"Are you asking for pocket money?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Martial Saint ignored him, unexpectedly saying, "Isn't there a big business over at that small place?"

Jiang Chen was surprised, "Who told you that?"

He realized.

"Your sister?"

Lan Peizhi must have talked to this kid over the phone.

"My sister didn't say anything."

Afraid of misunderstanding, Martial Saint immediately explained, "I guessed."

"What did your sister tell you?"

Jiang Chen chuckled, "Did she ask you to think it over?"

"There's nothing to think about, I've agreed to it. It's not easy for me to get out here, how can I just go back?"

At the edge of the garden, Martial Saint looked out over the extremely luxurious residential area, and the Great East Sea glittering even in the night.

"Did your sister get angry?"

"Why would she get angry? My sister, most of the time, is very democratic."

Democratic.

Look at the use of that adjective.

This kid sure is emotionally intelligent.

"My sister said as long as I want it myself, she won't interfere."

Jiang Chen nodded.

In this matter, it's indeed more appropriate for siblings to communicate and handle it themselves.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Martial Saint turned his head, "Isn't there a big business over at that small place?"

To hide such a thing now isn't modesty, but pretentiousness, and the low-quality kind.

"Yes, but it has nothing to do with your enrollment."

Jiang Chen stood beside, also overlooking Spring and Autumn Plaza, at a height that most people in this world could never reach in their lifetime.

"Did I say it's related?"

Martial Saint laughed, giving off a deep sense of maturity despite his youth, as if mocking Jiang Chen for being overly defensive.

"Brother Jiang, even if you get rich, I won't be jealous."

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

This kid probably thinks his wealth comes from squeezing that small place he mentioned.

What surprised him wasn't this.

"What did you call me?"

"You're quite older, isn't it appropriate for me to call you big brother."

This kid was casual and relaxed.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.

Truly flattered.

Then, he touched his nose, "Am I that old?"

"I was presumptuous before, didn't expect you to be a hero."

Jiang Chen's smile grew wider, and after a while, he softly said, "I wouldn't say I'm a hero. A real hero does things beyond their duty, like how you should be attending school at your age. I just did what was expected at my level."

A kid shouldn't understand the underlying meaning.

Maybe Jiang Chen didn't see the boy as a child at that moment.

"No wonder my sister likes you, you really are different from those other men."

Martial Saint might not have understood, but at least he had a clear feeling.

The more he interacted, the more he discovered how special the man his sister brought home was.

Being wealthy isn't remarkable; it's this... what's the word, right, the composure in the face of adversity, that's admirable.

It made him less bothered about the "third party" matter.

Perhaps when this kid grows older, he'll understand that it's called charisma.

"Which men are you referring to?"

Jiang Chen asked with a teasing smile.

"Ha."

Just now he was praising himself, but in the blink of an eye, the kid turned indifferent, laughing coldly, "People who like my sister are everywhere."

Jiang Chen shook his head, bluntly saying, "Stop boasting."

Martial Saint was stumped, turned his head.

Jiang Chen continued to overlook the nighttime view of Spring and Autumn Plaza, "Your sister is indeed exceptional, but liking a woman like her requires courage. Those with such guts, I believe, are not many."

This damn.

Is it criticism or praise?

Effectively, Martial Saint didn't get mad, nor did he argue. He glanced at this guy who had impressed him, sighed helplessly, turned around again, and patted the parapet wall.

"I don't know what my sister's thinking. I haven't seen her date in years. Does she want to end up alone like Brother Yong Wen?"

"Everyone has their own ideal life pursuit. Some fear loneliness; some enjoy it. Do you think your sister needs emotional comfort? What she wants is spiritual freedom."

"Clap, clap..."

Suddenly.

The kid inexplicably raised his hand to applaud.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Chen responded calmly.

"If what you said is true, and my sister is cold-blooded, why would she bring you home?"

The Martial Saint questioned.

He roughly understood that the relationship between the other party and his older sister might not be as he imagined.

However.

It wasn't entirely different either.

Although he had dated quite a few friends, he was still just a middle school teenager and couldn't fathom this situation.

"I never said your sister is cold-blooded."

"If my sister truly wanted to be alone, she wouldn't have brought you back."

Facing the resolute Martial Saint, Jiang Chen didn't intend to argue with a kid, but he couldn't help but feel, wasn't the Wu Family misunderstanding something?

Hold on.

The Wu Family did misunderstand his relationship with Lan Peizhi, but didn't Lan Peizhi consider the possibility of causing a misunderstanding before bringing him back?

"Could you also be a coward?"

The Martial Saint looked at him, typical provocation.

The kid.

Didn't he know he already had a girlfriend?

Jiang Chen avoided the question, revealing a faint smile on his profile, "Kids shouldn't interfere in adult matters."

If this were before, hearing such a thing would have made the Martial Saint jump, but tonight he was remarkably composed.

"I only have this one sister, Wu Guangjiang doesn't count, my mom doesn't dare intervene, if I don't get involved, then nobody will."

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.

This unexpected statement from the kid sounded somewhat melancholic?

The Martial Saint was silent for a moment, his youthful face looking calm and composed.

"I don't understand you adults, I only have one request, for my sister to be happy."

This kid finally admitted he was a child, but his words were mature, touching, though it's a pity Lan Peizhi wasn't here, otherwise it would surely have been a moment to strengthen the sibling bond.

Jiang Chen was about to tease, when he heard the Martial Saint say, "If anyone makes my sister sad, haha, I'll make sure he can't be a man."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

Why does it feel like the kid's words have a hidden meaning?

"Then you'd better work hard, protecting your sister isn't something you can achieve just by talking."

Jiang Chen said softly.

The Martial Saint said nothing, quietly turned around.

Jiang Chen found it odd.

"Where are you going?"

"It's late, I'm going to shower and sleep, got school tomorrow."

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then laughed.

"So diligent?"

The Martial Saint stopped, his back to Jiang Chen, "Can't just be like my dad, only reaching out for help. A plant relying only on others to water and fertilize will never grow strong enough to withstand the storm."

The Martial God gazed at the meticulously cared-for precious potted plants in the garden.

Jiang Chen was speechless.

"Today was a conversation between men, so don't tell my sister. I'll behave at that school."

The Martial Saint still didn't turn his head, finished speaking, and walked away.

Jiang Chen kept watching him walk out of the garden.

This kid has always grown up in the countryside, but sometimes he doesn't quite seem like a rural child.

Did Lan Peizhi really leave him alone? Truly never taught him anything?

In the empty garden, Jiang Chen suddenly smiled silently.

A person indeed cannot survive alone in this world, no matter how strong, whether it's kinship, friendship, or romance, there will always be something that gives you strength.

Jiang Chen looked up.

There weren't many stars, but they seemed to be twinkling.

After enjoying the night sky for a while, Jiang Chen took out his phone.

Of course, it wasn't to tip off Lan Peizhi.

After all, it was a man-to-man conversation, how could he not keep the promise.

"Hey, bro."

The call connected, and the voice of Hong Xiaoyu on the other end was surprised.

"Are you asleep?"

"Nope. What's up, bro?"

"Just wanted to chat, are you free?"

"Sure, bro, I just finished showering, just chilling now."

Who doesn't have a brother?
