"Xiao Yu is back?"
At those words, Pan Cheng shot to his feet. "Didn't they say he wouldn't be back for a few more days? He came back that quickly?"
"Yeah. After you all headed out to sea, we got worried and urged him to come back... I forgot to tell you!"
The man shouted through the wooden cabin's window. "Should I have him come straight to you?"
"No need. Let him go home and rest up first!"
Pan Cheng said, "I'll go find him after I finish eating!"
"Got it!"
"Brother Pan seems quite close to this Brother Luo Yu."
Xu Shi slowly sipped his soup and casually remarked.
"Of course. How's he any different from my own child?"
Pan Cheng laughed heartily. "Younger Brother Xu, want to come with me later?"
"Sure."
Xu Shi did not refuse. He had long wanted to meet this young man who might be the protagonist.
"Dad, I'm going too! I haven't seen Brother Luo Yu in ages!"
Pan Feng hurriedly set down her bowl. "I'm done eating. Can we go now?"
"I-I'm going too..."
Her younger sister, Pan Ling, was timid and spoke softly, but it was obvious that she was excited as well.
"Look at how impatient you two are."
Pan Cheng chuckled helplessly, wearing the expression of a father whose daughters had grown up and could no longer be kept at home. "Finish your meals properly. Your Brother Luo Yu isn't going anywhere... We have a guest here. What kind of behavior is that?"
The sisters froze, then glanced at Xu Shi in unspoken agreement. Only then did they realize that they had indeed been somewhat rude, and both turned their faces away in embarrassment.
Xu Shi did not care much. He merely smiled at the sight.
Mm, this hangover
