The next morning at six o'clock, Duan Ye's plane landed in Kyoto.
Duan Ye had originally planned to go by himself at such an early hour, but as soon as he stepped out of the airport, he saw two familiar faces.
Lin Feng and Liu Jie.
This year marks the fourth year that Duan Ye has been in the desert, and the three brothers haven't seen each other for a long time.
As soon as Duan Ye walked over, Lin Feng and Liu Jie rushed over to him.
Lin Feng was still wearing the groom's suit, with a gold flower pinned to his chest, and his hair was styled with hair wax. Liu Jie was also wearing a suit and had his hair styled. The two of them looked like they had been waiting here for a while.
As soon as Duan Ye came out, Lin Feng and Liu Jie rushed forward and hugged him tightly.
Duan Ye genuinely laughed, ignoring his luggage and opening his arms to hug them.
Lin Feng punched Duan Ye with tears in his eyes: "You deserve to die! You've been gone for so many years, longer than I spent studying abroad!"
Liu Jie: "Who can argue with that? It's been longer than the time I spent traveling the world with the geography team!"
Duan Ye feigned a wail: "Ouch, ouch, you two were so rough with me! But I'm back now, aren't I?"
Seeing his expression, Liu Jie couldn't help but punch him again: "You finally decided to come back. I thought you were planning to spend the rest of your life in the desert!"
Duan Ye: "How could that be? The capital is so prosperous, why would I run off to that godforsaken place to spend my whole life?"
Lin Feng wiped away his tears: "You little rascal, it's been so many years, you've gotten darker and stronger, you look like a bull now, the desert environment really does take care of you!"
Duan Ye's face darkened, and he couldn't help but punch Lin Feng twice: "Can't you talk properly? This is called having super good physical fitness, don't you understand?!"
Seeing that Duan Ye was joking with them as always, without any sense of distance, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them walked out together, talking as they went.
Duan Ye suddenly turned around, as if he had just remembered something: "Hey, my suitcase!"
Liu Jie quickly ran back to retrieve the suitcase he had almost forgotten.
Lin Feng put his arm around Duan Ye and said, "Your timing for getting off the plane is perfect. Come on, let's go to the Ruan family to pick up your sister-in-law."
Duan Ye's eyes widened: "You don't want me to be your best man, do you?"
Lin Feng: "What else? I've been waiting for you. I've even prepared your clothes."
Duan Ye shook his head: "It's not suitable, I..."
Liu Jie interrupted him directly: "What's inappropriate about it? We're both single, let's go."
And just like that, Duan Ye was forcibly shoved into the car.
Liu Jie was driving, and Lin Feng tossed the prepared clothes to Duan Ye: "They were made according to your old size, so they might be a little small..."
Duan Ye looked troubled: "Can I not wear it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately took action: "I think you want me to help you undress, right? Well then, I'll reluctantly serve Master Duan..."
Duan Ye surrendered immediately: "Okay, okay, don't move, I'll do it myself!"
Looking at them joking around in the rearview mirror, Liu Jie couldn't help but sigh and think how good life is now.
Although they have all experienced some unpleasant romantic relationships, at least they are still brothers.
And so, amidst all the bickering and playful banter, they finally met up with the Lin family's wedding procession, setting off firecrackers along the way as they headed towards the Ruan family's home.
Duan Ye moved from the back seat to the front passenger seat, and they traveled through almost half of Beijing in this manner.
The convoy was quite lively. The Lin family was considered to have some assets. Although they couldn't compare to the extremely wealthy families in the capital, they were still quite powerful. Along the way, the cheapest car they drove was a Mercedes-Benz.
They were standing in a long line waiting for the traffic light.
Across the traffic light, in the shopping mall, Luo Qingyuan and Chen Manhua were shopping, both buying clothes and shoes for their child to wear in the spring, since it would be March soon and the children would be going back to school.
As the two were choosing clothes, the sound of firecrackers echoed throughout the street once again.
The two subconsciously looked down, but could only see a long wedding procession.
Even though there was nothing there, Luo Qingyuan's heart was pounding, her breathing became slightly rapid, and her hands and feet turned to ice.
Chen Manhua noticed something was wrong with her: "What's wrong?"
Luo Qingyuan shook her head: "I don't know either. Maybe I'm just tired from walking around for so long."
Chen Manhua quickly helped her up: "Then quickly sit down and rest for a while."
"good."
At this moment, Duan Ye could not control his heartbeat. He even felt inexplicably panicked and subconsciously scanned the entire area outside the window, but there was nothing there.
Liu Jie asked him, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"
Duan Ye: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from rushing to catch the flight."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng said, "It's alright, isn't it? After you finish picking up the bride, go to sleep and adjust to the time difference. We can play together again tonight."
Duan Ye didn't insist and simply said, "Okay."
With his best friend, he was at his most relaxed.
And so, at the bustling traffic light intersection, the wedding procession slowly set off, while Luo Qingyuan was helped away by Chen Manhua.
Luo Qingyuan sat on the sofa for a while before she gradually calmed down.
Chen Manhua: "It must be exhausting to raise two kids all by yourself, right?"
Luo Qingyuan smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, I can handle it."
Chen Manhua: "Hey, children can't live without their mothers. You've been raising them all by yourself these past few years. Even though Sui Sui has helped, you still have to do the breastfeeding yourself. Look at you, how thin you've become these past few years!"
Chen Manhua genuinely felt sorry for Luo Qingyuan. Many women become a little plumper after giving birth and during their postpartum period.
In contrast, Luo Qingyuan suffered severe postpartum hemorrhage and nearly died on the operating table. Later, she raised two children on her own while also managing her company's work. According to Sui Sui, she didn't even have a proper postpartum period. Her body didn't recover well, so it's no wonder she lost weight again.
In fact, what tormented Luo Qingyuan the most was not the child, but the longing she had felt over the past few years. It was like a leech, causing her pain and itching, and she often couldn't eat or sleep well.
Luo Qingyuan shook her head with a smile: "I'm fine."
"Let's go back."
Luo Qingyuan stood up, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a girl with a pouty mouth.
It is a deep thought.
She must have been there to shop too, carrying large and small bags. As soon as Luo Qingyuan saw her, her tears burst forth completely.
In that instant, Luo Qingyuan's eyes also reddened.
Shen Niannian threw her things down and ran towards Luo Qingyuan, hugging her tightly.
Her voice choked with sobs: "You bad woman! You still know how to come back! Waaaaah, why didn't you wait until I was dead before you came back!!!"
Luo Qingyuan gently patted her back: "I'm sorry... but I'm back now."
Shen Niannian was furious: "How long have you been back! Tell me the truth!"
Luo Qingyuan blushed with embarrassment: "I'll be back for the New Year..."
Shen Niannian was even angrier and reached out to slap Luo Qingyuan twice: "You heartless bastard, it's been more than two months since you came back and you haven't contacted me at all? Don't you even want me anymore?!"
