I just want to give the elves a home. What's wrong with that?

"Passengers are about to arrive in Fangwen City. Please check your carry-on luggage and belongings. Please don't crowd when getting off..."

A mechanical reminder sounded, and Li Ran stood up and stretched himself. This eight-hour ride was almost the same as the Spring Festival travel rush in his previous life.

However, he did not have much luggage. Because of the travel, he only had a few pieces of clothing. The elves and some specialties could all be transferred directly in other ways the moment he walked out of the station carrying the black leather suitcase.

“It still feels good to be at home!”

Li Ran took a deep breath and then sighed. He looked around and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"I remember I announced my return, but no one came to greet me."

He took out the illustrated book, looked at the date he had sent to Hong Pang, and almost slapped himself.

He sent that message after attending Li Shaoli's party. Because he had drunk some wine, the exact date was wrong.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll just forgive them this time."

Li Ran casually stopped a heavy mud and horse-drawn cart. The familiar feeling of being pushed on the back and bumping along the way reminded Li Ran of the time when he first came into this world.

But he was no longer the ignorant newcomer. He sat down all the way and except for his butt feeling a little numb, he didn't vomit!

"We're finally home. Yanyan should be on vacation by now, so she should be home, right?"

Pushing open the door and coming to the living room, it was so quiet as if no one had ever lived there. Li Ran's expectant heart suddenly cooled a little. However, there was not much dust on the furniture, obviously it was cleaned regularly.

"Yan Yan? Auntie?"

After making sure that no one was at home, Li Ran was helpless. What a guy, he came back by himself when they were out, what a coincidence. Suddenly he thought of another person and shouted in a low voice.

"Is Sister Fa here?"

"Xin~"

After a moment, the wings flew across the floor and appeared in front of him.

"Sister Fa is still the best. You are still at home. Oh, oh, oh, oh."

Zhen Yifa pushed Li Ran's shameless face away with disgust, and then explained a few words, which roughly meant that they went out to buy things, and I didn't go with them because I didn't like going to crowded places.

"I was wondering why the gatekeepers only had Acorn Fruit and Seal Ball left. So they're bullying them because they don't have hands to help carry things, right?"

"Forget it, forget it. I'll just wait for them to come back in the room. It's a good opportunity for me to get some sleep."

Li Ran hastily threw the suitcase in a corner of the room and threw himself directly onto the bed. The exhaustion from the past eight hours came flooding back to him and he fell asleep in an instant.

......

"No! Your colored ball is hung crookedly, you need to hang it in the center!"

"Please spare the Wind Ball. It's really tiring to carry me."

"Auntie, how long do I have to stir it? My hands are sore."

"Miss, I told you to let me do it. Look, you are tired."

The noise continued and Li Ran gradually regained consciousness. Listening to the chattering outside, he rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room.

"I'm asking you guys to stop making noise and let me sleep."

The sudden criticism made everyone's movements seem to be frozen.

After a long while, Hong Pang spoke intermittently.

"Xiao Ran... didn't you say you would be back tomorrow?!"

His voice changed from shock at the beginning to horror, and Li Ran's sleepiness was completely dispelled.

In the field of vision, Hong Pang was holding up a ribbon, probably wanting to stick it to the wall. Zuo Feifei was lying in front of a golden ball, writing something on a white note with a brush. Xiao Shui, who was carrying the table, paused and looked up at the second floor.

"What happened!"

Hearing the noise, Lu Xiaoyan hurried out of the kitchen. There was a little cream on the tip of her nose, which made her look a little funny. When she saw Li Ran, her little eyes widened.

"You guys...are you planning a surprise party for me?"

Li Ran smiled awkwardly. At this moment he really wanted to go back to bed. He looked at Zhen Yifa upstairs with some resentment. "Sister Fa, it's really amazing. They didn't even call me when they came back." He explained in a low voice as if he had done something wrong.

"Actually... the date I sent you was the wrong day..."

The only response he got was silence. Li Ran subconsciously thought that he had accidentally ruined their surprise preparations, or that they were a little unhappy because of his mistake.

"Um...I'm sorry..."

"elder brother!"

"Mah!"

Lu Xiaoyan sniffed sharply, completely ignoring what she was doing, and rushed straight to the second floor.

"Slow down, slow down."

Li Ran was a little scared when he saw her reckless behavior, until Lu Xiaoyan threw herself into his arms and he felt her warmth and emotions.

Lu Xiaoyan's body was shaking, and she buried her head in her arms. Li Ran then realized that she had grown a lot taller in the two months he was away.

"Brother, I miss you so much."

"I am back."

Hearing Yanyan's muffled voice, Li Ran's nose couldn't help but feel sore. He reached out and gently stroked Yanyan's head, with a smile on his face.

"This girl...she doesn't usually show it, but it turns out she's quite clingy to Xiaoran."

Hong Pang felt much more relaxed when he saw Lu Xiaoyan's look. Although he usually acted like a brother to her, he had never seen her like this.

He thought Xiaoyan was strong, but he didn't expect that she kept all her thoughts deep in her heart.

“Mah!!”

Xiaoshui's eyes were filled with tears, and she opened her arms and gave Li Ran a big hug.

"Ouch, be gentle, little water! Be gentle!"

Looking at the two people, one big and one small, holding him, Li Ran's eyes showed some helplessness. They were crying so much, and his clothes looked so pitiful.

"Thank you for taking care of Yanyan these days, Xiaoshui. You've worked hard."

Facing Xiaoshui, Li Ran actually felt a little guilty. He knew Xiaoshui also wanted to go out and travel, but there was nothing he could do.

Among all his friends, only Xiaoshui has been with him from the beginning. To Li Ran, Xiaoshui is like his own relative. He can only feel at ease when Xiaoshui comes to look after Yanyan.

"Mah! Mah!"

After comforting them for a long time, Xiaoshui and Yanyan finally calmed down.

"Okay, I won't leave this time when I come back."

Li Ran looked at Xiaoyan who was still holding on to his clothes tightly and comforted her softly.

"Really?"

The moment Lu Xiaoyan raised her head, it really made people feel heartbroken. Her originally big watery eyes were now red from crying.

"Really? I'll make a pinky promise with you."

Li Ran nodded solemnly and stretched out his little finger, which made Yanyan's hand loosen.

"So are we still going to have this surprise party?"

Hong Pang was holding the ribbon, and Zuo Feifei gritted her teeth, feeling somewhat disappointed with him, and slapped him hard on the back.

"The surprise is over, but there's still a party!"

"That's right, hahaha!"

This smile inspired everyone, and at that moment the whole villa became warm again.
