Without Ye Yixing in the car, the journey was noticeably quieter.
The three little ones would occasionally say a few words, then go back to playing with their toys.
Once they were downstairs at home, Lu Yun dropped them off and then drove away.
Ye Yixing, who was returning home.
"Dad, what did you want to see me for?"
Ye's father was surprised to see his son home so early today.
"Did you come from the west today? Why are you back so early?"
Ye Yixing was taken aback: "Weren't you the one who asked me to come back early?"
"Why would I call you back for no reason? Also, what have you been doing outside every day lately? You keep coming back so late."
Ye's father started lecturing him again as he spoke.
Ye Yixing didn't want to listen, so he gave a few perfunctory replies and went upstairs.
He called Lu Yun: "Cousin, my dad didn't ask me to come back."
"Oh, then I must've misread the message."
Ye Yixing: "..."
