Chapter 9 Departure for Kyoto

  The next evening, on the plane to Kyoto.

  Mo Shaokun gazed calmly at the night outside the window, while Tang Yurou beside him had a gentle smile on her face, and had been tightly holding his hand since they boarded the plane, as if she was afraid he would run away.

  Qin Xuan looked quite good at the moment, humming a tune while chatting with her mother in a scattered manner, and secretly gazing at Mo Shaokun.

  After chatting with Grandpa Sun yesterday, Mo Shaokun contacted Qin Xiang early this morning to tell her that he was willing to go back to Kyoto with them to see Old Man Tang.

  Although he made it clear that he was only going to visit the old man and not return to the Tang family, this was enough to delight the mother and daughter.

  They knew that Mo Shaokun still had some resistance towards the Tang family, but what's the hurry? You can't eat hot tofu in a rush, and with time, there will be opportunities.

  "Don't worry, don't have any concerns, you're just going home, that's all." Tang Yurou thought Mo Shaokun was still looking out the window, and assumed he was anxious, so she couldn't help but comfort him.

  Mo Shaokun slowly turned his head and smiled lightly at Tang Yurou, but didn't say anything. Was he nervous? Maybe, after all, he was about to reunite with a father he had never met before, and even as a reborn person, it was inevitable that he would feel some tension.

  But at this time, he was more apprehensive in his heart.

  Dad? What a familiar yet strange word, for him this word is just a luxury, and now this luxury is about to become a reality.

  "Mom, guess what expression will Xiao Shu have when he sees his brother?" Qin Xuan asked with a smile.

  Tang Yuru couldn't help but laugh lightly: "I guess he'll be stunned?"

  "Hehe, I really can't wait to see Xiao Shu's expression when he sees his brother, I just can't imagine it."

  The mother and daughter did not tell the Tang family about Mo Shao Kun's return, firstly they wanted to give everyone a surprise, secondly they were afraid that if the Tang family knew the news, they would make a big fuss and scare him.

  Turning her head to look at Mo Shaokun, Qin Xuan's eyes were filled with unusual colors. If it was just because of their blood relationship that she initially regarded Mo Shaokun as a younger brother, then now she truly acknowledged this younger brother from the bottom of her heart.

  Mo Shaokun did not know that after returning home last night, Qin Xuan called his father's secretary under the guidance of her mother to investigate his information.

  When she got the information this morning, she couldn't help but look at her younger brother in a new light. He had been an outstanding student for six consecutive years from junior high school to senior high school, and had even won the honor of being one of the top three students in the city for three years.

  Like various honors such as Olympic math awards and competition awards are too numerous to mention, and even got the admission quota of Anping University early!

  Living in such an environment and still being able to perform so well, it was simply unthinkable for Qin Xin, yet Mo Shaokun had done it.

  "Little brother, what are your plans for the future? You're about to graduate from high school, right? Have you thought about coming to Kyoto to attend university?" Qin Xuan asked, although she already knew that Mo Shaokun had received a direct admission offer from Anping University, but she wouldn't be foolish enough to mention it. If Mo Shaokun found out that she had been investigating him, with his pride, he would probably turn against her.

  Besides, with his grades being so good, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get into a key university even without a recommendation. If he could somehow be persuaded to come to Kyoto to attend university, that would be the best.

  "I might go to Anping University," said Mo Shaokun.

  "Anping University? Not bad, a well-known key university in the country. However, if you can get into Anping University, it shouldn't be difficult to get into Kyoto's key schools either. In any case, Kyoto has much better conditions than Anping."

  Mo Shaokun looked at Qin Xuan with a strange expression, and after a moment, he chuckled and shook his head: "I think Anping is pretty good, I'm familiar with the place, if I go somewhere else, I'm afraid I won't adapt."

  Qin Chen's pretty face turned red as Mo Shao Kun looked at her, she knew that this clever brother must have seen through her thoughts.

  Actually, Mo Shaokun doesn't necessarily have to stay at Anping University, but unfortunately, he has no other choice now. He hasn't touched high school textbooks for over a decade. If he were to take the college entrance exam now, it's not just that he wouldn't get into a key university, even a second-tier or third-tier university would be out of his reach.

  He was always grateful that he had obtained the admission quota from Anping University, otherwise he might not have passed the college entrance examination.

  It was night, and under the sweet announcement of the flight attendant, the plane slowly landed at Kyoto International Airport.

  As the crowd flowed down the escalator, Mo Shaokun could feel his heart beating faster and faster. All along the way, he had been telling himself that it was no big deal, but when the moment finally arrived, he still couldn't control his emotions.

  Mo Shao Kun's fists were gradually clenched, and Tang Yurou looked at him with a loving gaze, gently patted his hand, but didn't say anything. She knew that saying anything at this moment would be superfluous.

  "Little uncle, here, here!" At the exit, Qin Xuan looked around and soon found her little uncle's figure in the crowd.

  Mo Shaokun's body trembled slightly as he followed Qin Xuan's hand gesture and looked in that direction.

  He was a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Judging from his appearance, he was at most in his early forties, but the white hair on both sides of his temples made him look much older than his actual age.

  "Sister, Qin Qin." Tang Weiguo walked up and forced a faint smile on his face to greet the mother and daughter.

  When he saw Mo Shaokun being led by the hand by Tang Yurou, he was slightly stunned, and then asked uncertainly: "Who is this?"

  "Little brother-in-law, guess who he is?" Qin Xiang stuck out her tongue and blinked at her little brother-in-law with a playful expression. At this moment, she looked no different from those young high school girls, not like a 26-year-old career woman at all.

  "Qin Qin, this can't be your boyfriend, right?"

  Qin Chen couldn't help but roll her eyes and said with some persistence, "What's with your expression? Don't you think he looks familiar?"

  "Looks a bit familiar, where have we seen it before?" Tang Weiguo asked Mo Shaokun with some confusion.

  Mo Shaokun didn't say a word, his face was flushed red as he stared at Tang Weiguo, is this really his own father? He looked similar to the one in the photo, but he seemed to have aged a lot.

  For a moment, Mo Shaokun felt his nose slightly sour and his vision seemed to be blurry. He sniffled and turned his head to look away, afraid that if he continued to gaze at Tang Weiguo, he would burst into tears.

  "Alright, alright, stop teasing your little brother-in-law." Tang Yurou gave her daughter a glance and leaned in close to whisper something in her brother's ear.

  Tang Weiguo's eyes slowly widened as he stared at Mo Shaokun in utter disbelief.

  "Sister, you... are you serious?"

  "Hmm, didn't you notice he looks like Hong Yue?"

  Tang Weiguo's eyes widened, and his eyes turned red in an instant. Ah, yes, it seemed like that! Earlier when he first saw Mo Shaokun, he felt that this young man looked familiar, but at the time, he couldn't think of who he resembled. Now that his sister mentioned it, he finally reacted.

  Trembling, he stretched out his hands wanting to touch Mo Shaokun, but unexpectedly Mo Shaokun slightly dodged to the side.

  "Defend the country, don't worry, Shao Kun is still a bit unaccustomed, take it slow." Tang Yurou said softly.

  Tang Weiguo nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on Mo Shaokun. He never thought that his sister's return this time would bring him such a big surprise!

  "Sister, where's Hong Yue? You've found her, why didn't you bring her back together? Where is she now? Tell me, I...I want to go pick her up and take her home!" Tang Weiguo grasped his sister's arms, shaking them as he asked urgently.

  Tang Yuru's expression darkened, and she sighed softly, saying: "It's too noisy here, let's go back and talk about it later."
