He had already seen it, a pair of people suddenly appearing on the battlefield. That agile and fierce move, who else could it be but his own parents?
"Father, Mother!!"
"Get up quickly." Ye Ziāan raised his hand to help Yangyang, who was kneeling on one knee, "Not bad!"
"Son, youāre awesome!" Yang Chuxia also said, "The pirates were defeated utterly, Mom didnāt come in vain this time, I finally got to see you leading troops in battle, so handsome, really handsome!"
As she spoke, she straightened his helmet, feeling more and more proud of having such a son.
Yangyang raised his head proudly, "Of course, donāt you know whose son I am? How could I not be handsome?"
"Such a show-off!"
"Dad, Mom, did you come here just to see me?"
Yang Chuxia shook her head, "Your dad has resigned, and we plan to return to Funan. Weāre passing through Shandong, so we just stopped by."
"Oh!!" Yangyang was so excited that he gave Yang Chuxia a big hug, then exclaimed, "I knew you werenāt coming specially to see me, I got excited for nothing."
Ye Ziāan pulled Yang Chuxia over and glanced at him sternly, "Stand properly, everyoneās looking at you. Arenāt you embarrassed at this age?"
Yangyang turned his head and indeed found some soldiers secretly watching him.
He glared back, and they quickly turned away.
Thinking he hadnāt finished explaining yet, Yangyang said, "Dad, Mom, you should rest at the town tonight. Thereās an inn there, Iāll have someone take you there, and Iāll come find you after I finish up here."
"Alright, you go be busy first." Yang Chuxia waved her hand, "We can go by ourselves, no need to send someone."
By the time Yangyang reached the inn, Yang Chuxia had already ordered a whole table of dishes awaiting him inside a private room.
"Father! Mother!"
"Quickly sit down, are you hungry?"
Yang Chuxia handed him the chopsticks.
"Hungry, my stomachās sticking to my back."
"Then hurry up and eat." As she spoke, Yang Chuxia picked out some dishes for him, "Eat more, how come youāve gotten even skinnier than last time in just a month or two?"
"Although Iām skinny, donāt you think Iām more muscular, Mom?" Yangyang hugged Yang Chuxiaās shoulders and said, "Mom, donāt worry about me, I know how to take care of myself."
"Your mother is not at ease with you, thatās why we made a detour through Qingdong."
"Hehe, I know my mom cares for me."
After the meal, Yangyang asked again, "Father, how did you leave the capital so easily? Uncle is that agreeable?"
"Your mom and I sneaked out of the capital."
Yangyang laughed, "Haha, youāre copying me!"
"Yes." Yang Chuxia laughed, "Without this, your dad couldnāt have gotten out."
"Mom, could you stay here with me for a few more days before heading back to Funan?" Yangyang asked again, "Otherwise youāll leave, and Iāll be in the barracks unable to go out. Even if I return to the capital, I wonāt be able to see you, and who knows when I will see you again."
"Rest easy, your dad and I have agreed to stay in Shandong for ten days to half a month before leaving."
"Thatās perfect."
During the days in Shandong, Yang Chuxia took over the innās kitchen, making delicious food for Yangyang every day, living a leisurely life.
After staying here for half a month, they finally boarded the carriage with Ye Ziāan again.
"Alright, stop seeing us off!" Yang Chuxia waved her hand at Yangyang, "When you and your brother get married, your dad and I will definitely come back."
"But thatāll be a long time from now." Yangyang said, his eyes red, "Mom, Iāll miss you."
Yang Chuxia couldnāt help but say, "If you miss Mom, write to me, Iāll come back to see you."
Ye Ziāan, however, pulled her back, "Let him come back to see you, no need for you to run back and forth."
