Don’t Give Up, Take Your Time

In the end, Bai Di introduced Huanhuan.

“This is your mother. She had no choice but to separate from us because of some accidents. We came to Sun City this time to bring you brothers home.”

As soon as he said this, Bai An and Bai Hao were stunned.

They had always thought that their mother was dead. Unexpectedly, their mother was still alive, and she was back!

Seeing that the brothers were silent, Huanhuan became even more nervous.

However, the other party was her sons, after all. They had been separated for so many years. Now that they had finally met, she had to take the initiative.

She gathered her courage and said, “Big White, Little White, I—”

Before she could finish, Bai Hao interrupted, “Wait.”

Huanhuan froze.

Bai Hao said, “You look like an underaged female, but our mother is clearly an adult. You don’t look like our mother at all.”

Huanhuan quickly explained, “This is the aftereffect of drinking dragon blood. My body consumed too much energy, so I can only maintain this state for the time being. In a few days, I’ll be back to normal.”

“Dragon blood?” Bai An and Bai Hao looked puzzled.

Even Bai Luo couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you have something as precious as dragon blood?”

Bai Di explained for Huanhuan, “We exchanged it with the gnomes on the dawn continent.”

Bai An and Bai Hao were even more confused. “What kind of place is the dawn continent?”

“It’s a long story. Everyone, let’s sit down and talk.”

There was a long table in the banquet hall, but Bai Di thought it was too big for the family, so he got someone to set up a small table under the big tree by the door. The family sat down at the table.

It was already evening, and the sky was gradually darkening.

The beasts’ natural night vision allowed them to see clearly in the night without light, but in order to take care of Huanhuan, they had placed a few torches beside her.

Bai Di told them about their experience on the dawn continent and the secret dragon continent.

As Bai Luo had heard it once before, he did not pay too much attention to it this time. Instead, he focused most of his attention on Huanhuan and Clement.

He saw that Clement had been eating non-stop. Moreover, his appetite was huge. The combined appetite of these adult male beasts was inferior to that of a child.

Bai Luo couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Why does Clement eat so much?”

Huanhuan said, “He was born to eat more than others.”

“Could it be a physical problem?”

“No, I’m a witch doctor myself. I checked him. Other than his big appetite, he’s fine.” Huanhuan spouted nonsense seriously.

Bai Luo trusted Huanhuan’s medical skills. Hearing her say this, he dispelled his suspicion of Clement being sick.

But he was still puzzled. This child, Clement, did not look like an ordinary child.

“Beasts usually can’t take human form until they reach adulthood. How can he take human form so soon?”

Huanhuan continued to lie through her teeth, “That’s because he ate the wrong thing.”

Bai Luo was very interested. “What did he eat?”

“It’s a golden bean. I’m not sure what it’s called. He picked it up on the way. He became like this after he ate it.”

“I see…”

Clement, who was sitting in Huanhuan’s arms, looked up and thought to himself, ‘Didn’t Mom feed me that bean? When did I pick it up and eat it myself?!’

Bai Luo sighed. “He’s a glutton. In the future, watch him closely and don’t let him pick up random things to eat. What if he gets an upset stomach?”

“Yes, I’ll pay more attention in the future.”

As Huanhuan spoke, she grabbed a large drumstick and handed it to Clement.

Clement ate with relish and immediately forgot about being framed for eating a bean.

Bai Di had told them all about their experience.

At this moment, Bai An and Bai Hao could confirm that the little female in front of them was their mother.

Even so, they still couldn’t accept it.

When they were young, they enjoyed a happy time with their mother. It was the most precious memory of their lives.

Later, their mother suddenly left without a word. From then on, there was no news. Everyone around them told them that their mother was dead and would never return.

At first, they didn’t believe it.

They insisted that their mother would definitely return.

However, after waiting day after day, not only did they not see their mother, but they were also sent to Sun City by their father.

From then on, the brothers lived with their uncle, Bai Luo.

Bai Luo was a very good elder and took very good care of the brothers. Even so, they still missed their mother, their brothers, and sisters. They wanted to live on the rock mountain.

Later, their father left Sun City too. They rarely saw him all year round.

The brothers were practically orphans without parents.

Time was gentle. It could heal all wounds.

But time was also cruel. It wore down all expectations bit by bit.

When Bai An and Bai Hao gradually grew up, they had to admit that their mother was indeed dead. She would never return.

Hope turned to disappointment, and disappointment turned to despair.

After despair, they just didn’t care anymore.

Bai An and Bai Hao no longer thought about the past. They had pulled themselves out of their memories and made a new life for themselves.

But now, their mother was back.

She stood in front of them alive.

When they were no longer looking forward to it, she returned.

Bai An and Bai Hao knew that they should be happy, but in fact, they were not happy at all.

Under Huanhuan’s expectant and nervous gaze, they could only squeeze out a word, “Mom.”

Huanhuan’s heart ached.

She smiled through her tears. “I’ve always missed you guys.”

Bai An and Bai Hao said nothing.

They had missed her too, but that was only in the past.

Now, they were no longer children who missed their mother every night.

They were adults now.

Huanhuan clearly saw the coldness in them.

This coldness made her uncomfortable.

After 19 years of separation, their mother-son relationship had been completely destroyed.

She wanted to fix it, but the children were no longer willing to accept her.

Bai Luo asked Bai An and Bai Hao about their gains from this trip and changed the topic, making the atmosphere warm again.

Bai Di took Huanhuan’s hand under the table.

Huanhuan looked up at him.

Bai Di said, “Don’t be discouraged. Take your time. We have a lot of time anyway.”
