When Yu Chulin heard this, he ran over to their rest area, panting, before he picked up a bottle of water and chugged it down.

Li Jianqian had clearly been looking forward to the call from his father, and when he realized that the caller ID flashed the word “Daddy,” he was instantly thrilled and yelled out, “Daddy!”

Far away in Kingstown, Li Sicheng could feel a spot in his heart soften when he heard his son’s voice. He replied softly, “Hey, what are you doing?”

“I’m playing soccer with Chu. We have yet to finish our game.”

“Are you busy?”

“No!” Li Jianqian answered immediately.

The smile on Li Sicheng’s lips widened. He was unperturbed when he saw the expression on his brother’s face and said, “I heard that you want to return to Kingstown?”

“Yes, I’ve already discussed it with my teacher. I can take a week off. Daddy, can I come back?”

“Sure,” Li Sicheng replied softly but readily.

Li Jianqian was overjoyed. He never expected Li Sicheng to agree so readily. Letting out a yelp of joy, he said, “Daddy, is that for real? That’s great!”

“Yes. Do you want Daddy to pick you up?”

“It’s all right!” Li Jianqian looked extremely happy as he sat down and said, “Daddy, you can stay at home with Mummy. Grandma and Grandpa will take me home. Afterward... when I return, can you bring my friend to Kingstown to have fun for a few days?”

Li Sicheng was slightly surprised, and he asked, “Are you referring to that Brother Chu whom you told me about previously?”

“Yup, yup!” Subconsciously, Li Jianqian glanced toward Yu Chulin, who was seated next to him, and he continued to say, “Chu is my good friend. He grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he’s never gone to other places, so I want to bring him over to Kingstown to have a look.”

“I have no objections about this, but will his family agree?”

“Yup, yup! Daddy, his parents are not at home, and he stays at his granny’s house. His granny will allow it as long as Grandpa and Grandma look after him.”

When Li Sicheng heard this, he pondered for a moment before saying, “All right, bring him along, then.”

“Thanks, Daddy!” Li Jianqian was exhilarated, and he continued to say, “In that case, I’ll notify my teacher tomorrow. I’ll go break the news to Chu, then. Bye, Daddy!”

“Bye.” Li Sicheng’s lips curled up into a faint smile, and he nodded his head slightly.

Li Jianqian hung up the call shortly after. He looked at his cellphone and stood up before he said to Yu Chulin rather excitedly, “Chu, my dad agreed. We’ll apply for leave from our teacher tomorrow, and then we’ll be able to head over to Kingstown together.”

Yu Chulin was also quite pleasantly surprised. “That’s great, then. I want to visit the brother whom you’ve been talking about, as well as your sister.”

“Mosen is very smart. You’ll definitely get along with him.” Li Jianqian could barely sit still. He was already looking forward to it.

“How about your sister?” Yu Chulin asked.

After a moment of silence, Li Jianqian said, “My sister is very adorable and pretty. She can be a little blunt at times and also a glutton, but she is relatively more sensible compared to the other girls who are of the same age.”

Yu Chulin could already understand the situation, and he smiled as he nodded his head and picked up the ball before saying, “Let’s end the game and head home!”

“Okay.”

...

Li Sicheng hung up the call before he turned to look at his wife, who was playing with the Legos with their daughter, and he said, “Your son wants to bring a friend home.”

Su Qianci was slightly surprised when she heard this, and she asked, “Is it Chu, whom he often talks about?”

“Yes. It seems like his parents are often away. A smart child is indeed smart for a reason.”
