Fall: Rebirth

"Father, Mother, we are back!" Yan Luo's voice, as cheerful as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, rang out in the Peacock Clan's hall.

Yan Yu, who had his back to the entrance of the hall, suddenly turned around after hearing his precious daughter's voice. His face was full of joy, and his resolute face seemed to soften a little.

Yu Nuo, who was sitting on one side of the hall, could not hold back her excitement and could not help but stand up and take two steps towards the hall. Her eyes were fixed firmly on the front, with a gleam of anticipation in them.

There were five figures standing in front of the hall. Yan Ge and Yan Luo brought back three handsome young men. They were tall and handsome, with outstanding temperaments, and each of them exuded a unique charm.

These three young men were all very impressive and handsome, which made people feel refreshed. Yan Yu and Yu Nuo couldn't help but look at each other, wondering in their hearts which one was Chu Heng.

"Greetings, Madam." Chu Heng, Ling Han and Xi'er all saluted Yan Yu and Yu Nuo in a standard manner. Their movements were in unison, showing that they were well-trained.

"No need to be polite." Yan Yu looked amiable, his voice was deep and magnetic, making people feel very friendly. Then, he smiled and asked, "Which one of you is Chu Heng?"

Chu Heng took a step forward, his steps were steady and powerful, showing his inner determination and confidence. He cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, I am Chu Heng." His voice was clear and loud, with a calm demeanor. While speaking, his eyes met Yan Yu's frankly and firmly, without flinching.

Yan Yu and Yu Nuo couldn't help but look Chu Heng up and down. There was a look of satisfaction in their eyes. After looking at each other, a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.

Yan Yu nodded slightly and said to Yu Nuo softly, "Madam, what do you think of this boy?"

Yu Nuo smiled and nodded to show his approval. The two exchanged glances and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

Yan Ge, who was standing nearby, took in his parents' expressions. He couldn't help but glance at them and teased, "Father, mother, why are you looking at Chu Heng like this? Why do you act like you're choosing a son-in-law?"

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Yan Luo was shy at this moment. She lowered her voice, glared at Yan Ge fiercely, and said coquettishly: "If you talk nonsense again, I will ignore you!" After that, her face turned even redder.

Chu Heng was also somewhat embarrassed by Yan Ge's words, and muttered to himself: This Yan Ge is really outspoken.

Xi Er and Ling Han were laughing on the sidelines and couldn't help but look at each other with teasing expressions in their eyes.

"Haha...why not? Your sister is old enough to get married now." Yan Yu said to Yan Ge with a big laugh.

After hearing what his father said, Yan Ge showed a surprised expression on his face. He widened his eyes and said, "I don't agree. My sister isn't grown up yet!" He frowned, crossed his arms across his chest, and looked determinedly opposed.

"Okay! Your father is just teasing you!" Yu Nuo hurriedly explained when she saw Yan Ge's serious look. Her tone was soft and kind, and her eyes were full of love for her son. Then, she turned her gaze to Yan Luo and asked softly, "Luo'er, who are these two?"

Yan Luo's face was filled with joy and pride, and she couldn't wait to introduce her friends to her parents.

Yan Luo first pointed at the elegant Hill and said excitedly, "This is Hill from the elves."

Upon hearing this, Hill immediately bowed to Yan Yu and Yu Nuo with his movements light and polite.

Yan Yu and Yu Nuo looked at Hill with smiles on their faces, their eyes revealing their appreciation and satisfaction with him.

"He's so handsome." Yu Nuo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Her eyes stayed on Xi'er, showing admiration. However, when her eyes shifted to Ling Han, her curiosity was aroused again, so she asked, "What about this one?"

Yan Luo's expression became particularly serious. She looked directly into her parents' eyes and answered solemnly, "This is Ling Han from the Golden Dragon Clan."

As soon as Yan Luo finished speaking, Yan Yu's smiling face was instantly covered by a dark cloud, so gloomy that it was suffocating. An indescribable complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Yu Nuo couldn't help but shudder and unconsciously looked at her husband, her face full of astonishment and surprise.

Ling Han had already bowed his head and was about to salute, but was suddenly interrupted by Yan Yu. For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward and tense.

"Golden Dragon Clan?" Yan Yu asked coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife. He swung his sleeves and turned around. "Huh... I guess it must be the child born to Hai?"

After hearing Yan Yu's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that the clan leader must have mistaken Ling Han for Ling Xuan.

Seeing Yan Yu getting angry, Yu Nuo stepped forward and held Yan Yu's arm tightly, trying to persuade him not to get so angry. After all, these were guests invited by his daughter.

Seeing her father so angry, Yan Luo couldn't help but cover her mouth with her sleeves and laugh secretly. She also winked at Yan Ge.

Yan Ge understood what he meant and deliberately asked Yan Yu loudly, "Father, is it possible that the young master of the Hai family is so unpleasant to you?"

Yan Yu was standing with his back to everyone at this time. When he heard Yan Ge's question, he closed his eyes and did not answer.

Yu Nuo had to hold Yan Yu's arm to prevent him from acting impulsively, and at the same time, he had to wink at Yan Ge, signaling him to shut up.

Yan Ge understood immediately, and then lowered his voice and said to everyone: "It seems that there must be some deep hatred between them."

"My biological mother is not from the Hai family." At this moment, Ling Han spoke softly; "My mother's name is Yan Yue." Although his voice was not loud, every word was exceptionally clear in the silent hall.

Yu Nuo was originally patting Yan Yu's back, but at this moment he stopped.

Yan Yu suddenly raised his eyes, then turned his head and looked at Yu Nuo at the same time.

Then they both turned around.

The moment he saw Ling Han, Yan Yu's eyes suddenly became moist.

"There really is some similarity." Yu Nuo's eyes welled up with crystal tears and he murmured softly.

Yan Yu walked closer to Ling Han step by step. His eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, which were his endless longing for his deceased sister and his deep love for the young man in front of him.

Yan Yu walked up to Ling Han and looked at his face carefully. The tears in his eyes surged like a flood. He raised his hand and gently touched Ling Han's cheek with trembling hands, as if he was touching a fragile treasure, or as if he was confirming whether the person in front of him really existed.

Ling Han felt Yan Yu's touch, and a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at Yan Yu, and tears also flashed in his eyes. Those tears were as bright as the stars twinkling in the night sky.

"Like... she really does look a bit like your mother." Yan Yu said in a trembling voice, as if a candle flickering in the wind could go out at any time. His eyes revealed an indescribable sadness and attachment that moved people.

Ling Han's eyes sparkled with crystal tears, but his face was filled with a smile as warm as the spring sun. He stared at Yan Yu in front of him quietly. The face that resembled his mother made him feel extremely close. Finally, he gently called out the name that had been buried in his heart: "Uncle."

Yan Yu's body trembled slightly when he heard the call. He slowly raised his head and his eyes met Ling Han's. In an instant, deep emotions were revealed in the eyes of both of them.

Yan Yu responded softly, then hugged Ling Han tightly.

"Welcome home, Brother Ling Han!" Yan Luo's innocent and brilliant smile was like a flower blooming in spring, exuding a charming fragrance.

The entire hall was filled with a deep feeling of emotion and joy, and warm emotions surged in everyone's heart.

Everyone couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes and was deeply moved by this heartwarming scene.

At this beautiful moment, family love and friendship are intertwined to form a beautiful and moving picture.
