Chapter 622 I'm home.

Just as Lin Xiyue was about to step onto her own floor, she suddenly heard a clear and melodious shout.

"?! Sister Xiyue! You're back!! It's so wonderful! I've missed you so much!!"

It turned out that An Qing had spotted them at some point and was standing at the end of the corridor, shouting to them with a look of ecstatic joy.

In the next instant, before Lin Xiyue could even react, she was struck as if by a powerful firecracker, and her body involuntarily staggered back several steps.

If it weren't for the quick-thinking Meros who reached out and caught her tightly, she would probably have fallen to the floor in a very disheveled state.

"Oh dear! What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Do you miss us that much? (*￣︶￣)"

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiyue was slightly taken aback, but quickly came to her senses. She then instinctively hugged An Qing tightly as she rushed into her arms, gently stroking her smooth hair and asking softly with a smile.

"Yes...that's right. I miss you all so much. I haven't heard from you since you left, and it's been more than half a year now."

I'm already on summer vacation, and you guys are only just coming back. I really, really missed you all. QAQ

An Qing, like a well-behaved little rabbit, buried her head deep in Lin Xiyue's warm embrace and responded in a muffled, sullen voice.

"What? Half a year has already passed? Has it really been that long?"

Hearing An Qing say this, Lin Xiyue was immediately astonished, clearly unaware that so much time had passed while they were on the shuttle.

She was especially surprised and shocked when she heard An Qing mention the specific number of days.

"Of course, it's definitely more than half a year! It must be at least half a year, since I've already been on summer vacation for a whole week."

An Qing nodded vigorously in agreement, while hugging Lin Xiyue even tighter, as if afraid that the other party would once again heartlessly abandon her to some unknown place.

"Waaaaah... Actually, during this time, I was always terrified that you would suddenly abandon me and leave me to fend for myself."

So these past few days, I've been constantly hoping for your early return. That feeling is truly unbearable, so painful!

Finally, An Qing couldn't hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes. She poured out her unease to Lin Xiyue in a slightly choked and aggrieved tone.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, Anqing... It's all because I didn't think things through that this happened. I'm really sorry!"

I initially thought this trip wouldn't take too long, but things didn't go as planned. I never expected it to take so long; I thought it would only take two or three months at most...

And during this time, I didn't even manage to deliver a single message to you in time—that's truly unacceptable! Please believe me, this will never happen again!

While gently patting An Qing's back as she sobbed in her arms, Lin Xiyue apologized repeatedly with deep remorse and promised that she would definitely correct her mistakes and never repeat them.

An Qing was already crying her eyes out, heartbroken and unable to care about anything else.

Alright, alright, you two, stop standing around! Let's find somewhere comfortable in the living room and talk it out.

Meros, who witnessed this scene, knew that if they continued to cry and comfort each other, it would take who knows how long, so he decisively interrupted them.

Before he finished speaking, Meros walked straight up and gently pushed open the door, gesturing for the two of them to leave their current location.

After all, the three of them were currently in a very secluded special room specifically used for parking shuttle vehicles. Not only was the door open, but the surrounding environment was also in stark contrast.

In this situation, it's best to close the door as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's go right away."

Hearing what Molos said, An Qing snapped out of her daze, blushed, and wriggled free from his embrace, responding softly.

Then, Lin Xiyue naturally took An Qing's small hand and walked together on the long-missed corridor of her own home.

Lin Xiyue had already noticed it just by walking that short stretch of road from the second-floor corridor to the first-floor living room.

Although they were not at home during this period, An Qing still meticulously cleaned the entire house, even wiping the corners that were prone to dust accumulation, such as the top edge of the paintings, until they were spotless.

"Sister Xiyue, please sit down for a while. Brother Mo, please sit down too!"

I recently learned how to make the desserts that Sister Xiyue likes, and I made a lot today. I'm going to go get them for you all to try right now! (p≧w≦q)”

After An Qing saw Lin Xiyue and Mo Luosi sitting down in the living room, she immediately spoke these words at a rapid pace.

Before she finished speaking, she had already rushed towards the kitchen like a whirlwind.

Not long after, she returned, steadily holding a beautiful three-tiered wooden lunchbox in both hands.

"Hehe, Sister Xiyue, look what I made!"

An Qing's face was filled with a proud and satisfied smile. She carefully placed the exquisite boxed lunch in her hand on the coffee table, as if she were holding a precious treasure.

Then, she happily opened the lid of the lunchbox.

"Wow! It's been half a year and our Anqing has become so amazing! She's even learned to make delicious desserts by herself, and so many different kinds!"

Lin Xiyue stared wide-eyed at the huge, opened lunchbox in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

It turns out that when the lunchbox was opened, there were three layers inside, and each layer was filled with all kinds of tempting desserts neatly arranged.

The first thing you see is the top layer, which is covered with colorful and differently shaped butter cookies, which give off a faint milky aroma.

The next layer down is filled with neatly arranged egg tarts of various flavors, including sweet strawberry, refreshing blueberry, and rich chocolate, which look so tempting that they make your mouth water.

The last layer, the largest layer in the entire lunchbox, was filled with exquisite cake slices, some adorable pink hearts, others as vibrant and beautiful as blooming flowers…
