The two cubs ran outside the door. Sure enough, Yan Yincheng and Xu Zixi were back. Behind the couple were also two men with equally straight postures and outstanding looks.
One was familiar to Xuxu. It was Teacher Feifei, his favorite magician. The other one he had seen during the camping a few days ago. That man had even taken away his elder brother!
Subconsciously, Xuxu didn't like this seemingly gloomy uncle.
"Brother, is that the Uncle He you mentioned?" Xuxu pouted and said, "He seems so unhappy. Does he not like our home? Xuxu remembers that he almost took you away. Xuxu doesn't like him!"
Xuanxuan said seriously to Xuxu, "No, little brother. Uncle He became like this because he lost his daddy and mommy when he was a child and was even abducted by bad guys and taken to a place full of bad people. He took me away because he likes me and wants to be my daddy."
Hooking Xuxu's finger, Xuanxuan said, "We almost lost our daddy and mommy when we were little, too. If the Goddess of Mercy hadn't let mommy come back to us and daddy hadn't become the black - faced uncle to find us and mommy, we might have been like Uncle He."
"The Goddess of Mercy has already taught Uncle He a lesson. He knows he was wrong now and is willing to correct himself just like Sun Wukong. So, don't hate him, okay?"
Xuxu's eyes lit up. "Is he as powerful as Sun Wukong?"
Xuanxuan thought for a while and said, "He's as powerful as mommy!" Since he could help daddy research the medicine to treat his eyes with mommy, Uncle He must be very powerful!
The natural admiration of children for powerful people immediately made Xuxu change his mind. He nodded with a smile. "Okay! Brother's Uncle He is also Xuxu's Uncle He!"
No one could hear the two cubs' whispering except themselves.
When Xu Zixi and the others got closer, the two cubs threw themselves into their daddy's and mommy's arms and had a good cuddle.
"Daddy, mommy, you came back a little late today!" Xuxu said discontentedly, pinching his little finger.
Xu Zixi kissed him on the face and smiled. "Sorry to keep you waiting, cub. Mommy was a bit busy with work today and forgot the time. But mommy has a great piece of good news to announce. This good news will surely make you jump for joy."
Xuanxuan's eyes lit up. "Is the good news mommy wants to say related to daddy's eyes? Is there hope for daddy's eyes?"
Xu Zixi winked mysteriously. "This good news will be announced after dinner!"
The two cubs nodded vigorously and then looked up at Alex and Bai Xuanhe behind them. Xuanxuan greeted them first. "Uncle He, Teacher Feifei, good evening!"
This was the second time they met after the camping night and that dream. But when he heard this address again, the scene in the dream where Xuanxuan stood in front of him to block the bullet reappeared in front of his eyes. Bai Xuanhe's eyes uncontrollably became hot.
Maybe this was fate. No matter how many twists and turns they went through, as long as they met, this child would surely walk into his heart.
Then, he heard another clear voice calling out, "Uncle He! I'm Yan Jingxu, the younger one of the twins. How do you do!"
Bai Xuanhe looked to his right. A child who looked exactly like Xuanxuan was looking at him eagerly, with more vibrant energy on his chubby little face.
When the two extremely similar children stood in front of him, looking at him with the same eyes, Bai Xuanhe's eyes suddenly blurred for a moment.
In that instant, he inexplicably thought of the child "Yan Xuran" in the first dream who also recognized him as godfather.
Could it be...
"What are you standing there for? Come in quickly!" A gentle female voice interrupted his train of thought. When he came back to his senses, he met Xu Zixi's clear eyes.
Steadying himself, he temporarily put aside his thoughts and stepped into the house.
Inside the house, Yan Haikun and Yin Shulan were both there. When Anning saw her daddy and mommy, she stretched out her hands asking for hugs and kisses. Xu Zixi took Anning from Yin Shulan's arms and coaxed her carefully.
Although the house was big, it was filled with laughter and the atmosphere was so warm that it made people's hearts melt. Bai Xuanhe then noticed that the way Yan Haikun and Yin Shulan treated Xu Zixi was exactly the same as in the first dream, as if they were supposed to get along like this.
And this was also the first time he met Yin Shulan up close.
Once upon a time, he had misunderstood that his father had other feelings for Yin Shulan because Yin Shulan was quite similar to his mother, Chen Mei, in temperament.
But now he understood that his mother had never been a substitute. Chen Mei was just Chen Mei.
While Bai Xuanhe was secretly observing, Yan Haikun was also observing him. The old man had seen a lot of people in his life and immediately saw that Bai Xuanhe had an unusual background and must not be a kind person.
Remembering what Yan Yincheng had said about Xuanxuan recognizing a godfather, he frowned imperceptibly.
But as the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. He said with a smile, "The unfamiliar guest behind should be Uncle He that Xuanxuan mentioned?"
Several pairs of eyes then fell on Bai Xuanhe.
Yan Yincheng said, "Dad, he is the biological son of Uncle Tang."
Yan Haikun was still guessing Bai Xuanhe's identity in his mind. When he suddenly heard his son say this, he was stunned for a moment and a bit surprised. "He's actually Mr. Tang's son? But wasn't he..."
Yin Shulan even took two steps forward and carefully examined Bai Xuanhe's facial features. As the woman who was very similar in temperament to his birth - mother approached him, Bai Xuanhe's heart started beating uncontrollably fast, and he even felt a bit nervous.
Yin Shulan suddenly smiled faintly and said, "He does look like Mr. Tang when he was young."
Yan Haikun couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
Everyone came back late and dinner was already prepared. Xu Zixi said with a smile, "It's the guest's first time here. We can't let him go hungry. Mom and Dad, let's sit down and talk."
The doubts in Yan Haikun's heart had already dissipated when he learned Bai Xuanhe's identity. He warmly invited Bai Xuanhe to sit at the dinner table.
"Yes, yes. Hurry up and sit down to eat! I really didn't expect that you, this child, are still alive! It's really a blessing in disguise. You must eat more today!"
The old man's mouth never stopped, but miraculously, Bai Xuanhe didn't find it annoying or offensive. In the past, he would have already made the other person never able to speak again.
He was pushed into the chair, and Yan Haikun even patted his shoulder hard.
After everyone sat down, the topic returned to Bai Xuanhe. He tightly gripped the knife and fork in his hand, lowered his eyes, and said:
"After I was kidnapped that year, those people knocked me out. I don't know what happened. When I woke up again, I was already in a foreign country and had lost my memory. These years, I've been living abroad and even changed my name. Now my name is He Xuan. I'm a professor in the School of Medicine of Fengcheng University and have joined Zixi's research team to study the medicinal properties of the 'Golden Amber' gland fluid with her."
Of course, he couldn't tell the truth that he had joined a certain organization, that he was actually the famous hacker "White Crane" and an international criminal who had already been arrested.
"Oh? So, it was Acheng and Zixi who discovered your identity?" Yan Haikun exclaimed. "I didn't expect that after all these twists and turns, you still ended up in a medical - related job. That's great. If your father were still alive, he would be very happy to hear this news."
"It's a pity that you didn't get to see him for the last time."
After saying that, both Yan Haikun and Yin Shulan showed expressions of regret on their faces.
"You've really had a hard time these years, living alone abroad. It must have been very difficult. But it's okay. Although your father has passed away, we're still here. Your father has doted on Acheng a lot over the years. Now it's our turn to dote on you!"
Yan Haikun smiled and picked up a big drumstick for him with the serving chopsticks.
"From now on, consider this your home and Acheng your brother. If you need anything, just tell us. Don't be polite to us! Speaking of which, you and Xuanxuan are really fated. Both of your names have the character 'Xuan' in them. It seems that you're destined to be connected, just like your father and Acheng, as godfather and godson."
This scene was just like the one in the dream, and even Yan Haikun's tone was exactly the same as in the dream.
Bai Xuanhe's hand holding the knife and fork tightened a bit more, but it wasn't because of anger or sadness. He was...
Touched.
Ashamed.
Guilty.
And... embarrassed.
A childish voice came from the side. "Grandpa, you're wrong! There's also Xuxu! Brother said that Uncle He is also Xuxu's Uncle He!"
Yan Haikun laughed heartily. "Yes, yes. There's also Xuxu. And Qiji too, right? Qiji, do you see that uncle? That's your Uncle He."
Anning blinked her big, black and bright grape - like eyes and stammered, "Uncle He?"
Bai Xuanhe's heart melted completely.
No one could resist such kindness and warmth. Even though this warmth came from the Yan family, who had no blood relation with him.
