" Yu Mai! What are you doing?" Yu Dong almost dropped the steamer in her hands if not for Chen Mi reaching out and holding it tight. She handed the streamer to her husband and then went to pull Yu Mai away from Lang Ru who was smiling and laughing. " How many times I have told you after the age of seven, mer and girls should keep their distance!" 

" Oh, I am sorry sister.." Yu Mai lowered his head as he too realised that he did something wrong but he was too excited to see Lang Ru that he forgot that he needed to keep his distance from her. He then turned to look at Lang Ru and said, " Welcome home sister Ru." 

" Yeah, it's good to be back home, Mai," Lang Ru smiled at Yu Mai ignoring the glare which was pointed at her by Yu Dong. She then turned to look at her family and then happily smiled before opening her arms, " Mom aren't you going to hug me ?"
