Richard opened the door of his house, walked from the entrance to the living room, and found two people sitting in the living room. They sat facing each other like strangers, without the slightest clue that they had given birth to a child.

Yes, sitting in the living room are his father and... his mother.

The woman turned around and saw Richard coming back. She immediately stood up, opened her arms, and said happily: "Oh, my dear son is back."

"Mother!"

Richard hugged his mother.

"I heard that you went on a mission?"

"Yes, because I want to earn some coupons through my own abilities so that I can give my beloved mother an exquisite gift on her next birthday."

"Oh, you're so good." Kaixi kissed her son on the forehead.

Eisen stood up at this time and said: "Richard, entertain your mother."

After saying that, he quickly walked into the room on the first floor and closed the door as if he was escaping.

"It would be great if your father could be as cheerful as you..." Kaixi said with emotion.

"It's because my father gave me all his sunshine."

"You are getting better and better at talking, my son. How are you? Is the task hard?"

“It’s not hard, it’s very fulfilling.”

"Then what are you responsible for in the team?"

"Hide in the dark with my captain and teammates to protect the target person."

"Really, you must be very tired. Do you want to take a shower first?"

"Okay, Mom, I'll go upstairs and take a shower first."

"By the way, your grandpa is upstairs. Go say hello to your grandpa."

"Grandpa is here too? Okay, I understand, mom."

Richard walked up to the second floor and knocked on the study door.

"Enter."

"grandfather."

"Back." Delong did not sit behind the desk, but stood in front of the wall, looking at the old family photo.

"Well, I'm back, the mission is over."

"Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired. It's my first time to perform a mission. It's very fulfilling from beginning to end."

"Are your father and mother talking down there?"

"Even if you go upstairs and leave the living room downstairs to the two of them, do you think they can talk to each other?"

"Well, I don't know how your father became like this. He was just a bit withdrawn when he was a child. Now that his son is so old, he ends up living more and more."

"I think we can find a psychiatrist for my father to take a look."

"Will it be useful?"

"It's definitely useless if you don't look at it."

"Then give it a try. Go look for it and pay attention."

"Okay, Grandpa, but when I find a suitable psychiatrist, I still need you to tell me to ask my father to see him."

"Of course I know this."

Delong took two steps back, but his eyes still stayed on the photo.

"Is grandpa thinking about my aunt?"

"Well, when your father was a child, he would smile and become more lively only when your aunt took him with him. I have been thinking that if your aunt was still alive and living in our family, your father would probably also

It won't become what it is now.

Your aunt's child should be about the same age as you, maybe a little older than you, and you can also have a cousin."

"By the way, Grandpa, why are you and your parents at home? Did your mother come back from Sangpu City specifically to visit relatives?"

"She had a business trip to York City, so she came home to see her."

"Oh, that's it."

"Richard, don't blame your mother."

"I have never blamed my mother. If I were a mother, it would probably be difficult for me to accept facing such a husband every day."

"It's not appropriate for you as a son to say such things."

"We are all a family, so we can understand it. Grandpa, I'm going to take a shower first."

"Go ahead."

Richard closed the study door and heard a noise downstairs. He leaned toward the stairs and found his sister-in-law's voice below;

My sister-in-law is here too?

Richard did not go downstairs, but walked into the bathroom. While taking off his clothes, he paused: The whole family is back, and they are all still at home?

You know, this home hasn't been so tidy for several years.

Richard couldn't help but think of what the captain said to him before he came back.

"It seems like something is really going to happen."

Richard finished his bath, changed his clothes, walked into his room, but deliberately left the bedroom door open, and lay down on the bed.

The sounds from the living room downstairs came intermittently, mostly from my sister-in-law and my mother chatting. After a while, I heard my grandfather's voice, and he must have gone downstairs.

Richard, who was lying on the bed, began to feel sleepy. He had been standing in the elevator for the past few days. He slept against the wall of the elevator. He had not touched the bed for a few days. This encounter made him reluctant to leave, and his sleepiness was also dragged away.

came out.

But Richard still managed to stay awake. Later, he felt that lying on the bed was too painful, so he simply got out of bed and leaned sideways against the wall at the door of the bedroom, as if he was still performing a task in the elevator.

I was half asleep and half awake, and I don't know how much time had passed, but I noticed that the sound from downstairs had stopped.

Richard immediately opened his eyes, as if someone pressed the elevator button, and quickly fell into consciousness.

Immediately, Richard walked downstairs, and sure enough, he happened to see his grandfather, father, mother and sister-in-law just walking from the living room to the entrance.

"Sister-in-law, you are here!"

Richard greeted his sister-in-law warmly.

"Look, our glorious Whip of Order is back."

Kaixi looked at her son with concern and asked, "Aren't you sleeping?"

"I just slept for a while, I'm going on a date with Belina."

"Who is Belina?" Kaixi asked doubtfully.

"It's a girl your son dated recently." My sister-in-law said, "I remember this name."

"Yes, a very gentle girl. Her father is a missionary of the Reincarnation Cult, and her mother is from Rui Lan. She is very good at making Rui Lan dishes. I think I may have a chance to taste it tonight."

Richard noticed that when he said these words, his father, mother and sister-in-law all looked normal.

Hey, isn't that right?

"Richard, my grandson."

At this time, Deron, who had already reached the door, stepped back and pointed at Richard:

"After returning from a mission, I feel that you need to rest now and get enough rest. I know that young people like to play, but they also need to divide their time.

So, for the sake of your health, I hope you will sleep at home today. You are an adult and you have to control the rhythm of your life and work, you know?"

"I know, Grandpa."

"I don't want you to lie to me. You must keep what you promise me, otherwise grandpa will be very angry."

"Yes, grandpa, I listen to you. I'm not going anywhere today. I'm just going to have a good rest at home."

"Well, okay."

"Have a good rest, son." Kaixi hugged Richard and then followed them out of the house.

Richard did not go back to his bedroom, but went to sit on the sofa in the living room and said to himself: "Grandpa's reaction was very sensitive. My father, mother and sister-in-law didn't respond. Does this mean they are going to...

So far, only grandpa knows about the place and the tasks to be performed, and father, mother, sister-in-law, they don’t have the authority to know this now?

Is there such a strict confidentiality procedure? Even my own children must strictly abide by it."

"Dingling bell..."

The phone rang and Richard answered it.

"Hey, it's me."
