Pei Xiao, who was extremely excited, stood up excitedly and pushed open the door after hearing the sound.
Yu Meijuan was parking her bicycle in the yard. The moment she looked up, she saw the handsome face that had haunted her dreams.
The two people instantly stopped where they were as if petrified.
"Meijuan, Pei Xiao." The two called each other's names in unison.
Then they each went their separate ways, hugging each other tightly. The air in the yard became sweet and sticky.
"It's over, it's over. We can't have this meal. You should know how many bites to take first." Yu Zihan witnessed the two people hugging each other in the room.
After a long time, Yu Zihan's eyes were tired of looking, and the two of them let go.
"Let's go inside. It's not good for Zihan to wait too long." Pei Xiao only thought of his daughter at this time. Yu Zihan curled her lips. You two are true love, I was just an accident. Thinking about her own birth, she was not an accident.
"You go in first, I'll wash my hands." Yu Meijuan's voice became several degrees softer.
Pei Xiao walked into the room and saw Yu Zihan sitting at the dining table. He scratched his head sheepishly, "Hey, your mom's back. Let's have dinner, let's have dinner."
Yu Zihan couldn't help but laugh when she saw his appearance. He was just like a young boy.
She said nothing as she filled their glasses.
"Zi Han, you're awesome! Mom saw you win the award on TV." Yu Meijuan said loudly as she entered the room.
"I thought you forgot about me and only had dad in your eyes." Yu Zihan said jokingly.
"What are you talking about, kid?" Yu Meijuan's face turned red when she heard her daughter's words.
"Come on, let's raise our glasses as a family of three to celebrate our daughter's award." Pei Xiao broke the awkwardness and raised his glass first.
The three of them drank the wine in their glasses.
"Come on, let's celebrate the reunion of our family of three." Yu Zihan said, imitating his father's tone.
The two adults looked at their naughty daughter and happily drank the second glass of wine.
"With this third glass of wine, I wish my parents to finally get married and live happily forever." Yu Zihan said this from the bottom of his heart.
When the two heard the blessings from their daughter, they drank the wine in their glasses, tears of happiness in their eyes.
Looking at the two people's eyes, Yu Zihan felt both relieved and helpless. How should she, a superfluous person, deal with it?
Yu Meijuan saw that the dishes on the table were all her favorites. She looked at Pei Xiao and then at her daughter.
"Please sit down. I'm getting really hungry just by smelling the delicious food."
The family of three ate their meal attentively. Pei Xiao picked up food for Yu Meijuan and Yu Zihan, each time serving them. He was busy, but his face was always smiling.
"You like this fish, too." Yu Meijuan picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and offered it to Pei Xiao. Their movements were completely familiar, not like they hadn't seen each other for over a decade. Their behavior spoke volumes about their close relationship.
Yu Zihan internally lamented how many lovers were torn apart during that era. Mom and Dad were happy; even though they'd been apart for years, their love remained unchanged. So many people were torn apart by the movement. It wasn't that their feelings weren't deep, it was that they couldn't weather the harsh reality.
The family of three is very happy.
"Mom, how long will you have to do this job?" Yu Zihan thought of her mother's job.
"Oh, it's finished. I didn't have to go for the next few days, but I was worried, so I fixed some parts that I thought needed improvement." Yu Meijuan looked at her daughter. She didn't understand why her daughter asked about her work.
"Meijuan, I'm here to pick you and Zihan up. We've finally been reunited, and I don't want to be separated from you again. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything when we get to the capital. I'll even give you a grand wedding." Pei Xiao was so moved that he actually stood up. But when he saw Yu Meijuan's eyes fixed on his daughter, he looked at her awkwardly.
Yu Meijuan knew Pei Xiao well. Although he appeared to be a well-educated, well-mannered gentleman, their private interactions were quite casual, and Pei Xiao was quite eccentric. She couldn't help but smile. Her daughter hadn't changed her stubborn ways even at that age. But she felt a sweetness in her heart.
"I have no objection, but my daughter's studies cannot be delayed. It depends on whether her situation allows it." Yu Meijuan looked at her daughter.
Yu Zihan was touched: "This is her mother. The first person she thinks of is always her precious daughter."
"Mom and Dad, I'm so happy that our family of three is reunited, and I hope we can stay together forever. Don't worry about my studies; my abilities will take me anywhere," she said in a relaxed tone. She didn't want to worry her mother, and she certainly wouldn't let her delay reuniting with Dad for her. Although she wasn't sure if she would adapt to school in the capital, she was determined to try.
"I believe my daughter can handle anything. Zihan is about to take the high school entrance exam, right? Let's go to the capital to take it. Shuyan happens to be in the same position as you, so you can get to know her better. I'll take care of the household registration and school enrollment. It'll be quick." After discussing his daughter's affairs, Pei Xiao wanted to talk to Meijuan about her own affairs. So he looked at Meijuan and then at his daughter.
"Just say whatever you want to say. Our daughter has grown up, and she has the right to know everything about her parents. I also hope that no matter what happens in our family in the future, the three of us will be informed and participate." Pei Xiao and Yu Zihan nodded after hearing her words.
"I have a question or a suspicion. Did anything happen in your Yu family back then?" Yu Meijuan didn't understand what he meant. She stared at Pei Xiao intently.
Pei Xiao knew from her expression that Yu Meijuan didn't know any more than he did, so he continued, "When I returned to the imperial capital, I immediately went to the Yu family to inquire about your situation. When I looked for you, your parents and brother all agreed that you came to the countryside to escape your current situation, saying that you ran away because you were afraid of hardship and being implicated by them. It was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with your behavior at the time, to the point that they believed there was no possibility of you being alive. In their hearts, they seemed to believe that you were no longer alive."
Pei Xiao knew it was cruel to say such words to Yu Meijuan, but he wanted her to face it. He had the ability to protect her, and he would not let them suffer any more harm, whether from the outside world or their family.
Yu Meijuan listened to Pei Xiao's words without saying anything. She became very silent. But after a moment's silence, a resolute expression appeared on Yu Meijuan's face.
She looked up at Pei Xiao and then at Yu Zihan. "I think there must be something strange going on here. Whether it's me going to the countryside or returning to the city, or my experiences in Xiahe Village, I find them all very strange. Don't be afraid. I've experienced death before, so this little difficulty won't scare me. I've vaguely known something over the years, but I have no evidence. I'll figure it out when I return. Since that person wants to persecute me, I think she might know my character. I'm not that easy to deal with. If I reappear in the imperial capital, our struggle will start all over again, and she'll reveal her true colors."
