Meeting you in autumn

Looking at her daughter's confident demeanor, Si Yun couldn't help but shake her head helplessly and chuckle softly.

Afterwards, the two chatted with Si Yun for a while, sharing some interesting things that happened at school that day, before returning to their respective rooms to rest.

As soon as she got back to her room, Guan Yu didn't even bother to take off her shoes before hurriedly dialing Jing Yi's video call.

But when the connection was established, she found that it was pitch black on Jing Yi's end, and she could hardly see anything.

Filled with curiosity, she couldn't help but frown and ask in confusion, "Ah Yi, where exactly are you? Why is it so dark?"

Jing Yi's deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the receiver: "I'm taking care of some things at the old house right now, I'm out here."

"Oh, I see." Guan Yu responded, then suddenly seemed to remember something, a slight smile playing on her lips as she continued, "Ayi, tell me honestly, have you missed me?"

Upon hearing her question, Jing Yi's face, hidden in the darkness, instantly blossomed into an extremely gentle smile, and she replied in a tone full of doting affection, "Of course I miss her, I think about our Ayu all the time."

Guan Yu was filled with excitement and joy upon hearing the sweet whispers from the other end of the phone.

Guan Yu and Jing Yi then chatted for a long time until they felt sleepy and hung up the phone.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Guan Yu's face. She stretched and got up to wash.

While having breakfast, Aunt Su told her that guests would be coming to the house today. Guan Yu was a little curious, but didn't ask any further questions.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, the doorbell rang. Guan Yu opened the door and was surprised to see Shen Chen standing there. She exclaimed in delight, "Ah!! Brother Chen!"

Similarly, the moment Shen Chen saw Guan Yu, his face immediately lit up with an uncontrollable excitement, as if he had seen the most precious treasure in the world.

Without hesitation, he threw what he was tightly clutching to the person following closely behind him, then suddenly opened his arms and pulled Guan Yu into a tight embrace.

The embrace was filled with strength and longing. It lasted only a short while before he released his hands, but his gaze never left Guan Yu's face, the face that haunted his dreams.

"Xiaoyu, I miss you so much, I've come to take you home!" Shen Chen's voice trembled slightly, filled with deep affection and longing.

The moment Guan Yu saw Shen Chen, the joy in her heart erupted like a volcano.

However, when the words "I've come to take you home" reached her ears, all the emotions that had been building up inside her burst forth instantly, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably like beads from a broken string.

Upon seeing this, Shen Chen felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He hurriedly reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Guan Yu's cheeks, constantly comforting her, "Little Yu, don't cry, don't cry. If I make you cry, Brother Yu will beat me to death."

Upon hearing Shen Chen's words, Guan Yu couldn't help but sob and then burst into laughter.

She lifted her tear-streaked face, a hint of expectation in her eyes, and asked eagerly, "Is my brother here too?"

"He asked me to pick you up and take you home. He had something come up and couldn't get away," Shen Chen replied truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu's joyful and expectant expression immediately dimmed, and she lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat dejected.

Just then, Shen Chen was about to say something when he suddenly saw Feng Ming rushing out of the room.

When Feng Ming caught sight of Shen Chen standing at the door, he froze, his mouth agape. It took him a while to recover before he exclaimed in shock, "Brother Shen Chen, what brings you here?"

Shen Chen gazed quietly at Feng Ming, who had shed the naivety of three years ago and was now sunny and handsome, and felt a surge of emotions.

He slowly raised his hand and gently patted Feng Ming's broad and sturdy shoulder. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of warmth and kindness, and he said, "I missed you all, so I came."

Just as Feng Ming was about to ask something, Aunt Su's familiar and kind voice came from inside the house: "Hey, you silly children, why are you still standing at the door? Come in quickly, the door has always been open."

Hearing Aunt Su's call, the children snapped out of their daze, looking a little embarrassed.

Shen Chen hurriedly instructed the people behind him to take all the large and small bags of gifts they had brought into the house, and then waved to indicate that they could leave first.

After everything was settled, the group finally sat down comfortably in the living room.

Shen Chen turned to look at Aunt Su, who was busy making tea for everyone, and said sincerely, "Aunt Su, I am really grateful for your meticulous care for the two of them over the past three years. If it weren't for you, I don't know what Yu-ge would have done."

"Oh dear, what are you saying, child! This is what I should do. We're all family, don't be so formal. If you keep being so polite with me, I might really get angry!"

Aunt Su glared at Shen Chen with feigned anger, but her hands continued to make tea without stopping.

Seeing that Aunt Su seemed genuinely unhappy, Shen Chen didn't dare say anything more and could only offer an understanding smile, then drop the matter.

After a brief pause, Shen Chen seemed to suddenly remember something important and turned to Xiao Yu, who was sitting obediently to the side, and said, "Xiao Yu, Brother Yu asked me to pick you up and take you home to live in City A."

However, upon hearing this, Feng Ming immediately asked excitedly, "When are we leaving?"

The morning after tomorrow

When Guan Yu heard that she would be leaving the day after tomorrow, her face, which had been beaming with joy, instantly fell flat, like a wilted eggplant.

She frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation and reluctance in her eyes, and asked softly, "Could you not leave yet?"

Upon hearing Guan Yu's words, Shen Chen's face showed a hint of surprise. He quickly asked, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with Aunt Su?"

At this moment, Aunt Su, who had been silently observing them from the side, couldn't help but laugh and tease them when she saw this situation: "Oh dear, Xiaoyu, don't worry! Even if you leave first, Aunt Su will definitely come to visit you often."

At this moment, Aunt Su, who had been silently observing them from the side, couldn't help but laugh and tease them when she saw this situation: "Oh dear, Xiaoyu, don't worry! Even if you leave first, Aunt Su will definitely come to visit you often."

However, Guan Yu did not change her mind because of Aunt Su's comfort. She still firmly shook her head, put her hands together in front of her chest, and looked at everyone with pleading eyes.

She pleaded pitifully, "I really don't want to go back yet. Can I wait a few more days? Please..."
