"Jin'er, you're back!" Xu Rou, who had been waiting for her son for so long, ran towards the youth who just ca back from his adventures. He imdiately hugged the young man with extrely handso features and said, "It took you so long."
"I'm sorry, Mother." Jin'er hugged back his mother, "But I missed you. It's been a long ti since I have seen you, Mother."
One could see how intimate and close Jin Rou was to his mother. It was so close that anyone could admire the mother and son duo at this mont.
"I missed you too, Jin'er. You've worried a lot but what's important is that you are safe." Xu Rou stroke her child's white and soft hair and spoke in a very gentle manner.
"It's good that you're back." Finally, Fan Rou who had been silent all the ti spoke with his normal tone, "Sneaky brat, did you enjoy traveling all around the worlds?"
Jin Rou scratched his head in sha and answered, "Yes, Father. I greatly enjoyed traversing the worlds."
"Haah." Fan Rou snorted and gave Jin Rou a flick on his forehead.
The youth couldn't help but rub his forehead from pain without protest.
"Ah, Jin'er. You must hurry to the library." Xu Rou imdiately said after small episode, "Your grandparents are waiting for you there."
"Are the Su's already here?" Jin Rou reconfird.
"Yes, and they have been waiting for you for several hours now." Fan Rou was the one who answered Jin Rou's question, "And..."
Fan Rou wanted to say sothing about Yanlu Rou but Xu Rou's glare ca towards him. He had no choice but to swallow the words that he almost spat.
"And?" Jin Rou asked. He could feel that it was a very important matter.
"It's nothing, Jin'er. Your grandma Yanlu will be the one to say that." Xu Rou smiled brightly and spoke, "Go now. Everybody is waiting for you there, My King."
Then, she gave Jin Rou a soft kiss on his forehead.
Jin Rou didn't say anything else but he nodded, clearly understood what his mother said. He gave his mother, too, a kiss on her chick and imdiately went off.
"That brat." Fan Rou clicked his tongue in annoyance, "He purposely walked past through without saying anything while he gave you a kiss."
"Of course, that's to be expected." Xu Rou laughed a bit like a reserved fairy and teased her husband, "With how you treated him before, do you think the distance between you and Jin'er will suddenly get closer just because you let him be?"
"..." Fan Rou didn't know what to say about this matter. Indeed, he couldn't bla Jin Rou for being distant from him. After all, he let his son grew within his strict rules and only his mother was the one who supported him deeply.
In other words, Fan Rou gave Jin Rou terror and disciple while Xu Rou gave everything filled with love. So, it was obvious to whom Jin Rou was closer with.
"Don't worry." Xu Rou held Fan Rou's hand and consoled him, "You can make it up to your son now that he's here. Let him feel that you deeply love him, too."
Fan Rou shook his head and didn't comnt on this. He knew it also as a father. But with the problems around the family, he felt like he wouldn't have a ti for that.
Perhaps, after all of this. Then, he might invite Jin Rou to go fishing on their far away pond.
Right, there were more things that they should give focus on. Their family matters would co next.

Jin Rou was speeding up his walk in the corridor that connected to the library of their palace. Since the place was very huge, Jin Rou needed to take tens of corridors and four stairs to reach it.
However, just when Jin Rou was about to reach the place, a rushing aura was coming towards him.
Though it didn't have any malice, it still surprised him. Then, he could see a figure running at full speed towards him.
It started with a small dot then after a few seconds, he could clearly see the entire person. It was a girl, and soone he was very familiar at that.
"This scent." Jin Rou sucked up a mouthful of air. He could clearly rember this sll that had been buried for so long now.
"Psssh!" The running and stopping posture of the lady was very exaggerated that Jin Rou couldn't help but cringe a little bit. However, it didn't deny the fact that this lady was very beautiful.
No, she was still very beautiful. Or to be exact, she was more beautiful than the last ti he saw her.
"I finally found you." The lodic voice of the lady rang out his ears, "You see, you are the first person I try to find here but you are not anywhere."
Jin Rou dazed for a second and smiled, "I'm sorry, I got urgent matters to attend to after I traveled the worlds."
"I see." Though Syni Su had already known this, she still want to receive the words from the mouth of the concerned person.
"But yeah, it has been a while, Syni." Jin Rou laughed and caressed the girl's soft brown hair and said, "But I didn't expect that you will be here, too. As far as I rembered, you told that you're going to face when you're 18. But here you are already. Not yet on that expected age."
Syni Su couldn't help but glare daggers at Jin Rou's words. Of course, what could she retort about this when everything he said was true?
In the past when they were still children, Syni Su had promise herself and declared to Jin Rou that she wouldn't see him again unless she beca an adult. As they had a small misunderstanding that ti, Syni Su flared up and got mad at Jin Rou without giving the latter the ti to explain.
And today, Syni Su broke her promise because she had yet to beco 18. So Jin Rou was trying to get back at her, in a sense.
Seeing Syni Su's expression delighted him deep inside.
