At around 12 noon, they stopped at the Midway Expressway Service Area for a simple buffet meal, took a short rest, and continued on the road.

Liu Muling had already run to the back seat and folded the seat into a bed, sleeping soundly in the back.

Wang Zhou was sitting there, holding a book in his hand and reading with gusto.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, they got off the Yuandu Expressway.

Liu Muling changed cars, and Xie Yunrong drove Wang Zhou's SUV to take her back to her hometown.

Liu Muling's hometown is not in Yuandu, but in Longdu, a county-level city below Yuandu.

Wang Zhou’s parents’ hometown is also in Longdu, and Wang Zhou’s grandparents and grandparents are also in Longdu now.

But since both my parents' jobs were in Yuandu, their family settled in Yuandu.

"Wang Zhou, go back and tell your aunt and uncle that it's a bit late today. I won't go see them now. I'll come back when I return to the Magic City." Liu Muling changed cars and then said to Wang Zhou.

"OK!" Wang Zhou gave Liu Muling an 'OK' gesture.

"Yunrong, drive slower on the road." Wang Zhou greeted Jie Yunrong again.

"Don't worry, Teacher Wang." Jie Yunrong smiled at Wang Yiyi and nodded.

Both of their brothers were retired from the mysterious special forces, so driving for such a short distance was no problem for them at all.

Jie Yunrong turned the car around and got on the highway again.

If you take the expressway from Yuandu to Longdu, it only takes half an hour, so it is quite fast. If there was no expressway in the past two years, it would have taken three hours to walk down the road. Now the speed is half that.

When Liu Muling and the others got on the highway, Wang Zhou sat in the passenger seat and directed Xie Yunzheng to go home.

Wang Zhou's family lives in Yuandu New Town. They also have a house in the old town, but they moved here so that it would be more convenient for his parents to go to work.

Yuandu Medical College and Yuandu Senior High School both moved to Xincheng District, so they had no choice but to purchase a new property in Xincheng District.

Xie Yunzheng parked the car in the underground parking lot, while Wang Zhou and Xie Yunzheng moved the gifts he prepared for his parents upstairs. As for the gifts he prepared for his relatives, they stayed in the car. After all, moving around was too tiring.

.

Jingle Bell……

Wang Zhou rang the doorbell, but he deliberately didn't open the door himself because he didn't tell his parents in advance about going home, he just wanted to surprise them.

"Who..." Zhou Rui's voice came from the house, and the door opened in response.

When Wang Zhou heard that familiar voice, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and his tear ducts couldn't help but move.

"Son?!" Zhou Rui opened the door and saw Wang Zhou standing at the door, and immediately rushed towards him in surprise.

Wang Zhou didn't pay attention, and was actually pushed back two steps by his mother. Jie Yunzheng, who was standing behind Wang Zhou, had quick eyes and quick hands and reached out to block Wang Zhou. Otherwise, Wang Zhou would have to take two or three steps back to stabilize.

.

"Son, why are you back? Why didn't you tell me when you came back?" Zhou Rui rubbed Wang Zhou's cheeks with both hands, full of maternal love.

"What? My son is back?"

At this time, Wang Run, who was mopping the floor in the living room, heard Zhou Rui's voice and hurriedly threw the mop on the ground, then trotted out.

Wang Run rushed to the door and happened to see Wang Zhou.

"Dad!" Wang Zhou also saw Wang Run rushing out of the room and shouted to him.

"Okay, come... come in quickly, don't stand at the door and let the neighbors watch." Wang Run nodded repeatedly, and then reminded him hurriedly.

"Yes, yes... my son is now a celebrity. If someone discovers that you are back, I'm worried that our door will be broken down tomorrow, especially the teachers in Yuan Gao. They all want to ask for calligraphy from my son! But you

Don't worry, I rejected it for you." Zhou Rui also thought of this and hurriedly pulled Wang Zhou into the house.

"I have checked your calligraphy treasures. They can be sold for a lot of money online. If they want it... how can you just give it to them casually?"

"By the way, who is this?" Zhou Rui also noticed Jie Yunzheng standing behind him at this time, and couldn't help asking curiously.

"My friend, you came back with me this time." Wang Zhou smiled and introduced Jie Yunzheng to his parents.

"Hello, auntie. Hello, uncle..." Xie Yunzheng hurriedly greeted Zhou Rui.

"Come on, come on... come in and sit down." Zhou Rui hurriedly greeted Jie Yunzheng and entered the house together.

Jie Yunzheng nodded, helped move the gifts brought by Wang Zhou into the house, and then stood at the door to greet Zhou Rui and Wang Run.

"Uncle, aunt, I won't go in, you are busy."

"You...you kid, since you are Wang Zhou's friend, then treat this place as your home. Where are you going?" Zhou Rui and Wang Run were stunned. They looked at Wang Zhou, confused.

How could this happen?

"It's okay, you can go about your business."

Wang Zhou smiled at Jie Yunzheng, then waved his hand, then stopped Zhou Rui and pulled her towards the room.

Jie Yunzheng nodded to Zhou Rui and Wang Run, then closed the door and went downstairs.

Before coming, Wang Zhou and his brothers had already discussed it. They would find a hotel to stay near Wang Zhou's house. They could move around as they pleased on weekdays and make their own arrangements for food and drink. He would not arrange for them at home.

"Son, who is he?" Zhou Rui looked at Wang Zhou curiously, feeling that they were not as simple as friends as Wang Zhou said.

Since they are friends and they are already at the doorstep, it is reasonable to invite them into the house to rest for a while, but why...

Wang Zhou's parents were a little confused.

"Well, how should I put it? He is my bodyguard!" Wang Zhou thought for a while and did not lie to his parents, but made it clear.

"Bodyguard? Did you hire him?"

Zhou Rui was stunned. He didn't expect to hear the word bodyguard from Wang Zhou's mouth. This made them look at each other and were stunned.

In their minds, bodyguards only exist for some big shots, as well as some celebrities and rich people. It is almost rare to see them around ordinary people like them. However, they actually heard these two words from Wang Zhou's mouth. It was really

It surprised them both.

Although Wang Zhou is now considered a celebrity, he still doesn't have to carry a bodyguard with him wherever he goes. This makes him look like a super big shot, which makes Zhou Rui and Wang Run a little bit unable to recover.

.

"I'll explain this to you later." Wang Zhou put his arm around Yi Ren, and then the family of three sat on the sofa.

"Those are the gifts I bought for you." After Wang Zhou sat down, he happened to see the pile of things piled at the door and couldn't help but point.

"You kid, come back as soon as you come back. Your parents don't need anything. Why are you spending that money? Although you are a little famous now, you still have to learn to save money when you live in the magic city." Zhou Rui saw Wang

Zhou bought so many things that he couldn't help but knock Wang Zhou on the head to remind him.

"Did you hear that?" Seeing that Wang Zhou didn't notice, Zhou Rui couldn't help but emphasized.

Although Zhou Rui doesn't know whether Wang Zhou can make money, her colleagues all say that it is quite easy for Wang Zhou to make money now. Not only is he famous and popular, but the key is that one of his calligraphy can be seen online.

You can be fired for more than a million dollars, and you may even lose ten million dollars.

Zhou Rui was also surprised by this. She didn't believe it at first, but after searching on the Internet, it turned out that it was true. Wang Zhou's works were indeed sought after by netizens. Many people were thinking of collecting a piece of Wang Zhou's works.

It's just that Wang Zhou's works have never been circulated in the market. They are basically given away for use, so people who want to collect them have no chance to harvest his works.

"I heard it, I heard it..." Wang Zhou apologized hurriedly.

What Wang Zhou fears most is nothing but his mother's nagging. Once his mother's nagging starts, there will be no end.

"Why didn't you say hello to your parents in advance when you came back this time?" Zhou Rui looked at Wang Zhou, looked him up and down, and asked.

"Didn't my cousin just return from abroad? She has successfully passed the interview with Hongmeng Technology. She didn't want to come back to see her second aunt and uncle during the long vacation, so I came back with her. As for why

I didn't tell you in advance because I wanted to give you a surprise." Wang Zhou held someone in his arms and sat between his parents, saying happily.

"That's all you have in mind." Zhou Rui and Wang Run both laughed.

"Is the Hongmeng Technology where your cousin joined the company the same Hongmeng Technology that Kirin created..." Wang Run suddenly thought of something when he heard Wang Zhou's words, and couldn't help but confirm curiously.

Wang Run and the others are still relatively new to Hongmeng Technology, but they are very familiar with Kirin Original. They are also reading the novel "Fang Cun Zhuji", and the couple will discuss the plot from time to time.

What Wang Zhou didn't know was that the common topic between the two of them was Wang Zhou, but since Wang Zhou was admitted to Magic University, the two of them suddenly had less in common, and now they suddenly discovered that they

A new common language has been unlocked, and that is the novel "Fang Cun Zhuji".

"Yes. Kirin Original is a platform under Hongmeng Technology." Wang Zhou nodded and said.

"This platform is good. Your cousin is very capable. Your cousin made the right choice by choosing this platform." Wang Run nodded and commented seriously.

Wang Zhou looked at his father in astonishment. "Well...how do you know you made the right choice? Do you know Qilin Original?"

Wang Zhou originally thought that Qilin Original belongs to the new generation of original online literature, and those who like these original literature should be relatively young people. However, his father is now in his fifties and is usually an extremely rigorous person. How could he like to read it?

Original literature? This surprised Wang Zhou.

"How come I don't know about Qilin Original? Not only do I know it, but your mother also knows it. We are currently chasing the novel 'Fang Cun Zhuji' on the Qilin Original platform." Wang Run retorted immediately after hearing Wang Zhou's words.

Ahem...

At this moment, Wang Zhou took the tea brought by Zhou Rui and just drank it. When he heard Wang Run's words, he almost choked on his breath.

Wang Zhou looked at Wang Run in astonishment. He was frightened by his father's words.

"You kid, you can choke even if you drink some water..." Zhou Rui hurriedly helped Wang Zhou beat his back and pulled some paper towels to Wang Zhou.

"Are you okay?"
