After leaving his home, Han Yixian did not rush to the Yuan family's house, but stopped not far from home.
He propped up his bicycle, took Du Yuhan's hand, and said, "Yuhan, I have to go back to Kyoto with Uncle Wang tomorrow, and Liu Gang will be coming back with me too. This trip to Kyoto was too rushed, so I can't take you back with me yet. I need to go back to Kyoto to make some arrangements before I can come pick you up. But don't worry, I'll come pick you up as soon as possible."
Du Yuhan said, "Go back with peace of mind. You've been away from Kyoto for two years, so you'll definitely be busy when you get back. Don't worry about me, I'm very familiar with this place now, and Aunt Han and Uncle Yao are looking after me, so I'll be fine. Don't forget that I've been traveling alone for so long without any problems, right? Just think of it as me going on another long trip."
Han Yixian knew that his little girl was very understanding and independent. He couldn't help but hug Du Yuhan and sighed, saying, "I really can't bear to leave you for a moment. Being with you is like being in heaven, I'm happy every day."
Du Yuhan nestled in Han Yixian's arms, tilted her head back, and laughed, "Then why don't you just stay in heaven?"
Han Yixian playfully pinched Du Yuhan's nose and laughed, "I have to work hard so I can support my wife and our children in the future!"
Du Yuhan punched Han Yixian and laughed, "Who wants to have your baby? Aren't you ashamed?"
Han Yixian said, "That's only natural. Of course we'll have children after we get married. At least seven or eight, that'll make it lively."
Upon hearing this, Du Yuhan punched Han Yixian again and said, "Do you think I'm a sow, giving birth to seven or eight? Let me tell you, I can only have three at most. Any more would be too tiring."
Han Yixian laughed as he saw that Du Yuhan had fallen for his trick, "Okay, let's have three. I don't want to have so many children taking up our time."
Du Yuhan knew immediately that she had fallen for Han Yixian's trick, and said reproachfully, "I'm ignoring you. Hurry up and leave. It's getting dark."
Han Yixian said, "Wait a moment, I have something to give you."
As he spoke, Han Yixian took out a necklace from his pocket, which had a sapphire pendant on it.
He unfolded the necklace and said, "This necklace was left to me by my grandfather. It's a token of our love that I'm giving you, and I hope you'll always wear it."
Du Yuhan looked at the beautiful necklace and liked it very much. She touched the necklace and said, "It's very beautiful, I like it very much. I will wear it forever."
Han Yixian happily rode his bicycle with Du Yuhan towards the Yuan family's house.
Yuan Fengshan and his wife were prepared for Han Yixian's return to Kyoto, because Han Xiao had already called them in advance.
Han Yixian told his aunt and uncle that he was going back to Kyoto the next day.
He was worried about Du Yuhan, so he said to his aunt, "Aunt, Liu Gang and I have left, and Yuhan is all alone in the courtyard. I'm worried about her. If it's not alright, let her move to your house for a while. I'll come and pick her up once I've made arrangements in Kyoto."
Han Xiuqin nodded and said, "Don't worry, go back home. I'll take good care of Yuhan. Let her stay at our house."
Upon hearing this, Du Yuhan quickly refused, saying, "Aunt Han, really, there's no need. I'll be fine on my own. Brother Han, there should be someone watching over the courtyard, so it's perfect for me to stay there by myself. You don't need to worry."
Han Yi could tell that Du Yuhan genuinely didn't want to stay at her aunt's place. Thinking about it, it made sense; staying in the small courtyard would be much more comfortable. It seemed he needed to arrange for Du Yuhan to come to Beijing as soon as possible after returning, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.
Han Yixian said, "Since Yuhan doesn't want to move here, let her live in the courtyard. Have Qiwen go and visit her when he has time."
Now that they've all left, it's no longer appropriate for my little cousin to live in the courtyard. After all, he and Du Yuhan are of different genders, and it's not suitable for just the two of them to live there alone.
Han Yi first thought of Zhou Zhengye. Fortunately, Zhou Zhengye was also being transferred back to Kyoto this time. Otherwise, he would have been even more worried, fearing that Zhou Zhengye would take advantage of the situation.
Zhou Zhengye came to Luancheng with a mission, and now that the mission is complete, it's time for him to go back.
After staying at the Yuan family's house for a while, Han Yixian took Du Yuhan to the Yao family's house to say goodbye.
The next morning, Du Yuhan prepared a lot of food, including breakfast and snacks for Han Yixian and the others to take on the road.
Looking at the steamed white flour buns Du Yuhan had made for them, Wang Zhongquan gave a thumbs-up and said to Han Yixian, "This young lady is generous and genuinely cares about you. You must cherish her. Let's go out first, and you can say goodbye to the young lady properly."
As he spoke, Wang Zhongquan led everyone out of the courtyard to wait for Han Yixian.
Han Yixian went inside to find Du Yuhan, who was still packing food for him, after everyone had gone out.
Seeing that Du Yuhan was still busy, Han Yi stepped forward and hugged her from behind.
Seeing that Du Yuhan was struggling, he said, "Let me hold you for a while. Don't worry, they've all gone out to wait for me. No one will see. Yuhan, you must take good care of yourself before I leave. I'll come back to pick you up."
Du Yuhan was also very reluctant to part with him. She had lived with Han Yixian in this small courtyard for two years, and now that Han Yixian was leaving, she was really sad.
Du Yuhan had a bad feeling that their marriage would encounter setbacks. She always felt that Han Yixian's mother wouldn't let it go easily.
But she couldn't say anything before anything was born; after all, she was Han Yixian's mother. Saying too much wouldn't be good either.
Du Yuhan turned around and looked up at Han Yixian, whose eyes were red, and said, "When you get back to Kyoto, you need to rest. Your leg hasn't fully recovered yet, so take it slow. I brought you some dates and walnuts. Eat some when you have time. These are the easiest things to carry. Take good care of yourself."
Han Yixian nodded, his eyes also red-rimmed, and said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. You must be careful here by yourself. Keep the doors and windows closed. I really don't want to leave you here alone, otherwise you could come with me."
Du Yuhan shook her head and said, "You know that's impossible. You've been away from Kyoto for two years. A lot of things have changed. You'll need time to adjust after you go back, and you'll definitely be very busy. I don't want to distract you by going there, so it's better to stay here for now."
Besides, I need to take care of things here. Don't worry, most people are no match for me. I can take care of myself perfectly well. I'll wait for you to pick me up.
Han Yixian looked at the person imprinted in his heart and felt extremely reluctant to part with him.
But no matter how reluctant we are, there will always be a moment of parting. This separation is for a better future together.
With Du Yuhan seeing him off through tearful eyes, Han Yi got into the car parked at the gate and left the small courtyard where he had lived for two years.
Han Yixian's departure, however, became a calamity he would never forget in his life, and it made him regret returning to the capital countless times.
