Hei Yang couldn't help but complain, "It looks exactly like someone loitering in front of the teacher's office..."
"Hello, this is what we found..."
A staff member from the post station approached and handed Hei Yang's exclusive post station token back to him: "There are two replies for you. Please confirm them..."
"Oh ho, thanks..."
Hei Yang quickly accepted the gift and thanked him. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Oh, by the way, what about the token with the post station code 080*****339? Have you received a reply?"
"Um, may I ask who you are...?"
The staff at the post station tentatively inquired.
"Collection on behalf of others".
Hei Yang answered skillfully: "The answer to the first question is gray, the second question is a suspense novel, and the third question is a mosquito."
"Oh, please wait a moment..."
The staff member paused, turned back to confirm, and returned shortly with two more letters in his hand: "Please confirm this. Also, we need to register the collection on your behalf so we can proceed later..."
"Well……"
Hongli turned her head away, rummaged through her storage bag, took out her post station token, glanced at Heiyang, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, so how come you were able to take out my letter without a token? How did you know the questions and answers I set? I don't even remember them myself!"
Hei Yang: "..."
"you guess……"
Hei Yang said speechlessly, "Why can't you remember?"
"Ah?"
Hongli tilted her head: "Why? Did you secretly erase my memories?"
"..."
Hei Yang glanced at Hong Li: "Have you forgotten that I set up all those problems for you?"
Hongli: "!!!"
"Damn! It seems so!"
Hongli was shocked: "How could this be!"
"Because you were too lazy to go, I was the one who applied."
Hei Yang said expressionlessly, "Remember? I was the one who brought your token back to you."
"Ah, hahaha..."
Hongli chuckled awkwardly, "It seems so, indeed, that was many years ago..."
"They're just trying to change the subject."
Hei Yang rolled his eyes, walked out of the post station, and looked at the four letters in his hand. Hmm, he knew without guessing that each of the two sets of parents had written one letter.
"Honestly, don't you know it would be cheaper to ship them together..."
Hei Yang was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly slapped his mouth: "Pah, pah, what the hell do you mean by sending them together, sending them together, sending them together? Cough cough, the kid's just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously..."
What are you muttering about over there?
Hongli frowned and looked at Heiyang: "What did the letter say?"
"I haven't opened it yet."
Hei Yang rolled his eyes: "I should be the one complaining about you! Why are you still dawdling outside? Hurry up and go inside!"
"Hmm, something about what you said feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on why..."
"Don't change the subject!"
"Oh, I see."
Hongli tugged at a tuft of hair, pulling it irritably, "So you should see what Mom and Dad say first. What if they don't let us go back? I'll be in trouble if I go in now!"
"It's a good thing I'm not next to you right now, otherwise I would have kicked you in."
Hei Yang complained as he walked home.
He first opened his mother Qingyiyi's letter. The familiar, delicate handwriting stirred a ripple in Heiyang's heart, and the emotion called longing continued to amplify.
"Well, Mom said..."
Hei Yang read the letter carefully and said softly, "Yes, Mom said that if you want to come back, then come back. Once you've decided on something, you have to act quickly."
We can't always procrastinate like we do at home, otherwise it will make others uncomfortable, because people outside won't be tolerant of us..."
"Phew... I see..."
Hongli pursed her lips and sighed, "Okay, I'm going home now!"
Hongli took a deep breath, looked at the door, and knocked gently!
"Squeak..."
Surprisingly, the door was unlocked. Standing at the door, one could see Elder Huo sitting at a table, frowning and intently fiddling with a spirit stone in his hand.
Hearing the door open, he turned around in confusion and saw Hong Li standing stiffly outside the door, about to greet him...
"boom!"
The spirit stone in Elder Huo's hand suddenly exploded, blackening his kind old face and leaving only a pair of puzzled eyes visible.
Hongli: "!!!"
"Sorry to bother you!"
Hong Li's heart skipped a beat, and she slammed the door shut again: "Bang!"
What are you babbling about?
Hei Yang was engrossed in reading his mother's letter when he suddenly heard a noise. He looked up at Hong Li and asked, "Huh?"
"that……"
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Hong Li's forehead: "Elder Huo might not be very welcoming of me..."
"Ah?"
Hei Yang tilted his head: "Did he tell you to get lost?"
"Get out of here! Do you think that respected elder would be as rude as you? He hasn't even said a word yet!"
Hong Li rolled her eyes and subconsciously took a step back: "However, as soon as Elder Huo saw me, his rosy face instantly darkened. Doesn't that mean he has a problem with me?"
"Ah this..."
Hei Yang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Really? Your face darkened instantly?"
"Absolutely true!"
As Hongli affirmed, she turned around and said, "I feel that today is not a suitable day..."
"Cough cough."
Hei Yang coughed twice, opened the letter from Hong Li's biological mother, Lan Yuying, and read aloud: "Little Li, you can come back anytime. If it's inconvenient, Mom and Dad will come to pick you up together..."
"Okay, no need to say more."
Hong Li's expression instantly returned to calm. She turned around, pushed open the door, and stepped inside, saying, "I understand!"
"Hmm, yes..."
Elder Huo wiped the last patch of soot off his face in front of the mirror, put down the handkerchief, looked at Hong Li, paused, and then showed a look of sudden realization: "Little Hong Li, right!"
“Ah, haha…”
Hong Li chuckled awkwardly and waved her hand, "Elder, you still remember me? That's... unfortunate, cough cough, but an honor!"
"Oh, what's there to be proud of? I remember every single one of them."
Elder Huo smiled and waved his hand: "Especially you, Xiao Li, as the undisputed number one among our recent batch of new disciples, how could I not recognize you?"
"That high-grade spirit stone I gave you in advance when we met last time didn't disappoint; it helped me secure first place. Well done!"
"Ah, this, that..."
Hongli lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly and muttered softly, "Well, it's nothing serious..."
Help! She's really bad at talking to elders!
Waaaaah, help! Help! Black Sun, come protect me!
"Haha, that's being modest."
Elder Huo pulled over a stool and said with a smile, "Don't be shy, relax and sit down."
"oh oh!"
Hongli sat obediently on the stool, head down, looking at her toes that couldn't reach the ground, her mind blank.
[Hei Yang: Well done! Keep it up, Xiao Li! You've taken a step towards success!]
[Hongli: Aru has invested three yuan in this...]
[Black Sun: ???]
