Age: My Small World

In the evening, Yang Jun naturally went home.

It's already June, and he's been away for a full month, making his mother and second sister very worried.

Seeing him return safely, the two were naturally overjoyed.

“You never even write a letter when you go out, making your second sister and me so worried.”

Li Xiaohua knew that Yang Jun often went out, but she wouldn't go around asking her son what he was doing.

Yang Yumei, however, asked bluntly, "Xiaoshan, what exactly did you go out to do this time? You're being so mysterious. Is something wrong at school? But Xiaoyuer didn't say anything."

"Hehe, it's a secret."

Yang Jun shook his head. He wouldn't talk about this kind of thing with his family, especially since it involved top secrets that couldn't be revealed.

Yang Yumei pouted helplessly: "Fine, I won't say then."

"By the way, Xiaoyuer doesn't know you're back yet. Should we send her a telegram?"

Because it was too far from the sports academy, they couldn't possibly run over there late at night to talk to Xiaoyuer.

"No need, I'll go to school tomorrow and just drop by to see her." Yang Jun shook his head.

"alright."

Then Mom started cooking again, this time taking out all the flour in the house to cook a bowl of noodles for Yang Jun.

Yang Jun really loves this dish, and with the eggplant and minced meat that his mother specially cooked, the taste is absolutely amazing.

The aroma of meat wafted through the courtyard, making countless people salivate.

The next day.

Yang Jun finally returned to school.

Instead of going directly to the classroom, I came to the dormitory first.

Because he arrived so early, Wang Chong and the others were still asleep.

"Who is it, knocking on the door so early in the morning?"

Wang Chong rubbed his eyes and opened the door, thinking it was someone from next door, but it turned out to be Yang Jun.

His sleeping eyelids twitched open immediately.

"Hey, Jun-ge, you've finally decided to come back! What have you been up to for the past month?"

Yang Jun's request for a month's leave naturally aroused the curiosity of his roommates, but he had no intention of telling them.

He could only chuckle and say, "Would you believe me if I said I went to maintain world peace?"

Wang Chong rolled his eyes: "Those foreign devils are already terrified of us, what's there to be unpeaceful about?"

To be honest, the confidence I've built up over the past decade still makes everyone feel incredibly proud when they talk about it.

Wang Chong could tell that Yang Jun didn't intend to say more, so he didn't ask.

The two of them entered the dormitory, which naturally woke up Lego and Lu Liangjun. However, it was already time for class, so they had to get up, get dressed, and then the four of them went to the classroom together.

"Jun-ge, you're the best! You bought us big steamed buns as soon as you got back."

Lego is biting into a steamed bun, looking incredibly happy.

Yang Jun had come specifically to bring breakfast to the group.

The relationship with classmates is secondary; the key is that he rarely has any friends, so naturally, people will care about him.

Sun doesn't need the kind of friendship that comes with work; it's unrealistic to apply that to real life. The reality is that he's still a student, and hanging out with his classmates is the best thing for him.

Moreover, all of them will definitely be able to obtain decent positions after graduation, so maintaining the relationship is only right.

Yang Jun doesn't lack connections; what he lacks are people he can talk to in the future. "I'll bring them for you again tomorrow, but you'll have to ask me to come back after you're assigned a job."

"Absolutely! I'll treat you all to a meal at a state-run restaurant." Lego patted his chest and made the promise.

"Brother Le, we all heard what you said, don't go back on your word later." Wang Chong chuckled.

“I can’t be stingy with every meal,” Lego shrugged.

When the group arrived at the classroom, Yang Jun's return attracted the attention of a few classmates. However, most people didn't think much of it. Many students take leave, and not everyone can graduate smoothly.

Xu Yan was probably the one who was most concerned about this, and she asked a few more questions.

After class, Yang Jun first went to the Sports Academy to comfort the delighted Cheng Xiaoyu, and then went to Populus euphratica Village.

Gu Nanke was pregnant after all, so he was quite worried.

And with her due date next month, her belly must be quite big.

After arriving at Populus euphratica village, he hurriedly returned home.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Gu Nanke respectfully seeing Master Hu off at the door.

"Your baby has shifted slightly recently, so you may have some abdominal pain. Remember to take more walks and don't lie down all the time."

"Alright, don't bother seeing me off, I'll just go back by myself."

"Thank you, Eighth Master. I have remembered your instructions. Please take care."

Just as Hu Baye was about to leave, he noticed someone watching him. He looked over and saw Yang Jun smiling, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"You came back without saying a word, what are you doing standing here?"

Hearing the commotion, Gu Nanke peeked out to observe. Upon seeing Yang Jun, her face lit up instantly, and she stood at the doorway, calling out sweetly, "Xiao Shan..."

All the longing in my heart turned into a cry.

“Master, I didn’t expect Elder Min to come to visit Nanke today. We’ve run into him. Please come in and sit for a while.”

He pulled Hu Baye into the house, and as they passed the door, he wiped away the tears from Gu Nanke's eyes.

"Alright, let's go inside."

Gu Nanke is, after all, a sentimental woman; she cries too easily.

There was a teacup left on the table inside, clearly the one that Uncle Hu had used earlier.

He didn't need to change it; he took another sip from his teacup.

"The old man is getting in the way here, why don't you go back first?" he said with a chuckle, clearly noticing that the young couple missed each other quite a bit.

Yang Jun chuckled and said, "Master, why are you in such a hurry? We still need to catch up properly."

"Xiaoshan, you and your master sit down and chat first, I'll go cook."

Gu Nanke looked at all this with a happy expression, feeling very satisfied. This was the life she wanted.

He then headed towards the kitchen.

Yang Jun stood up and pulled her back.

He gently stroked her already enormous belly and said tenderly, "You don't need to do such a small thing. You sit down and rest. I'll take care of it. Besides, Master prefers my cooking."

"Xiaoshan is absolutely right. The old man has nothing but praise for his cooking skills."

At first, Yang Jun's cooking skills were only average, but as time went by, his cooking became better and better. Now, Hu Baye really thinks it tastes delicious. He doesn't taste the same when he usually cooks it himself, and he even eats less rice.

Since even Master Hu had spoken, Gu Nanke had no choice but to nod. However, she didn't intend to sit idly by and said, "Master Hu said I should take more walks, so I'll help you pick the vegetables."

Yang Jun didn't stop them this time, and the two of them started cooking together. They were quite fast, and in no time they had made three or four dishes, and the portions were quite large. (End of this chapter)
