Chapter 294 Gap
"We were all in a good mood and had a few too many drinks, so I got back a little late. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!" he said, giving a slightly apologetic smile.
Just then, Dai Zheng heard the noise and quickly came out of the house.
With a kind smile on his face, his gaze first fell on Dai Xingyun, then turned to the car parked outside the door, and asked, "Xiao Liangzi, would you like to come in and sit down?"
"Thank you, Uncle Dai! We'll let it go this time. It's getting late, and we have other things to do, so we'll head back now. We'll definitely come over another day to have tea and chat with you!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the roar of an engine filled the air, and the car sped away like an arrow, quickly disappearing at the end of the road.
"Second Uncle, you're back too!" Dai Xingyun was initially surprised, then rushed forward to greet him.
He greeted his second uncle, his bright eyes sparkling with undisguised joy.
Looking at his energetic nephew, Dai Zheng smiled warmly and nodded gently, replying, "Yes, Xingyun, I'm back."
“I’ve been very busy these past few years. I heard that you’re healthier now and I’m no longer worried about you. I also heard that you got into Kyoto University.”
"This is also a great joy! None of us in the Dai family are good at studying, and you finally passed the exam. It's like our ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."
“Your grandparents wanted me to take the exam, but now that you've passed, the pressure on me is less, and I'm finally not afraid of being forced to study anymore.”
"It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be, Uncle. Grandpa and Grandma just want you to get into university so they can stay by your side," Dai Xingyun explained with a smile.
"It's that exaggerated. You just happened to get home today, and your grandpa was overjoyed when he found out. He's been looking forward to seeing you, and he's called my office several times to urge me to come back soon."
As Dai Zheng spoke, he took the heavy luggage from Dai Xingyun's hands and strode into the house.
Seeing this, Dai Xingyun quickly followed and stayed close behind his second uncle.
A short while later, they entered the hall.
At this moment, Grandpa Dai and Grandma Dai had already come downstairs and were sitting on the sofa waiting for everyone, their faces beaming with kind smiles.
"Grandpa and Grandma, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
Dai Xingyun quickly walked to the two elderly people, took three steps at a time, reached out and carefully helped the old lady up, his face full of concern, and asked softly.
"Oh dear, as people get older, they become sleepy faster than rabbits, and naturally, they sleep less!"
Grandpa Dai responded cheerfully with a kind and friendly smile on his face.
However, he made no mention of the fact that he and his wife had been tossing and turning in their room, unable to sleep, and were filled with hope that their beloved grandson would return safely.
How could Dai Xingyun not see through the clues? He was deeply moved and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm so sorry, Grandpa and Grandma. I promise I'll come home as soon as I get back next time."
"Hey, it's nothing, it's nothing. We just woke up and happened to hear some noise downstairs, so we came down to check. We didn't come here just to wait for you!"
Grandpa Dai deliberately turned his head away, striking a slightly arrogant pose.
"Okay, Grandpa and Grandma didn't wait for me, so you should go to sleep now, it's getting late!" Dai Xingyun said with a smile to coax the two elderly people.
"Okay, your grandpa and I are going to bed now. Don't dawdle, wash up and go to bed early. If anything comes up, we can talk about it tomorrow!"
The old lady looked at Dai Xingyun with loving eyes, her gaze full of care and affection, and her tone was exceptionally gentle.
"Okay, goodnight, Grandpa and Grandma! Sweet dreams!" Dai Xingyun smiled and waved to the two elderly people, watching them slowly walk into the room before turning around.
Then, he called out to his parents and uncle who were still in the living room, "Mom and Dad, Uncle, you should go and rest too! I'll put those things in my room for now, and we can tidy them up slowly tomorrow."
Hearing this, the couple agreed. Liang Xinxing then remembered something and said, "Oh, right, I already boiled the water for you. It's right there. Hurry up and go wash up. Don't stay up too late, you need to get some rest." After saying that, she and Dai Zhan left the living room together.
After everyone had left, Dai Xingyun tiptoed to his bundle and carefully took out clean clothes to change into.
He walked briskly to the bathroom and splashed warm water on his tired body.
After taking a bath, Dai Xingyun felt refreshed and invigorated.
Finally, he returned to his room, gently climbed into bed, covered himself with the soft blanket, and lay down comfortably.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent, with only his even breathing echoing softly in the quiet night...
He fell asleep without thinking about anything. He was exhausted from the train journey these past few days. He hadn't even had a chance to rest after getting off the train today, and then he ate so late. Even though Dai Xingyun had built up his physique over the years, he couldn't withstand this kind of torment.
Xiahou Jie arrived home, and everyone was asleep. It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed.
Xiahou Jie grew up relying on his father, who was always busy with military affairs. He basically grew up in Daixingyun's family.
Xiahou Jie made up the quilt himself, too lazy to boil water, and simply lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Shen Xiaoxiao got up early in the morning and went to the market with Ma Aning and his wife, each carrying a large basket on their backs.
