Lu Chenyuan was waiting at the entrance of the shopping mall for the mother and son to come out, the dense black night enveloping them, with a refreshingly cool breeze caressing their faces, the air carrying the faint scent of osmanthus flowers.
It was the osmanthus blooming season again in Hai City.
A few years ago, Lin Yan also arrived in Hai City at this time, her heart full of aspiration towards the future.
Her initial dream was simple: work hard to save enough money, return to the countryside to build a little house, marry Lu Chenyuan, and have children.
She had been so naïve to believe that as long as they both worked hard, their dreams would come true, a notion so silly it made her laugh in retrospect.
Bounding happily towards Daddy, Ou ran over, and Lu Chenyuan bent down to easily scoop up the little one, his strong arms tightly embracing the little guy.
Ou blinked and flashed an OK sign; he had completed the task Daddy had given him quite well.
