Su Yayan turned to look at Huo Chenhuan and smiled. “We all think that boys and girls are the same. Let nature take its course.”
Zheng Qianyang nodded. He was just asking casually. He did not mean anything else as long as the two of them knew what was going on.
It was almost dark when Zheng Qianyang arrived. It was already a little late after dinner.
Su Yayan knew that Zheng Qianyang owned a house in the city, but it was a little far from their place. Moreover, he might not be able to clean it up in time to move in right away.
Su Yayan then invited Zheng Qianyang to stay at their home. If they were living under the eaves of the same house, sooner or later, the relationship between the two would be able to change for the better.
Zheng Qianyang originally did not intend to stay. When he heard that Su Yayan wanted him to stay for the time being, he subconsciously glanced at Huo Chenhuan.
Seeing that he did not object, he unexpectedly agreed.
Considering that Zheng Qianyang must be tired from the long journey, after dinner, Su Yayan asked Uncle Zhang to take him upstairs to rest.
Uncle Zhang was obviously very happy with Zheng Qianyang’s arrival, and the smile on his face had never left.
Uncle Zhang led Zheng Qianyang into the guest room that had been prepared beforehand and did not forget to smile and say, “This is the room that Young Master and Young Madam specially prepared for you. The basic daily necessities are all placed inside. If you have any other needs, you can tell me. I will do my best to help you.”
“Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
“Sir, you are too polite. There’s nothing much. You should rest early too.”
“Alright.”
Zheng Qianyang nodded. Just as he was about to close the door, Uncle Zhang called out again, “Sir.”
“Anything else?”
Uncle Zhang looked at the man who had been away from home for more than ten years. He felt a sense of familiarity but also a sense of strangeness. He said sincerely, “Welcome home.”
Zheng Qianyang’s body trembled. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the doorknob, and his eyes revealed a rare expression of emotion.
Zheng Qianyang was not unfamiliar with the guest room of the Huo family’s old mansion. When Huo Chenhuan’s parents were still alive, he often stayed over. Even when Huo Chenhuan was just born, there was a period of time when both adults were busy, moreover, he was old and did not have enough energy, so he was the one who helped to take care of him.
Zheng Qianyang walked around the room, and his eyes suddenly fell on the photo that was placed on the bedside.
It was a photo of four people. The corner of the photo was slightly yellow. It must have been dug out recently to see the light of day again.
The four people in the photo were Huo Chenhuan’s parents, Huo Chenhuan as a child, and… a younger version of him.
This photo was taken on Huo Chenhuan’s fifth birthday, and it was the only photo of four people. He did not expect it to be found and placed in this room.
Looking at the photo, he thought of the peaceful dinner that night and Uncle Zhang’s words before he left. The mask on Zheng Qianyang’s face was peeling off bit by bit, and his eyes could not help but turn red.
After an unknown amount of time, a vague and hoarse voice came from the empty but dense room, “Sister, brother-in-law, I’m back.”
Zheng Qianyang was a little emotional because of the photo in the room.
Little did he know that his nephew was also being criticized by his wife in another room about ten meters away from him.
“You behaved badly today. I have to teach you a good lesson.”
“How did I behave badly today?” Huo Chenhuan did not admit his mistake at all. He even leaned over to Su Yayan and kissed her. He said meaningfully, “And, how are you going to teach me a lesson?”
