After her shower, Zhang Yuxi changed into a new dress and asked while blow-drying her hair, "Honey, call and ask where the kids are. They seem to have all vanished."
Lin Feng replied, "I already asked. We're all gathering at Wen Xiaoya's parents' place soon."
By evening, when the couple arrived, they could hear the lively, boisterous sounds of the children playing from a distance. The loudest was Little Bao, whose chirping was audible from far away. They could also smell the fragrant aroma of barbecue, and smoke was wafting from the yard.
The moment Lin Feng stepped into the yard, he called out to Little Bao, "I could hear you from a mile away. How is your voice so loud?"
Little Bao scampered over and threw her arms around her dad. "Daddy, Daddy, why are you back so late?"
Lin Feng poked her on the forehead. "What's wrong? Are you hungry, or did you miss me?"
Little Bao giggled. "Both."
