Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"How can I go with you if you don't clearly state our destination?"

Yang Xian looked at the girl in front of him, who was still holding the helmet in both hands.

"What?" Xu Huanhuan tilted her head to look at him, and said with a grin, "Afraid I'll sell you off?"

"You know what, I am a little scared," Yang Xian said honestly.

Given Xu Huanhuan's personality, he wouldn't be surprised by anything she did.

"Oh dear, you're an important figure in South China Sea City. Do you think no one will follow you when you come out with me?" Xu Huanhuan patted the seat behind her. "Alright! Get in, I'll take you for a ride!"

Yang Xian was speechless.

He knew, of course, that someone was following him; after all, the school officials weren't just sitting idly by.

Yang Xian took a deep breath and finally resigned himself to sitting down.

"Remember to hold on tight!" Xu Huanhuan's teasing voice came from under the helmet. "Otherwise, if you get thrown off, I won't be responsible!"

Yang Xian felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about the girl's reckless driving style.

The next moment, he looked at Xu Huanhuan's waist, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and gently placed his hands on it.

Even through a thin layer of clothing, you could clearly feel the girl's body temperature.

"Are you shy?" Xu Huanhuan twisted her body in dissatisfaction. "I told you to hold me tight, what's the difference between this and not holding me at all?"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly grabbed Yang Xian's hand that was on her waist and pulled him sharply into her arms.

Caught off guard, Yang Xian pressed himself against her.

His hard chest pressed tightly against the girl's soft back, and he could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from her hair.

This posture is far too intimate.

"Hehe." Xu Huanhuan let out a smug chuckle.

She adjusted Yang Xian's arms to a position that pleased her, so that his hands were wrapped around her lower abdomen, and then nodded in satisfaction.

This girl...

Yang Xian was speechless for a moment, but his body involuntarily stiffened.

"Is this enough?" he asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Okay! Let's go!" Xu Huanhuan let out a satisfied hum.

With a deafening roar, the black motorcycle shot forward.

------

Two hours later...

The motorcycle left the bustling city center, and the surrounding scenery changed from high-rise buildings to rolling fields and low-rise houses.

"So, where exactly are you taking me?" Yang Xian finally couldn't help but ask. "Now you should tell me, shouldn't you?"

Xu Huanhuan slowed down, and her voice, coming through her helmet, carried a hint of inexplicable emotion.

I want to take you to my grandmother's house.

"Huh?" Yang Xian wondered if he had misheard.

Grandma's house?

What kind of operation is this?

"Yang Xian, thank you so much." Xu Huanhuan's voice was very soft.

"Thank you for helping me find myself again, the person I was behind the mask."

"Thinking about it carefully, it's been a very long time since I joined the Xu family that I've seen the two elders."

"They will definitely like you."

Because her biological mother was busy with work, Xu Huanhuan spent most of her childhood with her maternal grandparents until she was brought to a big city when she started elementary school.

Although that memory is somewhat hazy, she remembers that the two elderly people were very kind to her, and those were some of the few warm moments in her childhood.

Since you've decided to be yourself again, you should go back to where you started and introduce the most important person in your life to the person who loves you the most.

"Meeting elders?"

Yang Xian was completely stunned. "You didn't tell me this before we came out!"

He thought that Xu Huanhuan's so-called "date" was at most just going out for a walk, having a meal, and having some fun.

Who would have thought that she would escalate the situation to the point of "meeting the parents"!

How exactly does this girl's brain work?

"What does it matter?" Xu Huanhuan reverted to her usual grinning tone. "You can't escape anyway! Haha..."

The motorcycle turned onto a narrow country road and finally came to a slow stop in front of a building that looked quite old.

Yang Xian got off the car, took off his helmet, and looked around at the place in front of him.

It was a small shop.

Or rather, it used to be.

The lettering on the signboard was faded and peeling, the wooden door frame looked old and worn, and some snacks and daily necessities were scattered in the glass cabinet.

An elderly man with gray hair was lying on a wooden recliner.

"Is this your maternal grandmother's house?" Yang Xian asked, pointing inside.

"No." Xu Huanhuan shook her head and hung her helmet on the handlebars. "This is the place I used to come to most often when I was a child."

Her pigtails swayed gently in the breeze, and a hint of nostalgia graced her face.

"Because things are cheaper here than elsewhere, I sneak here to buy food whenever I have pocket money."

"What I didn't expect was that after all these years, this place still hasn't gone out of business."

As she spoke, she ran briskly inside.

"Boss! Five milk candies, please!"

A crisp sound rang out in the quiet little shop.

The boss didn't react much, and it's unclear whether he heard it or not.

Xu Huanhuan, familiar with the place, picked up a dusty plastic jar from the counter and took out a few simply packaged milk candies.

Before leaving, she didn't ask the price, but instead took out a brand new 100-yuan bill from her pocket and gently put it into the drawer full of small bills and coins.

The old man didn't seem to notice and continued to fan himself while lying in the chair.

Stepping out of the convenience store, Xu Huanhuan opened her fair palm and offered Yang Xian a few milk candies: "Want one?"

Yang Xian took it casually, tore off the sticky candy wrapper, and popped the candy into his mouth.

A rich, sweet flavor instantly melted in my mouth.

The taste was very average, similar to the cheap milk candies he ate in his past life that cost only a few cents each.

"Let's keep going, we'll be there soon." Xu Huanhuan peeled a candy for herself, put it in her mouth, and said indistinctly.

She put her helmet back on and looked to be in a great mood.

Just then, a sharp and sarcastic voice rang out from not far away.

"Hey! Isn't this Wang Shufen's money-losing brat?"

Yang Xian looked in the direction of the sound.

A middle-aged woman, dressed in a floral shirt and slightly plump, was standing in front of a house not far away.

She stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Xu Huanhuan with a critical gaze and an unfriendly expression.

"What's wrong? Can't make it in the big city anymore? Can't make anything of yourself? So you're finally thinking of coming back to this poor, remote place?"

"Haven't seen you for years, and you've even learned to bring other men back?"

"Just like your mother!"
