After arriving at a nearly 30-story high-rise building, Lin Chenming introduced to Lin Chenxing, "Because the housing supply is still relatively tight now, although my parents and I already have Martial Artist We have good physical fitness, but because we have always stayed in the safe zone, we did not choose those villas. However, the place we live in now is not bad. It is on the seventh floor of this building. The entire house has an area of more than 180 square meters, which is completely enough to live in."

Lin Chenxing looked at the building, which looked pretty good overall, nodded, and wanted to follow Lin Chenming into the building, but he didn't know how to step in.

Lin Chenming hugged Lin Chenxing's shoulders and dragged Lin Chenxing inside.

After going up to the seventh floor in one breath, Lin Chenxing stood in front of the door, feeling increasingly nervous. He hadn't been home for more than five years, and had lost contact with his family for nearly five years. He didn't know how his parents were doing now. Are they okay? Are they haggard?

Thousands of thoughts came to mind at this moment, and Lin Chenxing became increasingly at a loss, just like he said about his brother before.

Lin Chenming inserted the key into the keyhole and pushed the door open. The sound of the door opening naturally alerted the two elders who were reading the newspaper and knitting sweaters.

Cao Jinxi stopped knitting and looked at the door. He looked at Lin Chenming who walked in strangely. Lin Chenming had a smile on his face and saw Cao Jinxi was stunned for a moment, then took another look at the clock hanging on the wall, and asked in surprise, "Why are you back so early? Isn't it still a few hours before get off work? And Beast Tide is here today, won't you be back even later?"

Lin Yue did not put down the newspaper in his hand, but just said, "I guess he came back to get something."

Lin Chenming stretched his hand out the door, pulled Lin Chenxing in, and said, "Dad, Mom, look who's coming."

Cao Jinxi looked at Lin Chenxing who was standing at the door without saying a word. His hands began to tremble, and the needle and thread in his hands fell to the ground. He muttered, "Chenxing."

Then he quickly stood up, walked towards Lin Chenxing tremblingly, and stretched his hands towards Lin Chenxing's cheeks.

When Lin Yue heard Cao Jinxi say the word "Chenxing", his eyes that were still reading the newspaper suddenly flashed with light, and he suddenly looked up at the door. The newspaper was pinched in a lot of wrinkles in his hands.

Tears burst from Cao Jinxi's eyes, and he just stared at Lin Chenxing's hand, unwilling to look away.

Lin Yue smiled after a long absence, nodded to Lin Chenxing, and then turned his gaze back to the newspaper. It seemed calm, but there were a few wet spots on the newspaper.

Lin Chenming saw this and was not affected. His mood had already calmed down on the way back, so he said, "Mom, it's not good to stand at the door all the time when I'm back. Let's go in and sit down first."

Only then did Cao Jinxi feel that it was inappropriate, wiped away his tears, grabbed Lin Chenxing's hand, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and then sat down next to Lin Chenxing.

Lin Chenming went to the water dispenser and poured some boiling water. Each person placed a cup on the coffee table and sat down. He listened to Cao Jinxi asking Lin Chenxing questions, as if he wanted to know everything about Lin Chenxing in the past three years.

At this time, Lin Yue also put away the newspaper and listened, as if he remembered something, and asked Lin Chenming: "Have you notified Xiao Meng to come back too?"

Lin Chenming nodded and said, "I already called Xiaoyi's work unit at the phone booth on the way. She said she has come out and should be back soon."

Lin Yue thought for a while, got up, went into the kitchen, and started making dinner.

About ten minutes later, the door to the house was opened again, and a woman with short hair walked in, her belly still slightly bulging. Lin Chenming quickly walked to the door, took the things in the woman's hands and put them aside, hugged the woman and sat aside.

Cao Jinxi saw his daughter-in-law coming back and quickly introduced, "Xiao Meng, she's back. Come, let me introduce you. This is Chen Ming's younger brother Chen Xing, who just came from another base. Chen Xing, this is your sister-in-law Meng Xiaoyi. They have been married for a year. You see, you are going to be an uncle soon."

Lin Chenxing was also very pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect to hear such good news this time when I came back. It was really unexpected, so I asked, "Brother, sister-in-law, it's been about a few months, have you thought about the name of the child?"

"It's been a little over five months. As for the name, both men and women still don't know how to come up with it." Lin Chenming said.

Meng Xiaoyi also wanted to know more about this uncle who had been mentioned by her husband and parents-in-law before, so she asked, "Which Base City did Chenxing come from this time?"

"Xingyan, it's not Base City yet, but it will be soon." Lin Chenxing's tone also revealed a sense of pride.

"Xingyan." Meng Xiaoyi thought for a while, but did not find the information about this base in his mind, and asked, "Chenxing, are you going to build Base City yourself? I remember that the requirements for establishing Base City are very high."

Lin Chenxing said, "Yes. But before I came, I, Xingyan, already had two Advanced War God, nearly ten Intermediate War God, and more than twenty Primary War God. I have even broken through the War God level and am fully capable of guarding a Base City. I have also communicated with Commander Jia before, and Kyoto Base City will also support our construction."

"Breaking through the War God level..." After hearing these words, Cao Jinxi and the others were instantly shocked. That was the same level as Commander Jia. There was such a person in their family who was almost invincible at this stage. This news directly made the three of them dizzy. It was really hard to accept.

"You heard that right." Lin Chenxing said, "I also set out here after clearing out the monsters near the base after the breakthrough. It is convenient to come back. On the one hand, I came here this time to see if you are here, and on the other hand, I also want you to go to Xingyan with me."

"Are you going to Xingyan?" Lin Chenming started to think, but he didn't think for too long before he said, "Let your parents go with you first. Your sister-in-law and I can't go there for the time being. After all, your sister-in-law can't go with you in her current condition. Let's wait until the child grows up, and then you can come and pick us up."

Cao Jinxi also agreed, "It's really not appropriate now. We are relatively safe here Jiangnan. The bumps along the way are not good for your sister-in-law's unborn child. Let's wait a little later. Your dad and I will stay first so that we can take care of her later."

Lin Chenxing It's a bit regretful, but for the safety of my sister-in-law and children, this is indeed the best way.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Our situation is relatively simple, as you can see. Let's talk about your side. Have you found any good girls to talk to in the past few years?" Cao Jinxi began to talk about the things that parents ask most.

Lin Chenxing was a little helpless at his mother's jumping thoughts. This was the question he least wanted to answer.

Just like that, the warmth of a normal family began to flow throughout the room.
