638: Chapter 638 Two Little Milk Balls

They were wearing faded coarse cloth clothes, their hair was a bit yellow and dry, simply tied up, looking a bit frizzy.

Hearing Lin Yu approach, they turned their heads, and two pairs of clear, pure, untainted big eyes looked at him curiously.

One of the little girls tilted her head, her small brows slightly furrowed, and pointed at Lin Yu with her dirty little hand, speaking in a childish voice, her tone full of pure confusion and an instinctive closeness from her bloodline:

"Huh! Uncle, are you… Daddy? Why is Nian Nian's heart suddenly beating so fast!"

Her small hand unconsciously pressed against her tiny chest, seeming very puzzled by the sudden acceleration of her heartbeat.

Another little girl next to her also nodded vigorously, her big eyes blinking, a shy but incredibly strong light of anticipation flickering within them, and she softly echoed:

"Yes, Si Si too, her heart is thumping! Mommy said Daddy would definitely come find us, Daddy… is that you?"

Their eyes were so clean, their words so innocent, yet they were like two of the gentlest blunt knives, instantly and precisely piercing the softest, most unguarded part of Lin Yu's heart.

Previously, when his divine sense swept over, though he felt a sense of familiarity, he was more shocked by finding Chu Xi herself, and had not felt the tremor from the deepest part of his bloodline as clearly and at such close proximity as he did now!

Thump-thump—!!

Thump-thump—!!!

Lin Yu only felt as if his heart was fiercely clutched by an invisible giant hand, and then suddenly released.

The surging blood roared in his veins, and an unspeakable, scalding hot current instantly broke through all his reason and defenses.

No verification needed! No doubt whatsoever!

This resonance and pull from the deepest part of his soul and bloodline could not be wrong!

These two little ones in front of him, like little beggars, wearing coarse linen clothes, with dry yellow hair, dirty little faces, but looking at him with the purest eyes in the world—

They were his children!

They were his daughters!

They were Lin Yu's bloodline!

Looking at their obviously malnourished, dry yellow hair, at their rough and even patched clothes, at their mud-stained little faces full of innocent expectation… and then thinking of Chu Xi's toiling figure in the fields just now… an indescribable, heart-wrenching pain suddenly seized Lin Yu's heart!

Pain! Piercing to the core!

He possessed such powerful strength, endless resources and power; his woman and children should have enjoyed all the honor in the world, been pampered in every way, and lived carefree!

But they were here… living such a meager, poor life, even needing to work in the fields themselves!

How could he be such a father?!

Endless guilt, heartache, ecstasy, bitterness… all kinds of extreme emotions instantly overwhelmed him like a mountain torrent and a tsunami.

Lin Yu could no longer stand; he unconsciously squatted down, his tall body even trembling slightly from the intense emotional impact.

He stretched out his arms, his movements so gentle as if afraid of breaking rare treasures, carefully and cautiously embracing the two small figures, who were still a bit bewildered, tightly yet incredibly gently into his arms.

The moment he held them, hot tears could no longer be suppressed, gushing out from Lin Yu's eyes like a breached flood, sliding down his resolute cheeks, dripping onto his daughters' dry yellow hair, spreading into small, dark marks.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But his throat felt as if something was tightly blocked, he choked, trembled, and though he had a thousand words, at this moment, he couldn't even utter a clear syllable.

Only his tightly embracing arms, and the silently falling hot tears, spoke of the overwhelming emotions and the incomparable guilt and affection in his heart.

The sudden embrace and his father's hot tears first made the two little girls pause.

But then, the closeness and sense of security from the depths of their bloodline made them almost instinctively relax, and they also stretched out their tiny arms, hugging back this "uncle" who made their hearts race and felt incredibly warm and safe.

"Daddy… don't cry…"

Nian Nian softly and clumsily patted Lin Yu's back with her hand.

Si Si also imitated her sister, using her mud-stained little hand to wipe away Lin Yu's tears: "Daddy be good, Si Si and sister are very good…"

Their tender words made Lin Yu's heart ache even more, and he held them tighter.

The commotion here finally alerted Chu Xi, who was working in the fields.

She straightened up and turned her head to look, puzzled.

When her gaze fell upon the familiar figure squatting on the ground, tightly embracing the two children, and weeping, her entire being seemed to be frozen in place, and the farm tool in her hand dropped to the ground with a "clank."

Her pupils constricted violently, the color instantly drained from her face, and her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out.

Only two lines of clear tears silently streamed down instantly.

(Ps: Brothers, your longed-for Chu Xi is here!)

Lin Yu steadily held the two light little bundles in one hand and slowly stood up.

His gaze passed over the dry yellow tops of his daughters' heads and landed on Chu Xi's face, blurred by tears.

Years had etched traces of hardship on her face, but they had not erased the familiarity and deep affection carved into her bones and blood.

He extended his other hand, his fingertips trembling with endless tenderness, gently wiping away the hot tears on her cheeks.

The movement was as gentle as touching a fragile dream. Then, he stretched out his long arms and pulled her tightly, tightly into his embrace as well.

The family of four finally embraced tightly at this moment.

No words were needed, nor were they necessary.

Their body temperatures, heartbeats, and the long-suppressed choked breaths spoke of all the bitterness of separation and the ecstasy of reunion.

Lin Yu buried his face deeply into Chu Xi's neck, inhaling the faint scent, mixed with the smell of earth, that still haunted his dreams, and tightened his arms even more, as if to completely meld the three of them into his bones and blood, never to be separated.

Time lost its meaning at this moment.

After an unknown period, two faint "rumbling" sounds came from their tightly pressed little bellies.

This sound was like a tiny switch, instantly awakening the two who were immersed in each other's world.

Nian Nian and Si Si awkwardly wiggled their small bodies, looked up with their pure, innocent big eyes at Lin Yu, and whined in childish voices:

"Daddy, Nian Nian's tummy is hungry…"

"Si Si's tummy is growling too, Daddy…"

Their soft calls gently tickled Lin Yu's heart, also carrying a hint of shyness that pained him.

He immediately fussed, gently patting their backs, his voice unprecedentedly gentle, even a bit clumsy, as he coaxed them:
