Early in the morning, the Lu residence's doors were opened. An old man in his sixties came out of the door and swept the fallen leaves with a broom.
After sweeping a few times, the broom stopped in front of a pair of green male boots. The old man lowered his gaze until he could clearly see the person's appearance …
"Master! My lady! Second Young Master is back! "
"Second Young Master is back! Eldest Young Master, Eldest Young Madam!" Second Young Master is back! "
"Miss Biao, Miss Biao, Second Young Master is back!"
The Lu residence, which was originally quiet, suddenly became rowdy. Even the chickens and ducks in the backyard were chirping non-stop.
Second Young Master Lu, whose Lu Family had been lost for more than a year — Lu Haoran finally returned home.
— —
Lu Haoran washed up and changed into a new set of clothes, then appeared in front of the two Lu Family elders refreshingly.
He kneeled down to pay his respects to the two elders, apologizing for the absence of any news from him during the past year.
Although Lu’s father said that he was not a filial child, and that he did not know how to bring news back to his home while he was away, he could not hide the joy in his eyes. Not to mention that Mother Lu was already in tears, she couldn't even speak. After receiving his father's nod of approval, Lu Haoran stood up, greeted his elder brother and elder sister-in-law, and sat down by the side.
Lu’s father asked: "Haoran, where have you been for the past year?"
Lu Haoran had a look of shame on his face as he scratched his head and said, "I was saved from my severe injuries. I stayed in a household and recuperated from my injuries for the better half of a year …"
The entire Lu Family shook as they heard the news of his injury. Mother Lu even went forward and held onto her son's shoulder to carefully size him up: "My son! Where are you hurt? How are your injuries? "Is there …"
"Mom, I'm fine now!"
"It's understandable for me to be seriously injured, but why didn't you inform my family?!" When Lu’s father heard his son say that he had nothing better to do, he steeled his face and asked, "Do you know that in the past year, we have been gathering information on you everywhere, and you still think you died outside?!"
Lu Haoran stood up again and knelt down towards his father: "Your child is guilty, your child has forgotten many things because I didn't suffer too much. It was only last month when I remembered who I was, did I rush back to apologize to my parents."
Hearing that, Lu’s father's face tightened, his heart was unwilling to let it go. Mother Lu immediately helped her son up and pulled him to her side. Are you really all right? Remember the past? "
"Of course, although there are still some things that are unclear, I remember most of them."
"Then... Do you still remember about Caiyun? "
When Lu Haoran heard the two words "Caiyun", his face actually reddened slightly as he said softly, "Of course I remember …"
's parents heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this. Mother Lu patted her son's hand and said: "She has been waiting for you for over a year. Quickly go and see her!"
Lu Haoran nodded, and quickly withdrew himself from the laughter of his parents and sister-in-law.
Wang Caiyun was Lu Haoran's cousin. She, whose parents had died early, had lived in the Lu Family since childhood. She and Lu Haoran grew up together, and could be said to be childhood friends.
Seeing the two of them being so intimate, the two elders of the Lu Family made the decision to marry them. Wang Caiyun had admired her second cousin since she was young, so she naturally agreed. Since young, Lu Haoran had always pampered and protected her, and he had no objections, thus the marriage was set.
Originally, when Wang Caiyun was eighteen years old, he had planned to give them this joyous event. However, when Lu Haoran was eighteen years old, he left a long distance away, and after half a year, there was no news of him. It wasn't until today, a year later, that he reappeared, Wang Caiyun, and his marriage was naturally delayed.
Lu Haoran thought of his cousin who had been waiting for him at home for more than a year and felt that he owed her. He hesitated for a while as he held onto the hairpin in his hand, but in the end, he still headed towards Caiyun's house.
Caiyun already knew that Lu Haoran was going home, so she had dressed up early to wait for her cousin. After seeing Lu Haoran, he was slightly startled, but after that he smiled gently and said softly: "Cousin Haoran."
Seeing his cousin whom he had not seen for a long time, Lu Haoran was naturally excited. He responded with a smile: "Cousin sister, how have you been?"
The two of them actually acted as if they didn't know how to be polite after being reunited for such a long time.
They looked at each other for a moment and laughed.
Caiyun's taut shoulders said, "Cousin, I really didn't know that I would send a message home even after going out for so long! Do you know what's on my mind? "
Lu Haoran also recovered his original feeling, and laughed awkwardly: "Aren't I here to apologize?" With that said, he took out the hairpin in his hand and said, "When I passed by South City, I specially went to the Cai Die Xuan to buy this, do you like it?"
Cai Die Xuan's jewelry had always been a girl's favorite, and Lu Haoran's carefully chosen hairpin was even more exquisite, so how could Cai Yun not like it?
She played with the hairpin in her hand as she smiled and said, "Cousin, put it on for me."
Lu Haoran received the hairpin and very naturally helped Caiyun put it on, praising her with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for over a year.
Caiyun pursed her lips to feign anger, "You're so poor!" Then he smiled and asked, "Really?"
Lu Haoran nodded sincerely, he did not look the least bit deceived as his eyes looked deeply into Caiyun's eyes.
Caiyun felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. Her face reddened, and she didn't speak for a long time …

The news of Lu Haoran's return spread far and wide in the Poyang City, and some of his former friends all came over to offer their condolences. Lu Haoran then opened a private room in the city's most famous restaurant, Xuan Yue Tower, to entertain his friends.
Those who came to meet were all young people about the same age, and they didn't leave until late at night.
Lu Haoran was drunk as he staggered home.
As he walked, he suddenly stopped and started to talk to a tree by the side of the road. After he said something, he started to vomit. After he finished, he continued to sway forward, but after a few steps, his body fell to the side and he fell asleep on the side of the road.
After he fell asleep, two people, one big and one small, walked out of an alley thirty feet away from him. The big one directed the younger one to take a look. The younger one ran up and observed him for a while before withdrawing, "Young Master, I'm afraid he's sleeping to death." As soon as he said that, the man who called out to him let out a long sigh and said to himself, "If you are happy, then so be it. Why are you so drunk?" Then he squatted and said: "Quan Er, help me support him."
Quan Er stepped forward and supported the young master up to the Lu Family entrance from the left and right, gently placing him outside. The young master said: "Knock on the door!" Quan Er nodded and knocked a few times.
"Who is it?" someone asked from behind the door. Quan Er turned and ran.
The servant of Lu Family came out to open the door, and saw the Second Young Master who was drunk beyond recognition, and became flustered.
The Young Master and Quan Er hid behind a tree in the distance until they saw them carry Lu Haoran in.
Quan Er followed her master and asked: "Didn't you say that you don't know him? Why do you care about him?"
Young Master rolled his eyes at Quan Er, and did not say a word.
Quan Er sighed: "In the end, Young Noble won't let him go?"
The Young Noble knocked on Quan Er's head with his knuckles, and was slightly angered: "I asked you to meddle, what happened to the thing I asked you to inquire about?"
Quan Er answered: "Do we still need to ask about this? Everyone who came to drink today knows that the eighth day of next month will be the day Young Master Lu will be happy. "
"How's the bride?"
"The bride is a childhood sweetheart of his. Her looks, character, and personality are all very good."
Hearing this, the young master seemed a little disappointed as he muttered, "Is that so …" "As long as it's all good …"
Seeing that, Quan Er did not fear death and asked: "Does Young Noble truly think it's good?"
The young master was startled and frowned: "Otherwise what?! Since when did a servant like you start meddling in my affairs? " With that, he raised his hand to hit it.
Quan Er said he didn't dare, as he grabbed his head and escaped.
That Young Master did not fake the fact that he stopped after taking two steps forward. He turned his head to look at the direction of the Lu Family, and sighed again.
Ten more days. In ten days, you'll be someone else's …
