East wing, Xu family.

The midday sun shone on Yang Xiaoyue, leaving a beautiful silhouette on the ground at the door.

She was seen standing quietly at the door, her beautiful eyes staring eagerly in the direction of the Moon Gate, making sure she could see Xu Changping returning as soon as possible.

In her previous life, Yang Xiaoyue’s favorite fruit was the durian, which had a rich and unique aroma. Her parents spoiled her and often bought it for her.

However, the world later underwent earth-shaking changes, and various disasters followed one after another, plunging people into endless suffering.

Since then, this delicious fruit, durian, has become an unattainable luxury, and Yang Xiaoyue has never been able to taste it again.

Unexpectedly, today she smelled a long-lost scent on Xu Changping's body. How could she not be anxious?

Fortunately, Xu Changping didn't make her wait long. He walked in from the Moon Gate holding a cardboard box.

Seeing the beauty holding the door to greet him, Xu Changping said in a very unpleasant tone: "Why are you standing at the door? What if the wind blows you?"

"It's okay. You don't know my physical condition. I won't get sick." Looking at Xu Changping who was striding towards her, Yang Xiaoyue silently retracted her outstretched toes and said with a smile.

"You have eight more to say to me." Xu Changping rolled his eyes at Yang Xiaoyue and said, "Do you want to eat the durian now or take it home?"

"Eat it now, no need to take it back." Her favorite fruit was right in front of her, and she didn't have the patience to walk home slowly.

If her current physical condition had not allowed it, she would have stepped forward to take the box.

"Okay, I'll do it for you now, just walk in slowly." Hearing Yang Xiaoyue say this, Xu Changping resigned himself to carrying the box into the house.

Xu Changping put the box on the ground and took out a yellow durian from it. Even if Xu Changping didn't eat it, he knew at a glance that it was ripe.

Picking up the fruit knife on the dining table and prying open the durian shell, Xu Changping patiently took out every inch of the flesh inside.

When he brought the plate of fruit pulp to the coffee table, Yang Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth. The rich fragrance instantly spread in her mouth, and she closed her eyes in satisfaction.

Seeing her anxious look, Xu Changping smiled helplessly and said, "Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you."

"I know, I just haven't eaten it for a long time, and I missed it so much." Yang Xiaoyue swallowed the fruit in her mouth, replied to him in her busy schedule, and then devoted herself to the great task of drying durian.

Seeing the flesh on the plate gradually dwindling, Xu Changping had to speak out to stop them, "No matter how delicious this thing is, you can't eat so much! Everything has its limits, and eating too much of anything is not good."

"I'm eating the last piece." As she said that, Yang Xiaoyue quickly picked up the largest piece on the plate and put it into her mouth.

Xu Changping shook his head helplessly, and carried the plate to the kitchen under Yang Xiaoyue's reluctant gaze.

It seems that we can’t give her the remaining durian for now, otherwise, if she keeps eating it this way, she probably won’t last more than a day.

Since there was no way to eat anymore, Yang Xiaoyue regained her dignified appearance, slowly walked into the bathroom, tidied up, and then sat back on the sofa leisurely.

"By the way, where is Xiao Mi? Didn't you go to see her?" After finishing eating the durian, Yang Xiaoyue also remembered what Xu Changping had done before, and asked hurriedly.

"Xiao Mi is enjoying herself in the backyard." Xu Changping said angrily.

Yang Xiaoyue frowned slightly, looked at Xu Changping in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Changping opened the clay pot of medicinal food and said as he looked at it, "It's what you think. She's eating durian at Yan Jiecheng's house. Otherwise, where do you think these things in my hand came from?"

"Did you take this from Yan Jiecheng's house? How could he have this thing? This is a very southern fruit." Yang Xiaoyue's slightly frowned brows instantly tightened, and she said with some confusion.

"He's in purchasing. He wanders around the city and can't get anything he wants." Xu Changping explained to Yan Jiecheng casually.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaoyue didn't know whether she believed it or not. Anyway, she let the topic go and asked, "Wasn't Xiao Mi playing in the front yard? Why did she run to the back?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, when I walked into the room, I saw Xiao Mi and Cui Miaomiao eating happily. Their hands and faces were covered with durian pulp." Thinking of the appearance of Xiao Mi and Cui Miaomiao, Xu Changping smiled and shook his head.

"Is that so?" Yang Xiaoyue suppressed the thoughts in her mind and replied insincerely.

Since she couldn't get the answer, she would ask Xiao Mi when she came back. She could also ask Yan Jiecheng if there were any durians left at home. Judging from Xu Changping's expression, he probably wouldn't give her the remaining durians for the time being.

Just then, Xu Changping walked out of the kitchen with a cup of steaming tea in his hand.

He gently placed the teacup on the coffee table, and said with a doting smile, "You just ate so much durian, drink some tea to cool down."

Although Yang Xiaoyue was reluctant, she could not resist the urging of Xu Changping's eyes, so she reached out and slowly picked up the teacup. She blew gently a few times, then carefully put her lips close to the edge of the cup and took a small sip.

At this moment, a loud "bang" was suddenly heard from the originally quiet room, and the door seemed to be pushed open by a huge force.

The sudden noise startled Yang Xiaoyue, and the teacup in her hand almost slipped.

Before she could react, a clear and pleasant voice came into her ears: "Sister, Brother Candy, I'm back!" It turned out that Xiao Mi ran in in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, another gentle and sweet voice was heard: "Sister Yang, hello Uncle Xu, sorry to bother you." The person who spoke was Cui Miaomiao, who walked in behind Xiao Mi. She smiled and politely greeted the two people in the room.

"Don't disturb me, come and sit down." Yang Xiaoyue showed great tenderness to her sister's only friend in the yard.

"Thank you." After Cui Miaomiao thanked, she smiled and followed Xiao Mi to the sofa in the main room.

"Sister, look, this is the little bird that Miaomiao and I rescued from the backyard. Look how beautiful its feathers are." After Xiao Mi carefully placed the thing in her arms on the coffee table, she immediately introduced it to Yang Xiaoyue with great pride.

Xu Changping stared at the child on the coffee table, observing him carefully for a while before he said uncertainly, "This is a Saker Falcon, right?"

The young bird on the coffee table has a gray-brown upper body and a white head. If you look closely, you can see that some of its feathers are black and white.

He had only seen photos of grown-up Saker Falcons on the Internet, but had never seen what a baby Saker Falcon looked like, so he could only make this guess.
