Chapter 1
Qian Yu hasn't seen his father, Qian Sheng, for two years. Since his third year of middle school, when his father went to the mountains to contract several hills for tree-planting. they rarely met. They only reunited once a year during Chinese New Year; otherwise, they lived apart.
Qian Yu remembered his father being incredibly doting on his during his childhood.Apart from work, he devoted almost all of his private time to him, feeding him, playing with him, putting him to sleep, often holding his close and kissing his cheek. But when he entered junior high, his father seemed like a different person. Not only did he stop being affectionate, but he also went to the mountains to plant trees. Although his father explained it was to earn more money, Qian Yu sensed that he was deliberately distancing himself from him. He didn't know what he had done wrong. He cried and argued with his father, but eventually, they grew more distant.
Qian Yu, a freshman at the University of Arts, planned to do some sketching during this summer vacation. He suddenly thought of visiting his father. Despite their current lack of intimacy, after two years apart, he still missed him. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to sketch and mend their relationship at the same time.
His mother intended to accompany him, but work kept her occupied, so she planned to join them later. Therefore, Qian Yu embarked on the journey to A Province with his luggage alone.
Before departing, he called his father. He didn't idnt sound very enthusiastic, mentioning the dullness of life in the mountains and worrying that he might not adjust well. Qian Yu sensed his reluctance in his tone and felt a bit disheartened, but he insisted on going. His father didn't say much more and promised to pick him up at the airport.
As the plane landed in Qiu City, A Province,
Qian Yu saw his father in the crowd. He was a tall and handsome man, standing out conspicuously.
Qian Yu felt a sense of pride: "My dad looks so handsome, a 40year-old hunk!"
When his father was young, he served in the army. possessing an excellent physique and attractive facial features. Although he was 40 now, he still appeared to be in his thirties.However, after two years of separation, his father seemed even stronger and tanned.
"Dad!" Qian Yu waved excitedly, standing on his tiptoes.
Qian Yu inherited his appearance and figure entirely from his mother, beautiful and delicate, standing at l65 cm. Compared to his 185 cm father, he looked petite and charming.
Although Qian Sheng wasn't entirely in favor of his son's visit over the phone, upon seeing him, he was genuinely happy. He hurried over, seemingly wanting to embrace him, but as he approached, he became reserved and just smiled, calling out to him, "Xiao Yu."
Despite mentally preparing himself, Qin Yu felt a bit sad meeting his father's coldness. Pouting, his eyes reddening., he coquettishly asked, "Dad, it's been two years. Can I hug you?"
Qian Sheng expression froze for a moment, but eventually, he opened his arms and said, "Sure."
Qian Yu instantly smiled, happily running over and leaping onto his father. He wrapped his arms around his neck and his legs around his waist, like a koala.
Resting his head on his father's shoulder, he softly said, "Dad, I missed you so much!"
Although he was 19 years old, he still looked like a little boy in front of his burly father, and he was very easy to hold. His father did not expect that he would jump directly on him,but he still caught him firmly, closed his eyes,and said hoarsely, "Dad also misses baby, very much."
The father and son pair hugged each other in this posture for a while, and then Qian Sheng put Qian Yu down and said, "Let's go, Dad will take you to the farmhouse."
"Mhm!"
Qian Sheng stretched out his hand to take Qian Yu luggage and pulled it along. He was tall and long-legged, and took long steps. Qian Yu trotted to keep up, and finally simply held his father's hand.
Qian Sheng felt uncomfortable being held by his son, but he didn't let him go.
Seeing that his father did not reject his affectionate gesture, Qian Yu was secretly happy. He thought that if he shamelessly pestered his father in the future, their father-son relationship would definitely be restored to what it was like when he was younger!
It took more than three hours to drive from the airport to the house at the foot of the mountain. By the time they arrived, the sun had already begun to set, illuminating the sky with a red hue.
The farmhouse also belonged to his father. It was for leisure and getaways, with many rooms, but his father led him all the way into a small courtyard in the back, which was his exclusive courtyard.
"I have arranged the largest room for you. See if you like it. The floor-to-ceiling window opens to the backyard, and when you go out, you will see the back mountain." Qian Yu's father led him into a bedroom that was decorated simply yet with taste. "The room is usually cleaned by cleaners. The clothes will also be collected and washed, so you don't have to do any of these chores."
Qian Yu looked around and said to his father,"The living environment here is very nice, so why don't you ever let me come?"
Qian Sheng's eyes flickered and he didn't meet his eyes. He just said vaguely: "It's usually very quiet here and there's not much much to do. I was worried that you'd be bored."
Qian Yu shook his head, "With Dad here, how can it be boring?"
He suddenly blinked, looked at Qian Sheng with a serious expression, and said, "Dad, do you have another woman here, is that why you never let me come?!"
Qian Sheng couldn't decide whether he was angry or amused, "Where is your mind at? I'm here, working hard every day, where would I find a woman?"
"That's good then."
Qian Sheng was afraid that he's tired from the long journey, so he let him go take a shower and change his clothes first. The weather was hot, and a comfortable bath could relieve his fatigue. "I'll call you when dinner is ready." After that, he left the bedroom.
Qian Yu dug out a white sleeveless clothing from his suitcase. He didn't like the heat and liked to wear clothes like these every summer. They made him feel refreshed.
He bathed in the bathtub, wore his clothe, and went out in slippers without even wiping his hair. How could he be in the mood to rest? He just wanted to chat with his father now.
However, after searching around the yard, he didn't see any sign of his father. Finally, he heard some movements in the backyard, so he went around the small door in the back to take a look. When he looked inside, he saw his father and he was almost naked wearing his briefs.Star
