Chapter 37: Yucheng City (2/2)

Tang Hongjun took off the child’s shoes and asked him to change his slippers to go in. He shook his snow-stained boots and said, ”We’re going to see your dad, when your father told me about this, I thought that Yucheng is a good place we can go to. We can’t let your father be there by himself, let's all go together! I booked tickets for Xiaoyu’s grandfather, and the plane will arrive in Yucheng in the evening! I didn’t tell your dad about this because I wanted to surprise him, Ha ha!”

Xia Ye didn't expect this at all. After asking a few questions during the meal, he realized that Tang Hongjun's decision was also made just now.

”If it weren't difficult to buy New Year tickets, we would have gone with your father this morning.” Tang Hongjun felt that it was a pity, he tore a chicken leg for each of the two children and advised them to eat more. ”Xiaoye, eat first. Your aunt has already prepared everyone’s clothes, you can just get some of your things in a moment, and don’t worry about anything.”

The adults in the family had already decided, and Xia Ye agreed.

Chen Suling carefully prepared things for the family to travel. The things Xia Ye and Tang Jinyu had were almost the same, except for the size difference. Even their water bottles were of the same style.

Tang Jinyu’s pink-blue water bottle has a cartoon design on it, and Xia Ye’s one was dark blue with a string of letters printed on it. It is the most popular style nowadays.

Tang Jinyu didn't have a suitcase, only carrying a small backpack of the same style as Xia Ye, he was sitting on Tang Hongjun's white suitcase, holding a small car with both hands, and set off his small “plane”.

Something went wrong during the trip and Xia Ye became airsick.

Chen Suling brought first class seats, but there wasn’t that much space. She can only ring a bell for a flight attendant to give a few pills for him to take. After a while, she saw Xia Ye's face improve, but she still blamed herself: ”Blame me, I didn’t expect you to be airsick. You should remind me to buy some peppermint oil next time.”

Xia Ye shook his head lightly, ”Auntie, I'm fine, this always happens, I’ll just sleep for a while.”

When Chen Suling heard this, she stopped disturbing him and let him rest.

The four-hour journey was a bit boring. Chen Suling and Tang Hongjun got up early in the morning, and they were tired at the moment and fell asleep soon.

When Chen Suling woke up from her light sleep halfway through the journey, her first reaction was to check on her child, but realized that her child that was sitting next to her was gone. She was startled, she unfastened her seat belt, and looked around to find her child. Her fingers trembled slightly, but then she saw a small familiar figure in the next row-Tang Jinyu went to the opposite seat, and was sitting on Xia Ye's lap, and was hugged by his brother to look outside.

Chen Suling heart that was raised was finally put down, her whole body was covered in cold sweat. She glanced at Tang Hongjun that was on the other side, her husband was still asleep and didn’t even know that their child had run off on his own. She couldn't help but smack her husband on the arm, Tang Honjun woke up in fright, and without even opening his eyes, he said, ”Yes, that value can't be used, then we will recalculate…”

Chen Suling was so angry that she didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry, and whispered to him: ”Wake up, look where your child is.”

Tang Hongjun slowly came to his senses, and said in an easy tone: ”It turned out to be a dream that scared me. Why did you wake up? It's still early, let's go to sleep.”

Chen Suling shook her head and asked him to change positions with herself.

When they boarded the plane, in order to take care of the children, she put Tang Jinyu next to her, and her husband took Xia Ye to another row of seats.

Tang Hongjun discovered that his younger son was coming over when he unfastened his seat belt. His son softly yelled ”Dad” , Tang Gong's heart was sweetened, and he kissed his son several times before changing positions with his wife.

Chen Suling sat down and asked, ”Xiaoyu, why didn't you tell mom that you changed positions?”

”Mom is tired and needs to rest.” The child raised his head and said, then earnestly promised: ”I'm by my father and brother, and I won't go anywhere.”

Chen Suling felt soft, touched his hair, and whispered, ”Next time, wake up mommy, okay?”

”Okay!”

”And brother is not feeling well, don't bother brother…”

Xia Ye came to his defense and said: ”Auntie, I'm fine, Xiaoyu only wanted to give me mints.”

Chen Suling saw the child holding a box of mints and curiously asked, ”Where did this come from?”

”From a Big sister!” Tang Jinyu showed to his mother, not only the box of mints in his hand, but also a few pieces of gum, fruit candy, and even a packet of popping candy in his pocket. After the child showed it, he said seriously: ”I didn’t give them to him, my brother only ate the mints.”

Xia Ye helped explain for him, saying that it was given by the flight attendant, and Chen Suling was stunned.

Xia Ye relaxed in his seat, held the child in his arms, and hugged him to look out the window. He didn't know if it was the effect of air sickness medicine or mint, but he was feeling better now, listening to the child, his mood slowly relaxed.

”Mom, you can see clouds here at night!”

”What color are they?”

”Dark blue and light blue!” The child tilted his head and thought for a while, with a pair of eyes bent into crescents with a smile, and said happily: ”It's the same color as the water bottle that me and my brother have!”

Tang Hongjun sat on the opposite side by himself. After a long time, he finally woke up completely. He cautiously asked his wife, ”Suling, when did Xiaoyu move there?”

The corners of Chen Suling's mouth trembled and she ignored him.

Tang Honjun was very confused: ”When did he pass by?”
