Chapter 556 Extra - A group of childish ghosts.
"It has to be my thoughtful little Aye, who knows how to care for her brother, unlike you guys...!" He Zhuo snorted at Gu Qi and his group.
"Forget it, why bother arguing with you? After all, in the world of crows, swans are guilty too!"
As he spoke, he bent over, and Shi Xu, Gu Qi, Ji Xian, and even the usually calm and taciturn Chi Yi, as if they had agreed in advance, all bent over at the same time.
Shi Xu's lips curled into a noticeable smile, his voice tinged with mischief.
"It's rare to see our little Aye let us hold him today. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss it, we'll regret it for a year or two."
As if he had expected this, Lu Beiye released his hands from Lu Xici and Chi Yanzhou, slightly opened his short arms, his face still tense, trying hard to maintain a serious expression.
But those big eyes revealed a seriousness that said, "I'm ready, come on."
Lu Xici: "I'll give you some instructions. Line up. Aye said that each person can only hug once, so make sure it's just for a moment."
He Zhuo: "??? Give me a seat! According to first come, first served, deepest feelings, and most heartbreaking crying, shouldn't I be first?"
He pointed to his still-reddened eyes...
Gu Qi: "We're family, don't worry about the order of importance when it comes to people!"
He Zhuo: "...The last time I was this speechless was the last time!"
Ji Xian took Lu Beiye from Gu Qi's hand.
"We're all family, half-brothers from different fathers and mothers. Don't be so petty. As the old saying goes, suffering a loss is a blessing!"
He Zhuo: "...Then eat more, brother wishes you boundless happiness!"
Lu Nange and Gu Wan stood not far away, watching this scene, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Gu Wan: "A bunch of childish idiots!"
The heavy gloom that had been weighing on my heart since I woke up was dispelled by the lively and familiar bustle.
Indeed, their appearance and demeanor were too striking, and their movements always drew the attention of passersby.
Several bold young people even went up to try and get his contact information.
To avoid unnecessary attention and trouble, they simply moved to a quiet corner nearby.
While Lu Beiye was being passed around in everyone's arms, Lu Xici moved to Lu Nange's side.
His Adam's apple bobbed, a hint of tension in his voice: "Nan Nan, are Mom and Dad... alright?"
This question, from the moment he woke up in the morning and his memories returned, burned like a red-hot iron on his heart.
In the end times, they dared not ask, for fear that asking would reopen the bloody wounds of the three siblings.
When I first "came back", I dared not think about it, fearing that this was another illusion that was too real but would eventually shatter.
Lu Nange turned her head and clearly caught the unease hidden deep in his eyes and the longing that had been suppressed for too long.
She reached out and squeezed her older brother's slightly cold fingers.
"Big brother, don't worry, Mom and Dad are at home, they're both fine."
She paused, then looked at Lu Xici with a gentle yet firm gaze: "This time, they will definitely be alright, and they will always stay by our side, watching us grow up."
Lu Xici's taut jawline relaxed almost imperceptibly for a moment, and he gripped his sister's hand tightly with his other hand.
Suppressing the emotions surging in his eyes, he nodded.
Lu Nange: "Brother, I've told Mom and Dad that we'll have our own get-together at noon and then go home together tonight."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over her seemingly relaxed companions, who were actually listening intently.
"I know that everyone is feeling uneasy, and we can only truly feel at ease after we get through tomorrow night safely and confirm with our own eyes that the 'storm' will not come again."
Only then can we truly believe that we will not experience the apocalypse again in the future.
So, for the next couple of days, we'll stay together and not go anywhere. We'll talk about it again tomorrow night.
Upon hearing this, everyone remained silent, only nodding slightly in tacit agreement.
Gu Qi nudged Chi Yanzhou with his elbow, lowering his voice with a friendly, brotherly banter.
"Brother Yan, it's been too quiet on this joyous day of reunion!"
Chi Yanzhou's gaze had been subtly fixed on Lu Nange. Upon hearing this, he slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at Gu Qi.
"With He Zhuo alone, it's already lively enough."
And so, the group naturally formed a small circle in a somewhat secluded corner.
They chattered away, their conversations ranging from all over the world to even dreaming about where they would take their families on a trip "after tomorrow"...
Lu Beiye, on the other hand, was like a little mascot, being hugged by one older brother and then taken away by another.
The forced seriousness on her little face gradually softened in the gentle or clumsy embrace of her brothers, and the corners of her mouth even unconsciously turned up a little.
Their conversation continued until the airport announcement came again, the tone indicating that Wen Qing's flight had landed, which pierced through the sound of their conversation.
Almost simultaneously, their laughter stopped abruptly, and they all stood up straight, their eyes fixed intently on the direction of the passenger exit.
The group chose a spot with a wide view, one that could be seen immediately from the exit, and waited quietly.
The crowd began to thicken, and Wen Qing finally appeared.
She held her daughter in her arms, with Chi Heng standing half a step away beside her, helping her push her suitcase.
As soon as she stepped out of the passage, Wen Qing's eyes eagerly searched for something.
Then, her gaze fell upon the group of figures ahead, eagerly awaiting her arrival—figures so familiar they made her heart clench.
Almost instantly, her eyes welled up with tears, and a surge of intense bitterness and ecstasy rushed to the tip of her nose.
Waking up today, facing my ex-husband alone, dealing with troubles, and having been on the verge of collapse, my heartstrings were stretched to the limit. At this moment, I felt a moment of relief, but then I was stirred by another, even more turbulent emotion.
"Sister Wenqing!" Several voices rang out at the same time, not loud, but filled with suppressed excitement, and traveled through the distance to reach her ears clearly.
"I...I'm here!" Wen Qing choked back tears and managed to reply twice.
She hugged her bewildered daughter tightly, and her pace quickened involuntarily as she walked towards the light that 'illuminated' her.
Chi Heng dutifully protected her, silently separating her from the crowded people until they stood face to face a few steps away.
Lu Nange and Gu Wan reached out their arms almost simultaneously, one on each side, and embraced Wen Qing along with the girl in her arms who was looking around curiously with wide eyes.
A hug is worth a thousand words.
Wen Qing closed her eyes, forcibly suppressing the tears that were about to spill over.
Her voice was still choked with emotion: "Nan Nan, Wan Wan... I'm here."
Chi Heng pushed his suitcase and walked to Chi Yanzhou's side, bowing slightly: "Young Master."
Chi Yanzhou, holding Lu Beiye, nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Chi Heng."
Chi Heng stood up straight: "The old man instructed me to stay by your side during this period and follow your arrangements."
Chi Yanzhou: "Hmm. Stay."
He Zhuo watched longingly as the girls hugged each other endlessly, as if they had endless intimate conversations, and couldn't help but hum a couple of times.
"Sister Wenqing! Look over here! There are several of us living, breathing people standing here so dashingly. Wouldn't you spare a moment to glance at us?"
Your half-brothers are heartbroken!
Wen Qing burst out laughing, and adjusted her position while holding her daughter so that the little one in her arms could see everyone directly.
“This is my daughter,” her voice softened, “her nickname is Little Cherry, but I’m used to calling her Nannan. I plan to change her formal name to Wenying, which takes my surname.”
You can call them whatever you want, they're all our little darlings anyway.
She gently bounced the baby in her arms, softly guiding it, her gaze sweeping over the concerned faces before her.
"Darling, look, these are Mommy's younger brothers and sisters, your aunts and uncles. Come on, say hello to them, okay?"
