Chapter 162 - 158 Come Back, One Update
The next day at 5 a.m., they disembarked and went through customs. It took a full hour of inspection before they were released. During this time, both of them were asked a lot of questions, such as who they met and the like. The questions were repeatedly asked. If one was too tired and not focused enough, it was easy to slip up. Luckily, before they set off, Xu Xi met with them and wrote down most of the questions they needed to answer, allowing both to memorize them thoroughly.
After leaving customs, the two, with their six bags messed up from the search, got into a car that had been waiting and sped towards the capital.
At that time, one could take a train or a long-distance bus from Shanghai to the capital, a drive taking about seven or eight hours, or a train taking about an entire night.
Li Xianglu was drowsy, having forced herself to stay alert at customs, but now relaxed and fell asleep leaning against Qin Xi.
Qin Xi, somewhat resignedly, spread a towel on his lap for her to lie on, while he himself sat by the window.
The car belonged to the embassy and had a smooth journey. They had a bite to eat on the way and didn’t stop again, finally arriving at around four in the afternoon. The car had scarcely stopped when the wooden gate of the courtyard opened, and a dark figure rushed out. Li Qinxi had just opened the car door to see the figure pull the door wide open: "Bro, bro, why did you just come back now?"
The exuberant behavior was like that of an excited family dog, eagerly greeting its owner upon their return.
Li Xianglu, having eaten at noon, did not sleep again and either looked out the car window or chatted with Qin Xi. Now arriving home, she was also delighted. She didn’t pay attention to Qin Zhen but got out of the car and ran towards Mr. Li, who was coming from behind, and embraced him: "Grandpa!"
"Ouch, my Xiangxiang, oh!" Mr. Li too had missed his granddaughter, letting go of her and then looked her up and down. She hadn’t lost weight; in fact, her complexion was quite rosy. It was just that her eyes were a bit swollen. He had received a call from Xu Xi the day before, saying that Ah Yin mentioned, this girl’s eyes had swelled from crying, sigh.
