"I know... I understand." Madam Shang wiped the tears from her cheeks, "Xiaozhi is a good boy... and so are you."

"Okay, Auntie...it's time for us to go. Today is our day off and we have a whole day. I don't want to waste it." Xiaozhi bowed to his parents, "Let's leave first. Uncle and Auntie...bye!"

"Good boy..." Shang's mother smiled softly, "It's been a while since you've been back to Liyue Harbor, right? You've worked hard guarding the pass outside. Welcome home..."

Lin Huan bowed slightly, "Uncle and aunt, we'll take our leave. Please... take care of yourself!"

After standing on the steps and watching the two disappear around the corner, Shang's mother turned back to wipe away her tears, gently held her husband's hand, and said softly, "Our child, Xiaozhi...he came back to see us. I recognize him, there is no mistake."

"It's him...he, ah..." Mr. Shang patted his wife's back and said gently, "You cried so hard that I wanted to cry with you."

Madam Shang burst into laughter and punched him lightly on the chest, "You're so talkative again... Our child is coming back to see us, are we going to cry in front of him?"

"That's true. We have to let the children leave without any worries..."

After hearing what her husband said, Shang's mother's tears fell again, "But... it's true, I can't bear to let go."

"...Yes, but no matter how reluctant you are, you have to let go. Everyone has a destination to return to. He has already completed his journey. Although returning today is reluctant to leave the world, we cannot become a hindrance to him and make him worry. Madam...don't forget Xiaoyong, and you still have your own journey." Mr. Shang stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go home first and let Xiaoyong have fun with his friends. When the children have had enough fun, we can call him home for dinner."

Mrs. Shang agreed with her husband's words, stood up and supported her husband back into the house, away from the noise outside.

Looking at his busy wife, Mr. Shang smiled and shook his head. He knew that his wife really missed the children too much.

On the other side, Xiaozhi and Lin Huan were strolling slowly along the streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor.

Xiaozhi saw a stall selling candied haws on the side of the road, so he stopped and bought two strings of candied haws with the Mora his parents had given him. He handed one to Lin Huan and said, "Hey, Sister Huan, try it. It's delicious. It tastes just like what I remember!"

Xiaozhi said with a smile while licking the candied haws.

Lin Huan reached out to take the candied haws and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste instantly filled his mouth. "Yes, it really tastes the same as it did back then. Very good."

"I really didn't expect that I could still eat food from the living in my current physical condition!" Xiaozhi exclaimed, "I am so lucky!"

"Don't worry, the food is definitely edible. This body is condensed from immortal power and has no side effects. So you don't have to worry about anything else, just eat whatever you want!" Lin Huan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Huan!" Xiao Zhi said happily. At this moment, he changed out of the overly complicated and heavy Qianyan Army armor, and returned to the clothes he usually wore before joining the army. He happily ran to another stall, bought two glasses of iced drinks, and jumped in front of Lin Huan with joy.

"Sister Huan...this drink is for you!" Xiao Zhi handed the drink in his hand to Lin Huan as if he was presenting a treasure.

“Thank you, Xiaozhi!” Lin Huan took the drink, took a sip with a smile, and praised: “It tastes great!”

The two continued to walk forward. Xiaozhi bought a lot of delicious food and drinks with Mora... lingered in various places in the city, on the beach, and between pavilions. Lin Huan also shared the snack stalls she often went to with her children. The two threw away all their worries and enjoyed the day. Xiaozhi temporarily put aside his identity as a soldier and looked more like what he should look like at his age. His smile was bright, his eyes were bright, lively and lively. He was happy, fortunate, and cherished to return to his hometown, to see his parents, and to reunite with everything he loved in his life.
