We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Su Weile traveled non-stop from Jinhai to Yanshan, passing through four service areas. Except for one trip to the restroom, he spent the rest of the time on the road.

As the car sped along, he felt a sense of desolation, as if he were getting further and further away from Tang Shaowu.

He suddenly felt sorry for Tang Shaowu, thinking that he himself was also experiencing the pain of parting.

But at the same time, there was also anticipation and excitement about meeting his maternal grandparents and father.

He felt that the neutralizing effect of these two emotions could prevent him from feeling so bad.

Just like Grandma once said, as long as a person has hope in their heart, then there will be something to strive for in life.

But what about Tang Shaowu? After he left, did he lose all hope in his heart?

All that remains is the sorrow of parting, with no new hopes.

At this moment, Su Weile was extremely grateful that she had changed her birthday gift to the promise that Tang Shaowu could live a good life.

That was such a wise decision. But, but, that sports car was just so damn cool!!

------------------------------

Su Weile felt she received the highest level of hospitality upon returning home. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was greeted with a welcoming party.

Before the car even entered the familiar alley, two rows of people were already waiting at the alley entrance.

Su Weile couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

Upon seeing his car, everyone waved and laughed.

Su Weile looked at her maternal grandparents, her father, Tie Tou, her older brother Jin Yi, and several uncles who had watched her grow up, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

The car window rolled down. "This is quite a grand affair! I'm a little overwhelmed!"

Tie Tou laughed and said, "You should get off the bus quickly, don't get frightened there."

Su Weile laughed and scolded, "Damn it, you're the one who's 'getting fertilized'!"

Laughter filled the air, and the joyful atmosphere infected every passerby.

Tang Shaowu prepared those gifts, and even with so many people moving them together, it took them quite a while.

"Damn, Xiao Le, all of these were given to you by your friend? Not bad, Jin Hai's buddies are pretty generous." Tie Tou said with a grin.

"Brother Su, I saw the wine you like to drink! We've got our drinks sorted for today," said one of Su Jun's close friends.

Su Weile smiled as she looked at the things Tang Shaowu had prepared, feeling both happy and a little heartache.

In the evening, everyone ate barbecue and drank wine in the courtyard of my maternal grandfather's house, and they were as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.

Su Weile, Jin Yi, Tie Tou, and the others sat around the barbecue grill, eating and chatting as they went, and they were also responsible for bringing the grilled food to the big table.

Tie Tou stared at Su Weile for a while, then couldn't help but say, "Le, I feel like you've changed a lot since you left a few months ago."

Jin Yi was grilling meat skewers when he looked up but didn't say anything.

Su Weile asked in bewilderment, "Huh? Changed? How could I change? Did I become more handsome?"

Iron Head ate the fragrant grilled meat and thought, "I have to say, he really has become more handsome. But besides that, I feel like something else is different. Is it that he's matured?"

Su Weile laughed and said, "What change? I'm still the same. Maybe my hairstyle has changed."

Because Tang Shaowu always liked to touch the ends of his hair at the back of his neck, playing with them by swishing his fingers around.

So each time he got a haircut, he told the barber not to cut the back of his hair too short. Over time, his hair gradually transformed into the short, mullet-like style he has now.

Tie Tou looked at it carefully and said in a puzzled tone, "Is it just the shape of the head? Oh dear, I can't really say what's different."

"Hey, your hairstyle looks amazing! You look so cool! How about I get one like that?"

Jin Yi looked up in fright, staring at Tie Tou's dark skin, short neck, and round face, and frowned, saying, "I advise you not to make things difficult for the barber."

Su Weile laughed so hard she could barely breathe, saying, "Who told you to always be headbutting others when you were little, making your head so flat, like a tabletop? You should just get a buzz cut."

Tie Tou, still unwilling to give up, looked at Su Weile. "This kid looks so much more handsome since he came back. Is Jin Hai really that good at raising people? I'll go too."

Su Jun, sipping the wine he had been craving for so long, exclaimed, "Wow, this wine is truly excellent!!"

Everyone praised it highly. One of Sun Sujun's good friends said:

"Brother Jun, Lele is so handsome! Look at this handsome young man, he's way more handsome than those celebrities or internet stars. I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to marry him in the future."

"Yeah, a guy as handsome and nice as Lele, I'm not bragging, if Lele is second, then no one can say he's first."

Su Jun looked at his son and sighed. Time flies. In the blink of an eye, his only son was already twenty and a young man.

He never really noticed how his son had always been around him, but now that he'd been gone for so long, Su Jun felt like his son had suddenly grown up.

It was nearly midnight before everyone dispersed. Su Weile had just returned from a long journey, so the task of taking the uncles home fell to Jin Yi.

Su Jun followed everyone out and specifically pulled Jin Yi aside to ask in a low voice, "How did it go? Did he say anything?"

Jin Yi glanced back. Then he said, "Tie Tou and I both asked him, but he didn't say anything. He seemed alright, just a little melancholy."

Su Jun nodded. "If he doesn't tell you anything, I probably won't get any information out of him even if I ask."

Do you think he would stay out that long if there wasn't something going on? But even if he has a girlfriend, there's nothing he can't say, right?

Su Jun asked again, "Are you sure it's not with Jiajia?"

Jin Yi nodded and said, "It's definitely not Jiajia. I asked her directly this time, and she said it was absolutely not her, and she has hardly ever seen Lele."

Lele simply told her to let her know if she needed any help. Otherwise, she didn't actively seek her out. Even this time, Jiajia only found out Lele was back after I told her.

Su Jun frowned and said, "Okay, I understand. You take them back first, and I'll ask him about it later tonight."

When Su Jun returned to the courtyard, Su Weile and Tie Tou had already gone back inside. Tie Tou had drunk a bit too much and was asleep on the sofa.

Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, Su Jun sat down on the sofa next to it and waited.

After taking a shower, Su Weile sighed softly as she looked at the marks all over her body in the mirror.

Tang Shaowu's energy every time he comes up is no different from that of a wild animal. The marks from pinching and biting all over his body probably won't disappear even after he goes home this week.

Thankfully it wasn't summer, otherwise he wouldn't know how to cover up all those blue and purple marks on his body.

When Su Weile came out of the bathroom, she saw her father sitting on the sofa and was startled. She subconsciously covered her neck with her hand.

Then he saw that Su Jun was holding his own phone, and his heart skipped a beat.

Su Weile felt her scalp tingle.
