Ding dong…
"Son, are you home?" Father Su's voice came from outside the house.
"Yes, I am."
Su Bai responded quickly and got up to open the door.
Just as he opened the door, his father came forward and gave him a bear hug. Slapping his son's vest with his big hand, the older man said excitedly, "Amazing, my son—you're amazing! You gave me such a big surprise!"
"Dad, don't be so excited. I just obtained a trainer certificate; it's no big deal."
Su Bai was a little dazed by his father's sudden action.
"What do you mean no big deal? Do you really think I don't understand anything? The chief's son in the neighboring village hasn't passed the test for seven or eight years, but you did, and it's on your first try to boot. You're so skilled!"
Father Su let go of his son, his voice still agitated. Even his face was lit with comfort, joy, and pride.
