Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Reunion at the Tube-shaped Building
But for the ti being, he couldn’t recall who this young boy was.
He was troubled, but he felt his young wife tightly gripping his arm, evidently uneasy in this unfamiliar environnt. Yuwen Luanfei silently patted her hand as a gesture of comfort.
And so, the thirty-so individuals, accompanied by over five hundred escorts, passed through the forest and quickly arrived at a vast plain.
The area was dotted with many tube-shaped buildings, and the familiar Bamboo Tube Building brought smiles to Bai Junjun and Li Wenli’s faces.
“Why are we still living in tube-shaped buildings even here?”
Yuwen Qi also chuckled along, “La Man Uncle said these types of houses are the most convenient, and as long as vines are grown on the Bamboo Tube Building, even if soone accidentally trespasses, they wouldn’t recognize it imdiately.”
Li Wenli nodded in approval. Indeed, this type of military camouflage later beca widely adopted, especially for constructing artillery positions—extrely fitting.
By this ti, soone had already reported their arrival.
As they entered the interior, they saw La Man Uncle, One-ard Uncle, and One-eyed Uncle leading a group of people, warmly smiling in their direction.
But upon seeing the two masked figures next to Yuwen Qi, the usually composed La Man Uncle lost his calm.
The three of them dashed forward in excitent, asking incredulously.
“Junjun Girl… Fox Brothers?”
The two individuals being called out removed their masks.
Upon seeing their familiar features, the three uncles beca even more overjoyed.
“It really is you two!”
“I never thought we’d reunite again!”
“No, to be fair, I always knew we’d et again soday—the only surprise is how quickly this day has co!”
As the three uncles spoke, they pulled the pair into their arms, hugging them over and over, unwilling to let go.
Strictly speaking, such actions were sowhat inappropriate, given the occasion. After all, whether male or female, embracing like this in such a public setting was unseemly.
But La Man Uncle and the others couldn’t contain their excitent!
These two young individuals held a special place in their hearts, and being able to reunite felt truly like a gift from the heavens.
Bai Junjun and Li Wenli understood the sentints of the uncles, and more importantly, they were quite accustod to such greetings themselves.
Fox even threw his arm around them in a buddy-buddy fashion, looking every bit like long-lost brothers reunited.
Seeing this, Yuwen Luanfei felt a bit jealous and muttered to his wife, “Fox Brothers didn’t seem nearly as excited when eting us.”
He had thought he held a special place in Li Wenli’s heart; otherwise, why would Li Wenli take such risks to co to his rescue?
Yet here was Fox giving his hugs and enthusiasm to others—such an affront.
Upon hearing her husband’s complaint, Wenren Pingting couldn’t help but laugh. “Our eting with him took place amid danger, and we’ve only just escaped from it—things were different. Your Highness should be more understanding.”
“Don’t call ‘Your Highness’ anymore,” Yuwen Luanfei’s heart skipped a beat, and he cast a nervous glance around, fearing their private exchange might fall upon prying ears, leading to unnecessary trouble.
Clearly, though, he was overthinking it; at the mont, everyone’s attention was focused on the joyous reunion.
Wenren Pingting nodded guiltily, admitting her carelessness and assuring him she’d be more cautious in the future.
But no one paid any mind to the couple with their secrets hidden deep in their hearts.
Take Yuwen Qi, for instance: seeing La Man Uncle and the others exchanging such intimate pleasantries, he insisted on squeezing himself into the group. After all, they all t at the Bamboo Tube Building, and though he hadn’t been in his full senses back then, no way was he letting them leave him out during this reunion.
And so, the life-and-death comrades from the Bamboo Tube Building reunited once more.
