Aunt Liu and Teacher Chen looked up when they heard the voice and saw who it was. A smile of surprise immediately appeared on their faces: "Oh, Qingyang is back!"
Lu Qingyang smiled and nodded: "Aunt Liu, Teacher Chen, thank you for your hard work."
However, his gaze had already passed them and was fixed on the person who walked out of the study door after hearing the sound.
Shen Mo stood at the door, holding the book she had just read in her hand.
She seemed a little bit unbelieving, her eyes slightly widened, staring at her husband who looked exhausted but smiling brightly.
I haven't seen you for more than two months, and my longing for you has already entangled my heart like a vine.
She looked at his obviously thinner but still tall figure, and the undisguised passion in his eyes, and felt her heart warm and her nose slightly sour.
"Qingyang?"
It's a surprise and also a confirmation.
"Xiaomo, I'm back." Lu Qingyang's voice was low and gentle, and he walked in front of her in a few steps.
He put down his luggage, opened his arms without hesitation, and hugged his long-lost wife tightly.
The familiar scent of soapberry instantly surrounded Chen Mo, and the warm and solid chest made her heart, which had been wandering for more than two months, finally land steadily.
She closed her eyes and hugged him back tightly, her cheek pressed against his slightly cool collar, feeling the strong heartbeat in his chest.
Thousands of words turned into this silent but affectionate hug.
"Are you tired?" Shen Mo's voice was muffled in his arms, filled with heartache.
"Look at you, look at the children, I'm not tired at all."
Lu Qingyang lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head, greedily absorbing her scent.
At this time, the two neglected little guys seemed to feel the fluctuations of their mother's emotions and the strange embrace, and made dissatisfied babbling sounds.
Aunt Liu and Teacher Chen knew their own limitations and let the young couple spend more time together. They wanted to walk away, but Xiaoyuer stole the show instead.
Only then did Lu Qingyang reluctantly let go of Chen Mo and turned his gaze to the children in their cradles.
He walked to Aunt Liu first, carefully extended his finger, and gently touched his son's chubby little face: "Shitou, do you miss your dad?"
Little Shitou opened his big eyes that looked like Lu Qingyang's and looked at this "stranger" curiously. His little mouth pursed as if he wanted to cry, but he was finally comforted by Lu Qingyang's gentle smile and stretched out his little hands to grab the air randomly.
Lu Qingyang walked to Teacher Chen again and looked at the delicate and pretty daughter Xiaoyuer.
The little girl was quieter than her brother. Her black eyes were very much like Chen Mo's. She looked at him with watery eyes, suddenly opened her toothless mouth, giggled, and waved her little hands.
"Xiao Yu'er recognizes her father, right?" Lu Qingyang's heart was melted by his daughter's innocent smile, and he couldn't help but take the soft little ball from Teacher Chen.
His movements were a little clumsy, but extremely gentle, and he held his daughter steadily in his arms.
Xiao Yuer seemed to like his father's scent very much. He rubbed his little head against his neck and grabbed a strand of his hair with his little hand.
"Look, Xiaoyu'er is kissing you." Shen Mo stood aside, watching this scene, her eyes slightly red, but her face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile.
My husband has returned safely, my children are healthy and lovely, and the years are peaceful and peaceful. Nothing could be better than this.
Shen Mo asked: "Aren't you coming back two days later? Why are you back early?"
"Things over there have been arranged anyway. I came back because there was nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk about the gifts I brought for you."
Lu Qingyang took out two bags and gave one to Teacher Chen and Aunt Liu first, "Everyone has one."
Teacher Chen smiled and declined: "Why are you being so polite?"
"That's right," Aunt Liu agreed, "We have good food and accommodation here. It's a blessing to bring Little Stone and Little Fish with us. How can we return your things?"
Lu Qingyang was very persistent and stuffed the bag into their hands:
"It's nothing expensive. It's just some skin care products I brought back from Hong Kong City. They're for face and hands. I heard the climate there is good for health. These things are also made well. They're a souvenir. Keep them. Don't be polite to me. You've taken care of Xiaomo's child with all your heart. I, Xiaomo, will remember it in my heart."
His tone was sincere and left no room for excuses.
Teacher Chen and Aunt Liu looked at each other, and their hearts were warmed.
Then he accepted it with a smile: "Thank you Qingyang, you are always so thoughtful."
Lu Qingyang smiled with satisfaction when he saw that they accepted it.
As for those fresh dim sum and special snacks that he specially collected from Suicheng and that Shen Mo loved to eat, he had already safely stored them in the small wooden house in the space to preserve their freshness and flavor, just waiting to take them out at the right time to give Shen Mo a surprise.
Aunt Liu and Teacher Chen were both experienced people. Seeing the two children reunited after a long separation, Teacher Chen held Xiao Yuer and winked at Aunt Liu with a smile.
Aunt Liu understood immediately, and gently rocked Little Stone in her arms, and said to Lu Qingyang and Shen Mo, "Qingyang just came back, and he must be exhausted from the journey. Xiaomo, you go in with Qingyang to rest, drink some water, and change into comfortable clothes. Stone and Xiaoyu are very energetic, let's take them to the yard to bask in the sun for a while and talk."
Teacher Chen also smiled and said, "Yes, you two little ones, you haven't seen each other for more than two months. You must have something to whisper to each other. Go ahead, the children have us, don't worry."
Shen Mo felt a little embarrassed by what the two elders said, but she felt even sweeter in her heart.
She glanced at Lu Qingyang secretly and found that he was looking at her with a smile.
Lu Qingyang was naturally happy to do so. He had to be alone with Chen Mo for a while.
He looked again at the two children who were babbling in Aunt Liu and Teacher Chen's arms and looking at him curiously, his heart filled with tenderness.
"Thank you very much, Aunt Liu and Teacher Chen. Let's go clean up first."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Aunt Liu and Teacher Chen responded with a smile, holding the children and turning around tacitly, teasing the little ones to make room for their parents.
The door closed gently, blocking out the early summer noise in the yard.
Lu Qingyang casually placed the bag of "souvenirs" for Shen Mo on the table, but his eyes were fixed on his wife.
The longing for you for more than two months is like a flood that has burst into flames. There is no need to conceal it anymore.
He reached out and hugged Shen Mo tightly in his arms again, this time even more tightly than in the yard, as if he was kneading her into his bones and blood.
"Xiaomo...is finally back."
The two of them hugged each other quietly for a long time, until Lu Qingyang felt Shen Mo seemed to sniff lightly, then he loosened his arms and held her face.
Sure enough, there was a thin layer of mist in those clear eyes, and the corners of the eyes were slightly red.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?"
Shen Mo tilted her head a little embarrassedly and said angrily: "Who is crying... I just... I miss you a little."
After saying this, he blushed first.
Lu Qingyang laughed softly and couldn't help but kiss her smooth forehead: "I miss you too, every minute and every second."
He pulled her to sit down beside the bed and looked at her with burning eyes, "Lu Xiao was just wondering, has my Xiaomo lost weight again? Has she eaten well? Do the two children bother you?"
"I'm fine. Aunt Liu and Teacher Chen take very good care of me, and the children are also very well behaved."
Shen Mo said quickly, not wanting to make him worry, "But you, it's hot and busy over in Suicheng, you must not have had a good rest, you look so thin."
She raised her hand and caressed his slightly thinner cheek lovingly.
"I am a bit busy, but I feel at ease. I am thinking about coming back to see you guys soon. No matter how tired I am, I will be energetic."
"Oh, I almost forgot something." He stood up, walked to the table and picked up the bag, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he blinked mysteriously at Shen Mo, "Close your eyes first."
