"Do we really have to stay here to catch up?"
Bai Hao spoke in a cold tone.
Upon hearing this, the three cubs trembled and quickly released Qin Nan.
Chi Wei reached out and led Qin Nan to sit down on the sofa.
Qin Nan felt it was unreal when Bai Hao told her that he had slept for five years, but the three little ones kept telling her about what had happened over the years.
Only then did he truly believe that he had slept for a long time.
By human standards, he is now thirty-three years old.
When he first returned to his hometown and met Bai Hao, he was just an ordinary person whose edges had been worn down by life, struggling in the mundane world.
Now, he has been completely transformed, and the mundane world is gradually fading away from him.
He was no longer poor, nor did he shrink back.
Hearing that Pi Sheng and the others were all married and had children was truly shocking and unexpected.
In addition, Su Kun's father and Sang Wusheng's mother are both safe and well, and are traveling abroad.
Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao, who waved his phone to indicate that he had already informed him, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Qin residence would soon be very lively.
Qin Nan was speechless. Bai Hao was too quick. He wanted to see the changes in the old city over the years. The Qin residence hadn't changed much since he fell asleep, except for some furniture and appliances that had been replaced. Bai Hao hadn't bothered with that.
The three little ones were still talking non-stop, and Qin Nan listened attentively, occasionally asking a question.
But not long after, in broad daylight, a gust of wind blew in, and the beasts inside the house were startled, all looking towards the doorway.
The next moment, Su Kun, who was bare-armed and wearing beach shorts, and Sang Wusheng, who was wearing a bikini and had wavy hair, rushed in.
They were even barefoot.
Qin Nan stood up and caught Sang Wusheng, who was hugging him tightly.
"Mom, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see, my little one. You're finally awake. Are you feeling unwell? Are you hurt?"
Sang Wusheng hurriedly released Qin Nan, looked him up and down, and even spun him around.
A warm feeling welled up in Qin Nan's heart, but she smiled helplessly on the surface.
"Mom, I'm fine. I just had a really long dream, and now I'm awake."
"Dream?"
Su Kun couldn't hide his joy, but he couldn't get involved. The baby was in his wife's hands, and he could only watch helplessly.
"Yes, Dad, it's been a long time. I had a dream about... Grandpa and Grandma."
Su Kun and Sang Wusheng were taken aback upon hearing this.
“I dreamt that Grandma Houtu created that space and then died. Grandpa Muhuang came to accompany Grandma and opened up that space, which seemed to be for him to sleep with Grandma forever.”
Su Kun remained silent.
"Dad, you and Mom are alright, is it because..."
“Yes, that’s right.” Su Kun smiled bitterly. “It’s my father’s power. I used the power of regeneration to revive your mother. As for me, I was fine to begin with. I found the Breath Soil, which can extend and grow infinitely, so I’m fine.”
Sang Wusheng snapped out of her daze, looked at Su Kun, reached out and took his hand, their fingers intertwined.
"It's all in the past."
"Yes, yes! Dad, Mom and I are here, along with Bai Hao. Look, Xiao Wei and the others are here too."
The three little ones who were called out lined up and greeted each other in unison, "Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!"
Bai Hao remained silent.
Calling him "brother" and "father-in-law" "grandfather"—what kind of seniority is that?!
But this time, he dared not speak out against his anger.
Su Kun looked at the three well-behaved cubs, smiled happily, and patted each of their heads with a cheerful grin.
"What, trying to comfort your dad? Is that really necessary?"
Although he spoke toughly, the corners of his mouth betrayed him.
Sang Wusheng shook his head and smiled helplessly. What a jerk!
As they were talking, there was a knock on the Qin residence gate, but before any of them could go to greet them, they saw Pi Sheng carrying Murong Xue straight to the backyard.
The two men, one in a suit and the other in a tuxedo, seemed to be busy with something and didn't bother to change before arriving.
Qin Nan greeted Pi Sheng, who hadn't changed much, and Murong Xue, who had undergone a dramatic transformation, with delight.
"Brother Qin! You're really awake!"
Murong Xue, carrying everything, strode up to Qin Nan in her high heels and gave him a hug.
Qin Nan hugged him briefly before letting go.
Pi Sheng caught up and gave him a tight hug.
"Long time no see, you two. Murong has become even more beautiful."
Murong Xue smiled smugly: "Really? Brother Qin, you didn't lie to me. I believe you now!"
"Really." Qin Nan nodded seriously.
The current Murong Xue is different from the quirky and playful one in his memory; instead, she is mature, elegant, and graceful.
"Tsk, I've never lied to you, but you've never believed me."
Pi Sheng looked resentfully at his wife, who was smiling brightly beside him, but Murong Xue simply ignored her. They were an old married couple, and she didn't care about him at all!
"Bai Hao, Qin Nan is really awake?!"
Pi Sheng and Murong Xue had just greeted Su Kun and Sang Wusheng when someone else arrived at the door. Qi Jingtai led Qin Fang in quickly without knocking.
"Hey? It really is Qin Nan, you're awake!"
Qi Jingtai laughed heartily and, just like Pi Sheng, stepped forward and gave him a tight hug.
Qin Fang chuckled and shook his head, then shrugged at Qin Nan, asking for his understanding.
Qin Nan smiled and took the initiative to hug Qin Fang.
Being trapped in a dream for too long, waking up to see friends and family around me feels really good!
Bai Hao watched as Qin Nan was surrounded by a lively crowd, while he couldn't get a turn. He was extremely glad that he had made the wise decision to keep Qin Nan in the room for a good meal as soon as he woke up; otherwise, he would be furious by now.
Just then, Bai Hao suddenly received a WeChat message from Bi Shen.
First, he expressed his concern and greetings about Qin Nan's awakening, then he said that he had something to do and would visit another day, and finally he copied a string of insults sent by Shan You and sent it to Bai Hao.
Bai Hao raised an eyebrow and smiled. Who told Bi Shen and Li You to have so much free time? They would come over to the house whenever Qin Nan was asleep, and sometimes they would even come during the time when he and Qin Nan were exercising.
That's infuriating!
Bai Hao had always been adept at both offense and defense, preventing them from successfully disturbing him. Until last month, Bi Shen calmly witnessed Bai Hao holding the unconscious Qin Nan on his lap, tearing off her clothes and biting her. Li You exclaimed in shock and cursed Bai Hao as a beast.
He held a grudge and plotted for a long time before finally succeeding in drugging the two beasts. Judging from Bi Shen's reaction, it must have been a great success.
Li You didn't reply to the message, most likely because he couldn't, or maybe he hadn't even seen Bai Hao's message.
Anyway, let them be busy. If they're busy, they won't have time to come and hang around often.
"bite--"
He Yan also sent a message saying that Wu Yulin's art exhibition was being held in the capital. Unlike other beasts, he didn't have divine power and was still in the local area, so he would have to come and visit in a few days.
In addition, there were messages from Bai Muqiu and Bai Jue.
Bai Muqiu asked Long Chengxiu to help capture a special kind of thought—the thought of longing. He couldn't come for the time being, but it was also a way of sending his regards. He promised to come over once he was done with his work.
Bai Jue was also supposed to come, in just two or three days.
Bai Hao replied with "Mm," and when he looked up again, the backyard house was packed with people, the house was bustling with noise and excitement.
Qin Nan sat among them, smiling brightly.
Bai Hao put down his phone, gazed at Qin Nan, his eyes filled with tenderness.
