The sky is so blue, without a trace of floating clouds, as if filtered from all impurities, radiantly glowing.

Under the vast firmament!

The wide road stretches like a beautiful black ribbon into the distance...

Driving a BYD, Huang Tao was on his way to Li Zhicheng’s house.

But as it was nearing the end of the year, there were many vehicles on the road, causing some traffic jams.

As a result, a journey that usually took only 20 minutes ended up taking nearly 40 minutes to complete.

When he drove over, the entrance gate of the community was lowered, barring unauthorized entry.

Huang Tao rolled down the car window and was about to talk to the security guard when the guard greeted him, "Ah? Coming to visit, Boss Huang?"

Huang Tao scrutinized the guard with some confusion.

So friendly, do we know each other?

The guard laughed and said, "Boss Huang, I’m a regular at your restaurant! I often go there to eat."

This took Huang Tao by surprise.

He didn’t expect to run into one of his customers here, haha~

However, looking at Wenling City as a whole, it’s no exaggeration to say that about two-thirds of the people are customers of Delicious Restaurant, right?!

So, it’s not surprising to meet a customer here!

The guard continued, "Boss Huang, you’re visiting relatives in the community, right? Let me open the gate for you, go on in."

With that said.

He pressed the remote control button, and the gate automatically opened.

Huang Tao laughed and thanked him, "Thanks a lot!"

"But, should I register or something?"

The guard waved his hand, "Boss Huang, no need for you to register, just go right in."

Um~

All other visitors register to enter, but he... gets in by recognition?!

Huang Tao felt a bit embarrassed.

"Isn’t this inappropriate?"

The guard chuckled, "It’s fine, we’re all like family."

"Thanks, then."

Having spoken so much, Huang Tao had no choice but to drive in.

"Thank you, Grandpa~"

Xuanxuan leaned out of the window, waving her thanks to the guard.

"Such a good girl!"

The guard waved back at Xuanxuan with a smile and then took out his phone to take a side photo of Huang Tao.

He then posted it in his security group chat.

The charismatic Shen: Caught Boss Huang at the community gate, anyone know why he’s visiting?]

The group chat had only a few members, just 8, but they were all loyal customers of Delicious Restaurant.

So, once the message was posted.

The group chat burst into excitement!

Wine Opener: Oh wow, really? But from the side, it does look a bit like Boss Huang! By the way, why didn’t Boss Huang enter through my north gate? I would’ve run into him.

Midnight Tavern: Ah, it really is Boss Huang! But what’s he doing in our community? If I’m not mistaken, Boss Huang’s home is over on West City Old Street!

Bartender Poet: I guess he’s visiting relatives, after all, it’s almost New Year, it’s normal to visit relatives.

Joyful Wine: True, but who’s so blessed to have Boss Huang as a relative...

Once this was said.

The guards were all envious of the relative being visited by Huang Tao.

Of course, they were also curious about who this mysterious relative was.

Meanwhile, Huang Tao had parked the car and then took Xuanxuan out of the safety seat.

Xuanxuan curiously looked around the community and asked, "Daddy, does Mr. Li live here? It’s bigger than our community!"

He had already asked Gu Zhihao earlier and knew that Teacher Li Zhicheng currently lived in this community, knowing exactly which unit, which floor.

Gu Zhihao even asked why he wanted Teacher Li’s home address, was he going to visit Teacher Li?

Upon answering yes, Gu Zhihao then said he’d visit together another day.

However.

Before coming this morning, Huang Tao called him. The guy "forgot friends for a girl," went shopping with his girlfriend Zhang Linya, and couldn’t make it.

Haha~

Truly, once he got a wife, he forgot about the matchmaker...

Of course.

Huang Tao wouldn’t mind at all or bother with such trivial issues!

He smiled, patted Xuanxuan’s little head, nodded, and said, "Yes!"

Finally, he praised Xuanxuan, "Xuanxuan observes so well, really great."

"Hee hee~"

Xuanxuan was overjoyed, feeling giddy from the unexpected praise.

Huang Tao took down the fruit basket and some high-end nutritional supplements purchased on the way.

"Daddy, let me help you with it..."

Xuanxuan volunteered eagerly.

Considering the fruits and supplements were heavy, too much for the small Xuanxuan, Huang Tao smiled and gently declined, "Thank you, sweetheart, but Daddy can handle it for now, you can help when Daddy gets tired!"

"Alright~"

Seeing her father effortlessly carry the gifts with one hand, Xuanxuan sensibly agreed with his suggestion.

She held her dad’s hand and walked down the tree-lined path with him.

When they arrived in front of a unit building.

This is the place!

As they approached the elevator, the door opened slowly, and a graceful woman in a white coat stepped out, meeting him face-to-face.

Huang Tao was surprised.

The woman in white was also taken aback, then immediately smiled, "Huang Tao, are you here to see Teacher Li too?"

Huang Tao nodded, "Yes, Su Qing, long time no see!"

This woman in white was his classmate and class belle Su Qing, who had once pursued Huang Tao but was kindly declined by him.

After all, he already had someone he liked at the time, Xuanxuan’s mom!

After graduation, Su Qing went to work in Capital City.

Counting, it’s been more than five years since they last met!

Over the years, Su Qing had become even more beautiful, with an added mature charm, yet her smile still looked familiar, albeit somewhat unfamiliar to Huang Tao.

"Huang Tao, I heard you now run a restaurant as a big boss?"

Huang Tao laughed, shaking his head, "What big boss, just getting by, that’s all!"

"By the way, how have you been?"

"Me? I’m doing well..."

Su Qing tucked a stray strand of hair, saying, "Oh, by the way, some old classmates are planning a get-together in the New Year, but I might not make it, as I’m going abroad to work after the New Year."

"Really!"

Huang Tao smiled, "Working abroad sounds great."

Su Qing’s gaze fell on Xuanxuan, whom Huang Tao was holding.

Knowing about Huang Tao’s situation, she guessed immediately and said, slightly surprised, "Your daughter is already this big, and she’s really cute!"

Xuanxuan politely said, "Hello, Auntie!"

Su Qing squatted down, took Xuanxuan’s little hand, smiling with her eyes, "Your name is Xuanxuan, right?"

"Yes!"

Xuanxuan nodded sweetly, "But Xuanxuan is my nickname, my full name is Huang Jingxuan."

"Hmm, Huang Jingxuan, what a lovely name."

Su Qing suddenly remembered something, hurriedly opened her handbag, and handed several hundred-yuan bills to Xuanxuan, "Here’s some New Year money from Auntie, wish you a happy and healthy growth."

Xuanxuan’s small hands didn’t know where to place them!

Looking up at her dad.

Upon seeing her dad nod, she gladly accepted them, expressing her thanks with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."

"What a good girl."

Su Qing gently patted Xuanxuan’s little head, stood up, and smiled sweetly at Huang Tao, "It’s getting late, I must go, my family’s still waiting outside. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Huang Tao nodded, "Safe travels."

Su Qing’s lips curled into a smile, "Thank you, I’ll visit your restaurant sometime to taste the dishes from the renowned chef."

Huang Tao smiled back, "You’re welcome anytime."

Su Qing waved at Xuanxuan as a farewell, then walked past Huang Tao.

Huang Tao turned his head, watching her silhouette disappear at the corridor’s entrance.

Goodbye, my old classmate!
