Chapter 8 : A Tale of Experience, Graceful and Charming

"Xiaoyezi, come to the kitchen and bring the dishes!" After a while, Ye's mother's voice came from the kitchen. "Alright." "Brother! We can eat soon, come and help bring the food." Xiaoyezi smiled at Qin Hao and beckoned to her, then turned and went into the kitchen. In no time, the not too big nor too small dining table was filled with sumptuous dishes. There were cola chicken wings, braised beef, spicy chicken... Qin Hao vaguely remembered that most of these dishes were his favorite. "I didn't expect Mom to still remember what I like to eat." Qin Hao murmured to himself. "Mom, where's sister? Why hasn't she come back yet?" "Ah, your sister, she usually works late. We always eat dinner at home before she comes back. I've already saved some food for her, don't worry." Ye's mother explained while wiping her hands on a towel. "Okay!" Qin Hao didn't think much about it and just nodded in response. When Ye's mother finished setting the table, Qin Hao and Xiaoyezi were already waiting at the dining table. "Why are you all just standing there? Let's start eating." "Here, try this!" As she spoke, Ye's mother picked up a large piece of braised beef and put it in Qin Hao's bowl. "Thank you, Mom." Qin Hao said and started eating. "Is it delicious?" Ye's mother asked anxiously, afraid that Qin Hao's taste had changed after so long. "Mmm... It's delicious! Mom's cooking still has the same taste as before, it's simply heavenly." Qin Hao enjoyed every bite! However, as he ate, tears fell into his bowl. In this world, what other delicacies were there? Could anything be more delicious than his mother's cooking? "You silly child..." Ye's mother saw Qin Hao shedding tears and her eyes also became moist. "Mom, Xiaoyezi, don't worry, I won't lose contact again in the future!" Qin Hao raised his head, wiped away his tears, and solemnly promised his mother and sister. "Alright, Mom believes you. Let's eat with Xiaoyezi!" "Yes, brother, let's eat!" "Okay." ... After dinner, Qin Hao and his family sat in front of the television. "Hao Hao, where have you been all these years? We haven't heard from you at all." Ye's mother held Qin Hao's hand and asked with concern. As a mother, she not only cared about Qin Hao's well-being, but also worried that he might go astray. After all, he had disappeared for eight years, and the experiences he had gone through during that time naturally made people worry. "Mom, I've been doing well. I joined the military and stationed at the border with other soldiers, so I couldn't come back." Qin Hao summed up his eight years in a simple sentence. Ye's mother didn't ask much about his military service. After all, it was a matter related to the country, and she understood the importance of national duty. "You must have suffered a lot during these years. It's good that you're back." Ye's mother gently stroked Qin Hao's arm and said slowly. "Brother! You must have encountered many interesting things in the military, right?" Ye Zhiyan became more optimistic and blinked her big eyes as she asked Qin Hao. "Haha, military life is not as easy and interesting as you think. There weren't many fun things, but there were plenty of thrilling and dangerous experiences." Then, Qin Hao told Ye Zhiyan and his mother about some of the experiences he had, such as encountering a giant bear during a mission or climbing a snowy mountain. Ye Zhiyan and her mother were captivated by his stories. A touch of tenderness appeared in Qin Hao's eyes. In fact, he had softened his experiences a bit. But he hadn't lied either. It's just that the giant bear was a beast in the Southern Wilderness Forest, and the snowy mountain was one of the top three peaks in the Northern Territory. Meanwhile, not far from the old-style residential area where Qin Hao lived. Two girls dressed beautifully were looking towards the building where Qin Hao's family lived. "Qiushui, how long do we have to wait? We've been waiting for two hours already." These two girls were Luo Qiushui and Zhao Yiyi. Luo Qiushui was worried that Qin Hao wouldn't reply to her tomorrow, so Zhao Yiyi came up with a plan. They could secretly take a taxi and follow Qin Hao and his sister to see where they lived. If Qin Hao really refused Luo Qiushui, they would go to his house tomorrow. "Ah, I thought we could meet Qin Hao's parents and let them persuade him." "In that case, Qiushui, let's go to a hotel first and then find something to eat. I'm starving." Zhao Yiyi sighed and held her stomach. "Okay!" Luo Qiushui nodded. After all, she already had a rough idea of where Qin Hao's family lived, and his sister worked at the Qin Han Tang Hotel. She wasn't afraid that he could escape. Then, Luo Qiushui and Zhao Yiyi left the old-style residential area. ... Ye's house. After a long time of storytelling by Qin Hao, his mother and Ye Zhiyan's curiosity was finally suppressed. "Brother! These are the clothes that Dad never wore. Since you didn't bring much luggage, you can wear these for now." Qin Hao was sitting on the sofa, thinking about his future days, when Ye Zhiyan came to him with a stack of clothes. "Mmm." When Qin Hao returned, he only brought his phone and ID card in his pocket. The luggage he had was just some simple daily necessities. In the army, he only wore military uniforms, which he left behind when he left the Wolf Fang. He had planned to buy some clothes after arriving in Jiangcheng, but he got caught up in so many things and delayed it. "Brother, we only have one bathroom at home, and Mom has already washed up and gone to rest. You go first, I'll go later." "Oh, right, let me take you to your room." Ye Zhiyan said and tried to pull Qin Hao up from the sofa. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiyan herself lost her balance and slipped. She stumbled and fell straight onto the sofa. "Be careful!" Qin Hao acted quickly and caught Ye Zhiyan. At this moment, Ye Zhiyan's delicate body lay in Qin Hao's arms. Ye Zhiyan was no longer wearing her work clothes from the hotel, but a casual nightgown. In an instant, the fragrance enveloped him. Qin Hao's heart stirred. "It smells so good, and it's so soft." These two words involuntarily appeared in Qin Hao's mind. As a member of the military, his body was already extremely strong from training, so there was a stark contrast between his body and Ye Zhiyan's softness. In Qin Hao's arms, Ye Zhiyan was like a cuddly koala. She wore a wine-red low-cut nightgown, revealing her exquisitely flawless collarbone. Her neck, which was white as snow, had turned slightly red because of the close contact with Qin Hao, giving off a hint of blush. Her black hair cascaded down, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed. For some reason, her clear and bright eyes carried a hint of laziness. Ye Zhiyan's delicate nose twitched, and her red lips pursed lightly. The two locked eyes, and they could feel each other's breath. For a moment, the surroundings seemed to quiet down. After a while, Ye Zhiyan felt that this position was inappropriate. She suddenly felt her ears burning. "Brother! Your room is the first one." After getting up, Ye Zhiyan said anxiously. Then, she put down the clothes and hurriedly ran away. Qin Hao nodded numbly and waited until he heard the sound of the door closing in Ye Zhiyan's room before slowly moving his body. "It's been eight years, and Xiaoyezi has grown up."
