After a period of training, when Huo Feng took Huo Yao to pick up the Husky, the Husky, always dubbed a "goofball" by netizens, was already a well-trained pet dog.
The club instructor introduced so of the skills the Husky had mastered to Huo Feng and his son.
Going to the toilet on its own, eating commands, following outside, as well as a few simple commands, even asking it to help fetch things...these behaviors had already been trained very well.
In other words, although they chose a Husky, what they brought ho was a well-behaved dog capable of following commands.
Under the instructor’s teaching, Huo Feng and Huo Yao also tried out so of these behaviors the Husky had mastered.
Father and son were very satisfied with the Husky’s progress; when the dog was brought ho, Huo Yao’s mood was so good that a bright smile blood on his little face.
Huo Yao hadn’t seen his dog for a month or two already.
During this period, he pestered Huo Feng every day at ho, asking him to bring the dog back sooner.
Day after day, but Huo Feng didn’t listen to him.
Huo Yao eventually gave up on raising a dog, almost forgetting about it.
But today, he suddenly went with Huo Feng to pick up the dog.
When father and son returned ho, they continued to use the previous dog cage for the Husky, and the instructor had also sent so toys ho with them.
Huo Yao gave the Husky a command, "Buddy, run!"
Huo Yao hadn’t given the Husky any na; he directly referred to him as "Buddy."
Huo Feng let Huo Yao be.
After both the child and the dog were sent ho, the vacationing Huo Feng comfortably settled onto the sofa and started lounging, playing with his phone.
For Huo Feng, the most important thing coming up was Pu Sangzhi returning to the country.
Pu Sangzhi’s schooling was nearly complete, and she would soon be taking her final exams.
Since she left the laboratory, her ti availability had increased.
So in the past half year, Huo Feng was able to video call with Pu Sangzhi almost weekly.
Huo Yao also video-called with Pu Sangzhi a few tis at Huo Feng’s request, subconsciously accepting her as the ’mother’ figure.
However, there wasn’t any emotional connection between Huo Yao and Pu Sangzhi.
To Huo Yao, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t even as important as the Husky.
Calculating that Pu Sangzhi was returning soon, Huo Feng was planning the itinerary for the day of her arrival.
Not having seen Pu Sangzhi for years, Huo Feng’s anticipation was bubbling up.
The closer the ti to et ca, the more Huo Feng felt the urge to prepare.
The first day of Pu Sangzhi being back in the country would undoubtedly belong to Huo Feng; no one would dare contest this, not even Huo Feng’s son!
Huo Feng planned to book the best hotel and spend an extraordinarily restful spring night with Pu Sangzhi.
The next day, he would bring Pu Sangzhi ho.
He would go about his work duties, and if Pu Sangzhi wanted to spend ti with the son, she’d be welcod.
In any case, the ti on the first day back was certainly for Huo Feng. Huo Feng would not allow anyone, even Pu Sangzhi herself, to interrupt his plans.
"Buddy, catch the ball!"
Huo Yao played happily with the Husky; with a child and a dog happily running around the living room.
Huo Feng glanced at Huo Yao and still asked him: "You rascal, when your mom returns, you won’t go to the airport, right? Stay ho and be with the dog, okay?"
"Sure!"
Huo Yao agreed easily, giving all his attention to the Husky.
He threw a baseball out, and the Husky hurriedly ran to catch it, bringing it back to him.
After training, this Husky wasn’t an ordinary Husky anymore; it was a disciplined dog.
Huo Yao suddenly thought the thing his dad did wasn’t so bad after all; at least his dog was obedient.
"When your mom returns, I’ll be out with her, understand? Don’t bother asking for your mom!"
Worried about Huo Yao ruining his plan, Huo Feng preemptively cautioned him.
Thinking if he was out on a rare date with Pu Sangzhi and amidst a wonderful atmosphere, one call from Huo Yao would surely spread her motherly love, halting the date and suggesting a visit ho!
To prevent that, Huo Feng had to give Huo Yao a heads-up.
"Sure!"
Huo Yao again agreed without hesitation and continued imrsing himself in play with the Husky.
Huo Feng looked at his carefree little rascal, afraid he might ss up his plans, and told Aunt again, "Aunt, on the day I go to pick up at the airport, my phone will be on flight mode, okay? Call anyone else if sothing cos up, just not . Like, Ye Xi or Xiaomai... they’re both helpful. That day is very important for , don’t disturb , alright?"
Having served Huo Feng for so many years, Aunt naturally understood Huo Feng well, nodded with a smile and promised, "Understood, sir, how could I not get you? I can see you’re completely smitten with your wife!"
Huo Feng didn’t feel any embarrassnt, smiling in acknowledgnt of Aunt’s praise, "My wife has been gone for two and a half years, now she’s finally coming back. I’ve never been apart from her for this long; when I see her, I need a day for just the two of us~"
Aunt laughed with a hint of embarrassnt.
Huo Yao, hearing this, generously laughed: "Dad, you can be out a bit longer. One day isn’t enough, go out for a month! I don’t mind you not coming back for a month!"
"You little rascal, how co you’re so generous at tis like this!"
Only at tis like these would Huo Feng think the rascal’s words were nice.
But nice words aren’t useful...
Huo Feng knew, a month was unrealistic! Even two days were unrealistic!
That woman, Pu Sangzhi, would surely be thinking about Huo Yao a lot.
Huo Feng knew his charm didn’t surpass a child’s; every ti they video called, she always asked about the child! Also insisted on video calls with the child!
This insistence was never shown towards Huo Feng.
Not asking for a long ti, Huo Feng only wanted one day.
Just the day of airport pick-up, for a comfortable day of world for two with Pu Sangzhi.
Pretty humble, huh...
Just humble enough, as long as he gets to see her!
That’s what Huo Feng thought.
On the side, very pleased, Huo Yao walked to Aunt, his chubby little hands grabbing hers, "Aunt, I want to call Aunt Xiaomai, I want Aunt Xiaomai to co ho to play with the dog. I miss Aunt Xiaomai~"
Huo Yao was still very close with Minal and his wife, the closeness even surpassed that with Pu Sangzhi.
Now the child’s mood was very good because of the dog, and the first person he thought to share with was... Minal.
Huo Feng noted the child’s request in his mind.
He felt, this wasn’t great.
If Huo Yao were close with others like this and not with Sangzhi, Sangzhi would inevitably feel heartbroken.
So, to prevent Sangzhi from feeling too upset, Huo Feng had to give Huo Yao another heads-up.
"You rascal, when your mom gets back, be nice to her, think about her more, don’t just think about your Aunt Xiaomai." Huo Feng suggested.
Huo Yao paid no attention to Huo Feng, grabbed the phone from Aunt, and sweetly spoke into it: "Aunt Xiaomai, Yaoyao brought the dog ho today. Would you co to Yaoyao’s house to play? The dog is very well-behaved now~"
He completely disregarded Huo Feng’s words, and chatted very well with Minal on the phone instead.
Huo Feng watched the rascal for a while, but eventually said nothing.
...
This sumr, Pu Sangzhi was coming back; her schooling would end, final exams completed, certificate obtained, and she would settle indefinitely in her ho country.
Since she left the lab, in the past half year Pu Sangzhi consistently managed to video call Huo Feng weekly despite her busy schedule.
She herself realized she hadn’t seen that child, Huo Yao, in two years.
She had missed significantly important periods in the child’s growth...
This was a lifelong regret for Pu Sangzhi.
However, she would soon be back. She would do her best to make up for this regret.
Ti went by quickly.
In a state of anticipation on both sides, finally the day of Pu Sangzhi returning arrived.
Pu Sangzhi boarded the flight back ho, about to endure a lengthy journey, though her mood was excited.
On the other hand, Huo Feng had long since taken leave for the arrival day.
Actually, Pu Sangzhi was scheduled to arrive at the airport in the evening, but he still gave himself a full day off.
Huo Feng rarely got up early to dress himself up, grood handsoly, put on a suit, combed back his hair neatly, and carried a bouquet of vibrant red roses.
He drove to the airport...
Placing the red roses behind him, he began waiting to pick her up at 1:00 PM...
