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

Su Weile drove his car on the highway once again, still remembering how he felt when he first arrived.

At the time, I was also very anxious because I was worried about Jin Jiajia.

On this return trip, although things seemed to have been resolved well, for some reason, Su Weile's mood became even heavier.

Looking back on his trip to Jinhai, he felt it was like a dream. His acquaintance and time with Tang Shaowu were even more fantastical.

As she thought about it, Su Weile suddenly scratched her head in frustration. "Damn it, stop thinking about it. The more I think about it, the more upset I get. I don't even know if that older guy can take care of himself. He's like a masochist every day, just enduring the headaches. He'll be a complete idiot from the pain sooner or later."

Frustrated, Su Weile turned on the stereo, played music, and sped towards home.

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

When Su Weile arrived at Yanshan, it was already past 10 p.m. Usually, by this time, his grandparents would have already fallen asleep.

But today, in order to wait for Su Weile, the courtyard of Grandpa's house was still brightly lit, and the aroma of food could be smelled from time to time.

Everything familiar chased away the fatigue from the journey. As soon as Su Weile stepped through the gate, she called out, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm back!"

Su Jun was the first to come out of the house, followed closely by his maternal grandparents. The three of them immediately surrounded Su Weile, and his grandfather asked, "You must be exhausted. You're finally back."

Grandma quickly touched Su Weile's face and said, "Oh dear, my precious little darling, you've gotten so thin! Are you not eating well outside? Don't go out next time. Nothing beats staying home!"

The father patted his son, who was taller than him, and said, "You know Grandpa and Grandma are waiting for you, why didn't you get up earlier? It's so late, you're disturbing their rest. Besides, driving at night is too dangerous."

Su Weile just listened with a smile, not knowing how to respond. She simply said, "Grandpa, Grandma, let's eat! I'm starving. I only ate a small bread in the car."

Everyone quickly welcomed Su Weile, the Su family's precious darling, into the house. She was immediately seated at the table. Her maternal grandparents began serving the dishes. Her father helped set the table, but Su Weile, already impatient, started eating.

Although she had eaten all sorts of delicacies at Tang Shaowu's place during this time, Su Weile still found the taste of home incredibly delicious.

However, when he took his first bite of his grandmother's pickled cucumber, the first thought that flashed through his mind was whether Tang Shaowu, that picky young master, could get used to this kind of pickled vegetable with a rustic, homemade flavor.

The family of four enjoyed a lively meal together. Because of their advanced age, the maternal grandparents couldn't eat too much too late, so they spent most of the time serving food to Su Weile and watching him eat with smiles.

Su Jun didn't say it, but he was very happy that his son was back. He took out the wine and said, "I'm not going back today. Come on, Lele, have a drink with your dad."

While drinking with his father, Su Weile recounted his experiences in Jinhai, though he deliberately omitted many details.

For example, he didn't tell everyone about Jin Jiajia. He only said that Jin Jiajia is doing very well in the company and will be starring in a movie. Although she is not the lead, she has a lot of screen time. Maybe in a while, everyone will be able to see her on TV.

For example, Su Weile omitted the grudges and entanglements between him and Tang Shaowu, and did not talk about their three ups and downs in their friendship. He only talked about how he met a young master in Jinhai. The man was a good person, but his health was not very good and he had been hospitalized. He was super handsome and his smile was very charming. The two of them were already very good friends.

Finally, she emphasized her uncle's situation. She said he was in good health, but looked really old. She mentioned that Su Yicheng had graduated from university and was looking for a job and busy with blind dates. Of course, Su Weile omitted the suspicion and malice that her aunt and Su Yicheng harbored towards her.

But after so many years, with such a close family relationship, how could everyone not know? After Su Weile finished explaining her uncle's situation, the table fell silent for a moment. Su Jun poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Weile's maternal grandparents knew about their son-in-law's feelings; after all, he was their own older brother, getting old, and living so far away without his own children. Su Jun must be worried about him.

Grandpa offered a word of advice, saying, "Su Yicheng seemed quite honest and kind when he was little, so he'll probably be a good person when he grows up. He should be able to take good care of Su Hui, after all, he was raised by him since he was a child."

Su Jun frowned and said, "Yes, I know, Dad. It's just that it's too far away. Otherwise, I could take care of my older brother. He's too lonely by himself."

Su Weile silently took a sip of the white wine her father had poured for her, thinking to herself, "Tang Shaowu is so lonely. His mother passed away early, and his father and stepmother are both unkind to him. He finally has a grandfather, but he's even worse to him. It would be better if he didn't have one."

Su Weile heard her father sigh again, went over and clinked glasses with him, saying, "Su Jun, are you getting old? Where did your courage to pursue my mother go? It's only a short distance from Yanshan to Jinhai, yet it's already stumped you. That's your own brother. If you want to see him, just say so, and I'll take you anytime."

Don't worry about the future. When your uncle gets old, I'll bring him back, and I'll take care of you all together."

Looking at his eldest son, Su Jun felt immense joy and said with tears in his eyes, "Good, good son! Just hearing your words is enough. Dad is not afraid of anything anymore, and has no worries whatsoever."

Su Weile laughed and said, "You didn't have any worries to begin with, so why are you trying to be like the ancients and worry unnecessarily?"

On this night, laughter echoed continuously from the courtyard of Su Weile's maternal grandmother's house. Because of Su Weile, the family became lively and full of joy.

After Su Weile took a shower, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. The lights in her maternal grandparents' room were already off, and snoring could be heard coming from her father's room.

Su Weile returned to her room, where the golden retriever that had been lying next to her during the meal was now peacefully resting on her little bed.

Seeing Su Weile enter, the dog wagged its big tail, refusing to get up. Su Weile laughed and scolded, "Look how lazy you are! You don't even come to greet me when you see me. You're really spoiled, even more arrogant than Young Master Tang."

Su Weile's room didn't have a bed; instead, it was an entire wall of tatami mats. Since he'd always been a restless sleeper, no matter how big the bed was, he'd always end up sleeping on the floor. So they simply got him a tatami mat so he could roll around and sleep on it. Even so, Su Weile once fell off the edge of the tatami mat. His grandmother laughed and said, "We'll have to get Lele a cage someday."

While drying her hair, Su Weile sat down on the tatami mat in her room, picked up her phone and fiddled with it for a long time. She couldn't find any calls or messages from Tang Shaowu.
