Yao, but everyone in the Huo family remembered.

They remembered the four encounters in the four restarts, and knew the identity and purpose of Ye Leyao.

Huo Yan felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, and it hurt so much that it became extremely difficult for him to breathe.

Bean-sized raindrops wrapped in sweat slid into his eye sockets, and Huo Yan walked towards Qin Yao numbly.

Qin Yao knelt on the ground, still maintaining that posture.

Qin Hongxi and Chu Cheng beside him kept calling his name, but he turned a deaf ear to them.

Until Huo Yan slowly approached, through the rain curtain formed by countless raindrops, Huo Yan asked in a hoarse voice: "Qin Yao, where is Xiaoyao?" Qin Yao

's eyes were red, and he stared at Huo Yan in a daze.

Until the dense raindrops falling on him became smaller and smaller, until the rain curtain in front of him became clearer.

Huo Yan saw Qin Yao's red eyes and said: "Yaoyao... He replaced me..."

Qin Yao couldn't say the rest of the words, as if a huge rock was surging in his throat, he squatted on the ground and cried uncontrollably.

"He disappeared... Yaoyao disappeared..."

"But he said he would come back..." Qin Yao burst into tears, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or comforting the other members of the Huo family who rushed over in a hurry.

Huo's mother couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell.

There was crying all around.

Huo Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

The heavy clouds dispersed all around, and the raindrops gradually became smaller.

A gust of wind blew, and the clouds were completely blown away.

The rain stopped and the sky cleared.

Huo Yan smiled softly: "After all, I still couldn't stop him..."

Qin Yao was still kneeling on the ground, maintaining the same posture just now without moving.

Huo Yan suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Yao up from the ground: "Qin Yao, you have to remember that Xiaoyao left because of you, he left for you, so from now on, you must cheer up!"

Qin Yao's eyes were swollen and painful, and tears rolled down unconsciously.

Huo Yan spoke every word with great seriousness: "Before he left, he specifically reminded us to remember him, just to tell us that he would definitely come back, so you have to wait for him!"

Qin Yao stared at Huo Yan in a daze.

After a long time, a line of hot tears rolled down again.

Yes.

Ye Leyao was so tired and hard-working along the way.

He finally changed the ending of today and gave himself a new beginning.

Why shouldn't Qin Yao cherish it?

His Yaoyao worked hard.

Now Yaoyao just wants to take a break.

He shouldn't be sad, he should be happy for Yaoyao.

Qin Yao nodded with red eyes, tears falling with his movements.

Qin Yao said: "I'll wait for him."

"I will wait for him."

Regardless of whether Ye Leyao will come back in the future or when he comes back, Qin Yao will wait for him.

He has been waiting for Ye Leyao since he was five years old. He waited for eighteen years until Ye Leyao met him, got to know him and got to know him.

Now, Qin Yao will continue to wait, waiting for Ye Leyao to come back and fall in love with him again.

After all, the thing Qin Yao is best at since he was a child is waiting.

...

Three days later, the fifth episode of the "Let's Travel Together" program was recorded.

But before this recording, the program team suddenly sent a message saying that three regular guests may be absent from this recording.

Seeing this news suddenly, netizens were stunned.

"Ah?"

"Three?"

"How many guests do we have in total? If we miss three of them?"

A small number of netizens found this news difficult to accept, but more netizens and viewers have begun to analyze which three guests will be absent from the recording.

"Blind guess, Song Zhehan!"

Why?

Of course, it's because everyone knows that Mr. Gou Shi has been "chasing his wife to the crematorium" recently!

Netizens who voted for Song Zhehan analyzed that maybe Mr. Gou Shi just loves to be absent.

Seeing this point of view, many netizens thought it made sense.

So they began to analyze who else was left.

Another netizen nominated Li Siyuan.

Speaking of Li Siyuan, everyone couldn't help but think of Duan Tingyan in the previous show.

So, is Li Siyuan so annoyed by Duan Tingyan that he dared not go on the show?

Then the remaining candidate is very obvious, it must be Liu Yan!

Seeing this, netizens were suddenly a little amused.

"So, because of this little thing, the three of them will be absent from the recording this time?"

"It should be said that they are all thin-skinned people!"

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter. Even if you three are not here, as long as I, Gua King, am here, I will be happy!"

Netizens were very happy to discuss, and then they opened the live broadcast room on time when the fifth episode was recorded.

Just seeing this, netizens were stunned.

"Hey? Wait! Song Zhehan didn't quit the recording?"

"Li Siyuan and Liu Yan are also..."

"Then who is not participating?"

Soon, all the resident guests appeared, followed by the flying guests.

Seeing this, netizens suddenly came to their senses.

"Ye Leyao!!! Where is my Ye Leyao?"

"Where is Qin Yao? Where is my old Qin Yao?"

"So our little couple is gone?"

"Why? Not only is my little couple gone, but even Huo Yan is gone?"

"You program crew are heartless!"

"Damn it, damn program crew, I'm going to call the police to arrest you!"

Netizens reacted violently and started a commotion directly on the bullet screen.

More and more fans asked questions, even the regular guests were asking why the three did not come to participate in the program.

But the program crew just didn't respond. Not only did they not respond, they even avoided the question.

At this time, a passerby asked sincerely:

"Will these three people also overturn?"

Seeing such remarks, netizens and fans finally couldn't sit still.

"? What bullshit are you talking about?!"

"I really laughed. Don't say that others have failed just because they are absent, okay? You have watched our show for so many episodes. Don't you know that what we like most about our show is eating melons on the spot? Even if the three of them really failed, they have to fail on our show!"

This sentence was supported by the vast majority of netizens.

Yes.

Even if they really failed, they have to fail on their show!

Otherwise, what basis do you have to say that the three of them failed?

Netizens quarreled for a long time, but they didn't know why the three of them withdrew from the program recording, so they could only turn to the personal Weibo of the three guests to ask.

The first person to respond was Huo Yan.

Huo Yan's Weibo was very simple:

@Huo Yan: Ye Leyao went to school, he is a college student. As for me, I have to shoot a movie.

One sentence was to explain for Ye Leyao, and the other sentence was to explain for myself.

Seeing this, netizens breathed a sigh of relief.

"I almost forgot! Ye Leyao seems to have just started college this year."

"Study first, study first."

Fans understand very well.

But Ye Leyao is in school, Huo Yan is going to film, what about Qin Yao?

Why did Qin Yao quit the show?

Another day later, Qin Yao's agent came out to speak for Qin Yao -

"Due to the death of a family member, Qin Yao will suspend all activities indefinitely in the near future."

Seeing such news, fans and netizens were all shocked.

It turned out to be because of this reason, which is indeed understandable.

So fans and netizens left messages one after another, hoping that Qin Yao would cheer up soon and move forward.

There were many messages on the Internet, and Qin Yao didn't read any of them.

On the third day after Ye Leyao left, Qin Yao and Qin Hongxi handled the funeral affairs of Gu Laozi and Gu Rou.

On the day when Gu Laozi was seriously ill, Gu Song, Gu Yu and Gu Rou had a fierce argument, so the father and son threw Gu Rou directly on the road.

When the two rushed to the hospital, Gu Laozi's vital signs were stable, but after waking up, the old man waited and waited for Gu Rou but did not see her, so he asked about Gu Rou's whereabouts.

Gu Song was reluctant to look for her at first, until Gu Laozi got angry, he was ready to ask someone to pick up Gu Rou.

But before he could go out to make a phone call, the driver ran into the ward in a panic and said, "Oh no, Mr. Gu, the young lady was in a car accident..."

Mr. Gu was lying on the hospital bed, and he felt his head buzzing. He was anxious and his eyes went black and he fainted. After

this fall, he never opened his eyes again.

As for Gu Rou.

After being thrown at the intersection by her younger brother and her nephew who treated her like a son, she suffered a great blow. She walked on the road for a long time in a daze. Without paying attention, she walked into the turbulent traffic.

When she was sent to the hospital, Gu Rou was already in a critical condition.

After a day and a night of rescue, she finally followed Mr. Gu.

Although in Qin Yao's heart, Gu Rou was no longer his mother.

But after losing Ye Leyao, Qin Yao suddenly learned that Gu Rou and Gu Laoyezi had passed away. He still felt like a piece of flesh had been cut out of his heart.

In just three days, Qin Hongxi had also aged a bit.

When Gu Rou died, Qin Hongxi had not divorced her, so the Qin family undertook her funeral.

On the day of the funeral, Qin Hongxi asked Qin Yao: "Do you want to see her off?"

Qin Yao thought about it and said, "Go."

Although there was no love between them, it was Gu Rou who brought him into this world after all.

No matter how many grievances there were in life, they would all be written off after Gu Rou's death.

As for the Gu family,

Qin Yao said, "We should deal with it."

Qin Hongxi nodded, "It should have been dealt with long ago."

He had been forbearing before, but it was because of Gu Hongxi.

Although Gu Rou was not good to Qin Yao, and even more disliked Qin Hongxi.

But Gu Hongxi was always good to Qin Yao and was reasonable.

It was a pity that Gu Hongxi's health had been deteriorating in recent years, so Gu Song took control of the entire Gu family.

Now that both of them were gone, Qin Hongxi no longer had to worry about Gu.

For a long time afterwards, Qin Yao and Qin Hongxi were very busy.

A month later, many scandals about Gu Yu were exposed, and he was completely disgraced.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Song was exposed for economic crimes, the Gu family's stock market crashed, and the Gu Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, time came to October.

This day was the closing day of the "Let's Travel Together" program team.

As the general manager of the program team, Qin Yao naturally had to rush to the scene.

After not seeing each other for many days, the regular guests came forward to say hello.

As Zhou Zijian approached, he frowned and said, "Why do I feel that Xiao Qin has lost a lot of weight?"

Wen Xiangyue looked up and down at Qin Yao for a long time, then nodded, "Yes, he has lost weight. Xiao Qin has been very busy recently?"

Qin Yaochao and the others smiled faintly, "A little bit."

Everyone chatted briefly for a few more sentences, and Liu Yan suddenly asked, "Hey, why don't I see Ye Leyao?"

Qin Yao's expression froze for a moment, and the next moment he quickly came back to his senses, smiled and said, "He has been very busy recently."

"So busy?" Li Siyuan frowned, "So busy that he doesn't even have time to come and meet us?"

Qin Yao nodded, "Yeah."

Li Siyuan wanted to say something else, but Song Zhehan suddenly pressed his shoulder.

Li Siyuan looked at him in confusion.

Song Zhehan said, "Why are you worried about Ye Leyao? You've been getting close to Duan Tingyan recently, haven't you?"

Li Siyuan's face flushed instantly: "No, Song Zhehan, which eye of yours saw me getting close to that bastard?"

Li Siyuan got angry and started to curse at Song Zhehan.

Song Zhehan didn't argue with him at all, but just nodded after he finished speaking: "Yes, yes, yes."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Yeah, yes, yes."

Everyone laughed at this.

"I didn't expect to see a day when Teacher Gou Shi doesn't scold people." Liu Yan sighed. Song

Zhehan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him.

Liu Yan felt a sudden shock, and then she heard Song Zhehan say, "I see you've been having a very comfortable time recently, how about I take you back to the fourth episode later?"

Liu Yan quickly shook her head, "No need! Song Zhehan, thank you!"

The others laughed again.

Qin Yao was also laughing.

But the smile on his face was always faint, with a trace of sadness that could not be erased.

Soon, Qin Yao seemed to realize something, and forced his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.

The recording of this day ended very late.

The sky in October was already a little cool, and when the last shot ended, there was applause from the audience.

Looking at the resident guests again, they all had tears on their faces.

Zhou Zijian drank until his face was red and tears were streaming down his face: "Wuwuwu... To be honest, I really like our show, but... I always feel that our show is missing a few people."

Wen Xiangyue wiped his tears and said: "Okay, okay, you are so old, and you are still crying. Isn't it embarrassing?"

Liu Yan's eyes were also red, and she smiled and said: "This separation is only temporary, and we will definitely cooperate again in the future!"

"Yes," Li Siyuan said, "It's not like we won't see each other anymore, why are you crying, right?"

He looked at Song Zhehan.

Song Zhehan lowered his head and was editing something.

Li Siyuan was a little drunk and walked over: "What are you doing?"

Song Zhehan pushed him away expressionlessly: "I'm sending a message to Duan Tingyan."

Li Siyuan stood up in a hurry: "Song Zhehan!"

"He said he would be there soon." Song Zhehan laughed.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Li Siyuan heard the sound of brakes, and Duan Tingyan really came.

Not only the guests were noisy at the scene, but also the staff.

Many staff came over to take photos with Qin Yao, and Qin Yao agreed with a smile.

After a girl took a photo with him, she came back with another photo a few minutes later: "Teacher Qin, this photo was taken by me in the fourth period. I just found it, so I developed it and gave it to you!"

Qin Yao was a little confused. He reached out to take the photo and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly became red.

This was the last night of the fourth episode of the show, when Qin Yao saw Ye Leyao off.

The two stood at the dock, Qin Yao covered Ye Leyao's eyes with one hand, lowered his head slightly, and gave him a light kiss on the forehead.

The boy was half a head shorter than Qin Yao.

Under the dim light, one could only see the corners of his lips slightly curved.

Qin Yao's eyes were sour, and after a long time he said, "Thank you."

The girl waved her hands and said with a smile, "It's okay, you two should be happy!"

Qin Yao nodded, "Yeah."

They will be happy.

Even if Ye Leyao's return is a long way off, as long as there is a thought in the heart, it is sweet.

The staff had almost dispersed, and the guests were also packing up and preparing to leave.

At this time, Song Zhehan suddenly came over.

Qin Yao perked up a little: "What's up?"

Song Zhehan said: "Let's talk somewhere else."

Qin Yao thought for a moment and nodded.

The two came to a quiet place.

Song Zhehan suddenly said: "I remembered something recently."

Qin Yao's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and he looked at him in surprise: "You..."

Song Zhehan frowned slightly: "It's something not so good, but I saw Ye Leyao in that memory, so I want to confirm it with you."

Qin Yao understood in his heart.

He didn't ask Song Zhehan what he remembered, but just said: "It's true."

Song Zhehan didn't say anything else, and both of them fell silent.

After a long while, Song Zhehan suddenly smiled: "Then I really have to thank him, so where is he?"

Qin Yao remained silent.

Song Zhehan looked at him steadily, and after a long time he sighed softly: "Is that so..."

He changed the question: "Will he come back?"

This time Qin Yao did not hesitate, and was even very sure. He said: "Yes."

Song Zhehan smiled, and it was the first time he smiled so frankly. He asked: "How can you be so sure?"

Qin Yao said: "He never lied to me, and I promised him."

Qin Yao would wait for Ye Leyao.

Waiting for his Yaoyao to come back to him again.

Song Zhehan lowered his head, hiding the emotions in his eyes. After a long time, he spoke again: "If he comes back one day, remember to notify me. Zhang Qiran said that you must come to thank him in person no matter what."

Qin Yao said: "Okay."

The day ended, and the days gradually became dull again.

October passed quickly, and winter came as promised.

On the last day of December, the first heavy snow of the year fell.

Qin Yao moved all the roses on the balcony into the warm house early. Now there is only a lounge chair and a small coffee table left on the balcony.

After a night, the snow piled up outside. Qin Yao walked out of the house, took a small shovel and slowly shoveled the snow, and then built a round little snowman in a place where the sun could not find it.

He followed Ye Leyao's example and poked the snowman's face with his red, frozen fingers.

After poking two dimples, Qin Yao smiled and filled them up with snow.

Every morning after that, Qin Yao would come out to look at the snowman.

Until winter passed and spring came, the snowman completely melted into snow water.

When spring came, the roses on the balcony returned to their original positions.

Qin Yao took good care of these roses and did not die in the winter. Qin Yao's life also moved smoothly to the next stage.

But every time Qin Yao woke up from a dream at midnight, his pillow would always be wet.

At this time, Qin Yao would get up, turn on the light, and sit in the study.

This study was the last room Ye Leyao stayed in.

Qin Yao turned on the computer, and soon the Q version of the little man who looked exactly like Ye Leyao jumped out.

Next to the computer was a transparent photo frame, which contained a note left by Ye Leyao. On it was a simple sentence:

"I'll come back to find you, Qin Yao, you have to wait for me.

Signed: Ye Leyao."

Qin Yao watched the jumping Q-version man open his document, and then typed a line of words: "Why don't you go to bed so late?!"

Qin Yao smiled: "I miss you."

The Q-version man said: "Then you have to go to bed too."

Qin Yao said: "Okay."

The Q-version man asked: "Are you just trying to fool me?"

Qin Yao shook his head: "No."

The Q-version man urged again: "Then get up now and go to bed. You have to have a regular schedule, and I will definitely come back to see you early."

Qin Yao's eyes were red, and he stared at the line of words for a long time before he said: "Okay, I promise you, Yaoyao."

So you have to come back soon.

At the end of the first summer after Ye Leyao left, Qin Yao went to the Huo family.

Huo's father completely retired from the Huo Group this year. As he said, he felt that he was old and needed to hand over the heavy responsibility to Huo Jing.

But everyone knew that Ye Leyao left too suddenly and hit Huo's father too hard.

In fact, it was not just Huo's father. For a long time, everyone in the Huo family was a little broken.

Huo's mother would wake up every night.

Huo Ze made mistakes during the game.

Even Huo Jing, who was the most stable on weekdays, made two mistakes in the documents. It was Assistant Feng who discovered the mistakes and made corrections in time.

That's why Qin Yao often comes to the Huo family.

Occasionally, he would play chess with Huo's father, or teach Huo's mother to make oatmeal milk.

When Mrs. Huo drank the oatmeal milk made by Qin Yao for the first time, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "No wonder Xiaoyao likes the milk you make, it's really delicious!"

The other members of the Huo family also came to join in the fun.

So, every time Qin Yao came, he would make a few cups of milk first.

After drinking the milk that day, Dad Huo took Qin Yao fishing.

Fishing is something that requires a lot of patience.

Until the sun set in the sky, Dad Huo couldn't help but ask a question: "How long do you think... Xiaoyao will come back?"

A fish bit the hook and was pulling the hook to swim into the deep water.

Qin Yao watched the line of the fishing rod running non-stop. After a long time, he reached out and raised the fishing rod.

"I don't know." Qin Yao heard himself say.

Dad Huo sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

Winter and summer come and go, and it's summer again.

Qin Yao has completely retired from the entertainment industry at this time, and now his daily work is to handle the major affairs of the company.

On this day, when Qin Yao was about to go home after work, he met two familiar faces in the company, Song Zhehan and Zhang Qiran.

Seeing the two people, Qin Yao remembered that they had just signed in to their company last month.

"Long time no see." Qin Yao took the initiative to say hello.

The two also greeted Qin Yao, and then Zhang Qiran pulled Song Zhehan's hand.

Song Zhehan was helpless: "Do you believe me when I say no?"

Zhang Qiran glared at Song Zhehan.

Qin Yao couldn't help laughing: "Indeed not."

Zhang Qiran then said: "Then how long will it take?"

Qin Yao didn't say anything, because he didn't know either.

Two years passed quickly, but his little system still hadn't come back.

But for some reason, Qin Yao always felt that it would be soon.

So Qin Yao said, "It shouldn't be long."

Zhang Qiran was instantly happy: "That's good! Remember to notify us as soon as he comes back!"

Qin Yao nodded: "Okay."

...

Space-Time Bureau.

L2 turned over in front of the huge computer. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at the computer behind him. He was stunned and started screaming: "Qiu - bad!!!"

Qiu was startled when he heard his scream and hurried over: "What's wrong?"

Before L2 answered, Qiu realized something: "Could it be that L1..."

"He ran away! He ran away directly! This conscienceless dog system!" L2 was so angry that he cursed, "I have been guarding him here for several months, and he recovered and ran away without saying a word!"

L2 was so angry that he jumped up and down, making Qiu's ears hurt.

In the end, Qiu had no choice but to reach out and pick up the angry orange cat, and stroke its fur, which barely coaxed L2.

At the same time.

Qin Yao, who had worked a day, finally returned home.

The housekeeper asked him if he wanted to eat. Qin Yao shook his head and was about to say that he had no appetite, but suddenly he remembered the program figurine that Ye Leyao left for him.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Bring it to me later."

The housekeeper responded and left quickly.

Qin Yao rubbed his tired temples and opened the door of his room.

As soon as he opened it, Qin Yao smelled a faint scent of milk.

Qin Yao was stunned and walked quickly to the kitchen.

In the half-open kitchen, there stood a tall figure. There was a large pool of milk at the boy's feet. He stood there, a little at a loss.

Qin Yao froze, he looked at the figure in front of him in disbelief, and murmured for a long time: "Yao...Yao."

Ye Leyao turned around and saw Qin Yao, and instantly showed an aggrieved expression: "Boss Qin, my hand slipped... I didn't have a mouthful of the milk you made for me..."

The next moment, Qin Yao quickly stepped forward and suddenly hugged the boy in front of him.

The moment their chests touched, Qin Yao felt that the empty space in his heart that had been carved out became full.

Surrounded by the joy of regaining what he had lost, Qin Yao's voice was choked with sobs and his body was shaking: "It's okay, it's okay, Yaoyao, it doesn't matter if the milk spilled, I'll make it for you, I'll make it for you every day from now on, okay?"

Ye Leyao smelled the familiar smell on Qin Yao's body, and couldn't help burying his face in Qin Yao's neck.

He suddenly felt that as long as Qin Yao could hug him every day, milk didn't seem so important.

After all, at this moment, he had already got the most precious person.

Ye Leyao's eyes were sour, and the little system that didn't understand emotions at all, at this time, two lines of hot tears slid down the corners of his eyes.

Ye Leyao hugged Qin Yao and said, "Boss Qin, I'm back."

Qin Yao burst into tears: "Yeah."

Ye Leyao said, "I won't leave."

Qin Yao: "Yeah."

"I like you."

In response to Ye Leyao, Qin Yao gave him an eager and passionate kiss.

The story of the encounter between cells and data finally came to a perfect end at this moment.

The world is full of troubles, but also full of beauty.

Welcome home, Ye Leyao.
