As the first light of dawn broke, soft rays filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a warm glow in the bedroom of Lin Xiao Yu and Lu Zean. Lin Xiao Yu slowly awakened, her bright eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation. Today was the day of her return visit, and she was eager to show her mother how happy she was after marriage. She carefully selected a vibrant red dress, each fold smoothed out meticulously, every button fastened with care. Sitting at her vanity, she skillfully styled her hair to fall smoothly over her shoulders like black satin, and applied a delicate makeup that highlighted her features, a hint of blush blooming on her cheeks like spring peach blossoms.
Lu Zean was still lost in dreams when Lin Xiao Yu eagerly pulled him from the warmth of their bed. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he mumbled, "Wife, the sun isn't even fully up yet. You're more enthusiastic than a rooster." Lin Xiao Yu feigned annoyance and lightly punched him, saying, "You know today is an important day; we can't be careless."
Together, they organized the gifts they had prepared. For Song Ying, there was a precious bird's nest gift box, its translucent contents carefully wrapped as if filled with love; along with a fashionable cashmere shawl that felt as soft as a lover's caress. For Lin Wufeng, they chose fine tea leaves that exuded a gentle fragrance, whispering tales of tranquil days; and a comfortable massage chair to help ease his fatigue. For her brother Lin Dongzhe, there was a stylish designer tie with exquisite patterns that showcased his taste; and a long-desired limited edition model, every detail crafted to perfection.
As they traveled, Lu Zean held Lin Xiao Yu's hand tightly, noticing the slight tremor in her fingertips—a sign of her nervousness and excitement. He gently reassured her, "Don't worry, my dear. This is just a homecoming." Lin Xiao Yu shot him an amused glance and playfully retorted, "Homecoming? You make it sound like we just returned from battle." Though her words carried a hint of complaint, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift in a smile.
When they arrived at her family’s home, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng were already waiting at the door with beaming smiles. Tears of joy sparkled in Song Ying's eyes as she hurried forward to grasp Lin Xiao Yu's hands tightly. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "My precious daughter, you’re finally back." Her gaze spoke volumes of the longing and concern from their time apart. Lin Wufeng laughed heartily as he approached Lu Zean and clapped him on the shoulder with vigor. "Son-in-law, was your journey smooth?" Lu Zean nodded eagerly with a smile. "Yes, Dad, it went very well."
Once inside, the family gathered around together, filling the room with laughter and joy. Lu Zean acted like an attentive child as he presented each gift one by one with sweet words: "Mom and Dad, this is some nourishing supplement for you; I hope your health continues to improve. Mom, you’ll look stunning in this shawl; the color will complement your complexion beautifully. Dad, I specially sourced this tea for you; it has a rich flavor—give it a try. And Brother Lin Dongzhe, here’s your tie; it’s stylish and suits your demeanor perfectly. This model was quite hard to find; I know you've been wanting it."
Lin Dongzhe accepted the gift with a smile and expressed his gratitude: "You’re thoughtful, brother-in-law." Lin Xiao Yu chimed in from the side: "This was all carefully chosen by Lu Zean." Song Ying and Lin Wufeng couldn't stop smiling; their expressions were filled with appreciation and blessings for the couple.
