Yuan Kaiyang gave his father a hug and then hugged his mother.
He said he wanted to sleep with them, but in truth, neither of the couple slept a wink, and with hardly any sleep last night, their eyes were bloodshot, filled with fatigue.
"I'm off." Yuan Kaiyang turned and walked towards the balcony.
Deng Huiling took a few quick steps as though she wanted to catch up to him, but Yuan Hesheng gently held her arm and shook his head slightly.
Sooner or later, their son would leave; clinging to him would only add more annoyance and sorrow.
At that moment, Yuan Kaiyang turned from the balcony to look at them, then broke into a smile.
The couple's faces, originally full of sorrow, also hastily forced a smile.
This time, Yuan Kaiyang didn't speak to them; he simply raised his hand to wave, then slowly disappeared from their sight.
