Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 274 Just come back
Zhao Xuyang felt someone grab his arm from behind and turned around in surprise.

Then he was even more surprised, his eyes widened, looking at the person who was holding his arm with disbelief.

My throat was full of energy and I wanted to say something, but no words came out.

"Dad, have you forgotten me so quickly?"

Zhao Xuerong's smile was as bright as the sunshine. The midday sun shone brightly on her body, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.

"Little Shell?" Zhao Xuyang's throat moved for a long time before he finally squeezed out a few words.

Xiao Beike is Zhao Xuerong's nickname, her affectionate name, and only her family members call her that.

"It's me, Dad." Zhao Xuerong said.

The reason why she appeared was because she saw her father looking up at the balcony with a hint of sadness in his eyes. It was because she was sitting on the balcony, staring blankly at her mother downstairs. She didn't want to wait any longer, not even for a moment. She wanted to see them and hug them.

And there was a reason why she chose to appear at this time. The sun was shining brightly, the surroundings were empty, and there were even a few pedestrians nearby. Her sudden appearance reduced Zhao Xuyang's fear to the greatest extent.

“How did you…how did you…?”

Zhao Xuyang opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief. He looked up at the sun in the sky, then touched his forehead, feeling that the whole world seemed unreal.

"Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming?"

As he spoke, he lowered his head, looked at his feet, and his expression became stern.

At this moment, Zhao Xuerong suddenly pulled him and said with a smile: "You are not dreaming, look, mom is waving to us."

Zhao Xuerong waved her arms happily towards the balcony.

Qian Sihui, who had been sitting on the balcony in a daze with unfocused eyes, slowly came to her senses and looked at the girl downstairs who was holding her husband's arm with a look of surprise.

"Snowy?"

She stood up immediately and shouted downstairs through the guardrail.

"Xue Rong." Her voice trembled slightly.

"Mom~"

Zhao Xuerong waved again.

"Little shell."

It was definitely her daughter. Without a second thought, Qian Sihui turned around and ran into the house, then went out and downstairs...

"Mom is coming down, let's hurry up and don't delay." Zhao Xuerong pulled Zhao Xuyang's arm again.

Zhao Xuyang finally came to his senses and staggered to keep up with Zhao Xuerong's pace, but before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at the ground.

On the ground, there was only his own shadow.

He turned to his daughter again and a smile appeared on his face.

"What's wrong? What are you laughing at?" Zhao Xuerong asked with some confusion.

"Nothing. Did you have lunch at home?" Zhao Xuyang asked in a very natural way.

This made Zhao Xuerong a little dazed.

After nodding, he felt something was wrong and asked quickly, "Don't you have any questions for me?"

"Yes." Zhao Xuyang said.

"go ahead."

Zhao Xuerong looked as if to say, "Just ask."

"Are you a little shell?"

"Of course." Zhao Xuerong raised her eyebrows.

"Your name is Zhao Xuerong?"

"What else?" Zhao Xuerong was a little surprised when she heard that.

"Are you my daughter?"

"Of course." Zhao Xuerong was even more confused when she heard that.

"Okay, I'm done asking questions. Go home quickly. Your mother must be waiting anxiously."

This time, Zhao Xuyang took the initiative to pull her and hurried home.

"Is that all you have asked? Don't you have anything else to ask me?" Zhao Xuerong was a little confused by her father's attitude.

"No, these are enough." Zhao Xuyang said.

"It's really weird."

Zhao Xuerong said this, but she let go of Zhao Xuyang's arm and held his hand while he looked at her in surprise.

"When I was little, my father would pull me up and down the stairs like this every day."

Zhao Xuyang smiled when he heard this.

“I forgot to buy fish.”

"I like pork ribs, too." Zhao Xuyang was stunned when he heard that, then smiled and said, "Then I'll make my best glutinous rice pork ribs for lunch."

Zhao Xuerong smiled and said, "You are good at this because this dish is the easiest to make, right? You often used this dish to fool me when I was little."

"Just tell me whether you like it or not?"

"Love to eat."

"That's okay."

"Xuerong, little shell...mother's little shell..."

Just then, a shouting voice was heard in the corridor.

"Mom~"

Zhao Xuerong let go of her father's hand and ran up the stairs.

"Little shell."

Seeing her daughter coming towards her, Qian Sihui hugged her.

Zhao Xuerong was almost knocked down by the impact, and she was so frightened that she was in a panic.

Only then did Zhao Xuerong realize that she had not had time to change her shoes and ran out in just her socks.

"Mom~"

Looking at her haggard mother in front of her, Zhao Xuerong didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Fortunately, Zhao Xuyang came up from behind at this time.

"We'll talk about it when we get home."

"Yes, go home... let's go home..."

Qian Sihui grabbed her daughter's wrist and walked home. Zhao Xuerong found that she was particularly strong.

When she got home, Zhao Xuerong took a deep breath and decided to explain everything to them.

But before she could speak, Qian Sihui asked first: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"I'm not hungry, Mom~"

"Then drink some water. Mom bought your favorite fruit tea. I'll make you a cup..."

"Mom, don't bother, just sit down, I have something to tell you."

Zhao Xuerong pulled Qian Sihui and sat down on the red wooden sofa.

This wooden sofa is older than she is. Except for some paint peeling on the legs, the whole thing is bright red and looks very beautiful.

Zhao Xuerong turned around and said to Zhao Xuyang who was about to go to the kitchen: "Dad, come here too. I have something to tell you."

"No need, just tell your mother and I'll cook for you." Zhao Xuyang turned around and gave a forced smile.

"Come here and sit down."

Zhao Xuerong patted the seat beside her with a serious look on her face.

"Oh."

Zhao Xuyang sighed, then walked over to her and sat down obediently, not knowing who was the child and who was the adult.

"Before I speak, you must be mentally prepared." Zhao Xuerong took a deep breath and said.

"You'd better stop talking. We don't want to listen." Zhao Xuyang and Qian Sihui said in unison.

"You have to listen even if you don't want to." Zhao Xuerong said unhappily.

"Then...then you tell me." Qian Sihui held her hand and said in a low voice.

"I'm dead." Zhao Xuerong said.

The two looked at each other, Qian Sihui hummed softly, and Zhao Xuyang nodded.

"Aren't you surprised at all?" Zhao Xuerong said speechlessly.

"Why are you surprised? I buried your ashes myself." Zhao Xuyang said rationally.

"Yes, I chose your grave myself." Qian Sihui said.

Zhao Xuerong: ...

She opened her mouth to continue explaining, but was interrupted by Qian Sihui.

"Would you please stop talking?"

She looked at Zhao Xuerong with a pleading look on her face.

"Nothing else matters, as long as you come back." Zhao Xuyang said in a deep voice.

"Mom, Dad... woo woo woo..."

Zhao Xuerong sobbed softly, and her voice became louder as she cried...
