Gu Jingxuan came back with the water, and Yu Zihan thanked him and poured some hot water for herself and her sister.
Seeing that his cup was empty, he filled it with water.
The two sat face to face on small chairs and chatted.
"Have you and your mother already lived in the imperial capital permanently?" Gu Jingxuan asked curiously.
"Yes, my father moved our household registration to the imperial capital, and I also took the imperial capital's high school entrance exam. I will be attending the Imperial Capital University Affiliated High School."
For some reason, Yu Zihan naturally talked about her family affairs with Gu Jingxuan, feeling that there was nothing to hide from him.
"That's great. You'll have your family back in the capital, so you won't have to work so hard. You don't have to worry about anything at the Pei family. With the Pei family's reputation, there's nothing they can't handle in the capital."
Whenever Gu Jingxuan thought about the little girl's experiences in the small mountain village and Qingcheng, he felt that the little girl was very strong inside.
"Have you also heard of the Pei family?" Yu Zihan was a little surprised.
"Haha, I also know your father. You can go back and ask him and you will know."
Gu Jingxuan thought about his past with Pei Xiao and found it funny that he actually knew his daughter. According to their seniority, the little girl should still call him uncle. But for some reason, Gu Jingxuan didn't want her to call him that.
"Oh, so there's such a fate." Yu Zihan didn't think it was a big deal. He knew his father, so they were acquaintances.
"I'll treat you and your sister to lunch at noon. It's rare for us to meet. I won't be in the capital for long, so I don't know when we'll meet again."
Gu Jingxuan looked at his watch. He didn't expect that the time they were chatting would pass so quickly. Before he knew it, it was almost noon.
"Okay." Yu Zihan agreed heartlessly.
She felt that they were already very familiar with each other, to the point where they could even treat each other to dinner.
At noon, Pei Shuyan and her sister had a pretty good lunch. Gu Jingxuan ordered almost all the decent dishes in the dining car for them. If Yu Zihan hadn't stopped them, they would probably have leftovers.
After taking a nap in the afternoon, it was already evening.
At five forty, the train slowly stopped and they lined up to leave the station.
"Is there anyone coming to pick you up at the station? I'll take you there." Gu Jingxuan asked when he saw the car coming to pick him up.
"Oh, no thanks. We still have some things to do at the station and will be back later." Yu Zihan still had to wait for their checked cargo.
"Okay, see you then." Gu Jingxuan had something urgent to do, so he left without delay and got on the bus.
Unexpectedly, they saw Pei Xiao waiting anxiously at the freight exit.
"Zi Han, Shu Yan, here." The old father waved at them from a distance, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
"Dad. Uncle." Pei Xiao saw the two girls rushing towards him happily.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Pei Xiao looked at them with joy.
"Zi Han, where are the shipping documents?" Pei Xiao had obviously already inquired about the process of picking up the goods.
What does it feel like to have such a thoughtful father? Yu Zihan felt extremely happy at this moment.
Yu Zihan handed the receipt to Pei Xiao, who hurried to the pickup window to complete the formalities.
They waited for about half an hour before Pei Xiao took out Yu Zihan's goods.
The back seat and trunk of the car were filled with cargo, so the three of them had to take the bus home.
Pei Shuyan chattered along the way, describing their journey and their time in Pengcheng. Her language was rich, her expressions vivid, and her details detailed. Even Yu Zihan, who had experienced it firsthand, felt as if she were there. She was once again amazed at Pei Shuyan's expressive ability.
Pei Xiao was terrified as he listened, his face tense. Finally, he commented, "It was quite thrilling. You guys are so brave. But it was a close call."
Yu Zihan was worried that her father would stop her from going out again. Unexpectedly, Pei Xiao said, "Xia Ci, you have to listen to your sister and don't act on your own. Look, your sister is more thoughtful than you."
Pei Shuyan widened her eyes and looked at her uncle and then at her sister: "It seems I have to go find my parents. I miss them so much."
They returned home laughing and talking happily. Everyone in the family was there. Even the third and second uncles were there. Pei Shuyan didn't have to look for her parents. When she saw her parents, she excitedly threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears.
When her family saw her movements, they felt very uneasy and thought something had happened.
"What's going on, Zi Han?" Grandpa and grandma asked with frowns.
Yu Zihan smiled and shook his head: "I don't know either. Everything is fine on land."
Looking at Zi Han's expression, they knew that nothing had happened, so they had no choice but to wait until Pei Shuyan was done before asking.
She stopped only when Pei Shuyan was crying and burping.
She looked at everyone, and everyone looked at her in confusion.
"Oh, I just missed my mom and dad." She hurriedly tried to make amends for her behavior.
This explanation made everyone laugh and cry, and the anxious hearts of the second uncle and second aunt finally calmed down.
"You're such a grown-up and you're still crying like this. It's really unbelievable." Grandma said in a scolding tone, but there was no complaint in her tone, more of doting.
"Today happens to be Sunday. Everyone heard that you are coming back and wants to see our future boss. Go wash up and we'll talk about it later when we have dinner. You must be exhausted after taking the train." Grandma came to their rescue, and the two sisters obediently went to take a shower and change clothes.
At the dinner table, Pei Shuyan once again told everyone about their experiences, and everyone was so engrossed in listening that they forgot to eat.
Yu Zihan gave a thumbs up and said, "That's wonderful. Your skills have improved again." No one understood what he meant.
Pei Xiao smiled and said, "Shu Yan already told me this once on the bus. This is the second time."
There was a pause, and then everyone burst into laughter.
Yu Zihan was feeling proud that this move of his had successfully diverted everyone's attention and made them no longer focus on the dangers they encountered on the way.
At this time, Yu Meijuan began to cry.
"It's over, it's over." Yu Zihan heard her mother crying and knew that she still couldn't escape her mother's fragile heart.
Pei Xiao comforted his wife, knowing she cared about their daughter. Perhaps only she, as a mother, understood her daughter's efforts and the dangers of her experiences.
This is not a story. In the story, if the daughter's ability is even slightly inferior, it will become an accident.
Everyone was lost in thought. Suddenly, the atmosphere at the table fell silent. Yu Meijuan felt it, and she felt guilty, but she couldn't help herself.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't you feel how powerful my sister is from my story? Uncle, you don't know that my sister translated the instruction manual for the boss in just one night. It's so thick." Pei Shuyan gestured with her hands, her movements were exaggerated.
This time, no one was amused by Pei Shuyan, and they all looked at Yu Zihan with praise.
Yu Zihan must have felt so guilty being looked at like this by her family.
