Chapter 256: Chapter 208 Homecoming_3 Chapter 256: Chapter 208 Homecoming_3 Su Yang’s face showed a trace of pride, “That’s right, Bing Tong, I’ll show you tomorrow.”
“Mhm!”
Luo Bingtong didn’t really know what fishing was, but it seemed to be something amazing.
A couple of years ago, because Su Yuan continuously failed in his awakening attempts, the family’s situation got worse.
So Su Yang stopped fishing and saved up money to buy awakening cards for Su Yuan.
But now, life had gotten better, and Su Yang could resume his hobby.
“By the way, Mom and Dad, I’ve told you before, you two don’t need to work anymore.
Just consider it retirement and stay at home.
How does that sound?”
“No way!” Tang Shiyang opposed directly, “We’re still capable of contributing.
I’ve been teaching for so many years; it’s not something I can just stop doing.”
Su Yang also said, “Exactly, if I stop managing the fruit shop, I wouldn’t get used to it.
Son, our lives are much easier than before, but we still need to work.
Work isn’t just for ourselves; it’s also about giving back to society.”
Su Yuan knew persuading was futile, so he said, “Alright, but I regularly transfer money to the savings card at home.
Don’t skimp on yourselves.”
“Don’t worry, we know.
You transfer hundreds of thousands at a time.
We can’t even spend it all.
Your dad used some to expand the fruit store, but we usually can’t spend it.”
Tang Shiyang looked at Su Yuan and said softly, “Money isn’t important.
We’ve gotten through tougher times without it.
But now, our primary concern is your safety.
We don’t understand cultivation, but it seems there are quite a few incidents with Star Card Masters in Guangchuan City.
Little Yuan, you must be very careful!
If something happened to you, your dad and I wouldn’t have anything to look forward to…”
“Alright, alright, why are you saying this?”
Su Yang interrupted Tang Shiyang, speaking to Su Yuan, “Son, go ahead and pursue your dreams.
Your mom is just overly cautious.
To become strong, the journey can’t be completely safe!
However, what your mom said is true, you still need to be careful.”
“Yeah, I understand.”
…
That night, Su Yuan initially planned to find a nice hotel for Luo Bingtong.
But Tang Shiyang said that the hotels in the city were too far, and it wasn’t appropriate for a young girl like Luo Bingtong to stay alone.
Su Yuan thought it through and agreed.
It wasn’t about safety, just that it might not be right.
However, the three-bedroom apartment had its second bedroom converted into a study for Tang Shiyang’s work, with only a folding bed, which might be too shabby for a guest.
So, they had to let Luo Bingtong sleep in Su Yuan’s room.
Tang Shiyang said, “Little Yuan, I’ll sleep in the study, and you sleep with Dad.”
“No need.
With my physical strength, I don’t need to sleep.
But you must rest well.
I’ll take the study.
That’s final.”
“This… alright then.”
…
Late at night, because the study was next to the master bedroom, Su Yuan could still hear his parents talking quietly.
“Honey, how could you say something like ‘nothing to look forward to?’ It might make our son overly cautious in the future.
To become a strong Star Card Master, mindset is crucial.
We mustn’t hold him back!”
“I know!”
“Then why did you…”
“I just couldn’t help it…”
“…”
Su Yuan listened to their conversation in silence, feeling a warmth in his heart.
Family wasn’t a burden, but a source of courage and strength to face hardships in adverse conditions.
“By the way, Brother Yang, that little girl Bing Tong is really nice.
She’s quiet but obedient and sensible!”
“Yeah, she is very good.
But our son said she’s just an ordinary classmate experiencing small-town life.
At most, there’s some budding interest.
Don’t overthink it.”
“Are you blind?
ƝօνǤ0.сο
What girl would come to a small town with a male classmate for no reason?
There’s definitely more than just budding interest!”
“Really?”
“Of course!
Our son inherited this from you, so clueless, really worse than elementary school kids!
I’m telling you, kids these days are very precocious.
Many of them start dating in elementary school!
I’ve caught several pairs in my class.
You and our son are way behind!”
“Precocious isn’t good; they don’t understand responsibility.”
“That’s not the point, you blockhead… Anyway, that girl’s only flaw is her big appetite, but that’s no problem.
Being able to eat is a blessing, and we can afford it now!”
In the study, Su Yuan remained silent, his expression strange, not expecting his caution to make them think Luo Bingtong had a huge appetite…
Also, he couldn’t let Luo Bingtong hear this.
He had to remind his parents tomorrow to be careful about what they said at night.
Actually, Su Yuan’s worry was unnecessary since, in Su Yuan’s bedroom, Luo Bingtong, in her pajamas, was already sound asleep, clutching the blanket…
