Chapter 65: Childhood Memories

Chen Hao left Shangguan Huofeng's office.

He prepared to go find Lu Xiao and Lu Bu.

But just as he arrived at Lu Xiao's door.

"Bu, look, am I handsome?"

"Handsome, really handsome! I didn't expect you, Brother Xiao, to become an official too."

"Oh my, Bu, you're not bad either! Just a little bit behind me."

Hearing this, Chen Hao walked in and discovered that Lu Xiao and Lu Bu had also received commendations.

Lu Xiao was now a Sergeant, and Lu Bu was a Corporal!

"Ahem!"

Chen Hao coughed.

Lu Xiao and Lu Bu reacted.

They looked at Chen Hao in unison.

Lu Bu said to Chen Hao excitedly, "Brother Hao, you came just in time."

"Xiao and I have become officials."

"Yeah, Brother Hao, look, I'm a Corporal now."

"Not bad, not bad!"

Chen Hao nodded.

"Right, Brother Hao, what commendation did they give you?"

When Chen Hao was called to be commended earlier, only the middle and high-level members of the Supernatural Bureau were there.

"Nothing much, about the same as you guys."

In order not to discourage Lu Xiao and Lu Bu, Chen Hao could only say this.

"About the same as us?"

Lu Xiao was skeptical.

Just then, Liu Xiaodao happened to pass by.

"Xiao Hao, congratulations! You've obtained the rank of Major!"

"Ma... Major!"

Hearing Liu Xiaodao's words, Lu Xiao and Lu Bu widened their eyes.

Their mouths were wide open, as if an egg could be stuffed inside.

They suddenly felt that the badges on their chests weren't so great anymore!

They thought they were pretty awesome, but compared to Chen Hao's, they were nothing.

Lu Xiao directly took off his badge.

Seeing this, Lu Bu said, "Xiao, why did you take it off? It looks pretty good wearing it."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"Right, Xiao, are you still going home?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiao suddenly remembered this matter.

"Oh no, I forgot."

"What do we do now?" Lu Bu asked.

"What else can we do, take a plane, of course."

Lu Xiao said helplessly.

"Mm-hmm."

Lu Bu nodded.

"I hope we don't run into something like before this time."

Hearing Lu Bu's words, Chen Hao and Lu Xiao both looked at Lu Bu with strange eyes.

Lu Bu knew he had said the wrong thing.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, I'm talking nonsense, I deserve a beating! Deserve a beating!"

As Lu Bu said this, he patted his own mouth with his hand.

This time, Chen Hao and the others were quite lucky.

The journey was smooth, and they successfully arrived at Lu Xiao's home.

"Xiao, your house is so big!"

Lu Bu was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

He curiously examined everything around him.

"It's alright!"

The three of them had just walked to the main gate when they saw Lu Fengfeng.

Lu Fengfeng was wearing a purple long dress today, looking particularly dignified.

It made everyone stare in a daze.

Lu Fengfeng was a beauty in the making; if she lost weight, she would definitely be a beauty.

What a pity!

She really loved to eat too much.

At this moment, she was still holding a chicken leg in her hand and gnawing on it.

"Xiao, you're back."

"Yeah."

Lu Xiao nodded.

Lu Fengfeng noticed that Lu Xiao's hands were empty, and she kindly reminded him, "Xiao, did you forget something?"

"Forget something? Did I?"

"What about your gift? The gift you bought for Mom?"

"Damn! I forgot!"

Lu Xiao only then reacted.

"Oh no, I'm dead!"

"What's dead?"

Just then, a woman walked out.

Her hair was completely gray, there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and time had left many marks on her, but it had also brought her a mature charm.

"Mom!"

Seeing that woman, Lu Xiao called out.

Seeing Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao's mother revealed a kind smile.

"Xiao, you're back?"

"Where is my gift?"

"Mom, I forgot!"

"Forgot?"

"Oh, it's fine, if you forgot, you forgot!"

"Remember to go find your dad later and let him help you relive your childhood memories."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao responded.

His expression now was uglier than crying.

"Xiao, what's wrong with you? What are childhood memories?"

Lu Bu asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lu Xiao didn't answer.

Lu Fengfeng, however, had the look of someone watching the fun without fear of it being too big.

"What else could it be, isn't it just the 'Seven Wolves'!"

"Seven Wolves?"

Lu Bu was an orphan, so he hadn't experienced it.

"Alright, Bu, don't ask anymore."

Chen Hao came out to smooth things over.

"Xiao, hurry up and take Brother Hao and Bu inside to rest."

Lu Fengfeng said to Lu Xiao.

"Ah, right, right, right, let's go, I'll take you to my room to hang out."

"My room is actually quite big."

Lu Xiao took Chen Hao and Lu Bu to his room.

Chen Hao discovered that Lu Xiao's room was messier than a chicken coop.

And this guy seemed to be an anime fan.

"Xiao, what is this? It's so big!"

Lu Bu pointed his hand at a blue-haired doll pillow.

"This is my wife, don't touch it."

"Wi... wife?"

"Hey, Xiao, your computer isn't turned off!"

"I didn't expect you to be so studious, there's so much study material on the computer."

As he said this, Lu Bu was about to click it.

"Don't touch it!"

Lu Xiao stopped Lu Bu.

Lu Xiao's room was his private space.

Even his parents, Lu Xiao wouldn't let them in.

So it was this messy when he left, and it was still this messy now.

"You guys, it's almost time to eat."

"Go wash your hands, then come downstairs to eat."

Lu Fengfeng came up to call them.

After washing their hands, Chen Hao and the others went downstairs.

Beside the dining table.

Lu Xiao's parents, Lu Fengfeng, Chen Hao, Lu Xiao, Lu Bu.

Six people sat around a table.

"Mom, where's Big Brother?"

Lu Fengfeng noticed that her big brother Lu Kunpeng wasn't there.

"Your big brother has things to do, he can't come back this time."

The one speaking was Lu Xiao's father—Lu Buping.

Lu Buping was a man with short hair, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, and was very stern.

His eyes swept over Lu Xiao and the others, and finally landed on Chen Hao.

"You must be Chen Hao!"

"Yes, Uncle!"

"You're very good, please take care of Xiao in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Fengfeng was especially happy.

"Chen Hao, my father rarely praises people."

"He thinks very highly of you."

"Thank you!"

Chen Hao didn't know what to say, so he could only say thank you.

After eating.

Lu Xiao took Chen Hao and the others out to digest.

He took the two of them for a random walk around the Lu family manor.

On the way, Lu Xiao kept talking about his childhood memories.

"Where is that?"

Chen Hao noticed a small bridge not far away, where smoke was swirling, as if it led somewhere.

"That place?"

"That leads to our family's ancestral hall."

"Our family's ancestors are all buried there."

"Oh!"

Chen Hao took an extra look at that place.
