The Road Home (归路) — Epilogue and Author’s Afterword *NOVEL COMPLETED*

It’s been five months since the start of this translation. Thank you, readers, for joining in on this ride. I am glad I had the honour and ability to bring this story to you, as well as, perhaps, a smile during this time.

This post contains the epilogue and the author’s afterword. Lastly, as is my custom, I have signed off with some of my own thoughts, which you are welcome to give a “miss.”

The final epilogue gives you the final piece of the puzzle, what each of them were truly thinking after they saw one another again in Inner Mongolia. *sniffles*

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 43

This ends the main story. Only one epilogue remaining. Thanks for reading here at hui3.wordpress.com

Full circle… This conclusion feels so satisfying to me; regrets are righted. I think they both feel lucky and thankful for this “do-over.”

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 42

Praying this chapter brings you all some smiles during this time. (I’ll be really surprised if you can hold back your smiles.)

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 41

So… we finally read about that moment. 😦  But on a happier note, yay for the new parents!

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 40

I love how the innocence of their teen years is contrasted with their maturity of the present. Yet, you feel that the purity of their relationship has still been preserved. And when Gui Xiao is with her Lu Chen, no matter what age she is, you feel like she will always be that young girl who rambles on to him, telling him anything and everything that comes to her mind and then tickling herself into amusement. ❤

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 39

Things definitely didn’t go according to plan.

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 38

Thinking about you guys, all my readers. “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ ” —Mr. Rogers

A simple phone call can bring calming peace.

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 37

Be well, everyone!

Long chapter. Haha, Lu Chen at three in the morning! Sweetness first. But later we see some of the things that people in Lu Yanchen’s line of work encounter. Sadly, such things do occur.

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 36

Sending everyone hugs…

Parents can testify that children (even when they are still in the belly) are always able to help us mark the passage of time. The joy of watching how they change each day is priceless. 🙂

The Road Home (归路) — Chapter 35

Please stay safe, everyone, and take care of yourself. There are no riches greater than health.

Yay! There is no fanfare, but the sweetness still is evident in a mundane way. And I love how precocious Qin Xiaonan is.
