In the afternoon, the sun was blazing, but fortunately, a few clouds covered the blazing sun, making the pedestrians on the road much cooler, and occasionally a few rays of sunlight sprinkled through the cloud gaps on the stone slabs of the alley, proving that the sun was not lazy.

After Chen Zhu and his sister Chen Yao said goodbye to their friends one by one, they finally set foot on the way home.

Although he was reluctant to leave Lin Miaohan, thinking of his father who was alone at home, Chen Zhu still sped up the pace of going home. Chen Zhu sent Chen Yao home first, and after greeting the second uncle and aunt, he walked home in the familiar alley.

"It's been five months and nothing has changed. Chen Zhu returned to the courtyard and sighed as he looked at the familiar fence and the house.

As if hearing his son's voice, Chen Yan pushed open the door and opened his arms with a smile on his face, "I'm back!"

"Father!" Chen Zhu ran into his father's arms, and father and son hugged each other tightly.

"Come in, go. ”

The father and son walked into the house, and a large table of sumptuous meals came into view.

"Wow, that's so good!"

Seeing the meal carefully prepared by his father, a trace of melancholy that separated him from Lin Miaohan was suddenly washed away by the joy of going home

"Thank you, father. ”

"Hehe" Chen Yan had a kind smile on his face, and the return of his son made the usually quiet home no longer deserted. Chen Yan took out a plate of steaming carp from the pot, turned to Chen Zhu and said, "Wash your hands, start eating immediately!"

At the dinner table~

"Xiao Zhuzi, how are you doing in the academy? Have you taken good care of your sister?" Chen Yan sandwiched a piece of chicken and put it in Chen Zhu's bowl.

Chen Zhu ate the chicken in the bowl in one bite, "I'm fine, my friends in the dormitory are all very good, my sister is very well-behaved, and I didn't get into trouble." ”

"Stinky boy, my sister is very well-behaved, but I heard that you seem to have a 'relationship' with a girl. Chen Yan said while eating, his tone was flat, like chatting usually.

"That's... I..."was discovered by his father, Chen Zhu was a little overwhelmed, after all, he was still young. "Father... I... I just think she's, quite... It's good, we're good friends. Chen Zhu was nervous and stumbled.

"Hehe" Chen Yan continued to bow his head to eat, "What are you nervous about, you haven't come back once in five months, I have to go to see you, but I can't get in, so I have to ask Huzi about you, he said that he has seen you a few times by the academy lake, with two girls." ”

"I'm sorry, father..."Chen Zhu blamed himself a little, his father was so concerned about himself, although he didn't waste time and worked hard to cultivate every day, but his home was not far away, and he really shouldn't have returned home for five months.

"Stinky boy, it's good to know that you're wrong. Chen Yan sandwiched a piece of fish meat, removed the fish bones, and blew it and put it in Chen Zhu's bowl.

"I'll be coming back to see you more often in the future. Chen Zhu's eyes were full of tears, his lips trembled slightly, and the taste of the fish in his mouth was particularly strong.

"Haha, okay, bring that 'little friend' of yours back with me, and I'll see what kind of girl makes you forget about me as a father. Chen Yan didn't blame Chen Zhu, because he himself met Chen Zhu's mother at the age of eight or nine, Chen Zhu is like this now, Chen Yan thinks that he has just inherited his own excellent genes, and it is normal for his son to follow his father.

"Father..."Chen Zhu was a little embarrassed, and then raised his head and said, "I haven't forgotten you, and I will definitely come back to see you often in the future." ”

"Haha, okay," Chen Yan took a sip of wine, "How is your cultivation?

"Father, I... Don't be surprised to say it. Chen Zhu didn't think about hiding it from his father, how could he bear to lie to the people closest to him. "I was in the contemplation period four months ago. ”

"Ahh Small bamboo. Chen Yan looked at Chen Zhu in surprise, not like he was lying, and then laughed happily and asked, "What attribute? fire or gold?"

"Father, in fact, I don't believe it myself..."Chen Zhu saw his father's happy smile, and told his father another "good news" with some pride, "Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, five attributes." ”

"What?" Chen Yan put down the wine glass in his hand and asked in shock, "Really?"

"It's true," Chen Zhu stretched out his hand, "Father, look." ”

Gold, green, blue, red, and yellow are like a rainbow after rain in Chen Yan's eyes, which is not only shocking, but also a kind of hope. After Chen Zhu was born, Chen Yan just wanted to raise Chen Zhu as an adult and protect himself, but now Chen Zhu's talent has made Chen Yan's eyes, which have been dimmed for eight years, bright again, as if he saw the morning star in the dark night, full of hope.

"Little Bamboo" Chen Yan's tone was excited, and his voice trembled and said, "I know that you have wanted to ask me about your mother many times, but in the end you held back. You are a good boy, you are afraid that I will be sad, even when you see other children tired of being around your mother and laughing at you, you have never complained, and you have never even questioned me. ”

Chen Zhu didn't have any relatives in his previous life, and he has a father who loves him in this life, Chen Zhu is already very content, but Chen Zhu is also very eager to understand his mother's situation, blood is thicker than his relatives, not to mention that Chen Yan has never said anything bad about his mother, at least it proves that his mother is a good person.

"Father, do you want to tell me about you and your mother?" Chen Zhu put down his chopsticks excitedly and stared at his father and asked.

Chen Yan took a deep breath, and finally planned to tell his son what he had been pressing in his heart for eight years: "Xiaozhuzi, in fact, my father's real name is not Chen Yan, my real name is 'Chen Yang'!"

"Chen Yang... Chen Yang?" Chen Zhu silently recited his father's real name, and suddenly thought of something, "Father, Chen Yang, are you the legendary 'Shura Knife' Chen Yang?"

"That's right! I'm Chen Yang's 'Shura Knife'!" Chen Yan said his name, full of confidence and domineering.

Tonight's father and son were really surprised and shocked in turn, Chen Zhu suddenly realized that his talent was so high, how could his father be an ordinary person!"Father, it is rumored that you are an eight-star Yuan Spirit Master!"
