She happily pulled Shen Yang along as they ran off, leaving that awkward topic far behind.
When they returned home, Shen Ruo's parents were extremely surprised to see the two of them together. Then came the joy.
"Xiaoyang, why didn't you give your mom a heads-up before coming back? You just showed up out of the blue. Even Xiaoruo's return was unannounced," Shen Ruo's mom said with a happy hug and a smile.
Shen Ruo's dad also put down his newspaper and came over. "Aren't you supposed to be at school? How come you're back all of a sudden?"
After greeting their parents, the family settled around the sofa, and then Shen Yang answered their questions, "Dad, Mom, I've already finished my courses ahead of schedule. I didn't tell you I was coming because I wanted to surprise you. As for Xiaoruo's return, it's because I notified her, so she came to pick me up at the airport."
