Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Is it bad to avoid it?

If you avoid her, you'll just pounce on the beach and end up with a mouthful of sand.

Let's act like human beings and not avoid this.

Yes.

Therefore, in Yang Qiuyun's view, she could see the three children sensibly opening their arms to welcome her return.

You guys still love me after all!!

Um... no joke, we really miss you.

I hate you, but I also love you. What can I do? You're my mother.

As the sound of the waves surged again and the wind calmed down, Yang Qiuyun had already put her knees on the ground and tightly hugged the three children who had knelt down with her.

Yu Zhe was in the middle, and Yang Qiuyun's head was buried in his chest.

She sobbed, the pride she had just tried to salvage vanished the moment she touched the children's arms, and she could no longer think about those insignificant issues.

She could only try her best to keep her head down and lower her voice so that it didn't sound sobbing.

"You... Mom really misses you..."

"Waaah..."

"Hey..."

When they reunited, everyone's reactions were quite different.

Yu Zhe felt that the emptiness in his heart had been largely filled with this hug, and he had just heard a fleeting sob next to him.

It was only for a moment, but Yu Zhe had already caught it.

On the left, Zixiao's eyes were glistening with tears as she stroked her mother's hand, comforting her and telling her not to cry.

And that choked voice just now undoubtedly came from Yu Che on the right.

Haha... She's usually the one who shouts the loudest, saying that her mother is a stinky woman, but she's the one who can't hold back her tears the most.

But Yuche has grown strong enough.

She had long ago vowed to be her brother's support.

So in just a few seconds, when Yu Zhe turned to her, Yu Che had already wiped away her tears and resumed her usual fierce and cute demeanor, glaring at her mother.

It seemed to be a warning to her: How dare you cry while hugging us?!

Yu Zhe freed one hand and pulled Yu Che to his side.

Being strong is a good thing, but in reality...

Family members need to rely on each other, right?

60. Welcome Home

That's what family is all about—supporting and supporting each other.

If it weren't for Yu Che and Zi Xiao filling the void in Yu Zhe's heart with their selfless love after Yang Qiuyun's sudden disappearance, he doesn't think he would have made it this far.

So, at this moment of reunion, Yu Zhe deliberately hugged Yu Che and Zi Xiao even tighter in front of Yang Qiuyun. He was unusually like a child, protesting against his mother who had left without saying goodbye, and trying to repay the love of Yu Che and Zi Xiao.

This detail warmed Zixiao and Yuche's hearts. They had just been worried that their brother might suddenly ignore them if he saw their mother, since he used to be very attached to their mother when he was little.

The two sisters are going too far by being jealous of their mother!

However, this vinegar is not the same as that vinegar.

But their worries were obviously unnecessary. After these past few years, Yu Zhe's world has long been filled with the two of them.

The clever Yang Qiuyun understood this perfectly. She hugged her three children tightly and smiled foolishly.

It's okay. She doesn't expect to have any place in the children's hearts anymore. She just hopes that everyone is well, safe, and happy in the days to come.

Moreover... Yang Qiuyun was actually quite relieved; the situation was much better than she had expected.

While she was immersed in the joy of the reunion, she noticed that Yu Che had just choked up. "Waaah, my daughter still loves me!"

Thinking about this, she unconsciously blurted out what was on her mind.

"Little Yuche, don't cry, boohoo, Mommy loves you too. You must be happy..."

"Get out of here, you filthy woman! Who's crying! Who's crying! Which eye of yours saw me crying!"

"..."

Oh dear, why has my little Yuche become so irritable? Yuzhe, is there something wrong with your parenting?

But Yu Che hasn't changed in essence; she's just gone from being weak to having a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She's still that kind-hearted child who cares about others.

It must have been tiring for everyone to be half-squatting on the ground while being held by Yang Qiuyun. Yu Zhe gently reminded her, and Yang Qiuyun understood. Reluctant to let go of them, she stood up while maintaining that posture.

Lin Yin shrugged with a wry smile. Even if she wasn't very emotionally intelligent, she knew she should avoid the situation at this moment.

She picked up Yang Qiuyun's coat, which she had just shed, with her fingers, and consciously retreated behind a nearby reef. While leaning against it to protect her, she crossed her arms and continued to listen to the long-awaited reunion of mother and son.

After getting up, Yang Qiuyun continued to hug the children with her arms outstretched. She was surprised to find that her legs were no longer weak; she hadn't even been able to stand up a moment ago.

"Zixiao".

"Huh?"

Zixiao had just been carefully using a handkerchief to clean the sand from Yang Qiuyun's silver hair when she was suddenly called out. She withdrew her hand and tensed up a little nervously.

Yang Qiuyun rested her cheek against her son's shoulder, tilted her head, and smiled at Zixiao.

"Don't be nervous... Sigh, I brought you to the Su family, but I left after only two years. We should have had a good chat to build our relationship. I clearly said that I would give you the warmest family in the Su family, but I broke my promise. I have always felt guilty about this and should apologize to you properly."

"No, Yang A..."

"Ok?"

“Uh, Mom, no, I mean, you didn’t break any promise. You did say you would give me a warm family, and I did get it. Isn’t that keeping your promise? There’s nothing to apologize for in this matter.”

Yu Che was still muttering, "Stupid Zi Xiao... do you know how hard it is to get an apology from her? She's just making excuses, what a wimp..."

angry!

Zixiao was barely able to suppress her anger and confront Yuche because of the warm atmosphere.

Her words were exactly what Yang Qiuyun had expected. She gently closed her eyes, feeling the warmth bestowed upon her by heaven.

"Hmm... I didn't keep my promise, but thankfully my son and daughter are successful and accepted you... fulfilling my promise for me. But if possible, Zixiao, can we all live together from now on? I'll try my best to be a good mother this time. I know you might be satisfied with your current family, but having another mother wouldn't be too much of a burden, right?"

"Ah... um, if possible, please do."

How could Zixiao have no feelings for Yang Qiuyun at all?

Back then, it was Yang Qiuyun who led her to the Su family and rescued her from the endless loneliness of the orphanage. Without Yang Qiuyun, she would never have had the chance to meet Yu Zhe. Without Yu Zhe, where would Zi Xiao have a home?

Therefore, Zixiao's eyes had long been filled with tears; she had long regarded Yang Qiuyun as her mother.

If it weren't for this, Zixiao wouldn't have gone to visit Yang Qiuyun's maternal grandparents with Yuche at Yuzhe's birthday party last year, which clearly shows her thoughts.

Yang Qiuyun even tried to touch Yu Che's head, but Yu Che slapped her away like a little tiger. Ooh... she's really fierce.

Finally, there's Yu Zhe, who hasn't made any moves yet.

Yu Zhe told her to talk to Yu Che and Zi Xiao for a while first, because it was something she owed them.

Yu Zhe is such a doting brother. You haven't shown up for so many years. Now that we've finally found you, shouldn't you talk to Zi Xiao and Yu Che properly first?

Now that he had finished speaking, Yu Zhe slowly began to speak.

"Mom, you must be suffering out there."

. "

“Yu Zhe…” Yang Qiuyun lifted her head off Yu Zhe’s shoulder and looked into his clear, sky-like eyes. “No… Mom didn’t suffer. Just thinking about you makes me happy every day. I have photos of you when you were little on my phone. Looking at them every day gives me a lot of motivation. How could I have suffered at all?”

"You...can't you tell I'm being sarcastic?"

"!"

Yang Qiuyun, be alert!

Forgot! I am now a vulnerable mother, a poor woman who could be punished by my children at any time!

"Photos, right..." Yu Zhe smiled "amiably," "My dad betrayed you first~ He said you once asked him for a backup of our childhood photos. As for why, it seems you accidentally deleted them when you updated your phone? Oh, so you didn't even back up your most precious children's photos beforehand, I should..."

"Listen to my explanation, Yuzhe! This is... this is... that's right, it's your old man making things up! That bastard! He actually said I didn't make a backup?! Is this how you shift blame? He's the one who asked me for it! If you don't believe me, I'm going back to confront him!"

You scumbag!

Would my dad dare confront you? When we get back, he'll just have to do whatever you say.

Yu Zhe chuckled, which startled Yang Qiuyun.

He laughed until a tear welled up in his eye, looked up at the starry sky, and muttered to himself.

"And also... your favorite CDs from back home, my dad said you keep losing them here too? Sigh... be a little more careful, you should keep the things you like safe."

"You also eat three meals a day," Sister Lin Yin said. "Sometimes you skip breakfast because you find it troublesome. Although I'm used to sleeping in and often get scolded by Zi Xiao, I don't have the right to say this, but I still want to remind you that you must eat breakfast properly."

"Ah, I remember when I was little, you were the most..."

I look up and recount the memories I cherish.

Unbeknownst to them, the three people around them were already feeling a pang of sadness and wanted to cry.

The three of them... are the people in this world who are most in tune with Yu Zhe.

Zi Xiaoyu hugged Yu Zhe tightly. This scene made Yang Qiuyun's nose tingle. Listening to his words and recalling the past, her tears fell again and landed on the ground.

Finally, after recounting everything he knew about Yang Qiuyun's living conditions here, he concluded...

Yu Zhe first calmed down his two younger sisters.

Then he gently hugged Yang Qiuyun.

Words.

"Mom, welcome home."

61. Are you stupid?

Little did they know that at this very moment, while they were experiencing a touching reunion, on the other side of the beach, beside a deserted hill, Lu Ling, who was sitting in the driver's seat of a truck, was finally catching her breath.
