It was a sumptuous dinner.

　　 But… Charles and Eric was watching Mike and Clark eating with teary eyes, while the two of them only had a bowl of white rice and saliva slipping from the their mouths.

　　 "Dad, you are too cruel!"

　　 Charles protested in a low voice, his eyes following Mike's constantly moving chopsticks.

　　 "Hmm…"

　　 Mike swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "Before you secretly left, why didn't you think that, that was also cruel"

　　 Crunchh!

　　 A crispy fried chicken nugget made a crunching noise in Mike's mouth.

　　 Charles looked at the chicken nuggets, and slowly eat his rice sluggishly and said: "Dad, I was wrong!"

　　 Mike deliberately looked at Eric, He picked up the kid's favorite braised eggplant, shook it back and forth, blew it on his mouth, and put it into Clark's bowl.

　　 "Pop!"

　　 Eric pressed his chopsticks on the table, stood on the chair violently, and said angrily: "Dad, you are being a bully!"

　　"Bully?" Mike smiled faintly and said: "I traveled for thousands of mile…"

　　 "Dad, that's stretching a bit, it's not that far... ."

　　 Clark couldn't help but correct him

　　 Mike glared at Clark and said, "Shut up!"

　　 "Because of you, I traveled thousands of miles, you are the bully!"

　　 Eric shook his head and said: "I don't care, I don't care, you are bullying me now, and I'm going to fight back"

　　 "Revolt?" Mike sneered and said, "Then don't eat the rice either."

　　 "Dad, I was wrong!"

　　 Eric pressed his growling belly and decided to bear the humiliation first.

　　 Mike nodded in satisfaction, and ended the dinner with two pair of envious eyes.

　　 At the end of dinner, Clark looked at the leftovers on a table and asked to wash the dishes.

　　 Mike agreed, turned around and went back to the room without pointing out his sneaky request.

　　 Clark waved to his two younger brothers and pointed to the dishes on the table.

　　 Eric and Charles immediately began to sweep the plates clean.

　　afted eating a delicious dinner, tears filled their eyes.

　　 "Hush!" Clark made a gesture and said to the two of them: "Be quiet, eat faster!"

　　 The two nodded frantically.

　　 Mike in his room made a skill cards, and estimated when would the two finish he waited for a while and walked out.

　　 He glanced at the two who were watching some cartoons, Mike walked into the kitchen, leaning against the door frame.

　　 "Clark, come out with me for a second."

　　 Clark wiped his hands and turned his head and said: "Coming!"

　　 Mike stretched out his hand to measure Clark's height: " I didn't realize how tall you've grown, hah,..time flies."

　　"Dad…"

　　 "Come with me."

　　 Mike patted Clark's shoulders, and the two walked out.

　　 opening the door of the basement, Mike reached out and fumbled, and after turning on the light, he rolled up a blanket on the ground and pulled a piece of the floor apart to reveal the spaceship that Mike had hidden underground.

　　"This is the spaceship you were on when you came."

　　 Clark looked at the spaceship, jumped into the pit, circled the spaceship, his face was surprisingly calm, then jumped out of the pit, suddenly hugged Mike, and said: "Dad, it's really nice that you're the one I met "

　　 If Mike, is not the one who found him, whether he can live by now and whether he can live freely is a question.

　　 Mike rubbed his black soft short hair, and took out the key with the Symbol of Clark's Family, handed it to Clark, and said: "This is the key on the spaceship. You may find it useful."

　　 Clark stretched out his hand and said, "You can save it for now and just give it to me later."

　　 "Dad, where did I came from? Why did I appear on Earth? Where are they?"

　　His voice is low and his mood is very low.

　　 Mike hugged Clark, looked at the distressed child and said, "We are here."

　　 Clark tensed, then softened again, and hugged Mike hard.

　　 Mike patted Clark on the head with twitching face and said: "Kid, let go, or my old waist will be crushed."

　　 Clark grinned and smiled.

　　 "Dad, I need to travel to find answers."

　　 "Yes, but not now."

and then...

　　 "Dad, what good stuff are you hiding here?"

　　 Charles and Eric appeared at the door.

　　 Mike's eyes twitched, crossed his hands and said: "Are you already full? Are the food delicious?"

　　 "It's delicious! Especially…"

　　 Charles grasped Eric's mouth and whispered: "Idiot, why did you say it!"

　　 Eric blinked, the turned around and ran with Charles.

　　 "Go ahead, watch TV with them."

　　 Mike patted Clark on the head.

　　 "Hmm!"

　　 Clark responded and walked away quickly.

　　 Mike closed the basement and walked out.

　　 "Heh, the stars tonight are pretty good!"

　　He looked up at the sky, Mike sighed quietly.

　　 He remembered that there was such a scene the night that Clark's spacecraft landed.

　　 It's been so long.

　　 "Clark is already ten years old, I…"

　　 he paused, Mike's mouth twitched: "Damn, I'm almost forty? "

　　 Mike sighed and then looked at the sky.
