Chapter 349 - 0349: First Meeting between Father and Son1_1
Hearing the familiar voice yet looking at a stranger’s silhouette, Feng Qingxue’s tears started to flow immediately.
Large round tears fell down her cheeks like loose pearls, landing on Xibao.
"It’s fine once you’re home...it’s fine once you’re home..." A choked voice echoed in the room. Feng Qingxue’s heart, which had been in suspense for the past half a year, finally relaxed. Rather than saying it’s good to be back, it’s better to say it’s good to be safe.
"Qingxue!" Lu Jiang stretched out his arms to hug her, and the child he had not met before, but the snow and ice all over him made him pause.
Feng Qingxue also saw his disheveled look and couldn’t help but say with disheartened concern, "Where have you come from? How come you look like you’re starving? Have you not been eating well? Have you been ambushing in the snow and ice? Why are your clothes so torn? Your military padded jacket is ripped, the cotton is showing!" Wanting to touch the frostbitten and scarred parts of his face, Xibao suddenly wriggled in her arms.
"Ah!" Xibao cried out, disrupting the couple’s affectionate gaze.
Lu Jiang did not answer his wife’s questions, but looked down at Xibao’s round eyes and a broad smile spread across his face, "Is this my son? Is he called Xibao? Good lad, he’s really chubby."
So chubby, so fair-skinned, such a sight wasn’t common in this era of scarcity.
He wanted to reach out to touch his son’s chubby cheeks, but worried that his rough and cracked fingers would hurt the baby’s tender face. His hand stretched halfway and then retracted, hanging at his side.
Xibao yawned lethargically, closed his eyes, and his nose bubbled with a bubble.
