Chapter 54: A Family Reunion
"mom……"
Chen Yuan called out, and the emotions that had been suppressed for so many days burst out in an instant.
He stepped forward and hugged his mother, saying in a trembling voice: "It's my fault that I made you and dad worried."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
With tears in her eyes, Guo Weilan stroked her son's back and comforted him softly.
This scene made Liu Xu and Huo Yuan's noses sore and their eyes red.
Even the caregiver who was accompanying him was deeply moved.
The mother and son hugged each other for a while. Guo Weilan put her hands on Chen Yuan's shoulders, looked at her carefully from head to toe, and sighed: "Mom is relieved to see that everything is fine with you. I...I thought I would never see you again."
I can’t see you anymore…”
After saying that, I started crying again.
"Mom, don't cry, I promise... I will never let you two worry in the future." Chen Yuan said with red eyes.
Guo Weilan nodded lightly, trying to calm down the excitement in her heart. After a while, she asked: "Where have you been recently? The school and the police have been searching for half a month, but there is still no information about you. I and I
Your dad is very worried about you, afraid that you will be..."
"It's all over." Chen Yuan sighed deeply and said, "A while ago, I encountered some unexpected situations and was unable to contact the outside world, but now they have been resolved."
Not wanting her mother to ask any further questions, she burst into tears and said with a smile: "Mom, I have some good news for you."
Guo Weilan held Chen Yuan's hand, her eyes flickered, and said, "It's the biggest good news for mom that you can come back safely. Everything else... is secondary."
Chen Yuan suddenly felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Think carefully about what day it is today."
"Today..." Guo Weilan was slightly startled, looking a little confused.
During this time, she was deeply concerned about her son's disappearance.
After being hospitalized, he was almost isolated from the outside world.
In order to let his wife rest in peace and recover from her illness, her husband Chen Kexiong did not dare to mention anything about the college entrance examination.
So when asked by Chen Yuan, he couldn't react yet.
Seeing his mother's hesitation, Chen Yuan blurted out: "Mom, today is the liberal arts college entrance examination. Have you forgotten?"
"The college entrance examination... that's right!" Guo Weilan slapped her forehead in annoyance and said, "I was so confused when I was hospitalized. How could I forget such an important thing?"
Turning to Chen Yuan, he asked with concern: "Have you taken the college entrance examination?"
"Auntie, don't worry." Liu Xu walked to the hospital bed and said with a big smile: "Chen Yuan not only took the college entrance examination, but also won the top prize in liberal arts in Linjiang City."
"Really...really?" Guo Weilan was suddenly startled.
"It's absolutely true." Huo Yuan took out his psychic phone from his trouser pocket, opened the "Official APP of the Municipal Education Bureau", brought up the holographic screen, clicked on it twice, and said with a smile: "Auntie, look, this is the year
The city’s ranking of liberal arts college entrance examination. The national ranking will not come out for a few days, but with Chen Yuan’s results, he can definitely rank among the top ten in the country.”
Guo Weilan leaned forward and looked at the screen with squinted eyes.
After a while, the tears that had just stopped burst into his eyes again, and he sobbed: "Great, my son has a future."
She caressed Chen Yuan's cheek and said with tears: "You have not had martial arts talent since you were a child. Your parents have always felt guilty about this. They don't dare to expect you to achieve much. They only hope that you will be healthy and average."
We will be content to live a peaceful life. I didn't expect... you would bring such a big surprise to my mother. You must have suffered a lot for this 'liberal arts champion', right?"
"Mom, as long as I can get ahead and let you live a good life, it doesn't matter if you have to suffer a little."
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he smiled: "There is an even bigger surprise that I haven't told you yet."
"Mom, I can practice martial arts."
After saying that, he told his mother all about the fact that he "accidentally" acquired the inheritance of ancient martial arts, used the "Wu Qin Xi" to repair his body, won the first prize in the "Martial Arts" city quality inspection, and was recruited in advance by "Linjiang University"
.
I wanted to wait until the college entrance examination is over to explain these things to my parents one by one.
But Chen Yuan really couldn't hold back the situation. He only wanted to make his mother happy, suffer less pain, and be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, so he didn't worry about so much.
Guo Weilan and her husband work in a "spiritual stone mine" near the slums.
I am usually in the mine and rarely have the opportunity to communicate with the outside world, so I am unable to understand the current situation of my children in school in real time like other parents.
Suddenly, when I heard that Chen Yuan could practice martial arts, the surprise in my heart suddenly rose to the highest level.
Holding her son's hands tightly, she said in a choked voice: "It's great...it's really great."
"Mom... don't worry." Chen Yuan said with a determined look: "My son will not only become the 'Number One Scholar in Liberal Arts', but he will also try his best to win back the 'Number One Scholar in Martial Arts'."
"Over the years, because I have no 'martial arts talent', you and dad have been looked down upon by others. I have kept these in mind. In this college entrance examination, I will definitely prove myself to everyone and let all those who bully you know
, your son is a true 'warrior'!"
"If you have this heart, I will be satisfied." Guo Weilan said softly, "When you grow up, your mother is not very educated and can't give you much useful advice. There is only one sentence that you must remember well - no matter what,
Don’t let yourself down.”
"Mom doesn't care at all whether you can get the 'No. 1 Scholar in Martial Arts', as long as you can show your due strength and don't leave any regrets for yourself."
Chen Yuan stared at his mother, nodded heavily and said, "I know what to do."
Guo Weilan smiled slightly, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes folded together, and her eyes were filled with relief.
Mother and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they kept talking from sunset to nightfall, and they were still chatting very enthusiastically.
Most of the time, Chen Yuan was talking, while Guo Weilan was listening quietly, sometimes making a few simple remarks, and sometimes responding with a nod or a smile.
At dinner time, Chen Yuan's father, Chen Kexiong, came back from the cafeteria carrying a plastic lunch box with paint peeling off.
Seeing Chen Yuan, the father and son hugged each other and cried again, which made everyone present moved.
Due to working in the "Lingshi Mine" for a long time, Chen Kexiong's skin appears rough and dark, his back is slightly stooped, and his whole body is covered with large and small open wounds and acne, making him look like a low-level worker.
But in Chen Yuan's eyes, his father is not only the backbone of the family, but also the guiding light on his growth path.
From childhood to adulthood, he learned all kinds of principles of life through his father's words and deeds.
My father worked in the mines for many years and earned a meager income, but he always tried his best to provide himself with the best.
Chen Yuan keeps all these in mind, and only hopes that he can go to college earlier, become famous in society, and prevent his parents from suffering anymore.
"Dad, Mom, my son will definitely try his best to make you proud and let you live a good life as soon as possible!"
…
The time we spend together is always very short.
At 8:30 in the evening, under repeated urging from his parents, Chen Yuan left the hospital reluctantly.
He separated from Fa Xiao Huo Yuan and Liu Xu and took a ride back to the rented house outside the school to prepare for the "Martial Arts College Entrance Examination" the next day.
For Chen Yuan, tomorrow's "Martial Arts College Entrance Examination" is undoubtedly a milestone.
In the past seventeen years, he had been bullied and ridiculed by everyone around him because he was unable to practice.
Now, I finally have the opportunity to practice martial arts, and through my unremitting efforts, I have climbed from the bottom to the heights I am today step by step.
He wants to prove his strength to everyone in the annual college entrance examination.
After returning to the rental house and taking a shower, Chen Yuan sat on the beech wood bed and prepared to review martial arts theory.
At this moment, the "Psychic Bracelet" beeped, and light screens popped up one after another.
Chen Yuan looked up and saw messages congratulating him on winning the "No. 1 Scholar in Liberal Arts".
"Chen Yuan, congratulations on winning the 'City No. 1 Scholar in Liberal Arts'. God rewards hard work. Believe in yourself. I hope you can perform better in tomorrow's 'Martial Arts' - Han Bin."
"Being able to perform at an extraordinary level under such circumstances and win the top prize, Chen Yuan, I really did not misjudge you. I am proud of you, and No. 3 Middle School is proud of you. - Xu Huaiqiu."
"Congratulations, Chen Yuan, you deserve this."
"Come on, tomorrow's 'Martial Arts College Entrance Examination', please keep up your efforts."
"As long as you are rich and noble, don't forget each other! When you get rich in the future, don't forget our classmates, haha."
Looking at the information on the light screen, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile.
Holding a towel in one hand and wiping her wet hair, she replied thanking her.
"Chen Yuan, I'm Ning Xi. First of all...congratulations on passing the 'Liberal Arts Number One Scholar' exam. This is a good starting point for you. You must work harder next."
"Senior Sister Ning Xi..." Chen Yuan looked at the light screen that suddenly flashed up. The beautiful figure he met during the "Wuke City Quality Inspection" a month ago appeared in front of Chen Yuan's mind.
He then looked down and found that there was more content below:
"Secondly...it's the 'Martial Arts Examination' tomorrow. With your level, you don't have to worry about the college entrance examination. If there are no classes, I will be there to cheer you on. Put down your burden and travel lightly. You will definitely be able to do it.
"
"Finally...it's about your disappearance."
Seeing this, Chen Yuan's heart tightened and he read back word by word:
"In late May, the No. 3 Middle School reported that you were missing. Linjiang University immediately dispatched an investigation team. I also visited Yun Qingyan four times, but unfortunately, I didn't get anything out of him.
.”
"My intuition tells me that this matter must be related to him. Now that you are back, if you have evidence that Yun Qingyan sent someone to kidnap you, you can contact me at any time. Of course, if you are worried, you can contact the police directly. This
This incident is a disgrace to the Linjiang education sector. No matter what, we must not let the culprit go unpunished. I believe in your judgment and respect your choice."
"A woman's intuition is really accurate..."
